C38 Jubilee Annual Meeting

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The entire Linxing City welcomed the annual most important ceremony, the annual Meet. Every household had their own lanterns and festoons. It was jubilant and bustling with noise and excitement.

And what was even more anticipated was the great and small powers within the city fighting over the annual gathering. To the commoners, this was an extremely interesting contest. To the clans and forces in the city, this had a different meaning.

As one of the three great forces, the Pu Jia had already fallen into the hands of the Situ Family and the Lei Family for a few years already. But this year, their condition was still not optimistic. Even then, every household within Linxing City had an undiminished enthusiasm.

The biggest plaza in the city was already one month ago. He had built a martial arts arena that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the center, there was a square platform.

There were neat rows of spectators, and the crowd had arrived early to wait. It was a black mass with a sea of people and a tumultuous atmosphere.

"I wonder who won first place this year!"

"If it's not the Lei Clan, then it's the Situ Clan. Lei Li and Situ Feng have both reached the sixth level of Qi Refining."

"Looks like Pu Jia is third again this year."

"Hehe, third? Not necessarily! I heard the news. It is said that both the Lei and Situ Families have spoken at the same time, making it so that Pu Jia cannot get third place this year. "

...

The crowd clamored, the audience's discussions revealed their anticipation. There was another high platform to the east. Three chairs were placed on the counter. The distance between each chair was nearly twenty meters. Everyone understood that this was a place where only the Patriarchs of the three great clans of the city could sit.

As time passed, the audience stands gradually filled up. Many people from the Situ and Lei Families were also here. On the east side of the high platform, the Lei Clan's Lei Clan's patriarch and the Situ Clan's patriarch all sat down. Behind them were all the elders and higher-ups standing in the clan. The Situ Yan who had gone to Pu Jia to propose also stood behind Situ Kuang.

Lei Bao turned to look at the empty chair on the left, then chuckled: "This Pu Yuelin is truly arrogant, coming so slowly?"

Situ Kuang's thick eyebrows jumped up, a trace of contempt gushing out from his eyes, "How long can he last? "Hrmph."

"Hehe, Situ, I heard that your family's Situ Feng had his marriage rescinded by the Pu Jia?"

"So what if I am? Don't you want this to happen? If Pu Jia and I fall out, wouldn't your Lei Family be laughing? "

Having his thoughts exposed by Situ Kuang, Lei ruthlessly rubbed his nose. The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, "Situ, why don't our two families work together?"

"Oh?" Situ Kuang was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood, "You mean …?"

"That's right, after today's annual meeting. You and I will work together to eradicate the Pu Jia, what do you think? " Lei Bao did not have the slightest intention of avoiding the topic. Of course, the environment of the arena was extremely noisy. Other than the few Elders and higher-ups behind them, who could hear the conversation, no one else knew.

"The Pu Jia's team is here."

It was also at this moment that Pu Jia's team, which was the Hao Wu Tang group, arrived. Clan Chief Pu Yuelin, along with a few elders of Pu Yuehua also ascended the high platform to the east, and revealed a faint smile.

"Haha, Lei Bao, Situ, you're all here? We're not late, are we? "Haha."

Situ Kuang coldly snorted and ignored him. As for Lei Bao, he replied with great interest, "Not too late, not too late. Who doesn't know that you, Grand Elder, are busy with official matters? Hiding at home all day long, is he studying some kind of absolute art? Oh, by the way, how are the injuries of the disciples? I, Lei, was not strict with my discipline and accidentally let my son injure them. I am truly sorry. "

These words sounded like an apology, but it was especially ear-piercing. A hint of mockery could be seen on Lei Chen's face.

"Clan leader Lei, please pay attention to your words." Pu Yuehua coldly shouted.

"Hehe, I am a coarse person who does not understand elegance. Please forgive me, haha."

"No worries, hur hur." Pu Yuelin waved his hand, signalling to Pu Yuehua that there was no need to say anything else. He then flung his sleeves and sat down gracefully in his seat. The group of elders from the Pu Jia also stood behind him one after another.

The Pu Jia's group sat down in their respective areas one after another. Han Chen and Shen Yu sat in the front row. The intimate relationship between the two was really like that of a couple.

The residents of Linxing City had long heard that because of the love she had with her, the young miss of Pu Jia had reneged on the marriage with the young master of the Situ Family.

As such, countless pairs of eyes in the audience uniformly swept towards Han Chen and Shen Yu's location. For a time, the entire arena was once again filled with discussion.

"Is that Miss Shen Yu's lover?"

"He looks pretty good, but compared to young master Situ Feng, he's just lacking a bit."

"More than a little bit? "It is said that he is only at the 2nd level of the Qi Refining stage. What can he use to compete with young master Situ Feng, who is at the 6th level of the Qi Refining?"

"Sigh, I really don't know what Miss Shen Yu is thinking. I don't think it's worth it even for Young Master Situ. "

...

The voices, mixed with many voices criticizing Han Chen. They had all belittled him to such an extent that even Situ Feng had been praised to the heavens. Han Chen made his teeth itch with hatred, and subconsciously stared at Shen Yu.

"See!" "I'll do you a favor, now that the whole city is in turmoil, I will soon become public enemy number one."

"I didn't know things would turn out like this!" Shen Yu pouted her lips and opened her eyes wide as if it was none of her business, "Besides, my reputation is almost ruined now. "I still don't know if I'll be able to get married in the future!"

The corner of Han Chen's eyes twitched, he sighed helplessly: "Alright, if you can't marry out, then come and find me!"

"Really? Will you marry me? " Shen Yu's eyes lit up, and his cheeks flushed red.

"Marry you? "If you can't get married, I'll help you find a wife, haha."

"You, you hate it."

The two of them started to joke around, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was just flirting. Some of the spectators supporting Situ Feng were secretly unhappy with Han Chen.

As time passed, the competition got closer and closer. A middle-aged man dressed as a referee slowly ascended the middle stage. Zhang Xuan waved his hands and the scene quieted down.

"The annual Clan Assembly War has begun again. Where is your passion?"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The entire audience was celebrating. Those who were prepared to participate were all rubbing their fists and wiping their palms. Those who had come to watch the battle began to make a ruckus. He had come here for the sake of creating a lively scene.

This wasn't the first time the referee had hosted a match like this. He first bowed slightly towards the three patriarchs on the eastern platform, then he cupped his fists and bowed to the other smaller sects and clans.

After doing all this, he continued, "I believe everyone understands the rules of the competition. In order to be fair, anyone who won two matches in a row could choose to step down and rest. Other than that, there are no other rules. Who will start today's first battle? "

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The atmosphere on the stage instantly changed. Cheers rang out, and the cheers shook the sky!

As soon as the referee's voice fell, two figures rushed up the arena from different directions. And Han Chen actually recognized one of them. He was the second young master of the Situ Family, Situ Yi, who had fought with Pu Jia before.

"It's young master Situ. I knew he would be the first to go onstage."

"That's how positive his character is."

To put it nicely, this is called positive. To put it harshly, this was called impatience. Situ Yi's opponent was a tall and sturdy man. His sturdy muscles seemed to be filled with explosive strength.

The referee quickly stepped down from the stage and retreated over ten meters away. Then, he loudly shouted, "First battle of the Annual Assembly, begin!"

"Hehe, if you don't want to die, then scram!" Situ Yi was still as arrogant as before, his face full of contempt and disdain.

The muscular man's eyes turned cold, then he raised his head and actually let out a wolf-like howl.

"Innate divine ability, Wolf!"

The audience gasped in surprise before the man's hind leg lashed out with a 'sou' sound. It pounced straight at Situ Yi.

"Hmph, just a stupid dog!" What are you yelling for! " Situ Yi calmly circulated his Martial Energy and gathered it in the center of his palm. When it pounced over, it directly extended its two palms to meet the opponent.

Bang! As the two intersected, a muffled sound rang out in the air. The two of them involuntarily retreated a few steps. However, the tall and sturdy man who was the first to launch an attack actually retreated a bit further back.

The first battle had begun just like that. Situ Yi's strength was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either. His opponent's cultivation was inferior to his, but he had the gift of a wolf, so he wouldn't be eliminated the moment he attacked.

"Hmph, that Situ Yi is really annoying." Shen Yu frowned, and shouted softly: "I really want to kick him down."

Han Chen laughed, he turned and asked: "Then, are you prepared to participate in the competition?"

"I don't want to go. I'm only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and I can't help the clan take first place."

"Fifth level of the Qi Refining stage?" Han Chen could not help but be taken aback, and asked tentatively, "Aren't you at the fourth level of Qi Refinement?"

"That's right! But I had a breakthrough last night! " Shen Yu's face was innocent and there was a trace of mischief between her beautiful eyebrows.

Han Chen had been completely defeated by her, Shen Yu was truly a genius. Ever since they got to know each other, he hadn't seen her train seriously a few times. However, her strength kept increasing. Competing with someone else was truly infuriating.

On the high platform to the east, the three clan leaders watched the battle on the stage indifferently. Lei Xiong suddenly turned his head and laughed, "Hehe, Clan Leader Pu, I wonder what rank your Pu Jia wishes to take this year?"

"Oh? What? Why are you asking this? "

"It's nothing. I'm just curious. I'm just asking. I'm just trying to find out more about you. Hur Hur."

Lei smiled mischievously, but there was a hint of smugness in his tone. Situ Kuang couldn't help but to turn his head around. However, when Pu Yuelin lifted his eyelids, his eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness.

"Hoh, so what if he's in last place?"
