To be fair, the young generation of the Imperial Court martial artists present were actually quite remarkable, and a few of them could earn a spot on the ranking list of skilled individuals.
However, what Su Xin and the others were looking for were elites, individuals who could represent the face of the Imperial Court, and compete with the elites of the Golden Khanate and the Central Plains Martial Arts. Therefore, their standards were naturally much stricter.
As a result, the dozen or so contestants that followed were mostly stopped before ten moves were completed, until Tie Chen of the Iron Family took the stage and broke the impasse.
The Iron Family had many secret martial arts techniques; however, the most famous among the Iron Family's martial arts were probably Tie Ao's Eagle Claw Skill and Heavenly Roc Captures the Dragon Skill.
