After a few battles, a large number of people immediately chose to withdraw from the competition.
This was too cruel. It was either life or death, which made a great many young sprouts that had grown up in protective environments completely unable to bear it. However, once they withdrew from the tournament, they would no longer be able to participate in the tournament inside the Arena of Death.
Thankfully, everyone was presently in teams, and as long as one person in the team managed to pass, the whole team would be able to obtain the entry permit. Thus, there was still hope for these people who had withdrawn from the competition.
The majority of the teams chose to wait. After all, there were too many elites presently, and if they forced themselves, they would only die young.
The result was that there was a serious shortage in the number of participants.
