[I just heard that Qiao Sang is attending the Imperial Beastmaster Academy!]
As time ticks on, it reaches nine in the morning.
The host steps onto the stage, greets the audience, introduces the guests, and after going through all the procedures, finally gets to the main event:
"Next, we'll proceed with the pairing for the top 108 advancing to the top 54! Let's welcome the judge from the notary office!"
A giant virtual screen appears out of nowhere in the venue.
Everyone stops their conversation and focuses on the screen and Fen Tongji.
"Fen, Fen."
Fen Tongji steps into the arena, splits into two, as his head floats towards the center of the giant virtual screen, merging into it.
Photos of all contestants start to shuffle rapidly, mixing up.
After about ten seconds, the photos pair up two by two, freezing on the screen.
Qiao Sang glimpses at the third pair and sees her own photo.
