Clan Competition went very smoothly. Minor Arena had the largest number of people, more than a hundred people, but most of them just came to increase their experience, so it only took three days to complete the six-to-three semi-finals and enter the finals.

Song Clan has been a clan for nearly five hundred years. The four generations of "immortal" monks have gradually withered away, and now there are only less than two hands left.

The five generations of the "Lu" generation and the sixth generation of the "Chang" generation have become the mainstay of Lineage, gradually entering the leadership core, while the seven generations of the "Qing" generation below them are also thriving.

Most of the underage monks in Lineage are from the "old" and "young" generations. The three people who entered the finals of this competition can be said to be the best of the best from these two generations.

Except for the outstanding Song Qingxi, the performance of the others was very impressive, even somewhat exceeding the psychological expectations of Song Changsheng, especially Song Qingxia who only had Qi Condensation Fifth Layer.

Song Changsheng originally thought that it would be good if she could enter the top ten, but he did not expect that the other party gave him another surprise, defeating a brother of Qi Condensation Sixth Layer to advance to the top three.

In addition to this dazzling dark horse, there is another person who has appeared beyond everyone's expectations, and that is Song Muqing, the son of Song Yulong. At the age of fifteen, he is already Qi Condensation Seventh Layer, and is Song Qingxi's biggest opponent in this battle.

Although Song Yulong and Song Yushi were both born in Ancestral Lineage, they were also born in the Song Clan Register. The same is true for Song Muqing. In essence, we are all one family.

So when Song Muqing proposed to participate, Song Changsheng agreed without thinking. On the one hand, it was to show Lineage's attitude, and on the other hand, it was to put some pressure on Song Qingxi. After all, she had won so easily along the way.

"Fifth Uncle, in your opinion, which one is stronger, Mu Qing or Qingxia?" Song Changsheng asked with a smile, looking at the two people standing opposite each other on the ring.

Song Luzhou leaned on the seat without any image, and said without hesitation after hearing this, "Although Mu Qing lacks actual combat experience, his cultivation level has the advantage after all. In the end, it depends on how far Qingxia can push him."

Regarding his analysis, Song Changsheng nodded silently. Song Qingxia was indeed a dark horse, but her starting point was too low after all. If she could enjoy the same resources as the other two, her cultivation level would definitely not be lower than theirs.

But gold will always shine, and Song Qingxia has proved it with her strength. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, she has entered the sight of the Song Clan's top management, and will definitely receive more resources in the future.

Everyone thought that Song Muqing was sure to win this battle, but as the person involved, he only felt a lot of pressure.

Song Qingxia's cultivation was at a disadvantage, so she gave up defense and focused on offense. Her moves were sharp and her angles were tricky, forcing Song Muqing into a panic.

But he was not stupid. He gradually gained a firm foothold in the ring and began to gradually take the initiative to attack. For a time, the situation on the battlefield began to shift, and he was finally defeated.

"You win." The defeated Song Qingxia showed no emotion on his face and bowed calmly, then turned and walked towards the ring.

Many people present felt sorry for her. After all, everyone could see that Song Qingxia was defeated by her own cultivation.

Song Qingxia naturally heard these discussions, but she didn't take it seriously. In her opinion, defeat is defeat, and cultivation is also the opponent's capital. There are not so many ifs in actual combat.

Failure will not make her fall, it will only make her stronger!

Song Muqing looked at the leaving figure of this heroic girl and scratched his head in embarrassment. In his opinion, if both parties had the same cultivation level, he would be the loser.

"Hey, they're already far away and they're still staring." Song Qingxi came to the ring at some unknown time. Seeing Song Muqing in a daze, he suddenly teased.

Song Muqing came back to his senses, his cheeks suddenly felt warm.

"Do you want to take a rest first?" Song Qingxi has been a spectator for so long. In fact, he can't wait. However, considering that Song Muqing has just fought, for the sake of fairness, he decided to let the other party rest first.

Although the battle just now was fierce, Song Muqing did not consume much. After hearing this, he calmed down and said, "No need, let's start now!"

"Then I'm welcome."

A moment later, Song Muqing fell on the ring like a dead pig.

Song Yushi in the stands couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and hit him. It was a completely one-sided hit. Song Muqing had no power to fight back in front of the girl and was defeated in an instant.

Originally, she did not agree with Song Muqing participating in the competition. After all, he had received a lot of resources since he was a child, and he was not on the same starting line as Song Clan Disciples.

This is indeed the case. Although these young disciples Song Clan are considered top-notch among the Foundation Establishment forces, they are far behind the disciples of the Golden Core Great Clan.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingxi came out halfway and defeated Song Muqing with overwhelming force. This also gave Song Yushi a better understanding of the Song Clan's background.

Song Changsheng was not surprised by this result. Song Qingxi's actual combat experience was much richer than Song Muqing's. There was no comparison at all. Being beaten was normal, but the process was too simple and rough, and the beating left a psychological shadow on the young man.

However, for young people, a little setback is nothing.

With Song Qingxi winning the championship, the competition of Minor Arena has officially ended. The next one is Adult Group, all composed of tribesmen over 18 years old and under 30 years old.

Song Changsheng found the shadows of many acquaintances among them, including Song Changying who went down the mountain with him to measure Spirit Root, and Song Changhu and Song Changxiu who participated in the Coming of Age Ceremony trial together...

Their qualifications can only be considered medium, and they are currently at the level of Qi Condensation Stage, Late Phase, so they cannot participate in the competition for [Foundation Establishment Pill]. However, the rewards of the competition are also very generous, which makes everyone very excited.

Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces, Song Changsheng felt filled with emotion. Unknowingly, ten years have passed and they have left too behind.

This scene lasted for two days, during which no one who could make Song Changsheng's eyes shine appeared. It could only be regarded as ordinary.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no talents among them. After all, the competition tests more of their actual combat abilities, and Hundred Arts talents will not have the opportunity to display themselves.

What everyone is most looking forward to is the last one. All the players are composed of Qi Condensation Great Perfection monks. Although there are only more than 20 people, it is far from comparable to the previous two games.

Wang Wanzhou, Li Siyang and others are all smart people. Seeing the age range and cultivation of these players, they already understand it in their hearts.

The two looked at each other, then Tacit Understanding looked away, looking at the ring below together, but each had something in their mind.

Song Clan and Wang Clan have been married for generations, and their friendship can be traced back hundreds of years. Among Ling Province Six Great Foundation Establishment Powers, the relationship between the two families has always been the closest.

Even when Song Clan was at his most depressed, Wang Clan still persisted in helping each other. It can be said that the two families have been tied together for a long time.

After years of recuperation, Song Clan's strength is returning to its peak. Today's competition means that Song Clan has obtained [Foundation Establishment Pill] from other channels, and its strength will inevitably increase greatly.

This is what Wang Clan likes to see. They want Song Clan to be as powerful as possible, Song Clan to be stronger, and Wang Clan to be stronger.

But for Li Siyang, the news is not so wonderful. Unlike Wang Clan, the indigenous Foundation Establishment force, Li Clan was single-handedly supported by the Song Clan.

Logically speaking, they should be more trusted by the Song Clan than Wang Clan, but after Song Yungui passed away, Li Clan, who was mentally rebellious, was directly out of the Song Clan's control.

Later, Earth Fire Sect gained momentum. In order to protect himself, Li Clan had to find his old club and asked for attachment, in order to frighten Earth Fire Sect.

But the 25th generation is the 25th generation, and their nature is hard to change.

A few years ago, when Song Changsheng was guarding Crimson Cloud Iron Ore Veins, he accidentally discovered a Wood Spirit Vein, which gave Song Clan an additional spirit medicine breeding base.

After these years of development, it not only meets the needs of the Song Clan, but also sells a large amount of surplus to external parties.

spirit medicine Trading is the foundation of the Li Clan. In doing so, Song Clan undoubtedly touched the foundation of the Li Clan. This made Li Clan very dissatisfied, and some Little Nine 9 arose in his heart.

In addition, Earth Fire Sect was in decline and eager to find allies. Both sides fell in love with each other. Heavenly Thunder hooked up with Earth Fire and hit it off. From this, Ling Province Six Great Foundation Establishment Powers, four families joined together.

Li Siyang naively believed that in this way the situation of Ling Province would be able to maintain balance again. Unexpectedly, Song Clan obtained [Foundation Establishment Pill] again, which was not a good thing for them.

Although the alliance with the Earth Fire Sect has not been made public, paper cannot cover the fire. Will Four-Clan Alliance really be able to control Song Clan and Song Xianming's grandson by then?

Thinking of this, Li Siyang couldn't help but cast his eyes on Song Changsheng beside him.

The next moment, Li Siyang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, because when he looked at Song Changsheng, Song Changsheng also looked at him with a half-smile, their eyes met, and Li Siyang felt his heart stop for a beat.

But he was the head of the family after all, so he quickly calmed down and forced a smile, "Young Clan Head Why are you looking at me like this?"

Song Changsheng saw Li Siyang's performance in his eyes. Although the other party hid it well, there was nothing to hide under his eyes.

This competition is related to [Foundation Establishment Pill]. Song Changsheng could have invited no outsiders to watch, but he still invited the Wang and Li families.

This move not only means to measure the muscles of the two families, but more importantly, it is to observe the reactions of the two families.

As a close ally, Wang Clan's performance makes Song Changsheng very satisfied, but Li Clan's attitude is a bit intriguing.

Wind Whisper Hall's spies have long been aware of some of the Li Clan's small actions in private, and Song Luyao also mentioned it to him, but it was just a guess after all. But at that moment, Song Changsheng had already determined in his heart that Li Clan, the young man, had betrayed Song Clan for the second time!

"Cousin, I see you don't look very good. Do you feel something is wrong?" Song Changsheng stared into Li Siyang's eyes and said lightly.

Li Siyang felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. Cold sweat soaked his clothes unconsciously. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Maybe it's because I've been thinking too much recently. It's okay. It's okay."

"That's it, cousin, please take care of your health. Song and Li are one piece of furniture, and I will rely on you more in the future." A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Song Changsheng's face.

Li Siyang felt a lightness all over his body. The heavy pressure had disappeared, and he was secretly relieved.

Although the exchange between the two was brief, it still caught the attention of Wang Wanzhou. His eyes turned around the two of them, thinking deeply in his heart...

Everything that happened in the audience was just a sideshow, and it didn't attract many people's attention at all. Most people's eyes were focused on the ring.

What is going on now is the third competition, and the two sides fighting are one old and one young.

The old man was in his fifties and his energy and blood were already a little low. However, he had rich experience in actual combat and was ruthless in his attacks. He suppressed and beat his opponent who was only in his twenties.

The young man was a fat man with short stature. He was extremely embarrassed by the old man's attack, and his round face was full of panic.

"Boy, you are no match for me. I won't hurt you if you admit defeat now." The old man said coldly.

Unlike others, the players in this last round had all received hints from Song Changsheng and understood that the ultimate goal today was to compete for [Foundation Establishment Pill], so everyone spared no effort. After the previous two games, they all saw blood.

The old man said this, in addition to threatening Little Fatty, he also had the intention of not wanting to lose both sides with the other party.

"You... you may not be able to accept me."

Little Fatty responded calmly, but the "panic" on his face betrayed him.

A stern look appeared on the old man's face, and attacks surged towards Little Fatty like a tide.

In the stands, Song Changsheng suddenly looked at Li Siyang and said, "Cousin, in your opinion, who can win this battle?"

Li Siyang had just been frightened by Song Changsheng. After hearing this, he carefully observed the situation on the field and said tentatively, "Although the two sides have similar cultivation levels, the old man's attacks are ruthless, and his moves go straight to the point. Law Artifact is also like an arm.

In contrast, his opponents are timid, Law Artifact is not outstanding, and his winning rate is slim. "

Song Changsheng A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he cast his eyes on the ring and said, "I have different opinions from my cousin. How about we make a bet?"

"Did I make a mistake?" Seeing Song Changsheng so confident, Li Siyang suddenly became vigilant. He observed carefully, but found nothing wrong.

This made him a little confused, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Since it is a gambling fight, is there a stake?"

Song Changsheng shook his head and said, "It's me, Song Clan Disciples, who is competing. It would be unfair for my cousin to place a bet. It's just entertainment."

Hearing this, Li Siyang felt a little relieved, and he said with certainty, "I think the old man has a sure chance of victory."

Song Changsheng A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, old man, your eyes are not very good.

In the eyes of everyone, Little Fatty was being chased around by the old man, and was unable to fight back, but Song Changsheng discovered the trick. Little Fatty was indeed no match for the old man.

But he has already laid a trap, leading his opponent into it step by step...
