Huo Qiudao sat in the chair, lost in thought.

What happened after that had nothing to do with him.

Xuan Li quickly took out the numbers that had been prepared in advance and let each of the contestants draw one.

Starting from the first number, those with similar numbers are automatically grouped together.

For example, numbers one and two are grouped together, numbers three and four are grouped together, and so on.

If someone is lucky enough to draw number 59, then they get a bye.

Yi Tian estimated that if Huanhuan hadn't just used up her luck, this empty spot should have been given to him.

Pity.

He drew number 33 and fought against number 34.

"Mu Yan, what number did you draw?"

Yi Tian was curious.

Then they saw Mu Yan take out a plaque with the number 59.

Yi Tian: ......

Holy crap!

Who would have thought that Mu Yan was actually a hidden lucky charm?

Mu Yan pushed up his glasses.

"Stay calm, stay calm."

"This is only the first round. Even if I get in through a bye, I still won't be able to get a spot in the end."

After the first round, there will be thirty people left. No matter what rules are drawn, there will be no chance of being left out again.

Mu Yan was quite aware of his own strength.

No matter who his opponent is, he is bound to lose!

Moreover, he has already made plans; he will concede defeat as soon as he takes the stage in the second round.

To avoid Sun Bao messing with him.

Yi Tian nodded.

"That's true."

At that moment, on the other side of the conference room, Sun Bao was being scolded by Xuan Li.

"asshole!"

"Is this how you do things?"

Sun Bao felt even more aggrieved than Xia, but dared not say a word.

The only saving grace was that the explosion of the box did not anger Huo Qiudao, otherwise things would have been truly troublesome.

At this moment, a woman in uniform walked up to Xuan Li with a list in her hand.

"Sir, this is the complete group assignment for the first round of selection."

Xuan Li took it, and Sun Bao couldn't help but glance at the paper as well.

They quickly found Yi Tian's ID number and who his opponent was.

But when he saw the name, Sun Bao couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!" and then looked at Xuan Li.

"Did you arrange this?"

Xuanli said.

"Do you think I would dare to do anything underhanded in front of Huo Qiudao?"

"That's just bad luck for Yi Tian."

In fact, long before the selection process began, after the list was confirmed, everyone had a general idea of ​​who would make it to the final list.

Xuanmi was one of Yi Tian's opponents in the first round.

He was the most outstanding of Xuan Li's many sons.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, his potential was close to that of a prodigy; now, he is at the third stage of the Path Seeking Realm.

In fact, there is a high probability that Genmi will be the only one to enter the inner courtyard.

Sun Bao looked at Xuan Li.

"Brother Li, remember to give Xiaomi some instructions."

After saying that, he raised his hand and made a cutting gesture towards his own throat.

Xuan Li nodded, a shadow appearing in his eyes.

"Okay, got it."

The list has been published, and the arena competition will begin in one hour at the special arena on the 60th floor of Xiaobai Building.

Xuan Li led the board members to Huo Qiu Dao.

"Master Huo, there's still some time before the arena battle begins. Would you like to rest in the lounge for a while?"

"We have prepared some spiritual fruits and fine wine for you inside."

Huo Qiudao waved his hand impatiently.

"No need, I'll just meditate here for a while, please don't disturb me."

"Yes."

As everyone left, a sense of regret lingered in their eyes.

On the other side, Wang Xiaobai was looking at Yi Tian with a worried expression.

"Mr. Yi, you really have bad luck."

Yi Tian laughed.

Do you think I'll lose to Genmi?

Wang Xiaobai said.

"Please don't be angry if I tell you the truth."

"If we're at the same level, then you certainly won't lose."

"But, isn't that person two levels above you?"

"If you ask me, just to be safe, you should just admit defeat."

Yi Tian had no concept of the Dao.

"Give it a try. If I can't beat you, I'll admit defeat immediately."

Wang Xiaobai tried to persuade him for a while, but to no avail, so he had to give up.

An hour passed quickly.

Yi Tian and the others arrived on the sixtieth floor, and the rest of the people also arrived.

Huo Qiudao sat on a chair not far from the arena, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet.

If someone tries to talk to him, he just gives a perfunctory reply with a word or two, like "uh-huh" or "yeah".

Yi Tian finally understood.

For Huo Qiudao, this trip to the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce was simply to fulfill a mission he didn't want to attend.

He had no interest in making friends with other people.

Perhaps it's because she's naturally aloof, or perhaps she looks down on the people in the Chamber of Commerce.

Xuan Li originally wanted Huo Qiudao to say a few words before starting the battle, but Huo Qiudao refused outright.

And so, the tournament began directly.

Xuan Li personally served as the referee and was also responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the proceedings.

"Number one, number two, come up and get ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, two beast tamers stepped onto the arena. After confirming that they were both ready, the battle began.

While watching the match, Yi Tian also spotted his opponent under Wang Xiaobai's finger.

Genmi is a young man who looks very refined.

He was chatting and laughing with other people.

He seemed to notice Yi Tian's gaze and glanced back at him.

His eyes were quite gentle and harmless.

This reminded Yi Tian of a saying: "A dog that bites doesn't bark."

Soon, it was Yi Tian's turn.

"I'm going."

Yi Tian said something to the two people behind him, and then went to the arena. Xuan Mi did the same.

When the two stood still, the atmosphere in the audience seemed to freeze.

The other contestants were all familiar with each other to some extent, but Yi Tian and Mu Yan were new faces.

Naturally, this attracted a lot of attention.

Moreover, everyone knows more or less that he is the source of Wang Xiaobai's recent troubles.

Sun Bao narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

The other directors also had their own expressions.

Wang Xiaobai still looked worried, but he noticed that Mu Yan was quite calm, which made him a little curious.

"Aren't you worried about Yi Tian? His opponent is two levels higher than him."

Mu Yan shrugged and patted Wang Xiaobai on the shoulder.

"You'll naturally understand some things once you spend more time with Yi Tian."

Wang Xiaobai was completely bewildered.

What does that mean? It's all so vague and nonsensical.

According to the Xiaobai Merchant Guild's established rules, in one-on-one situations, the number of beasts each person contracts may vary.

Especially after a Beast Tamer breaks through to the Seeking Dao stage, the number of beasts they can contract is not fixed, but depends on the Beast Tamer's own capacity.

Some with strong endurance can contract two beasts per level, while some with weak endurance can't even contract one.

Therefore, it was stipulated that each person was only allowed to send out three beasts.

This was just right for Yi Tian, ​​as he only had three Dao-Seeking Rank Beasts in total.
