"Ha!" "Ah!" "Ya!"
Tie Dan sat cross-legged on the eaves of the Sword Sect's Taoist tower, holding his head in boredom, watching a group of children wielding wooden swords in a brawl on the training field.
Master Tian Yao was simply bluffing; upon hearing that the iron sword lost, it had to be driven out. So, he hastily crafted a batch of wooden swords overnight. Early in the morning, after running laps around the manor, he handed them to this group of children and made them fight in pairs.
If they won, they could have breakfast. If they lost, they had to keep fighting until they won to eat. If they really couldn't win, they'd miss a meal. Of course, if they won, they could continue fighting, and the last one standing would receive a Bone Strengthening and Blood Melting Pill as an extra reward, nicely termed as a pre-competition trial.
