At the opening ceremony for the martial arts tournament, Guyue, the chief judge, welcomes everyone to the tournament. He tells everyone that the tournament is important because the winner will be the leader of both continents and the champion of the sect. He also says that he will be judging the tournament with him as the referee. He says that there are many new faces at the tournament, including the senior members of the academy. Guyue says that wu qu will probably represent the academy in the competition. He asks why there are only three people in the room, and wonders why they are not fighting. He then asks what is going on with Luoying and Wuzu. He thinks that they are trying to ambush them, but that zhen has already arrived and is preparing to strike first. He adds that they still have the ability to fight.
