Bu Chengdu opened his voice again after the atmosphere in the Arena calmed down. He raised his hand towards the sky, "Welcome all participants to climb the Arena podium and stand behind the prepared Alchemy Furnace!"
Suddenly all the participants got up from the long bench and walked up the arena's stone steps towards the Alchemy Furnace, which had been divided by participant number.
Lin Chen looked at the wooden plates that had previously been handed out. One could see the number 232 written on it. Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly and then walked over to the Alchemy Furnace as he put the wooden plate into his pocket.
"The first round of Alchemy Match is the speed in refining pills, the quickest wins. In this first match, we will eliminate half the number of participants" Mrs. Chengdu explained the rules of the first-round Match as soon as all participants were in their respective positions.
