Chapter 439 Honor and Rights
The arena of the martial arts conference was already crowded with people, and many heroes gathered here, anxiously waiting for the competition to officially begin.
Seeing this scene, Lin Cheng and Lin Wuyou did not dare to delay and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, looking for a place with a wide view to watch the game.
After some effort, the two finally found two ideal positions and stood firmly in them. At this moment, they were filled with excitement and nervousness, and couldn't wait to witness this feast of masters' duel.
The Wulin Conference is a grand event in the martial arts world, held every five years. At this time, all the heroes in the world gather together to show their strengths and compete for the supreme honor - to become the new generation of the top ten martial arts masters!
In this grand event, everyone will go through a fierce competition and finally select the ten most powerful ones. These outstanding ones will not only receive supreme honor, but also have a privilege: they can choose any one of the top ten masters of the previous session to challenge.
If the challenge is successful, the winner will be able to take his place, ascend the throne that symbolizes strength and status, and become one of the new top ten masters in the world.
However, if unfortunately defeated, the challenger will be eliminated, while the challenged will successfully keep his position.
When all ten masters of the new session have completed the challenge, the new round of top ten list will be finalized. At this point, the highlight of the martial arts conference has officially begun, which is the battle for the throne between the new and old top ten masters.
The final outcome of the battle for the throne will ultimately determine who are the top ten masters who truly stand at the top.
These twenty masters can challenge each other. Each of them has one chance to initiate a challenge, and the person being challenged cannot refuse to accept the challenge.
If the person in the lower position successfully defeats the person in the higher position, the rankings of the two will be reversed immediately; conversely, if the person in the higher position defeats the person in the lower position, the rankings of both parties will remain unchanged.
Generally speaking, out of consideration of face, it is almost impossible for those in higher positions to challenge those in lower positions. If the top ten masters selected in the past have no intention of challenging higher-ups, most of them will simply choose to give up the opportunity to challenge.
However, for those masters who are at a disadvantage, such rules have become a great opportunity for them to improve their rankings.
The reason why they attach so much importance to the ranking of masters is simple: to be among the top ten masters in the world not only helps to enhance their own strength and prestige in the martial arts world, but also represents supreme power and glory.
The champion of each martial arts conference will ascend the throne that symbolizes supreme glory and the pinnacle of power and become the new leader of the martial arts world.
The identity of the leader of the martial arts world not only represents the pinnacle of personal martial arts, but also means shouldering the responsibility of maintaining the order of the martial arts world and handling various affairs of the martial arts alliance.
Looking back three hundred years ago, it was the world-famous martial arts master, Jiang Hezhi, who, with his outstanding talent and peerless martial arts, summoned all the famous heroes of the time to jointly create this great martial arts alliance.
Jiang Hezhi himself naturally became the first leader of the Wulin Alliance, and those heroes had the honor of becoming the first core members of the Wulin Alliance.
When Jiang Hezhi was in power, he established many rules for the Wulin Alliance, and these rules and regulations strictly constrained the words and actions of the alliance members.
Jiang Hezhi took such pains to formulate the rules not to restrict the freedom of martial arts masters, but out of consideration for the future of the martial arts world.
If the underworld is allowed to act recklessly by relying on force, the entire underworld will be infamous and may even lead to ruthless suppression by the imperial court.
Under the leadership of a group of senior masters headed by Jiang Hezhi, a steady stream of people from the martial arts world have joined the Wulin Alliance, and wholeheartedly accept and abide by the alliance's rules and regulations as well as reward and punishment regulations.
Time flies, and the years pass by. Today, the martial arts world is full of sects and hundreds of schools of thought, but the Wulin Alliance has always been like a towering Mount Tai, which makes countless people in the martial arts world yearn for it.
The reason why the Wulin Alliance is so popular is not only that it brings together the top masters in the world, but more importantly, it is also involved in many industrial fields.
If one can stand out at the martial arts conference and become one of the top ten masters, he or she will automatically be awarded one of the ten directors of the Wulin Alliance.
Becoming a director of the Wulin League means having the decision-making power over Jianghu affairs, as well as the rights to receive generous dividends from the Wulin League's industries. Moreover, the higher the ranking, the higher the corresponding dividend ratio.
It is no exaggeration to say that once you become one of the top ten masters in the martial arts world, even if you only experience it once, you will never have to worry about your livelihood again in your life. Faced with such a tempting condition, I believe that few people can resist it.
Because of this, every martial arts conference attracted countless people. As the conference progressed, more and more people from the martial arts world rushed to the arena, and the number of spectators at the competition site increased.
Fortunately, Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng had already seized the opportunity and found a seat in the viewing area without being disturbed too much.
Accompanied by the exciting drumbeats, the ten top masters who were famous all over the world in the previous session came out one after another from the viewing platform built behind the competition arena.
They were dressed in various styles of costumes, and their steps were steady and powerful, as if every step could cause the ground to shake. According to their respective rankings, these masters took their seats in prominent positions in the stands, calmly preparing to watch the battle.
When Lin Wuyou saw clearly the faces of the ten masters sitting on the stage, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of astonishment.
Lin Cheng, who was standing next to Lin Wuyou, keenly captured Lin Wuyou's emotional fluctuations, quickly turned his head and looked at her with concern.
"Third sister, what's wrong with you?" Lin Cheng asked with concern.
Lin Wuyou swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice, "I... I'm fine. I just saw two acquaintances in the stands. Let's continue watching the game."
"Oh." Lin Cheng responded and turned his gaze towards the stands. He saw various masters sitting in the stands, some with serious expressions, some with relaxed expressions, but without exception, they were all powerful people.
Lin Cheng looked at these people carefully and sighed in his heart, he was indeed worthy of being the final winner of the last martial arts conference. Unfortunately, he didn't know any of these people.
Lin Cheng quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the two warriors who were briefly introducing themselves on the arena - they were the protagonists of the upcoming competition.
The competition system of the Wulin Conference is unique. It does not require participants to register in advance. Anyone who has the courage to step onto the ring can participate in the competition.
