Chapter 39: Taking the Lead

After listening to Yang Yuanzi's introduction, Fang Wang felt that something was amiss. If the final nine spots were determined solely by the number of victories, wouldn't it be advantageous to rank later?

Wouldn't the second-ranked peak have the opportunity to effectively choke the first if it chose not to challenge them?

But upon further thought, he understood.

This was the Nine Veins Combat Method!

It began with the competition among the nine veins, and only then did personal contests follow. Which vein to challenge was not up to the disciples to decide. For peak masters, the ranking of their peaks was of paramount importance. As for the final nine spots, those were of personal interest to the disciples.

The second-ranked peak would definitely challenge the first vein, for they would have to wait another ten years otherwise!
