On the morning of the second day after the Elder Council meeting, Peach Blossom Manor's first grand Lineage tournament officially began. Thirty-two Lineage cultivators took part, including Liu Changxu's uncle Liu Shi'an, his aunt Liu Shilan, his younger sisters Liu Changxin and Liu Changxue, and his wife Li Zhenxin, all of whom had signed up.
Since this was an internal Lineage tournament, Liu Changxu and his father stepped in once again to prevent their relatives from being injured, each overseeing one arena.
The Family Grand Competition began with two rounds of elimination matches, after which the eight remaining contestants would compete for their rankings.
Since all the contestants belonged to the Liu Household, although the relatives traded blows in the Arena Tournament and spell attacks boomed in a lively uproar, everyone was clearly fighting with extreme caution, afraid of hurting their opponents. This left the spectators sorely disappointed.
Neither Liu Changxu nor his father had expected this situation, but on closer reflection, it was perfectly reasonable. After all, their opponents were blood relatives-uncles and nephews or brothers-who saw one another every day. Without any major conflict of interests, who would strike hard?
Thus, what should have been a proper Family Grand Competition became a stage for the contestants to show off their spells. The fighting was lively enough, but there was little power to harm anyone. Liu Changxu and his father did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Only when the third round, the ranking matches, began did things start to resemble a proper Lineage tournament.
Thanks to the rapid growth of the Lineage's strength over the years, the Liu Household's supply of cultivation resources had become far more abundant, and its members' strength had grown quite rapidly as well.
