## Quest Description

After its reorganization, the Martial Federation from the pre-Cataclysm days started to hold new one-on-one tournaments. Although the current tournaments are not comparable to the old ones in terms of scale, many battle elites are still drawn in.

* The league is a balanced arena that allows Wanderers to compete at a similar level of basic stats to ensure fair play.
* The battlefield shrinks over time, so Wanderers need to watch their step while fighting their opponents.
* The arena is available at 12:00-24:00 daily. By the end of each season, rewards will be granted according to Wanderers' ranks. The higher the rank, the richer the reward. Become a legend on the battlefield!

## Battle Conditions

Battles adopt a point system where the Wanderer obtains 1 point by killing the opponent. The first to 2 points wins.

* Whenever the opponent dies, regardless of being defeated directly, falling, continuous damage, or other means, the Wanderer obtains a point.
* When the opponent dies, they resurrect at a random resurrection spot, with full HP, all negative statuses removed, and their damage increased by 25%.
* The Wanderer's location, HP, and statuses won't be reset when the opponent dies.

Each battle has a 5-minute countdown.

* Whoever obtains 2 points first within the 5 minutes wins.
* If no one obtains 2 points before the time runs out, then whoever has more points and remaining HP wins.
* During a battle, the battlefield shrinks every 75 seconds. Staying
