Yang Jing withdrew his gaze and looked up at the tall, imposing Cyan Qilin Platform.
The cyan-black stone walls of the platform still bore the fist and palm prints left from countless past contests. As the wind blew past, one could almost hear the clang of steel from the battles of yesteryear.
He held his breath, focused his mind, and quietly waited for the strength assessment to begin.
He had already familiarized himself with the rules of the Cyan Qilin Battle, having learned them in detail from Lin Ziheng.
Before the official platform battles, there was a mandatory strength assessment.
This assessment was overseen and judged by the Main Peak Elders and the Seven Veins Stewards. They would evaluate the participants' performance in actual combat against exotic beasts to give everyone a general ranking based on their strength.
The final tournament matchups would be determined by this ranking.
