"Isn't it said that only during the annual ranking challenge can the disciples initiate a challenge?"
Ye Mo asked curiously.
The annual ranking challenge is essentially a competition to gauge the strengths of the disciples. Once the challenge concludes, except for the top 20, the other ranking contenders can only grit their teeth and cultivate until the next challenge.
Only those who make it to the top 20 are regarded as the absolute elite among the disciples.
"Yes, but disciples can also duel in private. This duel can be refused by the challenged party as long as both sides agree. But generally, unless it's during the ranking challenge, top 20 disciples rarely accept challenges to avoid revealing their true strength. Many hopefuls aim to make a remarkable impact in the next challenge by keeping their potential under wraps,"
Dantai Zanglian explained.
The higher the rank, the higher the status, and the more resources one enjoys within the clan.
