Preliminaries-1!

Ashen stood in the left topmost corner of the ring, calmly without making a move, gazing at the other competitors.

All the disciples had formed groups of their own. Some disciples wore crimson red uniforms while some wore fiery red uniforms. Some were adorned in yellow while some were in blue. There were also green, brown, pink, purple, white, and black representing the different sects.

From the sect Leader's seats, they looked like dots of different colors with only Ashen standing alone.

The disciples were all looking at each other with wary, waiting for someone to make a move. They also wanted to recognize the cultivator who had the maximum chance of winning.

If they knew that then disciples from different sects could cooperate to eliminate the strongest contender first.

This was also the reason why the elder of the Phoenix Feather sect decided to support both Ashen and Vi Ling. There was no telling what would happen in this match.
