Zhou Danjin hummed in agreement and continued, "As for why competing in the ranking competition became a prerequisite to enter this place. It was indeed because students from other academies also coveted these spiritual domains. After a series of negotiations, they decided to distribute the usage rights to these three spiritual domains through a fair competition between all the academies in the Six Prefectures."
"Henceforth, the top academies in the Six Prefectures joined hands to draft up the academy ranking competition, with these Blinsheet Island spiritual domains as the prize."
