510: It's time to let him know who the older sister is!
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Su Family's Adulthood Competition arrived.
The Wang Family Martial Arts Arena was now crowded with countless people; almost every seat was filled.
One must know that the Wang Family Martial Arts Arena could accommodate nearly a hundred thousand people, and almost everyone with some status in Jueyang City had come.
These people all wanted to use this Adulthood Competition to understand the Su Family's specific situation.
At the very top of the Martial Arts Arena sat the people of the Su Family and the other Six Major Families. Although the Su Family now had Su Lan, Su Banhai was not overly overbearing, nor did he truly act as if he were the master.
One must eat one bite at a time; if the other families found it too difficult to accept all at once, it would be disadvantageous for the Su Family.
Therefore, a steady, long-term approach was best.
First, win over some people from the Six Major Families, then slowly expand his influence, and finally swallow all of Jueyang City in one gulp.
It was much like when he seized the position of the head of the Su Family.
Through his own maneuvering, most of the power in the Su Family was in his hands. On the eve of Su Hao relinquishing the position of Family head, Su Hao was already a head in name only; the position was bound to be his sooner or later.
Now, he could use the same method to take over all of Jueyang City step by step.
The corners of Su Banhai's mouth curled up slightly. Although his Aptitude was not top-tier, he felt quite confident in this regard.
Even if Su Lan did not take action, her mere presence as a guardian within the Su Family was enough.
At this moment, the seven Family heads sat together.
The head of the Wang Family, Wang Yun, smiled and said, "Brother Su, the Su Family's strength is so great, yet you've kept this younger brother of yours in the dark quite miserably."
Huh?
The other five families immediately looked at Wang Yun, somewhat dumbfounded. Wang Yun was powerful, and in terms of age, he was nearly three times older than Su Banhai.
Yet here he was, calling himself a 'younger brother.' Was it really that ridiculous?
Sure enough, there was a reason the Wang Family could rise; this level of thick-skinned skill was something the others felt they couldn't even hope to match.
They truly couldn't compare.
Seeing this, the other Family heads also quickly chimed in, "Exactly. Had we known the Su Family's strength was so formidable, we would have sought more opportunities to interact with the Su Family."
Su Banhai also exchanged pleasantries, saying, "Not at all, not at all. My Su Family still has much to learn from all of you."
"Modest, far too modest."
Wang Yun immediately spoke up with a smile, "Brother Su, those words are a bit too modest. It is we who need to learn from the Su Family. Furthermore, since we are all in Jueyang City, my Wang Family will need to rely on the Su Family quite a bit in the future."
"If the Su Family were to learn from us, wouldn't it be awkward to ask for the Su Family's help later?"
It must be said that even Su Banhai felt very comfortable hearing Wang Yun's words.
Su Banhai took a deep look at Wang Yun; this Head of the Wang Family really had something about him.
Sometimes, one can judge a person by their words. The few things Wang Yun said made Su Banhai feel as if the man truly were his subordinate; such mental tactics were definitely not those of an ordinary person.
Echoes of agreement continued to ring out, and the expressions of the Six Major Families became increasingly fawning.
It had to be said that Su Banhai had a way with people, quickly getting the various Family heads to start competing to show their devotion.
The Martial Arts Arena was also filled with constant chatter.
"The Su Family's Adulthood Competition... this is the first I've heard of it. I never knew the Su Family had such a thing before."
"I only just heard of it too. It's different when you're powerful; even an Adulthood Competition gets this much attention."
"But there don't seem to be any young Prodigies in the Su Family, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. I heard the woman who clashed head-on with the Shangyun Sect that day is a junior of the Su Family, only eighteen years old. With the Su Family being so low-profile, I suspect the strength of their younger generation must be unfathomable."
Someone said with a solemn expression.
The Su Family possessed such great strength yet chose to keep a low profile, which meant all previous judgments about the Su Family had to be overturned.
Perhaps the Su Family's juniors were also extremely terrifying.
"Based on my understanding of the Su Family, their only notable Genius might be Su Ao. I know almost nothing about the others, but now, it's hard to say."
Within the territory of the Shangyun Sect, reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm around age twenty is considered good Aptitude, a Genius.
Su Ao is currently at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, so he has a bit of fame in Jueyang City.
Reaching the True Immortal Realm at twenty would make one a true Genius, a rarity even in the Shangyun Sect.
Some children of major powers enjoy very rich resources from a young age, and their Realms are even more terrifying, potentially reaching the Profound Immortal Realm by age twenty.
In the Su Family, that would already be at the level of an Elder.
The Su Family competition soon began, with nearly forty people meeting the requirements.
The six Family heads stopped talking, all looking toward the group of Su Family juniors about to participate in the Adulthood Competition with inquisitive eyes.
With the Su Family possessing such powerful means, these juniors surely couldn't be too bad, right?
Just then, the expressions of countless people changed drastically.
Because they saw Su Lan among the Su Family juniors. Many who didn't know immediately realized—she was actually a Su Family junior?
Doesn't that mean she is very young?
Hiss!
Many couldn't help but gasp; in everyone's eyes, the Su Family became even more mysterious.
In the crowd, Su Lan looked toward Su Chen with a smile on her face: "Little brother, it looks like we might have to compete this time."
According to her expectations, the two in the final round would definitely be herself and Su Chen.
The strongest in the Su Family was Su Ao, but he couldn't even block one of her moves.
Su Chen also nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you."
Uh... Su Lan didn't expect Su Chen to be so confident. One must know that she had already returned to the Middle Stage of the True Immortal Realm, while Su Chen was only at the Earth Immortal Realm.
She had been at the Peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm in her previous life, after all, so her heart was still full of confidence.
With her current strength, she could easily defeat even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. If she used all her means, she might even be able to fight an Immortal King, let alone Su Chen, who was only at the Earth Immortal Realm.
Even if you have some tricks, there's a gap in our actual Realms; how could you possibly defeat me?
A confident smile played on Su Lan's lips as she recalled being outdone by Su Chen at the Spirit Testing Stone previously.
This time, it was time to show this little brother a thing or two and let him know who the 'sister' really was...
