章 218: Establishing Hierarchy of Subordinates

Emerald Cove. Dadangar.

The day was bright and full of anticipation as young Spirit cultivators gathered on the specially prepared battlefield.

These young fighters, aged between 14 and 16, were ready to prove their worth in the annual competition. This event was a tradition on the island, aimed at identifying and nurturing the most talented among the native seedlings.

Aksai, the island owner, sat on a raised platform, his throne-like chair positioned above the seats of his subordinates: Ivy Elbak, Ruan, Shuan, and Jasmine.

Aksai's direct subordinates were the judges for the competition, their chairs placed a level below Aksai's, symbolizing their authority but also their deference to him.

The young cultivators, in their humble yet determined demeanor, offered their bows to Aksai before the battles began. They were aware of the significance of this event, knowing that it could change their futures.
