Chu Yi reached into the wooden box, and when he held the number plate up to his eyes, he barely glanced at it before exclaiming in surprise.
"Wow, I got a bye."
The number plate had the words "Fourteen" written on it.
The thirteen participants before him clearly had their matchups set, leaving Fourteen's turn vacant—meaning he could rest and chat without worry.
Situ Nan, who was behind Chu Yi, took another look in disbelief: "Is it really Fourteen?"
When he saw the bold, clear "Fourteen," he couldn't help but say enviously, "Man, you've really hit the jackpot this time."
Chu Yi grinned widely and laughed cheerfully.
"Haha, I'm heading down now, waiting for you guys to join me."
On the battle platform, participants handed their number plates to Wu Changqing, the overseer. Within two or three minutes, the matchups were announced.
The crowd buzzed with chatter.
Some were excited, others disappointed, and some worried…
