The Hundred Peaks Tournament's trials in the six arts wrapped up in just two days, yet the upcoming magical combat would stretch over seven days.
Although the Hundred Peaks Tournament included six arts, the climax was always the final magical combat; in the end, the six arts served as a prelude to this battle.
During the trials in the six arts, only the top three hundred were able to obtain Peak Bamboo, but in magical combat, the top two thousand would be eligible.
If the same rule applied as with the six arts, where only the top three hundred could obtain Peak Bamboo, then the last fifty peaks would stand no chance. Those ranks at the very end would have no way of obtaining a rank if they failed to secure Peak Bamboo in the six arts.
Even with two thousand ranks available, some peaks would still fail to secure Peak Bamboo.
For example, why did Four Treasures Peak previously rank one hundredth?
