Ling Menglu shook her head, saying, "No, it's all individual matches. The Great Impartation Contest is about individual strength. So, you have to work hard and not be eliminated too early."
As she spoke, she looked at Long Dangdang, saying, "The rules for the finals have been set. Thirty-six contestants will be randomly divided into four groups of nine through a draw.

One thing is for sure - the champion will be rewarded with a Divine Artifact."
