The weather today wasn't too good, it was overcast and somewhat oppressive, with clouds in the sky that weren't dark, yet they wouldn't allow the sun to show its face. Fortunately, the air was still reasonably fresh, and it wasn't raining.
The start of the round-robin matches also marked the opening of the resting area for the contestants. Today was only the first round of the round-robin competition, with four of the total eight groups of participating teams taking the stage. However, all sixty-seven teams that had made it through the knockout round were sitting in the resting area without exception.
They were there to watch the competition. To be more precise, they wanted to re-experience the shock of the first day of the big tournament and to see if that youth from Shrek and the Tang Sect truly had six hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
