According to the Imperial tradition, the knights' tournament is conducted in a melee fashion.
A hundred knights battle each other in the vast arena until only the last ten riders remain on horseback, with rankings from 10th to 2nd determined by the number of knockdowns.
The first contestant to complete "ten knockdowns" becomes the champion of the knights' tournament, but if someone knocks the champion off his horse before the competition ends, they will replace him as the new champion; otherwise, the former champion loses qualification for the competition.
Luo Yan felt that this rule was actually quite interesting, as it divided "champion" and "top ten" into two different tracks.
Theoretically, if one is not chasing the championship, just surviving to the end can also earn a ranking.
However, if one aims for the championship, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to achieve victory.
As for the reason—
In single combat, mortals stand no chance against transcendent beings.
