The competition started quickly, and after meticulous selection, 40 new challengers had emerged. These 40 would undergo further screening to select the strongest five to challenge individuals on the Dragon List or the Dragon Elephant List, while those already on the Dragon Elephant List could directly challenge the person ranked above them or choose to fight someone of a higher rank.
The one at the top of the Elephant List could directly challenge people on the Dragon List, but they had to fight their way up without skipping ranks. Those on the Dragon List could choose to defend or challenge, but most opted to challenge since those on the Dragon List were the real backbone of fighters, too proud to simply play defense.
Watching the 40 competitors attacking each other bored Song Yun; the style of this competition was hardly a duel between masters. Typically, a match between experts was decided in an instant, not after lengthy probing like what these fighters were doing.
