Magic Martial Arts

As Su Chen left with his servants, his back was as tall and straight as a mountain pillar, revealing an unshakable and indomitable will.

Li Hao stood there in a daze, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't know whether he should be glad that Su Chen agreed to participate in the competition, or whether he should be worried about what might happen in the future. But in any case, he knew that Su Chen was no longer the same as before, and that man was even more terrifying.

"Is he really just a young man of eighteen or nineteen? The terrifying aura just now seemed to have only been felt by him when he faced the 'Great Elder'. Could it be... could it be that he is already a peerless strong man in the realm of human-human immortal... How... How is this possible?"

As if frightened by his own thoughts, Li Hao raised his head woodenly, his sight once again focused on the upright figure. For a moment, it looked like a stone sculpture or a wooden carving. Upon closer inspection, only the pupils at the bottom of the eyes were still shaking and trembling violently...

So two days later, at 3:30 pm, in a spacious martial arts arena somewhere in the secret place of the 'Li family', the 'main vein' and 'branch vein' visitors stood on the left and right sides of the square arena respectively. Above the arena was a slightly higher rectangular platform, on which thirteen figures sat in a neat row. They were the six 'main vein' masters and seven 'branch vein' masters of the 'Li family'.

However, the atmosphere at this moment was particularly strange. For example, on the 'main lineage' side, many people were whispering and discussing something. Their expressions were extremely solemn, as if they were full of worries about this fight.

On the other hand, the 'branch' side was in a relaxed and happy mood, with many people even raising their arms and pointing their fingers, pointing at one or several people in the 'main branch', so that there were always bursts of laughter and discussion from the 'branch' side. Their expressions were a little playful and mocking, as if they did not take this fight seriously at all, but rather it was more like a party.

"Look... look... what time is it now? We can't just sit there and do nothing!"

"Yeah, when will the competition start? I don't have that much free time to waste with those idiots from the 'main vein'!"

"Of course, the sooner we finish the competition, the sooner it will end... Did the people from the 'main lineage' think that they could win by dragging it out a little longer? How ridiculous... How ridiculous..."

.....

After hearing the complaints from the people in the branch, the leader of the branch, Wang Han, finally couldn't help but speak:

"Master Li, it's getting late. Can we start the duel now?"

At this time, Wang Han was sitting in the middle of the stands. He didn't even look at the current head of the family, Li Hao, who was sitting on the right. He spoke in a slightly impatient voice, as if expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.

"There's still a moment left before the 'competition' begins. Why rush?"

Li Hao looked at the branch leaders on his left who were discussing the duel and expressing their dissatisfaction. He was secretly anxious in his heart, but he remained calm on his face.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and confident:

"You'll know in a moment, don't worry."

However, although he tried to appear calm, deep down he was restless like a caged beast.

"Didn't they send someone to invite Su Chen a long time ago? Why hasn't he arrived yet... I'm so anxious... Oh no!"

Li Hao thought anxiously and couldn't help but clutch the armrest tightly.

His forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and it was unclear whether it was because of nervousness or anxiety.

He gritted his teeth secretly and prayed silently in his heart that Su Chen would arrive in time.

"Hope everything goes well..."

Li Hao whispered to himself.

At the same time, the various 'vein masters' of the 'main vein' were also anxious, but they had no way or ability to do anything at the moment, so they were all silent, but the worry in their eyes could not be removed. This 'competition' was of vital importance to their 'main vein', so they had to ensure that everything went according to plan.

“Okay… I’ll give you a moment, so what… Don’t blame me for not reminding you… If no one comes on stage by the time, please give up the position of the Li family’s patriarch as agreed. Of course, if you still want those useless children to continue to embarrass themselves, I won’t stop you. After all, the Li family actually has so many useless people, and as an elder, I still have a responsibility… Hahahaha!”

The wild laughter from Wang Han echoed throughout the martial arts training ground, making people feel a chill. Li Hao, who was standing next to him, was so angry that his face turned blue, and he clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails deep into his palms, as if he wanted to vent all his anger and unwillingness.

Of course he knew what the other party was hinting at, which was that the young people in their "main vein" were too weak and were simply a bunch of trash. Even Li Hao himself could not deny this. Since the first two duels, the young generation of their "main vein" has been in a slump, and in recent years, their "branch veins" have been constantly suppressing the "main vein" with the support of the "Wei family", resulting in the decline of talents, which is even worse.

Thinking of this, Li Hao could do nothing but grit his teeth. He secretly sighed in his heart, if he had chosen to protect his seventh sister Li Yuehua, perhaps the situation today would not be so bad.
