Liu Changrun's words also calmed Feng Xiao and Xia Chengkai. Indeed, as he had said, this was the fairest method. The test of one's temperament was a given; it was a fundamental quality every martial artist should possess. Only with composure could one go farther. If someone were eliminated for panicking and becoming ensnared within a formation, they would have no one to blame but themselves.
While Array Masters seemed to have an advantage, mastering formations was an endeavor that consumed a great deal of mental energy. This was why, at the same age, Array Masters were often weaker than martial artists who focused solely on cultivation. It was only natural that Array Masters, having traded time for knowledge of formations, should be able to use their ingenuity to break through them. Those martial artists immersed in cultivation could only resort to brute force, so their elimination would hardly be considered unfair.
