Voting

After Luo Jun left the arena, another match was held that afternoon, bringing the day's schedule to a close.

It was not because there was not enough time, but because Mother Andariel's Immortality Blessing could only be used in actual combat twelve times a day, enough for exactly six matches. Over the following days, the competition proceeded steadily at a pace of six matches per day. Although the wide gaps between contestants made the first round uneven in quality, they were, after all, the finest selected from around the world. Even the weakest far surpassed the limits of Ordinary Cultivators. Every match sparked considerable discussion, and the livestream viewers benefited greatly.

At the same time, predictions on major forums regarding the champion and rankings never ceased. Some people even secretly opened offline betting pools. For a time, Cultivators across the world had their eyes fixed on this grand event.

As for forums within Zhendan, even the Yuan Cultivation Society's official forum created a pinned voting thread. It posted the information and records of all sixty-four contestants, allowing everyone to vote for the contestant they supported. Each person could cast only one vote. Once a contestant was eliminated, their name would turn gray and their votes would be cleared. Those who had voted for them would get their vote back and could choose another contestant still in the competition in the next round.

As a result, vote counts and percentages changed every day. To encourage users to vote, the officials also introduced a reward system.

First, based on the available information, the forum assigned every contestant a score. The stronger the contestant, the lower the score. Ling Yao, for example, received the lowest score of one point and was the only one-point contestant in the entire field.

Peak-level contestants like Zhuge
