"The head of the family, his strength is definitely not an issue; at the very least, he can make it into the top three, ensuring that the Zhao Family does not end up at the bottom. As for his character and background, I can't be sure," Zhao Yu said.
"Regardless, our Zhao Family absolutely cannot be last this time. What about the Elemental Stone Vein?" Zhao Yuanlong asked, shifting the topic.
"The Elemental Stone Vein is already under our Zhao Family's control, and the Song Family has suffered losses as well. They lost Song Gaodan, a master of Yang Po Er Chong, along with two first-level Yang Spirit Realm experts and a Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm expert. This time, they have suffered significant losses; I estimate that the Song Family will not let this go easily," Zhao Yu replied.
"Hmph, the strength of the Song Family is on par with our Zhao Family. Moreover, they have lost three powerful experts this time. Even if they don't give up, what can they do?" Zhao Yuanlong said without a hint of worry on his face.
"Alright, you go and organize the information regarding this competition and talents from other forces, and send it to Xing Chen. Also, hold a family banquet to celebrate our Zhao Family's acquisition of the Elemental Stone Vein; it will also serve as a welcome for Xing Chen," Zhao Yuanlong said after pondering for a moment.
"Yes, head of the family," Zhao Yu nodded and then left.
At this moment, Xing Chen was in a room within the Zhao Family, sitting cross-legged in meditation. Although Zhao Yuanlong's punch had not caused him any substantial harm, it had caused his internal organs to slightly tremble, requiring him to take a moment to adjust.
"According to those from the sea region, my current strength can at most contend with experts at Yang Po San Chong. It seems I must quickly enhance my power; only by reaching Yang Spirit Realm will I have some self-protection here on Nebula Island."
After a while, Xing Chen opened his tightly shut eyes and murmured to himself.
Nebula Island is insignificant in the entire sea region but is a dangerous place for Xing Chen at present. With his current strength, he is considered strong here.
However, he is not the strongest; there are still beings here that could kill him. Unlike in the Eastern Region, he has no backing here; everything relies solely on himself. Therefore, he must quickly improve his strength.
"Is Brother Xing Chen inside? Still cultivating?" At that moment, Zhao Yu's voice came from outside.
"What is it?" Xing Chen stood up and walked outside.
"Brother Xing Chen, this is the information about the talents from the major competition and all the forces involved. The family head specifically asked me to deliver it to you." Seeing Xing Chen come out, Zhao Yu smiled and spoke.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly. I thought I would have to wait a day or two." Xing Chen took the information from Zhao Yu's hand and began to look through it.
"Hehe, we've already gathered this information in the Zhao Family, so there was no need to investigate each one individually." Zhao Yu still wore a smile and continued, "Also, the family head has decided to hold a family banquet tomorrow to welcome you."
"Great, I'll be there tomorrow." Xing Chen nodded.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now and not disturb you any longer." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he turned to leave, while Xing Chen returned to his room with the information.
"These people are indeed not simple." Xing Chen flipped through the information in his hands, which recorded twenty talents who had reached the Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm.
These twenty talents at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm were all capable of contending with strong opponents at Yang Po First Level.
"It seems that defeating those top talents will be quite challenging!" Xing Chen's expression became slightly serious. Among them, the top talents included Ling Kaifeng from Nebula Gate, Fireman from Fire Sect, and Song Xingwen from Song Family.
These three top talents could contend with peak experts at the second level of Yang Spirit Realm. Moreover, they surely had some unknown trump cards; defeating them would undoubtedly require a tough battle.
After reviewing the information, Xing Chen sat down cross-legged to cultivate again. The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Zhao Yu came to call for Xing Chen. The Zhao Family was holding a banquet to celebrate acquiring an Elemental Stone Vein, and naturally, Xing Chen would not be left out.
"Brother Xing Chen, if any of the Zhao Family's younger generation offend you later, please bear with them and don't take it to heart!" Zhao Yu said as he looked at Xing Chen beside him.
Because this time Xing Chen is representing the Zhao Family as an external aid, one of the Zhao Family Disciples will naturally be eliminated. The person whose position was taken by Xing Chen will surely harbor resentment towards him, and what actions they might take later is anyone's guess.
"As long as they don't go too far, I won't hold it against them," Xing Chen said calmly. Soon, the two arrived at the main hall of the Zhao Family, where hundreds of Zhao Family disciples had already gathered. The head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Yuanlong, was naturally seated in the highest position.
Not far from him were five elders, who were the other Five Elders of the Zhao Family, aside from Zhao Yu.
"Ah, Brother Xing Chen has arrived! Please take a seat," upon seeing Xing Chen and Zhao Yu, Zhao Yuanlong quickly stood up and pointed to an empty seat below.
The gazes of the Five Elders also turned towards Xing Chen almost simultaneously. They were already aware of Zhao Yuanlong's decision and were now eager to see Xing Chen's true abilities.
Under their watchful eyes, Xing Chen leisurely took a seat in an empty spot, completely unaffected by the invisible pressure emanating from the Five Elders.
"Not bad, just based on this composure, his future achievements will definitely be significant," one of the elders nodded and remarked lightly.
"Although his composure is commendable, we have yet to see his actual strength," another elder interjected just as the first elder finished speaking.
"Alright. This is a family banquet, not a competition," Zhao Yuanlong said with a faint glance at the five elders. He then stood up and addressed everyone present.
"Everyone, this banquet is held to celebrate our Zhao Family for acquiring a Elemental Stone Vein. Additionally, there is another matter: during the competition for the Elemental Stone Vein against the people from the Song Family, our Elder Six, Zhao Yu, inadvertently discovered a talent."
"In this upcoming ranking competition, this person will also represent our Zhao Family in battle," Zhao Yuanlong announced loudly while looking at Xing Chen.
The other Zhao Family Disciples, upon seeing their head's gaze, naturally realized who the external aid invited by the family was. Almost simultaneously, all eyes of the Zhao Family disciples focused on Xing Chen.
However, one of the youths looked at Xing Chen with eyes full of resentment. This person was originally one of the representatives from the Zhao Family participating in this grand competition, but due to Xing Chen's sudden appearance, he was ruthlessly eliminated.
This youth also possessed the cultivation of Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, but his true combat strength remained unknown.
At this moment, Xing Chen felt the gaze filled with hatred and turned to glance at the resentful youth.
"Brother Xing Chen, he is just a child who doesn't understand; please don't take it to heart," Zhao Yu said as he noticed Xing Chen looking back.
"Rest assured, he is not worthy of me taking action against him," Xing Chen replied lightly without looking at the youth again.
"Patriarch, we have yet to see this person's true strength; it may not be wise to change participants hastily!" At this time, a Zhao Family disciple stepped forward.
This person was the strongest disciple among the younger generation of the Zhao Family, named Zhao Guang. Although his strength was also at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, he could contend with powerful opponents like Yang Po Er Chong.
"That's right, Patriarch. I also think it's somewhat inappropriate to change participants midway."
"Patriarch, no matter what, shouldn't we let him prove his strength?"
"Yes, let him fight Zhao Ming. If he can defeat Zhao Ming, then he can take Zhao Ming's place."
With Zhao Guang's words, several other participants in the competition echoed their agreement.
And Zhao Ming was naturally the one who was glaring at Xing Chen with a face full of resentment.
"Shut up, all of you. The head of the family’s decision is not something you can defy," Zhao Yu said angrily upon seeing the situation.
He was well aware of Xing Chen's strength. If these ignorant fools angered Xing Chen, the banquet would likely turn into a graveyard.
"Elder Six, I heard this person was recommended by you. You wouldn’t be afraid he would lose to Zhao Ming, would you? That’s why you don’t dare let him compete with Zhao Ming!" Zhao Guang sneered as he glanced at Zhao Yu.
Although Zhao Yu was an elder, Zhao Guang was not afraid of him at all. After all, with his own combat power, even if he couldn't match Zhao Yu, he certainly wouldn't be killed by him. Therefore, there was no trace of fear in Zhao Guang's expression.
"You... scoundrel..." Zhao Yu trembled with anger. His intention was to protect the safety of the Zhao Family Disciple, but unexpectedly, Zhao Guang twisted it into a personal agenda. This made Zhao Yu feel like he could explode from rage.
"Elder Six, Guang'er does have a point. Why not let them compete? This way everyone can be convinced," the Third Elder of the Zhao Family suddenly spoke up. The Third Elder had reached the Sun Soul Threefold Peak and was just one step away from the Fourth Level. Moreover, since Zhao Guang was his grandson, he naturally wanted to support him.
"Fine, since that's the case, I won't interfere anymore. I hope you won't regret this decision," Zhao Yu said angrily.
"This isn't me refusing to give you face; some people just need to see blood before they feel comfortable!" Xing Chen slowly stood up and glanced at Zhao Yu.
"Brother Xing Chen, since they are pushing so hard, then prove your strength!" Zhao Yu was truly furious at this moment. After all, he had good intentions but was slandered like this; anyone would feel bad in his position.
