While Rui merrily grew engrossed in his new project, the Floating Sect began growing more and more tense in the span of the following days. Surveillance was tightened, and patrols were carried out by squads of guardians for extra safety.
The Floating Sect had inducted the Martial Squires initiates that had arrived on the island prior to the declaration of war into the sect. After all, there wasn't much else that could be done at the moment. At the moment, the Floating Sect was going to need Martial Artists more than it ever did for the war, furthermore, the Martial Artists that had arrived on the island could not leave either.
Thus the Floating Sect inducted them into the sect and allowed them to acquire the chambers of guardians as long as they beat them in a challenge.
They did, however, prohibit killing and eliminated the death victory condition from the conditions to win.
