The rankings in the virtual arena were divided according to the Life Evolution Realms, with the Immortal Level being at the peak. Each realm has subdivisions of Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Cedric's ranking after his placement matches, which is Grand Solar (Gold), was the peak of this rank. For his promotion to Cosmic (Bronze) rank, he needs to win five consecutive matches against people of that same rank as he is; they could be stronger but definitely not weaker, or else it wouldn't count.
On the other hand, if he is defeated three times in a row during his promotion matches, he will be demoted to Grand Solar (Silver) rank, and that's another problem on its own.
Although it's a little weird for an Immortal Level evolver like him to be participating in matches with Grand Solar challengers, this situation wasn't really all that rare in the arena.
