Lu Qingyun and Zhang Gang had both walked to the stage now with their tempered wooden swords. The tempered wooden swords that were in their hands were stronger than steel as it was made of the Heart Oak Crystallite Wood. However the sword edges were not sharpened so as not to hurt any of the contesters.
The two of them quickly exchanged a polite hand bow before they brandished out the wooden swords that were in their hands.
The thousands of protégés were all watching in anticipation and eager for the outcome as the thunderous claps and roars increased in activity.
Lu Qingyun was a first realm middle tier cultivator while Zhang Gang was second realm middle tier cultivator. The difference between a first realm practitioner and a second realm master practitioner were not that wide as compared to the third realm and above realms.
