"Humph, with me here, they won't have the chance to show off!" Xiao Chen said with a disdainful look.
The two of them chatted as they walked. They had been busy the entire day and felt hungry, so they went to have dinner together. Then, they returned to Mu Sen's courtyard. Xiao Chen went back and chatted with the girls for a while. He described what had happened today and then entered a dual cultivation state.
On the other side, Jia Huoyan and Jia Tuyao didn't sleep for the whole night. Once they returned to the yard, they called their father and other powerful helpers over, gathered in Jia Tuyao's room, and secretly discussed something. The door of the room was tightly closed for the whole night.
It was not until an hour before the competition began that they hurriedly came out of the room. Fortunately, they were all warriors, so it wouldn't be a problem even if they didn't sleep all night.
The Jia family's martial arts practice field was usually used for the Jia family's guards to train. In addition to patrolling and guarding, they would also come here to train with each other.
As for the direct descendants and collateral descendants, they all had their own training places in their own residences, so they usually disdained to come here to train with the guards.
Before eight o 'clock in the morning, the martial arts practice field was already crowded with onlookers. These people knew that the family's disciples would compete here today, so they all wanted to join in the fun. Some even wondered if they could learn one or two moves by the way.
The direct descendants and collateral descendants also arrived at the martial arts practice field before eight o 'clock, and stood in front of Jia Jinyan with the external experts, patiently waiting for the competition to begin.
"Now that everyone is here, I will announce the rules of the competition!" Jia Jinyan sat on a high platform with a computer in front of him. He looked around at the people in the middle of the martial arts practice field and said in a deep voice, "Today's competition is divided into several parts, including the internal competition of the family and the external competition. The first part in the morning is the internal competition."
After a short pause, Jia Jinyan continued, "The internal competition is divided into individual lot-drawing competition and challenge competition. The first one is the individual lot-drawing competition. The direct descendants and collateral descendants will fight together, and the winner will get one point, and the loser will not get any points. After the first round of competition, all the winners will be mixed together, and the lot-drawing competition will be held again. The scoring system will remain the same, understand? "
"Understood!"
Everyone below the stage shouted in unison. However, Jia Renzhong's voice was a bit shaky. His strength was not that great, so he was a bit afraid. If his luck was bad and he was matched against a direct descendant, then he could only admit defeat.
Jia Jinyan nodded his head and said, "This competition is an individual competition within the family. Only direct descendants and collateral descendants are allowed to participate in the competition. Outsiders are not allowed to provide any help. Anyone who violates the rules will be disqualified!"
Jia Jinyan glanced around with dignity. He signaled his trusted aide to press a few keys, then stood up, pointed to the screen behind him and said loudly, "Next, we'll start drawing lots immediately. The drawing mechanism relies on the computer, and the results are completely random. The opponent will be displayed on the big screen. Now, you can start warming up!"
Everyone agreed and dispersed, each doing their own warm-up exercises. However, their eyes were all fixed on the big screen, and a few of them almost bumped into each other.
The big screen soon showed the list of the first round's matchups. The first match was between Jia Renzhong and Jia Shou Chi, the second was between Jia Tuyao and Jia Quu Chi, the third was between Jia Huoyan and Jia Rijing, and the fourth was between Jia Musen and Jia Shilei.
Xiao Chen looked at the big screen, then turned to Jia Musen and said with a smile, "You and Jia Renzhong have good luck. The opponents you drew are all weak chickens. It seems that you don't need my help in the first round of competition."
"Actually …" Jia Musen's expression was quite helpless, "In fact, I'm not that powerful. The cultivation resources of my Jia family are all controlled by my two uncles, Jia Yutou and Jia Yubian. Since I was pushed out of the circle of direct descendants of the Jia family, even my cultivation resources have been greatly reduced. Therefore, although Jia Huoyan and Jia Tuyao have already reached the level of Martial King, I'm still stuck at the level of General."
"So, those collateral descendants may be more powerful than you?" Xiao Chen frowned. This situation was a bit out of his expectation. Originally, he did not want to use his mental power to control others too frequently, but it seemed that he had no choice but to use it!
"That's not necessarily true." Jia Musen glanced at the few collateral descendants who had gathered together and said indifferently, "Before I left the Jia Clan, it was more than enough to deal with those collateral descendants who came to find trouble. Even if they had more cultivation resources, they only had one more year of accumulation than me. I reckon that their strength would at most be on par with mine."
Xiao Chen pondered for a while. When he was about to reply, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man jump onto the ring in the middle of the martial arts arena. It was Uncle Gui, Jia Jinyan's trusted follower. He was the referee appointed to arbitrate this competition.
Uncle Gui glanced around and said loudly, "The first round of competition is about to begin. Participants Jia Renzhong and Jia Shou Lei, please come onto the stage!"
The arena immediately quieted down. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two people.
After hearing the instructions, Jia Shou Lei did a beautiful somersault and jumped onto the ring. The guards who were watching from the outside saw that his appearance was very eye-catching and couldn't help but applaud.
Jia Shou Lei proudly cupped his hands towards the surrounding people, then gave Jia Renzhong a provocative look.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Chen almost burst into tears from laughing. "This joker, does he think he is performing on the streets? Is he going to say after the fight that those who have money will support the stage and those who don't have money will support the stage? "
On the other side, Jia Renzhong conformed to the rules. He seemed to be a little nervous as he carefully walked onto the ring. He subconsciously glanced at Jia Musen.
Jia Musen nodded at him encouragingly. Jia Renzhong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he walked towards Uncle Gui.
"Participants are in position. Both of you, please listen carefully. In this competition, no killing moves are allowed. As long as your opponent is knocked unconscious or knocked off the ring, you will win! If one party voluntarily admits defeat, then the other party is not allowed to attack without permission. Otherwise, you will be disqualified! "Uncle Gui warned with a solemn expression.
Jia Renzhong and Jia Shou Lei nodded, indicating that they understood. Uncle Gui shouted, "Competition begins!" and quickly retreated far away.
The two of them took a stance and circulated their mental cultivation techniques. They revealed their strength and confronted each other. Impressively, they were both experts of the ninth layer of the Martial General realm.
Jia Shou Lei was slightly startled. It was obvious that he was surprised that Jia Renzhong had the same strength as him. Therefore, he didn't rush to attack. Instead, he stood there and prepared to remain still.
"Ha!" Jia Renzhong, on the other hand, was a little impatient. With a loud shout, he rushed towards Jia Shou Lei and swung his palm towards his shoulder.
