A single match, yet all the competitors belonged to the Tang Sect, hailing from various age groups. They were essentially the finest talents from the sect's various martial arts academies across the country.
The Tang Sect was currently developing quite well, and its talent cultivation program was particularly impressive. The only pity was that the assassin activities of the past—which used to yield the greatest profits—were no longer permitted, at least not for the younger generation. The younger ones had hardly ever seen blood or killed a person, and their fighting styles were prone to getting out of hand. In their usual training and combat, many techniques were designed to subdue the enemy in a single blow. An assassin's job was to resolve a threat instantly, but the tournament strictly forbade killing, especially when fighting one's own people. The technique of instant striking, passed down within the Tang Sect, was simply not something that could be used casually; their venomous barbs targeted vital areas such as internal organs.
Faced with this situation, they could only stop at the point of yielding. Otherwise, they would damage the harmony between sect members without even winning the match.
