The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

100: Xueqin wins quickly in the first ten rounds of the battle.With the top ten determined.

On the battle stage, the seats for the top ten were lifted by Golden Core Cultivators using Spiritual Energy, hovering directly above the stage. Jiang Feng tapped his toe and landed firmly in his designated spot, and Jiang Xueqin did the same.

At this moment, the bloodstains on Jiang Xueqin’s face had been wiped clean, the hand holding the Short Sword no longer trembled, and her expression was filled with greater determination. Many Cultivators who saw this scene nodded secretly.

”What a pair of Young Heroes! Where is this Jiang Family from? Why have I never heard of them before?”

A voice asked, full of confusion and doubt.

But his question also caused others to shake their heads. In previous Qingfeng Martial Meets, they had never heard of this so-called Jiang Family, yet this time, this unexpectedly appearing Jiang Family actually had two Clan Members enter the top ten simultaneously.

One must know this was the top ten! With so many people in the entire Yuan Kingdom, which of the other eight in the top ten hadn’t achieved fame at a young age? Although they hadn’t seen them, they had heard of their renown as Geniuses.

Yet, Jiang Feng and the other person were unheard of, but they managed to stand out among this group of Geniuses.

”Although we haven’t heard of them, after today, the Family they belong to is about to completely rise up.”

At this moment, another person couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, wishing their own Family could also possess such Geniuses.

”Rise up? I’m afraid it won’t be that easy. Look at the Zhao Family’s expression; the Jiang Family might have a hard time in the future.”

A voice pouring cold water rang out, causing them to freeze for a moment, then realize: yes, just look at the initial animosity between the Jiang Family and the Zhao Family.

The whispers drifted into Jiang Chen’s ears with the wind, but he paid no attention, merely curling his lips into a slight smile.

”Alright, the Ranking Battle officially begins now. This competition is not only fair but also meant to select the strongest individual. Luck is useless here; everything depends on strength. Each of you will fight the other nine people. The one with the most victories will be ranked first, and so on.”

Above the battle stage, the Golden Core True Person’s voice sounded faintly, causing the hearts of those participating in the ranking to sink immediately, and their gazes toward Jiang Feng and the other person became somewhat complex.

Above the battle stage, as the Golden Core True Person’s voice fell, the ten suspended seats suddenly began to tremble.

The next second, the seats moved closer in pairs as if they had spirits, instantly transforming into five brand-new, equally sized Fighting Platforms. Spiritual Energy Barriers rose up, completely enveloping each platform.

Jiang Feng looked at the Young Man who appeared in front of him. He hadn’t noticed before, but upon closer inspection now, the Young Man actually resembled Huangfu Shenghua somewhat, causing Jiang Feng to be momentarily stunned.

”Ten-person Round Robin Tournament. One point is awarded for each victory, the loser receives no points, and forfeitures count as a loss! The competition starts now.”

The Golden Core True Person’s voice sounded again.

Almost simultaneously, a Hundred Zhang tall Golden Screen materialized out of thin air directly above the battle stage, though it was completely blank at the moment.

”Huangfu Qingquan greets Young Brother Jiang. Huangfu Shenghua is my older Cousin. I hope you will go easy on me later.”

While Jiang Feng was still dazed, Huangfu Qingquan’s voice reached him, prompting him to look at Huangfu Qingquan again.

”You are a member of the Royal Family.”

After Jiang Feng said this, he immediately wished he could find a hole to crawl into. The remark was utterly redundant. The innate Nobility between the opponent’s brows, coupled with the exact same features as Huangfu Shenghua, clearly marked him as a Direct Descendant of the Royal Family, so why did he need to point it out?

Hearing this, Huangfu Qingquan laughed heartily, cupped his hands in greeting, and displayed a magnanimous demeanor.

”Young Brother Jiang, there is no need to be reserved. My Cousin Shenghua and I are brothers. A few days ago, he mentioned to me that he has a good relationship with your Clan Chief of the Jiang Family, and that the Jiang Family Disciples are all outstanding. Seeing Young Brother Jiang today, you truly live up to your reputation.”

The main reason was that Jiang Feng had eliminated Zhao Qing and the others too easily. Although he was confident he could deal with Zhao Qing and the few others, he definitely couldn’t do it as casually and effortlessly as Jiang Feng.

Of course, what he said was also true. After Huangfu Shenghua returned to the Manor, he visited him and learned some things about the Jiang Family.

Jiang Feng steadied himself, collected his thoughts, and returned the salute: ”Brother Qingquan, you flatter me. I am undeserving.”

”There’s no need for further formalities.”

Huangfu Qingquan flipped his wrist, and an entirely pristine white Long Sword appeared in his hand. A small Dragon-patterned Jade Pendant hung from the Sword Tassel, glittering brightly under the sun.

”Since this is a sparring match, we must bring out our true abilities. Young Brother Jiang, please enlighten me!”

Before his voice faded, Huangfu Qingquan’s figure swept out like a gentle breeze. The Long Sword was drawn, and the Sword Light was like silk, carrying a gentle yet formidable Spiritual Energy, stabbing directly towards Jiang Feng’s shoulder.

This sword strike looked soft, but the angle was tricky. It avoided vital points while simultaneously blocking Jiang Feng’s retreat, clearly intended as a non-lethal move.

Jiang Feng’s gaze sharpened. Not daring to be careless, he twisted his wrist, and the Long Sword at his waist was drawn, instantly wreathed in Dark Black Spiritual Energy. His steps shifted, and his figure dodged the sword edge like a phantom, while he flipped his wrist, and his Long Sword, carrying a sharp sound of breaking wind, counter-slashed towards Huangfu Qingquan’s wrist.

”Good Swordsmanship!”

Huangfu Qingquan praised him, skillfully twisted his wrist, and lightly flicked his sword blade, neutralizing Jiang Feng’s attack. The two sword edges collided, producing a crisp Clang of Metal. The Residual Spiritual Energy spread out, causing slight ripples in the Fighting Platform’s Spiritual Energy Barrier.

Just as the two were entangled in battle, the Golden Screen above the battle stage suddenly lit up, and two names, like streaks of light, appeared sequentially. The number at the end of one was ”1,” while the other was ”0.”

Two names appeared on the Golden Screen:

Jiang Xueqin: 1

Lin Yue: 0

It turned out that the battle on Jiang Xueqin’s side had already ended. Jiang Xueqin had defeated her opponent with a single move, displaying absolute superiority.

”Those whose battles have ended should wait temporarily until the others have determined their winners before proceeding to the next round of combat.”

Seeing Jiang Xueqin defeat her opponent so quickly, the Golden Core True Person above spoke again. Primarily, he hadn’t expected someone to have already won the match after only a Few Breaths of Time.

”Holy cow, that Jiang Family Little Girl is too fierce! I didn’t even react, and she’s already defeated her opponent?”

As soon as this was said, the crowd below instantly erupted, the sound of discussion almost overturning the Martial Arts Tournament Plaza.

”More than just fierce! Did you see? Lin Yue’s Long Spear hadn’t even been fully drawn when it was flicked away by her Short Sword! That speed, that accuracy, it’s simply Miraculous Skill!”

A Burly Man yelled at the top of his lungs, his eyes wide as copper bells.

”Before, I thought she was just riding on Jiang Feng’s coattails, but now it seems she fought her way into the top ten purely by strength.”

Next to him, an Old Man dressed in a Green Robe stroked his beard, his face full of astonishment.

”The Jiang Family is going Heaven-Defying! Two Clan Members, both so young, and each one more powerful than the last. It seems the top ten of this Qingfeng Martial Meet will have half the spotlight monopolized by this Brother and Sister pair!”

Some were filled with envy, wishing they could also produce such Genius Descendants.

”What do you all think, did Jiang Xueqin hold back on that last sword strike? When Lin Yue fell, he didn’t even have a scratch, clearly meaning she stopped short of injury.”

”Nonsense! Although those two Children from the Jiang Family are ruthless, they aren’t Bloodthirsty Killers! They used lethal force against the Zhao Family group because the Zhao Family initiated the Killing Intent first!”

Discussions rose and fell—some expressing astonishment, some analyzing, and others already starting to place bets on what final rank the Jiang Family siblings would achieve.

And on the Viewing Platform at the very front, the Emperor of Yuan Kingdom looked at Jiang Xueqin’s conspicuous ”1” on the large screen, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
