The first round of the elimination was about to begin.

The next competition consisted of three rounds, and they would be eliminating two people in each round, reducing the number of candidates from fifteen to nine. Following this, the nine candidates would proceed to the next stage, a competition of five rounds, where one person would be eliminated every round. In the end, the final top four candidates would then proceed to compete for the first, second, and third place in the finals.

The remaining fifteen contestants were both excited and nervous. Furthermore, the next competition would be recorded and edited before being broadcast on TV.

The winner of the online popularity vote and the contestant ranked first by the judges each gained an immunity from being eliminated in the next round. In other words, even if Sheng Jiaoyang and Luo Yi performed badly in the 15 to 13 contestants round, they could still advance.

In this regard, the other contestants were envious of the two who'd gained such an advantage. At least, this round of the competition wouldn't be so intense.

Qi Hua, who wasn't very outstanding, hated Sheng Jiaoyang to death. Initially, this privilege should have belonged to her, but it was snatched away by a poor, backgroundless girl. Are those who voted blind? Why were they fond of that poor ghost? If they had sympathy to spare, then they should just donate more to the mountains! What do those blind people even live for?!

With only fifteen people remaining, they could no longer be divided into two teams. So, the fifteen individuals were divided into three groups of five. The three groups would battle against each other, and all the members of the winning team would advance straight to the next stage. As for the team that placed last, the member with the worst performance in the group would be eliminated on the spot. The remaining members would be ranked alongside the runner-up team based on their performance, and the person with the lowest score would then be eliminated.

Sheng Jiaoyang, as the winner of the online popularity vote, and Luo Yi, as the one ranked first by the judges in the last round, each had the privilege of choosing their team members. As for the rest who didn't get picked, they would automatically become the third group.

In the people who could be selected, there were some contestants who wished to be left for the third group. For example, Qi Hua. She didn't want to see Sheng Jiaoyang or Luo Yi. Another example was Xiao Yang. She was a team captain before, but now that she'd fallen to the point of being selected, she found it hard to accept. So, she thought it would be better to remain and end up in the third group, and then fight for the captain position there.

As a close friend of Luo Yi, Pu Mingyu was naturally the first picked by Luo Yi. For the other three, they were also girls who'd trained with Luo Yi before.

Meanwhile, Sheng Jiaoyang seemed to randomly pick her team members as there was no common sense to her choices. She first picked Qi Hua, who continuously opposed her, and then three girls who usually didn't get along well with her. At that moment, everyone was surprised. No one expected her to do this.

"Jiaojiao, why didn't you choose me?" Wang Wei felt aggrieved. These days, she felt that their relationship was very harmonious. Why didn't Xu Jiaojiao choose her when picking her team members?

After two days, Wang Wei had come back looking somewhat plumper, and Sheng Jiaoyang couldn't help but reach out her hand to pinch her cheeks. "Be obedient. You're already ranked last, so you'd better not join my group."

"Are you afraid that I'll drag you down?" Wang Wei became even sadder.

Sheng Jiaoyang laughed, and as she smiled slightly under Wang Wei's accusing glare, she quietly said, "I have immunity right now, so even if my team performs the worst, I won't be eliminated. If you enter my group, it'll be dangerous for you."
