As he faced this situation, the referee just stood there with a bitter smile on his face as he didn't know what to do.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that this wasn't something that he was qualified to judge.
He went out of the arena and went over to the panel of judges that had been prepared for situations like this. This group was made up of special judges who had come up with the rules of this tournament, so the referee would leave it in their hands.
However, when those judges heard what the situation was from the referee, they couldn't help looking down at the arena with bitter smiles as well.
This was one scenario that they had never prepared for, so they didn't know what to do either.
But they were the judges that had been chosen for this panel, so it wasn't as if they could just ignore this situation.
These judges came together and started debating over a solution for the problem in front of them.
As they debated this, there was a lot of arguing and shouting that came over these judges. It was clear that they had opposing opinions about how to come to a solution to this problem.
In the end, it took them over fifteen minutes before reaching a solution.
During this time, both Young Master Tai and Young Master He laid there in the walls without moving.
It was as if everyone had completely forgotten about them as they paid attention to what the judges' deliberation was.
After reaching a conclusion, the judges sent the referee back into the stage.
When the referee landed, he said, "We will now give both contestants ten minutes. The first contestant to wake up and declare themselves the winner will be the winner."
As soon as his voice fell, everyone turned their attention to the two young masters who were stuck in the wall. Everyone started waiting with bated breath, waiting for either of them to make a move.
The referee had been confident that someone would be able to wake up in ten minutes after hearing the judges' deliberation, but now he wasn't so sure as he remembered that they had already been laying there for fifteen minutes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the end, the referee was disappointed by these two young masters as neither of them came to and continued laying there in the wall.
In the end, the referee had no choice but to declare that there wasn't a winner and that both of them were eliminated.
The crowd was abuzz with chatter after this since no one had expected that both of these young masters would be eliminated.
Just like this, the three who everyone had thought would have the greatest chance of winning this tournament had all been eliminated.
All over the crowd, there were many people who ripped up pieces of paper and threw them onto the ground. There were many people who were filled with despair and rage, but they could only vent by stomping the ground.
These people had believed in the speculations that these two had the greatest chances of winning this tournament, so they had made bets on these two to win.
Now that both of them had been eliminated, they had naturally lost all of their money.
So the only thing that they could do was vent their anger as no one dared to blame these young masters.
It had been the same when Mo Tie had been eliminated yesterday.
After the battle was over, the staff carefully moved both young masters out of the arena on stretchers. The medical staff that had been prepared were already making preparations to take care of these two young masters.
Since they came from powerful sects, if they weren't properly cared for after the fight, the organizers would be blamed. So no one dared to take the injuries of these young masters lightly and focused on treating them.
After these young masters were taken away, the staff that were in charge of fixing the arena came out.
When they saw the two holes in the walls, they could only reveal bitter smiles before heading over to patch them up.
It seemed like this was their only job these days…
Still, they were very skilled and they were used to doing this, so it took them almost no time to finish repairing the arena.
Once it was repaired, the host came up once again and called up the rest of the contestants that had made it through. Today was the next round and they had only done the fight between the two young masters before everything so they could have everyone for the next round.
After bringing everyone up, the host had them participate in a drawing.
One would think that there would already be matchups decided, but it turned out that they were planning on drawing matchups with each round so that people couldn't prepare for a single opponent. That way, it would make it more fair for everyone.
Though for the seeded contestants, they already had an idea of the powers of each of their opponents since there were only so many of them in this circle.
The most important thing for this drawing was to see who would draw the bye.
Since both Young Master Tai and Young Master had been eliminated, that meant that there was an odd number of contestants going into this next round.
They naturally couldn't have this odd number of contestants, so to balance it out, they had to offer a bye for one of these contestants.
That was what most of these contestants were looking for in the first place.
This was an important tournament for them, so if they were able to make it to the next round without wasting energy on a fight, it was the best thing.
All of them were looking forward to getting the bye and making it to the next round without doing a thing.
The drawing started with the only normal contestant who was left in the competition.
Of course, as the first one to draw, they had the worst chances of getting the bye. As expected, they weren't able to get the bye and instead drew the ball with the big "1" on it.
Seeing this, that person couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
Drawing this number naturally meant that they would be the first one to fight.
If they drew any other number, they could at least act like they were a part of the top sixteen a bit longer…but drawing this number meant that they would be kicked out first.
After all, there was no hope of them beating any of the seeded contestants.
The second one to draw also didn't get it. The third one also missed that bye.
They would have wanted to wait longer to reduce the chances, but they didn't have a choice in this matter as they were called up by the staff members.
As more and more people missed the bye, the ones that still hadn't drawn yet revealed wide smiles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey knew that the longer they waited, the greater their chances were.
With each person that drew and missed it, it would mean that they would have a greater chance of drawing that bye.
But of course, there was also a downside to drawing later than the rest.
The later that one drew, the more likely it was that someone ahead of them would draw the bye before it would come to be their turn. So being last was also a very bad position since it was very likely that someone would draw it first.
They didn't know what order the drawing was, they just had to wait to be called by the staff to make their draw.
As the fourth, fifth, and sixth contestants all missed the bye, everyone started getting more and more excited.
With almost half of them eliminated from getting that bye, their chances were now very good. As long as they were the ones that went next, it would be very likely that they would get the bye.
So everyone was waiting to be called next since it gave them the best chance of getting the bye.
That was everyone except for Bi Qing.
Bi Qing just stood there with a faint smile on her lips, as if she wasn't worried about a single thing. It was almost as if she already knew exactly what was going to happen.
The next person called up came over with an excited and triumphant smile. It was as if they could already see themselves pulling the bye.
However, they were disappointed when they didn't get it in the end.
Seeing that this person didn't get it, the others let out sighs of relief before waiting for the next one called.
But the eighth, ninth, and even tenth person wasn't able to get the bye.
At this point, people couldn't help feeling like this draw was rigged. But for the ones that still hadn't gone up to draw yet, they didn't care.
However when the eleventh, twelveth, and thirteenth person all failed to draw the bye, everyone started getting suspicious.
Even with such low odds, they still weren't able to get the bye…
People were even starting to doubt if the bye was even in there.
When the fourteenth person went up, they slowly felt around in the box for the bye, but…in the end, they weren't able to draw it.
The one that received the bye in the end was Bi Qing who had been called up last to draw.
