According to the tournament rules, the final five players compete in a round-robin format, meaning every contestant faces the other four in a match. Each win earns one point. Draws lead to tie-breaker rounds, as a clear winner must be determined. In this structure, only one champion will emerge with four points. If runners-up and third-place finishers are tied in points, their head-to-head records are compared to determine the final top three. This stage consists of four rounds, with two matches per round and one player sitting out each time.
The five players are numbered 1 through 5, with Lin Fei assigned number 2. In the first round, Lin Fei drew number 5 and was not exempted. His opponent, number 5, was a clean-cut, refined-looking young man, seemingly only eighteen or nineteen years old. This youth’s cultivation level was Level 6 Refiner with Level 2 Soul Power.
"Hello, my name is Wen Xiaoshan. It is a pleasure to meet you." The opponent offered his hand to Lin Fei before sitting at the chessboard.
