Lu Xiao hadn't even reached his own shed when the second match on the platform had already begun.
The whole competition still ended promptly at five, with no overtime.
Lu Xiao and Sol's fight, with all its messy durations before and after, took about forty minutes, while the subsequent fifteen matches between Third-stage Mutants took a total of one hour.
That is to say, the average duration for the latter fifteen matches was four minutes each.
Even so, right after the competition ended, the organizers announced a new rule for the tournament: from now on, each match in the group and knockout stages would be limited to ten minutes. Any match exceeding ten minutes would be treated as a knockout.
"Behind every absurd regulation, there is an even more ridiculous story," Chen Fei said teasingly, watching the new rule appear on the TV screen inside the shed.
Lu Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes—people at the Superpower Alliance were somewhat odd.
