The contestants who advance to the top 16 in the Daoist school tournament often have spiritual beasts that have reached the peak of the Extraordinary Ninth Rank, on the verge of a breakthrough.
If they want to break through, they can do so at any time.
"Can this even happen?"
"Chirp!?"
Xiao Jiu, in its Blazing Flame Fox form, strongly protested against such behavior.
"This counts as normal procedure."
Seeing Chen Mo's surprised expression, Senior Brother Lin Lan explained with a smile:
"In the first Daoist school tournament, there was a spiritual beast that broke through during the match, advanced to the Commander Stage, and defeated its opponent. Many people began to imitate this."
"Later, the committee stipulated that the results of the breakthrough match count, but in the following matches, the Commander Stage spiritual beast cannot compete again. The contestant must choose another spiritual beast to compete or directly forfeit."
