The components of the showdown were first, the taming of the beasts. In this round, the participants would be choosing a beast available in the arena and tame it. The beasts' cultivations were only at the first stage of the Immortal Realm, with no exceptions, to ensure the fairness of the game. The tamers could do anything to tame their chosen beast. Whether they wanted to use pills to enchant them, or either beat them into a pulp. However, as the proud Immortal Beasts, perhaps even if you beat them to death, they would not be tamed.
Second, those who tamed a beast would advance to the second round with their tamed beast, the actual showdown! Here, the beasts would fight it out against another beast in a free-for-all match. The meaning was that those who succeeded will fight each other in the arena and the last man standing would be the victor! Of course, that included the Zaoyu Tamer Guild's participant.
