Legendary Battle Pet-Chapter 202 Unfortunate
This time, a total of 256 contestants are participating from the three border tribes.
The host, White Tiger Tribe, has the most participants, reaching 128, which is half of all the participants.
The remaining half of the contestants were divided between the Viper Tribe and the Black Eagle Tribe. Each of these two tribes sent out 64 participants to compete.
According to the rules of the competition, the first round consists of group matches, with the 256 contestants divided into groups of four for the matches.
The top two from each group advance to the second round, while the others are eliminated. The group match rules are straightforward: a free for all battle.
All four participants enter the arena simultaneously and can attack any opponent in any manner.
The match ends when two of the four have been knocked out of the arena. The two who remain standing on the arena advance to the second round.
Though the free for all may seem chaotic, to the experienced eye, it is far from mere random fighting. Four participants represent four different positions.
The dynamics of offense and defense, alliances, and rivalries provide a fascinating spectacle.
To break through the group of four, one must not only possess exceptional martial arts skills but also a calm on the spot judgment and perhaps a bit of luck.
Mei Black performed well in the first round, advancing to the second round as the top of her group. Her advancement sparked cheers from the audience.
"The young clan leader is remarkable, truly a prodigy of our tribe's new generation. Her sense of rhythm during her moves was excellent, reminiscent of the clan leader's prowess in his prime."
"Indeed, like father, like daughter. Although Mei Black is a young woman, her decisiveness and ferocity in combat defy the typical indecision of ordinary women, showing the makings of a great leader."

"Hmph! What nonsense about a great leader? She advanced as the top of her group because the others in her group were too weak. In another group, she might not have advanced. It would be amusing if the young clan leader failed to advance..."
"I agree! Among our three border tribes, the Black Eagle Tribe has always been the weakest. Although Mei Black is impressive, her overall strength might not even place her in the top 20 among our White Tiger Tribe's contestants this year."
Some praised Mei Black, expressing admiration. Others, due to skepticism or sheer hostility toward the Black Eagle Tribe, resorted to mocking and sarcasm.
As Mei Black stepped down from the arena, she naturally noticed the discussions among the crowd.
She gently clenched her fist, fully aware that the reason for so much criticism was due to her own strength not being sufficient. If she were strong enough, these people wouldn't dare to mock her so easily.
Of course, the undeniable fact is that not only Mei Black but the entire Black Eagle Tribe has indeed been at a disadvantage among the three border tribes for the past decade or so. It is quite normal for outsiders to look down on them.
"Father, I won't let you down. This time, I must at least make it to the top eight to bring honor to our Black Eagle Tribe!" Mei Black vowed in her heart.
After the first round ended, the 128 contestants who advanced began the second round of tests. The 128 contestants were again divided into groups of four, forming a total of 32 groups.
In this round, the competition would be conducted using the "Copper Man Array" challenge.
In each group, the contestant who passes through the most copper men advances, while the others are eliminated.
Everyone was eager and ready. Whether they could make it to the top 32 depended on this moment.
The 128 contestants stepped onto the arena and, under the supervision of the referees, drew their lots for group assignment. Mei Black was placed in the 9th group.
This did not make her happy at all. In a twist of fate, all four contestants in the 9th group were from the Black Eagle Tribe. According to the competition rules, only one out of the four would advance in this round.
This meant that no matter which contestant won the 9th group, the Black Eagle Tribe would inevitably lose three contestants in the second round.
"Hahaha, the Black Eagle Tribe's luck is really something else."
"Indeed, it's quite unfortunate. No matter who advances among the four, it's a significant loss for the Black Eagle Tribe."
"Ah, it seems even fate doesn't favor our Black Eagle Tribe. Do we really have to be this unlucky?"
"This..."
The drawing results for the 9th group sparked widespread discussion among the onlookers at the scene.
The Youth Martial Arts Competition is not only about individual rankings; the overall ranking of the tribe's participants is also crucial.
Therefore, the draw results for the ninth group are indeed a significant blow to the overall performance of the Black Eagle Tribe.
Already at a disadvantage, they will find themselves even more on the defensive.
Meanwhile, the White Tiger and Viper Tribes were in high spirits. With only so many spots available for advancement, the internal conflict within the Black Eagle Tribe meant more of their own tribe members would progress.
"Hey brother, shall we toast?"
"Let's!"
Many spectators from the White Tiger and Viper Tribes even clinked glasses in celebration of this turn of events.
After the draw concluded, the second round of the competition officially began.
Group 1: White Tiger Tribe's Merlin Tiger wins!
Group 2: Viper Tribe's Azlin Viper wins!
Group 3: White Tiger Tribe's Rashid Tiger wins!
Group 4: White Tiger Tribe's Azlan Tiger wins!
...
As the referee continuously announced the results, each group's outcomes were revealed. Soon, it was time for the 9th group to take the stage.
In the previous eight completed groups, five participants from the White Tiger Tribe advanced, three from the Viper Tribe, and none from the Black Eagle Tribe.
