Zadin's day two in the Alliance started with the arena's first fight. Everyone's buzzing with anticipation; only three hours left until the fight begins. Each group requires six members, but only three of those who have signed up are allowed to team up. The remaining three slots will be filled based on the results of the first day's competition, grouping the strongest with the strongest and the weakest with the weakest.
"Why group the weak with the weak, won't that hinder their growth?" ( Dulun - head of the Wulan temple )
"The Emperor decreed: we cannot intervene. He noted that pairing the weak with the strong would only burden them, whereas uniting the weak fosters self- reliance and growth."–Wuyi
The warriors gathered in the arena as the bell tolled. Wuyi emerged, welcoming them: 'Greetings, cultivators. The future of our empire may lie within one of you. Let us provide you an opportunity to prove yourselves. The crown of the former Team Leader of Squad A ignited, and the warriors stood at attention. Wuyi declared: 'Repeat after me :We, the Golden Knights of the Dadom Empire, vow to Honor your sacrifices with justice and continue your legacy.' The crowd repeated the oath.
Soon enough the referee addressed the contestants, outlining the battle rules: 'Within Endeavour Square, you are permitted to unleash your full potential, including lethal techniques, until your opponent surrenders or falls. The crowd was shocked to learn that killing blows were allowed, as the battle would only end when one opponent surrendered. However, Zadin stood apart, unfazed by the prospect of killing to triumph, his conscience and eerily untroubled. Following the announcement, the screen displayed the competing fighters: Kimaya of Qiran Temple and Zuzu of Xisha Temple. The first match featured two formidable female warriors, who entered the arena surrounded by a protective barrier emmiting a blue glow, neutralizing external assaults. Zuzu donned her distinctive purple armour, wielding her radiant swords and accompanied by her poisonous butterfly mount. In contrast, Kimaya adorned her venerable magical armor, paired with star blades, and rode majestically on her king unicorn mount. The bell rang, and the fight commenced. Zuzu swiftly unleashed her butterfly mount's poisonous, razor - sharp appendages. However, Kimaya adeptly evaded the attack using her protective golden gear and conjured a cage of thorny roses, courtesy of her mount's unique abilities.
"Locking up my steed? Think again."
"Put your money where your mouth is."- Kimaya
"Savor the calm before the storm." -Zuzu
"Enough talking; take this !"Kimaya unleashed a flurry of daggers at Zuzu, barely missing her. Zuzu swiftly countered by locking onto Kimaya's mount, preventing it from capturing her butterfly steed.
