Sky-splitting Sword Sect, the grand competition of the entire sect.
The location is on the gigantic Martial Arts Arena of the Sword Sect Square.
Likewise, it is divided into ten areas, gathering thousands of disciples from both the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect.
According to the procedure, the draw comes first, followed by the matches on the stage.
The rules are simple—pair up for combat, with the victor advancing to the next round.
The loser is not immediately eliminated but competes with another disciple who has also lost.
Lose again, fight again.
Continuous pairings in a relatively fair manner ultimately determine a ranking for each of the thousands of disciples.
It is very time consuming and complex.
Therefore, the Ten Elders did not come to watch.
Only about ten Inner Sect Deacons came to serve as referees.
And one elder deacon came to oversee the whole event.
After all, this was just the preliminary assessment.
