"Since you've already agreed on the rules of the competition, we elders will not interfere. Compete without worry. But let me make this clear first: this is a competition, not a fight to the death. Show mercy and do not take lives. Otherwise, no matter who wins in the end, I will personally kill the offender. Do you understand?"

At that moment, Great Elder Yun Ling stepped forward. As a highly authoritative elder, he had to take charge at a time like this. He also understood that some things were not appropriate for the Sect Master to say, so he would take on the role of the villain.

"Of course we understand. We ask only that the Great Elder remain fair and impartial."

Mo Wu and the members of the other families clasped their fists as they spoke, their tone exceedingly polite. The meaning behind their words was obvious: they hoped the Great Elder would not show favoritism.

"Uncle Yun Ling, I heard you loud and clear. And during the competition, don't you dare call a halt on your own. This battle has to be fought to our hearts' content, or we won't have any fun."

Yun Shenwei turned and winked at the Great Elder, making his meaning perfectly clear.

"That brat really does have confidence. Fine. Since he's so sure of himself, I'll let him have his fun."

Great Elder Yun Ling blinked, inwardly furious, but he did not show it. Instead, he calmly said, "Then take your positions. This will be a melee. You may fight however you wish, so long as no one dies."

After saying that, Great Elder Yun Ling waved his hand. A powerful fluctuation instantly enveloped the family disciples who had leaped onto the square, along with Yun Shenwei.

"Bastard, do you dare fight me one-on-one? I'll challenge you first. If I lose, the others can take my place anytime."

Killing intent filled Mo Wu's eyes as he stepped forward. He intended to be the first to challenge Yun Shenwei, both for himself and for his family. After all, the first person to eat the crab would always be remembered. Being second or third would mean nothing.

Sure enough, after he took the lead and said those words, the elders of his family felt immensely proud. The elders of the other families also offered congratulations, clearly believing that the Mo Family youth was truly remarkable and courageous.

"That guy beat us to it. Forget it, let's watch from behind for now. We'll strike when it's time. We came here to gang up on him anyway; this is just courtesy before force, so no one can accuse us of bullying Yun Shenwei."

The disciples of the other families exchanged glances, and one of them said this. The implication was self-evident.

"Give me a break. Stop putting on airs and get moving. Don't drag this out. I already said you could all come at me together, so why are you still talking about courtesy before force? Do you really think I'm here playing with you?"

Yun Shenwei laughed loudly. As he spoke, his body flashed, and he instantly appeared before one of the youths. Then he swung his hand.

Slap!

A crisp slap echoed through the area. The youth was sent flying, his teeth scattering across the ground as he collapsed unconscious.

"With strength like that, you still want to talk about courtesy before force? Where does that confidence come from? Is this all you family disciples can do? I think you'd better stop competing, or I'll feel like I'm bullying a pack of wild animals."

After doing all that, Yun Shenwei calmly dusted off his hands and waved to his supporters in the distance. His eyes brimmed with confidence. After all, his strength was there for all to see—he was the number one member of the Yun Lan Sect's younger generation.

"Stop wasting words on him! Attack together! If this continues and he picks us off one by one, we'll have no chance. Where will we put our faces then? Where will our families put theirs?"

These people were furious, their eyes filled with killing intent. One after another, they summoned their weapons and launched their strongest attacks to surround and crush him.

"Ah, I just love seeing those furious expressions on your faces when you can't do anything to me. Hahaha!"

Yun Shenwei's face was full of delight, because as these people grew angry, he gained quite a few Hate Points. With a thought, time instantly stopped, and he exchanged for several Dou Qi Bombs in the Multiverse Shop.

"I've seen before that these Dou Qi Bombs are incredibly powerful and easy to use. I wonder if they can produce some special results this time?"

After completing the exchange in the Multiverse Shop, Yun Shenwei withdrew. Time resumed, and as he watched the people charging toward him, he casually tossed out two Dou Qi Bombs.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Deafening explosions rang out across the area. Some of those who had rushed forward the fastest were blasted away on the spot, their bodies torn and bloody. By the time they hit the ground, they were barely breathing.

"Hong Er!"

"Jia Xie..."

"Mo Yuan!"

Seeing this, the elders of the unconscious youths sprang to their feet in shock. The rules restrained them, so they could not act. They could only clench their fists and glare viciously at Yun Shenwei, the culprit.

"If my child truly dies, you must give us an explanation."

One family elder threw out this threat. It felt as though his heart were bleeding, because his family's junior had every bone in his body shattered and had nearly been beaten into a lump of flesh.

"Ah, it's fine. I know how to hold back. They won't die, they won't die. As long as they still have a breath left, I can cure them all. I may not be good at much, but I always keep my word. If I can't do it, I'll cut off my head and give it to you."

Yun Shenwei waved his hand, feeling another large batch of Hate Points arrive. He was extremely pleased. In his view, the items in the Multiverse Shop were all extraordinary. As long as he had not killed anyone outright, he was certain that he could exchange for medicine in the Multiverse Shop at any time and save them.

So no matter how he looked at it, he was making a profit.

"Everyone, use your full strength. Don't hold back your hidden methods anymore. If we can't even defeat him here, what meaning is there in participating in the later competition?"

Mo Wu clearly knew that dragging this out any longer would do them no good. He immediately used his hidden method, revealing the arm that had been altered with magical beast parts.

At the same time, the youths of the other families followed suit and no longer concealed their methods.
