Time passed like a passing time, and soon it was time for the clan competition to start.
At this time of year, the family will hold a clan competition. Unlike the clan meeting, only those clansmen who have become demon masters after the last clan competition are eligible to participate in this year's clan competition, and they must be under the age of 16, which is also the upper age limit for recruiting students in various universities.
Compared with the Li family nestled in Los Angeles, these schools are huge, even the lowest-level schools are far beyond what the Li family can compare.
This morning, after solving routine matters, Li Changsheng left the residence and walked towards the training ground.
The race competition will be held at the training ground!
Along the way, Li Changsheng saw many clansmen, some of them went together, some went alone, but they all had the same goal, that is to go to the training ground.
Most of these people are spectators, and there are only a few contestants.
Among them, one team is quite eye-catching.
This is a group of young girls of the same age, all about fifteen or sixteen years old, their bodies have already begun to show signs of appearance, they laughed and laughed all the way, and sometimes made silver bell-like voices, attracting people's attention.
However, if you observe carefully, you can clearly feel their center from their words, deeds and positions.
This beautiful girl in neon clothes hardly spoke, and occasionally pursed her lips lightly, giving off a gentle and quiet feeling.
Her name is Li Yijing, and she has been a demon master for half a year, especially because her grandfather is also a high-ranking elder of the Yuyuan clan, which also makes her the favorite to win this year's clan competition.
Because he majored in mental strength, the demon master's five senses are extremely sharp, so when Li Changsheng was observing, Li Yijing immediately reacted, and when she found out that it was Li Changsheng, she couldn't help but nodded her head as a greeting.
Judging from the genealogy, the grandfathers of Li Changsheng and Li Yijing are cousins. Unfortunately, in his generation, the two sides have not had much contact with each other. This also leads to the two being not close, and there is no conflict.
Li Changsheng also nodded in greeting, and soon came to the training ground.
Different from yesterday, the originally empty training field has undergone great changes. Numerous tables, chairs and benches surrounded several arenas for the clansmen to watch the battle.
Due to the limited space, many clansmen had to get up early, which also made the training ground very lively, and it could even be described as full of seats.
There are only so many positions, and those who came later can only stand and watch the battle.
After arriving at the contestants' resting place, Li Changsheng randomly chose a place and began to wait patiently.
Next to Li Changsheng, sat a young man named Li Xiaoguang, but he was not a direct descendant of the Li family, but a side branch of the Li family.
The Li family has a relatively long history, more than a dozen generations have branched out, and there are some branch families. They are mainly distributed in the towns under the jurisdiction of Luocheng to collect resources for the clan.
In terms of numbers, the sum of these branch families may exceed the main family, but in terms of power and influence, they are several grades behind.
The Zong family and the Branch family are closely related. In order to win over and weaken the Branch family, and also to increase the power of the Zong family, the Zong family has formulated special rules. As long as members of the Branch family show strong talents, or contract high-quality demon pets, they can enter the Zong family. While imparting knowledge to them, they are also eligible to participate in the clan competition to compete for places in schools.
As long as they behaved well, it might not be impossible to change from a separated family to a direct line.
Glancing at Li Changsheng, Li Xiaoguang frowned slightly. Due to the difference in status and treatment, there was a natural estrangement between him and the descendants of the direct line, and it was difficult to reverse it in a short time. This was also the main conflict between the offshoot and the direct line.
Not paying attention to Li Xiaoguang's gaze, Li Changsheng was still closing his eyes and resting his mind, trying to use his best state to cope with the upcoming clan competition.
While waiting, the senior members of the family came one after another. In order to show their importance, the family specially built a high platform for them, allowing them to watch everything on the training ground condescendingly.
Not long after, the patriarch Li Wenbo led all the high-level officials to the scene. He looked about fifty years old, with a tall and straight figure and a firm face. Li Wenbo had made a lot of achievements in these years. Under his leadership, the Li family defeated the Lin family and won the miniature soul crystal mine.
At the same time, Li Wenbo is also the only fourth-tier demon master in the family.
Li Wenbo stood on the high platform without any unnecessary nonsense, and announced loudly: "According to the usual practice in previous years, the clan competition is divided into two parts. The first is the power test. Newly promoted demon masters who pass the test will automatically advance to the semi-finals. Newly promoted demon masters who fail the test will go to the knockout round to compete for the remaining places in the semi-finals!"
With the increase in mental power, Li Wenbo's voice could be heard clearly in the entire training ground, as if it was echoing in their ears.
However, Li Wenbo hadn't reached the level of detail. Some people who were close to him only felt that their ears were buzzing, and there were signs of temporary deafness.
This year's competition, there are more than 20 participants, and being able to become demon masters before the age of 16 naturally represents their talent.
For them, the number of places recommended by the school is very important, which means that they can enter a higher platform, broaden their horizons, and obtain more resources and knowledge.
No matter who it is, they will do their best to get the places recommended by the school.
As in previous years, the elder of the Neiwutang clan served as the referee for the clan competition. He walked slowly to the middle of the ring, pointed at the boulder on the side and shouted: "Release your demon pets to attack this obsidian, as long as you can leave traces on it, you can automatically advance to the semi-finals! The first one, Li Changchong!"
This is a piece of obsidian more than three meters high, the whole body is black, there is no trace of variegation, and it looks quite solid.
Obsidian, the only advantage is that it is hard, its use is not great, it is mainly used to test the strength of the demon pet.
As soon as the old voice of the Neiwutang family fell, an ordinary-looking teenager left the contestant's bench. He was the first to test Li Changchong.
As soon as he arrived at the arena, Li Changchong immediately released his natal demon pet, and a colorful tiger appeared on the arena.
Banner Tiger: An upper-class servant race with long stamina and known for its fierce attack.
Under Li Changchong's command, the Banyan Tiger jumped up and swung its right paw with all its strength. A sharp cold light flashed and collided with the obsidian.
Boom~
Accompanied by a muffled sound, the obsidian remained motionless, not even leaving a trace on it. On the contrary, it was a striped tiger, its claws were broken, and strands of blood gushed out.
The elder of the Neiwutang clan shook his head, exhaled and said, "Unqualified!"
Li Changchong was full of disappointment. After taking back the colorful tiger, he returned to the contestant's bench in a dejected manner. He glanced at the next clansman who participated in the test, and prayed that the other party would not pass the test.
Shua~
The next moment, the light blue wind blade cut on the obsidian, making an ear-piercing friction sound, but unfortunately, the obsidian still remained motionless, leaving no trace.
Two players in a row crashed into the sand, and the atmosphere in the player bench became obviously much heavier.
"This is too difficult!"
"Too bad, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test!"
"Me too!"
…
Many players looked at each other in blank dismay, only a few of them looked calm and full of confidence, including Li Changsheng.
Soon, another five people took the test, and unexpectedly, none of them passed the test. This made the face of the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall darken, and he had to call out Li Jingyi, the favorite to win the championship.
"Let's get started!" Compared with before, the old tone of the Neiwutang family was obviously a little more expectant.
Li Jingyi nodded slightly. Contrary to everyone's expectations, she did not summon the demon pet, but threw out the purple chipmunk she was holding in her arms.
No wonder they were surprised. The biggest advantage of the purple chipmunk is its agility, and attacking is not its strong point.
