"Father, I will definitely take first place in this Clan Competition." Hun Feng stepped forward, speaking spiritedly.
He was now a Five-star Dou Emperor. Among the younger generation, his strength and cultivation were the highest.
Hun Feng was highly confident that he would claim this Clan Competition for himself.
"We, too, will certainly not disappoint Clan Head's expectations." Soul Jade and Hun Huan'er came back to their senses and gave their assurances.
The rewards for the Clan Competition were actually so generous. No matter what, they had to give it their all. If they missed this opportunity, obtaining Lord Nihility's Sub-Flame again would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.
"Mm."
"Go on, then." Soul Emperor nodded slightly and waved them away.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Soul Emperor's words, Hun Feng and the other two did not hesitate and respectfully left the study.
Watching the three of them depart, Soul Emperor murmured, "The results of these years of effort will be seen in a few days. I hope you won't disappoint me."
The trio of Hun Feng, who had left the study.
Hun Feng wore white robes, handsome and extraordinary. Two years had helped this young man mature considerably.
A faint smile rested on Hun Feng's lips, giving him a warm and gentle air. Yet that slight smile on his face thoroughly betrayed his confidence.
His confidence in the upcoming Hun Clan Competition.
To Hun Feng's right stood Soul Jade, dressed in black robes. He was likewise remarkably handsome, holding a folding fan like a refined young master.
There was no expression on his face, but his brisk, wind-swift steps said it all.
He was also brimming with confidence for this competition. First place might not be his, but second place? Soul Jade had that locked down.
As for first place?
He had considered it while in the study, but now that he had left, he had immediately come to his senses.
With Hun Feng pressing down on him, could he take first place? Unrealistic. So he could only settle for second.
Thinking that he would be able to possess Lord Nihility's Sub-Flame, Soul Jade felt delighted.
Hun Huan'er wore a green robe. The once adorable little girl had fully blossomed after two years.
She already possessed a beauty capable of toppling cities, and in a few more years, she would become the "goddess" coveted by the Hun Clan's younger generation.
High above all others, untouched by worldly affairs.
She had now completely recovered from the shock she had suffered in the study. As a girl, and one raised within the Hun Clan, her thoughts were especially meticulous.
She said calmly, "Hun Feng, Soul Jade, you two seem extremely confident about this Clan Competition."
Hun Feng was the first to smile. "Of course, Huan'er. If I call myself invincible throughout the Hun Clan, who would dare claim they cannot be defeated?"
"I, Hun Feng, am taking first place in this Clan Competition."
Soul Jade refused to be outdone. "First place is beyond my reach, but second place? I, Soul Jade, have it in the bag."
"So, Huan'er, I can't yield to you in this Clan Competition." As he finished speaking, Soul Jade wore an apologetic expression.
Under normal circumstances, he might have given way to Hun Huan'er, since he did harbor some affection for her.
But this Clan Competition was of great importance to Soul Jade. Therefore, he could not give way.
"So after all that, you two haven't understood Clan Head's meaning at all." Upon hearing them, Hun Huan'er's delicate little face instantly darkened.
She stopped walking and stood before Soul Jade and Hun Feng. Hun Feng and Soul Jade also halted and looked at Hun Huan'er.
Hun Feng said, "Huan'er, what do you mean? Does Father have some other intention?"
"Yeah, Huan'er. Tell us, what does Clan Head mean?" Soul Jade chimed in.
Hun Huan'er rolled her eyes at the two of them. "Have you forgotten about Hun Xiu?"
Did these two trade their intelligence for their Divine Grade Bloodlines? If they had carefully considered Clan Head's words, they would have noticed the problem.
These two are acting as if victory is already theirs, so confident in themselves. I really don't understand where they got that confidence. Who gave it to them? Do they really think Hun Xiu has been wasting away these past two years?
Hun Huan'er would never forget that proud, solitary figure, who had stunned everyone at the bloodline activation ceremony.
He had left a profound impression in her heart.
"Hun Xiu..."
The moment Hun Feng and Soul Jade heard Hun Huan'er's words, their expressions became somewhat ugly.
At that moment, their confidence and their belief in their own invincibility completely came crashing down.
Because of one person. That person was none other than Hun Xiu.
A man who surpassed them, whose bloodline was even more powerful than theirs.
Now that the two of them carefully recalled Clan Head's—Father's—words in the study, there indeed seemed to be another meaning hidden within them.
Looking at the silent pair, Hun Huan'er asked, "Are you still confident now?"
"I..."
Hun Feng and Soul Jade both hesitated, words stuck in their throats that they simply could not voice.
When facing that monstrous genius, that fellow with the Transcendent Divine Bloodline, they truly did not know what to do.
To put it bluntly, they had no idea just how far Hun Xiu's strength had progressed over the past two years.
Back then, they had merely been Dou Masters, while Hun Xiu had already been a Dou Ling. Two years had passed.
Their strength had improved tremendously, but that "monster," Hun Xiu, could not possibly have remained stagnant.
After all, with his Transcendent Divine Bloodline and the clan's Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and cultivation resources, even a pig would not remain stagnant—let alone Hun Xiu.
Hun Huan'er suggested, "Hun Feng, why don't you go and find out how strong Hun Xiu is now?"
Her beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Hun Feng. Hearing Hun Huan'er's suggestion, Soul Jade immediately agreed. "Hun Feng, that's a good idea."
"Why don't you go?" Hun Feng rolled his eyes at Soul Jade.
Soul Jade spread his hands. "Hun Xiu isn't my big brother. I don't have any reason to go see him."
"My relationship with him isn't good," Hun Feng refused.
Although Hun Xiu was his big brother, their relationship was not good. Rather than saying it was poor, it would be more accurate to say they had never interacted since childhood, apart from that one encounter two years ago.
During that encounter, he had utterly humiliated himself.
Over the past two years, they had each focused on cultivation and had not kept in touch. Hun Feng still held a grudge over what had happened two years ago.
He had been cultivating diligently all along, preparing to regain his dignity. He also wanted to quietly rise above the rest, then stun everyone in the end.
None of the three wanted to go find Hun Xiu, yet they wanted to know how strong he had become.
"Big Brother, Big Sister, are you going to find Brother Hun Xiu?"
The three were at a loss, but just then, a crisp voice rang out, instantly letting them see hope once more.
