Standing at the Wu Family's seat, Wu Yao smiled upon hearing the news, feeling quite fortunate. In terms of strength, he had no absolute confidence in defeating Yun Tian or the Liu Family's top Heavenly Talent, Liu Wushang. To his surprise, he had managed to surpass these individuals and secure third place, earning his family a ten percent benefit—half a percent more than the previous tournament, which was enough for them to catch their breath.
The Liu Family members wore the most sullen expressions. They had come to the County Tournament with high hopes, believing they could ally with the Li Family to sweep away their surrounding rivals and dominate the top four spots. Little did they expect that none of them would even make it into the top four, only to be swept aside by Yun Fan.
The resources for the next decade would have to be shared with other families, and it seemed they would struggle just to maintain their family's operations, let alone invest heavily in nurturing the next generation.
The Li Family members were not faring much better. Although they secured second place and gained twenty percent of the resources—significantly more than the Liu Family—they had lost many Heavenly Talents in the process. Most notably, their pride and joy, Li Chusheng, had been killed on the spot. It could be said that this battle had left them worse off than before.
Li Gou was heartbroken over his son's death and felt immense sorrow. He chose not to linger and led the Li Family members away from the venue, returning to their estate.
Seeing this situation unfold, the Liu Family slowly departed as well. Among the crowd, Liu Ru Yan watched Yun Fan shining like a star and felt a pang of regret. Had she known he would turn out to be so exceptional, she would have never left him, which now left her in such a dire predicament.
She remembered her engagement to Li Chusheng; they had planned for this County Tournament to solidify their families' union and suppress the other two Big Families. With both the Li Family and Liu Family dominating Dongyang County City, they aimed for complete control. But now, with her fiancé dead before their marriage, she found herself a widow before even tying the knot—her reputation tarnished.
Wu Clan Leader Wu De approached Yun Feng to greet him and then praised Yun Fan, hoping to strengthen ties between their families in order to jointly resist the Li and Liu Families. Afterward, he led the Wu Family members away from the venue.
As Yun Feng saw that the County Tournament had concluded, he and several elders led their disciples back to the Yun Family in grand procession. Along the way, many Yun Family disciples surrounded Yun Fan, continuously praising him as if he were a great hero.
After all, he had turned the tide by decisively defeating a Heavenly Talent from the Li Family and securing first place for his family, earning them thirty percent of the resources. Without Yun Fan's efforts, they would have only received half that amount—barely enough to nurture future generations.
If things continued this way, the Yun Family would gradually decline and no longer be able to compete with the other families. It could be said that this County Tournament had propelled Yun Fan's reputation to its peak.
Not only had he become the number one Heavenly Talent in Dongyang County, but he had also made many aware that the Yun Family had produced a genius disciple. The news spread like wildfire throughout Yongyang County, and Yun Fan's reputation grew ever wider, until no one was unaware of his name.
In the main hall of the Yun Family Mansion, Yun Feng sat with several elders, all wearing radiant smiles as they looked at Yun Fan beside them. Praise for him echoed throughout the room.
Yun Feng took out a storage bag from his robe and slowly handed it over, smiling as he said, "Yun Fan, this is the family's reward for your first-place achievement. Inside, in addition to twenty thousand spirit stones, there is also a plaque that allows you to enter the Family Scripture Pavilion at will. I hope you will continue to cultivate diligently and grow quickly, becoming a pride of our Yun Family."
With a smile on his face, Yun Fan accepted the storage bag, bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "Thank you, Clan Leader and esteemed elders, for your guidance. I will not disappoint everyone's expectations."
Hearing this, everyone revealed bright smiles, clearly satisfied with Yun Fan's demeanor—humble and unassuming. After chatting for a while, several elders advised him that today’s spotlight was too intense and that he should keep a low profile during this time, especially avoiding going outside Yongyang County to prevent retaliation from the Li Family.
