The challenge is just an excuse; they need it to gain fame.
Whether Lu Yu is truly an unparalleled prodigy doesn't matter; as long as their notoriety spreads, that's enough. Even if the official Divine Weapon Pavilion clarifies Lu Yu's identity afterward, the fame would have already spread far and wide.
All benefits with no harm.
Of course, the premise is being able to defeat this "unparalleled prodigy" Lu Yu, otherwise, everything is but an illusion.
In the martial arts arena, aside from challengers, there are also many disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion and outer members, who are here to watch the excitement after hearing about the challenge happening this afternoon.
Now the war is nearly over, and it's rare to have something to relax with, just nice as a post-war entertainment activity.
Anyhow, they're not the ones fighting, so watching doesn't hurt.
