It looked like favonovel.com was right to leave Daxia World for favonovel.com would have remained a country bumpkin if favonovel.com did not come here. Nash glanced at Jack and said, ” Here it says that there are quite a number of informal disciples of the initial stage of intermediate level who have been promoted to the position of formal disciples. Also, you can exchange your position with a formal disciple of the initial stage of acquired level if you defeat favonovel.com in a fight. The loser will take on the position of an informal disciple and the winner the position of a formal disciple. Ah, that explains all the fights happening in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.”
Jack had first-hand experience when favonovel.com had discovered that Officer Brigsgs, Elder Lee, and the others implicitly gave their acquiescence when it came to the bickerings and almost-fights that occurred during the talent test. When it came to fights, the higher-ups would always give them a wide berth, which proved that they highly encouraged fights to break out between the Clan associations. It was as if the fiercer the fights, the more prosperous the Clan association would be.
“This is akin to the voodoo practice of keeping bugs whereby all the bugs are thrown into a vessel to fight to the death amongst each other with the lone survivor being the king of all bugs,” said Jack after giving it some serious thought.
Nash smiled lightly. He nodded his head and then shook his head. “Your metaphor is only half right. It’s true the Dual Sovereign Pavilion encourages fights amongst the Clan associations but the fighters are not allowed to take each other’s lives. The fights are meant to motivate them to level up but killing each other is a big no-no for them.”
Jack nodded his head. If a Clan association disciple continued to scheme against each other after leaving the Clan association, wishing the other party to die before them, then the days of the imminent collapse of the Clan association would not be too far off too. Each of the Clan associations was well aware of this unspoken rule.
Nash took out the paper, calligraphy brush and ink from the desk’s drawer and began to write something. Jack glanced at what favonovel.com was writing and saw three words-wager battle arena. He was immediately filled with awe.
“The Dual Sovereign Pavilion had taken the pains to set up a battle arena to encourage fights amongst the Clan associations. However, the battle rules are numerous. This is to prevent the disciples from getting out of control. As long as you’re a disciple, be that an informal, formal or even an elder disciple you will need to participate in a fight in the wager battle arena once a month.
“The wager must be decided before the fight and could be anything such as treating the winner to a meal or handing over contribution points with the maximum limit of one hundred. Anything more than that would run the risk of the disciples being addicted to fighting in the wager battle arena.
“During the fights, there are two important things to keep in mind-you cannot cause permanent damage to the other party or take the other party’s life. I’m sure you’ll discover just how handy the wager battle arena would be. You can decide when and who the opponent is going to be but it must be consensual.
“You won’t gain any combat experience if you keep on training by yourself. This will cause you to have many shortcomings. I’m sure the Dual Sovereign People set up the wager battle arena specially to prevent this from happening. It’s really ingenious of them.”
Jack nodded at his father, agreeing wholeheartedly with his words. In a nutshell, the wager battle arena’s main purpose was to foster the competitive spirits amongst the Clan associations’ disciples and for them to gain actual combat experience.
Nash then took up the calligraphy brush to write something again-Wooden Spirit Hall and Golden Spirit Hall.
