Quickly, Lu Hong faced his second preliminary match. By now, Piaomiao was likely too preoccupied to pay attention to this side. It was a routine and overwhelming duel, as his opponent was a level eight Second Transition, easily defeated by Lu Hong, a level five Great War Master. There was nothing worth bragging about.
After this round of preliminaries, he was officially through the review process. From then on, each duel would take place in the medium-sized arenas to the left and right of the Tianyuan Colosseum. Moreover, the matches would be open to the public, allowing residents of the Seventh Floating World to attend in person during the scheduled time.
Where there were matches, naturally, betting would follow. The four Dukes joined forces to open a betting booth. It was a surefire way to make money, with no loss possible.
