Whoever wins this tournament will get the chance to fight the Demon King and the Human King—and possibly even be chosen as the next ruler.
The tournament was divided into multiple stages. The third level was considered the easiest, where contestants fought solo battles within their own territories—demons in the demon zone, humans in the human zone. From there, 10 top demons and 10 top humans were selected, making up a total of 20 participants.
These 20 would be given one year to travel across the world and form a team of five, choosing only those they could fully trust to fight beside them in future stages. This also gave other warriors a chance to join the tournament—if chosen by one of these 20 participants, they too could enter, even without qualifying directly.
Eventually, only four teams would make it to the final round. Then, those team leaders would have to collaborate and defeat the remaining two teams. The winning team would earn the right to challenge the current kings—and possibly replace them.

Did WeiChen and Hiroshi join the tournament?
Yes. And the battles they would face… were anything but ordinary.
WeiChen, upon entering the tournament, started crushing his opponents one by one. His sharp mind, deadly reflexes, and overwhelming power left everyone stunned. He advanced quickly to the top three. His most notable match was against a warrior named Hojin, famously known as the Dragonborn King—named for his dragon-like eyes and unbreakable will. But even he couldn't stand against WeiChen. The fight barely started before WeiChen defeated him.
Meanwhile, Hiroshi also made it to the top three. His Appraisal Skill, which allowed him to read opponents' strength and predict their moves, gave him a huge edge. For example, he fought someone named Jaison, whose level was 15—extremely powerful in this world where level 100 was godlike.
However, Hiroshi couldn't see his own level, meaning he had no idea how strong he truly was. Still, he continued to win by outthinking his opponents. Soon, he reached the top two, where he was set to fight a mysterious opponent known only as the Hellborne Prince.
When Hiroshi used his skill to scan him, he was shocked—Level 25.
The fight began, but Hiroshi couldn't predict his opponent's moves due to his erratic and unpredictable strategies. He realized, If this were a real sword fight, I would've died many times already. Just when it seemed Hiroshi was about to lose, the Hellborne Prince suddenly walked out of the fight, forfeiting. Hiroshi stood confused, not knowing why his opponent gave up.
Meanwhile, WeiChen faced a fighter named Jordon, known as The Howling Blade. He earned that name because he never showed mercy. Jordon kept pressing attack after attack. WeiChen could only defend and began to question how someone so powerful existed in the same region as him.
If he's this strong… what kind of monsters are waiting in other parts of the world?
He looked at his father—the Human King—who watched from above with hope in his eyes. Gathering resolve, WeiChen suddenly stepped back just as Jordon launched a final strike. Using that opening, WeiChen defeated him.
With these victories, both WeiChen and Hiroshi advanced to the next level of the tournament.
And now… their journey had truly begun.
