"The final national rankings are determined by the number of matches won!"
"Each overall match victory earns one point!"
"Eight points at most, and at the very least... if you don't win a single match, you get zero!"
"You're all intelligent people. I trust that explanation makes things clear!"
Everyone nodded.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Zhenyu continued, "The final national rankings are based on the number of victories. If two nations have the same number, their head-to-head result determines their ranking!"
"And these rankings are the sole basis for how the Nine Kingdoms ultimately divide the Greed and Anger Fruit!"
"Based on past experience, there will be thirty-six thousand Greed and Anger Fruits in total!"
"The nation ranked first receives one-sixth of them, or six thousand fruits!"
"The nation ranked second receives five hundred fewer, or five thousand five hundred!"
"And so on for third, fourth, fifth... each place lower receives five hundred fewer Greed and Anger Fruits than the one above it. By ninth and last place, there are only two thousand!"
"I hardly need to tell you how great that difference is!"
Everyone nodded.
Five hundred fruits between adjacent places might not seem like much, but first place received a full three times as many as last place.
These were Greed and Anger Fruits!
One Greed and Anger Fruit meant one Golden Core Stage cultivator breaking through a bottleneck.
Two thousand fruits meant two thousand Golden Core cultivators.
Even if eighty percent of those Golden Core cultivators who broke through their bottlenecks suffered Wisdom Severance, four hundred could still enter the Nascent Soul Realm.
Four hundred Nascent Soul cultivators in a century.
And that was only the number for ninth place.
First place could produce over a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators in a century.
