After resting for a while, Su Xiao recovered some of his energy. This was one of the benefits of fighting in the Arena. Even if he was completely exhausted, he could recover in a short time. Otherwise, after fighting Huang Fen, Su Xiao would have had no energy to continue battling Mad Fox.

To possess the title completely, one had to successfully advance to the fourth tier while remaining in first place in
