If there wasn't any new blood, or if the new blood wasn't vigorous enough, then the blow to a family would be extremely severe!
The younger generation represented the future of a family. It was the most important guarantee of a family's potential!
Back then, how did the Gu family leap from the bottom of the rankings to the third ranked family in a single leap?
The reason was very simple. Tao Nianyan had used iron-blooded methods to forcibly raise the strength of the entire family's younger generation, completely unlocking their potential.
It was also because of this that the Gu family's potential had risen to an unprecedented level. After that, it was the family's elites. The increase in their strength had allowed them to become the third ranked family.
Although there were other factors involved, the Gu family's rise in status was inextricably linked to the increase in strength.
If the Gu family was a skyscraper, then the family's core experts were equivalent to the main body of the skyscraper. It was the most direct way to see whether a family was strong or not.
And the new blood of the younger generation was equivalent to the cornerstone of the skyscraper. Without the cornerstone, no matter how tall the skyscraper was, it would still face the risk of collapse at any time.
Without a doubt, the Yin-Yang Academy was an excellent place to nurture the family's top geniuses.
This place had a huge amount of resources, powerful teachers, and an excellent cultivation environment. Being able to enter the Yin-Yang Academy meant that the future of the family's geniuses was guaranteed. As long as there were no accidents, one day in the future, this family's genius would definitely become an expert.
However, Di Ruolin had stripped the Xiao family of their hundred year trial.
This also meant that from now on, for the next hundred years, no matter how strong the Xiao family's geniuses were, they would not be able to enter the Yin-Yang Academy to cultivate.
This was an extremely serious blow. In the next hundred years, the Xiao family's competitiveness would be greatly reduced compared to the other families.
It was even possible that they would be kicked out of the eight great families in the near future.
However, there was more than one super sect in the Hundred Chuan Region. Although Di Ruolin's punishment was very heavy, it didn't completely block off their path.
If he wanted to exterminate them, he could completely ban the Xiao family from participating in any sect's selection.
Although the four great sects didn't interfere with each other, their relationship was still very good.
Moreover, with Di Ruolin's future potential, it was very likely that other sects would give him face.
After all, in the eyes of the four sects, the Eight Great Clans were nothing at all. Banning a mere Xiao Clan was nothing to them.
However, compared to the other three sects, Yin-Yang Academy's entry requirements were obviously the lowest!
As for the other sects, their entry requirements were quite harsh. Over the years, there were many people who wanted to enter the other sects, but those who succeeded were few and far between.
However, this didn't mean that the Yin Yang Academy was on a lower level than them. Instead, it was because they had different philosophies when it came to recruiting geniuses. The other three sects focused on their own observation, while the Yin-Yang Academy focused on selection.
If he wanted to attract the attention of the other three sects, his strength and talent had to reach a heaven-defying level.
However, the probability of this happening was still too low.
"Xiao Luo, do you have any objections to my judgment?"
Even though Di Ruolin knew that his actions had sent the Xiao Clan into an irrecoverable state, there was no sympathy in his eyes. He didn't even feel the slightest bit of emotion.
Xiao Luo raised his head numbly and replied in a dull voice, "I have no objections."
"Very good!"
The corners of Di Ruolin's mouth finally curled up into a smile. He was obviously satisfied with Xiao Luo's answer. He waved his hand and said, "Since the members of the Xiao Clan have all been eliminated, you can leave now."
"Yes!"
Xiao Luo nodded and turned around to walk slowly towards the academy's main gate.
"Wait."
Suddenly, Di Ruolin called out to Xiao Luo from behind and said indifferently, "I'll remind you one last time. Qin Yi is someone I value."
Although his words seemed very concise, it was not a big deal. However, the threat in his words could be said to be very clear.
Qin Yi was someone he valued, which meant that Qin Yi was currently under his protection.
Given the Xiao Clan's current state, it was very likely that they would launch a crazy counterattack.
Di Ruolin's words were a warning to Xiao Luo. If he dared to have any designs on Qin Yi and hurt Qin Yi in the slightest, it would be equivalent to slapping him in the face.
When that time came, the Xiao Clan would most likely face more than just being banned from participating in the competition. It was very likely that what they were about to face was a calamity of annihilation.
"Un … Understood!"
Xiao Luo bitterly spat out these two words. Di Ruolin's words had completely extinguished his last hope.
At this time, he could only quicken his pace and walk outside. Soon, he disappeared from the crowd's sight.
When they saw the scene of Xiao Luo's departure, they felt a tinge of sadness.
Two hours ago, Xiao Luo still had a high-spirited look on his face. His son was still a genius who had already stepped into the academy's main gate.
Now, not only was his son gone, but his clan had also suffered an extremely serious blow.
Xiao Luo's silhouette suddenly made the crowd think of another person — — Tang Fei!
Although Tang Fei wasn't one of the Eight Great Families, she could be considered the family leader of the strongest family apart from the Eight Great Families.
A few months ago, Tang Fei was still boundlessly glorious, and no one dared to look down on her.
However, in the end, her ending was rather tragic.
All five of her sons had died tragically, and because of this, the clan had been saddled with a huge debt and suffered a great loss!
If one thought about it carefully, how similar were Tang Fei's and Xiao Luo's experiences?
And the reason why they brought disaster upon themselves seemed to be very similar!
This was because they had provoked the same person — — Qin Yi!
It was Qin Yi who had killed their sons, and it was also because of Qin Yi that their clan had been on the decline.
If the previous Qin Yi was just an incredible genius in the eyes of the crowd, then the current Qin Yi could be said to be a big shot that everyone had no choice but to pay attention to.
Moreover, he had a super backer in the form of Di Ruolin!
