Those standing in the square were all elite talents, the cream of the crop, who had passed a series of grueling assessments.
In terms of disposition and willpower, they were far superior to ordinary people.
Many among them even possessed strength that greatly surpassed other Cultivators of the same Realm.
Compared to the thousands, even tens of thousands, who had been eliminated,
they were the final, chosen elite!
So,
having endured numerous trials to finally stand here as the ultimate victors,
having trampled over the corpses of countless others to reach this final stage, a sense of pride and self-assurance had naturally bloomed in their hearts.
It was the pride and confidence of a genius!
