The final of the Artifact Path consists of two rounds.
In the first round, each participant must engrave a mark upon the Dao Stone.
Points are given according to the depth and length of the mark.
The second round is practical combat. This time, the method is quite intriguing; the Wuji Sect will put forth a One Sword Dao Puppet into the arena.
The ten contestants, together with the One Sword Dao Puppet, will engage in a free-for-all battle.
The longer one can withstand the puppet's attacks, the more points they accrue.
Points from both rounds are combined to determine the victor.
Venerable Taixu personally presides over the final.
Wu Ji Sect's brightest prodigies all take part in the comprehensive competition; those who settle for the Artifact Path trial do so knowing they stand no chance in the comprehensive contest.
They are the second tier of geniuses.
But Wuji Sect is a top-level Sect in the Upper Spirit Domain; even second-tier geniuses are not easily defeated!
