"What does this mean?"
"In the combat strength contest, only the top three get points?"
"These rules aren't fair!"
After seeing this rule, the people in the square broke into discussion.
"And sixteen groups?" Luo Bingyao said. "How are they dividing us up? Didn't someone just say the groups had already been decided? Let's go take a look!"
"Impossible!" He Pingsheng shook his head. "These earlier rounds aren't even over yet. Do you know who'll be eliminated and who'll advance? How could they divide people into groups without knowing that?"
"Impossible!"
"So let's go exchange our tokens first!"
He Pingsheng and the other two entered the Great Hall beside them and exchanged their tokens for those of the third round.
The third round measured strength and was also called the strength test.
The rules of the strength test were simple: contestants struck a formation capable of quantifying strength with all their might.
Then the precise numerical value of that strength would be displayed.
"Everyone, please enter the grand array!"
When the time came, the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal elder responsible for maintaining order in this round shouted, and the enormous formation over the square opened once again.
This time, the formation was exactly the same as before!
Everyone filed inside.
Of course, there was another small formation at the entrance, which checked whether contestants had taken pills or used Immortal Talismans that enhanced their strength.
Anyone detected would immediately lose their qualification to compete.
Having learned their lesson from the previous Divine Sense test, almost no one was caught this time.
It seemed everyone had become much better behaved.
"You're all right, aren't you?" He Pingsheng looked at his disciple Luo Bingyao with some concern.
Luo Bingyao shook her head, her intricate little braids swinging around like a pellet drum.
