After her encounter with Hollard, Lin Mu no longer felt like she was in the right headspace to fight, as she rarely paid attention to her surroundings when she walked out to the arena.
She was the first fighter to be introduced and the audience reception to her walking out was pretty warm, with some men even hitting on her for her looks, however, she could not focus on those sounds at all, as Hollard and the vial he left behind were the only things going on in her head.
"This bout has the same rules as the quarter-finals…. You can win the fight by either incapacitating your enemy or by making them surrender….." the match referee came up to her and said, as he explained all the rules of the match as was his duty, however, Lin Mu did not even pay any attention to him as she was lost in her own thoughts.
