Challenge Land, Crimson Giant Tower waiting area.
The lords continued watching the point of light at the bottom of the giant tower, occasionally glancing toward the gate and wondering when that young figure would appear.
As they waited, their voices gradually fell quiet. They no longer chatted with the attitude of spectators enjoying the show. Instead, they stared straight at the point of light, their expressions slowly filling with astonishment.
"The newcomer seems to have been inside for quite a while, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, more than ten minutes."
It wasn't that newcomers entering Challenge Land had never lasted this long. But when that newcomer was paired with such an excessively young face, it was surprising—even astonishing.
The several big brothers who had bet on 100 seconds, 300 seconds, and 500 seconds lost everything they had.
But no one cared about that at the moment. They only cared how long this newcomer could last, or perhaps...
Thud!
At the bottom of the Crimson Giant Tower, the point of light suddenly brightened. It shot upward like a rocket ascending into the heavens, advancing to the second floor, where it flickered and flashed, making its presence known.
He had really made it through!
The newcomer had made it through!
"Holy crap, that's awesome!"
"When I entered Challenge Land, I was already thirty-two years old. It was my sixth year as a lord, and even then, I failed the first stage three times before barely making it through."
"Compared to this young man, the younger generation really is surpassing the older."
"When this newcomer comes out later, I have to get in touch with him and exchange contact information or something."
"Yeah, it won't be long. He'll probably be out soon. After all, the second stage is much harder to endure than the first."
