Gently nodding his head, Huo Yuhao didn't say anything, but his eyes were extremely determined. However, Nangong Wan did not know that his determination was not just for this competition itself.
The host then introduced the seven referees.
All seven referees were high-level Soul Masters. Among them, three were level 9 Soul Masters, and the remaining four were at level 8. As soon as these seven individuals took the stage, their presence immediately filled the arena with their aura.
Their speeches clearly did not have that heavy scent of gunpowder and were more focused on the fairness of the competition, along with some uninspired words of encouragement for the nine competitors.
The seats for the seven referees were set up on the stage. Seven comfortable chairs had already been placed there.
