The opening dance performance lasted for about twenty minutes.
Then all the body-painted women left the stage, and staff came to clean the arena. Tonight, the tournament officially began.
A host in a work uniform briefly introduced the event, followed by the referees. Then, the two competitors for the first match took the stage.
The two had vastly different physiques; the only thing they had in common was the masks on their faces.
One wore a mask resembling a broadly grinning monkey, while the other seemed to be some kind of feline.
"Are masks allowed during the match?" Lu Yuan asked Lin Zhiquin.
"Not allowed, they are mandatory..." Lin Zhiquin shook his head and said, "The tournament rules state that masks must be worn before going on stage, and they must be masks provided by the tournament organizers."
"So many rules." Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. No wonder so few people have signed up to compete or watch.
