I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Water dragon turtle displays its mightSun Mo spoke, ”Clan Chief Shangguan, your Shangguan Family already has a High-Grade Spirit Stone mine. Why not let this one go to our Sun Family?”

Shangguan Yun smiled and said, ”Clan Chief Sun, it’s not certain yet that the Spirit Stone mine will belong to our Shangguan Family; it might be your Sun Family’s.”

Sun Mo thought so too. The Sun Family had also invited two experts to help this time.

At this moment, Qin Yi and the Water Dragon Turtle walked over. Behind them was a person dressed in a black robe whose face could not be seen; this was Qin Yi’s Clone.

Suddenly, the scene fell silent. Seeing the Black-Robed Man behind Qin Yi, everyone’s thoughts varied.

Shangguan Yun was the most worried, thinking, ”Who is this Black-Robed Man? Could he be an expert invited by Qin Yi?”

If that were the case, then the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine would surely belong to the Qin Family.

Some leaders of smaller forces thought that the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine might have nothing to do with the three major powers anymore.

Simultaneously, everyone was extremely curious. Who would dare to help the Qin Family? Weren’t they afraid of offending the Great Origin Sacred Land?

Qin Yi could guess a thing or two about everyone’s reactions. He smiled and stood to the side, waiting for the competition to begin... A streak of light flew over, and Han Xing appeared.

Han Xing looked at the crowd and said, ”Sorry to keep you all waiting. The competition for the Spirit Stone mine begins now.”

”There are four forces participating this time. To save time, two pairs of forces will compete simultaneously.”

”Then the two victorious forces will compete again. The final winner will gain ownership of the Spirit Stone mine. Do you have any objections to this?”

Shangguan Yun spoke, ”My Shangguan Family has no objections.”

Subsequently, Gu Tianming and Sun Mo also expressed their lack of objections.

Han Xing looked toward Qin Yi’s side, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he thought, ”Who is this Black-Robed Man? How dare he help the Qin Family?”

Qin Yi spoke, ”My Qin Family also has no objections.”

Han Xing nodded and said, ”Since you all have no objections, let’s begin now.”

”Qin Family versus Sun Family, Shangguan Family versus Gu Family.”

As he spoke, Han Xing pointed his fingers, and two beams of light shot out, forming two arenas on the ground.

Qin Yi said, ”Water Dragon Turtle, I’ll take the first match. You go up for the second one.”

The Water Dragon Turtle replied, ”Alright, you go up first.” As it spoke, it hopped off Qin Yi’s shoulder.

On the other side, the Sun Family sent a middle-aged man in black. He was a helper invited by the Sun Family, with a cultivation at the Martial Emperor Second Level.

The middle-aged man in black stepped onto the arena, cupped his hands, and said, ”Patriarch Qin, I choose to concede.”

The middle-aged man in black naturally knew of Qin Yi’s strength—he was someone who could annihilate the Fengyun Society. He wouldn’t be so foolish as to try and compete with Qin Yi.

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”Very well.”

Afterward, both Qin Yi and the middle-aged man in black left the arena.

No one in the crowd found the black-clothed man’s concession strange. Instead, their gazes turned to the Black-Robed Man on Qin Yi’s side, curious about his strength.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

An old man in white with a transcendent air faced off against Gu Tianming. The Old Man in White Clothes released a Martial Emperor Third Level Aura and defeated Gu Tianming in just two moves.

Gu Tianming’s expression was grim as he left the combat arena. He said, ”Clan Chief Shangguan, you certainly are capable, being able to invite a Martial Emperor Third Level expert to assist you.”

Shangguan Yun burst into laughter and said triumphantly, ”Clan Chief Gu, the two people I invited are both Elders of Qingfeng Valley, and their cultivations are both at the Martial Emperor Third Level.”

”Barring any accidents, the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine belongs to my Shangguan Family.”

As he spoke, Shangguan Yun looked toward the Qin Family’s side to gauge the Black-Robed Man’s strength, but Qin Yi had only just stepped down.

Gu Tianming said sarcastically, ”Clan Chief Shangguan, I hope you do get the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine; otherwise, your Shangguan Family will likely suffer a heavy loss.”

Shangguan Yun’s heart jolted, and he felt a pang of anxiety. To get the Qingfeng Valley Elders to help, he had paid each of them one hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

If they secured the Spirit Stone mine, it would be fine, but if they failed, the Shangguan Family would have lost two hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones—a massive loss indeed.

Shangguan Yun said stubbornly, ”The Spirit Stone mine will definitely be my Shangguan Family’s.”

Gu Tianming smiled, knowing that Shangguan Yun was currently panicking, so he stopped provoking him.

Gu Tianming understood that the Gu Family had no chance at the Spirit Stone mine, so he looked toward the arena on Qin Yi’s side.

Shangguan Yun also looked toward Qin Yi’s side with a tense expression.

At that moment, the Water Dragon Turtle said excitedly, ”Alright, it’s my turn to take the stage now.”

As it spoke, the Water Dragon Turtle quickly flew to the center. Its size began to grow until it was like a small mountain, and its emperors might radiated outward.

Hiss!

Everyone looked on in astonishment. They never expected the unremarkable little turtle on Qin Yi’s shoulder to be a Martial Emperor Realm Yao Beast.

Sun Mo’s face was filled with shock as he said, ”I will fight you.”

As he spoke, his Martial Emperor Second Level Aura burst forth, his Spiritual Qi swirled, and he struck out with a massive palm.

”Wave-Breaking Palm!”

The giant palm carried turbulent waves and surged forward rapidly, the sound of flowing water echoing deafeningly in the air.

The Water Dragon Turtle said excitedly, ”Just in time! Taste my Rushing Water!”

As it spoke, the Water Dragon Turtle’s Martial Emperor Third Level Aura was fully displayed. Surging currents appeared before it, tumbling rapidly.

The churning water carried immense energy as it crashed forward.

With a loud boom!

Sun Mo was struck by the torrent. His body was sent flying backward, and he crashed to the ground.

”Puff!” Sun Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal Aura in total disarray.

The Water Dragon Turtle said proudly, ”Now you know how powerful I am! I held back just now; otherwise, you’d be too heavily injured to even stand.”

Sun Mo spat out another mouthful of blood with a ”puff.” He, the head of the Sun Family, was actually being looked down upon by a turtle.

However, the Water Dragon Turtle was telling the truth, and he couldn’t refute it. Sun Mo cupped his fists and said, ”Thank you for showing mercy.”

The surrounding crowd was stunned, their hearts deeply shaken.

The unremarkable little turtle on Qin Yi’s shoulder was actually a Martial Emperor Third Level Yao Beast, with a cultivation level that surpassed everyone present.

Shangguan Yun’s face turned ugly, and he remained silent. Now that there was another Martial Emperor Third Level Water Dragon Turtle, he felt that the Shangguan Family was essentially out of the running for the Spirit Stone mine.

Gu Tianming laughed heartily, as if it were the Gu Family that had secured the Spirit Stone mine.

Seeing that the winners and losers of the two arenas had been decided, Han Xing’s eyes filled with surprise. He announced, ”The first round of the competition is now over. Next, the Qin Family and the Shangguan Family will compete.”

As he spoke, only one arena remained on the field.

Qin Yi was still the first to go up, while for the Shangguan Family, the weakest among them, Shangguan Yun, stepped forward.

Since no one on his side could defeat Qin Yi anyway, it was best for the weakest to go up and concede, making the most strategic choice.

Shangguan Yun cupped his fists and said, ”Patriarch Qin, I concede.”

Qin Yi shrugged helplessly. With his strength, he didn’t even need to fight; they would concede automatically.

Then, the Water Dragon Turtle excitedly stepped onto the arena. Representing the Shangguan Family was the Old Man in White Clothes.

The Old Man in White Clothes cupped his fists and said politely, ”This old man is Ling Fengzi, an Elder of Qingfeng Valley. I have come to fight Your Excellency.”

The Water Dragon Turtle was not only powerful but also a member of the Qin Family, so it was best not to offend it.

The Water Dragon Turtle waved its limb and said excitedly, ”Alright, stop wasting time. Let’s fight!”

Ling Fengzi’s gaze grew solemn. His Aura surged as he prepared to use his full strength to face the Water Dragon Turtle.
