The sparring ground for the pairs category was much bigger than that for the individual category.
The Star Luo Coliseum was large enough to hold fifteen matches simultaneously.
Hence, the groups were called in fifteen pairs when they were drawing their ballots. The rest of the groups divided through the ballots were then displayed on the soul screen.
The first thing that each group did upon arriving was to check the screen for their own group's position and which opponents they would be facing.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's group was Number One Hundred and Sixteen. The other three Shrek Academy pairs were given the numbers from one hundred and seventeen to one hundred and nineteen. Their four pairs were numbered consecutively, so it was quite unlikely that they would be facing their own companions. Clearly, this was the special care taken by the Star Luo Empire's government.
