Ling Chen was the first to draw lots, and without much glance, he directly pulled out a bamboo stick. At the bottom of the stick, there was a number, three.
He hoped to draw a bye. Ling Chen thought to himself, to advance to the semi-finals without doing anything was a stroke of effortless good luck he certainly wanted.
Soon, all seven people had finished drawing. As everyone revealed their numbers, Ling Chen's expression immediately changed.
He had hoped for some good luck, but his opponent turned out to be Yang Zhe!
Not only that, the strongest contender, Wang Hao, had drawn a bye.
Damn! Ling Chen couldn't help but curse silently, feeling completely out of luck. It would have been one thing to draw a Dragon List master as an opponent, but he ended up drawing a master from the Earthly List, which was horribly unlucky.
"Ling Chen versus Yang Zhe."
When the referee announced the pairings, the audience around the stage was immediately shocked, showing various expressions.
