Everyone gathered in the open ground—a select group of the most promising disciples, handpicked to represent their sect in the upcoming Falling Star Tournament.
Their expressions were a mix of anticipation and determination, fully aware that this event could shape their futures.
At the forefront stood Yun Xiu, her presence commanding respect. Behind her, her disciple Yu Mei watched quietly, her wide eyes filled with curiosity and admiration for her master.
Beside Yun Xiu, Su Yan held her head high, exuding confidence as she prepared to lead her team into the tournament.
"The reason you are all gathered here today," Yun Xiu began, her voice firm and clear, "is to inform you of the rules and structure of the Falling Star Tournament."
"Although there is still time before the tournament begins, it is better to prepare early," she added.
