15 Yue Clan’s New Year Tournament, Start!
This morning, Yue clan's residence was bustling with activity.
Although it was quite normal since this was Yue clan's main headquarter, the activity was manifold more busy since today was the second day of new year, with Yue clan's new year tournament as the main event.
This new year tournament was an event between four great clans of Feng, Yan, Xue, and Yue clans, with the event locations that was being rotated every year between those of four great clans and royal family.
In other word, every 5 year, each clans or royal family will had a turn to become the new year tournament's host.
This event was made in order to increased the connection between four great clans and royal family, while at the same time showcase their talented younger generations.
This year, it was Yue clan's turn to become the host of this event.
In other word, Yue clan will had a turn to become the host of new year tournament when Yue Yang at age of 10, 15, and 20.
This year, Yue clan as the main focus will be able to showcase their younger generations to other great clans and royal family, thus increasing their prestige.
Usually, the participants of new year's tournament will mainly belong to the tournament's host, while other great clans will only watch and evaluate the host's younger generations.
This way, the host will be the main focus while the other great clans and royal family can prepared their younger generations to showcase their talent when it was their turn to become the host.
This was also the reason for why other great clans younger talent like Yan Po Jun and Feng Qing Sha didn't attend this year banquet, since they were preparing themselves in order to not made their own clan lost face when it was their turn to become new year tournament's host.
Although this was the case, it was also allowed for the younger generations from the other clans to participate in the host clan's tournament.
This year, the prime example of said participant was Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan lang, a talented younger generations from both Da Xia royal family and Xue clan respectively.
That was why, today's new year tournament was crowded by spectators that come not only from the four great clans, but also other cultivators from Da Xia kingdom, especially the Four Great Sects.
The Four Great Sects possessed positions that exceed the Four Great clans, with their elders that were at least at level 6 [Elder]. Almost all promising talents from the four great clans will be send to the four great sects to nurture their talents, one of such talents was Xue Tan Lang, who was sent to Eastern Ocean Crystal Palace Sect.
Almost all the cultivators that arrived at Yue clan's castle today can't wait to see the confrontations between Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang against Yue Yang, a new talent that emerged this year from Yue clan.
Morover, the reason of this confrontation being the matter of engagement between Yue Yang and Xue Wu Xia was only add the fuel to the fire.
Although it was not being said the the engagement will be nulled in case Yue Yang lose in the match, but at least it will made Yue Yang and Yue clan lose face since they dare to to made Yue Yang betrothed to Xue Wu Xia, a talent that was on par or even exceed Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang.
There was even a broker that made a bet regarding this match.
Not surprising, Yue Yang's odd to win was much lower compared to Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang, since Yue Yang was still an unknown fellow, while Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang was already well known as talented younger generations in Da Xia Kingdom.
When Yue Yang heard about this bet, he can't helped but laughed gleefully since this situation was akin to meat pie fallen from the sky.
It was already been a while since Yue Yang spin his gacha because he no longer had any resources left.
The reason Yue Yang made a high profile appearance in last night banquet was to made the Yue clan value his talent, thus gave him many resources to be converted to gacha points.
Anyway, even if the clan only gave him gold coins, it was more than enough, since Yue Yang currently doesn't really need any cultivation pill or medicine resources.
Now that there were many people that will voluntarily gave him gold coins through the bets, he will gladly accept them with open arms.
Yesterday, the clan gave him 400 gold as a reward for successfully contracting grimoire.
Normally, younger generations that successfully contracted grimoire will received at least 150 gold, some even 200 gold. Yue Tian from last year was given 300 gold, and this year Yue Yang was given 400 gold.
Although in his opinion this 400 gold was merely a pocket money thus disappointed Yue Yang when he received it, however now through betting, this 400 gold will be able to grow manifold, thus gave him more chance to spin gacha.
Based on the odds, at least he will received gold between 20.000 to 30.000 gold.
Yue Yang can no longer wait the end of tournament to spin gacha and thus possibly summoned more beast girls from anime heroines.
Right now, Yue Yang was seated in the participant's seat to wait for the tournament to start.
Fourth mother, Yue Bing, and Yue Shuang were seated in the spectator's seat to cheer on him.
Meanwhile, Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang were seated in the opposite participant's seat and glared at Yue Yang with fighting spirit, as if can't wait for the tournament to begin and immediately beat him up.
Yue Yang only glance at them with relaxed posture as if he was in the middle of sunbathed.
At this time, Yue Yang feel another glare from other people.
Different from Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang's challenge glare, this glare was full of resentment and animosity.
Yue Yang's expression grow confused when he turn his gaze to meet Yue Tian's gaze that full of enmity.
After all, he doesn't remember when he ever offend this fellow.
After Yue Yang thinking for a moment and recall Yue Tian's personality from canon story, he realize that his enmity must appeared because Yue Yang stole his status as Yue clan's number one prodigy and overshadowed him in last night banquet.
Yue Yang can only sneer inside his mind after he deduce this.
'Well no matter, my main focus for this tournament were Princess Qian Qian and Xue Tan Lang, and maybe also Xue Wu Xia if she decided to also fight me. As for this side side character, I'll give him a proper greeting through one punch K.O and made him lose face if he don't know his place', thought Yue Yang while he glance at Yue Tian with disdain.
Seeing Yue Yang's gaze that was full of disdain, Yue Tian's anger only grow and almost made him jump toward Yue Yang.
Regardless of everyone thoughts, at this time their thinking were disrupted by elder Yue Hai's voice.
"As Yue clan head and the host representative, I formally announce that this new year tournament, begin!"
