The finals were held with paired competitors, advancing step by step; that is, between Li Wenshan and Xiu Qi, the loser would be eliminated, and the winner would advance to the next match.
Li Wenshan was a resident guest of Mount Jiu Hua, which peak hadn't he visited? Which sect hadn't he stayed in? Though devoid of a master's guidance, his eagerness to learn meant his martial skills were definitely not inferior to Xiu Qi's.
Furthermore, this match was crucial for Xiu Qi's life-long affair. All male disciples cast their eyes on Xiu Qi, attentively observing her grace and beauty, imagining who would be so fortunate to win such a beauty.
After yielding politely, Li Wenshan let Xiu Qi make the first move. She drew her treasured sword and performed a skyward thrust, stabbing directly towards Li Wenshan, who countered with a folding fan in his hand, blocking Xiu Qi's sword thrust to the side with force.
