Chapter 249 Zhou Tiantang
"Continuous challenges?"
Ling Chen frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of this rule.
Zi Lingyang explained, "In the previous Eight Palaces Martial Arts Tournament, each academy would select five competitors, and arrange them in order. Then, according to the sequence number, they would fight one-on-one, using a best-of-five system to determine the victorious academy."
"Correct."
Ling Chen nodded.
On the way there, Palace Master Mo Han had told them about it.
Zi Lingyang continued, "But with that system, luck plays a not insignificant part. Unless an academy’s every student is extremely strong, it’s only possible to win the championship! Last time, the reason why Taiyi Academy beat our Xuantian Academy was because we had bad luck."
"So, Wangxing Academy and Jiangxing Academy, the organizers of this Eight Palaces Martial Arts Tournament, have some objections to this system and are prepared to reform it."
"This so-called continuous challenge system is said to involve the competing academies sending out their fighters one by one. The loser sends out the next contender, while the winner can continue to stay in the arena to fight until all the players from one side are eliminated."
"This system places a very strong requirement on strength, and the role of luck is minimized to a great extent."
