Just as Severin was trying to figure out the use of the numbers on the token in his hand, the nine peak masters came to Oskar. One after another, they began explaining the rules of the tournament.”

You can gain points by defeating the opponent and advance to the next round. Furthermore…”

Severin understood the rules after Oskar’s explanation. Each token in their hands was equivalent to a point! The basic principle of the game was simple-snatch the tokens from the opponent’s hand to increase one’s own points. Those with the most points would then face opponents with similar points after advancing to the next stage.

At the same time, all contestants were allowed to use their trump cards, such as spiritual treasures, pills, spells, and various divine techniques in the arena. Only one restriction was imposed, and that was not to kill one’s opponent.

Those who were at risk of death could silently chant ‘I concede’

while grasping the token tightly. They would then be escorted out of the arena. After all the rules had been explained, Oskar officially announced that the tournament had begun.

The names of two thousand contestants were called and allowed to enter the arenas to compete. Most of the disciples were level two or level three supreme saints, and thus evenly matched. Severin glanced briefly at the matches and opted to meditate. After some time, the winners across countless arenas were decided, and the second round of the tournament soon began.
