"Presently, his strength is the strongest amongst the younger generation of our Zhang Clan, and this is something I can't deny. But below him, the strongest is Yuan-er... This point, you shouldn't deny it, right? "
The middle-aged woman looked to her husband, the Zhang Family's Clan Chief, and asked.
The Zhang Clan Leader nodded.
"With his cultivation, it isn't difficult for him to advance in the Dynasty Martial Competition this time and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … But Yuan 'er is different!"
"Unless Yuan is able to consume this Spirit Void Fruit and break through to the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage … Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to advance in the Dynasty Martial Competition and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties."
The woman spoke bluntly.
"And then?"
The Zhang Clan Leader asked.
"Then, I felt that giving the Spirit Void Fruit to him was really a waste! Because no matter if he consumed the Spirit Void Fruit or not, he would be able to advance in the Dynasty Martial Competition and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties. "
The woman continued. "Whereas if Yuan didn't have this Spirit Void Fruit, it would be utterly impossible for him to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties … As far as I'm concerned, using a Spirit Void Fruit to exchange for an additional spot for our Zhang Clan to advance into the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties is a good thing."
Duan Lingtian stood at the side with a mocking smile on his face.
For the sake of her own son, this evil woman had really put in a lot of effort. She even dared to say such things.
In Duan Lingtian's opinion, the evil woman's words were all bullsh * t!
Even if the Spirit Void Fruit was consumed by her own son and her son obtained the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, then wouldn't he still be at the bottom?
At that time, the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties would begin, and he would probably be eliminated in the first round.
If the Spirit Void Fruit was consumed by Zhang Shouyong, Zhang Shouyong would even have the chance to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties!
"However, it isn't so easy to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage … I wonder what level Big Brother Zhang's Earth Concept is at now."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Zhang Shouyong, who was standing beside Duan Lingtian, had a calm expression from beginning to end, as if everything that was happening before him had nothing to do with him.
In next to no time, the Zhang Clan's Patriarch spoke.
What he said was undoubtedly what Duan Lingtian was thinking.
"… This Spirit Void Fruit is sufficient to affect Yong'er's performance in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties! If he's able to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties, he might even have the chance to compete for the first in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties. "
The words of the Zhang Clan Leader resounded in the air.
First in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties!
What kind of glory was that?
"You said 'if' as well … Even if he's able to break through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage in a short period of time by relying on this Spirit Void Fruit, how could the Void Interpretation Stage be so easy to break through? Even if in the remaining year or so, his increase in Origin Power satisfies the conditions, but what about his comprehension of concepts? "
The woman spoke with certainty and didn't fall into a disadvantageous position. "The Void Interpretation Concept isn't so easy to comprehend … Some Void Initiation Stage martial artists were only at the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage in their entire lifetimes because they were unable to comprehend the Void Interpretation Concept."
Void Interpretation Concept was also called Intermediate Concept, and it reigned above the Elementary Concept that Void Initiation Stage martial artists generally comprehended.
Above the ninth level of Elementary Concept was the first level of Intermediate Concept.
If one wanted to comprehend it, then one needed extremely high comprehension ability.
"Hmph!"
The Zhang Clan Leader grunted in a low voice. "Then you're confident that after Yuan'er consumes the Spirit Void Fruit, he'll surely be able to advance in the Dynasty Martial Competition and obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties and bring honor to our Zhang Clan?"
"If you're confident, then what harm is there in giving this Spirit Void Fruit to Yuan'er?"
When the Zhang Clan Leader spoke up to here.
The woman's face bloomed with a smile of victory, and she glanced at Zhang Shou Yong with slight complacency.
But in next to no time, the smile on her face froze.
Because the Zhang Clan Leader hadn't finished speaking.
"But, if Yuan'er is unable to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties after consuming the Spirit Void Fruit … Then I'll punish him and make him have no fate with the position of the next Patriarch of the Zhang Clan for his entire lifetime!"
The following words of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch resounded in the air.
It caused the woman and the nearby Zhang Shou Yuan to go gloomy.
Never had they imagined that the Zhang Clan's Patriarch would speak such words.
The position of the next Patriarch of the Zhang Clan!
If nothing unexpected happened, it would surely be Zhang Shou Yuan.
Because Zhang Shou Yong had clearly indicated since long ago that he wasn't interested in becoming the next Patriarch of the Zhang Clan.
Otherwise, Zhang Shou Yong would have already become the inheritor of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch.
It could be said that Zhang Shou Yong wouldn't fight for the position of Patriarch with his second brother, Zhang Shou Yuan.
"Mother! I don't want that Spirit Void Fruit, I don't want it! "
Zhang Shou Yuan panicked and hurriedly sent a voice transmission into the woman's ears.
What a joke!
Because his older brother, Zhang Shou Yong, wasn't interested in the position of the next Patriarch of the Zhang Clan, even though it hadn't been officially announced, everyone knew that it would surely be him.
Now, because of a Spirit Void Fruit, he might even lose the chance to inherit the position of Patriarch of the Zhang Clan, so he was naturally unwilling.
He wasn't willing to gamble with the position of Patriarch of the Zhang Clan!
Because even if he consumed the Spirit Void Fruit and broke through to the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage before the Dynasty Martial Competition, he didn't have full confidence in being able to seize the qualifications to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
On the other hand, the woman's expression went completely grim.
She never imagined that her husband would actually use this to threaten them …
She gritted her teeth and kept on feeling unwilling.
"I think that the ownership of the Spirit Void Fruit should be decided by a vote of all the elders of our Zhang Clan …"
The woman changed the topic and said with a low voice, "No matter if it's him or Yuan 'er that consumes the Spirit Void Fruit, it's all a gamble … Then, on what basis should he have the priority?"
On what basis?!
The woman's words were extremely clear.
Let all the elders of the Zhang Clan vote.
"Enough!"
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch finally couldn't endure it any longer when he saw his wife giving orders like this, and he shouted out angrily with a gloomy expression.
It terrified the woman to the point she shut her mouth.
But right at this moment, Zhang Shou Yong who hadn't spoken since the beginning spoke out. "Father, since Second Mother is interested in allowing all the elders to vote to decide the ownership of the Spirit Void Fruit, then let the elders do it."
Zhang Shou Yong spoke out abruptly and spoke these words.
For a time, it wasn't only the Zhang Clan's Patriarch that was stunned, even the woman and Zhang Shou Yuan were stunned.
They never imagined that Zhang Shou Yong would agree.
"Big Brother Zhang …"
Duan Lingtian was dumbstruck as well.
The situation before him was obviously beneficial to his Big Brother Zhang, yet why did he start digging his own grave instead?
He was unable to wrap his head around it.
He was truly unable to wrap his head around it.
"As expected of the Eldest Young Master of our Zhang Clan, you have courage … I'll get someone to invite the elders over right now."
The woman's face bloomed with a smile of victory as her eyes flickered with a bright light, and she left the hall with large strides to instruct the servants that were standing on guard outside the hall.
So long as all the elders of the Zhang Clan gathered together, she was confident in making most of the elders lean towards her son's side.
After all, her son was the future Patriarch of the Zhang Clan.
Under a similar situation, she wasn't worried that her son would lose to Zhang Shou Yong in the voting of all the elders of the Zhang Clan.
"Yong, you …"
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch frowned and had a puzzled expression.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian looked at Zhang Shou Yong with a puzzled expression and asked. "Big Brother Zhang, if you didn't take the initiative to agree earlier, the Spirit Void Fruit would already be yours … Doing this is truly irrational."
"Since this Second Mother of yours dares to make such a request, she surely has the confidence to make most of the elders of the Zhang Clan lean towards her son."
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be worried for Zhang Shou Yong.
What he was unable to wrap his head around the most was that Zhang Shou Yong had actually taken the initiative to agree to the unreasonable request of that vile woman.
After all, under the rage of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch earlier, the vile woman already didn't dare speak.
The Spirit Void Fruit was about to become Zhang Shou Yong's possession.
But at the critical moment, Zhang Shou Yong seemed as if he'd thrown out a rope to trip himself, and it truly caused others to be slightly speechless.
"Brother Ling Tian, if I don't agree to Second Mother's request, then even if she doesn't say anything because of my father's rage, she won't be truly willing … This time, I'll make her completely give up!"
Strands of terrifying bright lights flickered in the depths of Zhang Shou Yong's eyes as he replied via voice transmission.
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
He never imagined that it turned out that all this was Zhang Shou Yong's scheme.
Zhang Shou Yong had obviously grasped everything in the palm of his hand.
"Looks like Big Brother Zhang already has full confidence. Then I'll wait and see, and prepare to watch the show."
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief.
"It'll be a good show … It absolutely won't disappoint you."
Zhang Shou Yong replied.
"I look forward to it very much."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Along with the passage of time, the Zhang Clan Audience Hall that originally only had five people became completely bustling with noise and excitement.
It wasn't only the group of elders that stayed behind in the Zhang Clan Estate, even the elders that were in charge of the various properties of the Zhang Clan in the Capital had all returned.
Thirty-seven elders were gathered in one place.
Amongst them, a small half were middle aged men, and practically all the remaining were old men.
A few even had white hair and white brows, and they were obviously over 100 years old.
However, because their cultivations were profound, all of them were in high spirits.
"Patriarch, is there something important that made us return?"
In next to no time, a Zhang Clan elder asked.
The Zhang Clan's Patriarch spoke of the sequence of events in detail when he heard this, and he didn't hold back in the slightest.
For a time, all the Zhang Clan elders understood the reason they were asked to return.
"In this way, there's only a single Spirit Void Fruit … Yet it has to be chosen between the Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master to consume it."
The group of elders started sizing up Zhang Shou Yong and Zhang Shou Yuan with their gazes.
It was as if they were selecting goods.
This caused Duan Lingtian who stood at the side to be speechless.
But Zhang Shou Yong instead had an expressionless face, and he seemed as if he utterly didn't take everything that had occurred before him seriously, and he was composed to the point it was shocking.
"I think that the possibility of the Second Young Master obtaining the qualifications to compete in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties is greater than the Eldest Young Master breaking through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the competition."
