"Let the annual meeting begin."
Li Wuhen glanced around the martial arts field with his eyes. There were four to five hundred people in the Li family, and there were about seventy young people between 12 and 18 years old. It was the heyday of youth. Unfortunately, some people in the family had ulterior motives. People's hearts are scattered and there is no cohesion at all. Maybe his father made the wrong choice when he left the position of head of the family to him. Li Wuhen felt a little bitter in his heart.
"Father, don't worry, I won't let the Li family decline in my hands." Li Wuhen felt guilty. He vaguely remembered his father's instructions before he died. Unfortunately, he could not fully focus on the Li family. .
The annual meeting is actually a test of the cultivation of the family's children to see how much progress they have made in this year. The younger generation represents the future of the family. The content of the annual meeting is fighting, testing strength in the battle.
The steward of the Li family walked up to the center of the fighting platform and said loudly: "In the first round of the annual meeting, everyone came to the fighting stage. The last thirty-two people who stayed on the fighting stage advanced to the next round."
After saying that, the housekeeper walked off the fighting stage, and the young disciples of the Li family appeared one after another.
Li Qingyun nodded to his father and walked onto the fighting stage.
"I wonder if Li Xiang'er and others will target me intentionally." Standing on the edge of the battle platform, Li Qingyun's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.
Soon, a total of seventy-three young disciples came to the huge battle stage and looked around with vigilant eyes, especially those who were weak. They were likely to be the first targets for others to attack.
As soon as Li Xiang'er stepped onto the fighting stage, the crowds wherever he went gave way and no one dared to provoke him. The purpose of the first round was to eliminate the weak ones. Few people who were strong would touch them unless they were seeking death themselves. And Li Xiang'er is undoubtedly one of the strongest people, and the crowd avoids her, let alone attacks her.
As for Li Qingyun, he soon saw many people staring at him. Each of these people's eyes flickered, staring at him as if they were looking at prey, and they all regarded him as a soft persimmon.
The battle on the battlefield had already broken out. A young man with a spear in one hand came to Li Qingyun. Everyone around him avoided him, obviously knowing that this man was not easy to mess with.
"Get out of here by yourself, I don't want to throw you waste out of the city again. Hahahaha." Li Zuohai looked at Li Qingyun mockingly. He was Li Zuohai, Li Haoran's eldest son.
Li Zuohai was already at the eighth level of Body Tempering six months ago, and now he is still at the eighth level of Body Tempering. He seems to have average talent. People on the high platform were whispering.
"He's mine." A cold voice came, and Li Xiang'er, wearing a phoenix-tail robe, walked over, looking arrogant.
"It's all the same." Li Zuohai naturally wouldn't compete with Li Xiang'er, so he got out of the way.
Li Xiang'er walked up to Li Qingyun and said, "Don't worry, no one will touch you this round. You will advance smoothly. It's not fun for you to be eliminated so early."
"Huh?" Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Xiang'er would guarantee his promotion. This was indeed a bit funny, but if he could advance without taking action, why not do it.
"What is Li Xiang'er doing? What is she doing with that waste?" The elder who was about to see Li Qingyun make a fool of himself saw that Li Xiang'er protected him instead, and couldn't help but ask Li Yu in a low voice.
"Don't you think it's fun to watch a loser advance to the second round? Moreover, in the second round, it's a turn-based battle. Everyone has to fight several times. What situation will this loser face then? "Li Yu thought she knew what Li Xiang'er meant, and smiled particularly sinisterly.
"Haha, why didn't I think of it? It was indeed a good show." Li Zhen, the great elder, said secretly after hearing the explanation. He seemed to have seen Li Qingyun being tortured again and again in the second round. By then, his sharp teeth would... Is there still a stage for performance?
Half an hour later, the first round of elimination battle ended, with thirty-two people left. Most of those eliminated were those with strength at the fifth and sixth levels. Of course, there were also some unlucky people with seventh-level cultivation at the Body Tempering Realm. Join forces to defeat and exit the battle. There were also some people who didn't even move during the entire first round of the battle, including Li Xiang'er, Li Xiang'er's eldest brother Li Hong, Li Zuohai, Li Yujie, and Li Qingyun.
"Haha, this guy is really lucky. Li Xiang'er actually guaranteed his promotion."
"What's the matter? Li Xiang'er did it to make him suffer even worse in the second round."
The crowd was talking a lot about Li Qingyun, obviously unhappy that he advanced without a fight.
The second round of fighting is divided into four groups, each group of eight people, taking turns to fight. Each person has to fight with the other seven people in the same group. The two people with the highest wins in the same group advance to the next round.
First, the grouping was conducted by drawing lots, and then the housekeeper announced that Li Xiang'er was placed in the first group.
"Li Qingyun, Li Yanbin, Li Tao, Li Yue, Li Ran, Li Yuan, Li Caizhu, Li Yujie, the fourth group."
The third elder on the high platform smiled when he heard the steward announce the list of the fourth group: "The strength of the fourth group is the weakest among the four groups. With Yujie's cultivation level, there should be no problem."
"Li Yujie can dominate in the fourth group." Li Yu said politely.
"Haha, what are you talking about? If you meet Li Xiang'er, Yujie will have to admit defeat." The third elder clearly took advantage of Li Yu's words and laughed loudly.
"I just don't know where Li Qingyun can rank in the fourth group?" The third elder's voice was not low, and he deliberately glanced at Li Wuhen as he spoke.
The huge battle platform is divided into four areas for four group battles, so that they can be carried out at the same time.
"The first group, Li Xiang'er vs. Li Han; the second group, Li Hong vs. Li Lei; the third group, Li Zuohai vs. Li Xiao; the fourth group, Li Qingyun vs. Li Yanbin."
People in the crowd couldn't help but their eyes lit up when they heard about the first battle. They were all focus battles. It seemed that this was deliberately arranged by the elders.
Needless to say, Li Xiang'er and Li Hong, Li Zuohai is also one of the best among the younger generation of the Li family, and Li Qingyun, although he is weak, is not as famous as the previous ones, so the first battle of the fourth group even Li Yujie was not arranged, but Li Qingyun was arranged.
Eight people walked into the four areas of the battle stage. The two battles that everyone paid the most attention to were those between Li Xiang'er and Li Qingyun. They wanted to see how strong Li Xiang'er was now, and also wanted to see what level the waste of the family, Li Qingyun, had reached. .
"I admit defeat." Li Han from the first group said simply, which made many people look disappointed. However, everyone could understand Li Han and who would want to provoke Li Xiang'er.
"In the first group, Li Xiang'er wins." the steward announced.
Without Li Xiang'er fighting, the crowd's eyes immediately fell on the fourth group's fighting area. Li Qingyun, versus Li Yanbin.
"I don't want to insult my sword, just give up." Li Yanbin has a seventh-level cultivation of the Body Tempering Realm, plus his sword martial spirit. He has few opponents in the seventh-level Body Tempering Realm. He looked at Li Qingyun with arrogance in his eyes. meaning.
"In the fourth group, Li Yanbin wins."
The steward announced the result directly.
"Huh?" Li Qingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, Li Yanbin wins? Did he admit defeat?
However, Li Yanbin seemed to take this for granted and walked off the stage calmly.
"Why are you still here?" The housekeeper asked when he saw that Li Qingyun was motionless.
"Do I admit defeat?" Li Qingyun asked.
The housekeeper frowned and secretly thought that this guy was really ignorant and asked him to lose directly so that he would not be embarrassed. Not only was he not grateful but he dared to question him.
"It doesn't matter whether you admit defeat or not, the result will be the same. Go down quickly and don't interfere with the annual meeting."
"Since I didn't admit defeat, what qualifications do you have to declare Li Yanbin the winner?" Li Qingyun continued to ask as if he didn't hear the butler's words. "Let me host the annual meeting."
"Haha, it seems that no one takes me as the head of the family seriously." Li Wuhen's calm voice sounded, and there was anger in the calm: "A steward, in front of everyone, blatantly violated the rules of the annual meeting. Who gave you the qualification to declare victory or defeat without a fight?"
"Master, you don't need to start this battle to know the outcome. I did this to save your face, Master. Why do you care?"
"Save my face. I think you want me to make a fool of myself. Now, you can go down. The annual meeting will be hosted by the Sixth Elder."
"I don't agree." Li Yu said.
"I don't agree either. What the housekeeper did is reasonable." The great elder agreed, and at the same time, Li Haoran, the third elder, and the seventh elder all stood up.
