Chapter 331 - 331 The Much

331 The Much-anticipated Xiao Wuyou

Today was the day of Jade City’s selection. The rules were simple. The four clans would send people to compete, and the final winner would be the leader of the four clans. The other clans would have to listen to the leader clan’s orders.

Although Jade City was jointly governed by the four great clans, the leader would have greater authority and would receive more resources. It would benefit the clan, and the gap with other clans would be widened.

Zhao Ru’s expression wasn’t too good. He had been confident, but without the help of Zhao Qing and Zhao Pei, it meant that there would be changes.

Fortunately, the Xiao clan Xiao Mingyan’s cultivation had fallen greatly, and he was now like a cripple. He probably couldn’t participate this time, so they would have a higher chance of winning. Even the other major clans thought so.

“Brother Zhao, you’re energetic. It seems like your cultivation has improved quite a bit. The champion may be your Zhao clan this time.”

“I just happened to break through by luck. I’m more optimistic about Brother Xiao.”

Everyone exchanged pleasantries. The four great clans appeared to be harmonious on the surface, but only they knew their true thoughts.

“I’ve heard that the Xiao clan’s young master has gone berserk. That’s a pity! I thought that I can see his valiant and heroic figure this time. Brother Xiao, my condolences.”

Xiao Hong looked heartbroken as if this incident had dealt a huge blow to him.”Thank you for your concern. I can only lament that Mingyan’s fate is so bad because heaven is jealous of his talents.”

Those who knew the true inside story of the Xiao clan were all curious as to why the clan would abandon a genius like Xiao Mingyan, and what kind of secret was behind it.

“I originally thought that Mingyan could shine in this martial arts tournament. Now, it seems like he won’t have the chance. I wonder who will win this year’s election.”

Xiao Hong sighed with emotion. Suddenly, he changed the topic. “It seems that Brother Zhao will be the winner this year.”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Xiao Hong was up to. Zhao Ru looked at him suspiciously, then put on a fake smile and said, “Brother Xiao is too modest. Although there is no Xiao Mingyan, there might be other outstanding disciples.”

Xiao Wuyou and Zhao Huaifeng were currently fighting below the stage.

Xiao Wuyou had always kept a low profile and had a weak body. The outside world only knew of the Xiao clan’s eldest young master, but not the second young master. This was also why Xiao Wuyou hated Xiao Mingyan. He was certain that Xiao Mingyan had stolen everything from him.

This was Xiao Wuyou’s first time appearing in the public eye.

Zhao Huaifeng didn’t take Xiao Wuyou seriously. He didn’t forget to belittle Xiao Mingyan. “If Xiao Mingyan were here, I might be a little afraid of him. Unfortunately, he’s no different from a cripple now.”

Xiao Wuyou’s smile was very gentle, but his gazes were extremely deep.

Xiao Hong, Zhao Ru, and the other two clan leaders were sitting in the stands. Zhao Ru was quite confident in Zhao Huaifeng. He might not be able to deal with Xiao Mingyan, but he should be able to deal with Xiao Wuyou.

Before this, Zhao Huaifeng had even taken a top-grade pill to break through several levels. If it wasn’t for the lack of Zhao Qing and Zhao Pei, Zhao Ru wouldn’t have been willing to take out such a top-grade pill.

“The second young master doesn’t seem to be in Jade City often. How can the Xiao clan leader be at ease letting him participate in the competition? It’s a martial arts competition where we have to use swords and spears. What if he’s injured by accident?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon’s roar came from the arena, and even the stage shook.

“What’s going on? Could it be an earthquake?”

“Such a huge commotion! Those who don’t know might think that it’s a battle between sky-rank peak masters.”

“Could it be that another dark horse has appeared? Which clan is he from?”

Everyone looked at the stage.

The indestructible stage was full of cracks. It was obvious that a fierce battle had just taken place here. The stage was made of the best diamond, which could be said to be indestructible.

There wasn’t even a small crack on it, let alone like a spider web now. Zhao Huaifeng was sent flying dozens of meters away. His face was pale as he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Xiao Wuyou looked down from above. “That was a good game.”

Zhao Huaifeng was slapped in his face.

Xiao Wuyou’s entire body was shimmering with golden light as if an immortal had descended into the world. Most importantly, the illusory image of a golden dragon loomed behind him. It was filled with surging divine power, almost to the point of materializing.

The dragon’s roar that had resounded through the clouds just now was the result of the golden dragon’s protection. The dragon’s tail wrapped around Xiao Wuyou’s body, and specks of golden light entered his spine. It was as if even his hair had been stained with the golden light.

At this moment, Xiao Wuyou was the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone in Jade City was looking at him.

The people from the other clans were in disbelief. They were naturally very familiar with this golden dragon because Xiao Mingyan was also like this in the past. He was surrounded by a golden dragon and was above everyone else.

“This, this is…”

“The supreme dragon bone! Why does Xiao Wuyou have the same root bone?”

Very quickly, some people realized what was going on. Those who were not in the know thought that Xiao Mingyan had become a cripple because he had gone berserk, but they did not expect Xiao Wuyou to rise.

“The Xiao clan is really lucky to have two outstanding talents. The eldest young master was born with a supreme dragon bone, and the same goes for the second young master.”

“That’s right. Even heaven is on their side. Xiao Wuyou appeared after Xiao Mingyan. It looks like the Xiao clan will be the champion again this year.”

“The aura of the supreme dragon bone seems familiar…”

The crowd below the tournament stage was in a heated discussion.

Only Xiao Hong and Liu Ruxue knew that the Xiao clan had stolen Xiao Mingyan’s supreme dragon bone and replaced it with Xiao Wuyou’s. Most people didn’t know the details.
