The Situation

Seven years had passed since the tournament, and while the world appeared serene, many changes had quietly unfolded during this time.

The disciples who had recently awakened were instructed to hone their martial prowess instead of diving straight into cultivation.

This decision, intended to build a stronger foundation for their future growth, sparked frustration and anger among the newly awakened.

They felt their talents were being stifled, and soon protests broke out across the land.

In many areas, groups of disgruntled disciples banded together to voice their discontent, calling for an end to the enforced martial training.

However, the older generations were relentless in their response, easily quashing the protests with swift authority.

The young disciples, eager for change, found themselves powerless against the overwhelming force of the elders.
