Duelist's Dance
With Xuan's proposal accepted, the various forces inside the chamber got to work deciding who their representative was going to be. There were eight major powers present, making a perfect tournament bracket, which meant Xuan had to sit out.
Of course, that was not a bad thing. As the one who came up with this plan, it was agreed that he would get to duel the winner of the tournament, and if he won, he'd be able to enjoy the benefits of the Earthpulse. If not, well—it was high risk, high return for a reason.
As such, he observed the other fights carefully—out of the eight representatives chosen, he determined only three of them to be of any threat to himself—Qu Yun from High Heaven Pavilion, Xiao Huojun from the Temple of Flames, and Li Youpeng from Thousand Swords Sect. All three were incredibly powerful forces in Asphodel, and could be said to rank amongst the top ten.
