Group One produced exactly ten advancing participants.
Not everyone had managed to collect ten identity badges. A considerable number had withdrawn midway through the battles, preferring elimination to death. Others had been killed before they could surrender, and their badges had passed into the hands of the victors.
When the final quota was filled, the voice of the will of the universe sounded beside every participant's ears.
[Ding! The ten advancing participants of Group One have been confirmed.]
[Congratulations to John, a human powerhouse representing the Skyvault Consortium, for obtaining advancement qualification.]
[Congratulations to Soren of Evernight Palace for obtaining advancement qualification.]
[Congratulations to the wandering cultivator Lyric for obtaining advancement qualification.]
[Congratulations...]
The announcement was broadcast throughout the entire tournament. Every remaining participant heard the names at the same time.
