The atmosphere beneath the Golden Flag gradually became heavier as the first elimination battles began unfolding one after another.
Every participant gathered there was a genuine genius, and unlike the previous rounds where weaker competitors had often been carried forward by luck or clever decisions, nobody standing beneath the Golden Flag lacked confidence in their own abilities.
Mark Smith's battle ended exactly as everyone expected.
The Imperial Family genius stepped onto the arena, exchanged several moves with his opponent, and crushed him without ever drawing the Serpent Spirit Sword on his back. The spectators were left amazed, but not surprised. That was the standard expected from Mark Smith.
