Chapter 419: Banned

There was a short break for the judges to discuss their opinions.

Well, they said that, but it was mainly just Grandmaster Dongkuang and Grandmaster Xilong exchanging their thoughts while the Iron Fist Overlord sat by and listen.

There were more than a thousand submissions, and just the assessment of the inscriptions alone had taken hours to complete.

But among them, there were a few that obviously stood out from the rest.

Since the judges only had to select the top eight without having to rank them accordingly, it did not take too long for them to come to a consensus. After getting the nod from the Iron Fist Overlord, Grandmaster Dongkuang passed the finalised list over to Xuan Ziying.

"All right, I'm sure everyone is looking forward to this, so I shall not drag this out any further," Xuan Ziying announced. "Here are the participants who will proceed to the next round..."

The arena turned silent as everyone perked their ears up in anticipation.
