Chapter 541: Zhu family genius

Under the azure void, the snow on the mountain top appeared even whiter.

A bird with a huge body suddenly flew out from under the mountain peak, with a clear cry, and dived into the void.

"This is a three-colored peacock!"

True Person Xihu, who was at the Golden Core stage, stood on the peacock and looked at Mu Ruolin and He Pingsheng behind her, laughing and saying: "It belongs to a relatively high-tier spirit beast; now, like this seat, it is at the Golden Core stage cultivation. Its flight speed is extremely fast; it was caught by me a hundred years ago and became my mount!"

"How about it?"

"Not bad, right?"

True Person Xihu showed off her mount with some pride.

He Pingsheng nodded: "This mount of the senior not only has high cultivation, but also fast speed; the junior thinks, the appearance is also high, very beautiful!"

"Hehehe..." True Person Xihu laughed: "He Pingsheng, you are still quite good at talking... how about it, how about becoming my disciple?"

"Our Li family is a big family on this Doumi Mountain!"

"After becoming my disciple, this seat will definitely cherish you well!"

He Pingsheng felt numb all over: "This... senior... let's talk about it after I come back from the Heavenly Fire Relic!"

"That's fine!" True Person Xihu nodded: "This competition, you must be careful and cautious; I heard that the Zhu family's disciples are very powerful, they have already released words that they want to win first place this time!"

"He Pingsheng, our Li family must be first!"

"Do you know why?"

True Person Xihu looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "This, the junior doesn't know very well!"

Mu Ruolin said: "Because our Li family is the strongest family on Doumi Mountain; last time, the time before last, the time before that, almost every competition for so many years, our Li family has been first!"

"This time we can't drag our feet either!"

"Of course!" Mu Ruolin sighed: "If it weren't for your sudden appearance, our Li family definitely wouldn't have been able to win first place this time, because I really can't beat Zhu Dong!"

He Pingsheng clicked his tongue after hearing this.

Always first?

Amazing, Li family.

If it were occasionally first, that would be fine; every time it's first, and every time different disciples participate in the competition.

What does this explain?

It explains that the Li family is strong, and the Li family's young people are also strong.

On one hand, it's luck; on the other hand, it's family style.

Although He Pingsheng didn't have much time to contact the Li family, he had a basic understanding of the Li family's family style.

The Li family's atmosphere was very upright.

Although there were also those who killed people to snatch treasures, and were cold and harsh.

But overall, the Li family's disciples were mostly those who were humble and upward-looking.

Especially the high-level, they could also distinguish right from wrong, and would not be swayed by emotions.

This kind of place was much better than the atmosphere of the Profound Heaven Sect where He Pingsheng was when he was young.

In such a sect, among the young disciples, geniuses would be continuously stimulated, and the evergreen of the family could be guaranteed.

The three-colored peacock flew along this huge mountain range for about half an hour, and finally arrived at a sect.

No...

It should be said, a family!

On the sign standing at the entrance, two words were written: Kong Family!

The Kong family was the location for this seven-family competition.

The entire competition, besides the Li family, Kong family, and Zhu family, had four other families, which were the Xuan family, Wu family, Hu family, and Gao family.

The competition adopted a rotation system.

Each family plays six matches.

They have to play all the other families except their own.

The competition has twenty-one matches in total.

Winning one match earns one point.

In this way, the final ranking is based on points.

For equal points, the ranking is based on the head-to-head record.

Basically, it was similar to the nine-country competition He Pingsheng participated in back then.

"Please..." Someone from the Kong family specially invited True Person Xihu and the other three to the back mountain.

On the back mountain, there was a competition arena.

The so-called competition arena was actually a valley.

Because only these seven families were participating, there was no need to wait too long.

About half an hour later, everyone arrived.

The head

"My apologies for the poor hospitality!"

"I ask that you all forgive me!"

"In the spirit of friendship, we shall continue to use the old system this time: each family is free to choose their own opponent!"

"Since every family has to fight anyway, just pair yourselves up!"

"Furthermore, the old rules must be reiterated."

"First, no external items may be used; during combat, rely only on your own spells and divine abilities!"

"Second, if one side surrenders, the other must not continue to attack!"

"Third, we are all of one branch and should not damage our harmony; those outside the arena must absolutely not intervene!"

"Very well... you may now issue your challenges!"

As soon as the Golden Core cultivator from the Kong family finished speaking, a plump middle-aged man in red Daoist robes stood up and said, "My Zhu family challenges the champions of the previous term, the Li family!"

Swish...

Everyone's gaze fell upon that Golden Core cultivator of the Zhu family.

The Zhu family Golden Core smiled cheerfully at True Person Xihu: "Fellow Daoist Xihu, is the person your Li family is sending out to fight Mu Ruolin?"

True Person Xihu shook his head: "No, Mu Ruolin is the alternate. The person our Li family is sending out to fight is He Pingsheng!"

"He Pingsheng, come out and pay your respects to Senior Zhu Ci!"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng stepped out and bowed respectfully: "Junior He Pingsheng pays his respects to Senior Zhu Ci!"

Whoosh!

Zhu Ci's overbearing spiritual sense swept over He Pingsheng: "I've never heard of anyone named He Pingsheng in your Li family?"

True Person Xihu said: "He is a disciple I have newly taken in!"

"Who is your Zhu family sending to fight?"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Ci laughed heartily: "Who else could it be? It must be our Zhu family's number one genius of the Qi Condensation Stage, Zhu Dong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone around turned their gaze toward a young man dressed in black.

This was Zhu Dong.

The young genius of the Zhu family.

It was rumored that his combat power was extremely formidable.

"I've heard that Zhu Dong is incredible, known as invincible in Qi Condensation!"

"Indeed... the number one person in the Qi Condensation Stage!"

"I also heard that he previously fought bare-handed, relying only on spells to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator from their own Zhu family!"

"Terrifying. The old Zhu family is about to rise!"

"Indeed, I fear the Li family will have to yield their champion position this year!"

Many people whispered among themselves.

He Pingsheng's gaze naturally turned toward the black-clad youth as well.

The youth did not look very old, and his face still carried a hint of baby fat.

His eyes flashed with a fanatical desire for battle.

"Good!" The Kong family Golden Core waved his hand and said: "You may begin... The first match: Zhu Dong versus the Li family's He Pingsheng!"

Zhu Dong's body darted out with a 'whoosh', and with a few leaps, he landed in the valley where the arena was located.

He Pingsheng followed closely behind.

"Hehehe..." The Kong family Golden Core chuckled and said: "The Li family changed their fighter at the last minute, replacing Mu Ruolin with this He Pingsheng. It seems this kid should not be underestimated!"
