316: The Wuhui began, Lin Fan's opponent! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Lin Fan followed Gu Yuntian's gaze and saw a large group of people also pouring into the venue not far away.

"Who are they?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and asked Gu Mengqi beside him.

Gu Mengqi's voice was a bit low as she said, "These are people from the Wei Family."

"People from the Wei Family, huh..." Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, recalling Wei Song and the group of Wei Family members he had killed on Xuanling Island.

Upon careful sensing, their Qi did indeed feel somewhat similar.

The leader of the Wei Family was a man dressed in gray.

On his back, he carried an exaggeratedly shaped saber, from which a sharp and domineering Saber Qi faintly emanated.

Beside the man with the saber, there was another slender figure with a smiling face.

This person's appearance looked quite ordinary, but he subtly exuded a very sinister aura, like a venomous snake hidden in the grass... "That man with the saber is Wei Zhen of the Wei Family, considered the strongest among the younger generation of the Wei Family. He has Cultivated the Wei Family's Mountain Saber Technique to the point of Major Achievement," Gu Mengqi introduced to Lin Fan in a soft voice.

"As for the person next to Wei Zhen, he is Ghost Spear Chen Luo, the chief Disciple of Old Man Evil Bone, who is an Elder of Evil Wind Cave."

"The chief Disciple of Old Man Evil Bone, huh?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, recalling the black-robed Immortal Symbol Master at the Minor Achievement stage whom he had killed on Xuanling Island; that person also seemed to be a Disciple of Old Man Evil Bone.

It seems the Wei Family has a good relationship with Evil Wind Cave!

Afterward, Gu Mengqi introduced Lin Fan to the strong young cultivators of the Song Family and Su Family.

Among them, the strongest of the Song Family's younger generation was named Song Chen, and the leader of the Su Family was named Su Yan. Both possessed the strength of the peak Early Stage of Life Profound Realm.

Lin Fan's gaze swept over them, and he nodded slightly, not paying too much attention.

The so-called young generation powerhouses of the major Families didn't even have a single Life Profound Realm Great Accomplishment cultivator; in front of him, they were not worth mentioning at all... Time slowly passed amidst the fervent atmosphere, but the Martial Arts Tournament did not start immediately.

Under the control of the five major Families, some strong cultivators from various factions were sparring and exchanging blows on the many platforms.

Many strong cultivators wanted to showcase their strength here to attract the recruitment of the five major Families.

Although this would mean losing some freedom, it would provide excellent Cultivation conditions; one could only say that different people made different choices.

Lin Fan sat in the Gu Family's designated seating, watching the competitions as if they were a circus performance, which was quite an interesting experience.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that the deafening clamor gradually subsided.

The Martial Arts Tournament of the five major Families was finally about to officially begin.

At the center of the mountaintop, there was a spacious plaza.

At this moment, an Elder from the Shen Tu Family stood suspended in mid-air above the plaza.

"The Martial Arts Tournament is held annually, so I presume the rules need not be reiterated. It remains the same: drawing lots to determine opponents, with each Family sending out three people."

The Elder's resonant voice boomed through the ears of everyone present.

As the Elder's voice fell, a halo of light rose from his hand. Within the halo, four rotating light-slips could be seen.

Whoosh!

As the halo appeared, Gu Mengqi immediately stood up. The people from the other three major Families also rose. They extended their palms, and a surge of suction erupted, each grabbing a light-slip from within the halo, then abruptly pulling back.

Swish!

As the light-slip emerged from the halo, a beam of light extended from it. When the light-slip landed in Gu Mengqi's hand, that beam of light also extended, finally connecting to another light-slip.

And the position where that light-slip landed was in the direction of the Su Family.

Lin Fan's eyelids slightly lifted as he glanced at Su Yan across from him, who held the light-slip.

The latter seemed to sense Lin Fan's gaze, also looked over, and gave a faint smile, a strong Battle Intent in his expression.

"Our first-round opponent is the Su Family..." Gu Mengqi looked up, gazing in the direction connected by the light-slip, her eyes flickering as she murmured softly.

Immediately, she extended her jade hand, and the light-slip in her hand instantly split into three, offering them to Lin Fan and Gu Yan, saying, "You two also draw lots. This will randomly decide your opponents."

Gu Yan was the first to reach out and grab a light-slip. As soon as the light-slip was in her hand, a beam of light shot out from its tip, then extended towards the Su Family's direction, connecting with a tall Su Family man.

"It's Su Qin of the Su Family..." Gu Yan looked at the man, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she murmured.

After Gu Yan, Lin Fan also casually grabbed a light-slip, and then the beam of light extended.

Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, it connected to the light-slip in Su Yan's hand from the Su Family.

Clamor!

As this connection appeared, a hubbub immediately spread around the plaza. Gaze after gaze swept over Lin Fan, and whispers quickly spread.

"That person doesn't seem to be from the Gu Family? He must be an external aid invited by the Gu Family, but why is he so unfamiliar? Does anyone here know him?"

"It seems there's no such person in the Tianfeng Sea Region. I wonder where the Gu Family invited this unknown individual from!"

"Tsk tsk, the Gu Family seems to be a bit unlucky this time. That Su Qin is second only to Su Yan among the younger generation of the Su Family. Gu Yan's match is probably a lost cause."

"Adding Su Yan's match against the Gu Family's external aid, the Gu Family might lose two matches in a row..."

"..."

Hearing the many whispers around them, the people on the Gu Family's side remained calm, without the slightest worry.

Are you kidding? Even Elder Gu Shuo was no match for Lin Fan. Su Yan of the Su Family still wants to win against Lin Fan? That's simply wishful thinking!

"Xiao Yan's side is a bit troublesome. That Su Tai has already entered the Life Profound Realm. If they fight, her chances of losing are greater. It seems we'll have to rely on Brother Lin Fan in this first round," Gu Mengqi said softly after seeing their draws.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "No worries, just leave it to me."

"Enter the arena," Gu Mengqi said, a gentle smile appearing on her face. She waved her jade hand, taking the lead and soaring out, then landing on a spacious platform below.

"Lin Fan, we're counting on you this time," Gu Yan gave Lin Fan a wry smile, then soared out. She clearly knew that she would most likely lose her match.

Lin Fan's expression was calm. With a movement of his body, he quickly landed on one of the platforms, then his gaze fell upon Su Yan.

At this moment, Su Yan's gaze also turned over. A faint smile appeared on his unusually slender face. He tapped his toes, and a whooshing sound filled the air as he directly appeared on the platform where Lin Fan was.

"Since everyone has entered the arena, let the competition begin. Also, during the exchange of blows, fists and feet have no eyes, and any injuries sustained are your own responsibility."

In mid-air, the Elder from the Shen Tu Family scanned the arena, then said indifferently.

Boom!

As his voice fell, a majestic surge of primal Qi erupted from the three plazas. Immediately, figures intertwined in two of them, and battles instantly began.

Countless gazes converged on the last platform, where the two individuals showed no immediate signs of engaging.

"Su Yan of the Su Family."

Su Yan's gaze swept over the other two platforms where battles had already begun, then he gave Lin Fan a faint smile and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Lin Fan," Lin Fan stated his name indifferently, then added, "You go first. Otherwise, you might not get a chance later."

Clamor!

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the area around the plaza immediately erupted in an uproar. (End of Chapter)
