Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr The next day, the first rays of the morning sun were gentle and fresh.
Today was a grand occasion for Tianchuan City. The master of Tianchuan City, the Ji Family, was holding a grand competition for the younger generation. It was also the selection of the next master of the Ji Family.
As the first ray of sunlight shone on the vast Tianchuan City, many figures appeared on the quiet streets of Tianchuan City.
Figures came from all directions of Tianchuan City and slowly walked towards the center of Tianchuan City.
That was the Tianchuan City Plaza, the place where every grand occasion was held, including this year's Ji Family Grand Competition.
The Ji Family, the master of Tianchuan City, had as many experts as there were clouds. There were also many experts among the younger generation.
Today, all of the younger generation of the Ji Family would be holding a motivational duel.
This kind of scene naturally caused the entire Tianchuan City to explode. …
Even many outsiders had rushed into Tianchuan City early in the morning, hoping to witness this grand occasion.
The morning breeze blew gently and the morning sun shone brightly. The few stars in the sky slowly disappeared along with the first rays of the morning sun.
"Huff …"
In the room, Du Shaofu withdrew his hand seal and the golden light on his body slowly disappeared. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air from his abdomen, shaking the air. He opened his eyes and a golden light suddenly surged out. A moment later, his eyes became clear again.
"I've almost recovered."
Du Shaofu felt everything in his body. The heavy injuries he had suffered back then were almost completely healed. Everything seemed to have returned to its peak condition. Even his martial way seemed to have improved a little, as if there were faint signs of a breakthrough.
"Crack …"
Du Shaofu stood up and stretched his body. The cracking sound of bones rubbing against each other could be heard from his body, filled with strength.
"Fu Dabai, today is the Ji Family Grand Competition. Accompany us."
Moments later, in the courtyard of the old mansion, Lil Wan said to Du Shaofu.
Looking at the resolute man before her, Lil Wan did not know when she had started to feel a deep trust in him.
"Okay."
Du Shaofu nodded, then said to Ji Zhiyan, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"You have to be more careful. If anything happens, don't stand up for me. After all, this is the Ji family. They have to be wary of me, but you're different."
Ji Zhiyan was worried about Du Shaofu. As for the Ji Family Tournament, she didn't care at all.
This time, she came back only for Uncle Lan, and also for the obsession in her heart that she couldn't let go of. Perhaps it was some thoughts in the bottom of her heart …
Moments later, many demonic beast mounts pulled many carriages and leaped out from the Ji residence. They traversed the streets of Tianchuan City, attracting many exclamations and gazes.
In a small carriage, only Ji Zhiyan, Du Shaofu, and Xiao Wan were seated. Through the curtains of the carriage, they looked at the densely packed figures on the streets. Xiao Wan couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise, and said, "There's really a lot of people on the streets, a sea of people."
"The Ji family is one of the great clans of Tianchuan City. The Ji Family Tournament is naturally lively."
Du Shaofu looked at the sea of people on the streets and smiled faintly.
No matter how lively the occasion was, he had already dominated it. To Du Shaofu, this kind of liveliness was naturally nothing to him.
Then, Du Shaofu looked at Ji Zhiyan and asked, "What are the rules and restrictions of the Ji Family Tournament?"
"All the younger generation of the Ji family can participate, including the collateral families of the Ji family. Because of the Ji Family Tournament, although the champion of each tournament will eventually become the next head of the Ji family, this is only an unwritten rule and tradition. There is no absolute certainty. Therefore, the closest relatives of the Ji family, as long as they are of the younger generation, can also participate," Ji Zhiyan said.
Du Shaofu's eyes moved. The Ji family was a great clan with many collateral families.
As for the daughters of the Ji family who married outside, their children were also considered close relatives of the Ji family and had the opportunity to participate in the tournament.
However, those with a different surname would not be able to win against the same generation of the Ji family unless they had a powerful backer, cultivation resources, and talent that surpassed the Ji family's.
"You want to participate in the tournament?" Du Shaofu asked Ji Zhiyan.
Ji Zhiyan nodded and smiled helplessly. She said, "With my cultivation level, I'm afraid I can't compete. Anyway, I don't care about the Ji Family Tournament."
"Have you ever thought that if you become the next head of the Ji family, everything will be different? At that time, you won't be controlled by others. Instead of being forced to deal with it, you might as well take the initiative to attack!" Du Shaofu looked at Ji Zhiyan and said seriously.
Ji Zhiyan's eyes moved. She looked at Du Shaofu and her eyes rippled. Then, she smiled faintly and said, "If my strength was enough, I would definitely compete. It's a pity that I'm not strong enough."
"Your talent is not weak. It's a pity that you don't have enough cultivation resources. If you had enough cultivation resources, I'm afraid you would already be above all your peers in the Ji family."
Du Shaofu said to Ji Zhiyan, "Today's Ji Family Tournament might have some unforeseen events at the end. It's not certain that the strongest will win. If you have the chance, will you fight for it?"
"For Uncle Lan, if there's a chance, I want to fight for it!"
Ji Zhiyan heard this and nodded slightly. After she finished speaking, she forced a beautiful smile.
Ji Zhiyan was very clear that the Ji Family Tournament was a competition of strength. Her cultivation level was only at the Great Circle of Six Stars. The gap was too big.
"You have to understand that you want to compete, not for Uncle Lan, but for yourself!"
Du Shaofu said seriously to Ji Zhiyan, "Uncle Lan is already dead. Although you must avenge him, you should do it for yourself."
"I am all alone in this world and have no desires. I don't care about the Ji family."
Ji Zhiyan looked at Du Shaofu. After a long time, she pulled the curtain of the carriage and looked at the crowd outside. She sat quietly in the carriage and did not speak.
"For the sake of protecting everything you want to protect in the future, for the sake of those by your side so that you won't end up like Uncle Lan, you must become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you protect everything by your side. You cannot let go of any opportunity to become stronger!"
Du Shaofu looked seriously at Ji Zhiyan. His voice was sharp as he said, "Even if you can take revenge against the Ji family this time, what about in the future? From what I know, that Fei Ying is related to the Hehuan School. She won't let you off easily. You still have Xiaowan and your maternal grandmother's family by your side. Are you willing to see them end up like Uncle Lan one day? At that time, you can only watch helplessly."
When these words fell into Ji Zhiyan's ears, her heart trembled violently. She turned to look at Du Shaofu, her eyes lifeless.
At this moment, the densely packed silhouettes outside the window and the bustling noises suddenly became nothingness in Ji Zhiyan's perception …
"I don't want to. I can't let Xiaowan and maternal grandmother's family come to any harm!"
Ji Zhiyan's heart was touched. Her voice trembled as she muttered softly, "But what can I do? I'm not strong enough. I don't want them to come to any harm, but I'm powerless …"
"Seize any opportunity to become stronger. The Ji family competition is your chance. Obtaining the imperial palace's Dragon Qi will greatly benefit you. If you become the head of the Ji family, you'll have a chance to protect yourself!"
Du Shaofu looked at Ji Zhiyan and said, "Whether or not there's a chance, you just have to work hard. That way, at least you won't regret it in the future."
"Big Brother Dabai, you're right. I want to become stronger. I want to protect everything by my side. Whether or not there's a chance, I just have to work hard. That way, at least I won't regret it in the future!"
Ji Zhiyan's eyes shone brightly. Her pearly white teeth bit her red lips as she looked at Du Shaofu and nodded.
Du Shaofu didn't say anything, but a slight smile appeared on his face.
Du Shaofu knew in his heart that he couldn't protect this girl forever. In the future, she could only rely on herself. Only when she became stronger would she be able to fear no one!
Tianchuan City was bustling with noise and liveliness.
The Ji family's carriage neared Tianchuan City's public square.
However, no one dared to obstruct the Ji family's carriage team. They all dispersed, and the Ji family's carriage team entered the public square's entrance in a single file.
Alighting from the carriage, the vast public square was awe-inspiring. The densely packed crowd made Du Shaofu narrow his eyes.
Around the square, there were many armored soldiers standing around. These were all from the seven empires controlled by the Ji family.
Following the Ji Family's entourage, Du Shaofu followed beside Ji Zhiyan and entered the main area of the plaza.
Sweeping his gaze, Du Shaofu saw many figures from the Ji family's main hall yesterday.
Among them, the finely-dressed youth that made Du Shaofu take a second look yesterday also appeared in Du Shaofu's sight.
Beside the finely-dressed youth was a woman in red. She had a graceful figure and exuded a charming aura. Judging from her back, she should also be an extremely beautiful woman.
"The imperial palace's dragon aura …"
In front of the Ji family's team, a young man in a dragon robe also attracted Du Shaofu's attention. That young man's body faintly emitted the imperial palace's dragon aura.
"It's the Ji family's eldest young master."
"The Ji family's young misses are also here."
As the Ji family's team approached, a commotion broke out around the public square. Discussions and cheers rose like a tide.
After sweeping his gaze around, Du Shaofu finally followed the Ji family's team to the high platform built at the public square's main area.
Looking down at the public square from above, he was even more shocked.
Everywhere Du Shaofu looked, there was a dense mass of human heads all around him.
There were fully armed soldiers maintaining order. The Ji family's grand competition couldn't tolerate any accidents.
