Zu An was speechless, knowing she was referring to the time she tricked Mei Hua Thirteen at the school gate. Did this girl have some misunderstanding about the word "making money"?
The second match began soon, with Deng Zhaoke of the Chu family facing off against Chu Qing of the Yuan family!
As a result of his seemingly fierce actions, he ultimately failed even faster than Hong Xingying.
The Chu family has lost two matches in a row!
Everyone started whispering among themselves, and the smaller families gradually sensed something was amiss. Something was wrong. In the past, the Chu family would often win against the Yuan family, sometimes even finishing the competition in just 5 or 6 matches. But today, they lost the first two matches in a row. Was the world about to change in Mingyue City?
Some clever people have already begun to think: the Yuan family is far inferior to the Chu family in terms of both rank and background. How come they were able to defeat the Chu family's experts by sending out two unknown people this time?
At this moment, the Chu couple also frowned deeply. Obviously, losing two games in a row had greatly exceeded their expectations, and today might be a bit troublesome.
Chu Chuyan also had a frosty expression. She couldn't help but glance at her younger sister and Zu An, who were chatting idly at the end of the seats. Seeing their carefree appearance, she felt a tightness in her heart. She had thought that they were just here to make a show of things, but now it seemed that they might have to go on stage.
No, this must not be allowed to happen!
Not to mention that Zu'an is powerless, even his younger sister is only at the third rank, which is the lowest level of cultivation on this arena. Moreover, she is usually very playful and has not practiced her combat skills properly. She is definitely not reliable in a real fight. You should know that the weakest person on this arena is at the middle level of the third rank.
On stage, Qin Wanru couldn't help but ask, "Husband, we won't lose the next match either, will we?"
“No,” Chu Zhongtian said in a deep voice, “the next match is Yue Shan.”
Upon hearing Yue Shan's name, Qin Wanru breathed a sigh of relief. Yue Shan was the captain of the Chu family's guards and was also in charge of training the Red Robe Army. He was a calm and reliable person, and most importantly, his cultivation had reached the peak of the fifth rank. Originally, with his current status, he would not have bothered to participate in such a family competition. It was mainly because the Wu family was involved today that he was included on the list for insurance. Now, she thought it was fortunate that she was careful back then, otherwise, she might have really been in trouble today.
As expected, Yue Shan faced off against a member of the Yuan family and easily won, drawing cheers from the Chu family banquet.
Chu Chuyan, however, frowned slightly. The best-case scenario was that Yue Shan would take care of one of the Yuan family's top experts, making things much easier for the others. But this time, the opponent's cultivation level was lower than the previous two rounds, giving her the feeling of being outmatched by their inferior opponents.
The fourth match was between Chu Yucheng of the Chu family and Yuan Bao of the Yuan family.
Although Chu Yucheng looked like a cute little chubby boy, he was incredibly fierce on the stage, charging around like a small tank and knocking his opponent off the stage in no time.
The fifth match was between Chu Hongcai of the Chu family and Yuan Ya of the Yuan family.
Chu Hongcai's swordsmanship was sharp and decisive, and he quickly routed Yuan Ya's forces, forcing Yuan Ya to admit defeat.
After the Chu family won three consecutive matches, the audience in the training ground were relieved. That's how it should be. The Chu family is indeed the undisputed overlord of Bright Moon City.
Only Chu Chuyan's brows furrowed with worry, because the Chu family's victories were against members of the Yuan family. Since every family's direct descendants had to participate, the Yuan family couldn't have the Wu family replace them in this regard.
It's obvious that these Yuan family disciples are much weaker than the contestants from the previous two rounds, while our side has sent out almost the strongest members of the Chu family. Is it a coincidence or something else...?
As expected, the worst fears came true: the Chu family lost the sixth match.
3-3 tie!
In the seventh match, Chu Chuyan personally instructed her contestant Lan Likang (a minor character provided by a reader named "Not As Good As You"—speaking of which, this ID...) to cheer him on. There was no other way; if he also lost, even if she won, the final outcome would depend on her sister and Zu'an's two rounds, and then the Chu family would be finished.
Chu Chuyan held a high position in the Chu family and was regarded as a goddess by all the younger generation. With her personal encouragement, Lan Likang was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his combat power soared to 120%.
Unfortunately, the cultivator sent by the Yuan family was a level higher than him, forcing him to retreat step by step.
Finally, remembering Miss Chu's expectations, Lan Likang gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He unleashed his inner strength, exchanging injury for injury, and finally fell off the stage with his opponent in his arms.
The seventh match ended in a draw!
Gasps of astonishment filled the training ground. The competition between the two families had never been so intense before, especially the seventh match, which was a bloody and brutal battle, resembling a carnage on a battlefield, leaving the onlookers horrified.
Even the bigwigs on the stage changed their expressions slightly. The fight had reached this point, and both sides were already furious. They couldn't help but be on high alert to avoid any casualties later.
At this moment, Chu Zhongtian, together with the manor's physician, began to treat Lan Likang's rampant vital energy and wounds. Lan Likang, however, looked at Chu Chuyan with tears in his eyes and a guilty expression: "Miss, I'm sorry, I couldn't win."
Chu Chuyan said softly, "The opponent's cultivation is higher than yours, and you were still able to fight him to a draw. You've done a great job. Focus on recovering from your injuries and don't think about anything else. Leave the rest to us."
Next, it was her turn to take the stage. Her opponent was Di Wu from the Yuan family, a pale-faced young man.
