Zhao Ci asked many more questions before he finally got a clear picture of the current situation.
The Prefecture Examination hadn't started yet. With full rosters across the seven mansions, there were a total of thirty-five participants. Each one could challenge Mansion Officials from other mansions and the Princes. Since any two people could only fight once, a total of five hundred twenty-five points were up for grabs.
To secure a spot in the top three, one needed at least ninety points to be safe.
The rules this time were aggressive. Refusing a challenge resulted in an automatic loss.
The only exception was if you had already fought five or more matches that day.
For the past three days, the three Mansion Officials of the Tenth Prince's Mansion had fought their maximum of five matches each day.
Feng Kucha had won three matches by relying on his dung-dipped mop.
Yang Mo had won four matches by being durable and using poison.
