Bab 182: 182 In one move, it's over! Contest for [2 more updates]

In Yunjing, these centuries-old families that have been passed down for generations had inherited a practice from 300 years ago: each family was equipped with an Elders Council.

Those who wanted to become elders relied on their strength; everything had to be settled with fists.

The position of an elder was not easy to hold, as one had to constantly beware of challenges from newcomers. Once defeated in a challenge, one would have to step down from the position of elder.

However, inner strength was indeed linked to the time spent cultivating it, so, under normal circumstances, older practitioners typically had higher martial cultivation than the younger ones.

Within the Elders Council, the Fourth Elder was ranked fourth. There were three other elders above him, so he never worried about being replaced.

Only, he had grown old, and indeed his martial cultivation could no longer advance. These past few years he had been living off dividends and retiring.
