Ten days later, the Tang family's refining star ping finally ushered in the most lively event of the year, the clan competition.

At this time, thousands of people were bustling on the Star Refining Flat within a radius of thousands of meters, all of them looking forward to the Main Douxing Platform in front of them.

On the main star platform, there are more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people sitting in a row, there are men and women, all of them have a strong breath, the lowest strength is also a fourth-order star general, and the few old people in the middle are even the strongest sixth-order star generals.

Tang Chun, the head of the family, stood in the center of the main Douxing platform in high spirits, made a short and inspiring opening speech, and then announced the official start of the clan competition.

As in previous years, children under the age of 20 are required to participate in the competition and are not allowed to be absent without reason.

In the first few rounds, the method of drawing lots was adopted, and the odd and even numbers were played in order from low to high, one to two, three to four, and so on, the winner was promoted, the loser was eliminated, and those who had no opponent were promoted by bye.

This year, there are 253 children under the age of 20 in the Tang family, and 126 will be eliminated in the first round, 63 in the second round, and 31 more in the third round.

The remaining 32 people will be divided into two groups, and the children in the same group will adopt a round-robin elimination system, each person will play a game against everyone else in the group, the winner will score one point, and the loser will score zero points, so as to determine the five people with the highest points in this group, and the two groups will have a total of ten people.

In the end, these ten people still adopt a round-robin system, and finally determine the family ranking of the ten people according to the score.

Since it is a clan comparison, there are naturally rewards, and it is quite rich, which makes the children of the family very hot. However, this reward is only available to those who are in the top 10, and the higher the ranking, the better the reward.

When Tang Wei, the host of the clan competition, briefly announced the rules and asked the participating children to take the stage to draw lots, the children waiting under the Douxing stage lined up one after another, and walked up to the Douxing platform in an orderly manner.

In the team, Tang Yali kept looking into the crowd while following the team, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Sister Yali, what are you looking at?" Tang Yaxue followed behind Tang Yali, saw her like this, and asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm looking to see why Tang Chen hasn't come yet......," Tang Yali replied, her eyes sweeping through the crowd.

"Isn't he keeping a vigil?"

"It was over ten days ago, and I heard that he was in retreat. Tang Yali said that on the day Tang Chen finished the wake, she went to the ancestral shrine to see him, but she didn't see him.

"Heh, how can he be in retreat and cultivate, in my opinion, he is hiding at home and crying his nose is almost ......" Tang Yaxue sneered disappretently.

"Yaxue, how can you say that about him. Tang Yali said angrily.

Tang Yaxue stuck out her tongue and didn't say anything more, but she was thinking in her heart, even if Tang Chen came, what would happen, it was better not to be a foil for others, it was better not to come, so as not to lose too ugly.

"Who else hasn't drawn lots?"

When the last contestant finished drawing lots, there was still a lottery left in the lottery box, and Tang Wei asked loudly.

Everyone glanced around, but no one said anything, Tang Yali didn't know if Tang Chen had signed up for the clan competition, so she didn't say anything.

Tang Chun sat in the middle of the elder seat, he had been paying attention to the drawing of lots, but he didn't see Tang Chen's figure, at this time, listening to Tang Wei's shouting, he looked towards Tang Yang who was standing on the edge of the main Douxing platform.

Tang Yang noticed Tang Chun's gaze and knew that he wanted to ask about Tang Chen's situation, so he shook his head, because he just reported to Tang Chen according to Tang Chun's instructions and informed Tang Chen's mother, but he didn't know why Tang Chen hadn't come yet.

"The third child, it's Chen'er who hasn't come yet, this last sign, even if it's his. The clan competition can start first, and after Chen'er comes, he will directly participate in the competition. Tang Chun said loudly.

Hearing this, Tang Wei couldn't help but be secretly surprised, in previous years, this kind of late thing was directly based on abstention, but he didn't expect Tang Chen to get special treatment, and it was the head of the family who spoke personally, why is this? Is it because of the recent death of the second brother?

The other clansmen also whispered.

"It turns out that Tang Chen hasn't arrived yet, what is he doing, the clan can be late!"

"Maybe because of the death of the second uncle, he was too sad, and he hasn't completely come out of the shadows......"

"That can't be a reason to be late...... someone whispered his displeasure.

"The head of the house may have spoken for him for some other special reason, otherwise the head of the house would not have done so. ”

“......”

Tang Shiwei secretly clenched his fists, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he thought: I hope I can meet Tang Chen in the clan competition, so that I can be ashamed.

There are also many people who have defeated Tang Chen, they listened to the words of the head of the family, they didn't have too many thoughts about Tang Chen in their hearts, they were still full of contempt, and felt that Tang Chen's participation in the clan competition was just a formality.

Compared with the younger ones, the older ones are much more stable, and although they have some thoughts about this special care of the head of the family, no one openly talks about it, just quietly watches the development of the situation.

The two hundred and fifty-three children were divided into one hundred and twenty-six groups and competed at the same time on the nine sub-star platforms.

The nine sub-Douxing platforms are scattered in nine directions around the edge of the Refining Star Flat, like the stars arching over the moon, far away from the main Douxing Platform.

As Tang Wei announced the opponents and the competition venue in groups, the onlookers of the Tang clan flocked to their favorite places.

Soon, each deputy star was surrounded by people, everyone stretched their necks to look at the stage, the competition has not yet started, some people are already cheering for the people they care about, the scene is a little chaotic, but it is very hot.

Everyone didn't have to wait long, after Tang Wei arranged all the opponents' matches, the referees on the vice star platform immediately announced that the competition had officially begun.

One hundred and twenty-six groups of players, it seems to be a lot, but the real competition is very fast, and many players are determined by one move.

On the stage, the players went up and down like a marquee.

In the audience, there are all kinds of discussions, shouts, laughter, and occasional exclamations, all kinds of voices converge and intertwine, so lively!

The elders who sat on the main Douxing platform, seeing the chaotic scene in the audience, seemed to see the appearance of participating in the clan competition when they were young, and they were all full of interest, smiling and chatting with each other, and from time to time they would point to a certain sub-Douxing platform and say something in their ears.

Time passed quietly in this warm and harmonious atmosphere.

When the first round of competition was coming to an end, Tang Yang hurriedly ran to the main Douxing platform and came to Tang Chun.

"How's it going?" Tang Chun asked.

"It's not out yet. Tang Yang shook his head.
