C26 (1/2)

Early morning. The sun was rising.

The gentle morning sunlight shone on Wu Yunfei's body, instantly making him feel exceptionally comfortable, as if the haze from a few days ago had completely dissipated. Wu Yunfei loved this kind of sunny weather the most, no matter how gloomy his mood was, as long as he could see the clear sky, he would always be happy.

After a few days of adjustment, Wu Yunfei walked towards the direction of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds full of energy. Just as he crossed the lotus pond, Wu Yunfei saw that the Martial Arts Practice Grounds was already bustling with noise and excitement.

The entire martial arts practice field was divided into three areas: the viewing platform, the arena, and the central seating area. The viewing platforms were already filled with people, and all the Patriarchs of the Martial Families in the center of the stage were also gathered.

Wu Yunfei and the other disciples who were participating in the Family Competition all arrived at the small square in front of the arena.

In the noisy crowd, Wu Fan walked towards Wu Yunfei. Wu Fan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise: ”Ninth!” Wu Yunfei had actually come. It had been five years since he had last seen this guy at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds. It was truly a surprise that he had come today. More importantly, it was as if what happened that day did not affect him at all!

”Fifth brother I'm here!” Wu Yunfei patted Wu Fan's shoulder and said with a smile.

”Ha, you think too much? Or was he trying to teach Wu Chen a lesson? ”However …” Wu Fan looked at Wu Yunfei and then paused. He saw that Wu Yunfei acted as if nothing had happened, so he didn't bring up the matter from that day again. He said, ”But it doesn't matter. I'll help you teach that guy a lesson.”

Seeing Wu Fan's straightforward smile, Wu Yunfei knew that Wu Fan was concerned about him, so he didn't mention what had happened that day. Instead, he welcomed him with a smile and said, ”No need. We don't need Fifth Brother to deal with such a person.”

”You little rascal, you are quite ambitious, no wonder you are my ninth brother!” Wu Fan smacked his lips. This guy was crazy. Wu Chen was at the second level of the Profound Origin Stage.

Wu Yunfei? ”You really came?” In the midst of the two, a figure clad in white walked up to them. It was Wu Chen.

”You, a defeated opponent, can come? Why can't I come?” Looking at Wu Yunfei in front of him, Wu Yunfei was not courteous at all.

”How dare you, a scum of the martial arts family steal something!”

”Hmph, let's see how long you can keep up!” Wu Chen said ruthlessly. Seeing that Wu Yunfei still had the same reckless tone, he said, ”You better pray you don't run into me, scum who's trying to steal things. Otherwise, I'll cripple you!”

”Anytime!”

While the two of them were busy scheming, the Martial Ancestor walked to the center of the stage. He was looking at the people on the stage with a majestic gaze. Soon after, he looked towards the middle-aged man sitting on the seat. The middle-aged man nodded his head and a slightly hoarse voice rang out, ”Everyone be quiet!”

The crowd gradually quieted down. When the crowd quieted down, the Great Elder held the Martial Family's ancestral worship ceremony as per usual. After the ancestral worship ceremony, he entered the main topic of the competition.

”Although the purpose of the Family Competition is different from before, the method is still the same. The competition will be conducted in a simple manner, but before that, there will be a test.”

”Before this martial arts competition begins, you will have to go through a test before you can participate in the Family Competition. After the selection, only sixty-four people will be able to participate.” The Great Elder stroked his beard as he spoke.

”Filter? Sixty-four people? ” No one seemed to understand. In the past, Profound Qi and Profound Qi were all at the Profound Origin Stage. As long as they met the age required, they would be eligible to participate in the competition by drawing lots.

”Everyone, please look!” The Head Elder pointed at the red cloth in the middle of the two arenas. With a wave of his hand, three strange stones appeared before everyone's eyes, two of which were facing each other. Above the two stones was a floating stone, and between the three stones was a light blue glow.

”What is this?” Wu Yunfei looked at these three strange stones and could not help but ask Wu Fan beside him. Wu Fan shook his head. He saw the puzzled expression on Wu Fan's face and then saw the curious expressions on everyone's faces. It seemed that no one had seen it before.

”Naturally, no one has ever seen these three strange stones before. This is the potential testing stone that the Patriarch asked a master to build for the Wu Clan. It is used to test the potential of the disciples of the clan!” The hoarse voice said.

”According to the cultivator's age and cultivation, the potential testing stone will determine the test value. The highest potential value is 10, so next, the test will begin. After the test, the competition will officially begin.”

”What are you testing me for? Why don't you just start? Whoever is stronger will win. There's no need to go through all this trouble.” Some people muttered in dissatisfaction.

The Great Elder did not take his dissatisfaction into consideration. The goal of this examination was to select disciples with good potential and focus on training them. As for the upcoming Family Competition, he would adjust the rules and directly announce the start of the exam. When I call out my name, you will come forward and take my test. ” The Great Elder shifted his gaze to a young man and said, ”Wu Qin, you go ahead and take the test first.”

The young man in black standing behind Wu Zongren, the eldest uncle of Wu Yunfei, walked towards the platform without saying anything. This young man in black was the eldest son of Wu Yunfei, Wu Qin, 18 years old, at the fourth level of the Profound Origin Stage.

Wu Qin walked in front of the examination platform. With a calm expression, he glanced at the examination platform and stepped into the middle of the platform. A ray of light instantly fell on Wu Qin's body and enveloped his entire body. ”Nine!” It was actually nine!

The crowd was in an uproar. Wu Qin's potential was actually nine. He was indeed the most talented person under the age of twenty in the Wu family. Wu Qin seemed to have already known the result. He smiled faintly and walked off the platform.

”Wu Qin, Potential Value, 9!” The Great Elder announced with a hoarse voice. He nodded to Wu Qin. This result was within his expectations.

The crowd went into an uproar again. Since young, everyone was eager to give it a try. If Wu Qin's Potential Value was 9, then what would his Potential Value be? Looking at the examination platform in the middle, everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.

”Next, Wu Zhen!”
