บท 570: The Finals [1]

The Jade Eclipse sect's grand arena was abuzz with anticipation, its towering stone walls humming with the energy of thousands of disciples, and elders, who had gathered for the finals of the Outer disciple tournament. 

Banners adorned with the sect's emblem—a coiled jade dragon encircling a glowing crescent moon, danced in the crisp, midday breeze, and the golden glow of the sun bathed the arena in a warm radiance. 

The circular platform in the center gleamed as it was surrounded by formations that were designed to protect the spectators from stray bursts of energy.

Surrounding the platform were rows upon rows of seats, filled with outer and inner court disciples, their excited chatter blending into a steady roar of anticipation.

At the highest vantage point sat the Wing Masters, each representing one of the 13 wings of the sect.
