Outside the Book Collection Pavilion, the registration elder scanned the disciples observing the duel, and said loudly:
"Right Pulse disciple Huang Wu, Left Pulse disciple Qin Tian, both have set their eyes on the same book today at the Book Pavilion. As per the old rules, they shall duel for the book; winner takes it!"
The registration elder was entirely in a spectator's mindset and said, "Let me first announce the dueling rules. No weapons, no poison, no Hidden Weapons. Stop at first touch, no lethal acts, or I will intervene to clear personal grievances! You both understand?"
Huang Wu nodded: "Elder, it's not that complicated. Give me three minutes, and I'll have him down."
Without changing his expression, Qin Tian remarked calmly, "Understood, feel free to bring it on."
"Good, everyone here will be witnesses. Qin Tian, rest assured, I guarantee a fair competition, and should you lose, you'll have no complaints."
