Most of the cultivators were shocked after hearing Jin Zhaohui's words. They didn't even get to see the lottery numbers in their hands. If the concept of the preliminary round is a battle royale, then more than half of the participants will be eliminated.
More than half of the participants had failed age checks and strength tests. If they fought in the preliminaries with a battle royal, the remaining cultivators in the competition would be no more than fifty.
"Please look at your lottery numbers. It will show in which battle arena you will fight. Participants will be divided into eight according to the number of battle arenas, and each will have four groups of thirteen people.
After that, the thirteen people will do a battle royale to determine the winner. Only one of the thirteen people could advance to the next round. So there will be four battle royales and four winners in each arena." Jin Zhaohui explained.
