The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

96: Chapter 96 The Qingfeng Martial Arts Tournament Opens, Heroes Gather on the Battle StageTwo days later, on the Ten Thousand Martial Arts Stage.

The three stages, cast from Millennium Cold Iron, gleamed with a cold luster under the sunlight. Runes flowed across their surfaces, causing the low-level Cultivators who approached to involuntarily hold their breath and focus.

Hundreds of thousands of people packed the entire Ten Thousand Martial Arts Stage area, shoulder to shoulder, gazing at the stages ahead.

In the viewing stands, representatives of top aristocratic Families and Sects took their seats in order, their robes fluttering, their Aura imposing.

However, the seats in the very front, representing the Huangfu Imperial Family, and the seats on the left side were still empty.

“Brother Jiang, follow me.”

At the back of the crowd, Huangfu Shenghua walked ahead, clearing a path, while Jiang Chen led the Jiang Family Clansmen forward.

“There are so many people.”

Jiang Xueqin looked at the bustling crowd before her and couldn’t help but gasp softly, her delicate eyes curiously surveying her surroundings.

She was the youngest, and this was the first time she had witnessed such a grand martial arts event.

Jiang Feng patted her shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Alright, let’s hurry up. Don’t forget the Clan Chief’s instructions.”

Jiang Xueqin stuck out her tongue, quickly nodded, withdrew her gaze, and followed the Clan Members forward.

Huangfu Shenghua led them unimpeded, directly to one of the stages.

“Young Master.”

Seeing Huangfu Shenghua arrive, several people dressed as servants bowed to him.

“Thank you for your hard work. You may leave now; I’ll handle things here.”

Huangfu Shenghua waved his hand at the group, and the servants immediately left, disappearing into the crowd.

“Brother Jiang, this is the spot I specifically reserved for you. The stage ahead is for Qi Refinement Stage battles. The view here is the best; you can take in the entire stage. What do you think?”

At this moment, Huangfu Shenghua turned his head and spoke to Jiang Chen. He had previously informed others to occupy the spot early, and it seemed to have worked.

The reason he chose the Qi Refining stage was that, in his opinion, the Jiang Family Clansmen could only possibly earn some rankings in the Qi Refining category. As for the Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm stages, he didn’t believe they could achieve any ranking, so he hadn’t prepared spots for them.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the seats, and said lightly, “You took the trouble.”

This open space was more than enough for twenty or thirty people, and since the Jiang Family only had about ten members, it was sufficient.

Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with being able to directly watch the Qi Refining Realm battles. He also knew that although eight of his Family Clan Members were in the Foundation Establishment Realm this time, they had only recently achieved the Breakthrough and were not on the same level as those at Peak Foundation Establishment.

As for Fifth Elder, Jiang Chen wasn’t worried. With the Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art and the Nirvana Sword Art, he was among the strongest group of people in the Golden Core Stage.

Of course, even if they couldn’t secure the top spots, Jiang Chen wouldn’t care.

If the top three in the Qi Refinement Stage could obtain a foundation establishment pill, and the top three in the Foundation Establishment Realm could obtain a condensing gold pill, that might still be plausible.

However, the fact that the top three in the Golden Core Stage were rewarded with a nascent soul condensation pill felt far too abnormal to him.

He didn’t believe the Huangfu Imperial Family was foolish. If such a good thing truly existed, why wouldn’t they use it themselves instead of giving it away?

One must know that in the entire Yuan Kingdom, the Huangfu Imperial Family only had three Nascent Soul Ancestors. If they now rewarded three nascent soul condensation pills to the top three, and those were obtained by an opposing force, wouldn’t that be aiding the enemy?

Therefore, he didn’t quite believe it, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t observe the situation.

Time passed minute by minute. Just then, a prolonged chime suddenly rang through the sky. Nine heavy, majestic tolls instantly silenced the clamor of the entire venue.

At that moment, a group of people was seen flying from the Imperial City and landing on the foremost viewing platform.
