Drawing lots?
Li Fan watched as Foundation Building disciples gathered on the deck, while the attacking Nascent Souls surprisingly stopped at a distance of thirty feet away from the treasure ship. They did not directly attack, but instead waited for them to draw lots, leaving Li Fan puzzled.
'The Sword Intent of Xuantian suggests that little Yao is fighting according to ancient methods. As you've seen, if it were like before, where violence erupted immediately, everyone would have been killed in the blink of an eye. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a grand sword-fighting event ended without anyone getting to enjoy the excitement?'
Therefore, following the ancient method of sword-fighting, before the elder assembly, one must first evaluate the disciples and showcase the strengths and names of both parties. If someone wins three matches in a row, according to the rules, they are recognized by both sides as the most promising newcomer, a young genius not to be killed.
