"What?s the matter?"

Du Shaofu stopped his steps and slightly raised his head as he replied indifferently. This old man was naturally someone Du Shaofu recognized. The steward of the Du family's backyard, whose status was lower than the steward of the Du family's front yard. However, his status in the Du Family was already considered quite high, and he normally did not place him in his eyes. As for other young masters, he would show some greeting manner in the distance.

"Today is the day of the annual competition among the descendants. This time, the reward is extremely high. Why aren't you going? Don't blame me for not informing you. This is a rare opportunity."

Du Hai stuck out his proud and tall chest. It's like this news he had told Du Shaofu was an act of charity. He looked at Du Shaofu with a bit of sarcasm and ridicule. It's useless for a fool to take part in the contest.

"Is this the day of the annual competition again?"

Du Shaofu felt that time was passing really fast, and he didn't pay any attention to Du Hai as he walked away.

"This fool, he really wants to participate in the competition? How could there be such a fool in Du Family?" Looking at Du Shaofu's back, Du Hai sneered indifferently. He left with a tune and his hands on his back. There were still some new maidservants waiting for him to teach them, otherwise he would have gone to see the hustle and bustle.

Every year, the competition among the descendants is held in the drilling ground of the Du family. When Du Shaofu arrived at the drill ground, he heard the noise and headed towards it. Du Shaofu also wanted to see the hustle and bustle.

At the center of the drill ground, hundreds of school-age teenagers from the main branch and the side branch families were waiting for the test. Several exceptionally outstanding boys and girls were standing there proudly while the other boys and girls crowded behind them.

"Hey, look, that fool has come."

When Du Shaofu arrived at the drill grounds, some people noticed him immediately. Following that, more and more eyes fell on Du Shaofu.

"I heard that the fool seems to have recovered. I don't know if it's true or not."

"It's thought that he is a lost case. In the beginning, so much human and financial resources were wasted by the family and he was not cured. Now it's thought that it is difficult for him to recover."

"Ha ha, even idiots come to participate in the family competition. Trying to compare to other idiots?"

"This fool has come to participate in the family competition. I'm afraid he's here to seek a beating."

"If this fool was normal, he would be a handsome guy. He's pretty good-looking."

"?"

Following the attacks of Du Hao and the other two, the sounds of ridicule could not be ignored. Many of the girls looked at Du Shaofu with regret in their eyes.

With a light sigh at the ridicule, the disdain and regret the surrounding crowd was sending over without restraint, on Du Shaofu's resolute face, his pitch-black eyes stiffly swept over the members of this ridiculing family. However, his eyes were still clear and bright, as if the ridicule and disdain did not affect his mood.

Suddenly, Du Shaofu seemed to feel something. As he slightly raised his head, he saw that among the group of youths in the plaza who were about the same age as him, many eyes had also landed on him. Among them, Du Gui, whom he had taught a lesson, was currently looking at him with cold eyes, whispering something to the ears of a well-dressed youth beside him.

Du Shaofu recognized the well-dressed youth. He was called Du Chong, Du Gui's older brother and one of the most outstanding young generation members of the Du Family.

Beside Du Chong was Du Hao, a person who Du Shaofu was familiar with, and another person called Du Yan, also a youth Du Shaofu was familiar with.

Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan, the three of them were currently standing in the center of the arena, surrounded by many youths and young girls. This showed the extraordinary status that the three of them possessed amongst their peers.

Not knowing what Du Gui had said to Du Chong, Du Chong's eyes are cold, and immediately looked over from afar. Then Du Hao and Du Yan also cast cold gazes from afar. Obviously, there was no good intention in those eyes.

Du Shaofu's eyes fell on Du Hao, Du Chong and Du Yan. These three were the ones who stole his monthly pills all those years ago. That is to say, these three people were the main culprits.

The corners of his mouth slowly raised in a harsh arc. Following that, Du Shaofu's face revealed a faint smile as he shook his head and sighed to himself. Then, he walked slowly forward, looking for a better position to watch the show.

"What is this fool doing here?"

"It's better to stay away from this fool, so as to not catch his foolishness."

Seeing Du Shaofu coming, the people from the Du Family along the way all looked as if they were hiding from the plague, with indifferent expressions. Their eyes were filled with despicable hate. No one wanted to stand with Du Shaofu at all.

"Second Master is here."

At this moment, a group of Du Family elders came to the arena, immediately agitating the spectators around the arena.

"Greetings to Second Master and the Elders."

Everyone around the drill grounds, including Du Chong, Du Gui, Du Yan and the other youths and young girls, immediately bowed respectfully towards the row of Du Family elders.

"No need for formalities."

Amongst a group of Du Family elders, a sturdy-looking man at the front waved his long sleeves, and looked at the surrounding descendants of the Du Family's side branches and main branch disciples. His eyes revealed his gratification and anticipation. Following that, his eyes swept across the surrounding crowd, and in the end, passed through the crowd and directly landed on Du Shaofu who was standing in the middle arena.

"This time, second uncle is going to be the abbot, huh."

Towards that muscular man, the look in Du Shaofu's eyes softened. That's his second brother, Du Zhixiong, who had been good to him since he was young, and was also a famous expert in the entire Stone City. He always awed many dissatisfied forces within Du family with his fierce style.

Du Zhixiong's eyes stopped unexpectedly on Du Shaofu's body for a while, but didn't say anything more. After that, his gaze fell on Du Hao, the eager youths and young girls, and said in a clear voice: "Do your brothers and sisters understand the rules? You shall not harm the other if he had admitted defeat. First it was a knockout match,when there are only 12 players left in this knockout competition, then you draw lots to decide your rival until"

"Understood!"

Listening to the big man's question, one by one young girls immediately rang the neat shouts. However, their eyes were currently focused on a long table not far away. Two brocade boxes and a jade bottle the size of a baby was placed on it. Their eyes were blazing, and they seemed to know what was inside.

The sturdy man nodded his head in satisfaction and continued: "This time, the last three of you, the first one will be able to obtain the foundation baptism of the Wild Stone Demon Wolf's Blood Essence. The second and third places will each receive a Foundation Establishment Pill. Others who perform well will also be rewarded."

"The foundation of the Wild Stone Demon Wolf's Blood Essence. When the time comes, we might be able to obtain the innate ability of the Demon Wolf."

"This time, the family has really put in a lot of effort for these juniors. Let's see who can get their hands on the Wild Stone Demonic Wolf's Blood Essence baptism foundation."

The blood in the bodies of the young boys and girls immediately boiled up. Whether it was the Blood Essence of the Wild Stone Demon Wolf or the Foundation Establishment Pills, the temptation was huge.

"The Blood Essence of the Wild Stone Demon Wolf, I must get it!"

Du Hao clenched his fists slightly, and his eyes flashed red. It's difficult for the whole Du family to support the Wild Stone Demon Wolf's blood essence for foundation baptism for several times, and the benefits in the future could be easily imagined. So this time, he had to obtain the foundation baptized by the Wild Stone Demon Wolf's Blood Essence and break through to the Innate Stage.

"It's really rich and attractive."

Hearing the prizes, Du Shaofu's heart beat faster. If it was in the past, it didn't matter, but now that he could cultivate, the meaning would naturally be different.
