"Since everyone is here, the Outer Sect Competition will now officially begin!"
Zong Rui slowly rose to his feet. His gaze swept over the dense sea of Outer Sect Disciples before the Earth Martial Hall as he announced coolly, "A total of eighty-nine thousand disciples are participating in this Outer Sect Competition. The top one thousand will all receive generous rewards, and the prize for first place is especially unprecedented. You must all give it your best. Next, you will be assigned to one hundred arenas based on your Identity Tokens. The top ten from each arena will advance to the next round. The Third Elder will now take charge of this competition!"
"Your Highness Prince Gong, there's nothing much to see in these elimination rounds," Zong Rui said to Prince Gong, his eyes crinkling into a smile. "I recently came into possession of some fine Jade Dragon Beard Tea. Would Your Highness be interested in sampling it? We can return for the top one hundred matches."
