Zhi Hui nodded, "That is correct, Junior Brother. They have no cultivators at the Initiation Realm, which is why their battles are fought exclusively between Manifestation Realm cultivators. This is bit of a advantage for them..
You see, there is a special rule governing these battles. If one side wins all the Initiation Realm matches and their final Initiation Realm cultivator is still standing and willing to fight, they are granted the opportunity to challenge one of their opponent's Manifestation Realm cultivators.
This is precisely what makes Junior Sister Xiu's participation so important. The Manifestation Realm cultivator must suppress their cultivation to the Early Stage of the Manifestation Realm when fighting an Initiation Realm cultivator...a gap which is still insurmountable for Initiation Realm cultivators, but not so much for Junior Sister Xiu, as she can hold her own against such opponents.
