Chapter 326: Flood-Dragon (1/2)

The four families' candidates started fighting and after every match the candidates has to go back to recover, at least the candidates who won every battle went back to recover as soon as possible, because, they are all aiming for the Future-heir position.

Sanjay was appointed as the future-heir when he was just a Novice. Since then, they have been competing, but they weren't able to go anywhere near winning.

The place was just so close yet so far out of reach. Sanjay is like a huge abyss they have to cross, if they want to fulfil their desire, but they are just not capable enough to do so.

But no one gave up. They tried to compete for any chance they got. Of course, there are only so many occasions where they can compete for that and the family meeting is one of them.

So, every grand realm cultivator in core disciples who are of same age as Sanjay are trying their best to recover.

As for Sanjay himself, he is looking into the crowd in search of Sam. He wanted to find any possible signs of him. He is completely nonchalant about the competition for his position. He didn't put any of these elite core disciples in his eyes.

His lack of interest only fuelled the flames of determination in the core disciples.

By afternoon, the four- family competition has come to an end.

The final phase of the family meeting, the competition for the future heir has begun. All the injured candidates who are injured earlier are now in top shape again. They consumed pills and potions, which are highly valuable and potent. Generally, they are saved for most life-threatening situations, but now, they didn't hold back and consumed them.

Sanjay also came onto the centre of the battle ground along with nine other candidates.

The Faction-head stood up and announced.

”Now, it is time for the final-phase of the family meeting is about to begin, the competition for the position of the future heir.

The Battle Royale. The last man standing out all ten will be the future heir of the beast faction.”

The competition for the Future-heir position is pretty simple and straight forward. All of them have to battle and the winner will take the position.

All the candidates took a deep breath, they were just waiting for this moment for very long. They couldn't wait to jump into the battle.

But they were surprised by the Faction-head's next words.

”The title and rewards for the winner will be given by the Ancestor himself. So, try your best.”

All the audience was stunned. They didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

The Ancestor of the Beast faction is the grand father of the current Faction-head. He is the former faction head and is one of the best in their generation. He went into seclusion after the current faction-head took the position.

He is a legendary existence in the whole sect and every chance to meet the ancestor is taken as a blessing as his teachings are considered invaluable.

There are many people who wanted to be his disciple and considered that chance to be more valuable than the position of the future-heir. Because, the position of the future heir doesn't give any guarantee of taking the position of the next head.

Because, it can be challenged and competed for. But they believed that once they became the disciple of the ancestor, they would definitely be able to surpass the future-heir and take over that position in one way or another. And that position would be only be one of the benefits.

As the candidates are running various scenarios and speculations on what it would the reward be, the fight has already started.

The one who made the first move is Sanjay himself.

*Whish*

The chain sickle, cut through the air as the blade revolved all over the field tried to hit the nearest candidate to him.

But the candidates became vigilant as soon as they heard the whistling sound of the wind.

The attack was defended and everyone looked at Sanjay vigilantly. Sanjay is still wearing his usual with his face covered in the Black cloth with only his eyes being visible.

All of them exchanged glances and made Sanjay their common target with a tacit understanding.

They all knew he is the strongest of them all and there is a little chance fighting against him and winning one-on-one. So, they decided to eliminate him first by ganging up on him.

Sanjay didn't seem surprised about this he is wielding the chain sickle as he kept all the ten candidates at bay. He might be the one who is surrounded, but he was the one who is controlling them with the single weapon as he set the perimeter. But he is not standing in a single position. He is continuously dodging against all the ranged attacks.
