Ancient Thunder Dragon Spell Chapter 35

Chapter 35 - Opening of the Family Compet.i.tion

Following the direction that Lei San was pointing, Lei Kaishan also saw Lei Yang, who was from the direct line of descent.

Lei San and the others also carried an intense hatred within them as they glared viciously at Lei Yang. This hatred had led them to feel extremely stifled and incomparably sharp.

The truth was, last time they were in front of Lei Ming, they were scared out of their wits by Lei Yang and did not protect their master wholeheartedly. During this period of time, they were almost tortured to a miserable state by Lei Ming, so this debt was naturally owed to Lei Yang.

The cold gazes from the few people in the audience practically formed a true killing intent. As it enveloped Lei Yang, it caused the surrounding s.p.a.ce to become even colder, as though he had instantly fallen into an icehouse.

Lei Yang naturally understood that his ident.i.ty had already been exposed, but these few people were too slow, they actually teamed up and stared at him, which made him angry.

"You were the one who was unreasonable when betting the pills that day, and now you're still putting up with me? You're the only ones who know how to glare at people, do you think I'm blind!?" Lei Yang immediately and fiercely stared back.

He immediately felt that it was difficult to match all four of his hands with two fists. Feeling guilty, he retracted his gaze and hurriedly comforted himself, "Forget it, since you are my lucky star, I, as a lord, will never remember this lowly person. I will not fuss about it with you!"

When he thought about the bountiful harvest from Lei Ming's storage ring, Lei Yang's heart immediately became more balanced, and his face even revealed his signature bashful smile, but just as his smile appeared, the surrounding s.p.a.ce became even colder, and without even needing to look, he knew, that it was another round of the opponent's eyes.

After retracting his gaze, Lei Yang immediately had a bad premonition. Even though he had already predicted that today's matter would be completely exposed in front of Lei Kaishan before he came, he didn't expect that Lei Ming's hatred towards him would be so deep.

Because he had always thought that his punch only injured Lei Ming. He had never thought that just that one punch would turn Lei Ming into a cripple, and even he had underestimated the power of that overbearing punch.

However, regardless of whether they revealed their ident.i.ty or not, they had already formed an irreconcilable enmity with Lei Kaishan and his son. Thus, it was no different from fifty to a hundred steps.

His top priority right now was to get enough attention from the entire Family Compet.i.tion for his family. Only by doing so would he be able to temporarily resolve the crisis and earn more time for his growth.

Just as Lei Yang was deep in thought, at the very end of the line of direct descendants, a white-clothed youth walked into the line.

His face was handsome, his entire being seemed spotless, with an extraordinary temperament, but there was not a single trace of cultivation on his body. He was none other than Lei Kaishan's eldest son, Lei Ming's brother, Lei Chengfeng.

It was also at this moment that, at the very front of the direct line of disciples, was a large bluestone throne. It was a very unique seat, covered with black magical symbols that formed the same dragon design. There were nine of them, and they were impressively an enormous green stone dragon throne.

At this moment, the nine black runes on the green stone dragon throne began to twist as if they were alive. The dragon heads faced the center of the green stone dragon throne, causing a black vortex to form in the center of the seat.

The instant the vortex was formed, a figure wearing a lightning crown and a golden dragon robe slowly walked out of the black vortex. It gradually became clear and finally sat steadily on the green stone dragon throne. When the figure appeared, the noisy square went silent.

Lei Yang raised his head to look, only to see a golden-robed figure walking out from the whirlpool, it was a middle aged man. He was tall, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright.

Although his aura had been restrained, he just stood there like an inverted sword, his entire body exuding an extremely sharp aura. Lei Yang recognized this man. He was none other than the current Lei Family Patriarch, Lei Yuntian.

After a short period of silence, the elders of the direct line cupped their fists and bowed. With a loud and clear voice, they said, "We pay our respects to the patriarch!" After that, although the eight dragon clans felt somewhat unwilling, they also clasped their fists and greeted him.

Although a sneer was hidden deep within Lei Kaishan's eyes, in the same way, he still cupped his fists and gave a light bow. At this moment, no matter it was in the spectator's area or the plaza, everyone cupped their fists and bowed respectfully to the master of the family, Lei Yuntian, in front of the azure stone dragon throne.

In an instant, waves after waves of greetings rose and fell, one after another, in the end converging into sound waves. They shot up into the sky and turned into a bolt of lightning, exploding in the sky above the Wuyuan Town, spreading in all directions, causing the entire Wuyuan Town to know of the Lei Family's annual grand ceremony … Family Compet.i.tion... The prelude once again opened.

Lei Yuntian, who was standing in front of the cyan stone dragon throne, appeared rather satisfied as he continuously nodded with a smile. In the end, he swung his large sleeve, lightly pressed on the air in front of his chest with his right hand, and a "bo" sound rang out.

The air in front of his chest rippled like water in the air, scattering in all directions.

As the ripple spread, a powerful pressure belonging to the Perfection of the Core Formation Stage suddenly spread outwards. At the same time, it was as if all the sound in the s.p.a.ce within the plaza was wiped away by the ripple in an instant, and the entire plaza returned to its previous silence.

At the same time, Lei Yuntian's figure flashed, and when he appeared, he was already at the center of the green stone stage.

With a 'shua' sound, everyone's attention shifted to the stone platform in the center of the square. Following that, the powerful pressure dissipated.

Immediately after, Lei Yuntian's voice came out from the sealed plaza.

"I am very happy. The annual Family Compet.i.tion will come as promised by the children of the clan. First, we must welcome the clansmen of the Eight Dragon Clan …" After greeting him politely, Lei Yuntian coughed lightly and said seriously.

"Next up, what I want to announce is the compet.i.tion rules. Although every year the Family Compet.i.tion rules are already a cliché, there are still many unavoidable, many unnecessary injuries. So, I hope everyone will pay enough attention to avoid tragedy as much as possible.

Family Compet.i.tion wanted to pick out the disciples with the most potential for cultivation in the family, so she asked all of the disciples partic.i.p.ating to be from the same family.

No one was allowed to play tricks, and no one was allowed to kill anyone. All fighting techniques were required to be kept to a certain point, and even if one was unable to control them, they were not allowed to cause any harm to a person's life. Those who violated the clan rules would be punished.

If either side was defeated by the other side, and they were unable to stand up, they would be deemed to have been eliminated. However, once the judge announced the winner or the other side voluntarily admitted defeat in the compet.i.tion, the other side would have to stop immediately and could not continue to attack.

This year's compet.i.tion had a total of one thousand three hundred and eight contestants, divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D. The contestants would compete at the same time until the top ten of the family were determined.

And only those who could enter the top ten ranks of the family would have the qualifications to enter the semifinals tomorrow.

If they could defeat the top three in the compet.i.tion tomorrow, the family would give it their all and focus on nurturing them. They would represent the Lei Family and gain the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Origin Ceremony, which was held once every three years in the entire Wuyuan Town.

I hope that everyone will follow the rules strictly during the compet.i.tion. I will now distribute the Family Compet.i.tion's number plates to everyone present, and after receiving your number plates, please follow your number plates to the designated areas to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. "

After Lei Yuntian finished speaking, before anyone could even react, he waved his hand, and countless jade slips flew out from his sleeve, unerringly landing in the hands of every single disciple partic.i.p.ating in the tournament.

These disciples could not help but be excited earlier, especially when they heard that the top three Family Compet.i.tion s could obtain the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Origin Ceremony.

At this moment, each of them had their number plates in their hands, causing the entire plaza to become restless. Every disciple that was partic.i.p.ating in the Family Compet.i.tion was eager to give it a try, wishing that it was their turn to go up on stage and fight.

Amidst the agitation, Lei Yang also lowered his head to look. In his hand was a wooden number plate, his eyes swept across it, and immediately he understood, according to the content of the number plate, he was divided into the 'Group C, Round 48'.

Just as everyone had lowered their heads to look at their number plates, the sounds of discussions started once again, and Lei Yuntian once again spoke out: "Alright, the rules of the Family Compet.i.tion has been announced, all partic.i.p.ating disciples, follow your number plates and partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, the rest, leave the plaza, and request the four elders to arrange four stages, A, B and C!"

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, his silhouette flickered as he returned to the huge green stone dragon throne at the very front of the direct line of spectators.

At the same time, four elders immediately flew out from behind the huge green stone dragon throne and landed on all sides of the stone platform in the center of the square.

The four elders were, Great Elder Lei Changqing, Pill Pavilion Elder Lei Yunzi, Fifth Elder Lei Zongyang, and Seventh Elder Lei Xianming.

The moment the four of them landed on the stone stage in the center of the plaza, a strong aura immediately burst forth from their bodies, especially from Great Elder Lei Changqing and Pill Pavilion Elder Lei Yunzi, and they even released a shocking Core Formation aura. Although the auras of the Fifth Elder were weaker than the Seventh Elder's, it was still the aura of someone at the perfection-stage of the Spirit Origin Realm.

The moment they landed on the stone platform, the four of them performed an incantation gesture and pushed out toward the s.p.a.ce around the platform. In the midst of the rumbling sounds, four stone platforms that were slightly smaller than the center stone platform suddenly rose up around the stone platform.

As the stone platform slowly rose up, it finally stopped. After the four smaller stone platforms connected with the center platform, a giant cross suddenly appeared in the center of the square.

When the four stone platforms finally stopped, the four people attacked at the same time. With a press of their hands, a screen of light appeared around the stone platform, and the moment the screen of light formed, the four people returned to the spectator stands in a blink of an eye.

Although all of this took a long time to describe, it had actually happened in a very short period of time. From the moment Patriarch Lei Yuntian returned to his Green Stone Dragon Throne, the four elders had only needed a few breaths to finish arranging the four platforms.

Seeing that everything was ready, Lei Yuntian immediately announced in a loud voice: "This Family Compet.i.tion will officially open!"

The moment Lei Yuntian's words fell, the entire arena burst into cheers and cheers like a tsunami. The disciples at the front of the queue also flew into their respective light screens according to the number plates in their hands, and entered the four arenas.

In an instant, all sorts of techniques and techniques were unleashed as they violently clashed against each other within the light screen. The scene became extremely lively and waves of cheers and cheers came out from the grandstands …
