Cheng Tian was in no hurry to leave after his battle. He had nothing urgent to do anyway, and he wanted to stay and watch the others' matches.
The challengers who came to the Gym were extremely strong-or rather, few of them were Reserve Team members. Even those had demonstrated considerable strength, at least far beyond Cheng Tian's level.

"A Gym Badge? You mean this?" Cheng Tian pointed at the Sakura Badge pinned to his
