C51 The Family Competition Begins(1)

It was a new day in Heavenly Cloud City, and it was already early in the morning. As for the blood case last night, most of it was just a topic to talk about after the meal.

Due to the special geographical location of Heavenly Cloud City, which was quite close to Devil Beast Mountain Range, there were a lot of people coming and going in Heavenly Cloud City. Most of them were powerful warriors, and they were all evil people. If there were any conflicts or personal conflicts, it would not be surprising for a murder to happen.

Regarding this, the three families and the city guards in Heavenly Cloud City could only turn a blind eye. As long as it was not a tragic extermination, it would not be surprising for Heavenly Cloud City, which had an average monthly population of four to five hundred thousand people, to have a casualty.

As the overlord of Heavenly Cloud City and the three families were approaching the end of the year's family meeting, and the major families and families' competition was held, the flow of people in the past few days had increased. On the streets, young men and girls all had imposing and imposing appearances.

Due to the fact that the martial arts in the Heavenly Essence Continent were as common as the wind, most of the outstanding disciples from the various families were sent to the sects or academies for further studies. However, the academies and the sects had their own advantages and disadvantages.

The freedom in the academies was high, and there were not many restrictions. However, it was relatively weaker than the cultivation resources of the sects. The cultivation resources in the sects were abundant, so of course, there would be more restrictions. Once one joined the sects, they would not be able to quit for the rest of their life unless they could not meet the standards and were expelled from the sects. However, the family was also marked with the symbol of the sect.

Xiao Jian arrived at the Xiao family early in the morning and saw the gate of the Xiao family. There were crowds of people, most of them were young disciples. Xiao Jian walked towards the entrance. When he passed by the guards, Xiao Jian had spent the past half a year with them. It was also because the Family Competition was approaching. There were a lot of people entering and exiting the Xiao Mansion, so during the annual Family Competition, The disciples of the family, including the direct disciples of the Xiao family, had to show their identity tokens.

The Xiao family expressionlessly took out their identity tokens and handed them to one of the guards who looked like a captain. After examining the token, the guard handed it over respectfully. After the guard received it, he stuffed it into his pocket and walked towards his residence.

"Big Brother Xiao Ming, is this black-clothed youth also a disciple of our Xiao family? Is he a direct disciple or a collateral disciple? Why do I feel like he's a little hard to see through? When I see him, I feel like I'm looking at Young Master and Miss Mei'er. I feel an invisible pressure that makes me not dare to look straight at him!"

"Hehe, look at his identity token. He should only be a disciple of a branch. As for his name. . . I didn't take a closer look. That would be disrespectful to him. Doing so. . . In the Heavenly Cloud City. . . No one was tired of living. How dare you forge an identity token of our Xiao family? I think he is either cultivating in the sect or in the academy. For example, those disciples who joined the sect or the academy. When he returns, he will definitely be the pillar of our Xiao family. The management staff of the upper echelons and those with actual power should be coming back one after another in the next few days. We have to be more respectful. Give them a good impression, it'll be good for us in the future" Xiao Ming said casually.

"Yes! . . . Yes! What Big Brother Xiao Ming said was, thank you Big Brother Xiao for your advice. I will never forget Big Brother Xiao in the future. "

Xiao Jian had already walked far away. He did not know that the aura that he unintentionally revealed would be regarded as a family disciple who had returned from a sect or academy. Even if he knew, he would only laugh it off.

In the courtyard of a branch disciple, the Xiao family was standing at the entrance of their own courtyard, pacing back and forth. After hesitating for a long time, just as his hand was about to push open the door and enter, the courtyard door creaked. " It was pulled open from the inside.

One of them had a slightly wrinkled face. The middle-aged man with a slightly bent waist appeared in front of the Xiao family.

"Jian, is that you? It really is you! You're back! That's great, quick! Hurry up and come in. Let Father take a good look at you!" After saying that, he pulled Xiao Jian's arm with one hand and pulled him into the courtyard. The two of them went to the stone bench beside the well and sat down.

"Father, I'm back! These days have made you worry!" Xiao Jian's voice was a little choked up.

"Good! Good! Good! It's good that you're back safe! " The middle-aged man said excitedly. As Xiao Yuanshan spoke, he used his wide and thick palm to stroke Xiao Jian's hair.

"Jian, you! You have broken through to the Essence Warrior Stage! Haha, this is great! If your mother was still alive, she would be very happy!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's voice faded. Xiao Jian knew that his father missed his mother again. He quickly said, "Yes, father. He broke through before he came back. Now, he has stabilized at the Early Period of Essence Warrior Stage. "

"Alright. I knew that my Jian wouldn't be so ordinary in his life. Hehe, reaching the Early Period of Essence Warrior Stage at the age of fifteen. He could be considered a great genius. Now, I would like to see who else dares to call my Jian a trash! " The middle-aged man said in high spirits, and his face turned slightly red because of his excitement.

"By the way, Jian, did you have breakfast in the morning? If you didn't have breakfast, father will bring it for you. It just so happens that we can eat together. We haven't eaten together for a long time! "

"Mm, alright, father. "

In fact, Xiao Jian had already eaten breakfast outside, but in order to make his father happy, and also to relive the warm feeling of someone caring for him, he lied.

Not long after, Xiao Yuanshan brought over a sumptuous breakfast. Xiao Jian ate a big bowl of rice porridge and a few steamed buns. He ate very sweetly.

After breakfast, Xiao Jian and Xiao Yuanshan walked to the training field. The training field was located on the west side of the mansion. It was located in the middle of the buildings of the branch disciples and direct disciples. It seemed that Xiao Jian's senior had specially arranged it for the disciples of the family to come here for training.

After passing through a quiet stone road, they arrived at a wide stone square in no time.

At this moment, there were a few hundred people standing there, and most of them were youths and young girls. Waves of clamorous noise rose into the sky.

Xiao Jian and Xiao Yuanshan separated from each other. Xiao Jian walked behind the group of young men and girls. He stood in the last row and didn't chat with anyone. Some of the disciples didn't pay any attention to Xiao Jian, who had a cold expression on his face. On the other side of the square. It was also crowded with people, and it was bustling with noise and excitement. Almost all the servants and guards of the Xiao family had come to watch this rare occasion.

In the training ground, there was a huge black stone tablet that was used to test the strength of Essence Cultivator Yuan energy. Only some powerful families had such a huge stone tablet. It was expensive and also a symbol of status.

At this moment, beside the black stone tablet stood an old man in black with a cold face and a serious expression. On the left side of the square, there was a tall platform. On the platform sat the patriarch, Xiao Feiloong, and seven of the eight elders.

There were also some famous people in the Heavenly Cloud City, and the city lord of the Heavenly Cloud City, Li Yuanba, was among them.2

Today was the test before the Family Competition. First, the disciples who hadn't reached the standard would be eliminated, and the rest of the disciples who had reached the standard would be sent to the arena for the competition.

At this moment, some of the disciples who hadn't reached the late Essence Cultivator were standing in front of the test, feeling uneasy and silent. Those who thought they were confident and confident were still talking loudly with smiles on their faces.

"Deacon Xiao, where is your son? Why didn't I see him? He didn't think that he wouldn't meet the requirements and was so scared that he didn't dare to come, right? That's good. At least I know my own limitations, so I won't come and embarrass myself. Hehe, unlike my son, Xiao Tie, who has already reached the peak of the Essence Cultivator, he can break through to the Essence Warrior Stage at any time, and become a young expert in my family!"

Fury first appeared on Xiao Yuanshan's face, then it slowly calmed down. Because he knew that his son had broken through to the Essence Warrior Stage, he felt slightly relieved. Regarding this deacon who kept mocking him, he didn't have a good impression of him. Instead, he felt a little unhappy.

"Hehe, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Deacon Xiao Yuanxing. My son has been here for a long time. It's just that you didn't see it. As for whether my son came to make a fool of himself or not, I don't need to trouble Deacon Xiao Yuanxing. Let's wait and see!"

"Uh! Okay! Then let's wait and see!" Xiao Yuanxing was greatly puzzled by the unusual behavior of his old opponent. He felt that it was a little unusual, but when it came to his "useless" son. . . Xiao Yuanxing did not think too much and did not think too highly of him. He only felt that he was probably planning to break the jar and break the jar. He would only lose face again in front of everyone!
