Lord of the Sky City

```

On February 8th, the Arena was overflowing with people. Countless individuals had arrived early to witness the grandeur of the new generation of Armor with their own eyes.

In such a situation, lines had formed early outside the Arena, with even prominent figures of the City Lord's stature queuing up. But this was still manageable, as it at least meant those City Lords had secured their tickets in advance. As for those unlucky enough not to have purchased their tickets for this match in advance, they were out of luck.

Such a sensational event naturally attracted scores of scalpers, who drove the prices of already expensive tickets through the roof. A ticket for a standard seat cost at least one thousand Gold Coins, and for a prime seat in the front rows, one wouldn't be able to get their hands on one without forking out at least five thousand Gold Coins.

The fiery scene greatly exceeded Rocky's expectations because he hadn't planned on attending this match and thus hadn't prepared in advance. As a result, when they arrived at the Arena with great fanfare, they were taken aback.

Fortunately, though Rocky hadn't prepared, Aniye had done so well in advance. Upon their arrival at the Arena, Aniye promptly led Rocky and the others through the VIP passage directly to the VIP box.

"Master, did you reserve this in advance?"

Having followed Aniye to the VIP box, Rocky asked somewhat sheepishly, as such arrangements should have been his responsibility.

Aniye, however, smiled and waved her hand, "It wasn't me who booked this, but the Sigma Corporation who invited me to watch the match. They arranged everything."

With a smile, Aniye's casually delivered response left Rocky stunned for a moment before he nodded and couldn't help but give a mental thumbs up. Aniye, as a master in the academic field, enjoyed a unique status; even the Sigma Corporation had personally requested her presence at such an important event, a privilege not extended to just anyone.

The VIP box at the Arena was spacious, with one box able to comfortably seat over a dozen people. The box featured floor-to-ceiling windows facing the field, granting an unobstructed view of the entire match. Additionally, the box was well-equipped with various amenities, including a mini bar stocked with beverages and more.

To watch the match from such a box was naturally a pleasure; hence, even though there was some time to go before the start, Rocky and the others chatted leisurely as they awaited the beginning of the match without feeling bored.

Meanwhile, not long after they had taken their places in the box, other VIPs who had come to watch the match arrived one after another.

Representatives from the Sky Alliance arrived, followed by delegates from the Magic Energy Research Institute, and then the Kafka Empire's envoys. The Three Great Alliances had all sent representatives for the match, each one a powerful figure within their Alliance.

Beyond the Three Great Alliances, the War Alliance, the Illuminati, the Racial Alliance, the Counterattack Alliance, and other major forces with resounding names in the skies had also sent their representatives.

In addition, the Kenny Family, the Huluo Family, the Wilby Family, the Mairente Family, the royal Elf households, and other significant families were all present.

The various Chambers of Commerce, as well as the powerful lords of large Sky Cities who were not part of the Alliances or families, had also arrived.

It was hard to imagine a single Arena match gathering so many influential figures together, but this was precisely the allure of the Void Magic Armor. As the most powerful individual weapon of the present day, the release of each new generation of Void Magic Armor captured the attention of the world, as it was a matter that concerned everyone and could even alter the landscape of the skies. Unless one's status was insufficient, it was an event that demanded attention.

Time flew by, and to Rocky and the others in the box, it felt like no time at all before 10 o'clock approached. As the commencement of the match drew near, they stopped their chit-chat and collectively moved to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out onto the field.

This important match was naturally scheduled for the main field of the Arena. The Arena was divided into nine fields, with eight being secondary fields accommodating no more than ten thousand spectators each. The primary field, capable of hosting a full fifty thousand people, was now completely filled as Rocky looked out the window and saw that there were no empty seats to be seen.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

As the time for the match drew near, the commentator picked up the microphone and addressed all the spectators, "Welcome everyone, to today's match!"

Following this remark, the Arena erupted with a roar like a tidal wave of cheers, not because of what the commentator had said, but because it signified the imminent start of the match.

Amidst this overwhelming roar, the commentator continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know why you are so enthusiastic. I too am excited just like you."

"Today's match is highly anticipated because we will witness the debut of the brand-new generation of Void Magic Armor! This will be a proud moment for each of us! And this glory, along with this match, will be recorded in history!"

The commentator's stirring words triggered another explosive round of applause.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you do not wish to hear any more of my ramblings, so... let's welcome the competitors to the stage!"
