Chen Chu returned to the room as if he was relieved of a heavy burden. He laid on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
Now, he had already done his best. As for tomorrow's fate, it all depended on luck.
Deep into the night, the entire Chen Family had quietened down, and only one area was still lit with candle flames.
Chen Tong's face was covered in sweat, his entire body was stiff. Right now, he was at the critical point of his promotion, the Genuine Qi in his body continued to appear around him, and finally wrapped him up like a cocoon.
As time passed, a red sun jumped on the horizon and scattered sunlight down on every corner of the Wanbei City. Through the windows, the entire room suddenly trembled and a faint heartbeat sounded from within the cocoon, following that, the white Genuine Qi barrier fiercely exploded as a human figure quickly shot out from within. With a palm strike that shattered the sturdy roof, he took profound steps and flew into the air.
Chen Tong was very excited, the Genuine Qi did not want money, so he poured everything they had into their feet. The green cloud became even more focused, and with an extremely fast speed, it rushed towards a corner in the northwest.
Moments later, Chen Tong's figure appeared in the yard Chen Chu was in. He excitedly pushed open the wooden door, but saw an empty room.
"This kid, where did he go so early in the morning?"
Chen Tong sighed in disappointment. Thinking that it was the day of the Family Competition and he still needed to take charge of the related matters, Chen Tong helplessly shook his head and quickly left.
One could not blame Chen Tong for being impatient, it was really Chen Chu who had given him such a huge surprise. That unknown pill had allowed him to raise his level in one night, without any side effects.
It must be known that every level of Genuine Essence Stage had a huge difference in strength. With his current strength, it was not difficult for him to fight against two of them. Chen Tong was no longer afraid of the Ye and Jin families, it was only a matter of time before he would become the number one family in Wangbei Town.
If this kind of pill could be mass-produced, his Chen Family could even become an overlord of a region. However, this sort of thought was immediately extinguished by Chen Tong the moment it came out.
This Family Competition was able to determine the two Heavenly South Academy student slots. Currently, amongst the young clansmen of the Chen Family Clan, there were more than ten who were at least at the seventh stage of Qi Refinement Stage and they could still be seen normally, but in the recent few weeks, it seemed like they had been cultivating in seclusion.
The most competitive one was undoubtedly the ninth stage of Qi Refinement Stage, Chen Man. Her strength was enough to look down on all the young clansmen, and her talent was only second to Chen Chu three years ago.
In addition, there were two other youths of the eighth level of Qi Refinement Stage. They were Chen Su and Chen Qian who were enemies with Chen Chu last time. Chen Chu did not interact much with the latter, but to be able to reach this level at the age of seventeen, he was definitely not a mediocre person.
"This is going to be difficult."
Looking at the destroyed bamboo forest in front of him, Chen Chu gasped for breath as he muttered to himself.
Chen Chu looked at the sky and saw that it was already morning, so he gave up and excitedly went down the back of the mountain.
In a wide area at the center of Chen Family, beside a tall platform built with red cedar trees, Chen Tong was socializing with the distinguished guests from all over the Wanbei City, exchanging some compliments.
The high platform was filled with tables and chairs. A lot of people were already seated. Chen Chu looked at his father, who was very busy, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Young master, what's making you so happy?"
Xiaowan's voice came from behind him. Chen Chu pulled up the seat beside her and gestured for her to sit down. Then he said, "Father usually handles his family's affairs calmly and calmly. He rarely sees her embarrassed expression."
Xiaowan couldn't help but cover her mouth when she heard that. At this moment, Chen Chu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
About ten minutes later, most of the guests had arrived. Some of them were wealthy businessmen and gentlemen with familiar faces. It was a lively scene.
With an ear-piercing gong sound, Chen Chu was dragged from his chair by the Second Elder into the crowd.
As long as people at the fifth stage of Qi Refinement Stage or above were among them, Chen Man, who was leading the group of youths, was currently leading them to the stage to draw lots. Sensing that something was wrong behind them, Chen Chu turned around and immediately saw Chen Su, who was staring at him from not too far away.
Ignoring that unfriendly gaze, Chen Chu turned around. Seeing that it was his turn to draw, he quickly walked onto the stage.
Being ignored by Chen Chu, Chen Su was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me meet you in the Family Competition. I will break your teeth when the time comes!"
Chen Chu took out a bamboo stick from the wooden box. At the end of the bamboo stick was a red word: "Eight".
There were more than forty people who met the requirements for the Family Competition, and they were divided into 21 groups.
Group Eight, Chen Chu was in the eighth group and the drawing of lots was not over yet. Chen Chu did not know who was in front of him, but as long as his opponent was below Mortal Realm Stage 8, he was confident that he could win.
Soon, the drawing of lots was over. Groups of youths began to compete on the high platform. From time to time, cheers and cheers could be heard from the audience. The scene was quite lively.
As a War God cultivator, Chen Chu was not interested in the competition between the youths on the stage, so he walked towards his father who was sitting in the middle of the VIP seats.
As a precaution, he decided to personally confirm it.
Hugging his shoulders, Chen Chu weaved between the seats as if nothing had happened, and quickly came to his father's side. Chen Tong, who was talking to a middle-aged man, apologized slightly, then pulled Chen Chu close to him and whispered in his ear: "Chu'er, what kind of pill did you feed me yesterday?"
Chen Chu wanted to laugh when he saw his father's cautious appearance. This was extremely against the usual serious appearance.
"That is a second stage pill, it has a small chance of increasing the strength of a Genuine Essence Stage Ranker."
In order to not surprise his father, Chen Chu made up a white lie. He shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "It took me a whole week to make that thing. Besides, one of the herbs called Bone Ablutionary Flower is extremely rare. I just got it by chance."
Chen Tong had never even heard of the medicinal ingredients that Chen Chu had mentioned before. Thus, he had no choice but to give up the restless thoughts in his heart.
"Father, why are you asking about this? Did you break through?"
Chen Chu acted as if he did not know what to say, but before he could finish, his father had already covered his mouth and nodded to him.
"Next match, Group Eight."
Patriarch Three's voice came from the stage. Chen Chuqiang, holding back his laughter, ran down from the VIP seats and walked towards the Family Competition stage.
"Come on young master."
As Xiaowan's melodious voice rang out, Chen Chu made an OK gesture and quickly went up onto the stage.
