The host rambled on with a lot more words than in the previous rounds.
After about ten minutes, he said:
"In today's matches to decide the top 8 from the top 16, we will not use the unified battle method. Instead, we will have players compete one by one."
In other words, there were just too few participants.
Intermediate and lower-level Pet Beast battles are short. If all the players were to compete at once, even with a camera on each battle ground, it wouldn't take much time. So, to extend the broadcast channel time, having the participants compete in groups is the best choice.
The same will apply to the next few rounds of matches.
This was explained to all contestants by the on-site manager when they arrived.
Qiao Sang took her place in the front row of the contestant area and waited quietly.
The list of competing groups was drawn by guests.
Fu Jian drew "Qiao Sang, Little Ting Dragon," while Tie Daoyi drew "Yushike, Electric Mad Dog."
