Unforeseen Circumstances

It was seven in the morning, but the tents were already filled.

Lin Zixin appeared on the rooftop. He looked at the crowd and started, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, we are going to carry out the challenger's fight. The rules are as follows…"

All participants would submit his or her name along with the name of the opponent that they had selected to the clerk. If the prerequisites were met, the match would be set up. The prerequisites were as follows: firstly, the opponent should have rested more than an hour after his or her previous fight. Secondly, one can't challenge someone twice. Thirdly, opponents could reject a fight after competing twice in one day.

After reading out the rules, Lin Zixin announced, "If there's no objection, the competition will begin now."

One after another, a few disciples went up to submit names.
