Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 639 - 614: Clan Competition

"Tai Xu!"

The Copper Medicine City Lord, burning with anger, turned to Wang Xu, "Regardless of victory or defeat this time, I only hope you can give it your all, not just for my Copper Medicine Thunder Roar's line, but for my fallen subordinates and my deceased wife!"

Saying this, the Copper Medicine City Lord was already choked up, his eyes bloodshot.

Copper Medicine Yerong covered her small mouth in shock. She had never seen her iron-strong father shed tears, especially not in front of everyone.

"Father-in-law, I will." Wang Xu nodded.

He knew the Copper Medicine City Lord had no more retreats. For this bet, he had placed all his hopes on Wang Xu.

Watching the Copper Medicine City Lord return to his room, all eyes from Copper Medicine Yerong and others gathered on Wang Xu.

"Tai Xu..." Copper Medicine Yerong pressed her thin lips, her eyes pleading, "You absolutely must defeat that Copper Medicine Dragon Charging Pill! I don't want to become a slave to someone like that!"

"Tai Xu, all our fathers' hatred rests on you!" the others also pleaded.

These were the descendants of the Copper Medicine City Lord's loyal subordinates from the past. To allow them to witness this revenge personally, the Copper Medicine City Lord had brought them all along.

"Rest assured, I will not disappoint you." Wang Xu nodded seriously.

Over the years, Wang Xu had learned the Copper Medicine City Lord's past hatred clearly.

Back when the Copper Medicine City Lord was still in the main clan, he was talented and received attention from the high-ups, with the hope of inheriting the Elder position in the future.

However, Copper Medicine Wufeng, who had always had grievances with him, wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, so during a clan trial, they made a bet.

It was that time that the Copper Medicine City Lord almost lost his life, losing the bet.

With the bet lost and severely injured, Copper Medicine Wufeng took the opportunity to rise, mercilessly driving the Copper Medicine City Lord to the Second Layer to become a city lord of a marginal city.

Of course, this wasn't enough to make the Copper Medicine City Lord hate Copper Medicine Wufeng to the core.

On the way to the Second Layer, Copper Medicine Wufeng launched multiple assassination attempts on the Copper Medicine City Lord, forcing him into the habitat of an Ancient Fierce Beast. The Copper Medicine City Lord's loyal subordinates died protecting him, and his wife was cruelly killed by the Ancient Fierce Beast.

The Copper Medicine City Lord, who was always being hunted, escaped death by luck but suffered a great loss in strength.

Seeing him no longer a threat, and having no time to manage Second Layer affairs, Copper Medicine Wufeng allowed the Copper Medicine City Lord a chance to breathe.

This great hatred was buried in the Copper Medicine City Lord's heart. Every time he thought of it, he wished he could have Copper Medicine Wufeng torn to pieces.

This time, for the clan competition, he wanted Wang Xu to gain the attention of the senior members of the main clan and receive the protection of an Elder, thus giving his Copper Medicine Thunder Roar enough strength to drive Copper Medicine Wufeng's line out of the main clan, and even destroy them entirely!

"Copper Medicine Wufeng... Copper Medicine Dragon Charging Pill... I want to see how strong the geniuses amidst the Ganges living spirits truly are." Wang Xu slightly narrowed his eyes.

...

In a blink of an eye, the day of the clan's grand competition arrived. All the cities under the jurisdiction of the Copper Medicine main clan were bustling with excitement, throngs of people were all flocking towards the competition's location.

The conditions for participating in the grand competition were simple, only two.

First, one must be below the Ancient Spirit Realm.

Second, one must be of the Copper Medicine Clan.

"Selection? It doesn't seem too difficult."

Wang Xu arrived at one fixed point, where the crowd surged like the tide, at least a thousand True Spirit Realm juniors of the Copper Medicine clan vying with each other, undergoing the selection for the grand competition.

Only a thousand members of the Copper Medicine main clan were allowed to participate in the grand competition, and to secure one of these spots, one must defeat other clan members.

"Hmph! Trying to assault me? It's not that easy!"

On the Martial Platform, Copper Medicine Yerong had already stepped up to face an opponent.

In truth, Copper Medicine Yerong's strength wasn't weak. Her own realm was at the peak of the True Spirit Realm, and to withstand so long under Yunjuan Feng You's subordinates was enough to prove her prowess.

But in Wang Xu's eyes, this was just child's play.

"This round, Copper Medicine Yerong, wins!" As the referee's voice fell, Copper Medicine Yerong joyfully jumped off the stage and came in front of Wang Xu, proudly lifting her head, "How about that? I told you my strength has improved!"

"Indeed, your strength has improved, but only twenty spots are available at a single point. With your strength, it might be hard to secure a spot," Wang Xu observed from below for a long time. There were more than fifty people stronger than Copper Medicine Yerong, making it unlikely for her to enter the main clan.

"You!" Copper Medicine Yerong was furious, wanting to retort harshly, but recalling Wang Xu's unfathomable strength, she knew any harsh words would be powerless, so she pouted and turned her head in anger, "I won't talk to you anymore, hmph!"

The truth is often disliked.

Wang Xu shook his head helplessly.

Not long after, it was Wang Xu's turn to take the stage.

In a black robe, Wang Xu stood on the Martial Platform, with Copper Medicine Yerong and a group of Copper Medicine clansmen standing below, watching him intently with hopeful eyes.

Not just them, but in a corner below the Martial Platform, a figure with hands hidden in sleeves and cold eyes lurked among the crowd, staring intently at Wang Xu.

Copper Medicine Dragon Charging Pill.

He was a direct descendant of the main clan, a standout among the juniors, not needing to participate in such "open selections."

Regarding Wang Xu, he was filled with curiosity. Among the Copper Medicine Clan descendants, besides the prodigy "Copper Medicine He Xian," no one could give him such a mysterious and elusive feeling.

Wang Xu had completely piqued his curiosity.

"Looking at your frail body, if you surrender and forfeit, I can spare your life. But once the fight starts, I won't hold back!"

Standing opposite Wang Xu was a sturdy man towering at two meters, speaking in a muffled voice. As he stepped onto the platform, he appeared like an iron tower, exuding an oppressive aura.

This person was also in the True Spirit Realm, but in terms of strength, he far surpassed Copper Medicine Yerong, and wasn't much inferior to Yunjuan Feng You at his peak.

Wang Xu smiled slightly and extended a finger.

"What do you mean?" The big man was puzzled.

"One move, I only need one move to take you down." Wang Xu waved his finger with a smile.

"Humph! Big talk! If you die, don't blame anyone else. Come at me!" The big man, enraged, charged forward like an iron tower, displaying a dominating momentum.

Wang Xu's smile remained, and aside from extending that one finger, he made no other movements.

"Bang!"

The next moment, a figure shot out like a cannonball.

"In this round, Tai Xu, wins!" The judge's voice quickly fell. Wang Xu dusted off the dirt from his body and turned to walk off the martial platform.

On the other side, the iron tower big man lay on the ground, dumbfounded, having no idea what had just happened.

Wang Xu's attack didn't cause him any harm, it simply knocked him off the martial platform.

Being knocked off the martial platform meant losing. The big man lost so muddle-headedly, without even seeing others make a move.

"Only with this level of skill, can you be my match..."

From the crowd, Copper Medicine Fire sneered coldly.

Next, Copper Medicine Yerong and Wang Xu participated in a few more bouts.

Among the more than a thousand contestants, only twenty spots were available, the competition naturally being extremely fierce. Copper Medicine Yerong fought to the fourth match, exhausting his Constant Spirit, forced to concede.

Many other contestants were in the same situation, after several battles, their Constant Spirit was difficult to sustain.

"In this round, Tai Xu, wins!"

In contrast, Wang Xu was relaxed and unpressured, often resolving each fight with a single punch or kick, with smooth sailing.

The twenty spots settled, Wang Xu ranked first among them. This was recorded by the judge, clearly considering Wang Xu's strength to surpass the other nineteen.

"You twenty have earned the qualification to enter the main clan for ranking, now follow me!"

A group of twenty people mounted a Flying Dragon Fierce Beast, soaring towards the mountain engraved with the words Copper Medicine.

At the same time, other designated points also saw Flying Dragon Fierce Beasts rising into the sky, speeding towards the peak.

Shooting straight into the sky, through the clouds, around the mountain, Wang Xu soon saw a martial platform mid-mountain, several miles wide, entirely paved with special jade stones, where many waiting contestants were already gathered.

"The Copper Medicine City Lord is over there."

Wang Xu jumped down from the Flying Dragon Fierce Beast's back, glancing around, quickly spotting a hollowed-out corridor between the distant peaks, filled with Emperor Spirit Realm individuals, with the Copper Medicine City Lord among them.

Their eyes met, and the Copper Medicine City Lord solemnly nodded to Wang Xu, his gaze filled with fervor.

After about half an hour of waiting, all thousand people gathered.

An elder with white hair seated high on the corridor stood up, waved his hand, and loudly declared:

"Disciples of the Copper Medicine Clan, listen up! Today is the day of our main clan's grand competition, also the time for your destiny to change! Regardless of your former status or which layer you came from, now you must give your all in each duel to strive for a higher ranking! Understand?"

"Understood!" A thousand people shouted in unison, their voices resounding.

"Good! You are the hope of the future Copper Medicine Clan. Only you can truly make the Copper Medicine Clan prosperous and continue its glory!" The white-haired elder nodded, then flipped his hand, suddenly a scroll appeared in his hand.

The scroll was thrown into the sky, and as the elder pointed in the air, the scroll opened by itself, emitting a burst of golden light.

This golden light was not blinding but rather seemed alive, forming words in the air through strokes.

"So it's the ranking list."

Wang Xu took a glance and found Copper Medicine Fire, whom he had seen not long ago, surprisingly ranked second, while a person named Copper Medicine He Xian was ranked first.

Looking further down, Wang Xu did not see his name in the top one hundred, until it quietly appeared at the two hundred and thirty-seventh place with the words "Tai Xu."

Though Wang Xu's surname was not Copper Medicine, it did not cause much surprise, as those with surnames other than Copper Medicine took up at least half of the ranking list.

"Begin. Each of you has three opportunities to challenge those ranked on the list. If you win, you can claim their rank. If you lose, your rank remains unchanged, but I must declare one thing: life and death are disregarded in the main clan competition. Think twice before challenging anyone, as no one will seek justice for you if you die. Instead, they will laugh at your foolishness," the white-haired elder said unceremoniously.

"After using up your three opportunities, the grand competition ends, and the ranking list is finalized, and you will receive the rewards for each rank."

Upon hearing this, many clansmen's eyes lit up, even Wang Xu couldn't help but perk up his ears.

"Those ranked between one thousand to seven hundred will each receive a Returning Dragon Pill."

"Those ranked between seven hundred and three hundred will each receive an Xu Long Pill."

"Those ranked between three hundred and one hundred will each receive a Dragon-Burning Pill."

"Those ranked between one hundred and ten will each receive a Qilin Dragon Pill..."

These rewards are indeed generous, seems I didn't come in vain this time!

One must know, just obtaining a Returning Dragon Pill was significant, as the Copper Medicine City Lord once lost many subordinates and nearly his own life for it!

The difference is evident when compared.

"Those ranked within the top ten will receive different rewards, including secret techniques, Stones of Eternal Spirit, and Truth Weapons. But only the one ranked first will have the privilege of receiving the Supreme Elixir refined by our Copper Medicine Clan—the Dragon Charging Pill!"

Upon hearing this, all the clansmen below widened their eyes and gasped. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
