The rules of the contest are simple, admit defeat, abstain or fall into the ring as the loser.
Since the tournament will use weapons to do its best, it is inevitable to be disabled during the fight, but there is no killer. Every arena will be strictly guarded by deacons sent by the three major families.
If someone kills in the martial arts competition, they will definitely be sacked and killed.
Those who are bound to compete in the ring are the leaders of the families, and no one wants the new generation of family leaders to die.
With the advent of time, the heads and elders of major families brought their young generations into the competition venue.
For a while, people around started talking again.
"Look, the two patrons of the Xue family and the Qin family are here."
"Four years ago, both the Xue family and the Qin family were in the top fifteen."
"The Zhong family is here too, and the leader of the team is actually their previous elder."
Some small families have entered the venue to choose a good location.
These positions are determined by the ranking set four years ago, and no one can stand randomly.
It didn't take long before the competition venue was full of people from all major families. It was really crowded and lively.
"Look, it's from the Lan family."
"It was Lan Jianren who led the team personally. He was a top ten expert in the last session. He was a low-level profound scholar at the time. His current strength should be more refined."
"The strength of the Lan family has increased greatly in recent years, and they are expected to take a step forward this year."
"Look at Li... Tianhao, the top five masters of the previous session."
"Four years have passed, this year he is the candidate for the top leader."
"Ling Feng from the Ling family is here too, this time there is a good show."
"No, the earth-shattering battle between Li Tianhao and Ling Feng is still unforgettable. I don't know who died this time. I really can't tell."
"Don't forget the Luo family brothers, they are here too"
Just after the representatives of all the families arrived, the eight figures swept towards the high platform from eight different directions.
For a moment, everyone exclaimed.
Eight elders appeared on the high platform. Standing in the middle were Ling Cang, the head of the Ling family, Li Qianzhong, the head of the Li family, and Luo Xiangming, the head of the Luo family.
The other five are the heads of other small and medium-sized families and the elders of the previous generation. Each of them is unfathomable in strength, at least above the spiritualist level, otherwise they are not qualified to sit alongside the heads of the three major families.
Lan Zhenfeng, the head of the Lan family, sat next to Li Qianzhong, and said, "Brother Li, this year's Li family is the leader." Lan Zhenfeng slapped Li Qianzhong's flattery, seeming to be demonstrating to Ling Cang on the side.
"Haha, Brother Lan has passed away," Li Qianzhong responded modestly, but his old eyes were full of arrogance.
Li Qianzhong and Lan Zhenfeng talked in public. This is to convey a message that their Li family and Lan family have indeed formed an alliance.
At this time, Luo Xiangming, the head of the Luo family, turned his eyes, and then smiled at Ling Cang on the side: "Brother Ling, when will you come to our Luo family to propose marriage!".
Luo Xiangming's words are really nonstop!
Li Qianzhong and Lan Zhenfeng almost flicked their tongues when they heard this, and the small and medium-sized family representatives on the side were also shocked.
What does it mean if the Ling family and Luo family form an alliance
The alliance between the two of the three major families may cause a major earthquake in Meteorite City!
Even Ling Cang himself was taken aback, and immediately asked inexplicably, "Brother Luo, what are you saying?".
"Brother Ling, don't you know that your Lingxiao and my granddaughter Shuang'er are in harmony? My Shuang'er said that the boy who is not Lingxiao does not marry, don't you Ling Xiao look down on my Luo family?" Luo Xiangming frowned and said .
"Brother Luo, what you said is serious, Xiao'er has always been independent, and has been taught by the Supreme Elder. I rarely interfere with his affairs. I really don't know what happened to him and your granddaughter," Ling Cang hurriedly responded. He was very surprised!
He really didn't expect his grandson Ling Xiao to hook up with the Luo family's granddaughter. As long as the Ling family and the Luo family were married, all internal problems would be solved.
"Then Brother Ling, you know now, can you take a stand," Luo Xiangming asked lightly.
Li Qianzhong who was on the side was so angry! He had asked his grandson to propose marriage to the Luo family and was rejected by the Luo family. It turned out that the Luo family liked the Ling family, and he was still the brat he hated the most.
"Well, you Luo Xiangming, when the Ling family is destroyed, your Luo family won't have to continue to hang around in Meteorite City" Li Qianzhong secretly cried out in his heart.
Ling Cang laughed and said, "Brother Luo, you said so. If Ling Cang refuses, wouldn't it be too ignorant? I will have someone go to the bride price when the big match is over."
"Shuang'er is my favorite granddaughter. You can't be lighthearted." Luo Xiangming smiled.
"This is natural" Ling Cang responded with a smile while pinching his beard.
At this moment, two more figures swept up from below.
"We shouldn't be late, right?" A clear voice came from a group of people.
All of a sudden, the three clan families on the high platform and five other people stood up to welcome the visitor.
There were two old men who came here, one in a pale yellow robe, with a slightly blessed body and a Hexi smile on his face, giving people an approachable feeling. He was the one who spoke just now; and the other in a gray robe On the other hand, his face was indifferent, his figure was extremely tall and thin, and there was a feeling of standing out among the crowd.
"Master Li, Master Yuan" the three heads of the clan called together with the other five people.
The two people who can welcome the three major patriarchs together are only Li Kong, the master refiner of Meteorite City, and the mysterious second-tier pharmacist of Lingcaotang, Yuan Ping.
After Li Kong and Yuan Ping returned their salutes to everyone, Li Kong walked directly to Ling Cang and said, "I wanted to visit Brother Ling a long time ago. After the test, I will go to the house to ask for a drink, Brother Ling doesn't mind."
Li Kong said this a little loudly, and everyone on the high platform could hear it clearly.
Everyone is even more horrified!
As the only master craftsman in Meteorite City, Li Kong's identity can be equal to that of the patriarchs of the three major families. The three previous families all threw out their arms against Li Kong, hoping that Li Kong could become their observant elder. It's a pity that Li Kong didn't like restraint and refused one by one. However, he still made friends with the three major families and remained neutral. He had never heard of which one he particularly favored, but now he showed his favor to Ling Cang under the large crowd in the hall. Can everyone not be surprised
If Li Kong really had a good relationship with the Ling family, then the reputation of the Ling family would be greatly boosted in the future, and the position of the chief of their three families would become unbreakable, even the Li and Lan family would dare not think about it.
We must know that although Li Kong is only one person, his appeal is still quite amazing.
For a while, everyone's minds became active all the time, and some representatives of the middle and small families were looking for ways of thinking to establish some relationship with the Ling family.
Ling Cang himself didn't understand what was going on. Luo Xiangming's position to him was fair enough, but with Li Kong's temperament, no one had ever sold it, so how did he change his sex now
However, Ling Cang didn't think much, he immediately responded with a smile: "Master Li can go to the house to take guests, and Ling Cang will naturally greet each other by sweeping the couch. Our Ling family doesn't have much else, but there are still a lot of fine wines that we have collected for a century. of".
"That's great, by the way, Xiaoer is coming to participate in the competition today. I'm waiting to see if he can make the top five," Li Kong asked.
"It's Xiaoer's relationship again?" Ling Cang's heart was shaken, and he asked in a soft voice: "Master Li knows my ineffective grandson?".
"Haha, I would like to thank Xiaoer for speaking of it. If he hadn't saved my son, I would have a white-haired man and a black-haired man. He is our benefactor, and I let him recognize me as a grandfather. , Brother Ling, don't you mind," Li Kong said with a smile.
"Li... Master Li, would you let Xiao'er recognize you as a grandfather?" Ling Cang asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Why, don't Ling brother look down on me, Li Kong!" Li Kong said solemnly.
"No... Of course not, this is something I can't ask for!" Ling Cang quickly waved his hand to respond, but a stormy sea was set off in his heart.
His grandson really surprises him more and more, and the future of the Ling family will rise because of him.
With the arrival of family representatives, the competition is about to begin.
First, the patriarchs of the three major families gave a speech, and then the families submitted their bets and rewards. These were handed over to Li Kong and Yuan Ping for safekeeping. After the final ranking was determined, they would give out the bets and rewards. They also counted this. The second judge is the biggest judge.
Everything is ready, and the fighters in the competition are ready to draw lots to determine the arena and opponents.
Ling Xiao went to the nearest lottery box with Ling Feng, the leader of his family, and others.
At this moment, an indifferent voice came from the side, "Ling Feng, long time no see."
It was a young man with a gloomy face. Although his appearance was not handsome, he still gave people a sense of calm maturity. It was just that his viper-like eyes were very uncomfortable.
He is the leader of the Li family's generation, Li Tianhao. Four years ago, he was a low-level profound scholar at the age of twenty-one. Now he is just twenty-five years old, I am afraid that he has already broken through to an intermediate-level profound scholar.
On the Ling family's side, a young man in a golden martial suit flicked his hair and looked at Li Tianhao, saying, "Li Tianhao didn't expect you to have advanced too, but this is fun. I hope you don't lose too fast."
Li Tianhao smiled proudly: "Ling Feng, you are still so arrogant, but I just want to give you what you said. Don't forget that you were my defeat four years ago, and this year... will be no exception."
Ling Feng seemed to be hit by the painful foot, his fists were clenched to death, and his irritated eyes narrowed and said: "Wait and see, I will double the shame four years ago."
Four years ago, both Li Tianhao and Ling Feng were among the top five candidates. The two fought for the fourth place in a battle. Because the two were of equal strength, the match was intense, but it was a pity that Ling Feng was metallic and was restrained by Li Tianhao's fire attributes, and finally lost to Li Tianhao by one move.
In the past four years, Ling Feng has been thinking about revenge for his failures all the time.
"Don't worry, I will be waiting for you in the ring. I hope you don't lose too fast." Li Tianhao said very proudly. Then he turned his gaze to the side of Ling Xiao and said quietly, "You are Ling Xiao? Meteorite City for a hundred years. A rare genius?".
