The martial arts tournament for the Zhejiang Martial Alliance leader was just three days away. Upon arriving in Hangzhou, the Ten Clans of Zhejiang arranged their own accommodations and prepared for the martial arts tournament. Since participation wasn’t mandatory, they first had to submit an application to participate in it. Otherwise, they could choose to drop out.

After tabulating the application submissions, the Clear Sun Sect and the Kang Household had been confirmed to have dropped out of the competition. The others chose to join. The eight patriarchs drew lots to determine the tournament brackets.

The tournament brackets were as followed:

The first match was between the Baek Sword Sect’s Baek Cheon-Sang and the Draconic Tiger Gang’s Yong Gun-Seong, followed by the Byeok Sword Manor’s Byeok Cheol-Gun and Flying Lance Sect’s Jo Jin-Myeong. The third match was between the Wind Saber Sect’s Tae Mu-Gang and the Iron Palm Sect’s Dam Hwa-Seong, and the fourth was between the Justice Martial Sect’s Jeong Won-Hyo and the Mei Household’s Mei Jung-Hak.

In the midst of that, a magnificent arena was set up in the middle of downtown Hangzhou. A high platform was placed to the left of it, and hundreds of seats were prepared on the remaining three sides. It had been prepared free of charge by the Hangzhou Merchant Company in exchange for taking all the profits from the ticket sales for the tournament.
