The Core Hall duel had finally arrived. The duel was not an annual event; it was held whenever the Elders deemed it necessary.
A Core Hall duel was scheduled to be held just as Lin Xuan joined; otherwise, Qing Piaoyun would never have tested him. If Lin Xuan had lacked the strength to compete, or if he hadn't made any progress from six months ago, Qing Piaoyun would not have let him participate.
Truthfully, for Lin Xuan to be able to participate in this duel right after joining the Core Hall would have been impossible under normal circumstances. After all, this was for a spot as an Elder candidate, not some other casual position. After becoming an Elder candidate, how could one become an official Elder?
