Facing a challenge was unavoidable; regardless of whether those two chiefs were willing or not, they had to accept it. However… as challengers, they faced significant restrictions. If they failed, the consequences were unimaginable.
If the challenge failed, Xin Yun and Ming Xuan would both be demoted to the next lower-level academy, unable to continue studying at the main academy. Moreover… even if they succeeded, for the following week, those two chiefs could challenge them once a day, a total of seven opportunities. If the chiefs won just one match, it would count as a failure for Xin Yun and Ming Xuan.
The reason for these arrangements was to avoid randomness. To challenge a chief, one must have absolute confidence in success; simply defeating them once wasn't enough. One had to dominate every single encounter, or else, defeat was almost certain.
