News of how Sima You Yue had caused a huge commotion at the Sima Clan had spread throughout the continent. Now, everyone knew that Sima You Yue and the others had come from the land of exile and were not strong.
As a result, when those of the Li clan saw that it was Sima You Ran, they subconsciously felt that he was just a weak little chicken.
Kneel down and hail him as his ancestor?
Sima You Ran's eyes turned into crescents. It looked like he didn't need Sima You Yue to request it of him. He was going to beat that guy into a pig head for sure!
The Li Clansman was stared down by Sima You Ran and suddenly felt a shiver down his spine. However, before he even had time to react, Sima You Ran had already charged in front of him and threw a left hook on his face. A single tooth immediately fell out as his entire person was thrown heavily to the ground.
Throughout these two years, they had constantly been pulled by Sima You Yue to go and cultivate. She had even taught them various close ranged martial arts.
"Whoa, such a strong display of power!"
Those who were watching the stage saw that Sima You Ran had felled the guy with just one punch, and were unable to react for a moment.
Spirit Masters were the most afraid of close ranged battle because their physical bodies were weak. Some were even weaker than the ordinary person.
Sima You Ran saw that his opponent had yet to get up, so he walked over and sat on his stomach, dislocating that guy's jaw before raining punches on him.
"Ss-"
The spectators saw that the yet another Li Clansman was being beaten into resembling a pig's head and could not help but close their eyes.
It was truly… too cruel!
Furthermore, that Li clansman had lost the first opportunity right from the start. It was now impossible for him to summon any spirit energy. He was beaten so hard that he had forgotten to call out his contracted beast, and before he could recover from his current situation, he was sent flying off the stage with a single kick from Sima You Ran.
"Second Ring, Sima Clan's victory." The referee felt that he was really seeing many things today. Why did every Sima clansman enjoy beating their opponent into resembling a pig's head?
The later two contestants were not from the Sima clan, allowings the referees to sigh in relief.
Not long later, Sima You Le went up. His opponent was a Nalan clansman.
It could be because the other two Li clansmen were beaten too savagely that, when the Nalan clansman went up the stage, he started to watch Sima You Le warily. He maintained a distance from him to prevent him from suddenly coming close.
"No need to be so cautious. I don't have those close ranged martial arts that my elder brother has." Sima You Le said.
"Your Sima clansmen are too cunning. Who knows whether or not what you say is true." The Nalan clansman looked at him, saying, "There's no way I'm letting you close the gap between us."
As he said this, he called out his contracted beast to stand with him against Sima You Le.
"My beast is a first ranked divine beast. I don't believe that all of you Sima clansmen are Spirit Saints!"
"I'm really am not a Spirit Saint." Sima You Le answer.
"Ha ha, this Sima clansman is dead for sure!" someone burst out with laughter. However, he had to swallow his words even before he completed his sentence.
"Although I am not a Spirit Saint, I'm sorry to say I have a divine beast as well."
Sima You Le called out his own contracted beast as he spoke. Of course, he called out a second ranked divine beast and not the large bird that Sima You Yue had gifted to him while they were on their ancestral grounds.
"What!" The Nalan clansmen widened their eyes, not daring to believe that Sima You Le had a Divine beast.
"Flower, go. Throw him off the stage." Sima You Le ordered.
"Yes, Master." Although Flower really hated the name that he had been given, he still launched an attack. Who asked him to be unable to go against his master's orders.
For a second ranked divine beast to go against one pair of man and beast was a bit troublesome, but they were both thrown off the stage in a short amount of time.
Of course, before throwing the Nalan clansman off the stage, Flower did not forget to beat the opponent until he resembled a pig's head.
"Are the Sima clansmen really that strong? How could it be that they've won 3 out of 3 victories?"
The spectators start to become suspicious. If it was just one or two victories, it could be counted as luck or a coincidence. However, if they kept winning, it couldn't be luck but real strength!
"That's right, it is a bit strange."
"I heard that the Sima clan are not of standard anymore, and that the later generations are weaker than the previous ones. How could it be that each of them are this strong?"
"Let's continue watching. Who knows, they could be the three best fighters."
"I don't think that's necessarily the case. I feel like the Sima clan has been hiding their power, in order to advance by leaps and bounds in these few years."
"I feel the same. It could be that the ultimate champions of the youth compet.i.tion this time will be the Sima clan."
Some people looked favorably on the Sima clan.
"Hmph, as long as they don't win ten rounds, they will be in last place. I don't believe that they will be able to emerge victorious from ten rounds!" Someone huffed.
"Whether or not they can attain victory will be revealed later on."
The spectators were divided in their opinions, but they still quieted down to continue watching the rest of the matches.
Very quickly, it was Sima You Qing's turn to go up. Her opponent was from the Sang clan.
The Sang clansmen had never looked down on the Sima clan, and this was especially so after the previous matches.
"Relax, I have no beef with you. I won't beat you into a pig head." Sima You Qing smiled at her opponent.
The Li clansmen and Nalan clansmen's expressions turned black when they heard what she said. So she was saying that Sima You Le and the others had intentionally beaten their opponents into resembling pig heads?
"Many thanks." That youth from the Sang clan was relatively more polite and nodded his head at her. "Let's begin, Whirlwind, come out."
"Lala, come out." Sima You Qing called out her own contracted beast as well.
Two third ranked divine beasts appeared on stage and roared loudly before engaging in battle.
Because the two of them were core disciples of their clan, n.o.body had much of a reaction when they saw their divine beasts.
Sima You Qing and her opponent did not act, and merely watched as their contracted beasts battled. The Sang clansman saw that her spirit beast was quickly losing the ability to battle, and quickly called out another second ranked divine beast.
"Another divine beast?" Sima You Qing did not expect that her opponent would have two divine beasts, and said with surprise.
Most people, without even talking about having two divine beasts, would treat even one of them as a precious treasure. This kind of large clan was, at most, able to pair a divine beast with a saint beast.
Furthermore, divine beasts were truly a rare sight on this continent.
So, for this person to possess two divine beasts proved that the Sang clan was truly extraordinary!
That person nodded and said, "That's right. Now, I have two divine beasts fighting against your one divine beast. I have no desire to hurt you, why don't you surrender."
"I'm not someone who likes to admit defeat, okay." Sima You Qing beamed, replying, "You have a divine beast, so do I. Feifei, come out!"
Feifei was of those birds that Sima You Yue had gifted them back at the ancestral grounds. He was rarely outside when he followed Sima You Qing.
"Six- six ranked divine beast!"
Everyone onsite was stunned when they saw Feifei's rank.
This was not the first time that everyone had seen a six ranked divine beast as a contracted beast since many of the old guys present had their contracted beasts reach that level. However, it was truly out of their expectations that such a young child had such a high ranking contracted beast.
When the Sang clan member saw Feifei, his face broke into a bitter smile. It was a divine beast with the strength on par with a Spirit Paragon. How was he supposed to battle it?
He cupped his fists at Sima You Qing, saying, "I admit defeat."
