"Esteemed elders and cultivators, I am Li Qing. I trust most of you already know of me."
A figure appeared suddenly in the arena.
Li Qing clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, introducing himself to the gathered spiritual roots and elders from various clans.
"This time, I have been tasked by His Majesty to oversee the upcoming duels," he announced.
"The rules for the duels remain the same as in previous years. However, considering that some newly established cultivation families may be participating for the first time, I shall take a moment to explain them carefully.
The duels are simple: two contestants will face off on the platform. The winner advances, and the loser is eliminated.
There are no restrictions—no limits on techniques or methods. The duel continues until one side dies or admits defeat.
