Two days passed in a flash.
As a leisurely bell rang through Qifeng City, the Ye family located in the southeast corner became lively.
The Ye family competition has officially begun!
The Ye family is not considered a top-notch family in Qifeng City, but can only be called a middle-class family.
However, it has been in business for many years, and it can be considered a considerable force, so many family patriarchs and elders who have friendships came to watch.
When Liangchen and Uncle Ye came to the family square together, the square was already bustling with people. The spectator seats were full of people, and even the sides of the square were full of people.
Fortunately, he and Uncle Ye now belong to the family chamber of commerce, and in order to show respect for their contributions, a special viewing seat has been set up.
After all, the family is like a queen ant, and they are the little ants who are busy outside all day long, and then keep delivering nutrients to the family.
Liangchen followed Mr. Ye to a seat and sat down. He saw Uncle Ye constantly saying hello to the people around him:
"How is business lately?"
"10% more than in previous years." A middle-aged man with a square face answered.
"Then the family should be rewarded this time!" Uncle Ye said with a smile.
"Whether you want to reward or not, it's not your job. Let me tell you, Lao Ye, why don't you come back and take care of yourself?" the middle-aged man also asked with a smile.
"Come on, my old arms and legs are too tired. Liangchen, come see your cousin." Uncle Ye greeted Liangchen.
"I've met my cousin." Liangchen saluted.
"You're welcome. What is this?" The middle-aged man helped his arm and turned to ask Mr. Ye.
"Ye Liangchen, the child of Yejiayuan! Do you remember?" Uncle Ye said with a smile.
"Oh——! Is it Ye Liangchen, who built a foundation at the age of fourteen and is known as the family's number one genius?" The middle-aged man said, patting his head as if he remembered something.
"Don't bring up the past. He's helping me now. When I'm tired in a few years, I'll leave the whole stall to him." Mr. Ye patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and said.
"Congratulations, Lao Ye, for finding such a good successor." The man said with understanding.
"I will need you to take more care of this nephew from now on." Mr. Ye greeted.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
They were talking here, and suddenly a deep voice spread throughout the large square, immediately suppressing all the noise.
Liangchen looked around and saw that it was the elder of the family who was speaking.
"Let the patriarch say a few words." After the great elder finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to the patriarch with his hand.
Everyone's eyes followed the great elder's hand and all looked at the clan leader.
Ye Xianzu stood up slowly in the eyes of everyone, first cupped his hands towards the guest on his left and said:
"Today is the day of the Ye family's big competition. Thank you all my friends for coming to watch the game. The Ye family can have today's grand event. I want to thank all my friends for supporting me. Xian Zu is extremely grateful!"
I saw dozens of guests on the seats over there also returning the favor.
"In addition, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone in the clan, after thousands of years of accumulation, the Ye family is what it is today." He arched his hands and made a half circle around the square.
Liangchen watched Uncle Ye and others raise their hands, and also learned to return the favor.
"This year's competition will be hosted by the second elder. The rules are the same as in previous years. I won't say much else. I declare that the competition has officially begun!" Ye Xianzu shouted loudly, and then looked at the second elder sitting on the left.
...
"This year the rules are still the same. The order is determined by drawing lots. For each group of twenty people, the one who draws the first lottery will play against the eleventh, the second and the twelfth, the third and the thirteenth, and so on.
Four arenas were temporarily set up in the square. The first group went to Qinglong Terrace, the second group went to White Tiger Terrace, the third group went to Zhuque Terrace, and the fourth group went to Xuanwu Terrace. "
The second elder stood up slowly, took out a bamboo tube with ease, and began to ask the young people in the center of the square to draw lots.
After a while, everyone who was willing to participate got their numbers.
There are probably more than 100 young people of this generation in the Ye family, and there are probably less than 80 people participating this year.
Some people feel that there is no hope and do not want to humiliate themselves on stage, so most of those who are too low-level give up the competition.
"There are a total of seventy-six people receiving the signatures, and the competition officially begins!
In the first game, No. 1 and No. 11 went to Qinglong Terrace. On the 21st and 31st, go to the White Tiger Terrace, on the 41st and 51st, go to the Suzaku Terrace, and on the 61st and 71st, go to the Xuanwu Terrace. "The second elder shouted.
I saw eight people walking out of the crowd and entering four arenas respectively.
As soon as the game started, the people in the stands looked excited and stared at the people on the stage with expectant eyes.
After all, the people on this stage are all members of my own family, and even if they are collateral relatives, they are more or less related.
This kind of martial arts competition is really wonderful. If two strangers are fighting on the stage, it doesn't matter to you.
If you have an acquaintance and add a touch of emotion to it, you will immediately become a lot more passionate. Sometimes I really wish you could go up and help!
Just like Liangchen was also looking for Ye Kai in the crowd, hoping that he would get a good ranking.
He sat in his seat and kept searching, and found that he didn't recognize the eight people in the first scene.
"The man in black on the Suzaku stage is Ye Yuan, the great elder's close disciple. He is the favorite to win the first place this time." Someone next to him pointed at the people on the stage and said.
Liangchen looked down in the direction the man pointed, and saw a young man in black robes on the ring. He had a thin face and a high nose, giving him a feeling of arrogance.
The opponent is a short, fat man with a round face.
The fat man raised his hands and said:
"I'm Ye Chaofei, please show mercy."
"If you want me to show mercy, it's best to go down now!" Ye Yuan said coldly.
"No matter what happens, you have to give it a try, otherwise your father will break your legs if you go down." Ye Chaofei said slowly.
"It's better to have your legs broken by my father than to have my legs broken by me," Ye Yuan said.
"Then let me learn from senior brother's unique skills!" Ye Chaofei seemed to be aroused and said with his hands raised.
As soon as Ye Chaofei finished speaking, he squeezed the magic weapon and pulled out a small silver shield. As soon as the shield was pulled out, it quickly rotated around his body.
"Earth Sword!"
Ye Chaofei knew that his opponent was a close disciple of the great elder, and that he was in the middle stage of foundation building.
Although I have advanced to a higher level in the early stage of foundation building, I am still a step behind, so it is my strongest attack right from the beginning.
"Well done! Ice blast!"
Not only did Ye Yuan not defend himself, he jumped up and slashed at him with his sword.
The two swords intersected, and there was a loud "Dang!" sound, and a shock wave spread to the surroundings, hitting the restrictions set around without leaving a trace.
Ye Yuan slashed down with his sword, and then jumped back to the original place with the force of the rebound, while Ye Chaofei took three steps back.
With just one move, the difference between high and low can be determined!
"You also take a blow from my sword. Ice Shark Wave!"
Ye Yuan held the sword with both hands, raised it above his head, slashed it diagonally, and threw out a clear sword light.
Ye Chaofei only felt that the temperature around him dropped sharply, and a sword light like water streaks came in an instant, and he had no time to raise his sword to block it.
"Ding dong!" After a rapid sound, Ye Chaofei felt a sudden chill all over his body and fell to the ring!
Fortunately, Ye Chaofei used the Suspended Heart Shield as soon as he came up, otherwise he would have been injured this time.
While the fight in the other three arenas was in full swing, Ye Yuan only used two moves to knock his opponent off the arena, causing everyone in the stands to scream.
"Suzaku Terrace, Ye Yuan wins!" the second elder announced loudly.
Liangchen couldn't help but feel secretly moved when he saw that move of Ice Shark Wave.
If he faced this sword, he would have no choice but to run away, otherwise his end would definitely be much worse than that of Ye Chaofei.
Seeing how powerful Ye Yuan was, he began to worry about Ye Kai.
