At daybreak, a ray of sunlight broke the darkness as it s.h.i.+ned down onto the earth. Yunwu City was like a pot of boiling water, slowly getting roused.
To the west of Yunwu City was a large sized arena for official fights. Normally it was used for martial arts tournaments, but today, it is exclusively for the Genius Contest.
Able to house thousands of spectators, the arena was already crawling with people.
”Chief Escort w.a.n.g, what brings you here today? I heard that the Shunfeng Security Escort just took a huge escort task.”
”I will squeeze time out even if I don't have any. My son is partic.i.p.ating today.”
”Merchant Zhao, your son couldn't be joining this genius fight right?”
”My son isn't old enough yet, but my G.o.d son is joining today. Isn't your son already 16, you also don't have a G.o.d son, what are you here for?”
”I'm just here to see the s.h.i.+ft of power.”
All the influential people in Yunwu City were here for the bi-annual genius contest. It was a huge event, and at the same time a good chance to mutually scout one another.
With the result of the contest, if one of the clans has more exceptional disciples, they would try to gain better ties with them. On the contrary, for the past decade, everyone was withdrawing from the Li Clan due to their lack of candidates for the Cang Lan Sect. This year would be their last chance to prove that they are worth the t.i.tle of a major clan.
”Look! The Yangs are here. Established for nearly a century, they have the longest history among the 4 major clans. Will they create another legend today?”
As the crowd was looking, the Yang Clan streamed in from one of the entrances.
With the largest group among the other major clans, they had a total of 9 contestants partic.i.p.ating today.
”I must become a Cang Lan Sect disciple.”
Yang Qi clenched his fist tightly, he emitted a killing intent that showed that he was ready to kill even a G.o.d if a G.o.d obstructed him.
”The Guan Clan is here as well, these years the Guans are as glamorous as they can get. I estimate within a few years, the Guans will surpa.s.s the Yangs, even the Shen Tu clan may not be safe either.
In the eyes of everyone, the Guan Clan's rise was too exaggerated. An unknown minor clan 20 years ago; and now 20 years later, they have overtaken the Li Clan and were chasing right after the Yang Clan and Shen Tu Clan.
In the views of some, they had already surpa.s.sed the Yang Clan, the reason is because of the advance recruitment of Guan Xue.
Taking the lead, Guan Yue stride in with his head held high, with a smile that reeked of arrogance.
Coincidentally, at the opposite entrance, the Li Clan entered at the same time.
With Li Tianhan at the front; with no hint of hesitation, he looked straight into Guan Yue's eyes.
There wasn't any sense of guilt within the eyes of Guan Yue, instead they were high-spirited and vigorous. In this cruel world, who was right and who was wrong isn't crucial. What's of importance is one's choice of action, and Guan Yue believed he chose the right path. Seeing the declining Li clan was proof that nothing could stop his up and rising Guan Clan.
With a blurred vision, Li Tianhan subtly s.h.i.+fted his line of sight.
”The Li Clan is here, pff pff, only 4 partic.i.p.ants. It seems the fall of the Li Clan is destined. I wonder if the Li Clan will have anyone succeed?”
”Don't even go there. I heard within the Yunwu City region, there have been plenty of geniuses appearing. Take for instance, the north's He Ping, south's Si Fei, east's Hong Xiu, and west's Sun Di. Taking into the account the geniuses from the rest of the major clans. It would be easier for pigs to fly than the Li Clan getting one of the top 5 spots.”
”If the Li Clan can't make it this time around, they have no hope in making a comeback.”
Discussion were going on, one after the next in the stands.
Following closely behind Li Tianhan was Li Fuchen. Sweeping his sight over the crowd, he memorized all the expressions of these people.
”The Li Clan is in a really bad position!”
