The moment they heard the rule, many of the awakened thought about delaying their entry onto the stage.
After all, this rule was quite disadvantageous for those who ascended the platform first!
Unless an awakened was strong enough to consecutively defeat all the challengers by themselves, the latecomers who conserved their strength would likely have the upper hand.
Consequently, the awakened exchanged glances, but no one was willing to step forward.
Even those confident in their strength hesitated, standing still and staring at each other.
"Of course, any awakened who ascends the stage and wins five consecutive matches can step down to rest. Furthermore, only those who have achieved five consecutive victories can challenge each other!"
"If no one is willing to come forward, then we will have to assume that none of you are interested in the Starry River Map, and we might just have to keep it for ourselves."
