Spirit Stele
Wng Lei was purposefully making trouble. Everyone was here, but now he wanted them all to leave. He was clearly trying to humiliate the Wu Family.
"It's indeed a bit of a waste of time."
The Liu Family Head smiled and nodded. Not long ago, he'd worked with the Wu Family Head to force City Lord Lin to decide the city lord's position based on the younger generation.
However, that didn't mean the two families were on good terms. They were simply united in the face of profit.
The smaller families watching from both sides knew that the relationships between the two families weren't as harmonious as they seemed on the surface. They couldn't help but look over, curious to hear how the Wu Family Head was going to break this stalemate.
Wei Jie and the Skyspan Trading Company's administrator remained silent. The conflict between the two families had nothing to do with them.
"City Lord, Liu Family Head, please calm down."
The head of the Wu Family, who was sitting in the middle, smiled. He was a little chubby, and when he smiled, the flesh on his face trembled.
"We also know that following the rules of the previous competitions would be a waste of everyone's time. Everyone's time is precious, and it's not easy for you to participate in our Wu Family's competition. How could we possibly waste your time? For this competition, the Wu Family will forgo the previous one-on-one rules and adopt a new one. "
"Then how does the Wu Family Head intend to compete this time?" Wng Lei arched his brows and smiled.
"Please wait a moment."
In the center of the arena, countless Wu Family descendants rubbed their fists and palms, eagerly staring at the other clansmen around them. If this was like the previous competitions, they would all be enemies.
Wu Di stood in the corner of the crowd. He didn't have a good relationship with the Wu family, whether it was the direct line of descent or the collateral line. It was only when Zheng Yunan was by his side that he didn't feel so lonely.
In the center of the younger generation stood a young man who was like the moon surrounded by stars. He was surrounded by young people, and it was obvious that he was the leader.
This was the Wu Family Head's son, Wu Qiang. Most of the people around him were direct descendants.
"Big Brother Qiang, that brat Wu Di is here too. Should we teach him a lesson?"
The one who spoke was Li Wanlong's son, Li Kai. No one knew what Li Wanlong had fed his son, but his injuries, which would have taken him three months to recover, were all healed before the Clan Grand Competition.
"There's no need for that. Someone will take care of a small fry like him. My only enemy in this tournament is him …"
His eyes looked into the distance, and coincidentally, a pair of eyes also looked at him.
"Wu Hai."
The owner of that gaze smiled at Wu Qiang before withdrawing his gaze. This person was none other than Wu Hai, one of the most popular members of the Wu Clan.
Not only was Wu Hai handsome, his talent was also very high. Half a year ago, he had already entered immortality. No one knew how strong he was now. He was also a thorn in Wu Qiang's side in this competition.
Before the competition, Wu Qiang's father had found him and told him that the winner of this competition would be given a Condensing Immortal Pill. This pill could increase the chances of a Entering Immortal expert breaking through to Human Immortal by more than 20%.
In terms of cultivation, he might not be able to beat Wu Hai, but the branch family members spent most of their time adventuring in secret realms. In terms of fighting, it would be very difficult for him to beat Wu Hai.
He was determined to get his hands on this pill, but Wu Hai was like a ferocious tiger blocking his way.
However, his father had said that he would have an absolute advantage in this competition. He just didn't know how this competition would go.
"Brother Hai, look at Wu Qiang. He's very afraid of you."
The side family members also sneered. Wu Hai was dressed in a white robe, like an elegant young master. His every movement attracted the attention of the surrounding girls.
"He … he's just a piece of trash who's been given pills. But we can't let our guard down. Who knows if his old man leaked any information to him in advance?"
Wu Hai was very disdainful of people like Wu Qiang, who'd used pills to forcibly raise their strength.
"The only person in this clan that I can take seriously is Zheng Yunan. Unfortunately, she won't be participating."
"Sister Nan won't be participating?"
The surrounding branch family descendants arched their brows. Wu Hai realized that he'd misspoken. He smiled faintly and didn't bring up the matter again.
"How about it? The competition is right around the corner. Are you nervous?"
Zheng Yunan smiled warmly from the corner. However, the strange thing was that she was wearing women's clothes today. She looked like a young lady about to get married.
She gently rested her chin on her hand and looked at the silent Wu Di. She smiled serenely.
"A little, I guess." Wu Di wanted to say some harsh words, but with so many family clans watching, he didn't dare. "Why are you wearing that?" he asked. "It'll be very inconvenient to fight like this."
"Me …. Heh, you don't need to worry about that. Just focus on your own competition."
A woman's heart was like a needle in a haystack. Wu Di couldn't figure out why Zheng Yunan would wear such clothes on such an important day. Right now, his entire focus was on the competition. Whether it was for himself, for his mother, or to not disappoint his master, he couldn't lose!
At this moment, a horse carriage arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Practice Field. All of the Wu Family's heirs turned to look at it.
"This …. Despicable!"
There was a stone tablet atop the carriage. When he saw it, Wu Hai's handsome face turned ashen. In contrast, when Wu Qiang saw the tablet, his face lit up with delight.
"It's actually a spirit tablet! Family Head Wu, you really are generous."
When the stone tablet appeared, the Skyspan Trading Company's executive smiled. The surrounding family clans froze.
A spirit tablet.
If you infused it with spiritual energy, you'd be able to see the person's strength. Spirit tablets couldn't be faked, so it was an accurate way to measure one's strength.
However, they were expensive to build, and could only be seen in the Profound Great District and above. Families that possessed them were at least peak-level clans.
"If I'm not mistaken, this tablet seems to belong to the Profound Great District's Cai Family. I made it myself, so I have a vague impression of it. "
"Executive Guo is correct. For the sake of this competition, our Wu Family specially borrowed this tablet from the Cai Family."
Family Head Wu's voice brimmed with pride. The surrounding family heads froze.
To be able to borrow a precious treasure like the Spirit Stele was a clear indication that the relationship between the Wu Family and the Cai Family was no small matter.
The fact that the Wu Family didn't produce any earth or sky immortals already made quite a few families itch to replace him. Now, however, with the Profound Great District's Cai Family's connection, they had to think twice before dealing with the Wu Family.
Not just dealing with them, but the position of city lord ….
