The Outer Sect's promotion tournament received relatively little attention.
For a tournament of a hundred thousand participants, the Cyan Nether Sword Sect only sent one Inner Sect Elder to supervise the Outer Sect promotion tournament alongside Elder Bai, who was in charge of the Martial Arts Hall.
The two elders sat atop a high tower in the center of the Martial Arts Hall.
They sat opposite each other, a stone table carved with a game board between them, pieces in hand as they played a match.
"Playing the center. Your move, Old Bai!"
The Black Robed Elder from the Inner Sect chuckled.
Elder Bai raised his grizzled white eyebrows, his expression calm. "Playing the center... So you're taking the royal road this game! But no matter how powerful your strategy, it won't stop me from slaughtering your dragon..." As he spoke, Elder Bai placed a stone.
"You old coot, still as stubborn as an ox, never willing to give an inch."
