Just issuing a letter of challenge, why could it not go as he wished?

He Yunxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, during these three years that you were in closed-seclusion, the other nine cities already had six city lords who ascended to the second level. Right now, in this first level, there are only three of the original ten great city lords left."

He Yunxiang nodded and said, "Who else can it be if not you? Your battle with Changsun Xingyu was too shocking. It spread throughout the ten cities very quickly. The city lords of Qing Liang and Bi Xia, these two cities, chose to ascend within three months. The other six city lords also ascended one after another within two years."
