While Wei Wuyin's abrupt departure had left many with lingering and unanswered questions, the Elimination Stage of the Saint Cyclic Alchemic Clash proceeded with phenomenal smoothness.
After a few months of fights, 15 out of 242 Chosen Knights were selected. The Earthly Saints had decided on these top-tier talents based not just on their innate talents or combat ability but how the Mortal Sovereign Alchemists had perfectly nurtured these characteristics using certain curated regimens of alchemical products.
This type of judgment allowed those who lost matches to prevail, making their way through the rounds, and eventually, a few made through that had only won once or twice. This loudly reminded spectators that the Chosen Knights were not the central focus of the clash, but the alchemist's ability to nurture in a limited amount of time.
