Volume 1: The Beginning of the Storm Chapter 50: The Second Round
The Canglan Conference is still in full swing, and the battles belonging to young people have also experienced the process of starting and ending.
Everything went smoothly. With the passage of time, the first stage of the Canglan Conference is about to come to an end.
From the previous rules, it can be known that more than half of the large and small families need to be eliminated in the first round. Sure enough, on the stone slab where the winners and losers were registered, nearly half of the families had been crossed out, and each scratch meant that a family had since lost the qualification to continue to compete in the competition.
The Ling family is in full swing, and in the previous five matchups, they have all achieved victorious results. The Ling family's all-winning record made it the top of the list among the major families. Closely following the Ling family were the other three of the four families in Canglan: the Yang family, the Zhou family, and the Huang family. Among the families after that, most of them are upstream families, there are only a few midstream families, and the downstream families are even more pitiful, and none of them are on the list. From the results of the first round, it can be roughly seen that the Canglan Conference is the stage of the strong, strength is respected, and everything depends on fists to speak.
Finally, after the end of the last battle, the first round of the Canglan Conference officially came to an end. What is about to start is an even more thrilling second round.
The rules of the second round are not the same as those of the first round. In the second round, each family will draw lots to select their opponents according to the ranking of the first round and play against each other. Each family sends five young geniuses to take turns on the field, and whichever side loses all five first, it will be regarded as a defeat, and from then on it will also lose the qualification to continue fighting.
And in the second round of the Canglan Conference, there is also another rule hidden, that is, no family has dared to challenge the authority for nearly hundreds of years!
In this round, the affiliated families that qualified have the qualifications to challenge the main family. The winner is king, and the loser is the loser. One victory ascends to the sky, one defeat falls to the ground. The fate of the family is quite different.
Since the beginning of the Congress, the probability of such bloody scenes occurring has been close to zero, and only three events challenging authority have been recorded in history.
How can the main family's hundreds of years of accumulation be easily shaken by the affiliated families? The three affiliated families that tried in vain to challenge their authority all paid the most painful price in the end. Even if the uninformed people in the family are the most innocent, the rules are the rules, and the blame can only blame their head for wishful thinking, which affects their whole family.
This kind of challenge is risking the lives of the whole family, and no family member is stupid enough to really dare to challenge the unshakable authority of the main family. Therefore, everyone did not have any hope that the subsidiary family would challenge the main family at the Canglan Conference, so this rule was gradually forgotten by the people of Canglan City.
After a little time of rest, the results of the first round were also counted by Canglan Academy, and the more exciting second round is about to ring the opening bell.
In the second round of the lottery, only half of the families need to participate. The burly man who was holding the large box of devouring spirit stones before the start of the first round passed in front of the remaining half of the families in turn at this time, waiting for the heads of the families to complete the second round of lottery.
It didn't take long for the Spirit Devouring Stone Box to reach the front of the Ling family's team again.
Ling Tianhao first took a large and deep breath and slowly exhaled it. After calming down, he reached out and took out a token engraved with the words of other families.
When Ling Tianhao took out the token, it was the back of the token that was facing everyone. Everyone in the Ling family held their breath, waiting for Ling Tianhao to reverse it, and they were also looking forward to the name of the family that was about to face off against the Ling family.
Ling Tianhao held the token tightly with both hands, and then slowly flipped it over, and a large character written in red handwriting also fell into the eyes of everyone.
However, when everyone saw the words written on the token, a tight string in their hearts also relaxed. The first opponent in this round of duels with the Ling family was just an upstream family whose strength was far inferior to that of the Ling family. This family is also an excellent rank among the upstream families, but compared with the Ling family, one of the four families with terrifying strength, it is far inferior to the mound to see the mountains, the carpenter to see Lu Ban, and the small witch to see the big witch.
Ling Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head with a smile, but inadvertently collided with the gaze of Yang Pochuan, the head of the Yang family.
At this time, Yang Pochuan had a bright smile on his face, obviously drawing a good result, after all, neither of them wanted their family to not even survive the first round. If this is the case, won't the four of them become a laughing stock from now on?
Yang Pochuan touched his chin, looked at Ling Tianhao's position with a little playfulness, and slowly raised the token in his hand. The name of the family that fought against the Yang family also instantly caught Ling Tianhao's eyes. This family, the Ling family is still quite familiar, isn't it the family that went to urge the worship before going to the Yang family half a year ago? Isn't it the Wu family, a subsidiary family of the Ling family?
It turned out that the opponent of the Yang family was actually the Wu family, a subsidiary family of the Ling family! No wonder Yang Pochuan looked at Ling Tianhao with such a strange gaze.
The Wu family was already among the best among the upstream families, but compared with the Yang family, the gap between the two was like that of the Ling family and the Ling family's opponents. The heritage of the four families is not something that can be easily discovered by just one upstream family. Wanting to defeat the four families of Canglan is simply wishful thinking for ordinary families. The only possibility is the four families themselves who are also the four families of the Canglan Major.
The Yang family and the Wu family are facing each other, and the result can be imagined, it must be the Yang family's blood abuse of the Wu family, and the Yang family can even use this to humiliate the Ling family. After all, no matter what, the Wu family is a subsidiary family of the Ling family.
Ling Tianhao retracted his gaze and didn't care about the Yang family's movements anymore. The matter has come to this point, and each has a destiny.
The Ling family achieved the top position in the first round, and the order of appearance in the second round was naturally in the first place.
The one who confronted the Ling family was a family named the Li family whose strength was in the middle of the upper family. However, the process of the battle was extremely smooth, and the Ling family only sent Ling Yun alone, and swept away the five geniuses of the Li family, and successfully resolved the battle belonging to the Ling family with lightning speed.
Ling Yun held his head high and walked down from the stone platform with a haughty attitude, his eyes contemptuous of all beings, as if telling that his opponent's level was too low, and it was too bad.
There was no suspense in this confrontation. The young children of the Li family looked at Ling Yun's tall back, although they were unhappy in their hearts, they were helpless. Ling Yun is a dual cultivator of the Xuan Spirit Realm, in Ling Yun's eyes, they are no different from ants, and they have no power to fight back at all. If you want to be complacent, you must first have the capital of pride.
"Ling Yun, you did a good job, it is worthy of the first day of our Ling family! This is what the son of the Ling family should be. After Ling Yun returned to his original position, Ling Diyuan was full of pride, patted Ling Yun's shoulder with a smile, and couldn't help but praise his son's outstanding performance.
"Well done. As the head of the family, Ling Tianhao naturally had to speak of encouragement. Although he knew the meaning of Ling Diyuan's words. Ling Diyuan hid a knife in his smile, obviously secretly satirizing his righteous son Ye Xiao.
But as the head of the Ling family, although he was furious at this time and wanted to teach his second brother a lesson, he did it after all. After all, now the face of the Ling family is the first place, and outsiders can't see the jokes.
After losing five games in a row to Lingyun, the Li family's trip to the Canglan Conference also came to an end. The head of the Li family took the family and retreated to the other side of the school field.
The head of the Li family was actually a little unconvinced. The Li family is also at the top of the upstream family, and they wanted to use luck to survive to the next few rounds and strive for a good ranking for the Li family. But the world is unpredictable, who could have guessed that the first opponent faced by the Li family would actually be the Ling family, one of the four powerful Canglan families?
Of course, there are also two families who met the Zhou family and the Huang family who also had this kind of complaint, and they were also sighing about this matter. finally fought out of the first round, but the first opponent in the second round was the terrifying Canglan Four.
The second round of competition was much more brutal than the first round, so there were some casualties at this time.
The casualties knew in their hearts that they were almost holding the same thought. Their clan did their best to make it to the second round, so they couldn't let their clan go back to the pre-liberation period so easily. Each of them basically fought each other with the idea of fighting to the death, hoping to finally get a result that was acceptable.
But the truth has always been cruel, no matter how hard they fight, they will not be able to return to heaven after all. Some things can't be changed by determination alone. The fate of their family finally stopped here.
Nearly half of the families were eliminated. Soon came the battle between the Yang family and the Wu family.
Since the end of the draw, Yang Pochuan has always had a bright smile on his face. For many years, the two Ling and Yang families have fought openly and secretly, although they are harmonious on the surface, they are fighting to the death behind the scenes; And now the opponent of the Yang family is the subsidiary family of the Ling family, how can the Yang family easily let go of such an opportunity to satirize the Ling family?
"Yang Hu, come over to me!" Yang Pochuan, the head of the Yang family, shouted sharply at Yang Hu in the back.
Hearing the call of the head of the house, Yang Hu hurriedly ran over and greeted him with a flattering face: "The head of the house ......"
"No more nonsense. Yang Pochuan interrupted his whiskers and patted the horse: "I'll give you another chance." beat the five members of the Wu family to the point that they couldn't recognize their father and mother, and gave the Ling family a dismount. I don't want the Yang family to send a second person, do you understand?!"
"Understood, master. "The fact that the head of the house has given himself the opportunity to play again shows that the head of the house still values him. Yang Hu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, the head of the family, I, Yang Hu, will beat them to the point that I can't find the north." ”
Yang Pochuan nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Yang Hu's assurance, and then he went back to the place where the Yang family's camp was located to drink tea.
Although Yang Hu was abused by blood in the face of Ling Xueyao last time, but in the face of the Wu family, which was only an upstream subsidiary family, Yang Pochuan was relatively relieved about Yang Hu's strength. Therefore, in the next round of battles, he didn't plan to pay too much attention.
However, at this time, another head of the family also considered the same.
