Chapter 130 Competition

"Whoosh!"

All the Xu family members who had been watching the battle stood up, and even the First Elder stared wide-eyed, somewhat confused about what had just happened.

"Chieftain, this...!"

He stared at Xu Yuanshu lying on the stage, his voice stammering. He turned to look at the clan leader, who had a smug smile on his face.

"It's very simple: the ability to see through everything, perfect timing, and flawless control. Simple, right?"

The clan leader looked at Xu Fadong, who was in awe on the arena, and slowly leaned back in his chair, while the Grand Elder exclaimed in amazement beside him.

"Simple? Clan leader, are you kidding me? When we were at the Qi Refining Realm, we couldn't have done this. This kid is simply a monster."

The clan chief did not deny it. Looking at the referee on the stage who had just reacted, he had clearly seen the scene of the two sides fighting.

Nine rings came from all directions, but Xu Fadong's iron rod moved like a dragon, instantly smashing all the rings away. Although it was a rod, this kid used it like a sword.

Then, he lowered his body and quickly appeared behind Xu Yuanshu. The iron rod struck the back of Xu Yuanshu's head with lightning speed. Fortunately, Xu Fadong held back his strength, otherwise Xu Yuanshu's head would have been smashed open.

"Elder, monsters are not worthy of describing this boy. If you ask me, this boy is simply the Ziwei Star of our Xu family."

Given time, this kid will definitely climb to a level higher than either of us.

The First Elder sighed. He now understood why his clan leader valued Xu Fadong so much, but he was also somewhat worried.

"I'm just a little worried that, given Fadon's talent, our family really can't provide much help. Fadon might blame us in the future."

The elder spoke euphemistically, but the clan leader understood his meaning: the more talented a cultivator is, the more cold-hearted they tend to be. Their saying, "Our lives are in our own hands, not in the hands of Heaven," refers not only to the Way of Heaven but also to the cultivation of their own power.

The Jiang family once produced a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root. However, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage and the Jiang family could no longer provide assistance, he said, "I have repaid the Jiang family's kindness in nurturing me over the past few years. The debt of gratitude is exhausted, and we have no further connection." After that, he drifted away, and the entire Jiang family's century-long cultivation went down the drain.

Even when the Jiang family was destroyed by the Li family, this person never appeared. Although the Jiang family's purpose in cultivating him was not pure, but to make the family rise, the fact is that this person monopolized almost all of the Jiang family's resources and the painstaking care of several generations. Spiritual objects are easy to calculate, but the effort put in is hard to remember.

It wasn't just the Jiang family; many families had encountered this situation. Often, once a cultivator had enough strength, they would leave to become independent. In their view, this was only natural for future development. As a result, many families later chose to send their talented members to major sects, preferring to receive a reward rather than continue training them.

"I know."

The clan chief couldn't suppress his smile and said smugly.

"Fa Dong is of pure and kind nature, extremely honest and upright. You don't need to worry about that. I have complete confidence in his character."

Hearing the clan leader's assurance, the elder said no more, hoping that the clan leader's words would come true.

On the field, Xu Fadong had already stepped off the stage. At this moment, many clansmen still did not understand what had happened. The only thing they understood was that Xu Fadong had won, and won easily.

"Haha, that's impressive, Fa Dong!"

For a moment, everyone was amazed. Xu Fadong just smiled at everyone with a simple and honest expression, as if it was nothing.

Xu Yuanjing and Xu Yuanzhen, who were originally competing with each other, stood on the high ground and looked at Xu Fadong with a serious expression.

"Third Brother, did you see it clearly?"

Xu Yuanjing asked subconsciously, while Xu Yuanzhen, standing beside him, shook his head with a cold face. In this competition, he originally regarded Xu Yuanjing as his number one enemy, while the others were nothing special.

Seeing what Xu Fadong had just done, he immediately became wary, elevating Xu Fadong's threat level to the same level as Xu Yuanjing's.

"I had heard of Fa Dong before. No matter how hard my son tried, he couldn't beat him. I originally thought it was because Ling Hua was too lazy and didn't cultivate properly. It seems I have to apologize to that son."

No wonder that kid couldn't win. Yuan Shu's strength is quite good; it would have taken us a lot of effort to beat him. Fa Dong won so easily.

Xu Yuanjing laughed heartily, but his expression instantly turned extremely serious. He turned away and stopped watching the game.

"I need to prepare properly; I don't want to lose because I underestimate my opponent."

Xu Yuanzhen looked at his fourth brother's back and muttered to himself.

"Someone with even greater talent has arrived, and you're under so much pressure?"

In the past, Xu Yuanjing was recognized as the number one genius in the Xu family. Of course, Xu Yuanhao, who was not in the Xu family, could not be included. Although he did not care much about this title, now that Xu Fadong has emerged out of nowhere, his arrogance has been aroused.

Xu Yuanzhen looked at Xu Fadong, who was surrounded by a large group of young people, and couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

In his view, it is a good thing that the younger generation of the family is full of talented people. The family should be stronger with each generation. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous for these old guys to still be carrying the burden.

"No wonder the clan leader values ​​this lad so much."

The arena competition continued, and Xu Fadong easily defeated Xu Lingmin, Xu Yuanyan, and several others who were in the late stage of Qi Refining along the way. In the end, he stood on the arena for the finals with Xu Yuanjing.

"I didn't expect you to actually make it this far."

Xu Yuanjing looked at the still somewhat naive and innocent face opposite him and was momentarily dazed.

What was I doing when I was sixteen? I think I was still struggling with how to break through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

He was almost twenty when he first participated in the family competition, and he lost in the first round. Looking at Xu Fadong, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

"If only I had such talent, then my father could have nurtured me like he nurtured Fatton, and I could have achieved success at a young age..."

"Fourth Grandfather!"

Xu Fadong cupped his hands in greeting, and he quickly put all other distracting thoughts aside.

"Fa Dong, in this ring, there are only opponents, nothing else. It's a life-or-death battle between us, so there's no need to consider anything else."

Xu Yuanjing's tone was somewhat solemn, and his words seemed to have taken Xu Fadong by surprise, but he quickly calmed down and nodded.

"OK!"

Seeing that both of them were ready, the referee hurriedly announced the start of the battle, and all the tribespeople immediately focused their attention on the two of them.

"No flaws!"

Xu Yuanjing looked at Xu Fadong's seemingly casual stance but couldn't find any flaws. After a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and made the first move.
