Section 41

It was his father, Su Zhan, who was flushed with excitement.

He boasted to several Family Chiefs who were close to him, saying, “That’s my son, my son!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Fourth Heaven-Incinerator! How domineering! How domineering! He even incinerated the heavens! Isn’t that awesome?!”

The rest of the people also echoed him, their eyes filled with fervent anticipation.

Unlike Su Bu Ku, Su Yan was genuinely from a branch Family, and now he had also entered this sequence.

It was clear that what the Clan Chief said was not false; from now on, the Su Family truly had no distinction of high or low status, everything depended on talent and strength!

This also made the branch Family members, who had been somewhat worried, feel a surge of excitement.

As long as one’s strength was sufficient and their talent was Heaven-Defying, they could obtain all resources in the Su Family and grow freely.

Not only could they enter the sequence, but they would also have their own exclusive Spirit Peak and exclusive title, which was an unparalleled incentive for young people.

It must be said that Su Zhou had a firm grasp on the Heart-Nature of youths.

“Ding! Detected the Su Family’s excited sentiment, cohesion, and competitiveness increasing. Family Luck +500!”

“Ding! Affected by the Qi Luck Golden Dragon, Family Luck additionally increased by 1000!”

“Ding! Family Luck has reached 30,000. Family resource package has been issued. When Family Luck reaches 100,000, the next stage reward can be obtained!”

The System’s prompt kept ringing, but Su Zhou ignored it and continued to announce.

“Next...”

“Su Yang!”

“Bone age fourteen, External Manifestation Realm sixth level...”

“Controls Heavenly Dao Sword Intent!”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Su Family immediately erupted into an uproar.

“Bone age fourteen!!!”

“Holy crap!! Is that real or fake? No way!! No way!!”

“What kind of Prodigy is this?!”

“I’ve heard that name, Su Yang! He’s that Genius who comprehended Sword Intent!”

“I remember now! The Green Mountain Sword Sect, the Great River Sword Sect, and the Immeasurable Sword Sect had all come to recruit him as a disciple, but he rejected them all!”

“Heaven protects the Su Family; to think there’s such a Prodigy.”

Over the past year, Su Yang had been busy cultivating and leveling up, gradually being forgotten by the Family members. They only vaguely remembered that the Su Family had such a peerless Genius.

But no one had ever expected Su Yang’s strength to reach such a level.

Even Su Yan and Su Bu Ku were surprised.

They were familiar with Su Yang; in their memories, Su Yang always hid in his room, diligently Cultivating, but they never expected this kid to have reached such a Realm without a sound!

Su Yang quickly stepped out of the crowd.

“Clan Chief!” The fourteen-year-old Su Yang had not yet fully grown. The long sword at his waist was taller than him, making him look somewhat comical, but no one dared to mock him.

“From now on, you will be the Su Family’s Second Sequence. You are granted the title Second Sword Master, awarded the Spirit Peak Sword Master Peak, and may come to Lingxiao Peak for guidance at any time.”

“You may enter the Contribution Pavilion and choose three treasures.”

“Additionally, you are awarded an External Manifestation Realm mount, the Blazing Wind Heavenly Steed!”

“Su Yang, thank you, Clan Chief!” Su Yang bowed, but his brows furrowed.

He was actually the Second Sequence. It seemed there was an even more Heaven-Defying existence in the Su Family than himself.

“My Family is truly full of hidden Dragons and crouching tigers...” Su Yang thought to himself.

The remaining Family members were also very curious. Su Yang, with his age, talent, and Realm, was not even the first in the sequence.

Just how terrifying was the Su Family’s First Sequence!

Su Zhou stood above, scanning the Family members with a faint smile.

During his year of secluded Cultivation, a little monster had indeed appeared. If he hadn’t detected a subtle anomaly with his Divine Sense earlier, even he would have been fooled.

“You are the Su Family’s First Sequence. You are granted the title First Longevity, awarded the Spirit Peak Longevity Peak, and may freely enter and exit Lingxiao Peak.”

After Su Zhou finished speaking, he said no more, only casting an insignificant glance at a plain-looking young man in the crowd.

“First Longevity, who is this person?!”

“It looks like he should be our Family’s supreme Prodigy, hidden by the Clan Chief!”

“Who on earth can be granted such a title?!”

“Longevity!! Longevity. This title is grand!”

The Family members discussed spiritedly.

“Brother Longevity... this First Sequence’s title is actually the same as yours.” A mischievous young girl said with a smile.

Su Changsheng, who was beside her, gave a dull smile: “I can’t compare to him...”

“Hmph! Of course not, Brother Longevity only carves wood, and he doesn’t even fight back when others bully him.”

Hearing this, Su Changsheng chuckled, saying nothing, allowing the little girl to scold him.

But a glint of light flashed in his seemingly dull eyes.

“Sure enough, I couldn’t hide it from the Clan Chief...”

“The Clan Chief didn’t expose me, so it seems he wants me to secretly meet him. Should I go in my true body, or use a more realistic Puppet...”

“No, no, the reason I have these resources to Cultivate now is all thanks to the Clan Chief... But... there’s still danger... But if the Clan Chief intends to kill me...”

“Oh dear, oh dear, I’ll surely die, I’ll surely die... What should I do... What should I do...”

Su Zhou looked at Su Changsheng in the crowd, a slight smile on his lips.

That red-grade Family member hadn’t appeared yet, but he had found a guy with a Longevity-style Path of the Coward protagonist template.

He didn’t intend to expose the other party’s way of doing things. He believed that if this guy was smart enough, he would know what he should do.

Afterward, Su Zhou continued: “I believe everyone has seen that from now on, everything in the Su Family will be divided according to strength.”

“Ignoring the previous branch Family System, the higher the strength, the higher the offerings!”

“The stronger the strength, the more resources!”

“In addition, all Family members’ monthly allowances and resources will be tripled compared to before!”

“For the Su Family’s hundred-member sequence, the last fifty will have their resources quintupled, the top thirty will have their resources tenfold, and the top twenty will have their resources fifteenfold!”

“As for the top ten...”

“Granted titles! Awarded Spirit Peaks! May enter Lingxiao Peak for guidance at any time, and... all resources will be...”

“Fiftyfold!”

As soon as these words came out, the entire Su Family immediately erupted into an uproar. This was a real benefit that would directly affect them! Even ordinary Family members’ resources were tripled. If they could enter the sequence...

The benefits were simply unimaginable!

For a time, a raging fire seemed to burn in the hearts of countless Family members.

What branch Families, what collateral lines, all were cast aside. Becoming one of the sequences became their greatest aspiration.

Chapter 50: The Enemy of the Clan's Destruction, His Name... Hua Xu!!

Next, Su Zhou further refined the rules of the sequence.

The first batch of the top ten in the sequence would be personally designated by Su Zhou, while the remaining sequences would be selected through the Family Grand Competition.

All Family members had the right to challenge the sequence, and once victorious, they could directly replace the challenged member.

This not only kept the Family members with the strength to enter the sequence vigilant to avoid any upsets.

It also made some Family members’ hearts surge with excitement, wanting to shout the words Su Yan once said.

“Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, do not bully a young man into poverty!” Give me that sequence position!

As for the original branch Family Chiefs and the main Family stewards, they were all incorporated into the Lingxiao Council, breaking up the original System.

With his younger brother, Su Chao, as the President, only those whose strength reached a certain level and who obtained Su Zhou’s permission could join the Council.

The Lingxiao Council would deliberate on major and minor decisions of the Su Family and finally report them to Su Zhou.

Whether a decision passed or not would be determined by Su Zhou’s single word.

Under Su Zhou’s new policies, the entire Su Family began to operate like a giant machine, running at high speed.

The Family members excitedly discussed future developments, and many who wanted to challenge for a sequence position set off without delay.

Some went hunting in the mountains, some took on Family missions, and others directly entered secluded Cultivation.

Of course, there were also a few capable Family members who wanted to challenge Su Yan, who had the lowest Realm in the sequence.

However, they all fell under his Heaven-Reaching Ruler. Even when Su Yan allowed three of them to team up, they were still knocked down by a single wave of heat from that ruler.

Some also looked at Su Yang, who was still young, thinking they had a chance to take advantage, but Su Yang didn’t even draw his sword. A single Heavenly Dao Sword Intent made the challengers tremble with fear.

Only then did everyone exclaim, realizing that the sequences personally appointed by the Clan Chief were not only exceptionally talented but also possessed astonishing combat power.
