C20 Sorry I Overslept

When the ground was completely covered by the golden sunlight, the training grounds of the Jiang Family had long since been packed with people.

Today was the most important day of the Jiang Family, which was the annual Jiang Family Competition Competition. The outstanding disciples from the West Branch would shine greatly here, so as to obtain more resources for themselves.

Now that three days had already passed and Jiang Family's Competition s were about to begin, all sorts of forces were secretly watching the progress of Jiang Family's Competition s. After all, Jiang Family was one of the three great powers in Tanshan City, and it had a great influence.

The Jiang Family training grounds was filled with a black mass of figures, some indifferent, some with a serious expression on their face as they looked at the stage, where the four courtyards had clearly divided, and in the center was an empty training grounds. At the east side of the training grounds, three aged figures were standing on the ground apologetically.

The leading old man in the gray robe frowned slightly, he glanced at the Northern Court camp, a complicated look flashing past his eyes. The two old men behind him saw the old man acting in such a manner, and laughed coldly: "Clan leader, the Competition is about to begin, what are you waiting for?"

The unkind tone of the two old men behind him made Jiang Yintian frown in dissatisfaction. However, since he was afraid of the identity of the two, he did not get angry, but instead said with a serious face: "I'm afraid that we cannot start since the disciples of Jiang Family have not arrived yet."

He saw Jiang Chenshan sitting on a purple bench, dressed in a clean black robe. Beside him, there were four young men, as well as a beautiful girl in pink clothes, but there was no one that he was looking for.

"Nan? Why aren't you back yet? "Today is the Competition Great Assembly." Jiang Yintian had a complicated expression on his face as he murmured to himself. Hearing the old man's words, the two old men in green robes behind him couldn't help but sneer.

The slightly short old man walked up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Yintian. He said with some ridicule: "Patriarch, please start the Competition. I'm afraid the brat in your mouth won't be able to come, haha."

"That's right, Lord Clan Chief, the good fortune is about to arrive, please begin your Competition." The long-faced old man behind him said coldly, his eyes flashing with an unfriendly light. Jiang Yintian instantly snorted, and his sharp aura burst out. Feeling the terrifying Soul Suppression from Jiang Yintian, the two old men couldn't help but take a few steps back, their faces turning pale.

"Grand Elder, Second Elder, remember, what I say is the truth!" Jiang Yintian glanced at the two old men with disdain and snorted coldly.

He stood there with a gloomy face and did not dare to speak anymore. After all, the person standing in front of them was Jiang Yintian, who had reached the Peak of Martial Master Stage. With their late stage Martial Master strength, they could not fight against Jiang Yintian.

Jiang Yintian retracted his gaze, and looked at the sun that was hanging high in the sky, indicating that it was already noon, while there was no movement from the Northern Court side. Jiang Yintian also knew that he couldn't delay the Competition s' convention any longer, and there were already sounds of dissatisfaction coming from the surroundings.

Thinking about that, Jiang Yintian coughed, his grey robe was lifted by the breeze, and his white hair was blown into disorder. The old man walked up a few steps, and arrived at the training grounds, looked at the experts who came from all directions, and his own disciples of Jiang Family, pursed his lips into a smile, and said in a clear voice: "Thank you all for coming to support us, today is my Jiang Family's Competition Assembly, and all of you will witness the birth of my most outstanding genius in Jiang Family. Here, I thank you all first."

Saying that, Jiang Yintian bent down slightly and looked at everyone with a frown. He then stood up and waved his hand: "Okay, this old man will announce that the Competition has officially begun."

Bang, bang, bang. As soon as the old man finished speaking, three powerful beams of light shot out from the center of the training field, shooting into the sky and forming a pattern of fireworks. It looked extremely charming, causing the atmosphere in the training grounds to become lively.

"First, we will be testing the meridians. Disciples of the fourth courtyard, please prepare well. If I am to announce the names, please come forward."

In the center of the training grounds stood a green robed old man, his face was long as he looked at the surrounding four courtyards, and when he saw the Northern Court camp, a look of disdain flashed past his eyes, and then, the old man looked straight ahead, and spoke with a clear voice.

After Jiang Yintian finished announcing the start of the Competition, he went back to the side and sat on the chair, waiting for the start of the conference. At the same time, the old man was also hoping that Jiang Nan would hurry back.

"First, East Branch Jiang Mo."

The Great Elder's face was grave as he shouted to the East Branch. Hearing what was said, a young man in an azure and white robe walked out from the East Branch camp. He walked up to the Great Elder and respectfully nodded, before placing his left hand in the Great Elder's ice-cold hand.

Immediately, a sharp aura spread out from Jiang Mo's arm, the first elder used his battle qi to check Jiang Mo's meridians, and not long after, the first elder let go of his left hand in satisfaction and said loudly: "East yard Jiang Mo, middle stage warrior, next."

Jiang Mo looked at the astonished and envious expression around him. He couldn't help but raise his chest proudly, bowed to the Great Elder, and walked down the stage.

Next, one by one, the Fourth Courtyard disciples began to follow the Great Elder's instructions.

Unknowingly, the Great Elder had already tested more than half of them. There were more than ten early stage warrior disciples in the four Academies, but not a single one had Northern Court up till now.

"Next, Northern Court Jiang Hao, Northern Court Jiang Ying'er." The Great Clan Elder glanced at the Northern Court and could not help but shake his head in ridicule, as he shouted out lazily.

It was this Great Elder, if not for him, Jiang Nan would not have fallen down to the back mountain, and after becoming a trash, Jiang Nan would have been chased out by the Great Elder. Therefore, in Jiang Family, the person Jiang Nan should hate the most was not Jiang Tian, but the Great Elder.

Jiang Chenshan took a deep breath, looked at the man and woman beside him, then instructed them in a deep voice: "Do your best, to save some face for Northern Court."

"Yes, don't worry, Master." Jiang Hao led Jiang Ying'er out of the Northern Court camp and listened to Jiang Chenshan's instructions, naturally agreeing.

The two of them walked to the center of the training field with calm expressions. Under everyone's disdainful expressions, the two of them stretched out their hands.

The Great Elder looked at the two of them and curled his lips in disdain. He stretched out both of his hands and clenched them coldly in the left hand of the two, and a tyrannical aura seeped in. In an instant, Jiang Hao and Jiang Ying'er's faces turned pale, and they initially wanted to struggle free from the Great Elder's grasp, but they found that they could not move at all.

After a long while, Jiang Hao and Jiang Ying'er finally broke out in a cold sweat, but the Great Elder revealed a surprised expression. He let go of their small hands and stared in disbelief, shouting loudly: "Northern Court Jiang Hao, middle stage warrior, Northern Court Jiang Ying'er, middle stage warrior."

Whoosh …

When the Great Elder's words came out, the entire audience instantly erupted in a clamor, and everyone looked at the two of them with expressions of disbelief. They had never imagined that the Northern Court would actually be able to find another disciple with a breakthrough of three meridians.

Jiang Ling'er stood within the East Branch's camp, looking at the two of them with a surprised expression on her face. She then pursed her lips and let out a faint laugh.

Northern Court would finally no longer be ranked fourth this year. At the very least, they already had the qualifications to compete with the other three Academies.

Jiang Tian and Jiang Wen looked at each other. A stern expression flashed across their faces. The two of them nodded in tacit understanding. No one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Mn, not bad, not bad. Northern Court will finally produce results this year." The Great Elder stroked his white beard and nodded his head in satisfaction. He watched the two of them walk off the stage.

"Next, West Branch Jiang Wen, South Courtyard Jiang Tian, East Courtyard Jiang Ling'er, all of you come up together."

Due to the limited time, the Great Elder shouted out once. He looked at the factions of the three courtyards and a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes.

The three of them walked out without any change in their expressions when they heard this. They slowly walked in front of the First Elder and respectfully cupped their hands together before bowing.

Feeling this kind of coldness, the Great Elder pursed his lips in surprise. He chuckled and said to the three of them, "All of you are the future pillars of my Jiang Family, so don't disappoint me."

He took a step forward and a terrifying aura rippled out. Looking at the golden Dou Qi, the three of them revealed a serious expression and they used all of their Dou Qi to rush straight towards the First Elder.

The Great Elder could not help but nod his head in satisfaction as he watched the two men and one woman fight. With a loud cry, an invisible force shot out. The faces of Jiang Ling'er and the other two paled as they clutched their chests and took a few steps back.

The scene returned to silence.

After a long time, the Great Elder's praising voice could be heard. Upon hearing the voice, everyone widened their eyes.

"Tsk, tsk. Not bad. Jiang Ling'er and Jiang Tian have broken through to the peak of the late stage of the Warrior. Jiang Wen is also at the late stage. Looks like my Jiang Family is about to rise." The Head Elder pursed his lips, stroking his beard and sighed in his heart.

… ….

"The Jiang Family is really going to stand out this time. I'm afraid that the Zheng Family and the Blood Knife Sect will be uneasy."

"Haha, that's true, but that's also the strength of Jiang Family."

"Don't you still have that Jiang Nan brat?" Why didn't I see his appearance? He is a genius of Jiang Family ah. "

"That kid has already become a trash. Sigh, ignore him. Let's continue watching."

Hearing the incessant discussions and sighs from the surroundings, everyone from the Jiang Family stuck out their chests in confidence. After today's performance, their Jiang Family were more than enough to stand at the top of the Tanshan City.

When Jiang Yintian heard this, he frowned. There was still no movement from the Northern Court side, causing the old man to feel uneasy.

"Did something happen to Nan?" Jiang Yintian whispered. Thinking of this, his expression changed. Just as he was about to stand up, the Great Elder's voice sounded again.

"Last one, where's Northern Court, Jiang Nan?"

Once the Great Elder's shout was heard, Jiang Yintian's heart trembled. He knew that it was too late to look for Jiang Nan, because if Jiang Nan was unable to come, his status as a Competition would be revoked. Thinking of this, the old man clenched his fist in worry.

At the side of the Northern Court, everyone was also nervously looking at the training field. Jiang Chenshan subconsciously clenched his fists, and looked around. Even though there were no signs of Jiang Nan, he could not help but anxiously mutter: "Nan, why aren't you here yet?"

"Where is Northern Court, Jiang Nan? Do not delay ". The Great Elder shouted again with a gloomy face. Seeing that there was still no one around him, a cold look appeared on his face. He shouted with a deep voice, "Since Jiang Nan is not here, then this old man will announce …"

"Wait a minute."

Just as the Great Elder was about to announce that Jiang Nan was disqualified from the Competition s competition, a low shout suddenly came from below the stage. Hearing the voice, everyone subconsciously looked over.

A young man in a black robe ran over like the wind. He jumped onto the training field with a stride and arrived before the First Elder. His long hair fluttered in the wind, covering the depths of the young man's eyes.

"Hehe, sorry, I overslept."
