Though it was called an exchange of insights and experience, everyone knew what it really was: a contest to see whether the main family or the branch families were stronger. If the branch families proved stronger, they would surpass the main family by a notch and would inevitably be eagerly welcomed by the main family. If the main family proved stronger, its ruling status would remain as steady as ever, unchanged.
The best way to determine who was stronger was naturally through arena battles.
Likewise, the first to compete were martial artists with less than one hundred and twenty years of martial cultivation.
As the referee, Bai Luosheng slowly said, "The senior martial artists of the main family, step forward first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the main family's martial artists were already prepared.
"Use the Life Blood Disk to verify your ages!" Bai Luosheng said.
This was merely to let everyone know that the main family had not cheated or engaged in any underhanded tricks. Their chosen contestants, just like those of the branch families, all had fewer than one hundred and twenty years of martial cultivation.
The main family had clearly not tampered with this matter or done anything that could not bear the light of day. All thirty-two elite martial artists selected by the main family had less than one hundred and twenty years of martial cultivation.
That was precisely why the branch family members were even more shocked. The main family's martial artists were simply too strong. In terms of pure hard power, they could practically crush the forces of every branch. Especially that martial artist standing there and radiating the aura of the Heavenly Martial Realm—it sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Of course, having come this far, no one would shrink back.
