As Lin Xuan continued forward, he entered a relatively open area. Ahead lay the final destination, but it was sealed tight by a Stone Gate, making it impossible to leave. Unless one's Cultivation was overwhelmingly powerful, breaking through would be difficult. But even if it were broken, the act itself would be judged as a failure, resulting in disqualification…
This was the final battleground. In a sense, Lin Xuan had already half-won. If no one arrived within four hours, he would pass smoothly, qualifying for the finals without a fight.
The reason he had only half-won was that if someone arrived and defeated him, he would obviously lose. However, if someone arrived within the four-hour limit and he defeated them, all he had to do was take their bamboo slip. The Stone Gate would then open automatically, and the person holding two slips would be declared the winner.
