89 : First Round

The Arena was abuzz with excitement and tension as the voice of Iron Fist II, the renowned elder, echoed through the air. His announcement brought a new level of anticipation to the competition.

"For those who think you are competing only for the sake of your sects, I have good news for you," he proclaimed.

"If you can reach the third round, you will get a chance to enter the Dream Well. Additionally, one person of your choice will be allowed to enter with you. This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity. Use it well." 

As Iron Fist II descended gracefully from the air, the heads of the three sects of the Seven Mountains stood up. In a ceremonial gesture, they each lit a torch, signifying the official start of the competition. The flames flickered brightly, casting a warm glow over the Arena.
