As this rule was modified, more and more people began paying attention to the Liu Family.
The Liu Family now seems like itâs at the end of its rope!
The Martial Realm is just like this, where strength reigns supreme. Since the Liu Family doesnât have the strength to survive, destruction is inevitable!
The Liu Family naturally had its prosperous times, during which it naturally offended other families. Now that the Liu Family is declining, those families are kicking it while itâs down.
"Heh heh, isnât this the Liu familyâs genius? Oh right, I heard the other day that thereâs a guy who closed himself off in a life-and-death seclusion. Who exactly is it?"
"Isnât it that guy? Always so cold, like an idiot, wonder how he just came out of seclusion!"
"Haha, I heard he was so afraid of the competition that he was hiding and sleeping all day!"
"Hmph, the existence of the Liu Family is just a waste of Kunwu Sectâs cultivation resources!"
Many people pointed fingers at the Liu Family without any reservations.
The Family Head of the Liu Family turned pale upon hearing these words; the situation of the Liu Family was plummeting, something even the Family Head did not foresee!
Or is it that the Kunwu Sect intends to deal with the Liu Family? If so, why?
Could it be? The Family Headâs heart suddenly sank, recalling the matter of the Tower of Trials!
Upon hearing these sarcastic remarks, Liu Cheng immediately sneered.
"See, this is all your fault, the Liu Family has lost face because of you!" he sneered at Ye Luo.
But Ye Luo didnât take it seriously at all.
"Hmph, once I pound the candidates from those other families, letâs see what these guys have to say about the Liu Family then!"
Liu Cheng sneered and shook his head, "Youâre really too overconfident!"
While they were bickering, the big competition had already started. The first stage was, naturally, the internal selection of the family. Five small arenas and one large arena were prepared on site, and these five small arenas were naturally for the first stage.
At this moment, the geniuses of the five families slowly stepped onto the small arenas.
In fact, the small arenas were not as small as they appeared; they were quite extraordinary inside!
Indeed, the space inside was much larger than it appeared, constructed by Kunwu Sect using formation to create an independent space.
Surrounding these small arenas were many spectators as well, and the Wan Familyâs small arena had naturally gathered the most people. The Wan Family had produced two consecutive Sect Masters, and this time they were brimming with masters, making them the hot favorites to take the top spot.
In reality, the cultivation resources the Wan Family received were the richest among the families, making it hard not to produce masters.
Compared to the other small arenas, the Liu Familyâs small arena was rather pitiful and could be described as deserted.
The other small arenas were surrounded by hundreds or thousands of people, while the Liu Familyâs side only numbered a few dozen, most of whom were from the Liu Family itself!
The rest were just minor forces disdained by the other families.
"This is disgraceful, these people are too much!" Liu Cheng clenched his fists and roared, "If it werenât for you, you damn guy, the Liu Family wouldnât be like this!"
Ye Luo couldnât be bothered to argue with him, stepping directly onto the small arena.
Watching Ye Luoâs back, a vicious gleam appeared in Liu Chengâs eyes, "No matter who you are, youâre staying on this small arena for me!"
Previously, he was afflicted with a Soul-Devouring Talisman, so he couldnât reveal the secrets he knew!
However, now the effect of the Soul-Devouring Talisman was about to wear off, and he had his own trump card, determined to keep Ye Luo on that small arena!
This small arena had another characteristic: outsiders couldnât interfere with the battles within!
Even if something unexpected happened inside, outsiders could only watch!
Thus, in past competitions, there were many instances of geniuses falling!
However, just as the Liu Family Head previously said, becoming a Sect Master requires more than just strength; intelligence is even more critical! Therefore, those who die in there simply werenât qualified to compete for the Sect Master position.
Subsequently, Liu Cheng also stepped in!
And Liu Mei and two others followed closely behind.
Ye Luo stood firm and began to survey the surroundings.
The stone-studded ground extended in all directions, he found himself in a small space constructed by formations, without any unique Space Laws, entirely the same as the outside.
However, the defensive capability of this space was strong, even a Ninth Level Earth Martial Realm cultivator could battle here without any issues.
Then, several figures appeared, naturally Liu Cheng them.
After entering, Liu Mei immediately approached Ye Luo.
After all, this competition was a melee, meaning you could find companions!
Given Liu Mei and Ye Luoâs ambiguous relationship, they naturally had to stand in unity.
Liu Cheng, standing to the side, didnât mind, "So, who among you wants to join me?"
Elsewhere, Liu Shang stood with a young girl who was called Liu Xianâer, only brought here to make up numbers. Her realm was only at the peak of the Sixth Rank! She had no chance in the candidate struggle!
"I forfeit the qualifications for the struggle, once the timeâs up, Iâll automatically be teleported out!" Liu Xianâer quickly said.
She knew her limitations well, she couldnât last even a single round against these geniuses.
This decision of hers was within the expectations of the group.
"And you?" Liu Cheng looked at Liu Shang!
Although Liu Shang had reached the Seventh Rank, heâd just recently broken through, not a match for Ye Luo or Liu Cheng, even weaker than Liu Mei.
"Iâll also forfeit the qualifications!"
Liu Cheng nodded slightly, "Very well, now itâs just the three of us left!"
Ye Luo was somewhat surprised by his attitude; with Liu Chengâs strength, Ye Luo could easily overthrow him, but seeing Ye Luo and Liu Mei join forces, he was not flustered at all!
There was definitely something fishy here!
"Hmph, Liu Cheng, youâd better forfeit your qualifications too. We wonât make things difficult for you, otherwise, you know the consequences!" Liu Mei coldly stated.
"Consequences? Haha!" Liu Cheng laughed loudly! "Do you really think that Iâm so easy to bully? Do you think youâre the only ones with fortuitous encounters? Today, Iâll kill this guy, and as for you, Iâll have some fun before disposing of you. Itâd be a pity to kill such a beauty directly!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Meiâs face turned icy cold.
"Courting death!" she exclaimed, thrusting her sword forward.
This sword thrust was incomparably sharp, and before the sword even reached him, the Sword Qi had already enveloped Liu Cheng.
Liu Mei indeed deserved the title of an extraordinary genius; this move was indeed remarkable.
