Chapter 266. The Strongest 4 of White Jade Castle
Right after the end of round seven, only 2,049 parties remained. 106 parties of Lone Desert Smoke managed to proceed to the upcoming round, still taking the lead in White Jade Castle.
At 8 pm, the eighth round of the Soaring Swords competition followed closely after the previous session, and the opposition standing before Zhang Yang’s party was the second party of The Dominators!
When the enemies come face to face, heads will fly! Zhang Yang and his party ruthlessly hacked away, proceeding to the next round with ease.
There were only two rounds of matches on the third day. Only 1024 parties of White Jade Castle were able to stay in the competition so far, with 61 parties of Lone Desert Smoke remaining, far exceeding the 33 parties of Crimson Rage and the 24 parties of Imperial Sky.
As for The Dominators who fell under the category of larger guilds, only 12 parties remained in the competition thanks to the recent event of members withdrawing from their guild. Their results just barely did them justice as a major guild.
After the forth day of the competition, the 1,024 parties were reduced to only 256 parties, where the chaff had been separated from the wheat, with more parties being similar in strength as well.
As the fifth day of the competition marked it’s beginning, the number of matches that a party needed to take part in had been reduced down to one match only, they only needed to secure one victory to make it to the next round.
128 parties, 64 parties, 32 parties...
The remaining number of the parties were getting smaller and smaller every time, and by the end of the ninth day of the competition, White Jade Castle only had 8 parties remaining in the list of the competition. To make sure that the competition was fair to all, all parties were called upon to draw straws in order to determine their turns for the competition tomorrow night.
