After that, they went to watch another two matches.
One was a clash between the Elemental side and the Mystery side; the other was a bloody battle between Bloodline-side competitors. Both matches were evenly matched, and in terms of spectacle, they were clearly far superior to the previous few.
Leon also gained some experience in battles between transcendents from these two matches. In particular, the internal conflict between Bloodline-side fighters benefited him greatly.

The Infinite Battle Tower was actually within the Sky Tower as well, located on its sixteenth floor. When they arrived, they saw Glen—the chuuni youth decked from
