However, Chang Wei sensed something amiss and asked, "With this kind of fighting style, wouldn't each team's combat power be greatly reduced by the finals? How would we face the Xiao Family then?"
Zhang Po continued to explain: "That's exactly the case, but in order to preserve combat power, it's rare for anyone to die in the early rounds. Every challenger will withdraw or concede based on their own strength and physical condition, unless they meet with a rival family where it's a fight to the death."
"Rival?"
"That's right. Among cultivator families, there are often open and secret struggles. Some are aimed at weakening each other's strengths to prevent one from growing at the expense of the other, while others simply covet the cultivation techniques and inheritances of other families, leading to deadly conflicts."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei seemed to have thought of something: "So, the 'Martial Artist Conference' held by the Xiao Family is also like this?"
