The Zhao family, located in the north of the Divine Desolate Continent, is one of the four famous families in the continent.

The whole Zhao family, countless tall buildings row upon row, undulating tens of thousands of square meters, inside is the Lingtai pavilion, carved beams and painted columns, showing a thriving family scene.

At this moment, the Zhao family is staging a shocking drama that is not uncommon in the mainland - the battle of the head of the family.

The head of the family is the soul of the entire family, and once he sits on the position of the head of the family, he will immediately become a famous and powerful person in the entire continent.

In addition to the sect masters of the Nine Great Sects, the heads of these four major families are the most powerful people on the continent.

Therefore, no matter which family, in the battle of the head of the family, it is a sword and a sword, and the dark tide is surging, no one can easily sit in this vital position, and if you want to be the head of the family, you have to go through a fierce life and death battle, open and secret struggle.

Without a cold bone, how can the plum blossoms be fragrant.

This sentence describes the difficulty and cruelty of all the families in the mainland and the struggle between the heads of the families of the past generations.

And in each family, the procedure for competing for the head of the family is very different.

As one of the four major families, the Zhao family, running for the head of the family is even more difficult and cruel.

The Zhao family's candidate for the head of the family is the nine sons of the current head of the family, Zhao Xi.

These nine sons, none of them are weak, they were sent out since they were young, and they were in charge of the Zhao family's martial arts halls all over the country, allowing them to experience in their respective fields.

During this time, without the summoning of the head of the family, no one was allowed to leave the branch of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall where they were located, and they could only continue to expand shili in their respective fields.

And all this is to prepare for the future competition for the position of the head of the family.

Zhao Xi's nine sons, after being sent to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Pavilion Branch, most of them had to rely on their own efforts to constantly expand their contacts and consolidate and strengthen their shili.

And the Zhao family is just silently providing financial support behind the scenes.

The shili they each cultivated is an indispensable backup liliang when competing for the head of the family in the future.

Of course, in this way, there will inevitably be some unfairness, after all, some places are remote, the aura of heaven and earth is thin, and there are very few strong people, no matter how hard you try to recruit them, you can't recruit those super strong people to work.

And some places are extremely rich, the aura of heaven and earth is unusually abundant, such a place, outstanding people, strong people like clouds, the son of the head of the family who is assigned to these places to sit in the town, can recruit a lot of strong people to work for it.

Zhao Yunbing, is Zhao Xi's seventh son, he was assigned to Xishui City, is an extremely remote place in the eastern part of the mainland, this place can be described as sparsely populated, the aura of heaven and earth is also very scarce, and the strong are even more pitiful.

Zhao Dayu, is Zhao Xi's eldest son, after adulthood, he was sent to the Zhao family branch in the north of the continent, here, can be said to be the most rich and powerful place in the whole continent, the strong are as many as the carp across the river, after years of painstaking management, Zhao Dayu's comprehensive shili, has reached an extremely terrifying point.

Zhao Sanxi, the third son of Zhao Xi, is also in the Zhao Family Martial Arts Pavilion in the extreme north of the mainland, and there is no shortage of strong people under his command, and it is rumored that when he competes for the position of the head of the family, the Divine Sect will send strong people to help.

Zhao Youyu is the fourth son of Zhao Xi, the branch of the Zhao family where he is located is the west of the mainland, and it is not very far away from the Zhao family's main sect.

As for the other sons, they are about the same as Zhao Yunbing, the place where they sit is located in a remote area, and there is a shortage of strong people, so the comprehensive shili is not strong.

In this battle between the heads of the Zhao family, those who are interested can see at a glance that Zhao Dayu and Zhao Sanxi are the biggest winners, as for Zhao Yunbing, Zhao Youyu and other seven people, Zuihou may only be reduced to a foil.

Originally, the dispute between the head of the Zhao family did not come so soon, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and the current head of the family, Zhao Xi, suddenly became seriously ill and was already terminally ill, and he was no longer able to deal with family affairs, and even the ancestors of the Zhao family were helpless, so in the unthinkable, the ancestors of the Zhao family had to urgently recall the nine sons of Zhao Xi who were outside, so that they could prepare to run for the position of head of the family.

Now, three days have passed since the election of the head of the family.

In the first three days, the strong man of the family personally supervised the examination and inspected the respective literary talents and strategies of Zhao Xi's nine sons.

Although the Divine Desolate Continent is a shijie where the weak eat the strong and the strong are respected, emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature, as the head of the family, literary style and strategy are also indispensable, which is a prerequisite for dealing with family affairs in the future.

If there is no strategy, only the courage of the horseman, and he is not qualified for the position of the head of the family.

After three days of testing and elimination, Zhao Xijiuzi and Zuihou only had four people left.

These four people are Zhao Dayu, Zhao Sanxi, Zhao Youyu, and Zhao Yunbing.

Each of them has extraordinary talents, brilliant writing, and excellent strategies, and can definitely become a qualified head of the family.

It's just that among these four people, everyone sees only Zhao Dayu and Zhao Sanxi, as for Zhao Youyu and Zhao Yunbing, none of them think that they can pass the next martial arts competition.

In this martial arts competition, not only to test the strength of each of these four people individually, but also to conduct a team battle to test the strength of the comprehensive shili under their respective commands.

Since the Zhao family has become one of the four famous families, it has always adhered to one principle, that is: "There is much help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust!"

In the eyes of the ancestor of the Zhao family, a qualified family head must not only have super strength, but also have the ability to control the strong people under him.

Compared with the two, the ancestors paid more attention to the second point.

This is because, even if his own strength is not very strong, if he can recruit countless strong people to work for him and have the ability to control thousands of troops, he will still be able to carry forward the entire family in the future.

After all, an excellent head of the family does not need to do everything himself, and many times, he sends strong people under his command to do things.

If you don't have the ability to control your subordinates, no matter how strong you are, you are not qualified to become the head of the family.

Therefore, in this next martial arts competition, the main test is the combat effectiveness of the team under the command of the four.

In the early morning of the fourth day, when the sun poured into the earth, all the people of the Zhao family gathered on the huge square in front of the main hall of the Zhao family.

Zhao Dayu and Zhao Yunbing, all of them, stood in the center of the main hall square energetically, looking up at the high platform in front of them.

On the high platform, there are several strong people of the Zhao family sitting upright at this moment, as for the two positions in the middle, they are empty, and these two positions are reserved for the ancestor of the Zhao family and the head of the family, Zhao Xi.

Today's martial arts fight, the competition is to test the individual combat ability of the four Zhao Yunbing, the ancestor of the Zhao family disdains to come, as for the head of the family, Zhao Xi, is already terminally ill, and he can't come in person.

This big competition was jointly supervised and assessed by the Zhao family.

"Knock knock!" On the right side of the high platform, a descendant of the family raised a heavy hammer and suddenly beat the big drum.

Three deafening loud noises quickly reverberated through the heavens and the earth, resounding over the entire Zhao family, reverberating for a long time.

The sound of the drum was still echoing in the air, and a white-haired and white-bearded worshipper powerhouse had already grown up and slowly walked to the edge of the high platform.

This old man, named Li Xian, is the person who presides over today's Dabi.

"Everyone, before the start of the martial arts competition, the old man briefly talked about the rules of the competition, this martial arts competition, as in the past, is divided into two rounds.

In the first round, the strength of the four sons was tested, and the opponents were drawn by lot, and the first to fourth places were selected in rounds of elimination.

At the end of this round of martial arts competition, the top three winners will be qualified to enter the second round of the competition, and the fourth place will be eliminated.

In the second round, the competition is a team fighting ability, and the three winners will lead their respective teams into a special venue for the final battle, and Zuihou can only have one winner and become the head of the house.

Four sons, can you hear clearly?" Li Xian glanced at Zhao Yunbing and the others, and asked slowly.

"Hear me clearly!" Zhao Yunbing and the four of them nodded in unison.

"There is another point, the old man wants to remind the four sons, that is, in this martial arts competition, you must not deliberately hurt people's lives, the competition is mainly based on competition, and the point is up, after the other party admits defeat, do not rush to kill, if there is a violation, the qualification for the competition will be cancelled immediately, can you remember?" Li Xian reminded again.

"Elder Li, we already know these rules, don't be verbose anymore, let's announce the start quickly!" Zhao Sanxi immediately rolled his eyes impatiently when he heard this, and said with a sneer, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he couldn't wait to end this big competition as soon as possible.

"Third brother, Hugh has to be rude to Elder Li!" Zhao Dayu heard this, and immediately scolded him unhappily.

"Hmph, big brother, you take care of yourself first, stay in the big competition, don't blame my brother for not showing mercy!" Zhao Sanxi immediately laughed arrogantly when he heard this.

With the support of the Divine Gate behind him, he has secretly decided in his heart that he is the head of the family.

As for the others, except for Zhao Dayu, who is still a little difficult to fight, the remaining Zhao Yunbing and Zhao Youyu are completely vulnerable.

"Okay, now that the four sons have understood the rules of the martial arts competition, let's go on stage and draw their opponents!" Li Xian waved his hand, interrupting the dispute between the two sons and announcing the start of the competition.

"Boom......" Zhao Yunbing and the four of them jumped onto the high platform together, walked to the big box in the middle, and bent down to pull out an ultimatum from it.

This ultimatum is a thin piece of folded silk paper, in which are written two numbers, the first number is your temporary number, and the second number is the number of the opponent in the competition.

Because this ultimatum was sealed and forbidden by Li Xian himself, and without his special way to open it, outsiders would not be able to use their divine thoughts to spy on its contents, so this big competition can be described as very fair, and no one can do anything about it.

"Pengpeng ......" Li Xian waved his hand, and all the prohibitions on the ultimatum in the hands of the four people were broken.

"No. 3, No. 4!" Zhao Yunbing opened the ultimatum and immediately saw the two sets of numbers on it.
