First Round

One of the elders of the sect walked up to the fighting arena and started giving a speech. The elder was going to be the main host of the competition and would thus be in charge of the battles today. 

Ning looked around and was quite surprised at how many disciples from both sects were ready to fight here today. 

'Can they even finish it all in a single day?' he wondered. However, he soon realized that there was going to be more than a single battle at a time. 

'Ah, so that's how they are going to speed up the competition huh?' he thought. 

Over 50 disciples from each sect were called up to the stage and made to pick up some pieces of paper with numbers on them. 

"The matches are going to be one on one battles where everyone that got the same number will fight against each other regardless of the sects you come from," the host said.
