Chapter 554: Arid’s challenge
Mulligan ordered that the contestants given time to prepare, and that the event would take place in another hour.

As everyone dispersed, Eunid remained.

Meanwhile, Arid looked at him and gave a confident smirk before looking and walking away.

Old fang walked towards Eunid. And then Eunid spoke, in a whisper, “Something is not right. I have always known that Arid was a better cultivator than myself, but there has never been a reason for us to engage in combat.

Besides, Strength does not equate brains, and Arid is a fearful muscle head. Besides, the family has rules. Any one that loses will naturally be casted out of the family, losing all rights. Even if Arid thought that he could beat me, he would definitely not be interested in taking such a bold risk. After all, if not anything, he is from a branch family, and has a natural fear of the main family. Something is definitely not right.”

Old fang nodded, “Indeed! Perhaps someone else had a hand in this?” he thought out loud.

Eunid nodded, “Yes! Someone definitely had a hand in this.” And then his gaze traced those in the room. All others were leaving. But only Alfred walked up to Arid, patting his back gently.

Eunid frowned, “Uncle is not even hiding it!”

Old fang nodded, “Like I said before, it would have been much easier if you had dealt with this problem a long time ago. Perhasps when he was in the mountains.”

Eunid frowned as he turned to Old fang, “I’ll appreciate it if you do not bring up the subject of me killing my own kin for the sake of power again. Even If he his my stupid uncle. I will do no such thing.”

Old fang sighed and then he gave a bow, “as you wish, my lord.”

Eunid nodded, “What about that other stuff, where you able to get it?”

“If you are referring to a way to ensure that her Dantain is fixed, then No! But I do believe that her training has had an effect on strengthening the walls of her dantain significantly. And as such, even though she is still unable to increase in cultivation, she should still be able to produce some results. At least that is the way I see it.”

Eunid nodded, “Enough to carry the family flame?”

Old fang shook his head, “the Family Flame is Divine. As a pot, the young lady is not strong enough to hold that much power. In fact, a thousand times far from it.”

Eunid sighed.

However, Old fang interrupted his train of thoughts. “Young master Eunid, I believe you might have a bit of misplaced priorities. In approximately another fifty five minutes from now, you will be facing young master Arid, a challenge to your birthright and position within the family. Instead, you are more concerned about that said family. I suggest that you instead bring your mind to the matter at hand. After all, if you fail…”

“Don’t even say it! Its just Arid. Even with his superior cultivation I have beaten him before.”

“That is exactly my fear. Can’t you see it? There must be a reason he has suddenly become so… Brazen!” After saying this, Old fang turned and walked away.

Eunid frowned. He knew that Old Fang’s words were true, but he really still believed that regardless of the cultivation difference, he could beat Arid.

After all, he had done it before.

An announcement for the event went out within the family Estate, and everyone was invited to watch, including the servants.

The Main Family Estate was very large, covering an area of about six hundred thousand square kilometers.

This was a place so self sufficient and capable that it even reared not just its own core beasts but even lower races. Of course, all other Virtue families were the same.

in fact, the Diligent Family estate had seen a decrease in size over the last few hundred years as a result of the fall of power of the Family Flame, and that was yet another reason why they fought for the mountain region, that bordered into the Zodiac family region.

Naturally, this event was going to be a big one. And all were invited to watch.

A big arena was used for this. A place capable of occupying about a hundred thousand people.

Many people dropped whatsoever it was they were doing as they rushed to the Arena. Some were even nursing mothers and the like.

It was such a situation that Nora thought maybe they were under an attack. However, Old Fang came to her, “Come with me!” he instructed as he mounted a flying core beast.

Soon, the location was packed full.

At the Luxury box was Mulligan, Gold ranked cultivator and the head of the Diligence family.

So as not to be tagged as being partial, he had not met with his son before the event. After all, even as Patriach, they were eyes on his back, and he needed to be seen as taking no side, but the side of the rules of the family.

At Mulligan’s side were a few Elders of the family. However, the Family Head Butler was not by his side but rather a maid.

Old Fang was at the moment in the break room preparing Eunid for the challenge. Along the way, he had explained the circumstances of the event to Nora. And of course, she had become worried.

However, at the moment, she was silent.

All she did was watch as Eunid prepared, wearing his armor and becoming battle ready.

Old fang looked at his young master and sighed. “There are going to be three rounds. However, You were challenged, meaning that you get to pick the subject for battle. You also have the right to allow any three of your generation or lower, whether cousins or slaves to participate on your behalf.

Considering that he is far stronger than you, I advice that you pick a challenge that does not allow you a physical confrontation with you.”

Eunid nodded, “I understand, but even If, I doubt I will still lose. I may be at the Fourth Bronze rank, and him at the Sixth Bronze rank, but like I said, I can still beat him.”

Old fang frowned…
