Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: The Trial Begins

When the Su Family’s group arrived at the Mu Family’s gate, the Tang Family and the Yang Family were already there, each bringing twenty disciples.

Including the Mu Family’s members, the total number reached eighty-five.

As the host of each competition, the Mu Family can have five extra slots, which is also why the Four Great Families rotate as hosts.

Subsequently, everyone boarded the Mu Family’s Flying Boat heading to Xindi Water City.

This time the location for the joint competition of the Four Great Families was set at Xindi Water City.

Originally, Xindi Water City was just a third-class city in Cloud Dragon Kingdom, named because of its proximity to Flowing Sky Gorge.

However, two years ago, this Water City was occupied by a group of bandits and mountain raiders. The martial artists and civilians in the city became their slaves, and this news was only discovered by Cloud Dragon Kingdom two years later.

Cloud Dragon Kingdom then issued a bounty, assigning the task of clearing Xindi Water City to the Four Great Families closest to Tian Que City.

This bounty was issued a week ago. Originally, the Four Great Families only needed to dispatch a few Creation Realm Experts to complete the task.

But considering the trial for the children of the Four Great Families, they decided to make clearing Xindi Water City the competition venue.

This task is not easy since among the water bandits are those at the Peak of the Nirvana Realm and Half-step to Creation Realm.

As for the real Creation Realm Experts, there’s currently no exact information; otherwise, the Four Great Families wouldn’t dare risk their descendants.

For the safety of their children, the experts from the Four Great Families will stand by outside the Water City, ready for rescue at any moment.

Therefore, each participant was given a Jade Slip. If they encounter danger, they just need to crush the Jade Slip, and the experts outside will immediately come to their aid.

Due to its proximity to Flowing Sky Gorge, Xindi Waters is actually more like an island, originally built on it, therefore the city has mountains, jungles, and waters, making the terrain complex.

Additionally, because of the white mist above the sea, a natural Divine Soul barrier is formed, weakening the martial artists’ Soul Power, making it difficult to detect others.

Shortly after, the Mu Family’s Flying Boat stopped above Xindi Waters.

"Everyone, begin your competition from here. Remember, your task is to assist the martial artists and civilians within the city and join forces with the martial artists already there to slay the water bandits."

"Your score will be calculated based on the number of water bandits killed and their cultivation strength. The Jade Slip has been enchanted with a spell, so once you kill a bandit, it will automatically record the score."

After the Mu Family Patriarch explained the competition rules, he opened the Flying Boat’s sails, allowing everyone to disembark.

This competition has a total of eighty-five participants, the top ten will receive generous rewards and a chance to be recommended to study at Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

Yunlong Heavenly Palace is the most powerful academy in Cloud Dragon Kingdom, its students are among the top figures in Central State, so it can be said that Yunlong Heavenly Palace is a dream cultivation place for countless martial artists.

Although these ten slots are jointly recommended by the Four Great Families to Yunlong Heavenly Palace, it doesn’t mean everyone will be selected.

Even so, every time the Four Great Families’ children compete for this slot eagerly because being able to enter Yunlong Heavenly Palace is like a leap over the dragon gate, symbolizing immense opportunity.

At the first word of the Mu Family Patriarch, those responsible for protecting the children of the Four Families, the Creation Realm Experts, were the first to disembark from the Flying Boat.

Then, the rest also formed small teams, grouping together, slowly descending to the Water City below.

No one dared to act alone, as they were completely unaware of this fog-covered Xindi Water City, for safety, choosing naturally to travel together.

In the Su Family, two teams were formed, led respectively by Su Dongyu and Su Yun, Lin Chen.

Su Xiao naturally joined Lin Chen and Su Yun’s team. Since the last incident, she has been told by her grandfather to establish good relations with Su Yun and Lin Chen.

Even without her grandfather’s advice, Su Xiao planned to do so herself.

After all, the once dispirited Su Yun has undergone a transformation; the former Su Yun has come back.

Su Qi also wanted badly to join Su Yun’s team, but under the threatening icy gaze of Su Dongyu, she had to team up with him.

"Kid, wait, you’ll get yours in a bit."

Su Dongyu looked at Lin Chen with cold eyes filled with killing intent. Currently, his hatred for Lin Chen exceeded that for Su Yun.

However, what Su Yun didn’t expect was that Su Lie unexpectedly walked with them.

Su Yun looked at him confusedly, while Su Lie pursed his lips, appearing quite displeased.

"What is it? Is it because of what happened before in Secluded Orchid Mountain Range, you’re unwilling to let me follow?"

Su Lie looked directly at Su Yun, asking aloud.

Su Lie always focused on the matter rather than the person. In the past, Su Yun’s performance was indeed like that of someone useless, so he naturally didn’t treat Su Yun well, after all, Su Yun’s behavior indeed matched that of a useless Young Master.

However, Su Lie never deliberately targeted Su Yun like Su Dongyu did, at most occasionally mocking him, but there was hardly any deep hatred.

"I don’t care who you choose to follow. But if you want to follow my boss, then it depends on whether he agrees."

Su Yun looked at Su Lie, waved his hand, and said.

Su Yun didn’t mind Su Lie following him.

But since the incident between Lin Chen and Duan Yuanfeng, everyone’s attitude toward Lin Chen changed, hence everything needs Lin Chen’s consent.

If Lin Chen disagrees with Su Lie following, Su Yun would unhesitatingly let him leave. After all, during the Secluded Orchid Mountain Range incident, Su Lie not only yelled at his boss but also insulted him.

"Well, Lin Chen, boss, last time it was my fault for not recognizing the mountain. Consider me just a fart and let me go. This time I sincerely want to follow you, as long as you give the word, even if you want me to climb mountains or descend into the sea of fire, I will not frown an inch."

Su Lie said with a fawning expression to Lin Chen.

Before departure, his father gave special instructions that he must ingratiate himself with Lin Chen; perhaps their lineage will rise miraculously because of this.
