The other 63 battles were conducted accordingly, and very soon, the 64 candidates that would progress to the next stage all emerged.
And among these results, a considerable number of them were unexpected.
Take Zhang Yuan, ranked 17th on the recent leaderboard, as an example. He had lost to a man who had been given a special additional participation spot—Tu Shi. And there was also Chang Tian, ranked 31st on the recent leaderboard; he had also lost to a person who was not very well-known, and whose name was Zhu Yan.
And there was also Zhu Bao, ranked 39th, who had lost to Qi Changjun.
Every time an unexpected result emerged, it would cause incredible shock.
