Some things exist not as they initially did.
After tens of thousands of years of evolution, the Silver Teeth Clan's ritual battles had transformed into ceremonies honoring the ancestors.
Since it was a ceremony, compared to the past, it naturally became softer, even if it related to the succession issue of the clan leader, rarely involving fierce battles.
However, now, Lotcar and Kai Bu fought almost fist to flesh, blade to blood, without any intention of stopping before causing real damage.
Near the platform, all members of the Silver Teeth Clan watched the fight with unblinking eyes.
In such an intense fight, a momentary lapse by any of them could result in immediate defeat.
They were afraid to miss any detail that could determine the outcome.
But this level of competition also reminded the members of the Silver Teeth Clan of a contest that had taken place seven years earlier.
That day, Lotcar and Kai Bu had been just as fiercely engaged, trading punches and blood.
