Chapter 22

In the early morning, a noisy sound spread throughout the Han family residence. (Geniuses only need 3 seconds to remember)

The voices were deafening, and in the corridors and passageways, one could see figures hurrying by everywhere. Each person's face was tinged with a hint of joy and excitement.

The martial arts arena was already crowded with almost all the members of the Han family. The atmosphere had reached its peak.

Seeing the bustling scene, Wang Chen, standing at the entrance of the martial arts arena, was also inwardly excited. This moment had finally arrived! The Han family competition had begun.

"Bro Chen, good luck!" Tang Ming patted Wang Chen's shoulder and said loudly, his determination making him look quite amusing.

Since the day Wang Chen defeated Han Feng, this guy had admired Wang Chen to the point of blind faith. If Wang Chen were to say he could win first place in this family competition, this guy would nod in agreement without hesitation.

His trust and admiration for Wang Chen, already strong, had reached a terrifying level after the Han Feng incident.

"Let's go, let's go in!" Wang Chen smiled slightly and said to Tang Ming.

All the members of the Han family had gathered, and not only that, many influential figures from Qingfeng City were also present, making a grand scene. The rise and fall of a family depended on the achievements of their younger generation, so the annual family competition was an important basis for evaluation by various forces! The strength of the younger generation meant the rise of the family!

Wang Chen's arrival quickly drew the attention of many people. This young man, who had risen strongly in the past month, had piqued the interest of many, especially those who had come to observe from outside.

Everyone knew that two years ago, the Han family had adopted a waste, unable to condense true essence, which was a laughingstock in Qingfeng City. But just a month ago, news spread that this waste had actually injured a fifth-stage Body Tempering Han family direct descendant with three punches, causing a great shock!

This was one of the reasons many people had come to watch the Han family competition today. The Wang family, which had been forgotten by many, still made some people wary when they thought about it.

This top family of the Tianfeng Kingdom two years ago had great strength, but for some unknown reason, it was completely destroyed overnight, causing a huge upheaval at the time. The Wang family's only survivor eventually sought refuge with the Han family, which was already a public secret.

The news that Wang Chen could not condense true essence had made everyone believe that the Wang family was completely finished! But who would have thought that two years later, there would suddenly be a turning point? Whether that news was true or false would be revealed today, and many people were looking forward to it.

The younger generation of the Han family looked at Wang Chen with complex expressions. They had witnessed the rise of this waste with their own eyes, and the memory was still vivid, as if it had just happened.

Although some were puzzled and some doubted, they could not help but feel a bit wary.

Of course, not everyone was like this. The outstanding members of the younger generation were relatively calm. Even if Wang Chen had truly broken through his shackles, he still posed no threat to them! The gap was still too large, and two years of idleness had deprived him of the capital to stand on equal footing with them.

A few people, including Han Feng and Han Yu, had particularly cold expressions.

Seeing Wang Chen appear, the two exchanged glances and revealed a sinister smile.

"Little brat, today I'll make you a complete waste!" Han Feng sneered to himself.

Amid the chatter, Wang Chen remained calm, feeling the change in the crowd's gaze. Only when he sensed a faint killing intent locking onto him did he turn his head, seeing the cold smiles of Han Yu and Han Feng, which made his lips curl with a cold expression!

"Bro Chen, you're really in the limelight now! Ha... I feel like I'm shining just by walking beside you!" Tang Ming clearly saw the effect of Wang Chen's appearance and asked him in a low, nervous voice.

All along, he had been a servant of the Han family, always bowing his head and being cautious when he saw these young masters and misses. Now, he was the center of attention, a feeling he had never experienced before! Tang Ming suddenly felt a sense of elation, his mouth wide open in a smile that made people feel helpless.

"Hehe, Bro Chen, I really didn't make a mistake in befriending you. When I first saw you, I knew you would be extraordinary. Look, I was right, wasn't I!" Tang Ming continued to boast, and Wang Chen could only pretend to listen.

This sleazy guy truly embodied the saying: "Give him a little sunshine, and he shines; give him a little spring, and he becomes wanton!" He had been told many times not to be so short-sighted, but this guy never changed, still looking smug.

Entering the arena, Wang Chen stood in a corner, quietly waiting for the competition to officially begin.

After the brief commotion caused by Wang Chen's appearance, the martial arts arena returned to its previous atmosphere. People chatted and laughed, and the younger generation rubbed their hands in anticipation.

Of course, more people were discussing the most promising candidates for first place.

Han Yuxuan, without a doubt, was the most popular choice. At just fifteen, she had reached the peak of the eighth stage of Body Tempering, just one step away from the ninth stage, a truly stunning achievement. She was not undeserving of the title of Qingfeng City's top genius! Even Wang Chen had to marvel at it.

Two years ago, she had only just entered the third stage of Body Tempering, but today, two years later, she had already touched the threshold of the ninth stage, giving her ample reason to be proud.

Next was Han Jin, another genius of the Han family. At seventeen, he had also reached the threshold of the ninth stage of Body Tempering, a remarkable talent.

Then came Han Yu, who, at the eighth stage of Body Tempering, was the third most popular candidate, at eighteen, just meeting the age requirement for the competition.

Almost no one in the arena could match these three! Speaking of Han Yu, it was inevitable to mention Wang Chen. Before the competition, Han Yu had already declared that he would cripple Wang Chen. Those who knew the reason looked at Wang Chen with a strange expression, but Wang Chen faced it calmly.

A moment later, as the Han family patriarch, Han Tianren, stood up on the platform at the front, the arena fell silent.

He slowly walked to the front of the platform, and the members of the various forces who had come to watch the competition also stood up from their viewing seats.

Only in the VIP seats were eight people sitting, exuding a dignified and transcendent aura. Even from the platform, dozens of meters away, one could clearly feel the powerful aura they emitted!

These people quickly caught Wang Chen's attention, a flash of light in his eyes. If his guess was correct, these were the representatives of the sects that had come to select new blood!

The prosperity of each sect was directly related to the new members they recruited each year, known as new blood!

If a sect had strong new blood, its rise was only a matter of time. Therefore, every year, the family competitions of families like the Han family would inevitably attract many sects to come and select members! As for Donglin Mountain, it could only be said that it was one of the top sects, which was why it was mentioned separately.

Even the top families of the Tianfeng Kingdom, such as the former Wang family, would attract all the major sects of the northern border when they held their family competitions. Wang Chen's brother had been selected by the top northern border sect, the Flame Sect, during a family competition and taken away for training.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen was secretly excited, wondering if there would be even more powerful sects present today besides Donglin Mountain!

"The Han family competition begins now!" On the platform, Han Tianren finally spoke, immediately drawing a wave of enthusiastic cheers.
