Oriont then left Lily to prepare herself for the upcoming battles. Orion made his way toward the seating area designated for the audience. The arena was teeming with people from all walks of life, eagerly anticipating the commencement of the tournament.

As he found his seat among the spectators, Orion's eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the vibrant atmosphere. The stands were a tapestry of colors and banners, each representing different sects and factions.

Orion couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. He was not merely a bystander in this event; he was invested in the outcome. The participants' destinies would intertwine with his own, shaping the path ahead.

Sitting among the crowd, he found himself surrounded by fervent discussions and whispered speculations about the upcoming matches.

Some analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of notable participants, while others debated the potential alliances and rivalries that might arise.

Orion listened intently, absorbing the insights shared by the experienced observers. Their words painted a vivid picture of the talent and tenacity that would grace the arena.

As he soaked in the atmosphere, Orion's gaze occasionally drifted towards the entrance, where Lily had disappeared moments ago. 

He couldn't help but wonder about her chances in the tournament. Just then, Stella's voice appeared in his mind, breaking through his thoughts.

"What do you think about the tournament?" Stella's voice echoed within him.

Orion smiled inwardly, appreciating the telepathic connection he shared with Stella. "I don't know much about it," he replied mentally, "but I have no doubt that Lily will emerge victorious."

Stella's voice resonated with confidence. "Of course, the majority of participants are at the Warrior Realm or Lord Realm at the highest. But Lily, being in the King Realm, will have a significant advantage. It's almost like overkill."

Orion chuckled softly at Stella's assessment. Her unwavering support and belief in Lily mirrored his own. He couldn't deny the truth in her words. Lily's exceptional skills, combined with her advanced cultivation level, set her apart from the other contestants.
