The Lu Family’s training field was located on the eastern side of the Lu Family Residence. It was extremely spacious and had no trouble accommodating a hundred thousand people.

In the middle of the training field, there was an enormous platform that was made from stainless steel rocks that spanned two hundred meters in width and length.

There were majestic grandstands built on the northern, eastern, and western sides of the training field.

The northern grandstand was the main grandstand, reserved for the Lu Family. The eastern and western grandstands were for influential families within Fiery Wind City.

At that moment, seven grey-haired elders sat on the very top of the grandstand. These elders were the seven Elders at the core of the Lu Family’s Elder Council.

The Core Elders in the Lu Family’s Elder Council were all handpicked by the family themselves as the most qualified and renowned members. They were all working for the sake of the Lu Family, which was why they were the most appropriate and would not be biased towards a particular branch; ultimately having the Lu Family’s best interest at heart.

Lu Yunxiong, the Lu Family’s First Branch Elder, was seated slightly further down below. At his side, a maiden around the age of fifteen was seated as well. Dressed in a snow-white dress, her beauty was simply indescribable. It was Lu Yao.

“First Branch Elder Lu, congratulations! I heard your daughter has unparalleled talent, awakening a Fifth Level blood meridian. Her future is limitless!”

The Li Family’s Lord, Li Fu, congratulated the First Branch Elder with flattery.

“Thank you,” the First Branch Elder replied simply.

All other families and renowned figures in the Fiery Wind City then approached the First Branch Elder to congratulate him.

The First Branch Elder simply nodded in acknowledgment.

Roar! Roar!

At that moment, the roars of wild beasts rang from a distant street. The sound pierced the skies as if there were tens of thousands of demons charging in.

After a moment, over ten giant blood-red tigers appeared in front of the audience. They were two meters tall and spanned a width over four meters.

A silhouette donned in a fiery red garb was seated on each giant tiger, and fierce aura along with scorching breath permeated the entire area.

“Flame Tigers. They’re from the White Tiger Hall, one of the Five Halls of the Mystical Sword Sect.”

“Could they be from the Duanmu Family’s Lord?”

There were exclamations coming from the crowd.

“For the White Tiger Hall to take the initiative in sending someone over, could they be aiming to recruit Lu Yao as a disciple?” Someone guessed.

The First Branch Elder stood up with a woosh and descended the grandstand, his face filled with excitement. “For the Mystical Sword Sect’s White Tiger Hall to pay a visit, it is my fault for not welcoming you outside the gates. Please forgive me!” he clasped his fists.

“Haha, you’re too courteous, First Branch Elder! I am Duanmu Qing, who works for the Mystical Sword Sect’s White Tiger Hall. I am here today to congratulate Lu Yao on the accession as the Lu Family’s Lord, and also to officially recruit Lu Yao as a disciple of the White Tiger Hall,” said a middle-aged man in a fiery red garb who was seated on the largest Flame Tiger.

“You are too polite, envoy. Please, take a seat,” the First Branch Elder replied with a smile on his face.

Duanmu Qing smiled. He and another two men dismounted from their Flame Tigers and arrived at the main grandstand. The other people directed their Flame Tigers to the side.

“It seems that Lu Yao does have terrifying talents. There’s still another two months before the Mystical Sword Sect officially recruits disciples, and people would normally be the ones to approach them. They would have to go through strict tests, and only the ones who passed would be able to join. It’s truly a rare sight for the Mystical Sword Sect to personally come and recruit someone.”

“Indeed! They say that Lu Yao has attracted the attention of a genius from the Duanmu Family of the Mystical Sword Sect. Her future looks really promising!”

“The Lu Family really got themselves an extraordinary genius this time, one that outshines even Lu Yuntian!”

The people all around were discussing heatedly.

Shriek!

At that moment, a loud, sharp cry resounded through the sky. Even if it was from a great distance, it could still be heard.

The crowd’s eyes involuntarily darted in that direction. Then, their eyes widened in awe.

There was a gigantic snow-white goshawk with a wingspan of fifty meters.

It had talons as pointed as blades, and its eyes were extremely sharp. The crowd shivered and broke into a sweat as the goshawk scanned its eyes across the people.

Several figures stood atop the goshawk.

“A silent snow goshawk. It’s a silent snow goshawk from the Mystical Sword Sect’s Vermillion Bird Hall.”

“Even the Vermillion Bird Hall has arrived!”

The crowd exclaimed.

“I am Liu Qian from the Mystical Sword Sect’s Vermillion Bird Hall. I have come today representing the Vermillion Bird Hall to recruit Lu Yao as a disciple,” said a lady around the age of thirty, gracefully perched atop the silent snow goshawk.

Sstttt…
