Senior Sister Han

At the peak of Mount Emei, known as Emei Golden Summit, over a dozen elevated platforms hosted numerous figures engaged in swift swordplay.

Their movements stirred up the air with the resonance of clashing blades, occasionally punctuated by the ringing of swords.

Due to the large number of participants, it was impractical to conduct matches one by one. After careful consideration, it was decided to divide the contestants through a lottery system for group battles.

Eventually, twenty individuals would be selected, competing in pairs to determine the top ten. To prevent seeded players and strong contenders from facing off too early, the grouping was deliberately arranged.

This wasn't considered clandestine manipulation; rather, it was part of the selection process for those who would represent the sect in the upcoming grand competition of swordsmanship.

In this context, meritocracy prevailed, relegating the less proficient to lower ranks. Luck was transient; prowess, eternal.
