Chapter 20 The Family Competition Begins

"I'll count to three. If you still don't take your lackeys and scram, then you won't have to leave," scoffed Stephan.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Go get him! Take down Stephan and cripple him!" This was a blatant insult. Bai XiaoYvonne was completely enraged. Today was the day he would cripple Stephan.

"Everyone, attack together and capture him for Young Master!"

"Go..."

The five bodyguards surrounded Stephan in an instant, but Stephan looked at Bai XiaoYvonne calmly, not nervous at all.

These five bodyguards were only at the fourth level of Refinement, so they were nothing to Stephan.

"Haaargh."

With a loud shout, the five of them used their spiritual power at the same time to attack Stephan. Stephan stood where he was and didn't even use his spiritual power.

With just a gentle wave of his hand, the five of them were instantly sent flying.

"Impossible..."

Seeing this, Bai XiaoYvonne couldn't help shouting in horror. Even if he was at the sixth level of the Refinement Realm, he couldn't send five practitioners at the fourth level of the Refinement Realm flying without using spiritual strength.

Bai XiaoYvonne stared warily at Stephan, observing him closely. At this moment, he was certain that Stephan must have had some kind of treasure on him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to pull off such a feat.

Three months ago, Stephan was still a wastrel at the second level of the Refinement Realm. How could he be so strong now?

"No, there must be a treasure on me. I must get it. I can't be impulsive." Bai XiaoYvonne made a decision in an instant. He glared at Stephan viciously and said, "Stephan, just you wait. I won't let you go." Then he disappeared from the market with his five bodyguards.

"Brother Stephan..." Yvonne looked at Stephan with great self-blame. She felt that all of this was caused by her and apologized profusely.

"It's alright. Let's go." Stephan touched Yvonne's head and said with a smile.

Just as the two of them were about to leave the market, Stephan suddenly heard the voice of the Martial God system. "Black cloth from the first stall on the left, take it."

This was the Martial God system's mission. Stephan was stunned.

"Yvonne, wait a minute. Let's go take a look at that stall." Stephan stopped and whispered.

The stall owner was a white-haired old man. His face was extremely aged. He was lying on the stall with an expression of enjoyment.

When he saw Stephan and the others arrive, he was not welcomed and continued to lie on the stool.

The stall mainly sold ordinary daggers. Stephan pretended to pick up one and looked at it, then asked with a smile, "Sir, how much is this dagger?"

"Not only are my daggers being sold, if you want to buy them, then buy them all," The white-haired old man lazily stretched his waist and spoke with a beaming smile.

"Uh." Stephan had never seen a seller like this before. Not only was he selling them, but he was also selling them all at once.

If it weren't for the mission issued by the Martial God system, Stephan wouldn't have come to visit such an ordinary person at all.

"Well then, my family happens to be lacking some weapons. How much do you want to buy all of these for?" Stephan pretended to think for a moment and asked with a smile.

"One thousand silver taels."

"800 taels," Stephan bargained.

"Deal," the white-haired old man replied frankly.

Stephan shook his head helplessly. Then, as if nothing had happened, he picked up a piece of black cloth next to the dagger. This piece of black cloth was very old and Stephan didn't recognize the pattern on it at all. Besides, this piece of cloth had been weathered under the sun.

"Sir, what is this piece of cloth for?" Stephan asked nonchalantly.

"I found it accidentally in the mountains. I think it may be a treasure map, so I put it out for sale. If you want it, you can take it with 80 taels of silver," the white-haired old man stroked his long beard and said calmly.

Stephan felt that the old man was acting like an old faker. "What if no one came to buy the treasure map?"

"I'm not sure, and no one believes me. That's why I'm selling it at such a low price," the old man answered truthfully.

"Okay, I'll buy it all." Stephen put away the things after paying, and then disappeared from the market with Yvonne.

Fortunately, Stephan exchanged the corpse of the demonic beast for a thousand-year-old Ganoderma and some silver. However, he had spent everything this time.

Upon returning home, Stephan bid farewell to Yvonne and directly entered the Martial God's Realm.

"Mission completed. 800 general points." As expected, the system had prompted that the mission had been completed. To Stephan's surprise, however, the reward was 800 general points.

"What kind of cloth is this? Is it really a treasure map?" Stephan thought to himself.

"What the hell is this Wu?" Stephan couldn't figure it out. He just had to ask Wu for help.

"That's not what you should know now. You'd better focus on the competition. On the day you become an alchemist, I will tell you this piece of cloth." Wu's voice sounded in Stephan's mind.

"Could it have something to do with an alchemist?" This was not the first time Stephan had heard of an alchemist, but how could he become one himself?

After that, Stephan asked many more questions but Martial did not answer. In the end, Stephan gave up, kept the black cloth, and began cultivating.

Four days later, at the Yale family's house in Milky River Town.

Today, the Yale family was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It was very grand. The annual Yeager Family gathering officially began today.

The aim of the Family Competition was to determine the strongest person in the younger generation, the one with the most potential. This was already a tradition of the Yeager Family.

The annual Family Competition was the busiest time in the Yeager Family.

Early in the morning, all members of the Yeager Family gathered in the Yeager Family square.

At the center of the square was a martial arts arena. In front of the martial arts arena was the main platform where the Yeager Family's higher-ups sat. Surrounding them were some of the Yeager Family's younger generation members.

As the grandson of the head of the Yeager Family, Stephan leaned against his father, Tyler, and sat on the side of the rostrum.

On the rostrum sat Patriarch Maxwell, Tyler, Leon and some elders. On the two sides were the younger generation of the Yeager Family, including Bonnie, Wilson, Stephan, and others.

The younger generation of the Yeager Family were sitting around and cheering for their idols.

At the moment when everyone's gazes were focused on, a white-haired elder walked onto the middle of the plaza's martial stage and extended his hand to indicate silence to the people underground.

"I am Ye Qingshan, a member of the elder group of the Yeager Family. I will be the judge of the Yeager Family Competition this time. I hope that all the contestants are ready." Ye Qingshan introduced with a smile.

Next was the introduction to the rules of the Family Competition, which was held every year.

It was Stephan's first time participating in the competition, so he listened intently to the rules.

Bonnie won first place in the last competition. This year, Bonnie received all the resources of the Yeager Family, which was very outstanding.

This year, Bonnie was expected by the public, and Stephan did not notice him at all.

According to the rules of the Family Competition, ten people would participate in the competition. They would be divided into five groups and five winners would advance to the second round. After that, they would draw lots and one person would have time to draw lots. The other four contestants would fight with each other, and the final three winners would enter into round after round of battles. The winner of two battles would be the first, the winner would be the second and the loser would be the third.

Furthermore, this year's Family Competition's top three prizes were extremely generous, causing everyone's eyes to turn red with envy.

The first place would be rewarded with a copy of the understanding of warriors in the Acquired Realm, a Bottleneck Pill, and a second-rate cultivation method.

The second place would be rewarded with a second-rate cultivation technique and countless money.

The third place would be rewarded with a third-rate cultivation technique and countless wealth.

These prizes were enough to make anyone's eyes redden, especially the first place prizes and the insights of a Postnatal martial artist. These were extremely important to any martial artist at the 9th level of the Refinement Realm. Moreover, there was also a bottleneck pill that will make any martial artist at the 9th level of the Refinement Realm's eyes redden. This was absolutely the biggest prize of this tournament.

As the name implied, Bottleneck Pills were used to break through bottlenecks. Any martial artist at the peak of the ninth level of the Refinement Realm could easily break through to the Acquired Realm as long as he took a Bottleneck Pill. For a martial artist at the ninth level of the Refinement Realm, it was definitely a treasure.

Even Bonnie was moved. "The first place is mine."

The entire square was in an uproar. It seemed like the family was going to invest a lot in nurturing a monstrous genius this time.

After a brief moment of madness, it was time to draw lots.

Ten people went on the stage and drew lots. Ten lots, from No. 1 to No. 10. No. 1 against No. 10, No. 2 against No. 9, No. 3 against No. 8, No. 4 against No. 7, No. 5 against No. 6.

Bonnie was the first to go up to the stage to draw lots. He casually drew a lot and there was no trace of nervousness on his face.

"Right, Bonnie is a real warrior at the eighth level of the Refinement Realm. Among the ten contestants, he is the only one at the eighth level of the Refinement Realm, which is enough for him to look down on the crowd."

Wilson, Zoila, and the others followed suit. Finally, Stephan went up to the stage to draw lots.

Stephan randomly picked one and unfolded it. There was a big word written on it. It looked like it was lot number one.

Then Ye Qingshan walked to the front of the stage and said to the ten players, "Today's first match, No. 1 versus No. 10, No. 1 and No. 10 come on the stage."

With that, Stephan and Hugo Yeager walked onto the stage.

Hugo, a Fighter at Fighter 6th level of Refinement, was a member of the Yeager Family of the Yeager Family. She usually spent her time training and didn't show herself much, but her strength was still quite strong.

Below the stage, Wilson's face was full of anger. "Hmph, Stephan, let's see how the tournament is going to punish you."

"I hope you can hold on until the final." Bonnie shook his head disdainfully and said lightly.

In Bonnie's eyes, Stephan was still too inexperienced.

"Good luck, Brother Stephan. You're the best." Just when everyone was anticipating the battle between the two, Yvonne's voice suddenly echoed throughout the Martial Arts Practice Platform.

"Brother Stephan, come on, we all support you." Martin also supported Stephan loudly.
