"To ensure fairness and accurate rankings for everyone, the Advancement Round will be held as arena battles."
"Each of you must fight the other ninety-nine contestants in turn!"
"The order of battle will be decided by drawing lots!"
"As usual, each of you may conjure three weapons."
King Zhenyan's cold voice, edged with authority, carried in every direction.
Inside the Two Realms Heavenly Dao Diagram, everyone nodded slightly upon hearing the rules King Zhenyan announced.
The rules were much as everyone had expected, and the same as in previous Azure Flame Grand Tournaments.
The Advancement Round would be fought in the arenas!
Each contestant would fight the other ninety-nine, with rankings based on the number of victories. Their final placements would be determined the same way.
Even so, many could not help feeling excited and nervous.
After all...
They had already secured the right to join the Azure Flame Sect.
But...
"Your rewards will differ according to your rankings!"
King Zhenyan's voice rang out again. "First place will receive a Chaos Cultivation Technique! You may not understand what that means, but this technique is enough to change a person's entire life!"
"Not everyone has the chance to train in the Heavenly Ruins. If you miss this opportunity, getting another chance to train there will be harder than climbing to the heavens!"
King Zhenyan continued coldly, "Even the bottom ninety, though they will only be Preparatory Disciples, will receive different rewards according to their rankings! The reward for eleventh place is a hundred times that for hundredth!"
"The greater the reward, the more it will help you train in the Azure Flame Sect, and the better your chances of advancing to the Outer Gate in the future!"
"You have only one chance. Make the most of it!"
His voice fell silent.
