"Now, without further ado, let's start the tournament! For the first phase, participants other than those in the beginner stage, please stand a kilometre away from the beginner stage participants. As for the beginner stage, please stay where you are," Orlav said as he floated higher so he could clearly see all of the participants.
The participants then dispersed as instructed, leaving the thousands of beginner stage cultivators in the center. As expected by many, almost all of the beginner stage participants were still in their teens, with most at the peak of the beginner stage. Only a few were older than twenty, while some appeared to be much younger than fourteen.
There were also those who appeared confident even though they were still only at high beginner stage. The spectators knew most of them were descendants of noble families. Trained from a young age, they were considered geniuses because they could battle across levels.
Once the stage was ready, Orlav spoke again.
