Luo Xi swallowed hard, checked the elixir he was still refining, and then began to speak to Chu Yi:
"This Alchemy Contest starts with elimination rounds. If you can't win in the elimination rounds, you might have to go home or stay to watch others compete."
"Then comes the semifinals. In the semifinals, the top thirty-two will be decided, and after that, the top sixteen, the top eight..."
Luo Xi wanted to continue, but Chu Yi interrupted her: "So, it's the top sixty-four deciding the top thirty-two, right? And then the top four, after which the champion, runner-up, and third place are determined, correct?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you just listen to me properly?"
Luo Xi cast a glance at Chu Yi and continued.
"Actually, we also call this each stage. For every contestant, regardless of which stage, there are only three pieces of alchemical materials."
