Chapter 35

In the arena, the two brothers faced each other.

Chu Feng's face was somewhat grim, while Chu Gu Yu wore a smile.

Neither of them spoke, as if they were conveying a certain emotion through their gazes.

Chu Gu Yu was happy for Chu Feng, who had reached the Sixth Level of Spirit Martial at such a young age, surpassing him in terms of talent.

Suddenly, Chu Gu Yu's mouth opened slightly, about to turn his head to speak to the elders of the Chu family below.

"I concede." However, when these three words echoed, Chu Gu Yu's smile instantly froze. Although these were the words he wanted to say, they were not spoken by him at this moment.

"Brother, you..." Chu Gu Yu looked at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with resentment. He had intended to give this opportunity to Chu Feng, but did not expect Chu Feng to take the initiative.

Chu Feng's expression had improved significantly. He walked calmly to Chu Gu Yu's side and said with a smile, "Don't mind it. I just feel that, as disciples of a first-rate sect, you are more suitable to face him."

"Defeat him, wash away the disgrace of our brotherhood from years ago, crush him, and let him know who is the first among the young generation of the Chu family!"

After saying this, Chu Feng walked off the arena with a graceful stride. However, his action undoubtedly caused another uproar.

Some people thought that Chu Feng was being righteous, creating an opportunity for his elder brother.

But others believed that Chu Feng had a clear understanding of his own abilities, knowing he was not a match for Chu Gu Yu and Chu Hongfei, and thus chose to concede.

Regardless of what others speculated, Chu Gu Yu was very clear about the meaning behind his brother's words.

After Chu Feng conceded, the clan competition was nearing its end. Chu Gu Yu and Chu Hongfei, both at the Sixth Level of Spirit Martial and disciples of a first-rate sect, became the final opponents without any doubt.

This final match was the most exciting moment of the clan competition, and almost everyone's attention was focused on these two young men, to see who would be the first among the young generation of the Chu family.

"Swish, swish."

The two engaged in combat, displaying a dazzling array of martial techniques to their fullest extent.

Truly, as disciples of a first-rate sect, they not only possessed formidable martial techniques but also had first-class combat skills.

When the brilliant moves and powerful gusts of wind flew up and down the arena, they indeed presented a visual feast for the audience.

"Brother, you must win."

While more people watched with admiration, Chu Feng only hoped that Chu Gu Yu would win.

Because this battle was not just about competing for fame and profit; it also represented whether the disgrace that Chu Feng and Chu Gu Yu had suffered at the hands of Chu Hongfei years ago could be erased.

"Roar!"

"Bang!"

However, when Chu Hongfei's heavy punch sent Chu Gu Yu falling off the arena, spitting blood, all of Chu Feng's hopes were dashed.

"Brother."

Chu Feng ran to Chu Gu Yu in a frenzy, deeply afraid that his elder brother might be seriously injured.

When he reached Chu Gu Yu, he found him looking at him quietly, tears streaming down his face. In an extremely apologetic tone, Chu Gu Yu said, "Brother, I'm useless, I've let you down."

After saying this, Chu Gu Yu closed his eyes and fainted. Seeing his brother's severe injuries, Chu Feng was instantly panicked.

"Tsk, tsk, I told you, during the clan competition, it's best for you two brothers not to meet me, or I'll beat you so badly you can't get up."

"How about it, did I keep my word?" Chu Hongfei sneered at Chu Feng, his words filled with sarcasm.

"Scoundrel, I'll cripple you." Seeing this, Chu Feng, like a raging tiger, was about to leap onto the high platform to challenge Chu Hongfei.

"Chu Feng, stop." But before Chu Feng could leap, a strong hand tightly grabbed his shoulder. Turning around, he saw it was his father, Chu Yuan.

"The outcome is already decided, don't make a fool of yourself." Although Chu Yuan's words were calm, Chu Feng could see the anger in his eyes.

Indeed, seeing his son beaten to this state, which father would not be angry? But in such a situation, he had to control his emotions.

"You're right, be obedient and listen to your father, or you might ruin your father's chances of becoming the clan head." Chu Hongfei continued to mock.

"Chu Hongfei, I advise you to watch your words." Facing the arrogant Chu Hongfei, Chu Yuan's face turned cold.

"Uncle, am I wrong? The victor insults the loser, that's my right as the winner." Chu Hongfei said nonchalantly, "By the way, Uncle, I guess you've already lost the chance to become the clan head."

"Don't be angry, blame your two sons for not being competent. If they could defeat me, the clan head position might really be yours."

"But unfortunately, the winner is me, Chu Hongfei, not your two sons, ha ha..." Chu Hongfei's猖狂的笑声渐行渐远。

此刻，楚枫怒火中烧，但只能隐忍。楚鸿飞欠下的债，他早晚要连本带利讨回来，只是不能是现在，因为他不能破坏族会的规矩。

尤其是在，他父亲竞选族长的关键时期，他绝对不能给楚渊带来任何负担。

就这样，族比落幕，楚鸿飞成为了族比的胜利者，同时也成为了公认的，楚家小辈第一人。

楚鸿飞与其父楚南山，俨然成为了这场族会的最大胜利者。人们都认为，在楚鸿飞夺得族比第一名后，楚南山赢得族长之位的可能性更大。

事实上也的确如此，楚元霸亲自将族比第一名的奖品颁发给了楚鸿飞，并且还让楚鸿飞坐在他身边，观看接下来的族会内容，眼神中充满了溺爱。

“楚家小辈，倒是有些本事，不过可惜，终究只是限于楚家而已。”然而，就在楚家宣布小辈族比已经落幕之际，一道充满讽刺意味的声音突然响起。

定睛望去，所有人都不由一愣，只见在观众席的某处，竟站立着一名少年。

少年不过十七八岁的模样，但一双眼睛却异常凌厉，此刻正用鄙视的目光盯着楚元霸身边的楚鸿飞。

“你是谁？竟敢在我楚家撒野。”有人高声问道。

“我乃一等宗门百变宗的内门弟子，梨树镇许家，许强之子，许天一。”

“另外我来此不是撒野，只是想与楚家的同辈中人切磋一番，讨教讨教罢了。”许天一潇洒地从观众席走下，来到了一座比斗台上。

“许强，你还敢说你不是来捣乱的，看看你教出的好儿子。”见许天一竟公然挑战楚家小辈，楚家的长辈们极为不悦，一个个将矛头指向了许强。

“你们紧张什么，我儿说得很清楚，只是切磋讨教而已，又不是生死决斗。”

“不过，你们若心里没底，觉得楚家小辈的确无能，无法胜过我儿许天一的话，我们倒是可以就此离开。”许强淡淡地笑道。

他这样一说，将楚家置于绝境。若不应战，日后定会被沦为笑柄，所以眼下只有一条路可选。

Chu Feng was burning with anger but had to endure it. He would settle the debt owed by Chu Hongfei sooner or later, but not now, as he could not violate the rules of the clan meeting.

Especially during the critical period of his father's campaign for the clan head position, he absolutely could not burden Chu Yuan with any issues.

Thus, the clan competition concluded, with Chu Hongfei emerging as the victor and being recognized as the first among the young generation of the Chu family.

Chu Hongfei and his father, Chu Nanshan, were clearly the biggest winners of this clan meeting. People believed that after Chu Hongfei won the first place in the clan competition, the likelihood of Chu Nanshan becoming the clan head was even greater.

Indeed, Chu Yuanba personally awarded the prize for the first place in the clan competition to Chu Hongfei and even had Chu Hongfei sit beside him to watch the rest of the clan meeting, his eyes filled with affection.

"The young generation of the Chu family does have some talent, but unfortunately, it is limited to the Chu family alone." However, just as the Chu family announced the conclusion of the young generation's competition, a voice filled with sarcasm suddenly rang out.

Everyone was taken aback as they looked and saw a young man standing in a certain section of the audience.

The young man, who appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, had exceptionally sharp eyes. At that moment, he was staring at Chu Hongfei, who was sitting beside Chu Yuanba, with a look of disdain.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Chu family?" someone shouted.

"I am an inner disciple of the first-rate sect, the Hundred Transformations Sect, and the son of Xu Qiang from Lishu Town, Xu Tianyi."

"Furthermore, I am not here to cause trouble, but to challenge the young generation of the Chu family for a friendly match and to learn from them." Xu Tianyi walked down from the audience seats with a graceful stride and stepped onto a combat platform.

"Xu Qiang, how can you still claim you are not here to cause trouble? Look at the son you have raised," the elders of the Chu family were extremely displeased, and they all directed their criticism at Xu Qiang.

"Why are you so anxious? My son has made it clear that he is here for a friendly match, not a life-or-death duel."

"However, if you lack confidence and believe that the young generation of the Chu family is indeed incompetent and cannot defeat my son, Xu Tianyi, then we can leave right now," Xu Qiang said with a faint smile.

By saying this, he put the Chu family in a difficult position. If they did not accept the challenge, they would surely be ridiculed in the future. Therefore, they had only one choice.
