The festival officially kicked off with the Obstacle Relay Challenge and Pot-Smashing Flower Capture taking place simultaneously, bringing a vibrant atmosphere. While the Obstacle Relay Challenge emphasized smooth coordination, the Pot-Smashing Flower Capture was full of drama as each team had to both attack and protect their own "flower." The moments of hitting the target made the whole field erupt, creating a sense of suspense and tension in every single moment.
