Dang!
A melodious bell rang out, and the noisy voices instantly quieted down. Lan Yingfei stepped onto the Martial Arts Arena, glanced at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice, "This afternoon is the first group's matches. After the first group finishes, the second group will continue. The matches will officially start shortly."
Round-robin matches in groups, two people per match. The matches within the group are arranged by the academy; there's no need for them to draw lots, and even the match order is already set.
The first group has ten people, five matches; the second group also has ten people, five matches. This afternoon, there will be ten matches. Each match must not exceed the time of two incense sticks; if there's no winner after this duration, it will be judged as a draw.
Soon, the opponents and schedule for the matches were announced. These arrangements were made by the academy after careful and prudent comparison.
