East of Meridian City, there was a large state-sponsored agricultural district. Due to the city's importance for maritime trade, grain and crop production comprised 60% of the area's economy. As a result, the reserved farmland was shockingly large, considering its proximity to a mega city.
There were thirty square miles of farmland in the district. In the center was a large swath of cornfields in a rotation that around eighty people were navigating to.
Three dozen cultivators were above the fields. They had recently flown there and were now overlooking the contestants.
"This is it, Jacob?" A familiar woman frowned, her brunette hair wrapped in a tight bun, "Of the hundred thousand or more ants, less than a hundred made it?"
The cultivator that appraised Kaze on June 2nd turned to a man who looked like he was in charge with a stern expression. He felt sweat drip down his shoulder blades, and his two subordinates shuddered. "Why is there so few people?"
Just as a reminder, every cultivator is constrained to the Qi scarcity limitations. Therefore, Kaze is far more powerful than any individual cultivator on his home turf. However, there is an Achilles heel, which is that there is only so much Qi he has to attack before he must flee and recharge. It's a serious problem that makes him weak against numbers, which are fully charged batteries. Thanks for reading!
