Chương 1717: Tournament of Rising Stars

Emperor Ning stood up and began his speech shortly after their arrival.

"My Ning Family welcomes you all to this year's Tournament of Rising Stars, where those below the age of 27 may participate, regardless of your background or affiliation!"

"Before I reveal the reward, allow me to explain the rules for this tournament first."

"First and foremost, each of you will be assigned an opponent who matches your age. As the tournament progresses and there are fewer participants, the age disparity will naturally widen."

"There is a protection formation around this arena, so you do not have to worry about accidentally being killed. However, your opponents may still forfeit. Once they forfeit, you are prohibited from attacking. If you damage your opponent after they forfeit, you will also be disqualified."

"Martial techniques that directly damage the soul are also strictly forbidden. If caught, you could be punished with death."
