As Ling Yunpo triumphed over Xu Yinglian, the first to third places in the White Jade Capital Grand Tournament would be decided among Qiu Changtian, An Zhisu, and Ling Yunpo.
However, the method of deciding the placement was not by pairs fighting each other, but by drawing lots… with two of them competing against each other, while the third would have a bye.
After the competition, the winner would then compete against the one who had a bye. If the winner is victorious again, then they will be ranked first, and the one with the bye and the previous round's loser will compete to determine their rankings.
If the one with the bye wins, then they will be ranked first, the winner of the previous round second, and the loser third.
This competition rule, without a doubt, gave the biggest advantage to the individual with the bye.
Firstly, they could rest and recuperate, having more time to adjust their condition, while the remaining two had to fight an extra match.
