  But for an outsider like Han Chen, it would only be a leap of three levels. It was really hard to understand. Could it be that their ancestors cared more for this' Young Master '?

  Pu Yuelin coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Yu'er, if you had gone down with us before, you would at least be at the sixth level of Qi Refining."

  Shen Yu's talent was definitely the best in the clan. She was not at all diligent in her training, and even a little lazy. But even so, to be able to be selected by the Mystical Peak as an inner disciple, this was enough to explain everything.

  However, there was no sign of regret on her face. She only replied with a soft 'yes'.

  Pu Yuelin was so angry that he almost scolded him, he took a deep breath in and turned his gaze towards a slightly fat old man, "Third elder, how has the situation of the clan been these few days?"

  The elder who was called Third Elder nodded his head and replied, "Clan leader, you have been in closed door cultivation for the past few days. Everything in the clan is fine. According to your instructions, the entire clan is sealed up. The Situ and Lei Families have never come looking for trouble. "

  "Hmph, the Lei and Situ Families, why would my Pu Jia fear them now?"

  "Patriarch, there's one more thing I need to report to you."

  "Speak."

  "There are only two days left before the Clan Assembly."

  Chapter 38 - Annual Meeting

  Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

  The entire Linxing City welcomed the annual most important ceremony, the annual Meet. Every household had their own lanterns and festoons. It was jubilant and bustling with noise and excitement.

  And what was even more anticipated was the great and small powers within the city fighting over the annual gathering. To the commoners, this was an extremely interesting contest. To the clans and forces in the city, this had a different meaning.

  As one of the three great forces, the Pu Jia had already fallen into the hands of the Situ Family and the Lei Family for a few years already. But this year, their condition was still not optimistic. Even then, every household within Linxing City had an undiminished enthusiasm.

  The biggest plaza in the city was already one month ago. He had built a martial arts arena that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the center, there was a square platform.

  There were neat rows of spectators, and the crowd had arrived early to wait. It was a black mass with a sea of people and a tumultuous atmosphere.

  "I wonder who won first place this year!"

  "If it's not the Lei Clan, then it's the Situ Clan. Lei Li and Situ Feng have both reached the sixth level of Qi Refining."

  "Looks like Pu Jia is third again this year."

  "Hehe, third? Not necessarily! I heard the news. It is said that both the Lei and Situ Families have spoken at the same time, making it so that Pu Jia cannot get third place this year. "

  The crowd clamored, the audience's discussions revealed their anticipation. There was another high platform to the east. Three chairs were placed on the counter. The distance between each chair was nearly twenty meters. Everyone understood that this walace where only the Patriarchs of the three great clans of the city could sit.

  As time passed, the audience stands gradually filled up. Many people from the Situ and Lei Families were also here. On the east side of the high platform, the Lei Clan's Lei Clan's patriarch and the Situ Clan's patriarch all sat down. Behind them were all the elders and higher-ups standing in the clan. The Situ Yan who had gone to Pu Jia to propose also stood behind Situ Kuang.

  Lei Bao turned to look at the empty chair on the left, then chuckled: "This Pu Yuelin is truly arrogant, coming so slowly?"

  Situ Kuang's thick eyebrows jumped up, a trace of contempt gushing out from his eyes, "How long can he last? "Hrmph."

  "Hehe, Situ, I heard that your family's Situ Feng had his marriage rescinded by the Pu Jia?"

  "So what if I am? Don't you want this to happen? If Pu Jia and I fall out, wouldn't your Lei Family be laughing? "

  Having his thoughts exposed by Situ Kuang, Lei ruthlessly rubbed his nose. The corner of his mouth curled up into a cold smile, "Situ, why don't our two families work together?"

  "Oh?" Situ Kuang was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood, "You mean …?"

  "That's right, after today's annual meeting. You and I will work together to eradicate the Pu Jia, what do you think? " Lei Bao did not have the slightest intention of avoiding the topic. Of course, the environment of the arena was extremely noisy. Other than the few Elders and higher-ups behind them, who could hear the conversation, no one else knew.

  "The Pu Jia's team is here."

  It was also at this moment that Pu Jia's team, which was the Hao Wu Tang group, arrived. Clan Chief Pu Yuelin, along with a few elders of Pu Yuehua also ascended the high platform to the east, and revealed a faint smile.

  "Haha, Lei Bao, Situ, you're all here? We're not late, are we? "Haha."

  Situ Kuang coldly snorted and ignored him. As for Lei Bao, he replied with great interest, "Not too late, not too late. Who doesn't know that you, Grand Elder, are busy with official matters? Hiding at home all day long, is he studying some kind of absolute art? Oh, by the way, how are the injuries of the disciples? I, Lei, was not strict with my discipline and accidentally let my son injure them. I am truly sorry. "

  These words sounded like an apology, but it was especially ear-piercing. A hint of mockery could be seen on Lei Chen's face.

  "Clan leader Lei, please pay attention to your words." Pu Yuehua coldly shouted.

  "Hehe, I am a coarse person who does not understand elegance. Please forgive me, haha."

  "No worries, hur hur." Pu Yuelin waved his hand, signalling to Pu Yuehua that there was no need to say anything else. He then flung his sleeves and sat down gracefully in his seat. The group of elders from the Pu Jia also stood behind him one after another.

  The Pu Jia's group sat down in their respective areas one after another. Han Chen and Shen Yu sat in the front row. The intimate relationship between the two was really like that of a couple.

  The residents of Linxing City had long heard that because of the love she had with her, the young miss of Pu Jia had reneged on the marriage with the young master of the Situ Family.

  As such, countless pairs of eyes in the audience uniformly swept towards Han Chen and Shen Yu's location. Foime, the entire arena was once again filled with discussion.

  "Is that Miss Shen Yu's lover?"

  "He looks pretty good, but compared to young master Situ Feng, he's just lacking a bit."

  "More than a little bit? "It is said that he is only at the 2nd level of the Qi Refining stage. What can he use to compete with young master Situ Feng, who is at the 6th level of the Qi Refining?"

  "Sigh, I really don't know what Miss Shen Yu is thinking. I don't think it's worth it even for Young Master Situ. "

  The voices, mixed with many voices criticizing Han Chen. They had all belittled him to such an extent that even Situ Feng had been praised to the heavens. Han Chen made his teeth itch with hatred, and subconsciously stared at Shen Yu.

  "See!" "I'll do you a favor, now that the whole city is in turmoil, I will soon become public enemy number one."

  "I didn't know things would turn out like this!" Shen Yu pouted her lips and opened her eyes wide as if it was none of her business, "Besides, my reputation is almost ruined now. "I still don't know if I'll be able to get married in the future!"

  The corner of Han Chen's eyes twitched, he sighed helplessly: "Alright, if you can't marry out, then come and find me!"

  "Really? Will you marry me? " Shen Yu's eyes lit up, and her cheeks flushed red.

  "Marry you? "If you can't get married, I'll help you find a wife, haha."

  "You, you hate it."

  The two of them started to joke around, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was just flirting. Some of the spectators supporting Situ Feng were secretly unhappy with
Han Chen.

  As time passed, the competition got closer and closer. A middle-aged man dressed aeferee slowly ascended the middle stage. Zhang Xuan waved his hands and the scene quieted down.

  "The annual Clan Assembly War has begun again. Where is your passion?"

  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The entire audience was celebrating. Those who were prepared to participate were all rubbing their fists and wiping their palms. Those who had come to watch the battle began to makuckus. He had come here for the sake of creating a lively scene.

  This wasn't the first time the referee had hosted a match like this. He first bowed slightly towards the three patriarchs on the eastern platform, then he cupped his fists and bowed to the other smaller sects and clans.

  After doing all this, he continued, "I believe everyone understands the rules of the competition. In order to be fair, anyone who won two matches in a row could choose to step down and rest. Other than that, there are no other rules. Who will start today's first battle? "

  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! The atmosphere on the stage instantly changed. Cheers rang out, and the cheers shook the sky!

  As soon as the referee's voice fell, two figures rushed up the arena from different directions. And Han Chen actually recognized one of them. He was the second young master of the Situ Family, Situ Yi, who had fought with Pu Jia before.

  "It's young master Situ. I knew he would be the first to go onstage."

  "That's how positive his character is."

  To put it nicely, this is called positive. To put it harshly, this was called impatience. Situ Yi's opponent waall and sturdy man. His sturdy muscles seemed to be filled with explosive strength.

  The referee quickly stepped down from the stage and retreated over ten meters away. Then, he loudly shouted, "First battle of the Annual Assembly, begin!"

  "Hehe, if you don't want to die, then scram!" Situ Yi was still as arrogant as before, his face full of contempt and disdain.

  The muscular man's eyes turned cold, then he raised his head and actually let out a wolf-like howl.

  "Innate divine ability, Wolf!"

  The audience gasped in surprise before the man's hind leg lashed out with a 'sou' sound. It pounced straight at Situ Yi.

  "Hmph, just a stupid dog!" What are you yelling for! " Situ Yi calmly circulated his Martial Energy and gathered it in the center of his palm. When it pounced over, it directly extended its two palms to meet the opponent.

  Bang! As the two intersected, a muffled sound rang out in the air. The two of them involuntarily retreated a few steps. However, the tall and sturdy man who was the first to launch an attack actually retreated a bit further back.

  The first battle had begun just like that. Situ Yi's strength was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either. His opponent's cultivation was inferior to his, but he had the gift of a wolf, so he wouldn't be eliminated the moment he attacked.

  "Hmph, that Situ Yi is really annoying." Shen Yu frowned, and shouted softly: "I really want to kick him down."

  Han Chen laughed, he turned and asked: "Then, are you prepared to participate in the competition?"

  "I don't want to go. I'm only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and I can't help the clan take first place."

  "Fifth level of the Qi Refining stage?" Han Chen could not help but be taken aback, and asked tentatively, "Aren't you at the fourth level of Qi Refinement?"

  "That's right! But I had a breakthrough last night! " Shen Yu's face was innocent and there warace of mischief between her beautiful eyebrows.

  Han Chen had been completely defeated by her, Shen Yu was truly a genius. Ever since they got to know each other, he hadn't seen her train seriously a few times. However, his strength kept increasing. Competing with someone else was truly infuriating.

  On the high platform to the east, the three clan leaders watched the battle on the stage indifferently. Lei Xiong suddenly turned his head and laughed, "Hehe, Clan Leader Pu, I wonder what rank your Pu Jia wishes to take this year?"

  "Oh? What? Why are you asking this? "

  "It's nothing. I'm just curious. I'm just asking. I'm just trying to find out more about you. Hur Hur."

  Lei smiled mischievously, but there waint of smugness in his tone. Situ Kuang couldn't help but to turn his head around. However, when Pu Yuelin lifted his eyelids, his eyes flashed witint of playfulness.

  "Hoh, so what if he's in last place?"

  Chapter 39 - The First Battle

  The first battle in the arena had already attracted the attention of a vast majority of people. The battle between Situ Yi and the burly man was much more exciting than he had expected.

  "Howl!" From time to time, the burly man would let out howls like that of a vicious wolf, and his movements and fighting style were somewhat similar to a wolf's.

  "Stupid dog, you're too noisy. Go back and howl!"

  Situ Yi's face flashed with a fierce light, and with a clench of his fist, a golden saber light appeared in his hand. This was his innate divine ability, Wild Blade!

  "Break for me!"

  Buzz! Buzz! The strong blade light fiercely hacked at the opponent's body. Bang! The burly man was only at the 3rd level of the Refinement Realm, so it was difficult for him to block this attack. Under the gazes of everyone present, he was directly chopped down from the stage by Situ Yi.

  Bang! The man heavily fell off the stage, and a deep wound appeared in front of him. No one was surprised by this result. Cheers erupted from the Situ Family area.

  "Hey, useless thing." Situ Yi disdainfully smiled, a haughty expression hanging on his face.

  The winner would enjoy the applause and cheers while the loser would quietly leave the stage!

  Swoosh! At this time, a slim and ordinary-looking young man stepped onto the arena stage, confronting Situ Yi. Young Master Situ, I, Jin He, would like to seek guidance from you. "

  The appearance of the Golden Crane caused the eyes of the audience to light up. From everyone's reaction, it could be seen that he had some fame in Star City.

  "It's the eldest young master of the Jin family." It's the eldest young master of the Jin family.

  "I heard that the Golden Crane has also broken through to the 4th level of the Qi Refining stage. Finally, there is someone who is on par with him."

  Situ Yi's face still had a look of disdain as he coldly laughed, "Ha, Golden Crane, you dare to challenge me? Do you believe that I won't cripple your pair of crane claws? "

  "Humph, then I ask for Young Master Situ's guidance." The golden crane's eyes narrowed. Then, with a leap, its body separated from the ground and glided toward Situ Yi. As he moved, the golden crane's hands turned into claws, and like a white crane, it swooped down towards its opponent.

  Situ Yi calmly stepped to the side and easily dodged the attack. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand, chopping down towards the opponent's wrist. Since the Golden Crane dared to challenge him, it must have some real ability. The white crane nimbly retracted his arm back into the back of his neck, and then immediately changed its trajectory, aiming for Situ Yi's chest.

  Hiss! Caught off guard, Situ Yi was grabbed in the chest. A part of his clothes had been torn off, but not his flesh.

  "Good, good job, Golden Crane."

  "This move is really beautiful, well fought."

  The Jin family team could not help but clap and cheer. Situ Yi coldly snorted and flicked his sleeves, continuing to launch an even more powerful attack.

  On the eastern platform, Situ Kuang, Lei Kuang, and Pu Yuelin didn't show much interest on their faces. This was just the beginning of the competition, and the participants from the Lei and Pu Jia have yet to come up.

  There was also Situ Kuang and Lei Huo, who seemed to be thinking about what Pu Yuelin had just said, "So what if they're in last place?" Even though the three of them had fought for more than ten years, the two of them still could not figure out the
meaning behind Pu Yuelin's words.

  In the seating area of Pu Jia, Han Chen chatted idly with Shen Yu as he watched the battle on the stage. Suddenly, his heart violently shook as a sharp killing intent was caught by him.

  Han Chen frowned, he raised his head and looked over. That was the area of the Situ Family. A handsome young man wearing elegant white clothes looked at him coldly.

  Situ Feng! Han Chen immediately thought. Even though he had never seen Situ Feng before, he was sure that it was him.

  The two of them passed through the crowd and looked at each other from afar. Han Chen could clearly feel the killing intent in the other party's eyes, and then, the corner of Situ Feng's mouth raised in a disdainful curve. He shook his head and looked away.

  Han Chen could not help but be infuriated, the other party had not hidden his killing intent in the slightest. Isn't this looking down on others too much? He thought to himself, "If he provokes me, I will definitely give him the heaviest of blows!"

  "Han Chen, quickly look, Jin He is going to win."

  Shen Yu reminded her softly. She was slightly taken aback before she returned her attention to the stage. A faint layer of golden light surrounded the surface of the Golden Crane's body. The brilliance converged into the outline of a crane.

  This was the Golden Crane's innate divine ability. After using this divine ability, his attack speed and strength had increased significantly. As for Situ Yi, he fell intassive state. The only thing he had left to defend himself was being completely suppressed.

  "Heh heh, let's see if he can still be so arrogant now." Shen Yu clenched his two small fists, looking happy and cute.

  However, Han Chen shook his head and said, "Jin He is about to lose."

  "What?" Are you sure? Situ Yi doesn't even have the strength to fight back. "

  "It's not that he was powerless to fight back. Rather, he was gathering his power in preparation to strike the golden crane with his strongest attack. "Look, although he's been suppressed and beaten up, his defense is extremely good, and his steps and tempo aren't out of control at all."
