Challenging the person in first place was nothing new.
Just because someone had the highest score didn't mean they were the best in actual combat.
So, to ensure the top rank was truly deserved,
the number one student in every courtyard could be challenged.
It was just that challenges were rare.
Luo Xuan had been first for so long, yet Fang Yong, the one in second, had never challenged her.
If Fang Yong didn't make a move, the others were even less likely to issue a challenge.
They couldn't afford to lose face.
Yet Jiang Man had just reached the top, and while others were still looking up in awe, the former number three had the gall to step forward and challenge him.
This was, in essence, a humiliation for the number one student.
After all, even the person in second place had remained silent.
At this moment, everyone else was paying close attention to the situation.
In the past, no one would have paid much attention to whether Jiang Man was challenged.
