Both the matches in the first round were already over. A short while later, the crowd began to leave the arena. After recuperating for three days, Nan Xia Country, Dong Xing Country, and last year's champion, Shang Yuan Country, would go through the second round of drawing lots. Whoever was lucky would get to draw a bye and proceeddirectly to the finals.
No one knew who would be lucky enough to draw a bye, and who would be competing with Shang Yuan Country in the next match. Everyone was full of excitement as they discussed the possibilities.
The results for both matches today were far beyond the people's expectations. Nan Xia Country had gained victory through a torturous match and became the greatest dark horse of the competition, while Dong Xing Country had easily defeated their rival with a perfect win. They had showed extraordinary cultivation. Who would be the champion in the end? Even the seasoned spectators who had seen a lifetime of competitions could not guess.
