The choice of rivals and schedules were according to ranking was strictly under the top-notch experts from all seven States, thus the number of partic.i.p.ants was reduced with the number of rivals with every battle.

Every after few days experts would be s.h.i.+fted with new expert mentors as the judges of all these battles so that they could perform their duties without any burden or fatigue.

After winning one could feel the happiness and after lose one could be seen dejected, this was natural and common in these sub-compet.i.tions.

Finally, it now turned for Yellow River non-contemplation disciples because many of them were cla.s.sified as second ranking, Fi Bing was second ranking also and today was his battle with Desert Hunt Life Skills School disciple from Dang Ming State Ni Han, both practiced Metal Chain as the weapon for their life skills and both were non-contemplation students.

Both were standing opposite in the arena, from his appearance rough yet strong and thick robs he was exuding desert legend feeling and on other rounds Fi Bing was wearing clean white robs it was not a simple difference of States but the atmosphere in which they both were born and bred.

They bowed to each other, there was seven top alters at which seven mentors were looking at seven arenas and every judge had two subordinates, every arena was 40 by 40 square shape.

In fact, sub-ordinates were sent by King and would help in making any decision in any match which was tied up without any bias to keep the fairness of the Imperial Selection Compet.i.tion, thus mentors were bound to be neutral and fair.

Seven arenas were hosting seven combat matches, there higher chance to get tricked by the neighbor but it was made thus to provide as such as battle where there would not be only several thousand fellow fighters but also the enemy and their evasive attacks so this compet.i.tion chances to improve war caliber.

Fi Bing and Ni Han immediately took their positions after the bowed to each other, metal chains ties to waists were pulled up front with chunk sound, their combat began Fi Bing swayed his metal chain with quick force toward his opponent, and Ni Han was already quick to budge this simple move with his active energy, from his looks Ni Han was not hot-tempered but right after he dodged pulled back his metal chain with quick movement his chain tried to capture his rival's leg to plan fall but this was useless because Fi Bing jumped in time and escaped that move, next Ni Han was more careful because he was not here to lose.
