In reality, the first round, the ranking battle, would largely determine which geniuses were selected. The second round of combat was mainly for those who were further behind in the rankings.
For example, for those ranked around three thousandth place, you couldn't say the 3,000th-ranked genius was much stronger than the 3,001st. The difference in their strength was minuscule.
In that situation, if the 3,001st-ranked genius performed exceptionally well in the combat battle, they could absolutely knock the 3,000th-ranked genius out of their spot.
Even geniuses ranked past four thousand could soar through the ranks if they performed well enough in the combat battle.
Talented individuals with a low probability of perishing on their path to power—those were the geniuses the Human Race's Eternal Saint Hall wanted to cultivate.
The crowd of geniuses listened intently, and the eyes of some with lower rankings lit up.
"So those are the rules."
