Chapter 3: The more Overlord Medals a faction obtains, the more participants they can send to the next Strongest Warrior Tournament. Each Overlord Medal allows that faction to send one additional contestant. The initial quota is three, and one Overlord Medal increases that quota by one.
In the last Strongest Warrior Tournament, the Reincarnation Paradise faction was surrounded and eliminated early on, with the first place going to the Star Clan of the Void.
Although the Star Clan appears arrogant, the few representatives they sent this time were all very weak. They were eliminated before even advancing to the fifth round, clearly intending to play it safe for one tournament to avoid being targeted.
Being targeted is nothing new. Before the start of the previous Strongest Warrior Tournament, Reincarnation Paradise had won fifteen consecutive championships! This caused all participating factions to gang up on Reincarnation Paradise.
In that previous tournament, from the first to the third round, the contestants' top priority was to find and surround the Reincarnation Paradise contestants. Because if they didn't eliminate those guys, there was no point in fighting. There had been a painful lesson from an earlier tournament.
In the most brutal tournament in history, eight Reincarnation Paradise contestants advanced to the fifth round. The remaining two, upon just advancing, immediately threw away their Overlord Medals to forfeit. They simply couldn't fight. The eight from Reincarnation Paradise would absolutely clear the field, and the top three would be predetermined for Reincarnation Paradise. Who could tolerate that?
In that tournament, a Feather Clan girl almost cried from grievance. She had endured countless hardships to finally reach the fifth round, only to find herself in a 1 vs. 8 situation from the start. Moreover, those eight madmen were each stronger than the last. When the fifth round began, signal flares filled the sky, and six massive Φ-shaped marks nearly covered the heavens. It was a spectacular sight.
After that tournament, the venue for the fifth round of the Strongest Warrior Tournament was changed to an extremely cold region. Whenever a signal flare was launched, heavy snow would immediately fall, obscuring the flare.
As the saying goes, breaking the rules isn't the strongest; making the rules change because of you is true strength. The rules of the Strongest Warrior Tournament were changed because of that sky full of signal flares.
And this time, Su Xiao secured first place while holding seven Overlord Medals. This means that in the next Strongest Warrior Tournament, Reincarnation Paradise will have ten participation slots. The madman's paradise that dominates numerous factions is about to return.
