If they won, there was no reward; if they lost, they faced humiliation—what kind of situation was this?

Duan Shiye first feigned a quick defeat, followed by eight sects vying to elevate Fang Zhixing. Then, no one else appeared to issue a challenge, as a way to perfunctorily deal with Ji Xiangjun.
As a result, Ji Xiangjun clearly understood, and subsequently tossed out an extremely tempting prize.
The eight major sects finally had motivation.
The Innate Sect planned to strike first but unexpectedly...
"Haha, it seems the reward I have here isn't so easy to take away,"
Ji Xiangjun's eyes brightened, and she immediately laughed with her mouth wide open.
