Criteria

Rui realized that the Floating Sect was probably the most elite group of Martial Squires for their size anywhere on the continent. The Shionel Dungeon had attracted a lot of powerful Martial Squires, but too many of them weren't high-grade.

Here, however, just reaching here required fighting off multiple Martial Squires.

Furthermore, those who were actually members of the Floating Sect had challenged and killed high-grade Martial Squires. Furthermore, they also killed all those who challenged them without even a single failure.

They were elites among elite Martial Artists with consistent formidability.

It reflected over the next few days as they witnessed challenges between initiates and guardians.

Not a single initiate won.

Rui was quite surprised. He expected that at least a few would be able to succeed. Yet each guardian stood their ground, gaining victory one way or another.
