For that expert, the Jade Clear Sect naturally had no familiarity—they say the greatest masters reside among the common people, and there's certainly truth to that.
Many elite disciples regretted it endlessly, as they missed the opportunity to spar with such a master. Because of this, some disciples now entertained the thought of signing up for the tournament.
To be blunt, the essence of the Martial Arts Tournament lies in promoting a martial spirit; secondly, it serves to strengthen the body. When the tournament is held, visitors and travelers to the Immortal Mountain typically multiply compared to usual, making it more of an exhibition for outsiders rather than true contests. Most people, in fact, are inclined toward sightseeing over combat. If one misses this chance, they might have to wait months for another, and since this tradition doesn't seem to exist across the federation, missing out now might mean missing out forever. Hence, it's advised for everyone to stay and watch.
