Chapter 67

After a moment of deep thought in the room, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged, his hand seals condensed, and a faint golden light enveloped his body.

Two days later, at the back mountain of the Du family, on a rock, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged, with a faint golden light swirling around his body like a series of spiritual snakes, continuously entering and exiting his skin.

When the fluctuations of these mystic energies reached their peak, with the change of Du Shaofu's hand seals, the abundant mystic energies were compressed into his body as if drawn by a fierce suction.

"Almost there, let's make a final push to the other shore!"

Zhen Qingchun, looking at Du Shaofu on the rock, whispered softly.

Du Shaofu's hand seals condensed and changed again, using his mental power to forcefully press the mystic energies into his dantian. Since becoming a Spirit Symbolist and practicing the Taiyi Soul Decision, his mental power had greatly increased. Du Shaofu felt that with the enhancement of his mental power, his cultivation and understanding of martial arts had also greatly improved, the two complementing each other.

"Bang!"

A low,闷沉的声音从杜少甫的神阙内悄然传出，随着这闷响传出，一道无形的屏障悄然打开，一股强悍的气势骤然间自杜少甫周身如同是风暴般席卷开去。

久久之后，一切平息，岩石上的紫袍身影睁开锐利深邃的双眸，感觉这体内充沛的玄气，脸庞泛起了笑意，喃喃轻道：“终于踏足彼岸，不知道进入雷池之后，能够得到多少的好处。”……

入夜，皓月高悬，月明星暗，夜空透亮，难得的好天气。

而这一夜，对于石城内的许多人来说，注定是紧张和期待并存的一夜。

当黎明前的黑暗刚刚过去，石城内的街道上就陆续有了身影走出，并且越来越多，都是前往城中广场而去，今天就是五大家族年轻一辈较量的日子，要是去的晚了到时候可就没有好位置了。

整个石城人口也不少，作为五大家族年轻一辈较量这种数年才有一次的盛事，也是石城最为热闹的盛事，自然是人山人海。

刚刚天色大亮的时候，石城中央那辽阔的广场上，便是已经挤满了人潮。

由于是五大家族年轻一辈的较量盛事，五大家族也早就是出动了不少的人到了广场维护治安。

当然这也是场面和排场，在石城之内，又有谁敢在五大家族的眼皮子底下闹事，除非是不想活了还差不多。

当时间徐徐而过，广场一角的特殊入口之内开始人影闪烁，不少身影出现，立刻在人群中引起了连锁反应。

“快看，白家的人来了，白家家主白继儒，白家大少白天明，白家二小姐白彩衣。”

“秦家的人也来了，前面的可是秦家家主秦宗琼，还有秦家小姐秦小露，旁边的好像是那曹启泰，听说来头极大呢。”

“那曹启泰倒是一表人才，秦家倒是找了一个好女婿。”

“犴家的人也来了，犴家家主犴青松，犴龙犴虎两兄弟都来了。”

“……”

随着广场四周的人影骚动议论，白家，犴家，秦家这三大家族的人徐徐而来。

各族强者碰面之后，也都是颇为礼貌的短短寒暄，随即步上广场上首早已经安排好的高位坐椅端坐。

身后不少的年轻一辈男女静静的站在其后，气度都是不凡，令得广场四周甚至传出了不少的呼喊之声。

不少身姿婀娜的窈窕少女和青年才俊，望着各大家族背后那些不凡的年轻男女，目光中带着娇羞和崇拜。

“杜家的人也来了，杜家家主杜振武，杜家二爷杜志雄都来了。”

“那身着紫袍的就是杜少甫了，听说这一次杜家只有他一人代表杜家参加。”……

当杜少甫随着大伯二伯到了广场的时候，面对着整个辽阔的广场四周密密麻麻不少于数十万之众的围观者之时，也是从心中震愕了一下。

“少甫，不用紧张，放松一些。”杜志雄拍着杜少甫的肩膀说道。

陆少游微微一笑，有些震愕却并不是紧张，只是没想到会这么热闹而已。

“少甫，左侧的那个看着斯文的胖子是白家的家主白继儒，别看他斯文，可不是什么善鸟，花花肠子多着，身后的是他儿白天明，我听说已经被你揍过了。不过白继儒的女儿白彩衣你要多留意，据说白彩衣比起他那哥哥无论是天赋还是聪明才智都是要强的。”

杜志雄轻声在杜少甫耳边说道：“犴家的人你应该都认识了，旁边的是秦家的人，中间的那个看起来有些阴沉的是秦家现在的家主秦宗琼，秦小露你也揍过了，那长衫青年就是曹启泰，你要多注意。”

杜少甫闻言，目光也不留痕迹的在步行中落在了已经到了的三大家族阵容内，每一个家族都是来了上百人。白家阵容内，一个身着儒服的斯文中年应该就是二伯说的白继儒了，白天明的身边，一个透着灵气的女子应该就是白彩衣。

犴家的人，杜少甫已经认识了不少，最后目光落在了秦家阵容内，二伯所说的秦宗琼端坐中间，脸庞看起来颇为阴沉，就像是人人都欠他钱一般，身后的秦小露，杜少甫也早就见过了。

正在杜少甫的打量中，蓦地也感觉到了不少的目光落在了自己的身上，抬头顺着，目光望去，其中有着白家的白彩衣，白天明，秦小露，犴龙犴虎等人。

而让杜少甫动容的则是秦小露身边的一个颇为俊朗的青年，不知道为什么，这青年的目光令得杜少甫无端心中有些波动。

“这就是那曹启泰了么，好像是隐藏了修为啊。”杜少甫心道。

“杜兄，你可来晚了。”

随着杜振武等杜家众人而来，白家的秦宗琼和秦家的秦宗琼都是起身寒暄。

只是犴家犴青松目光瞥了一眼杜家的人，随即又静静的站着，倒是犴家的不少强者，都是怒视冲冲的瞥着杜家的来人。

“时间刚刚好，是你们等不及来早了啊。”

杜振武微微一笑，和秦家白家中的数个人短短寒暄之后，便是到了杜家阵容内端坐，身后坐着杜家的不少长老长辈。

杜少甫和前来看热闹的杜宇，杜雪等年轻一辈，就只有静静在身后站着的份了。

杜家来人中，也有着杜浩，杜冲，杜延等人，虽然这十几个人伤势不轻无法上场，免得到时候丢了杜家的颜面，不过出来看看热闹倒是自然没问题的。

“叶城主来了。”

人群中再度骚动，广场一角，有着不少身影出现。

A low,闷沉的声音从杜少甫的神阙内悄然传出，随着这闷响传出， a barrier silently opened, and a powerful aura suddenly swept out from Du Shaofu's body like a storm.

After a long while, everything calmed down. The figure in purple on the rock opened his sharp, deep eyes, feeling the abundant mystic energy within him. A smile spread across his face as he murmured softly, "Finally reached the other shore. I wonder how much benefit I will gain after entering the Thunder Pool." ...

Night fell, the moon hung high, the stars were bright, and the night sky was clear, a rare good weather.

For many people in the Stone City, this night was destined to be one of tension and anticipation.

As the darkness before dawn just passed, figures began to emerge on the streets of the Stone City, and more and more people gathered, all heading to the city square. Today was the day of the competition among the young generations of the five major families. If they arrived late, they wouldn't get a good spot.

The population of the entire Stone City was not small. As a grand event that only occurred every few years, the competition among the young generations of the five major families was the most bustling event in the Stone City, naturally drawing a huge crowd.

Just as the sky brightened, the vast square in the center of the Stone City was already packed with people.

Since it was a grand event for the young generations of the five major families, the five families had already dispatched many people to the square to maintain order.

Of course, this was also a matter of appearance and prestige. In the Stone City, who would dare to cause trouble under the watchful eyes of the five major families? Unless they didn't want to live anymore.

As time slowly passed, figures began to appear at a special entrance in one corner of the square, immediately causing a chain reaction in the crowd.

"Look, the Bai family has arrived. The head of the Bai family, Bai Jiru, the eldest son of the Bai family, Bai Tianming, and the second daughter of the Bai family, Bai Caiyi."

"The Qin family has also arrived. The one in front is the head of the Qin family, Qin Zongqiong, and the daughter of the Qin family, Qin Xiaolu. The one next to her seems to be Cao Qitai, who is said to have a great background."

"That Cao Qitai is quite handsome; the Qin family has found a good son-in-law."

"The An family has also arrived. The head of the An family, An Qingsong, and the brothers An Long and An Hu have come."

"..."

As the figures from the Bai, An, and Qin families gradually arrived, the crowd around the square buzzed with discussion.

After the strong figures from each family met, they exchanged brief pleasantries and then took their seats in the high chairs arranged at the front of the square.

Behind them, many young men and women stood quietly, their demeanor extraordinary, causing many cheers to rise from the crowd around the square.

Many graceful young women and talented young men looked at the extraordinary young men and women behind the major families, their eyes filled with shyness and admiration.

"The Du family has also arrived. The head of the Du family, Du Zhenwu, and the second elder of the Du family, Du Zhixiong, have come."

"That one in purple is Du Shaofu. I heard that this time, the Du family is only represented by him." ...

When Du Shaofu arrived at the square with his uncles, he was momentarily stunned by the vast crowd of tens of thousands of onlookers.

"Shaofu, don't be nervous, relax a bit," Du Zhixiong said, patting Du Shaofu's shoulder.

Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly, feeling somewhat surprised but not nervous, just not expecting it to be so bustling.

"Shaofu, the plump, refined-looking man on the left is the head of the Bai family, Bai Jiru. Don't be fooled by his refined appearance; he's not a good person, with many tricks up his sleeve. The one behind him is his son, Bai Tianming, who I heard you already beat. However, you should pay attention to Bai Jiru's daughter, Bai Caiyi. It's said that she is more talented and intelligent than her brother."

Du Zhixiong whispered softly in Du Shaofu's ear, "You should already know the people from the An family. The ones next to them are from the Qin family. The one in the middle, who looks somewhat gloomy, is the current head of the Qin family, Qin Zongqiong. You've already beaten Qin Xiaolu. The young man in the long robe is Cao Qitai; you should pay attention to him."

Du Shaofu, hearing this, subtly directed his gaze to the formations of the three major families as he walked. Each family had brought over a hundred people. In the Bai family's formation, a refined-looking middle-aged man in a scholar's robe was likely Bai Jiru, and the woman beside Bai Tianming was likely Bai Caiyi.

Du Shaofu had already met many people from the An family. Finally, his gaze fell on the Qin family's formation. The one in the middle, as described by his uncle, was Qin Zongqiong, who looked quite gloomy, as if everyone owed him money. Du Shaofu had already seen Qin Xiaolu.

As Du Shaofu was observing, he suddenly felt many eyes on him. He looked up and saw Bai Caiyi, Bai Tianming, Qin Xiaolu, An Long, and An Hu among others.

What caught Du Shaofu's attention was a rather handsome young man beside Qin Xiaolu. For some reason, this young man's gaze made Du Shaofu's heart flutter.

"This must be Cao Qitai. He seems to be concealing his cultivation," Du Shaofu thought.

"Brother Du, you're late."

As Du Zhenwu and the others from the Du family arrived, Qin Zongqiong from the Bai family and Qin Zongqiong from the Qin family both stood up to greet them.

However, An Qingsong from the An family merely glanced at the Du family and then stood quietly. Many of the An family's strong figures glared at the Du family's arrivals.

"The timing is just right. It's you who couldn't wait and came early."

Du Zhenwu smiled slightly, exchanged brief pleasantries with a few people from the Qin and Bai families, and then took his seat in the Du family's formation, with many elders and seniors behind him.

Du Shaofu and the other young people, such as Du Yu and Du Xue, who had come to watch, could only stand quietly behind.

Among the Du family's arrivals were Du Hao, Du Chong, and Du Yan, among others. Although these dozen or so people were injured and could not participate, they could still come to watch the event without losing face for the Du family.

"City Lord Ye has arrived."

The crowd buzzed again as figures appeared in one corner of the square.
