The night was silent.
The next day.
The day of the Xiao Family's Family Competition in Feilan City had arrived. Today was also the annual grand ceremony of the Xiao Family. Many Xiao Family disciples would come back from all over the world to participate in the family competition.
The Xiao family was a large family that was divided into direct descendants and many collateral descendants.
Xiao Xiner's branch was the direct line of descent, and Xiao Xiner was the eldest daughter of the direct line of descent. Thus, Xiao Xiner's status was very noble. However, the family head's branch was not unchanging. If the family line could not produce outstanding clansmen, the next generation of family head would be someone else from the direct line of descent.
Because of this, every family competition was a time for scheming and infighting. It was a time for the various branches to show their strength.
Xiao Xin 'er's younger brother had only awakened a middle-grade guardian spirit, while Xiao Xin' er's guardian spirit was recognized as a mortal-grade guardian spirit. However, the other branches of the direct line of descent had produced high-grade guardian spirits.
Xiao Xiner's grandfather only had one son, Xiao Xiner's father. Thus, the Xiao family's patriarch lineage was very small.
It could be said that there were only two members of the younger generation in the family head's line, and that was Xiao Xiner and her younger brother.
Xiao Xin 'er's brother's mid-level Guardian Spirit was very ordinary and did not have any advantage in the Xiao family. If Xiao Xin' er could not rise up, Xiao Xin 'er's brother alone would not be able to support the family head. There was a high possibility that the position of the next family head would be taken away by other direct descendants.
Once she lost the right to be the family head, Xiao Xiner and her brother's resources would be taken away from them. Her family would also be suppressed and completely decline.
Although Xiao Xiner did not care about the resources of the Xiao Family, she would not allow her family to decline. She also did not want her marriage to be controlled by the family. Therefore, she had to shock the entire Xiao Family in today's family competition.
As long as she displayed her powerful talent and strength, there would definitely be many branches supporting the family head's line.
On the Xiao family square.
Xiao Xiner walked towards the square step by step, her expression a little nervous. Lin Tian, who was in the Guardian Spiritual Space, said,"Xin 'er, don't be nervous. You can crush the other clansmen in any aspect. What are you afraid of?”
"I know, but I'm still a little nervous. This family competition is too important to me. Those elders want me to marry into other families. If I don't perform well, it will be troublesome.”Xiao Xiner said.
"Sister, you're here!"
A relatively handsome young man walked towards Xiao Xiner. This young man was Xiao Xiner's younger brother, Xiao Ling, who was two years younger than Xiao Xiner. He had awakened a middle-level guardian spirit not long ago.
Because he had just awakened his guardian spirit, Xiao Ling's strength was not very strong. He had only reached the third stage of the Physical Body Realm. With such strength, he would not be able to show off in the family competition. He would only be able to make use of the situation.
Xiao Xiner's father and grandfather were both high-ranking members of the family, so they sat on the chairs on the platform of the Xiao family square and looked down.
On the high platform.
A white-bearded elder of the family smiled and said to the family head Xiao Batian,"Patriarch, how's your precious granddaughter's cultivation going? She only managed to awaken a Mortal-class Guardian Spirit after three awakenings. With such talent, it's a waste of resources to continue cultivating. In a few days, it's better to go and settle the marriage with the third young master of the Zhao family. This will be better for our Xiao family and your bloodline.”
Xiao Batian snorted coldly." Hmph, Xiao Fei, my granddaughter is still young. She's not in a hurry to get married. Who said that my granddaughter will definitely lose face this time? She might even perform very well!"”
"Mortal-class guardian spirit, you told me that your granddaughter performed well? Hahaha!" Xiao Fei laughed and waved his hand." Fine, I won't argue with you. I'm just waiting to see your granddaughter's 'good' performance!!!!”
Xiao Batian's face was solemn, as if he was not affected by Xiao Fei's words. However, the worry in the depths of his eyes was very obvious.
He was the head of the Xiao family, a powerhouse at the peak of the Blood Transformation Realm.
Body, Marrow Cleansing, Blood Transfusion, Innate…
The peak of the Blood Transfusion Realm was only one step away from the Connate Realm. In Feilan City, he was considered a top figure. However, his lifespan was still that of an ordinary person. Only when he stepped into the Connate Realm and transformed into the Connate Body would his life force increase, and his lifespan would reach 500 years.
He didn't have much time left, and in a few years, he would have to step down from the position of family head.
As for his son, he was relatively mediocre. He had only reached the sixth level of the Marrow Cleansing realm at the age of forty, and his talent was not very high. In addition, his granddaughter and grandson were not favored by the heavens. There were definitely not many elders and higher-ups in the family who supported his son to succeed the position of the family head.
"Sigh, if one of my granddaughters or grandsons gave birth to a high-grade guardian spirit, the other branches would definitely continue to support my lineage. What a pity! A middle-grade guardian spirit and a mortal-grade guardian spirit. There was not much hope at all!”Xiao Batian sighed to himself.
As time passed, the grand ceremony of the family competition began.
The ceremony began. All members of the Xiao family began to worship their ancestors and kowtowed to the heavens.
"Bye!"
Xiao Batian shouted.
Whoosh!
Thousands of Xiao clansmen kowtowed one by one, the scene was extremely grand.
"Bow again!"
Xiao Batian said.
After nine consecutive kowtows, the ritual of offering sacrifices to the ancestors was considered to have ended.
At this moment, a deacon of the Xiao family walked out and stood in front of the high platform. He said,"Today is the day of the Xiao family competition. All the younger generation who are above the age of 16 and below the age of 20 must participate in the competition. The first round of the competition tests the level and potential of the guardian spirit!”
Guardian spirits were divided into ordinary, elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels, but they also had potential. However, ordinary testing methods could not test the potential of a Guardian Spirit, but using the Guardian God Stone could test the potential of a Guardian Spirit.
This potential represented the future achievements of the guardian spirit. Under normal circumstances, the higher the level of the guardian spirit, the higher the potential. However, there were often some special guardian spirits that were born. These special guardian spirits were obviously not high in level, but their potential was very high. However, the probability of such a situation was even lower than winning the lottery.
"Level! Potential!"
Xiao Xiner silently recited.
Her guardian spirit was previously recognized as a Mortal-tier, but now it was definitely not a Mortal-tier. At the very least, it had reached the low-tier level.
"Lin Tian, how high do you think your potential is?”
Xiao Xiner asked Lin Tian.
