Chapter 2532: Chapter 2534: You’re Such a Bragger!
The Qinghuang Sect’s martial arena.
Vast beyond measure.
It could hold tens of thousands of people.
At this moment it was already packed to the brim.
The Four Great Surnames and the experts from the other surnames had all arrived.
They sat down in separate sections.
In the most eye‑catching spot, four seats had been arranged.
Those were for the four patriarchal ancestors of the Four Great Surnames.
In addition, there was another seat placed at the most prominent, and also the most comfortable position.
That one was reserved for the War God King.
The four old ancestors were all old monsters who had lived for over a hundred years.
Their strength was also unfathomable.
No one dared disobey the words of the four old ancestors.
In fact, their word carried far more weight than the Qinghuang Sect Master’s.
Below the four old ancestors sat the Family Heads of the Four Great Surnames.
They were precisely Huang Qingshan, Huo Dongshan and the others.
The rest sat in order, grouped by the Four Great Surnames.
The other surnames, meaning those who didn’t belong to the Four Great Surnames, aside from the high‑level figures, were all in the outermost ring.
Xiao Chen had been arranged among the people of other surnames.
And at the most inconspicuous spot.
The intention was simply not to let anyone notice his existence.
The Huang Family ancestor, Huang Yong, was high‑spirited and vigorous.
After all, for these past four years, the Sect Leader had been from their Huang Family.
So he sat there with the greatest imposing air.
"Good! Very good!
Since the founding of the Sect, the Four Great Surnames of the Qinghuang Sect have always been here.
And now, talent keeps emerging from them.
In the entire Dragon Country, our Qinghuang Sect is a force that can shake the whole situation."
Huang Yong said with a smile, "Among the Four Great Surnames, the ones who’ve performed the best are Huang Qingshan and Huo Dongshan.
These four years.
You’ve all done very well.
The other two surnames are a bit weaker.
But still very good.
Even if we don’t count the Qinghuang Sect, the Four Great Surnames are definitely at the Superior Grade Martial Family level!
I only hope we don’t turn on each other.
Competition is competition, but everyone should put their strength toward one place.
All push forward tirelessly for the development of the Qinghuang Sect."
"Old Huang is right, that’s my thought as well."
The Huo Family ancestor also said with a smile.
"What the four old ancestors say is absolutely true, we will certainly obey.
And we also wish the four old ancestors long life, to protect our Qinghuang Sect."
Everyone rose to their feet and shouted loudly.
Only Xiao Chen sat there, too lazy to even stand up.
The Qinghuang Sect’s development was indeed good, but one word from him could make the Qinghuang Sect vanish into smoke on the spot.
"Sit down, all of you. Since we’re going to compete, let’s first talk about the merits of the Four Great Surnames.
This counts as the first step in the Sect Leader selection!"
Huang Yong spoke.
Huo Dongshan stood up and said, "Then I’ll just throw out a brick to attract jade.
Our Huo Family’s development over these four years hasn’t been that great.
We can only say we’ve squeezed into the ranks of Superior Grade Martial Families, that’s all.
Ever since the Martial Artist Ban Order was lifted.
Our economic development has been fairly good.
We now own a large group corporation.
With a market value of around one billion Gemstone Currency.
We’re a bit weaker in other areas.
The sons and grandsons of our clan are doing alright in Guangcheng, just a mere Deputy City Lord of Guangcheng, that’s all.
And some sons and grandsons in the army have only mixed their way up to a mere thousand‑man commander.
I really feel embarrassed to say it.
In terms of Martial Dao, our Huo Family is one of the very best in the entire Dongguang Prefecture."
This was obviously bragging, yet he put on a hypocritically modest front.
It made Xiao Chen full of contempt.
But most of the others were shocked.
Economy, Martial Dao, officialdom—he was strong in all three.
The Huo Family truly was determined to win the Sect Leader’s seat this time.
Huo Dongshan knew that his opponent this time was essentially the Huang bloodline.
The Huang bloodline was on par with them economically.
In officialdom they were inferior.
In Martial Dao they were about the same.
So what he needed to suppress them with was the officialdom track.
"Good! Worthy of being one of the Four Great Surnames of my Qinghuang Sect, and also the pride of my Qinghuang Sect!"
The Huo Family ancestor burst into loud laughter.
The Huang Family ancestor, Huang Yong, didn’t look so pleased.
This Huo Family was actually this outstanding?
Huo Dongshan looked smugly at Huang Qingshan and showed a hint of a smile. "These four years, Brother Qingshan, you’ve been the Sect Leader.
Borrowing the prestige of the Qinghuang Sect, I’m sure you’ve greatly developed the Huang surname, right?"
Huang Qingshan let out a cold laugh and stood up. "To be honest, on the officialdom path, our Huang Family really can’t compare to the Huo Family.
The only one who’s made some headway is my second brother’s son, Huang Sen."
Huo Dongshan frowned. "Huang Sen? That guy who went to take the War God Army assessment? What could he possibly amount to?"
Huang Qingshan smiled and said, "Huang Sen had high talent since childhood. In Martial Arts, there’s no need to say more.
The War God King has always been his idol.
So he willingly gave up the comfortable life of the Family Clan to go to the War God Army.
Who would have thought, that kid’s performance.
Really took me by surprise.
He not only became part of the War God Army.
He even became a member of the War God Guard in the shortest time.
Rapid promotion.
Now, he’s already a Deputy Commander of the War God Guard.
It’s just a deputy position though, really makes everyone laugh at us!"
His voice rose a lot on that last sentence.
"Impossible!"
Huo Dongshan was dumbfounded.
Deputy Commander of the War God Guard?
That was one of the War God King’s closest favorites.
If that were true, then everything his Huo Family had done would turn to floating clouds.
They wouldn’t even need to hold a martial contest.
Just Huang Sen alone would be enough to crush them.
"For real?!"
Everyone present was staring, eyes wide and mouths agape.
Even the four old ancestors were shocked.
Because that was too incredible.
A Deputy Commander of the War God Guard.
That wasn’t just a personal guard of the War God King.
He was also someone right at the War God King’s side.
This was a bit too damn awesome.
No one could compare with that.
"Huang Qingshan, you’re really fucking good at bragging!"
Suddenly, in the silent arena, a voice rang out.
It was Xiao Chen.
He had come today specifically to crash the party.
And now that he’d run into Huang Qingshan bragging.
Of course he had to stand up.
He couldn’t let someone ruin his reputation.
Ruin the reputation of the War God Guard.
That Huang Sen guy did have some strength.
But he was a textbook rich wastrel who couldn’t endure hardship.
He skipped training all the time.
In the end failing the assessment was only natural.
He was directly eliminated by the War God Army.
He’d been hiding in Longcheng, too scared to come back.
Yet in Huang Qingshan’s mouth, he’d actually become a Deputy Commander of the War God Guard?
If the War God Guard heard this, they’d be furious to death.
The War God Army didn’t even have such a piece of trash.
Let alone the War God Guard.
The first requirement for the War God Guard was the ability to endure hardship, not fearing suffering.
Strength could be cultivated.
But character was hard to change.
Because no one else was talking, Xiao Chen’s voice sounded especially harsh.
Everyone turned to look this way.
Xiao Chen simply stood up.
Like a crane among chickens.
When he saw it was Xiao Chen, Huang Qingshan nearly exploded with rage.
The brat really had come to cause trouble.
Deliberately making things difficult for him.
When Huo Dongshan saw Xiao Chen, he instead laughed.
After hearing Xiao Chen’s words, he laughed even more.
But what he said out loud was, "A fellow of another surname speaking whenever he likes, with no sense of rules at all.
Stand up."
"People of other surnames should have the self‑awareness of other surnames, get out here."
The four old ancestors were all displeased.
Especially Huang Yong, who was practically coughing up blood from anger.
This was supposed to be the Huang Family’s moment of peak glory, and it had actually been ruined by a little bastard.
Now things were a bit awkward.
"Four old ancestors, this guy seems to be the grand‑disciple of Sect Leader Huang Qingshan."
Someone shouted.
That was definitely someone from the Huo Family doing it on purpose.
