Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 165 - Clan Meet

Chen Fan's cultivation progress and Xiaobai's awakening doubled the joy.

Chen Fan walked out with Xiaobai in his arms. Some servants walking in his direction saluted and greeted him, and Chen Fan nodded with a smile in response.

“Ah, the Young Patriarch just nodded at me and smiled.”

“No, he smiled at me!”

"The more I look at the Young Patriarch, the more handsome he seems."

“......”

The maids passing by all felt excited, but it was understandable.

In the recent battle, Chen Fan had displayed invincible might and overwhelmed the whole place. He had forced even a Yuanfu realm expert to kneel before him!

The transformation in his image, coupled with his innate handsomeness, naturally stirred the hearts of these maids.

“Young Patriarch," Wang Tieshan, patrolling with a team of soldiers, greeted.

After achieving great merits, he had obtained plenty of rewards and advanced to the sixth level.

“Congratulations, Uncle Wang!” Chen Fan naturally noticed Wang Tieshan’s cultivation at a glance and congratulated with a smile.

Wang Tieshan waved his hand and said, “Compared to the Young Patriarch, I’m so far behind.”

“Continue your patrol, Uncle Wang, I’ll have a stroll around.” Chen Fan smiled and walked ahead, carrying Xiaobai.

“Commander, Young Patriarch has become even stronger.” The team of soldiers in iron armor behind him looked at Chen Fan’s back, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.

Wang Tieshan said, “That goes without saying. Young Patriarch is like a god among us mortals. His cultivation speed isn’t something we can comprehend.”

Chen Fan overheard what Wang Tieshan had and couldn’t help but smile on the inside.

A god among mortals?

Only he knew the difficulties he had faced.

As he leisurely strolled, people of all statuses treated Chen Fan with fear and respect.

Currently, in the Chen Clan, Chen Fan’s prestige was already above that of Chen Tianxiong and Chen Zhengqing.

Chen Fan’s image of invincibility in the battle half a month ago lingered in every Chen Clan member's memory.

Their young patriarch wasn’t a martial trash but a god in this mortal world—a monstrous genius capable of defying the heavens, killing Yuanfu realm experts while being a Qi Grandmaster.

“Young Patriarch.”

In a stone pavilion, Chen Fan met the new Grand Elder.

Chen Tianyin used to be the Grand Elder, but his betrayal left the position in the Second Elder Chen Tianshi’s care.

“Grand Elder, what is the clan’s situation like now?” Chen Fan asked.

The Tan and Liu clans had deep roots in Xuanyang City, as they had been here for centuries.

The Chen Clan’s recent victory had helped them gain the two clans’ businesses, but Chen Fan didn’t know how things had progressed in the last half a month.

Chen Tianshi said, “Young Patriarch, the two clans’ businesses are on the right track. Except for the chaos in the beginning, things have become orderly, and the businesses have started generating profit for the clan.”

“Mhm, that’s good.”

Chen Fan nodded. He didn’t have to concern himself with these things as long as things were on the right track. “Grand Elder, with the new year approaching in three days and our Chen Clan dominating Xuanyang City, let's celebrate with something special. Organize a clan meet for our younger generation to compete among themselves.” f reewe bnovel

Chen Fan wanted to nurture a group of young, talented, and loyal clansmen. This meet would serve as an opportunity to identify those who were skilled, strong, and devoted.

“Of course, we won’t limit it only to the descendants of our clan. The descendants of the clan’s troop commanders can also join. The clan will generously reward those who excel in the meet.”

Chen Tianshi naturally wouldn’t oppose the idea. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll get it done right away.”

At present, no one would oppose Chen Fan’s orders.

As news of the clan meet spread, excitement erupted throughout the Chen Clan.

Not only the Chen Clan's descendants but even the offspring of commanders like Wang Tieshan were thrilled.

The younger generation in the Chen Clan, numbering three to four hundred individuals between twelve and twenty years old, expanded to five to six hundred when including the children of private troop commanders. Everyone applied enthusiastically to participate in the event.

Three days later:

In the square in front of the Chen Clan mansion, magnificent fighting arenas were constructed, each stretching a hundred meters in length and width. Ten arenas stood in a straight line, accompanied by rows of seats for spectators.

These seats were now filled with people, and Chen Fan occupied the best spot among the crowd.

Chen Fan naturally wouldn’t be competing on stage. After all, given his strength, it would be unfair to others if he were to compete.

“The clan meet is about to begin! Today, we’ll hold the qualifiers to select the top hundred participants," announced Chen Tianshi, causing the buzzing square to hush immediately.

“This time, we have six hundred and thirty people participating in the clan meet. They will be divided into ten groups and assigned to the ten fighting arenas. Let the grouping begin...”

Soon, the participants were sent to the fighting arenas.

“The rules of the qualifiers are as such. Each fighting arena will have sixty-three contestants participating in single combat. The top ten in each group with the most wins will advance to the next round of the competition.”

Chen Fan’s gaze swept across every contestant, nodding to himself.

The Chen Clan’s younger generation had decent strength. The stronger ones were at the sixth level, and the weaker ones were at the first or the second level.

“Alright, each contestant should know their group and the rules by now. Let’s have Young Patriarch Chen Fan say a few things to everyone,” declared Chen Tianshi.

Swish, swish.

Immediately, countless gazes fell on Chen Fan.

Calmly rising from his seat, Chen Fan surveyed the crowd before he said cheerfully, “I’m thrilled that everyone participated in this clan meeting so enthusiastically. All of you will become the pillars of our Chen Clan in the future. Our Chen Clan will depend on you to protect and develop it in the future. I hope to see more and more Qi Grandmasters in the clan soon, perhaps even Yuanfu realm experts.

“I shan’t bother with excessive pleasantries. I encourage everyone to give their best in this clan meet, showcasing your talents and strengths. The clan will generously reward exceptional performers. Now, let the clan meet commence.”

As Chen Fan’s voice fell, the Chen Clan’s clan meet officially began.

Immediately, fierce primeval qi ripples erupted from the ten fighting arenas.

At the spectator seats, the Chen Clan’s elders watched the younger generation exchange moves fiercely and energetically, nodding repeatedly and praising those with decent strength performing well.

The others around the square also discussed among themselves.

......

Meanwhile, outside Xuanyang City:

“Third Elder, we’ve arrived at Xuanyang City.”

A group of people appeared outside Xuanyang City.

This group of people were riding tall and fit horses. Every one of them had vigorous auras and extraordinary cultivation.

“We’ve arrived, huh...”

The leader was an elder with a goatee, his gaze sharp as a blade.

Looking at the city wall, he clenched his fist, and a palm seal shot out, instantly bombarding the “Xuanyang City” characters. The city wall crumbled, causing panic among those entering or leaving the city.

“Let’s go, trample Xuanyang City’s Chen Clan!”

The elder waved his arm with a cold expression, icy killing intent surging from him.
