After returning home, Chu Linfeng quietly lay on the bed, carefully examining the piece of dragon scale shining with golden light given to him by Chu Yuanba.
Holding this dragon scale in his hand felt very intimate, very familiar.
Recalling Chu Yuanba's words carefully, Chu Linfeng's heart was turbulent, "My own mother is actually a Dragon Maiden, it's too unbelievable, then what about my bloodline awakening?"
"Your bloodline is the Golden Dragon Bloodline. Awakening this bloodline is also extremely difficult. I've said before that you are destined for an extraordinary life; this is only the beginning." The voice of Sword Spirit Yue'er appeared.
"Sister Yue'Er, you are knowledgeable and well-informed, could you tell me something about the Dragon Race? I really want to know some things about my mother and them."
Regarding this Sword Spirit in his mind, Chu Linfeng felt she was his good mentor and helpful friend. The assistance she provided was indeed too much.
"The Dragon Race is considered part of the Holy Beast Race. The strength of each member of the Dragon Race is very immense, and the lowest realm for dragons that can transform into human shape is the power of the Divine Martial Realm.
The members are many, and the levels within the Dragon Race are also very strict. The highest level is the Golden Dragon, with the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon as the King.
Next are the Silver Dragon, Cyan Dragon, Fire Dragon, Water Dragon, Ice Dragon, Red Dragon, and Winged Dragon…"
"My mother is a Golden Dragon, doesn't that mean she has a high status in the Dragon Race, but my father said that she would be punished if she returns, do you know the reason?" Chu Linfeng was secretly surprised.
"I don't know the specific situation, but one thing is certain: your mother violated the clan rules of the Dragon Race, and even her noble identity cannot escape punishment."
Chu Linfeng said nothing, but clenched the dragon scale in his hand even tighter.
"Forget it, let's stop thinking about it! Only when I am strong will all matters be easily resolved." Chu Linfeng sat up from the bed.
Looking outside the window, the sky was already densely filled with stars, "It's time to absorb Star Power, today's consumption of Star Power will take at least three days to recover, what a pain!"
Under the night sky, the star glow on Chu Linfeng's body gradually immersed into his body, and now the Star Power within his dantian had reached a terrifying level.
The position occupied by Spiritual Power within the dantian was getting smaller and smaller, most of the space was occupied by Star Power, and now the Star Power was so dense that it was almost turning into a liquid state.
If he breaks through to the Sixth Level of the Black Tortoise Realm, there really is a possibility of forming an Earth Star Pill, and then the Star Power will be even more immense.
Time flashed by, only three days left until the day of the clan competition, where Chu Linfeng absorbed Star Power every night and practiced the Wind Chasing Sword Technique in the mountains during the day.
Now he was able to barely perform the Seventh Form: Wind-Rolling Clouds.
However, with the Star Power used in this move, he could perform it at most twice with the current Star Power in his body.
The consumption is big, and the power is also big, Chu Linfeng was convinced that if he faced Liu the Dog, using the Seventh Form, even if it couldn't kill him, it could severely injure him.
Even giant trees could be uprooted and crushed into powder, the power is imaginable.
But Sword Spirit Yue'Er told him that such martial skills should not be used unless in life-and-death situations, although Star Power can be absorbed back, once the Star Power within is exhausted, it could have significant disadvantages for future training.
The three-year clan competition finally began three days later, causing the whole Liuyun City to boil.
The competition hosted by the City Lord's Mansion of Liuyun City was led by Sima Tianxiong, acknowledged as Liuyun City's top expert, possessing the power of the Fourth Level of the Earth Martial Realm.
With him overseeing the clan competition, nobody dared to cause trouble, so no special circumstances had appeared in any of the previous competitions.
Those from the Chu Family participating this time included Chu Linfeng, Chu Linyue, and Chu Linhai… all disciples who had broken through to the Black Tortoise Realm could participate.
Those who ranked in the top ten would receive rich rewards, and each time the rewards varied. Last time, the reward for the tenth place seemed to be a Spirit Tier Middle Grade weapon and five hundred Spirit Stones.
The richness of the prizes was evident, thus more people were participating this time, hoping to get a share of the bounty.
The competition venue is on an open space to the west of the City Lord's Mansion, and this open space was dedicated to the clan competition, its size unknowably larger than the Chu Family's Martial Arts Training Ground.
Though Liuyun City is a small city, its population is still over ten thousand, and for this clan competition, besides the five major families, there are also some families slightly weaker than the five major families.
Chu Linfeng continued to absorb Star Power at night, but his face showed no sign of tiredness, adorned in white clothing with handsome features, he simply exuded elegance.
Upon arriving at the competition venue, it was already a sea of people, and Chu Linfeng initially estimated at least over ten thousand people.
"Lin Feng, do you have confidence to rank in the top ten?" At some unknown point, Chu Linyue came to his side and asked.
"Lin Yue, you grew a bit, how did you do it?" Chu Linfeng replied with unrelated questions, deliberately annoying her.
"What grew?" Chu Linyue didn't understand, but upon seeing Chu Linfeng's wolf-like eyes staring at her ample chest, she seemed to understand.
"You, why don't you just die?" A blush appeared on her face at once, thinking this guy might have a problem with his head, always having comments about her bust.
"Hahaha! Nevermind, don't think I don't know!" laughed Chu Linfeng, his gaze still unwavering.
"What do you know?" Chu Linyue was a bit annoyed, "Move your thieving eyes away, what is there to look at!"
"Whether it's nice to look at is not up to you, it's what I say that counts. Do you have confidence to be in the top ten this time?" Chu Linfeng changed the topic, knowing if he continued teasing Chu Linyue, this mother dragon might go berserk, which would be a handful.
His gaze left Chu Linyue's chest and surveyed the surroundings of the venue, Chu Linfeng hadn't expected so many people participating this time.
"Top ten? I don't know, maybe top hundred. Anyway, I'm asking you, what made you question me instead?" Chu Linyue immediately reacted, this guy was becoming more cunning.
"Me? I can't enter the top ten." Chu Linfeng answered straightforwardly, his face expressionless.
"How is that possible? I know your strength, don't try to fool me."
"My goal is the first place, having just the top ten is disgraceful, you also should consider who I am?" Chu Linfeng continued expressionlessly.
Chu Linyue was speechless, if Chu Linfeng was aiming for the first place, it might indeed be possible, as this guy was always shrouded in secrets, just increasingly mischievous lately.
In the midst of their conversation, a pleasant voice rang in their ears, it was a woman's voice.
"Thank you everyone for being present, today is the tri-annual clan competition of our Liuyun City, I hope everyone can follow the rules.
If you're here to spectate, please observe quietly. Anyone causing trouble here will be severely punished by the City Lord's Mansion.
If you are a participant representing a competing family, please compete following the rules, any violations will also lead to severe punishment by the City Lord's Mansion."
"This is the voice of Sima City Lord's daughter, Sima Jingyi, rumored to already have the strength of the First Level of the Earth Martial Realm." At this moment, a person beside Chu Linfeng excitedly spoke.
Sima Jingyi's gentle voice echoed in everyone's ears, though the sound was pleasant, the crowd was somewhat intimidated and dared not discuss loudly, rendering the area much quieter.
"Now, all participating family disciples, please register your names to the right, and take a good look at the competition rules, hoping everyone achieves their desired scores!"
As Sima Jingyi's voice faded, the tri-annual clan competition formally unfolded…
