The remaining weeks until the Champions Tournament finally passed, and the event kicked off both in the Spiritual World and in The Adamant Land.
Beings from practically every major organization, family, state and continent had signed up for the event, with 500 individuals registered for the competitions in the Spiritual World and The Adamant Land. 200 of them would vie for the two slots for subordinates of the Stuart family, while the rest would fight for the two slots for individuals not subordinate to the family.
Given the large number of entrants, far more than Rowan and the others had expected, the battles would take place first between the members of groups of 10 competitors each and then between the winners of each group.
