The prodigy competition began as scheduled.
The rules were straightforward: aside from the age limit, there were no restrictions. Participants only needed to register, submit their information, and then draw lots to determine their opponents.
Winners would proceed to the next round, drawing lots for their next match.
Losers would be eliminated, though there was a chance for revival if they wished to challenge again.
During the battles, there were virtually no limitations—participants could even bring weapons to the arena.
Many found these rules unfair.
After all, some competitors had access to divine artifacts.
Those without such resources began scrambling to purchase or rent powerful artifacts.
However, those who owned divine artifacts weren't necessarily willing to loan them out.
While some voiced dissatisfaction with the fairness of the rules, others argued that family background and resources were part of one's strength.
