Soon, several more matches took place.
Though each had its own flair, but none quite matched the thrilling energy of the very first duel between Lin Fan and Mo Lin.
Despite the participants all falling within the age range of eight to thirteen, it quickly became clear that age was a significant advantage.
No one had begun proper cultivation yet — the Elders insisted on waiting for a special time — but that didn't mean these children had been slacking.
Many had spent years honing their physical strength and martial prowess, diligently practicing mortal techniques.
One notable match featured a girl named Yu Xueqing, a quiet genius from a branch family known for her deadly precision in blade arts.
Her opponent barely had time to blink.
With a calm draw of her twin blades, Yu Xueqing stepped forward, her feet barely making a sound. Her strikes were fast, shallow, and efficient — never lethal, but always perfectly aimed.
Within thirty seconds, the match was over.
