Chapter 89: Between a Rock and an Hard Place

The news of the upcoming finals spread like wildfire.

The finals were set to be the biggest event of the year at this level, and tension was high as beast masters from all over the region prepared for the elimination rounds.

The structure was brutal: 64 fighters, each facing two randomly chosen opponents.

The top 32 would advance to the finals based on their results, but the randomness added a layer of anxiety for everyone.

Some might be paired against two of the toughest fighters and be knocked out, while others could have an easier path. It was anyone's game.

At Crescent Moon Agency, the buzz was palpable. Fighters and trainees gathered around, watching the screens as the final spots were announced.

Only a few slots remained, and the pressure to make an impact was overwhelming.

The agency's stars had been performing well, but everyone was anxious to see who would make the cut.
