Translator: Misty Cloud Translations  Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

The Nalan Clan and Li Clan were extremely happy about the Sima Clan’s results. The best would be for them to lose completely and be defeated in the middle of the competition once more. It would be perfect if they were to be relegated to a second rate power.

The Sang Clan did not have any grievances towards the Sima Clan, so they didn’t harbour any particular thoughts. It was only the Huo Clan members who were were slightly worried for them.

However, the Sima Clan members were not worried at all because they knew that their younger generations were stronger than the other clans.

“Sima Clan, wait to be completely annihilated!” The members from the Li Clan jeered at them when they saw Sima You Yue and the others. Then, they laughed loudly as they left.

There was an impulsive guy amongst the Sima Clan, and he wanted to go up and teach those people a lesson. However, he was pulled to a stop by Sima You Yue.

“You Yue, don’t stop me. I’m going to beat him up!” That guy struggled while shouting.

“Don’t be rash. This place is a competition. If you cause trouble, the heads may expel us and we’ll lose our right to compete.” Sima You Yang who stood by the side said.

“Those Li Clan members are too malicious!” That guy spat out with dissatisfaction.

‘I recognise that guy. He’s Li Lin from the Li Clan. He’s Li Mu’s older brother. He’s participating in the competition today as well.” Sima You Ran said.

“That’s great.” Sima You Yang said, “Everyone, get this now. If you encounter any Nalan or Li Clan’s people, you better beat them till their parent’s don’t recognise them, understand?”

“Understood!” The Sima Clansmen echoed unanimously.

They returned to their seats and sat down. The older generation naturally saw what had happened, and were extremely pleased that they did not act rashly.

Very quickly, the match started. Those who were chosen went up to draw lots. Once again, they were not allowed to battle their own people, and went up to battle in accordance to the number they picked.

The competition this time would not decide who was stronger or weaker from each family, unless they directly encountered each other. Once the competition was over, there would be a ranking competition deciding the placements. Although this ranking competition would not affect their placements in terms of positions of power, it would still be an unofficial show of dominance. After all, it was every clan’s desire to be the top of the generation.

That was why, although there weren’t that many people who came to the competition amongst the middle aged yesterday, there was a sea of people at the battle ground today. Even the seniors of the guilds were present.

Each clan had sixteen people, and five clans equalled a total of eighty people. They were split into four competitions, and they took place on three elevated stages.

The Sima Clansmen did not participate in the first ten battles, so nobody took notice of them. That was because, in everyone’s opinion, they were doomed to be last.

“The genius from the Huo Clan is really amazing!”

“No way, I heard that Huo Zi Yan is even more amazing!”

“Nalan Jie from the Nalan Clan is really strong too. I brushed shoulders with him that day and I could feel a really terrifying aura!”

“I think that Sang Qiong Li from the Sang Clan is the most impressive one.”

“Sima You Lin from the Sima Clan isn’t too bad either!”

“Being not bad is one thing, but it’s a pity that the Sima Clan no longer has any hope. They won’t be able to change much with just one of him.”

“That’s right, the Sima Clan’s abilities are not comparable to the other four clans. It’s a pity for a clan with such a long history.”

“Who knows, they might not even be as good as our second rate powers!”

“I’ve heard that the Sima Clan, apart from having a talented alchemist, he became a fourth ranked alchemist at just age twenty two. If the Sima Clan had someone as obscenely talented as that guy, how could they lose to this state?”

Those who were watching the events unfold on stage were discussing these things as well. They were also measuring their strength and casting bets on the winner of the next match.

The people around Sima You Yue had all gone down to prepare for battle. The empty space around her made her feel quite conspicuous as she sat in the crowded podium.

There was already no more space to sit by the time Fatty Qu and the others came. When they saw Sima You Yue, they shifted over and sat down.

“It’s still more comfortable here. We were almost squeezed to death over there.” Fatty Qu complained while wiping his sweat away.

“I already asked you to come with me early, but you guys insisted on watching the matches on your own. You deserved to get squashed.” Sima You Yue casually took out a spirit fruit and ate it.

“Who knew that there would be so many people here today. Look over here, it’s almost full to bursting. It wasn’t this way two days ago.” Fatty Qu said, “give me a fruit.”

Sima You yue took one and threw it to him. She took out another one and handed it to Bei Gong Tang while saying, “It looks like everyone likes watching the younger generation battle. Moreover, it’s the last generation of the three generations, so there will naturally be more people.”

“It’s likely that there are more who came to see the youngest generation battle.” Bei Gong Tang said.

“I already heard it when I came over just now. There was someone talking about betting on the matches!” Fatty Qu’s eyes turned to slits, saying, “When the time comes, let’s bet on who will be in first place. We’ll definitely earn so much money that it’ll flow out our pockets.”

“Sure. I’ll leave this to you. You better help our team earn some profits.” Sima You Yue said while patting Fatty Qu’s shoulders.

“No problem. I’ll go and look for Ouyang Fei in a moment to get some money to gamble with.” Fatty Qu replied.

“Why do you have to look for Ouyang Fei?” Bei Gong Tang and Sima You Yue didn’t understand.

“You all helped Ouyang to sit on the throne of the South Eclipse Kingdom so freely; if I don’t get him to come out with the money to gamble, then who would I look for?” Fatty Qu replied.

Ouyang Fei suddenly felt as if they were talking about him and looked over to where the three of them were.

“Nalan Lan is actually within the Nalan clansmen.” Bei Gong Tang said with surprise as she saw Nalan Lan set up.

“It’s a good opportunity for us to take a look at her abilities. I’ve specially looked into it before. She has the lotus physique, and the speed of her cultivation is second only to the Saint clan’s physique.

The saint clan’s physique was one practiced by those possessing light bodies. It was the half of Sima You Yue’s body that was of light.

“So strong!” Fatty Qu looked in surprise at Nalan Lan, who was on stage.

Bei Gong Tang nodded and added on, “However, it’s said that a lot of resources had gone into investing in her physique in order to activate it. They used up a lot of precious treasures. I wonder what level her strength has reached.”

“We’ll be able to see when she battles with her opponent.” Fatty Qu said.

It was a pity that Nalan Lan didn’t fulfill their wishes because she did not act on her own when she went on stage. Instead, she called out her contracted beast.

That was a four tailed spirit fox. It was a second ranked Divine Beast, and its strength was on par with a second ranked Spirit Saint.

Her opponent was a guy from the Li Clan. He was stunned when he saw that spirit fox and immediately admitted defeat. They hadn’t exchanged a single blow, so no one managed to fulfill their wish of seeing their goddess fight.

“Third ring, Nalan Lan wins!” The judge called out.

Bei Gong Tang glanced at Sima You Yue and said, “Looks like this round won’t do. We’ll see whether or not she’s invited to the later matches.”

“Mm.”

“You Yue, someone from your clan is going up.” Fatty Qu said.

Sima You Yue looked towards the arena and Sima You Lan was entering the third ring.

“So it’s Nalan Lan who’s the first one to go up.” Sima You Yue saw the person opposite her and was delighted. Hey, it just happened that her opponent was a Li Clansman.
