Chapter 11: Robbery.

Looking at the juniors who were already showing signs of impatience, Du Zhi Xiong smiled slightly and then announced loudly, "Now I declare, the annual competition and exchange begins!"

"Boom!"

As the big man's words fell, the entire venue erupted. The young men and women, their blood boiling, released their mystic energy, causing waves of air to ripple around them.

Suddenly, over a hundred strands of mystic energy, each of a different color, burst out in a dazzling display. Figures darted rapidly, and the young men and women began to disperse, to avoid being ambushed and defeated by those around them. This was a chaotic elimination match, where everyone fought for themselves.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

However, the battles began almost immediately.

"Go, Brother Du Hao."

"Go, Sister Du Xue."

On the surrounding training ground, as the competition erupted, excited cheers and shouts of support erupted from the young crowd, each one cheering for their favorite.

"Huh, that fool didn't go up. I thought he wanted to participate too."

"How could that fool dare to go up? He probably just came to watch the fun."

Among the onlookers from the Du family, when they noticed that Du Shao Fu had not entered the arena, their gazes became even more disdainful and hateful. Eventually, no one paid any more attention to Du Shao Fu, focusing instead on the intense competition in the arena.

Du Zhi Xiong and the elders from the Du family had already retreated to the prepared seats to watch. A woman in plain clothes looked at the arena and then said to the sturdy man beside her, "Second Uncle, the overall strength of the juniors this time is quite good."

"Yes, there are a few from the collateral line who are not weak either."

Du Zhi Xiong's gaze had been somewhat complicated, fixed on Du Shao Fu, who was not in the arena. His eyes flickered with some波动, but upon hearing the woman's words, he收回了目光, focusing on the arena.

"However, the collateral line ultimately can't match the main line." An elder, looking at the arena, couldn't help but interject.

Du Zhi Xiong smiled slightly, saying nothing more. Everyone's attention was on the intense competition in the arena, and even Du Shao Fu in the crowd watched with interest.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The competition on the training ground became increasingly intense, with people being eliminated one after another. The low, heavy sounds of combat, accompanied by the occasional exclamations and discussions from the surrounding Du family members, made the scene extremely lively.

After several rounds of intense competition, as the surrounding Du family members had predicted, only Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan remained standing in the arena, drawing the attention and admiration of many.

"According to the rules, this time in the clan's competition, Du Hao is first, Du Chong is second, and Du Yan is third."

An elder from the Du family, smiling, loudly announced the results of the clan's competition.

"I told you, the essence blood of the Boulder Demon Wolf is mine."

Du Hao smiled smugly, walking straight to the long table in front of the elders and taking the palm-sized jade bottle containing the Boulder Demon Wolf's essence blood.

Du Chong and Du Yan did not fall behind, each grabbing the brocade box containing the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Seeing the Boulder Demon Wolf's essence blood and the Foundation Establishment Pill fall into the hands of these three, envious gazes fell upon them.

"Brother Du Hao, well done."

"Congratulations, Brother Du Hao, Brother Du Chong."

Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan, holding the Boulder Demon Wolf's essence blood and the Foundation Establishment Pill with pride, walked off the training ground. The crowd was in an uproar, and they were immediately surrounded and welcomed by many young men and women. Everywhere they went, they were met with flattery and congratulations.

Du Shao Fu glanced at Du Hao and the others, his gaze flickering, then turned and left.

"Brother Hao, look, that fool is running away."

"That fool didn't even dare to enter the arena, and now he's running away. He must be afraid of getting beaten."

"Does this fool already know that Brother Chong and Brother Hao plan to cripple one of his hands, so he's running away?"

"Hahahaha, knowing to run, he's not too stupid after all."

"..."

The young men and women who were surrounding Du Hao and the others noticed Du Shao Fu turning to leave and immediately burst into mocking laughter.

"Let that fool run. He's lucky today. Let's go drink and celebrate. I'll treat everyone today!"

Du Chong and Du Hao had planned to settle accounts with Du Shao Fu later, but they didn't expect him to run away. The three of them were clearly in a good mood, and after giving Du Shao Fu's back a fierce glare, they decided not to act today. After all, there was plenty of time to deal with a fool.

"That's right, Brother Hao and Brother Chong are magnanimous. That fool was lucky today."

"Now we should go celebrate properly. Congratulations, Brother Hao, Brother Chong, and Brother Yan for winning the clan's rewards."

The young men and women continued to簇拥着Du Hao and the others, praising and planning to celebrate.

At the exit of the training ground, there was a large iron gate. Just as Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan were being簇拥and praised, a figure suddenly walked out and blocked their path.

This was a young man in a purple robe, with clear and bright eyes, a resolute and sharp face, and a faint smile.

"Huh, the fool is back."

"Is this fool coming back to die?"

Gazes immediately fell on the young man in the purple robe. Many faces changed, realizing it was Du Shao Fu.

Du Chong, Du Hao, and Du Yan, seeing Du Shao Fu blocking the exit, exchanged surprised glances and then each revealed a hint of coldness.

Ignoring the surrounding ridicule and laughter, Du Shao Fu only looked at Du Hao and the others, his clear gaze filled with a smile, and said calmly, "Robbery!"

The two simple words echoed loudly, making the crowd suddenly fall silent.

Gazes filled with surprise immediately fell on Du Shao Fu, thinking they had heard wrong. In just a breath, the young men and women burst into laughter, as if they had heard the funniest thing in the world. Some boys laughed so hard they bent over, and some girls laughed until they were shaking.

"Hahahaha..."

"Did you hear that? The fool said he wants to rob us."

"Robbing Brother Hao and Brother Chong, this fool must be tired of living!"

"I didn't hear wrong, did I? We always rob him. This fool must be getting dumber."

"How do I feel like this fool is getting cuter in his foolishness?"

"..."

"You... what did you say? You want to rob us? We didn't hear wrong, did we? Haha..."

Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan also laughed, tears almost streaming down their faces.
