Chapter 193: Chapter 7: Great Opportunity! The Legacy of the Wang Family’s Old Ancestor_3

With his brother-in-law’s loss, Wang Shouzhe’s expression became serious.

The fighting power of this demon puppet was even more formidable than he had imagined.

Indeed, just as Master Longyan had said, it was approximately as strong as some of the peak Vital Energy Refining Realm seed cultivators.

Even the ancestors were looking at each other in dismay. This trial was more challenging than they had expected.

Only Wang Luoqiu’s eyes sparkled as if she had met her favorite opponent, making her blood boil with excitement.

“Fang Jie,” Old Master Ruhong said, “Even if you’ve reached the peak of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, you must still perfect your Profound Martial Fighting Technique before you can have a chance to win.”

“Yes, Old Ancestor,” Chen Fangjie said with a pained smile, deciding to improve his Profound Martial Fighting Technique once he returned home.

Next up was Wang Shounuo. At 28 years old, he had worked hard for the family over the years and reaped numerous rewards. His diligent cultivation had got him to Level Eight in the Vital Energy Refining Realm.

Still, he went up just to try the waters, unable even to withstand the puppet’s fourth strike.

Then came Wang Luotong, Wang Shoulian, Wang Shou Yong, Gongsun Yan, and Lu Xiaoxiao, who all went up to get a feel for the fight.

Only Lu Xiaoxiao seemed somewhat promising, using a tiny Five Elements Array Plate to hold off the demon puppet for 20-30 moves. After all, Xiaoxiao was just 19 years old and had awakened the Lihuo Bloodline once, only recently reaching Level Seven in the Vital Energy refining realm. Considering these, her performance was quite decent.

Although his elder sister Wang Luoyi had also enjoyed many resources from the Chen Clan and reached Level Seven in the Vital Energy Refining Realm, she was just a cultivator with no real power. Wang Shouzhe simply didn’t let her compete, suggesting they buy a Heavenly Spirit Pill instead, given how well off the Chen Clan was at the moment.

After her came Liu Ruolei. Having awakened the Yuan Water Bloodline once, she possessed similar potential to the famed Old Ancestor Xuan Fu. By now, she was 22 years old and no longer the girl she once was.

After four years learning in the Purple Abode Academic Palace, she trained to the Middle Segment of Level Eight in the Vital Energy Refining Realm. Clearly, she had been groomed with care by Old Master Xuan Fu.

Upon entering the ring, her bout with the demon puppet was quite evenly matched, to everyone’s surprise.

Unfortunately, an hour later, she was caught off guard by a surprise attack from the puppet and was defeated, much to Master Xuan Fu’s disappointment. She was sternly admonished for her lack of real fight experience, despite being capable of winning.

Liu Ruolei felt wronged, yet Liu Ruolan comforted her in a soft voice, “It’s all right. It’s normal for a girl to lose. You can always try again next time.”

Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Xuan Fu’s eyelid twitched again. What exactly had this boy fed her to raise her like this? Was there any hope for her?

Wang Shouzhe was speechless. Why was he being blamed while keeping silent?

“Humph.” Luo Qiu stepped forward, “This is quite interesting. You’re worthy of being a stepping stone on my path to becoming an emperor.”

The nineteen-year-old was brimming with vitality, her initial aspiration of becoming an emperor undiminished.

As soon as Luo Qiu appeared, Wang Shouzhe immediately became serious.

It was normal for the others to lose, but he had high expectations for Luo Qiu. Her combat power was now at a level where even Wang Shouzhe couldn’t measure it.

“Luo Qiu, add oil!” Even Liu Ruolan was smiling as she cheered for her.

“Don’t worry, Fourth sister-in-law. It’s just a cannon fodder role.” Wang Luo Qiu, dressed in a goose-yellow female Profound Martial uniform, slowly stepped on the trial field, “I, Wang Lu Qiu, request to begin the second round immediately.”
