Wu Ming looked at the demon crystal, and his eyes were filled with joy.
The crystal was pure black and about the size of a thumb. It gave off a layer of lustrous light and contained a strong demonic aura. It was the favorite high-grade ingredient of all ghost-type Phantoms.
Moreover, it was the best material to stimulate ghost-type mutations for ordinary Phantoms!
"With Dongfang Jie's wealth, it's almost impossible for him to get this little bit of demon crystal …"
"That's right! His Phantom Wolf is also of the ghost-type. If it can swallow a demon crystal when it advances to soldier level, it'll greatly increase its demonic arts … This one is most likely a gift from Dongfang Ba. It's good to have the First Elder's support! "
Wu Ming glanced at the big bad wolf again.
By then, the big bad wolf had already broken into the Full Moon Rhino's lair. After causing a ruckus, it offered up a moonlight fruit in a fawning manner.
The fruit tree was pure white and glowed. There were holes on the edges of some of the fruits, which were obviously eaten by the Full Moon Rhino.
"The Full Moon Rhino condenses moonlight to feed this spirit plant. In turn, it can swallow the fruit to increase its own strength. It's a complementary relationship …"
Wu Ming took it and smiled indifferently. "You have a good life! Now that I have the demon crystal and the moonlight fruit … I can try a slightly more advanced guided mutation … "
He looked at the Dongfang Clan with a slightly gloomy gaze. "Dongfang Ba? Luo Geng? "
Dongfang Ba was the First Elder's favorite grandson. He might not be able to do anything to him at the moment. Even if he killed him with a sneak attack, he would have to flee immediately.
But Luo Geng was different. When he returned, he would make sure he got what he deserved!
…
Before he knew it, half a month had passed.
In Boulder City, a large crowd had gathered at the Dongfang Clan's colosseum.
Today was the day of the Dongfang Clan's minor competition!
The clan was proud of wolves and adopted an elimination system to nurture new talents. In every year's minor competition, the last place would be expelled from the clan! This was to encourage the new talents to improve.
Of course, this was also the best stage for all clansmen to display themselves. The first place would be rewarded handsomely. Not only would there be prizes worth tens of thousands of spirit coins, but the right to enter the clan's treasury and choose any treasure!
"Greetings, First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder!"
The Great Elder of the Dongfang Clan, Dongfang Ying, the Second Elder of the Dongfang Clan, Dongfang Xiong, and the Elder of the Hall of Penal Law, Dongfang Tie, entered one after another.
"Strange! Why hasn't Shuo Ming arrived yet? "
Dongfang Die Yu wore a red dress, and her spirited eyes swept across the stage. She had a disappointed expression on her face. "If you don't arrive on time, you will be directly disqualified. The repercussions are too great!"
Due to the fact that the last person would be punished by the clan's discipline and be directly expelled from the clan, the Minor Competition used a system of continuous battles and elimination. Not only did the victors have to compete against each other, but even the losers had to go through continuous battles so that they would not be beaten to the end.
This opening was extremely important. If they lost one round, they would be sent to another place. They would have to struggle bitterly and their ranking would not be any better.
Moreover, the ranking was related to the family's future investment in grooming!
Dongfang Tie silently shook his head as he stared at his granddaughter. Fortunately, Dongfang Shuoming was also a member of the Dongfang Family and wouldn't go so far as to scam Die Yu. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have to help count the money even if she was sold.
"Ah Ming!"
Dongfang Die Yu anxiously searched around. Suddenly, she saw a youth walking through the gate, and her eyes lit up. She jogged forward and rebuked, "I heard that you were training alone in the Starry Moon Lake. I was so worried!"
"Sorry!"
Wu Ming smiled apologetically. "I ran into some trouble and was slightly delayed …"
He was not some hero from the television shows in his previous life who liked to only appear at the most dangerous moments. This time, he really had been delayed by something.
As for what it was? Naturally, it was because the big gray wolf had advanced again.
'The Starry Firefly Mountain Range is indeed a land of treasures! Of course, I have to thank the two boys who delivered these treasures! '
Wu Ming's gaze swept across the area. Indeed, he saw that Luo Ming was extremely shocked and had a look of hatred on his face.
"Hehe … Ah Ming, my Frost Wolf has already advanced to the mid-tier!"
Beside his ear, Dongfang Die Yu was extremely happy. She rambled on, "In the entire Dongfang Family, only Dongfang Ba and a few others can compare to me! If you meet me, you have to be careful! "
Dongfang Die Yu's Phantom Spirit was an Outstanding Breed. It was born with two racial bonuses. Its mid-tier strength was equivalent to the peak of an Ordinary Breed! It was similar to the Moongazer Rhinoceros from before!
Wu Ming had worked hard for a month to raise the big gray wolf to its peak, but it was only at this level!
It had to be said that people could not be compared to each other. The gap between them was enough to make one vomit blood, and the difficulty of catching up was enough to make one despair!
"Then I'll look forward to cousin's performance!"
However, Wu Ming was different. He only smiled faintly. In his heart, he was still cursing this careless cousin of his for changing his name without permission.
"Brother Shuo Ming, we meet again!"
Dongfang Yunhe and Dongfang Hong Yan came over and greeted him. "Brother Shuo Ming has cultivated bitterly for so long. It seems like you've gained a lot … Since we meet today, please go easy on us …"
They were the seeds of the Hall of Beheadings and Executions. Together with Dongfang Die Yu and Dongfang Shuo Ming, they had formed a small group. Dongfang Song's face was dark as he wandered around the edges.
There were two other groups like this present. One was led by Dongfang Ba and had the most people. The other was led by the Second Elder, and there was a clear distinction between them.
"The Dongfang Family's elders seem to want to support me. Seeing this situation … they want to compete in secret and discover new talents?"
Seeing this, Wu Ming sighed inwardly. As long as there were people, there would be factions. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
This kind of competition was also an opportunity for him.
…
"Hehe … There are so many new talents in this year's Family Competition!"
Although Dongfang Ying was already over eighty years old, he still looked like a middle-aged man. As the pillar of the Dongfang Family and a Spirit Master who controlled the general-grade Nether Wolf, he had received the Nether Wolf's attribute nourishment. His eyes were dark green, and he looked like a wild wolf, which gave him a different kind of charm.
"Not at all! Ba 'er grew up with us. Now that we've met, he's also a dragon among men. Who else can get first but him? "
Dongfang Xiong and Dongfang Tie both laughed.
The Dongfang Family was different from the other families. They did not have a Clan Leader, but rather three elders. However, Dongfang Ying was a general-grade Spirit Master, so he naturally had more authority.
'Hmph! Two old foxes! '
Dongfang Ying coldly harrumphed in his heart, but on the surface, he laughed happily, "Ba Sun's talent is only average. This year's Family Competition is filled with elites. Dongfang Shuwen, for example, has contracted a Distinguished Breed, the Three-Eyed Stone Monkey. If he becomes a general-grade Spirit Master in the future, he might be able to create another Spirit Inheritance for the Dongfang Family … And that girl Dia Wu, her Frost Wolf has already become a mid-grade Spirit Master, right? Her potential is also extraordinary, and she has great potential … "
These two people were the leaders of other groups. If there were no accidents, the top three of the Family Competition would be between them and Dongfang Ba.
After all, the bonus of a Distinguished Breed was just too terrifying.
Dongfang Tie snorted with a smile that did not reach his eyes, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Dongfang Shuoming, "This kid's battle talent is shocking. Dongfang Ao's report has many praises for him. To be able to make Dongfang Ao like this, he must be incredible … perhaps the only variable in this year's Family Competition is this kid!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following the sound of cannons being fired, the youths in the arena became extremely nervous.
In the spectator stands, many members of the Dongfang Family also sat down.
"It's starting! It's starting! "
Dongfang Yue's eyes lit up, "The betting tables have already been opened outside, and every disciple of the family has a chance to bet! However, Dongfang Ba and the others are too boring, and the payout is too low. I've already bet 5000 spirit coins on Dongfang Shuoming, betting that he will enter the top 10! 1 to 15!!! … Haha! These idiots outside, they actually dare to bet that he won't be last, and that the family's name will be preserved. The payout is 1 to 2! "
She laughed hysterically, as if she could already see the scene of countless spirit coins being thrown at her. Seeing that Dongfang Ao's expression did not change, she could not help but be confused, "You, you clearly know that kid's strength, so why aren't you reacting at all?"
"You're too petty!"
Dongfang Ao's expression was cold, and he waved the wager in his hand, "I'll bet all my wealth that he will enter the top 5!"
… …
"The competition has begun! First round! Dongfang Shuoming versus Luo Geng! "
The emcee was surprised for a moment, and then he announced loudly.
"Hmm?! I'm going to fight in the first round? "
Wu Ming sneered in his heart, "My opponent is Luo Geng, so he must have done something. But this is good! There are many casualties in the family competition, and this is a good opportunity for revenge! "
As an outstanding disciple among the servants, Luo Geng was naturally qualified to fight in the competition.
This was actually a form of insurance! In the past few family competitions, most of the people who came in last were these servants. Of course, if some of the family members went too far, then there was nothing much to say.
In the eyes of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Shuoming who had contracted a gray wolf was undoubtedly such a person.
Thus, when he entered the arena, he was the center of attention.
"Hehe … Dongfang Shuoming!"
Opposite him, Luo Geng crossed his arms and said in a low voice that only he and Wu Ming could hear, "I don't know how you were lucky enough to escape from Brother Jie Ao, but now, you have nowhere to run! I will kill that gray wolf of yours in front of everyone, and you will be kicked out of the Dongfang Family! "
"Idiot!"
For this kind of person, Wu Ming had nothing to say. After the command to start the fight was issued, he immediately released his Phantom.
"Huh?"
Below the arena, everyone who had seen Wu Ming's mid-tier gray wolf changed their expressions.
This was because the Gray Wolf that had appeared in the arena was slightly slender, and it was slightly smaller than the Intermediate Gray Wolf.
"Oh no! Did Dongfang Shuoming not feed the gray wolf enough? "
In the audience, Dongfang Yue covered her eyes with her hands.
"The aura is only mid-tier juvenile … but …"
Dongfang Ao frowned deeply.
