Junior's Tournament (1)

The event started right away. The Junior's tournament will happen in the first two days. For the first day, the students will compete to be the best in each profession.

There was also a pointing system to determine the rankings of each school. The schools that has rank 1, 2, and 3 students in each profession will receive 75, 50, and 25 points respectively. The first rank for the Combat Tournament will receive 200 points for their school. The points will decrease until the tenth rank will only receive 20.

There were only 8 schools on the continent. Both Tai Ming and the Shi Zu Kingdom have three schools each. While the Lan Yin kingdom only has two.

There will then be 8 students who will compete to be in the top 3 of each professions. The combat and auxiliary professions have different types of competition.

The competition for the auxiliary professions will be much simpler as they only have to make the items that were asked of them. It will continuously become harder until the top 3 is known.

For the combat profession, it will follow a tournament bracket of 8. They will fight in pairs which will result on having 4 winners. These four will fight in pairs again resulting in 2 winners and 2 defeated students. The 2 winners will fight for the first and second rank while the 2 defeated students will fight for the third rank.

They will first let the combat profession's competition to have results of the semi-finals. Then they will proceed to get the top 3 for the auxiliary profession. This will give enough rest to the students of the combat professions to compete for the top 3.

The layout of the tournament site was simple. There was a large platform in the middle. This was surrounded by 8 smaller platforms. Then all of this was surrounded by the elevated seats where the spectators can watch the battles.

The large platform was only used on determining the top 3 of each combat professions as well as the top 10 for the combat tournament. The participants for the auxiliary professions have the small platforms for their own use. This was to avoid underhanded tactics from happening as well as to not disturb the others when a failure happened.

"All students that will participate in the Weapon Cultivator Competition. Please proceed to the platform in the middle to draw lots. Your opponents will be decided by it."

As they heard the announcement, the unrelated people went to their seats.

Before she leaves, Xiao Yan made sure to give a good luck charm in the form of a kiss as well as give some motivating speech.

"Mu Yue, let's put a bet to motivate each other. Getting first rank means you can order the other person to follow one command without any fuss."

"You have more competition to join than me. This means that you can get more out of this than me. Isn't that unfair?" Mu Yue mentioned. She could get 2 1st ranks while Xiao Yan can have 3.

"Can you let it slide? Also we cannot use this commands to cancel the other's. Only one command per day will be used."

"Alright"

She did say that it was unfair yet she still agreed to it. Well it was just some commands and she trust Xiao Yan to use them well. She then proceeded to go to the middle platform.

Mu Yue picked a token from the box and read it, "6th spot"

When all the spots were filled, Mu Yue looked at her opponent and checked his cultivation level. 'Middle level 6th step Qi Condensation stage'

She then observed the others and was surprised to sense that all of them were at 6th step. It was now she understands why Xiao Yan keeps on telling her that they had a stronger cultivation level than the other students.

She thought that even if Violet Spirit roots were rare, there should have been some students that were like her.

Although she was the strongest in terms of cultivation level, she will take each fight seriously as she had a bet with Xiao Yan.

The staffs then led each pair to the corner platforms. It was better to have a big space between each battles as to not get distracted by the other battles.

Each platforms also had two Core Formation Cultivators. One will be in charge of overseeing the fight while the other make's sure that no attacks will land outside the platform.
