Qin Wushuang thought about it and immediately understood.
Those martial arts students that could rank number one in the country would undoubtedly be extraordinary. From Tong Yao's information, this martial arts exam was related to the major issue of whether Bai Yue Country would rise to become an upper-level Subordinate Country. Of course, the royal families would spare no effort and money.
You must know that when a country rose to become an upper-level Subordinate Country, it meant a change of status nationally. It meant that the country would be in an entirely different situation when it interacted with surrounding countries.
For example, the Great Wu Country, that was next to the Bai Yue Country had the same ranking and had always fought in broad daylight and in secret. These two countries had been at war with each other many times. However, once one side rose to become an upper-level Subordinate Country, it meant that the balance between would immediately be broken.
