Chapter 316: The Zhou Clan’s Clansmen Caught in Self- Doubt

Translator: 549690339

“Patriarch, we can start now.”

Just as Chen Yang and Prince De were talking, Grand Elder Chen Xuan stepped forward and told Chen Yang that the competition could begin.

Chen Yang smiled at Prince De,””Prince De, please excuse me for a moment.”

“Please go ahead, Chen Clan Leader.” Prince De hurriedly said.

Immediately, Yang Chen left his chair and stepped forward. His majestic voice spread throughout the entire martial arts arena.

“It’s the start of the annual clan competition, so 1 won’t waste my time on idle chatter. I hope that everyone will always remember how difficult it was for our ancestors to establish their clans and work hard in cultivation.”

“Today, you are proud to be born in the Chen family. 1 believe that it won’t be long before the Chen family will be proud of you!”

As soon as these words were said, the young clansmen of the Chen family instantly became excited.

It won’t be long before the Chen family will be proud of us!

We will definitely work hard to cultivate and not let down the clan’s expectations of us!

Even the disciples of the royal family were ignited by these words. When would the royal family be proud of them?

Hearing Yang Chen’s words, a hint of fear flashed across Prince De’s eyes.

Indeed, what one saw was better than what one heard. This Yang Chen was indeed powerful! These two short sentences were worth thousands of words of encouragement!

After mobilizing the emotions of his clansmen, Yang Chen continued,”In order to reward everyone, I’ve decided to reward the first place of this family competition with a young demon beast with the bloodline of a demon king.”

As soon as these words were said, the young clansmen of the Chen family instantly boiled over.

He did not expect that the clan would actually reward the first demon king cub. If they could obtain this demon king cub and nurture it for a long time, wouldn’t they be able to be on par with Supremacy Zifu in the future?

It wasn’t just the young members of the Chen family. The members of the royal family who had come with Prince De were also shocked.

The Chen Clan’s clan competition actually had such a reward!

Even their royal family would not take out a demon king cub to reward their clansmen during the clan competition.

Could it be that the resources that the Chen family had already surpassed the royal family?

No matter what these people thought, Yang Chen had achieved his goal. Looking at the young clansmen who were filled with fighting spirit, Yang Chen smiled in satisfaction.

“Everyone, 1 hereby announce the start of the clan competition!”

As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, the sixth elder of the Chen family, Chen Nan, walked to the martial arts practice field.” I will be the judge for this family competition.”

“The first battle, the Direct Line Chen Daoyuan against the Collateral Branch Chen Feng. The battle begins!”

Due to the rapid development of the Chen family, although the Chen family was already ranked as a Rank-8 force, it was even stronger than a Rank-7 force.

However, the number of clansmen in the clan was only equal to that of an ordinary ninth-rank aristocratic family.

This also led to the Chen family’s family competition not having qualifiers, but directly opening the finals, and there was no stage.

With the Chen family’s young clansmen, once they set up the sub-stages, the clan competition would probably be over in less than half a day.

This young family competition could be treated as a family celebration. He had never heard of a celebration that ended in half a day.

Therefore, the Chen family directly used an arena to hold the family competition. Although the scale did not seem to be comparable to the other aristocratic families, at least the time could be balanced.

As Chen Nan’s voice fell, two people walked out from the Chen family’s young clan members.

One of them was dressed in a blue robe and wore a crystal-blue crown on his head.

Don’t look down on that crown. It was an Eighth-Grade Spirit Tool that could nurture a martial artist’s spirit anytime and anywhere.

Judging from his attire, this person was a young master from a wealthy family.

The other person’s attire was a little shabby, but that was only in comparison.

If there was no comparison, that person’s attire was completely comparable to the attire of a direct descendant of an Eighth-rank Aristocrat Family.

These two people were the participants of this year’s Family Competition.

The blue-robed young man was Chen Daoyuan, a direct descendant of the Chen family, and the other was Chen Feng, a collateral relative.

Seeing the two of them walk onto the martial arts field, the royal family members immediately perked up and planned to see the strength of the Chen family members.

However, these people’s eyes were more or less filled with disdain, with a hint of guidance from a superior.

To put it bluntly, this group of people thought that the Chen family was just lucky enough to obtain a puppet.

The strength of their clansmen was equivalent to that of a normal member of an eight-rank aristocratic family. There was nothing much to learn from them.

“Should 1 say it or not, the Chen family members are quite good-looking.”A daughter of the Zhou family laughed.

ii

Just having good looks is not enough. If you want to marry us, you have to be strong enough.”Another daughter of the Zhou family said.

“Compared to strength, I value etiquette more. 1 just don’t know if the Chen family, which has suddenly risen, has any education on etiquette.”

A conflicted look flashed across the eyes of a legitimate woman from the Zhou family. She did not want to marry a vulgar man who did not know etiquette.

“Sigh, it’s difficult. How could this etiquette be cultivated in a short period of time? We should lower our requirements. It’s fine as long as we pass.”Another Di daughter sighed.

While the Zhou Family members were discussing, Chen Daoyuan and Chen Feng were also ready.

ii

Let the competition begin!” Chen Nan quickly said.”

Hearing this, Chen Daoyuan and Chen Feng first bowed to each other. Then, they erupted the spiritual energy in their bodies and fought each other.

This burst of spiritual energy gave the Zhou clan members a fright.

This was because they were shocked to discover that both Chen Daoyuan and Chen Feng were above the seventh level of Qi Refinement.

One had to know that these two people were not older than 20 years old.

The Zhou Clan members might not necessarily surpass them in terms of cultivation in this grade.

“I think the Chen family must have deliberately chosen the most talented clansman in the clan to lead the clan competition in order to leave a good impression on us.”A member of the Zhou Family guessed.

This guess was approved by most of the Zhou Family members.

This was because they could not believe, nor did they want to believe, that the quality of the Chen clan’s clansmen was already comparable to their Zhou clan.

However, this theory was soon shattered by reality.

Almost none of the young members of the Chen clan who went on stage were below the seventh level of Qi Refinement. Even the members of the collateral family were the same.

As for that Chen Mingyu, he had even broken through to the Meridian Unsealing realm before the age of twenty!

At this age and cultivation level, even in the Zhou Consortium, he was a monstrous existence!

“Could it be that the strength of the Chen clan has already caught up to our Zhou clan?”The first daughter of the Zhou family, who had valued the strength of the marriage partner, said in astonishment.

“How is this possible? The Chen family is only at Rank-8. They can only be compared to our Zhou family by relying on puppets?”

The rest of the Zhou clansmen were also shocked.

It was no wonder that the Zhou family members were so puzzled.

Because no one knew that in addition to the huge annual income of spiritual stones, the Chen family also had an annual income equivalent to that of a seventh-rank force outside the Endless Mountain Range.

In addition, there were too few members of the Chen family. The amount of resources that each person could get was an unbelievable number.

Not to mention the Zhou Consortium, even the Li Clan couldn’t compare to the Chen Clan in terms of cultivation resources.

With such a huge amount of resources, even if the Chen family members were not talented, their cultivation speed before opening their meridians was still very impressive.

As a result, the Chen family, which was only an eighth-rank aristocratic family, was comparable to the Zhou family, a sixth-rank aristocratic family.

However, compared to the cultivation base of the Chen Clan, the endless trump cards that he had were what shocked the Zhou Clan the most.

This was because they saw a beastmaster charging to the front with a sword in hand, getting his subdued beast to support him.

In addition, they had never even heard of the various martial arts of the Chen family, let alone seen them.

The most shocking thing was that they actually saw a Chen family member draw an array with his bare hands.

This was simply beyond their knowledge!

If not for the Chen family’s array master Ling You explaining to them that this was a legendary martial arts array, an array master’s initiative to attack.

The meaning was equivalent to martial arts. They thought that the Chen family had produced many array formation experts.

These trump cards had caused the Zhou clansmen to sink into deep self-doubt.

H

So, is the Chen family an eighth-rank aristocratic family, or is our Zhou family an eighth-rank aristocratic family?”A son of the Zhou clan smiled bitterly.

In the VIP seats.

Prince De put away the shock in his eyes and turned to look at Chen Yang.” The nobles actually have so many legendary things?”

Damn it, a martial arts array. Even he had never heard of this before.

Not to mention some martial arts that he had never seen before.

If not for the fact that he was a Prince of the Zhou Consortium, he would have wanted to join the Chen Clan.

“Good luck, just good luck.” Yang Chen smiled.

If it weren’t for the remains of the Yang Gate, the Chen Family wouldn’t have been able to grasp so many trump cards.

After decades of development, the inheritance of the first circle had gradually been inherited by the Chen family.

A large number of martial arts techniques filled the library of the clan, causing

Yang Chen’s father, who was guarding the library, to have a headache.

He had thought that it was an idle job, so he had come over to distribute his waste heat energy.

In the end, he realized that this was not an easy job. It was simply a hot potato.

In order to help his father, Chen Yang had asked the ancestor Chen Tao to return to the Chen family to help his father guard the library.

Moreover, this was only revealed. Those that were not revealed, such as pill formulas, blacksmithing blueprints, array formation blueprints, and so on, were the true trump cards of the Chen family.

With these things, as long as there was enough time, the Chen family could quickly grow stronger.

Back to the main topic.

As time passed, the competition officially came to an end.

Among them, Chen Mingyu obtained the final victory. Under everyone’s envious gazes, Chen Yang handed a demon king cub to Chen Mingyu.

Seeing this, Chen Mingyu said excitedly,”Thank you, Seventh Uncle. I will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive to make my own contribution to the clan as soon as possible!”

“Yes, it’s good that you have such thoughts.”Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

After the Family Competition ended, the two parties officially began the marriage alliance. In order to enhance the relationship between the two parties, Chen Yang specially asked the young members of the Chen family to bring the royal family around Chen City.

Prince De followed behind them in the name of protecting them.

The main reason was that Prince De was afraid that his clansmen would be too domineering and anger the Chen clan.. How could he marry them?
