"Next, I announce that the Qing Bang Tournament is now officially open!"
With Gu Yun's resonant and powerful voice, the historically most prestigious Qing Bang Tournament had commenced.
Judges from nine different sects and cultivation families, as previously arranged, headed towards the ten competition arenas.
All of them were strong practitioners at the Half-step Gang Qi realm, and were highly respected within their respective sects.
In past Qing Bang Tournaments, their strength would have been sufficient to easily halt the matches, but this time the seed players were so strong that almost none were weaker than the judges, which had long troubled the judging panel.
Finally, Gu Yun decided that he would oversee all the matches in the round-robin himself.
