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 of the Xiao Family's descendants 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 Xin 'er's branch was the direct line of descent, and Xiao Xin' er was the eldest daughter of the direct line of descent. Thus, Xiao Xin 'er's status was very noble. However, the line of descent was not unchanging. If the family line could not produce outstanding clansmen, the next generation of the family head would be someone else from the direct line.
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 bloodline had produced high-grade guardian spirits.
Xiao Xin 'er's grandfather only had one son, Xiao Xin' er's father. Thus, the Xiao Clan's Patriarch lineage was very small.
It could be said that there were only two members of the younger generation in the clan head's line, and that was Xiao Xin 'er and her younger brother.
Xiao Xin 'er's little brother's intermediate Guardian Spirit was very ordinary, and he had no advantage in the Xiao Family. If Xiao Xin' er could not rise up, Xiao Xin 'er's little brother alone would not be able to support the family head. The next generation of family head position would most likely be taken away by other direct descendants.
Once she lost the right to be the family head, Xiao Xin 'er and her brother's resources would be taken away from them. Her family would be suppressed and would completely decline.
Although Xiao Xin 'er didn't care about the resources of the Xiao Family, she would never allow her family to decline. She also didn't 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 Xin 'er 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. No matter what, you can crush the other clansmen. 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 Xin 'er said.
"Sister, you're here!"
A rather handsome youth walked towards Xiao Xin 'er. This youth was Xiao Xin' er's younger brother, Xiao Ling, who was two years younger than Xiao Xin 'er. Not long ago, he had awakened a mid-level Guardian Spirit.
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 perform well in the family competition. He would only be able to make use of the situation.
Xiao Xin 'er's father and grandfather were both higher-ups of the clan, so they sat on the chairs on the platform of the Xiao Clan's plaza, looking down.
On the high platform.
A white-bearded elder of the family smiled at the family head Xiao Batian beside him and said,"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 embarrass herself 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'll wait 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 after another, creating a grand scene.
"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's competition. All the younger generation from 16 to 20 years old must participate in the competition. The first round of the competition tests the guardian spirit's level and potential!”
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 Xin 'er 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 Xin 'er asked Lin Tian. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:11PM
