A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Inside the Chen family residence, in the Chen Ming Mansion.

"Second level of enlightenment!"

Chen Ming had changed his usual dejected demeanor; with his long hair flowing down his shoulders, he looked like a spirited and passionate young man.

His injuries completely disappeared, healed entirely by a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill.

The aura of the second level of enlightenment lingered around Chen Ming.

Taking a deep breath, the air felt much fresher.

"In today's family competition, who can stop this young master!"

Chen Ming kicked open the door and walked towards the Chen family's martial arts arena.

At this moment, at the Chen family's martial arts training ground, Chen Zhaowu and Gao Fu were warmly entertaining several seemingly extraordinary middle-aged men.

Behind him were seven or eight young men with youthful faces, but who exuded a sunny confidence and an unwillingness to admit defeat.

"Brother Chen, I'm not trying to be mean, but with the grotesque and ugly young generation of your Chen family, is there even a need for a competition?"

"So far, among the younger generation of the Chen family, only your good son Chen Ming has stepped into the Enlightenment Realm."

"A Dao Enlightenment Realm cultivator fighting a Body Tempering Realm cultivator? What's the point of this competition? Why don't we just announce that Chen Ming is the champion?"

These few words of merciless sarcasm reached the ears of Chen Zhaowu and Gao Fu, and their expressions immediately froze.

The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a light blue robe and holding a bone fan.

The long scar on his face was enough to send chills down anyone's spine, stretching from his left eye socket all the way to the corner of his mouth.

It occasionally exuded the aura of a Spirit Mansion Realm expert, as if it were a show of force or a provocation.

This man, named Ye Hongyi, is the head of the Ye family, one of the three major families in Jiangcheng, along with the Chen and Lin families.

Chen Zhaowu's lips twitched; he wanted to retort, but couldn't.

The situation in the Chen family is indeed like this, with the younger generation all stuck at the Body Tempering Realm.

They haven't even touched the threshold of accessing the source energy.

Only his son, Chen Ming, was exceptionally intelligent and achieved enlightenment.

In contrast, Ye Heng, the eldest son of the Ye family, had already broken through to the third level of enlightenment some time ago.

Besides Ye Heng, two other younger members of the Ye family have also reached the Enlightenment Realm.

In terms of overall strength among the younger generation of the family, the Chen family is indeed inferior to the Ye family.

Chen Zhaowu hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to say, "Brother Ye's words are as grating as ever!"

"Several members of my Chen family have already reached the peak of body tempering. With a little guidance, they will soon be able to draw the source into their bodies and successfully reach the Enlightenment Realm."

"Brother Ye, please keep an eye on good news from my Chen family."

Ye Hongyi smiled dismissively and said to Ye Heng beside him, "Little Heng, I wonder if I will live to hear the good news your Uncle Chen has to say."

"From now on, you must keep a close eye on things for your father. If that day ever comes, remember to come and tell your father."

Seeing his father's malicious expression, Ye Heng immediately knew what he was up to.

He quickly replied, "Father, I will do my best to hold on until that day!"

Ye Hongyi nodded in satisfaction, "I'm pleased that you have this intention."

He turned to Chen Zhaowu and said, "Brother Chen, your Chen family must work hard and try not to let my son and I miss out."

Chen Zhaowu's lips twitched incessantly; his good mood had been ruined early in the morning by Scarface Ye.

"Please take a seat, Brother Ye, and wait for the start of the Chen family's grand competition."

Ye Hongyi noticed a hint of anger in Chen Zhaowu's eyes.

The desired effect was achieved, and the aggressive approach was no longer necessary.

He clasped his hands in a fist and said politely, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Chen to entertain me today."

Lin Xingwei, the head of the Lin family.

He disdained to argue with Ye Hongyi over a few words; he was just there to go through the motions.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Zhaowu, he led the Chen family members to sit quietly in the seats of honor, waiting for the Chen family competition to begin.

Within half an hour, all the personnel had arrived.

Sitting directly in front of the Chen family's martial arts arena were Chen Zhaowu and a group of core members of the Chen family.

To the left and right are the Lin family and the Ye family, respectively.

On the other side of the Chen family's martial arts arena, those seated were all prominent figures in Jiangcheng.

Each one of them is at least a powerful expert at the Spirit Mansion Realm.

The branch manager of Jiangcheng Auction House was among them.

Chen Ming sat beside Chen Zhaowu and Gao Fu, his expression indifferent, maintaining the icy demeanor unique to the eldest son of the Chen family.

Chen Yue and his group blended into the crowd and were inconspicuous at first glance.

"Young Master, seeing Chen Ming's despicable face makes me angry."

"You, go and kill Chen Ming."

Xiao Xuan pointed at Su Yi and gave the order.

Su Yi looked left and right, making sure Xiao Xuan was referring to her, and said somewhat uncertainly, "Me...me?"

"Young Master, may I?" Su Yi blinked and looked at Chen Yue.

Chen Yue patted him on the shoulder, encouraging him, "You can do it, go and take down Chen Ming."

"Roger that!"

Su Yi, who was standing at his feet, grabbed a brick and was about to rush forward.

Chen Yue grabbed him and said, "Silly boy, I was just kidding. You actually dared to go for it?"

Su Yi chuckled foolishly, "What if it really works out?"

Just then, a series of gong sounds rang out.

A middle-aged man slowly walked onto the martial arts stage in full view of the crowd.

He nodded to Chen Zhaowu in front of him, then shouted loudly, "The Chen Family Grand Competition officially begins!"

"Please come up to the stage, Chen family's junior group contestants!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen seven- or eight-year-old members of the Chen family jumped onto the martial arts stage.

The competition format for the junior group is quite different from that for the teenager group.

In the junior group, opponents are determined by drawing lots, and the champion is finally determined after multiple rounds of competition.

The junior group is a free-for-all; whoever is the last one standing on the stage will be the champion of the junior group in this competition.

To sign up for the junior group competition, one must either be truly exceptionally talented or possess an inexplicable amount of courage.

Clearly, among these twelve, there are both the former and the latter.

Chen Yue thought to himself, "Teacher Qingxuan, there's going to be a good show today."

A wisp of green mist drifted away, and Qingxuan's figure appeared before Chen Yue.

Before them lay the enormous Chen family martial arts arena, with its bustling crowd.

Qingxuan asked softly, "Is this... a martial arts competition?"

Chen Yue smiled and said, "Teacher Qingxuan, today is the grand competition of my Chen family. How about it? Isn't it exciting enough?"

Qingxuan nodded. "It's lively, but the visibility is poor. I'll go up and take a look."

Qingxuan flew into the air, walking on air, looking down at the crowd below.

Chen Yue looked up and saw Teacher Qingxuan sitting leisurely in mid-air, resting his cheek on his hand, muttering under his breath, "Teacher really knows how to enjoy life."

Chen Yue looked ahead again and sighed.

With countless heads around, you have to stand on tiptoe to get a clear view of the situation on the training ground.

A dozen or so children from the Chen family were rubbing their hands together on the stage, preparing for battle.

Although they are young, each of them has a burning fighting spirit.

The middle-aged man served as the referee in this case.

Once everyone had arrived, the announcement was made on the spot.

"The Chen Family Grand Competition officially begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the younger generation of the Chen family swarmed forward and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and the cheers and encouragement from the people of Jiangcheng further fueled the fighting spirit of the younger generation on stage.

They were fighting so fiercely that it was impossible to tell who was who.

But everyone knew in their hearts that they hadn't fallen yet.
