Because the martial arts competition would use weapons to fight with all their strength, it was inevitable for them to be injured during a battle. However, they were not allowed to kill. Every arena was strictly guarded by the medicinal deacons sent out by the three great families.
If someone were to start a slaughter in a martial arts competition, they would definitely be captured and killed.
Those who were fighting in the arena were all the outstanding talents of the various families. No one wished for the next generation of family pillars to die an untimely death.
With the arrival of time, the Family Master and Elder of the major families brought their young generation into the arena.
For a moment, the surrounding people started discussing again.
"Look, Family Master from the Xue and Qin family families are here.
"Four years ago, some people from the Xue and Qin family entered the top fifteen.
"The Zhong family is here too. Their leader is their last generation Elder.
A few small families entered one after another and chose their seats.
These positions were determined by the rankings four years ago. No one could casually change their seats.
Not long after, the arena was filled with people from various large clans. It was truly a sea of people, and it was extremely lively.
"Look, someone from the Lan family is here!
"It's Lan Jianren who led the team. He was one of the top ten experts who advanced to the top ten last time. At that time, he was a Profound Master of Low Rank. His strength should have improved even more now.
"The Lan family's strength has increased greatly in recent years. This year, I hope they can advance a step further.
"Look, it's Lee Tianhao. He's one of the top five experts in the previous batch.
"Four years have passed. He's the most popular candidate this year.
"Ling Feng from the Ling family is here as well. There's going to be a good show this time.
"That's right. The shocking battle between Lee Tianhao and Ling Feng is still unforgettable. I wonder who will win this time."
"Don't forget that the Luo brothers are here as well."
After all the representatives of the families had arrived, eight figures rushed towards the high platform from eight different directions.
For a moment, everyone cried out in alarm.
Eight old men appeared on the high platform. Standing in the middle were Clan Chief of the Ling family, Ling Cang of the Lee family, Clan Chief of the Lee family, and Clan Chief of the Luo family, Luo Xiangming.
The other five men were Family Master from the other small and medium-sized families, as well as the Elder figures from the previous generation. Each of them had unfathomable strength, at least Spirit Master Rank and above. Otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to sit together with Clan Chief from the three big families.
The patriarch of the Lan family, Lan Zhenfeng, sat next to Li Qianchong. He cupped his hands and asked, "Brother Li, the champion position this year belongs to the Lee family. Lan Zhenfeng was trying to please Li Qianchong, as if he was trying to show off to Ling Cang.
"Brother Lan is exaggerating," Li Qianchong replied humbly, but his eyes were filled with pride. It seemed like he was determined to win the championship.
Li Qianchong and Lan Zhenfeng were talking in public. This was a message that the Lee family and Lan family had formed an alliance.
At this time, Clan Chief from the Luo family turned to Ling Cang and asked, "Mr. Ling, when are you going to come to our Luo family to propose marriage?
Luo Xiangming's words really did not stop until he was shocked!
Li Qianchong and Lan Zhenfeng were almost scared out of their wits when they heard these words. The representatives of the small and medium-sized families by the side also had a look of shock on their faces.
What would it mean if the Ling family and Luo family formed an alliance?
The alliance between the two families of the three families would probably cause a huge earthquake in Meteor Rock City!
Even Ling Cang was shocked. He immediately asked curiously, "Brother Luo, what do you mean?
"Mr. Ling, don't you know that your Ling Xiao and my granddaughter Shuang like each other? My family's Shuang must marry the Ling Xiao. Don't tell me you look down on the Luo family?" Luo Xiangming said with a frown.
Brother Luo, Xiao has always been an independent child. Furthermore, Grand Elder has taught him. I rarely interfere in his matters. I really don't know what happened between him and your granddaughter, "Ling Cang quickly replied. He was very surprised in his heart.
He really didn't expect that his grandson, Ling Xiao, would actually hook up with Luo family's granddaughter. As long as Ling family and Luo family were married, all internal problems would naturally be solved.
"Mr. Ling, now that you know about it, why don't you say something?" Luo Xiangming asked indifferently.
Li Qianchong, who was standing at the side, was very angry! He had asked his grandson to propose to the Luo family but was rejected by the Luo family. It turned out that the Luo family had taken a liking to the Ling family, and it was Stinking Brat, whom he hated the most.
"Luo Xiangming, once the Ling family is destroyed, the Luo family won't be able to exist in the Meteor Rock City anymore!" Li Qianchong exclaimed in his heart.
Ling Cang laughed and said, "Brother Luo, you've already said that! "It won't be good if I refuse. After the competition, I'll send someone to propose marriage.
"Shuang is my favorite granddaughter. You can't miss this gift," Luo Xiangming said with Xiao .
"Of course," Ling Cang said with a Xiao in his hand.
Right at this moment, two more figures rushed up from below.
"We shouldn't be late, right?" A clear and pleasant voice came from one of the people.
All of a sudden, the three great families and the other five people on the stage stood up to welcome the arrival.
The arrival was two old men. One of them was wearing a light yellow robe. His body was slightly plump, and he had a friendly smile on his face. He gave people the feeling that he was a friendly person. This man was the one who spoke just now. The other old man was wearing a grey robe. He looked indifferent. He was extremely tall and thin. He stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.
"Master Lih, Master Yuan." The three patriarchs and the other five called out at the same time.
Only the Refining Master Li Kong of Meteor Rock City and the mysterious Medicine Refining Master of Second Grade Yuan Ping could make the three patriarchs welcome them.
After Li Kong and Yuan Ping returned the greeting, Li Kong walked up to Ling Cang and bowed. "I've been wanting to visit Mr. Ling for a long time. Mr. Ling doesn't mind me visiting your house after the competition, right?
Li Kong's words were a little loud. Everyone on the stage heard it clearly.
Everyone was even more shocked.
Li Kong was the only Refining Master in Meteor Rock City, and his status was equal to Clan Chief of the three great families. Before this, the three major families admired Li Kong very much, and hoped that Li Kong could become their gift. Unfortunately, Li Kong didn't like to be restrained, so he rejected them one by one. However, He still maintained a good relationship with the three families and remained neutral. He had never heard of any family that he particularly liked, but now, he was trying to express his goodwill to Ling Cang in front of everyone in the hall. How could this not surprise everyone?
If Li Kong was really on good terms with the Ling family, In that case, the reputation of the Ling family would be greatly boosted in the future. The position of the chief seat of the three major families would become unshakable. Even the Lee and Lan and the other two families wouldn't dare to have any thoughts about it.
One should know that although Li Kong was only one person, his rallying power was still quite shocking.
For a moment, everyone's thoughts became active. The representatives of some medium-sized families and small families were looking for ways to build a relationship with the Ling family.
Ling Cang himself didn't understand what was going on. It was fine if Luo Xiangming had expressed his opinion to him, but how did Li Kong change his personality now?
However, Ling Cang didn't think too much about it. He immediately responded with the Xiao , "Ling Cang welcomes Master Lih to my house. Our Ling family doesn't have many other things, but we still have a lot of good wine that has been kept for a hundred years.
"That's great. Oh right, Xiao is coming to participate in the competition today. I'm waiting to see if he can enter the top five." Li Kong asked.
"Is it because of the Xiao again?" Ling Cang was shocked. He immediately asked in a soft voice, "Does Master Lih know my grandson?
"Speaking of which, I... Speaking of which, I have to thank Xiao. If he didn't save my son, My son is going to die. He is the benefactor of our family. I even made him acknowledge me as God Grandfather. Mr. Ling, do you mind? Li Kong said with his Xiao .
Master Lih, do you want the Xiao to acknowledge you as God Grandfather? " Ling Cang asked, not knowing what to do.
"What? Does Mr. Ling look down on me?" Li Kong said seriously.
"Of course not. This is what I wish for!" Ling Cang hurriedly waved his hand and replied, but his heart was in turmoil.
This grandson of his really surprised him more and more. The future of Ling family would rise because of him.
With the arrival of the family representatives, the competition was about to begin.
First, Clan Chief from the three major families spoke. Then, each family presented their own bets and rewards. These were all handed over to Li Kong and Yuan Ping for safekeeping. After the final ranking was determined, they would distribute the stakes and rewards. They could also be considered as the judges of this competition.
Everything was ready. The martial artist competitors were ready to draw lots to determine the arena and opponents.
The Ling Xiao followed the leading figures of their families, Ling Feng, and the others to draw lots from the nearest draw box.
Right at this time, an indifferent voice came from the side, "Ling Feng, long time no see.
The one who spoke was a young man with a gloomy face. Although he did not look handsome, he gave people a steady sense of maturity. It was just that his eyes, which were like Viper's, made people feel very uncomfortable.
He was the outstanding genius of the Lee family's generation, Lee Tianhao. Four years ago, he was twenty-one years old and was already a Profound Master of Low Rank. Now, he was only twenty-five years old and had probably broken through to the Profound Master of Middle Rank realm.
On the Ling family's side, a young man dressed in golden martial clothes flicked his hair and looked at Lee Tianhao. "Lee Tianhao didn't expect you to break through as well, but this is more fun. I hope you don't lose too quickly.
Lee Tianhao said proudly, "Ling Feng, you are still so arrogant. However, I wanted to give you these words. Don't forget that you were defeated by me four years ago, and this year is no exception.
Ling Feng seemed to have been told his sadness. He clenched his fists tightly and said angrily," Just you wait and see. I will pay you back the humiliation four years ago.
Four years ago, Lee Tianhao and Ling Feng were both in the top five. The two of them fought for the fourth rank. Due to their strength being equal, the battle was very intense. Unfortunately, Ling Feng's metal attribute was suppressed by Lee Tianhao's Fire Attribute and lost to Lee Tianhao in the end.
For the past four years, Ling Feng had been constantly thinking of taking revenge for his defeat back then.
"Don't worry, I will wait for you on the arena. I hope that you don't lose too quickly." Then, he turned his eyes to the Ling Xiao beside him. You said, "You're the Ling Xiao? A rare genius in Meteor Rock City in a hundred years?
