CHAPTER 977: CHAPTER 550: DO NOT REVEAL YOURSELF—REMEMBER THIS!

When Chen Daqian saw the expression on Sili Qiu’s face, he couldn’t help but squint his eyes. But the next second, he suddenly laughed heartily, "Haha, so that’s how it is! However, now that the competition is over. Nephew, it would be best to come to my side quickly. After I announce the results, I will definitely host a banquet to entertain both Brother Wuwo and you, our distinguished guests."

During his speech, the Chen Family members on the platform all exchanged glances, already sensing something amiss.

After listening, Sili Qiu remained unmoved, instead continuing to smile and say, "Master Chen is too polite. But there’s no rush for a banquet. This junior has just witnessed so many exciting matches, my heart is still racing, and I just feel an itch in my hands that needs to be scratched."

At this point, Sili Qiu changed his tone, cupped his hands, and said, "Master Chen, this junior now has an impromptu request to spar with the illustrious peers of your family. Be it one person or a group, haha, I would be very welcoming!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately drew numerous angry glares, and someone even shouted from the crowd, "Arrogant brat, haven’t your elders taught you what manners are? Go home quickly!!"

"Silence!"

Before the voice had fallen, Sili Wuwo suddenly became furious and immediately roared, "Who just shouted that?"

After speaking, Sili Wuwo’s gaze swept coldly across the crowd, accompanied by the terrifying aura of a Golden Core Master enveloping the entire scene, causing thousands of the Chen Family’s disciples to immediately fall silent, the field suddenly becoming as silent as a grave.

At this moment, Chen Daqian coughed lightly, and an extraordinary powerful pressure suddenly erupted from him, casually "shattering" Sili Wuwo’s momentum, and then dissipated instantly.

"Brother Wuwo, why bother with a reckless child. Isn’t it just that our nephew wants to spar with someone? I will fulfill his wish."

After Chen Daqian calmly finished speaking, his gaze turned toward the arena.

At this moment on the arena, aside from Zhao Sheng’s indifferent expression, Chen Mingyin, Chen Minglong, and the other nine strong contenders were all excited, looking eager to try.

Meanwhile, on the White Jade High Platform, a group of Chen Family Elders were whispering to one another.

"Brother Cheng, things look dire! The Sili Family indeed sent someone again to suppress the younger generation. If it turns out like last time, where one person swept through everyone, it could greatly damage the spirit of this generation. I wonder if your foster son can regain some face for us," the red-bearded elder whispered worriedly.

Chen Dacheng was also filled with anxiety, pausing for a moment before replying via voice transmission, "Xi’er has only been cultivating for a few years and has yet to reach the Qi Refining Great Perfection Realm. In contrast, the Sili Family is clearly prepared. By normal calculations, that little Sili rascal, though yet to reach Foundation Establishment, has strength definitely more powerful than ordinary Foundation Establishment first or second level cultivators. Although Xi’er’s Sword Dao talent is exceptional, I’m afraid he’s no match for him."

"Alas, this is troublesome! Mingyin and Minglong’s abilities, though far beyond ordinary Qi Refining Perfection, should not be able to surpass realms, they surely aren’t the opponent of that little rogue."

"In my opinion, we should let Mingxi go on stage. The child is young, even if he loses, it’s understandable."

"Brother Da You, your remark is mistaken. Though Mingxi is young, he is still the first in the competition. If he were defeated within a few rounds, wouldn’t it just prove the Chen Family lacks talent?"

"Everyone, don’t panic, let’s see how the Family Head responds!"

As the Chen Family Elders were secretly communicating, an old, vernacular voice suddenly reached Zhao Sheng’s ears, "Young man, when you go on stage later, use more sword, talisman, and puppet techniques. Never reveal your spiritual power attributes. Even if you lose, don’t reveal them, remember, remember!"

Zhao Sheng raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding.

It turns out the Sili Family sent someone to provoke not only to suppress the young generation of the Chen Family but also harbored such intentions in secret.

He nodded slightly, and in a barely audible voice, he said softly, "Ancestor, if I go on stage next, would it be better to win quickly, or to intentionally lose once? I ask for Ancestor’s guidance."

Bai Mei, concealed in the shadows, listened to these words, his face showing a moment of surprise, thinking, "This kid has quite the tone, does he really think that just because he’s prematurely condensed Divine Sense and learned a few sword techniques, he can be invincible at the same level? Arrogant and prideful to the extreme. Well, let him hit some setbacks and grind his temperament too."

Thinking of this, Bai Mei sent a message to Chen Daqian while replying, "Kid, since you are so confident. Fine, you first entangle with the opponent for a few rounds, then ’barely’ defeat him. In any case, don’t win too easily, lest it makes people bear you grudges later!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered a few times, instantly understanding Bai Mei’s layered meaning.

At this moment, the gaze of the Family Head, Chen Daqian, landed on Zhao Sheng, and he slowly spoke, "Mingxi, you are the first in the competition, so you shall spar with Nephew Sili. Remember, regardless of winning or losing, do not damage the harmony between the two families. This spar should be done with restraint."

Zhao Sheng stepped forward, cupped his hands to the Family Head, and signaled, "Mingxi keeps the Family Head’s teachings in mind. I will certainly show restraint when the time comes!"

Hehe!

Sili Qiu, after listening, suddenly sneered twice, his foot tapping the ground lightly, his entire person taking off like an arrow from a bow, flying through the hundred zhang void in an instant, landing on the arena, just facing Zhao Sheng.

At this moment, the short, plump elder suddenly spoke, "Everyone else, leave the arena immediately!"

Seeing this, Chen Mingyin and the others turned around and left the arena with varying expressions.
