Li Yang's rank was still 10th, with no change.
For geniuses like them, who could have taken first place in the previous Human Race Eternal Saint Hall selection, the melee was a mere formality.
"Just have to keep waiting."
The second stage's melee wasn't over yet.
Li Yang then waited for the others to be eliminated, just as the others had done during the ranking competition.
Time seemed to pass even faster as geniuses appeared one after another in the vast area.
'I... I was eliminated? What's my rank?'
'I was ranked somewhere past 2,900 in the ranking competition. I won't drop out of the top 3,000 in this stage, will I?'
The first thing each genius did upon appearing was to hastily check their own rank.
The ranking competition and the melee determined the three thousand who would be invited to join the Human Race's Eternal Saint Hall. Anyone outside the top three thousand couldn't get in and could only return home.
