Thirteen universities together could send 130 competitors to the tournament.
The hosting Upper Pure Sect had 40 spots, while Daluo Sect and Yuhua Sect each had 30 spots.
Pudu Temple also secured 30 spots.
Thus, a total of 260 competitors participated, excluding the 36 already advanced to the main competition, leaving 224 to compete in the preliminary round.
The preliminary round lasted three days, and over these three days, 224 contestants vied for the remaining 28 spots in the main competition.
These participants were already among the elite, with the least powerful among them being Refining Strength Martial Masters at the Qi Change Middle Stage.
With over two hundred Refining Strength Martial Masters fighting over three days for the top twenty-eight spots, the level of competition was fierce!
Even if one managed to stand out in the preliminaries, avoiding injury was unlikely.
