In the Hong Sect, selecting candidates is a long-standing tradition that can't be changed by just anyone.
Although Hong Jinbao is the Sect Leader, even he cannot alter this rule.
After selecting the candidates, they are reviewed by the Sect Leader, and only after passing the review can they officially become candidates.
Even after becoming a candidate, it doesn't guarantee that they will become the Sect Leader. They need to remain in the candidate position for a period until the Sect Leader steps down before they can take the position.
Therefore, the position of Sect Leader in the Hong Sect is not something that can be achieved casually. One must not only have personal strength but also opportunity. Missing either of these two points is unacceptable.
"According to the rules, let's begin," Hong Jinbao announced.
The first round involves drawing lots to select an opponent, and then the two engage in combat. A candidate must have a certain level of personal combat ability.
