Bab 1157: The Upper Hand

Elemental Domain, Icebound District.[a]

The fate-determining Internal Ranking Tournament in the Ice Pole Faction was a bloody one. Most of the disciples'[b] main battle puppets had been smashed to pieces. Without the motivation and ability to continue upward, they could only use their spare battle puppets to defend their current ranking.

The Ice Pole Faction's Internal Ranking Tournament had always been known for its cruelty. Failure would mean one had to start all over again. This was the Ice Pole Faction's strategy. They were trying to use this method to tell their descendants the cruel reality. There were no cordial methods and no easy path. The rule here was that there were no rules. Only in this way could every qualified descendant be made sturdier than 10,000-year-old ice.
