Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Advance with a Bye [34th Update] Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Advance with a Bye [34th Update] Li Chongjiu’s eyes, aged and profound, swept over the stage, and when they passed over Li Yan’s headless corpse, he merely glanced indifferently and said, “Li Yan was inferior in skill, Li Xiaoyao even spared his life once, but since he did not cherish it, his death is more than deserved.”

Hearing this, Li Zhuo immediately grew anxious, “But… ”

“Li Zhuo, as an Ancestral Elder of the Li Family, you should set an example. Rules are rules, and Li Xiaoyao did not break any. Everything will proceed as usual. If there is a next time, I will deal with you according to our clan’s laws. Now, get off the stage.” Li Chongjiu’s tone was utterly unapologetic, and although Li Zhuo was furious, he was powerless to do anything.

How could he not know that Li Xiaoyao had not violated any rules? He simply could not accept that Li Zhuo, whom he had wholeheartedly nurtured, was killed by Li Xiaoyao as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

He could not accept this outcome.

But today, in the presence of the Clan Leader and the Grand Elder, he knew he had no way to kill Li Xiaoyao. In fact, as long as Li Xiaoyao remained within the Li Family, with the strength he showed today, even he would not be able to kill him.

The only chance was outside the Li Family.

Only if Li Xiaoyao left the Li Family would he have a chance.

...

A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years, Li Zhuo told himself.

Li Xiaoyao stared at the corpse of Li Yan at his feet, feeling a strong impulse to cut open his Dantian and seize the Golden Core, but he ultimately resisted this urge.

Please, this was the Ancient Li Family. Killing was indeed within the rules, but if he dared to take someone’s life for their Golden Core, he feared he would be immediately punished by the clan’s laws.

As Li Xiaoyao walked down from the stage, the clan members followed his moves with eyes full of awe.

Li Xiaoyao shook his head helplessly. With every move he made, he always became the center of attention. This feeling of always being in the spotlight, well, it really was quite helpless.

The remaining battles commenced, with only Li Longxiang’s match catching Li Xiaoyao’s interest.

The fights of the others were routine and their cultivation levels were mediocre, offering nothing worth watching.

The first round of the clan competition continued until one o’clock in the afternoon.

Immediately afterward, it was time for the second round of drawing lots.

Everyone, including the three Li Longxiangs, prayed in their hearts not to encounter Li Xiaoyao, for if they did, the top three ranks were destined not to be theirs.

Li Xiaoyao was certainly aware of their thoughts and couldn’t help but touch his nose, as he had become quite the figure people feared.

Out of the twenty-two clan members, only eleven remained after one round, meaning this round would surely have one person getting a bye, advancing directly to the third round.

When it was time to draw lots, Li Xiaoyao was the first to step forward, with no one competing with him.

He drew casually, and while taking a bamboo slip, Li Xiaoyao laughed, “I’ve always been lucky, maybe I’ll draw a blank one.”

The people thought to themselves that it would be great if he really could draw a blank slip, to not tease their spirits.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a bamboo slip from the cylinder, and all eyes were glued to the slip.

“White!”

“It’s empty!”

“It really is a blank slip!”

Li Xiaoyao looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, feigning surprise as he raised an eyebrow, then laughed, “Wow, my luck really is explosive, to have drawn the blank slip. Sorry everyone, but I’m advancing first.”

Casually tossing the blank slip on the table, Li Xiaoyao smiled and turned to leave.

There was nothing more to watch. His battlefield was tomorrow when the top six would become three. As for who his opponent would be, he wasn’t in a hurry to know.

Whether it was Li Qinglong, Li Longxiang, or Li Fenghua, it made no difference to him.

The three Li Longxiangs watched Li Xiaoyao’s retreating back and the blank slip on the table, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The heavens had shown favor – thankfully, they had not crossed paths with that fearsome figure.

The Ancestral Elders looked at their expressions and were truly at a loss for words.

After all, they were the most talented cultivators of the Ancient Li Family, reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm by the mere age of thirty, and their future accomplishments were boundless.

But now, they were scared out of their wits by Li Xiaoyao.

This year, the Li Family of Xuan Country indeed produced an extraordinary genius.

Li Zhan and several Ancestral Elders had their hearts moved by a love for talent.

Being in their positions and levels, encountering one or two geniuses in their lifetimes was definitely a great joy. If they could personally nurture a genius to success, that sense of achievement was something money could never buy.

This was also why, after Li Yan was killed, Li Zhuo had such an intense reaction.

Li Xiaoyao was the first to leave the clan competition scene and returned to his room to begin cultivation.

After cultivating for a little more than an hour, he suddenly felt a warmth in his chest.

“What’s going on?” he muttered to himself. Li Xiaoyao looked down and pulled open his shirt, only to be surprised to find that the azure snake tattoo on his chest was faintly flickering with dazzling light.

“Could it be… it’s awakening?” Just as he was thinking this, the Azure Dragon tattoo suddenly disappeared, as if nothing had happened at all.

Li Xiaoyao smirked, grumbling, “That was really… a false alarm.”

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Li Xiaoyao concentrated his mind and entered a state of cultivation.

A night passed without incident.

The next day, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes from cultivation, exhaled lightly through his nose, and two white vapors sprouted from his nostrils, extending over a meter long before slowly dissipating.

“Forbidden grounds, you better not disappoint me!” Getting off his bed, Li Xiaoyao talked to himself, full of anticipation for the legendary place said to drastically increase one’s cultivation level and hold tremendous opportunities.

The square.

Today, there was no decrease in the number of clan members present, but only six remained in the end.

Li Xiaoyao quickly scanned the area and was somewhat surprised.

Li Fenghua, Li Qinglong, and Li Longxiang had not faced each other yesterday?

Such luck was truly against the heavens.

You should know that the more this kind of clan competition was about comparing rankings, the more it relied on luck towards the end.

Li Xiaoyao guessed that the draw must have been tampered with by Li Zhan, to some extent.

After all, with Li Longxiang and the others being so powerful, if they had been eliminated early on, wouldn’t that be a loss for the Li Family?

“Draw lots.”

Li Zhan didn’t waste words and threw a bamboo tube onto the table.

This time, Li Longxiang was the first to draw a lot, followed by Li Fenghua, and then Li Qinglong.

The three of them released their grip on the bamboo sticks bearing the numbers as if betting on luck, looking at the sticks with a bit of caution and timidity.

One, two, three!

The three of them drew three different numbers; none of them matched each other.

Had there been no Li Xiaoyao, they would have breathed a sigh of relief if they drew these lots, for it meant they were guaranteed the top three spots.

But the presence of Li Xiaoyao meant that one of them was destined to battle him, and facing Li Xiaoyao in battle meant that one of them would be eliminated.

In the face of absolute power, any confidence was nothing but futile self-comfort.
