"Mr. Ye, please draw lots to determine the number of the first contestant you will face."
At that moment, the host carried a box containing numbered balls and walked over to Ye Xuan, politely saying,
Ye Xuan immediately reached into the box, casually grabbed a ball, and then took it out and placed it on a tray. The ball bore the number '9'—the first opponent Ye Xuan would face, contestant number 9!
The host presented the ball on the tray to the audience below the stage, loudly announcing, "The host has drawn ball number 9. I am honored to have the number 9 fighter be the first to compete. Please come up to the stage."
As soon as those words were spoken, an excited and jubilant laughter erupted from the area where the fighters were preparing:
"Ha ha ha, I didn't expect to be the first one up! Sorry everyone, but the championship is mine."
