Chapter 310

"This girl actually dared to hang up on me?"

On the other side, Zhou Heng, in an office, saw Zhou Xiaobai hang up the call.

He shook his head, not angry at all.

After all, he knew his daughter's temper.

Besides, she'd brought such good news—he had even less reason to be angry.

"At least ten percent bloodline concentration, and she's the top scorer in Su Hang Province, admitted to Su Hang University.

And with the top freshman rank, she became captain of Su Hang University's team for the National University Freshman Exchange Competition.

This Zhou Yi… isn't ordinary…"

Zhou Heng sighed deeply.

He even wondered if the Goddess of Fate, seeing how pitiful the Zhou family had become, had deliberately sent Zhou Yi into their lives.

"Regardless, first notify the clan and prepare to convene the family assembly."

Thinking of having to deal with those old foxes in the clan again, Zhou Heng felt a headache coming on.

But remembering the Zhou family's current state, he regained his resolve:

"This time, no matter what, I won't let them ruin it again…"

After hundreds of years, the entire Zhou family had grown immensely large.

Yet only a few elders and the clan head actually controlled it.

Just five or six people total.

Normally, these people were all within Tian Lan Province, but scattered across different prefecture-level cities.

And by nine o'clock at night,

the six individuals who controlled the entire Zhou family and held supreme authority had all gathered in a conference hall inside the Zhou family villa.

"Clan Head, why not just use the holographic projection to say what you need?

Why summon everyone here?"

Inside the conference hall, a thin, middle-aged man in a long robe spoke with clear dissatisfaction.

"Si Yuan's right—we're all busy. The Chamber of Commerce can't function without me for even a day."

Another middle-aged Fatty chimed in.

It was clear that everyone present shared some facial resemblance.

Yet their words carried an undercurrent of tension.

At the front of the conference hall, a tall middle-aged man frowned slightly at this scene.

He was Zhou Yuan, current clan head of the Zhou family, a Level 54 Triple-Transformation Warrior.

The nominal supreme authority of the Zhou family.

This kind of scene was not the first time it had happened.

Due to the curse on the Iceblood Lineage, the once-mighty Zhou family had gradually begun to decline.

Naturally, these Zhou elders had developed thoughts of breaking away and establishing their own branches.

They were slowly ceasing to respect him as clan head.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Zhou Yuan spoke in a low, steady voice:

"I've called you here because there is an important matter to discuss."

As a Triple-Transformation cultivator, his strength was no empty boast.

Now, with his aura released, the others immediately suppressed their discontent.

"Ah Heng, you speak."

Zhou Yuan turned to Zhou Heng beside him.

The Zhou clan had countless members, with many internal interest groups.

This Zhou Heng was his childhood playmate and one of his most trusted allies.

Though his level was low—only Level 24—he was exceptionally skilled in management.

This good news came from him; naturally, he should be the one to deliver it.

"Understood."

Zhou Heng nodded slightly, then stood up.

He extended his right hand and lightly tapped the center of the round table.

Immediately, a holographic projection appeared.

It was the figure of a tall young man, his eyes firm and sharp, radiating a faint aura of pressure.

"Elders, I will now introduce to you this Zhou Yi…"

Under Zhou Heng's description, Zhou Yi's origins unfolded in detail.

The elders, who had previously shown no interest, gradually grew intrigued:

"S+ talent, provincial top scorer in Su Hang, Level 22 Holy Knight—this Zhou Yi is truly a genius."

"Who would've thought a remote branch line could produce such a genius? Rare indeed."

"Clan Head is bringing him to us because he wants him reintegrated into the main lineage—I have no objection."

"..."

In past years, branch-line members with exceptional talent had been reabsorbed into the main lineage before.

The elders weren't particularly surprised by this.

"But if this is all, Clan Head can make the decision himself—no need to convene a family assembly."

"Of course, it's not just because Zhou Yi's talent is exceptional."

Facing the elders' question, Zhou Heng gave a faint smile and said:

"This Zhou Yi has successfully awakened the Frost Bloodline."

"And his bloodline concentration is at least above 10 degrees!!"

Zhou Heng's words were, without a doubt, like dropping a heavy bomb on a calm lake—in an instant, stunning everyone present:

"Frost Bloodline? A bloodline concentration of 10 degrees?! How is that possible!"

"Among the younger generation of our main branch, the highest Frost Bloodline concentration is only 4 degrees, right? Yet this Zhou Yi is actually 10 degrees?!"

"Terrifying beyond compare!"

"......"

These elders, each one of them, looked to be only in their thirties or forties.

But in reality, they were all already in their fifties or sixties, each one exceptionally well-cultivated in self-restraint.

Yet at this moment, they were all uncontrollably excited at once, each face flushed red!!

"If we bring this boy back, within ten years our Zhou clan will surely rise again!"

"A Frost Bloodline concentration of 10 degrees is more than enough to transfer into those hidden professions within our clan!"

"Although he's already transferred into the Holy Knight, there are still other methods—Method to make him heavy!"

"......"

Without even having met the person yet, these elders had already begun planning Zhou Yi's future professional development, one after another.

This couldn't really be blamed on them.

After all, a Frost Bloodline concentration of 10 degrees was truly rare.

"Although we've already confirmed that Zhou Yi possesses the Frost Bloodline, aside from Zhou Xiaobai, no other clan members in high positions have had contact with him."

"My suggestion is, tomorrow have Zhou Heng personally go to Qingjing University and speak with Zhou Yi face to face."

The moment Zhou Yuan finished speaking, the wiry man who had been the first to voice dissatisfaction immediately said:

"Zhou Heng alone isn't enough—let Zhou Yang go along as well."

'Just as I expected, this old fox isn't so easy to fool.'

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes, feeling a touch helpless in his heart.

Zhou Yi, who had awakened the Frost Bloodline, undoubtedly had limitless prospects; whoever made contact with him first would naturally gain more of his goodwill.

If it weren't for the fact that many of the clan's important resources for cultivating Frost Bloodline bearers required both the clan head and the elders to open them together, he would never have told them this news no matter what.

"Fine."

Zhou Yuan nodded, then said:

"Let Zhou Donger and Xiao Lin go along as well. They're all young people, so being together will give them more to talk about."

Zhou Donger was his daughter, eighteen years old this year.

And Zhou Lin was the daughter of another elder, likewise eighteen years old.

Happily the same age as Zhou Yi, and easier to chat with......

What was happening within the Zhou clan, Zhou Yi did not know.

At this moment, he was in the training room carrying out his own training.

"The roster of participants for each university's individual competition has already been submitted. Tomorrow the individual competition will begin."

"When that time comes, my first battle will also begin......"

Unlike the team competition, the schedule of the individual competition was much faster.
