Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 251: First Round, First Win

After Arthur took his seat, which was close to where the strongest disciples from other powers were seated, a hush fell over the arena.

The atmosphere was tense with anticipation as the referee for the matches stepped forward to announce the process for determining opponents.

"We will now draw lots for the first round of battles," the referee declared, his voice echoing across the massive stadium.

A series of murmurs rippled through the crowd as everyone prepared to receive their numbers.

Soon, the disciples each received a token marked with a number.

An array device, glowing faintly with spiritual energy, was brought forward.

Its simple purpose was to randomly match two numbers together, deciding who would fight whom.

Arthur glanced at his token, marked with the number 219, before calmly placing it in his pocket.

He observed the other contestants, who ranged from visibly nervous to completely indifferent.

A few wore cocky smirks, clearly confident in their strength.@@novelbin@@

When the matches were decided, the referee began assigning the fighters to their respective battle rings.

Each ring, reinforced with a protective barrier, shimmered faintly with the glow of spiritual energy.

Once everyone took their place, the contestants began sizing up their opponents.

Some stared their rivals down with focused determination, while others wore casual expressions, barely acknowledging the person they were about to face.

The tension was palpable, with every movement and glance scrutinized by the spectators.

Among the crowd of contestants, one individual stood out—Sun Wukong. Quiet and unassuming, he had joined the contest purely to fight strong opponents, hoping to find someone worthy of his abilities.

However, so far, he had been disappointed.

His opponents were weak, unable to push him to even half of his strength.

Boredom was written all over his face as he sat cross-legged, casually twirling a staff between his fingers.

His first opponent, a disciple of the Fire Spirit Sect, glared at him with barely concealed anger.
