C10 At the Beginning of the Competition

Lee Clan! Martial Arts Practice Field!

Today was the annual competition of Lee Clan, and all the disciples of the family were gathered here!

The first event of the annual competition was to test one's cultivation base!

According to the rules of the Lee Clan, the cultivation base of Lee Clan Disciples had to break through at least one level every year. Otherwise, there would be corresponding punishments. The lightest punishment would be the loss of cultivation Spirit Crystals, and the worst punishment would be the outer circle business of the Lee Clan. No one was allowed to cultivate in the Lee Clan for the rest of their lives.

This harsh rule was set by the current patriarch, Lee Hong. Although it was not popular, no one dared to violate it.

Every year, many disciples were sent to the outer layer. There were also many disciples' cultivation resources. It doubled. There were gains and losses!

As for the second round, it was the clan's grand competition. All the disciples of the younger generation could participate, and the disciples that were ranked at the top would be able to obtain extremely generous rewards.

He remembered that the champion of last year's competition was Lee Rann, and the reward was a low Spiritual Rank weapon. A Spiritual Rank weapon was an existence that could not be exchanged for tens of thousands of gold coins in Thunder Martial City!

With the example of last year, the Lee Clan Disciples also could not bear the temptation of spirit weapons. In order to become the champion, they all worked hard to cultivate!

"Thinking back to that year. . . Our Lee Clan has shaken the entire Azure Dragon Country. Countless major families can only tremble under our might. Now that the Lee Clan has been defeated, we, the Lee Clan Disciples, should learn from our ancestors and revitalize our family with our lives on the line!" In the Martial Arts Practice Field, on top of a temporary high platform, a middle-aged man wearing a noble robe was shouting at the countless disciples below in a dignified manner.

"Risking life and forgetting death, revitalizing the family. . . "

"Risking life and death, revitalizing the family. . . "

. . .

Countless disciples below raised their fists and roared!

The burly man on the platform was the patriarch of Lee Clan, Lee Hong!

"En!" Lee Hong nodded his head in satisfaction. He raised his hand and pressed downwards.

Instantly, the deafening roar came to an abrupt stop. Lee Hong's majestic figure was imprinted in the hearts of every Lee Clan Disciples!

"Good! It is absolutely not a dream for your family to be revitalized!" Lee Hong continued to speak.

"However, revitalizing the family is not something that can be done with words. You have to prove to me with your strength!"

"Today is the annual competition of the family. Today is the day of the competition. For all of you, there are two outcomes, luck or misfortune! However, the outcome depends on yourselves. I will now hand over the stage to all of you! " Lee Hong's tone changed, and it was filled with an unknown meaning.

In an instant, the expressions of the disciples below changed!

"It's over. Last year I was a Fighter 4-dan, and now I'm still the same. I'm going to be sent to the outer layer of the family!"

"Hahaha. . . I've worked hard to cultivate this year and broke through to a new level. The increase in resources is just around the corner!"

. . .

Some of the people below looked depressed and pessimistic. They had lost their will to fight!

Some of them, on the contrary, were gloating as they looked at those pessimistic disciples. Their sense of superiority was still present!

"Alright, Great Elder, come and preside over the test!" Lee Hong said to a figure below the tall platform.

"Yes, patriarch!" An old man in a tight suit cupped his hands and answered.

Lee Clan was a family with a lot of power and authority, and the Patriarch ruled the entire family!

Below the patriarch was the group of elders. The group of elders was the strongest external force of the family.

Among them were elders who had been promoted to inner disciples, as well as experts from the outside world who were loyal to the family.

The Great Elder was the leader of the group of elders. In Lee Clan, his status was only second to the patriarch, and he was second only to the patriarch!

"Bang!" Lee Ming leapt up and landed firmly on the high platform in an instant.

As the Great Elder, Lee Ming's cultivation base was extremely powerful!

"Boom!" Looking at the empty space in front of him, Lee Ming suddenly waved his hand and a huge green rock fell onto it with a bang.

This green rock was a treasure left behind by the Lee Clan when they were at their peak. It was a testing stone that recorded the cultivation information of all the disciples of the Lee Clan!

"The first test, cultivation! Disciples under the age of 20, prepare for the test!" Lee Ming said in a serious tone.

"What's going on? You don't need to take the test after 20 years old? Don't all disciples have to take the test? "

" I'm just 21 years old this year. If I don't take the test, will I be sent to the outer layer? "

. . .

Immediately, discussions sounded from below.

In the past, there was no age restriction in the Lee Clan's cultivation test, but this year, there was such a restriction. It was really puzzling.

"Alright, silence!" Lee Ming's face turned ashen, and he shouted loudly.

"The reason for this restriction will naturally be explained when the time comes. All disciples under the age of twenty have lined up and are preparing to take the test on the stage!" After a moment of silence, Lee Ming slightly relaxed his expression and said calmly.

When they heard what Lee Ming said, all the disciples looked at each other, and finally, they stopped hesitating for the time being.

All the disciples under the age of twenty consciously lined up in a long line under the tall platform. Those who were older than twenty stood by the side and watched.

"Okay, you come up first!" Lee Ming pointed at the first disciple in the line and said.

"Yes!"

Li Xia nodded and agreed. He strode up the stairs and arrived at the high platform.

"Begin the test!" Lee Ming pointed at the green rock and said in a dignified manner.

Li Xia cupped his hands in agreement and walked to the green rock. Without any hesitation, he placed his right hand on the green rock and the Qi in his body flowed into it.

A flash of light appeared, and a row of information appeared on the testing stone.

Li Xia, nineteen years old, cultivation level of Fighter 4-dan, low level, no progress!

"Go down! Next!" Lee Ming shook his head in disappointment. He did not expect to die first.

When the result came out, Li Xia's face instantly turned pale and he walked down dejectedly.

He already knew his cultivation level, and he only wanted to take a gamble. If there was a problem with the test stone, then he wouldn't have to be sent to the outer layer.

After Li Xia left, another disciple walked up.

"Li Da, twenty years old, cultivation level Sixth Heavenly Layer, intermediate level, improvement by one level!"

"En, not bad, continue to work hard!" Lee Ming finally showed a smile and encouraged him.

"Hahaha. . . " Li Da respectfully cupped his hands towards Lee Ming. He proudly looked at the disciples below and proudly walked down the stone platform.

"Next. . . "

"Li Gang, 18 years old, cultivation base at the fifth level, intermediate level, improvement. . . "

"Li Fan, 20, cultivation base at the Sixth Heavenly Layer, intermediate level, improvement. . . "

"Li Feng, 20, cultivation base at the fourth level, low level, no improvement. . . "

"Lee Shui, 18, Seventh Heavenly Layer, advanced. . . "

. . .

Following the appearance of this Seventh Heavenly Layer cultivation base, the heads of the people below started to surge, and they started to discuss amongst themselves.

"Alright, this is the last one. You can come up now!" Lee Ming looked at the last remaining man and said in a low voice.

"Hahaha. . . I will come too!" This person was Lee Woo.

"Step. Lee Woo also jumped onto the high platform in an arrogant manner.

"Wahaha, it's Brother Wu. He broke through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer last year. This year, he will definitely break through again and reach the high rank of a martial artist. Seventh Heavenly Layer!"

"Brother Wu is mighty, Brother Wu, you can do it. . . "

Lee Woo's lackeys all cheered.

"Lee Woo, twenty years old, a Seventh Heavenly Layer warrior, advanced level, and improved by one level!"

Although he wasn't as young as Lee Shui, he was still a genius.

"That's right!" Lee Ming looked at Lee Woo with praise and satisfaction.

"Hahaha. . . Thank you, Great Elder, for your love!" Lee Woo laughed and flattered him.

"Oh right, Great Elder, I have something that I need to say on the stage. I hope Great Elder can agree to it!" Lee Woo cupped his hands and begged in a low voice.

Lee Ming sized Lee Woo up. He was confused, but he did not reject the offer. He nodded slightly to show his agreement.

After getting permission, Lee Woo walked to the edge of the room happily. He raised his proud face and said, "Brothers of Lee Clan, I am Lee Woo. Today, I have something that I would like to ask you to be my witness!"

All the disciples' eyes were attracted, and they were all puzzled.

Among them was Lee Hong and the other elders!

"Witness what? Witness what?"

. . .

"The family's trash, Lee Lin, challenged me a month ago. He said that he wanted to challenge me in the family competition. He said that he wanted to defeat me with his own hands!" Lee Woo changed the topic and said slowly.

"Oh, so that's what happened! The news had already spread across the entire clan. I thought it was a joke! I didn't expect it to be true! "

" Lee Lin, that trash, actually dared to challenge Lee Woo. He's really audacious. Let's just watch the show! "

. . .

Lee Hong, who was standing behind the tall platform, also understood what was going on.

"Lee Lin, what kind of trouble does that trash want to cause again? It's all his parents' fault that his family lost like this, and he still dares to act recklessly. I will never forgive him!" Lee Hong's expression suddenly changed as he coldly muttered to himself.

"Lee Lin, why haven't you come out yet? Could it be that you are too bold to accept the challenge?" Lee Woo looked around his surroundings, but he couldn't find Lee Lin's figure. He immediately shouted out.

"Let me have a duel with you. . . "
