Everyone is focused on the stage.
Murong Yuchen glances around the room and adds, "My second daughter's birthday is today. As a result, I will be announcing the fiance of my eldest son and second daughter."
At the gathering, there is a sudden uproar. Everyone starts looking in a specific direction.
Some people begin to argue amongst themselves. "It will be one of the eleven heirs. So who is it? " The question was raised by one of the attendees.
"It will be a Xu or Long family successor. I heard Young Master Long was fascinated with Princess Murong, and the Xu and Murong families had a close relationship. " One of the elders offers his prediction.
"I believe it's Young Master Yang." Another elder gives his prediction.
In the direction where everyone was looking, there were eleven young people. Ning Haoran and Qin Nan were also present with them. Everyone was looking at each other.
"There are eleven families at the top of the ladder in the upper eastern region. The eastern region is divided into four parts, which are: the upper, south, east, and west eastern regions. " Art learns about the eastern region from Ning Xiuying.
"The eleven families are Yang, Long, Murong, Situ, Xu, Mu, Qin, Huang, Su, Ning, and Chen. These families rule over the upper part of the eastern region. " Ning Xiuying adds more details about the eastern region.
"Oh...! There are more like them in the eastern region. "Art asks Ning Xiuying.
"As far as I know, the southeastern region is the strongest among the four regions. The southeastern region has produced many prodigies in the last twenty years. They also have four seats out of eleven representatives from the eastern region." Ning Xiuying responds to Art.
"Ahem... My son's fiancee is the Su family's second daughter, Su He, and my daughter's fiancee is Art Vivian!" Murong Yuchen announces the engagement of his son and daughter. He signals to Art and Su He to come up on stage.
Art walks onto the stage with Amelia, Ning Xiuying, and Su He.
Everyone was staring at Amelia as she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen in their lives. Many people and girls were looking at Art.
"He is the one who bought that bitch." Ning Haoran stares at Art with murderous intent.
Long Deming, the heir of the Long family, and Yang Ming, the heir of the Yang family, look at Art deeply. Both of them are good-looking, but compared to Art, they pale in comparison.
Murong Qiuyue walks towards Art and takes his hand to stand beside him. Amelia let her be with him and accompanied Ning Xiuying with her.
Every youngster approached Amelia. Even some middle-aged people were also approaching her. She did not spare a glance and continued to talk with Ning Xiuying. Her manner was cold and aloof towards others. Some of the people could not get near her. Some were disheartened as a result.
"I would like to thank everyone for attending today's party. As for entertainment, there would be a small friendly competition. Anyone can participate as long as they are not older than twenty years. I would remind you that this is a friendly spar and no one is allowed to go against the rules of the competition. There is a reward also for first and second place. " Murong Yuchen looks towards the small group of middle-aged people and nods his head.
"The rules of this competition are simple. Everyone who wants to participate needs to go towards the box that is present near table no. 3. They can start taking their tokens. The number of tokens is limited. There are only 32 tokens in it. Then everyone will spar with each other to decide the winner. Those who want to participate can start collecting the tokens now. One person can take only one token. You have half an hour to take the token." After saying everything, Murong Yuchen comes down and goes towards the group of middle-aged people at table No. 1.
Art looks towards the box at table No. 3, smiles, and shakes his head. He walks towards Amelia and Xiuying, with Qiuyue.
Amelia had already sat down at table No. 2 with Xiuying sitting beside her. Art sits beside Amelia and Murong Qiuyue. Murong Qiuyue looks towards Art, wanting to ask something, but decides not to ask. Art watches her but doesn't say anything. Situ Mei Xing joins them with Murong Yichen and Su He. They have a brief talk, and Murong Yichen leaves them, saying he needs to attend to something.
Art asks Murong Qiuyue, "Why are you not participating in the competition?"
"Why did you smile and shake your head?" Qiuyue counters his question.
"Oh, I was just seeing the method of the elders. It was already decided by all the eleven heads to hold the competition, and your brother also knew about it from the beginning. The reward will also be good. There was a force near the box up to a radius of 13 meters. You need to have some ability to pass through the force and take the token. By my guess, I think someone needs to be in the low-green level to pass through it and take the token. Am I right, Amelia? " Art answers her and looks at Amelia.
"Yes, more or less. But you need to be in Super-green to cross the level and take the token. You need to work on your origin energy or you will make a mistake like this. You need to be a prodigy born once in a century to be able to pass that field at the low-green level. I don't think everyone here is on that level. Except for Murong Qiuyue and Ning Xiuying, there are only seven people here. Su He has a chance, but she is in the super-yellow stage. " Amelia says this continues to eat her food.
"Now, how about you answer my question now?" Art takes her spoon, eats from it, and returns it to her.
Murong Qiuyue blushes at the action of Art, while Amelia rolls her eyes and ignores him.
"I will participate, but you need to also participate and win the prize for me." Murong Qiuyue tells Art.
"Well, if I win, then the plans of your father will be disrupted." Art says to Qiuyue.
"I don't care about it. You need to participate and win it for me. Come on, Sis Xiuying, we will take the token. " Qiuyue says goodbye to Art and leaves the table with Xiuying.
Art helplessly smiles. Situ Mei Xing looks towards Art with a complicated expression. Amelia looks at her and says, "You can also take the token, but you are suffering from an injury, which is why I did not take your name. I advise you to take a rest and not participate. "
"How do you know I have an injury?" Situ Mei Xing asks Amelia.
"Well, your origin energy is not stable, so anyone above silver level can tell about it," Amelia says to her. Art was astonished, as he was not able to sense her unstable origin energy.
Amelia looks towards Art and says, "You need to work on your origin energy as you are neglecting it. It is also very crucial for building a better foundation. I will also participate in this competition. I will suppress my level at the super-blue stage and participate. Let's see if you have improved. "
"Likewise!" Art replies to her.
'I need to solidify my origin energy and work on it.' Art thinks about it further, and a smile crosses his face.
Art and Amelia go towards the box and see that about fourteen tokens have been taken. By the time they wait for their turn, twenty-six tokens have been taken. Amelia and Art easily walk to the box and take their tokens. Art's token has the number 11, while Amelia's has four.
All the tokens have been taken, and the last token was taken by Su He with great difficulty.
-
"I need to say the Ning family is really growing. Your heir was not able to take the token from the box, while others were. You also banished Ning Xiuying and forced her to be auctioned in the auction. Look, now only Ning Xiuying can participate in this competition from your family. " Situ Ling says to Ning Jan, Situ Ling is the middle-aged man who was monitoring Art at the time of the auction.
"Your family also has only two people participating in the competition." Ning Jan replies to him.
"Every major family has almost the same number of people, and your family has none. Yang and the Long family have three each, which is the most of any family. " Situ Ling tells Ning Jan with a smile on his face.
Everyone at the table looks towards Ning Jan and mocks him silently while saying nothing.
"Now, let's calm down. Head Murong, tell us about your son-in-law. " Chen Yuze asks Murong Yuchen. He shifts everyone's attention towards Murong Yuchen.
'This old dog. Let's see if you can keep smiling at the competition. ' Situ Ling sneers at Chen Yuze but doesn't say it aloud.
"He is from a faraway place, and this engagement was decided by the head family. I have no say in it. As for his identity, I don't have enough authority to reveal it to you. " Murong Yuchen answers Chen Yuze.
Everyone at the table was surprised at the strange response by Murong Yuchen. But everyone can make out that his son-in-law is not someone they can mess with from his words.
Yang Wei messages someone from his phone. Yang Wei is the current head of the Yang family on earth. He is similar to Murong Yuchen, with sharp eyes.
At the same time, Yang Ming receives a message. Yang Ming is the heir of the Yang family. Yang Ming sees the message and frowns.
Ning Haoran was particularly in bad shape as he felt humiliated as he was the only one who did not pass the box test out of everyone. Even Ye Tian and Lu Chen, from smaller families, have passed. He was continuously mocked by Murong Yichen and Situ Zhiming.
Murong Yuchen stands up from his place and goes to the stage.
"Now, everyone who has a token, congratulations. The competition will take place on the combat ground, which is present behind this stage. The battle will start with token number 1. Those who have token number 1 will go to the stage. Instructor Naomi will oversee the battle and tell you about the rules for the battle. I hope Instructor Naomi doesn't mind being the referee! " Murong Yuchen says to everyone.
A lady whose beauty is no less than Amelia's enters the stage with a veil on her face, but anyone can tell that she is beautiful with a glance.
"No problem, Head Murong." Instructor Naomi says politely.
Everyone looks at Naomi and starts cheering.
"Those who have token number 1, please enter the combat ground." Instructor Naomi, says aloud. Even her voice is that of a goddess.
