"A few years ago, the outer sect sparring tournament only featured disciples below the 4th Layer of Qi Condensation. Some of them have grown since then, and I'd like to see just how far they've come. That's why I suggest expanding the selection pool and holding a trial tournament. If someone at the 7th Layer of Qi Condensation can defeat an 8th Layer practitioner, they will be our trump card," Zhang Jie said.
"I have no objection either. Since we're hosting on our home ground, we certainly shouldn't send out a 9th Layer practitioner—winning that way wouldn't be very glorious. Being able to challenge opponents of a higher rank and defeat them is naturally the best outcome," Qian Youqiao said.
"I agree with this approach as well. Let's do it then. I briefly looked over the list; the number of disciples at the 7th Layer isn't large, and several groups have gone down the mountain for practical training and probably won't make it back in time. I suggest limiting the selection pool to the 6th through 8th Layers of Qi Condensation. What do you all think?" Zhao Xiaosheng said.
