Only 2,680 people participated in the second round of the elimination tournament, exactly half the number from yesterday. After leaving the casino, Zhaang Ye had only watched a dozen or so matches before the second round was declared over.
The Sect's Seventh Elder, Jin Zhongyu, flew into the air and slowly announced, "Very good! The second round of the elimination tournament has concluded. A total of 2,680 people participated, and 1,340 have been eliminated. Now, 1,340 people will advance to the third round. Disciples who have made it this far, I will give you one hour to rest and recover. After that hour, the third round will begin, and we will once again eliminate half of the contestants!"
With 1,340 contestants, eliminating half meant another 670 would be cut. Faced with such a brutal tournament, no one dared to be careless. The disciples all closed their eyes to meditate and recover their strength.
「One hour later」
