Everyone sat quietly. Their eyes were locked onto Slazza and Narja. Even their hearts seemed to slow down, as if offering utmost silence to the valued announcement.
"Should you permit three other prefectures to join the exhibition, the event shall be broken into two parts," Slazza explained. "The first part would pit prefectures against each other, head to head. The winning three prefectures will participate in the bracket tournament immediately following the first part, alongside the quadrant's candidate.
"In addition to the potential award and boons for outdoing the quadrant's candidate, a new prize will be added. The top four mortal candidates, which may include the quadrant's candidate, will receive gifts directly from the quadrant. And it will be something to help the young cultivators better prepare for the Mortal Championship."
'Agree to open the exhibition.'
