When Lin Su approached the edge of the field where ten stone pillars stood, each pillar already had its owner.
On the Yun Family's side, the battle for the stone pillars had already begun.
The challenged disciples of the Yun Family would temporarily step down from their pillars to fight the challenger, and once the battle ended, the victor would climb back onto the pillar while the defeated became the challenger, left with no choice but to challenge others for ownership of a pillar.
To maintain order during the competition, other disciples were not allowed to seize the temporarily vacant pillars or initiate any new challenges during an ongoing one.
This meant that only one challenge could take place at a time.
The reason for the tranquility on the Lin Family's side was twofold: fewer Lin Family disciples participated, merely eight in total, and Lin Su was leisurely making his way towards them, which unsettled them.
