Chapter 252: Family Recognition Banquet Arena Competition
Today is a good day for the Mo family, and it is also a rare good day.
The sky of the Demon Realm, which is always gloomy, is much brighter than before. The Mo family's family recognition banquet is being held today.
Leng Zhuxin came out wearing an extremely complicated dress, and many people looked at her with scrutiny.
All those present were nobles and royals from the demon world, and the Qin family was inconspicuous among them.
But Qin Gu insisted on coming closer.
He had obviously dressed up carefully today, wearing very formal clothes, as if he was the protagonist. With a smile on his face, he walked up to Leng Zhuxin holding a box.
"Sister Qingyun, this is a gift I personally chose for you. Open it and see if you like it."
Qin Gu held a box in his hand, but instead of putting it on the table, he wanted Leng Zhuxin to take it personally.
Leng Zhuxin glanced at the box casually and said, "Just leave it there."
Her tone was very cold, her face showed no joy, and she showed no intention of accepting the gift.
Qin Gu felt a little embarrassed and his smile froze, but he quickly returned to normal, put the gift on the table and sat down.
After completing a series of procedures, it was time for the most important part of the Demon Realm Banquet, the arena competition.
Most people in the demon world are belligerent, but because this demon king has been on the throne for hundreds of years and has very strict management of the demon world, the belligerent spirit of the demon world has been slightly restrained.
But the ring competition remained. No matter what the reason for the banquet was, the children of each family would be asked to compete at the end of the banquet.
The winner in the ring can be challenged by his peers until the final winner is decided.
The arena competition also has prizes. The prize the Mo family put up this time is a magic sword. Although it is not as good as the magic sword used by Mo Qingshan, it is also a rare high-level magic sword.
This also means that the Mo family attaches great importance to Leng Zhuxin, the eldest daughter who was just found.
High-level magic swords are rare. Although many of Leng Zhuxin's peers present already have their own magic weapons, they still want to seize this magic sword, whether to give it to others or keep it for themselves.
Today's protagonist Leng Zhuxin is at the Demonic Pill Stage, so the highest level of cultivation that can be challenged on the stage can only be the Demonic Pill Stage.
There was no one defending the ring, so the first person to go up was Yue Xian, a younger generation of the Yue family. Yue Xian had just been promoted to the Demon Pill Stage, so it was best for him to start the match.
Being able to stop the demon cultivators below the Demon Pill Stage will shorten the competition time significantly.
Yue Xian held a sword and glanced at the audience, waiting for the challenger to come on stage.
Qin Gu had no intention of going up. He had some understanding of Yue Xian's strength. He knew that although Yue Xian had just broken through the Demon Pill Realm, if he fought Yue Xian honestly, his chances of winning would only be 60%.
In order to win with less effort and let the ladies see his style, he planned to wait until the competition was halfway through before going on stage.
It’s best to pick one that’s a little exhausted after a winning streak.
With this thought in mind, Qin Gu sat on the chair without moving, his eyes fixed on the ring.
Soon someone came up to challenge Yue Xian. He was also in the early stage of Demon Pill like Yue Xian.
The two fought back and forth on the ring, with constant cheers from the audience. In the end, Yue Xian was slightly better and stayed on the ring.
The challenge on the ring is open to both men and women, and the second person to come on stage to challenge is a woman.
Leng Zhuxin didn't recognize him, but Mo Qingshan was always by her side and introduced him to Leng Zhuxin in a low voice.
Leng Zhuxin just realized that the person on the stage was the daughter of the Fang family, Fang Qian.
Fang Qian's cultivation level was slightly higher than Yue Xian's, and he knocked Yue Xian, whose magic power was a little overdrawn, off the stage in just a few moves.
The victorious Fang Qian looked around the stage with a cold and arrogant expression, and his gaze fell on Leng Zhuxin.
"Miss Mo, would you like to come up and play?"
She was looking at Leng Zhuxin when she said this, and there was no malice in her eyes, only belligerence.
In the past few days, the story of Leng Zhuxin saving Qin Gu's life has been spreading like wildfire and becoming more and more outrageous. It has now become a rumor that Leng Zhuxin and Qin Gu escaped from the hands of fifty late-stage Demon Pill robbers, and afterwards he challenged the fifty robbers alone, going in and out seven times and taking the lives of all the robbers.
Even Leng Zhuxin herself felt that it was too exaggerated and couldn't help but click her tongue.
The young lady of the Fang family is a warlike person who admires the strong the most. It was only after hearing the rumor that she decided to compete with Leng Zhuxin.
In the past, when people held banquets, basically no one would go up to the ring to compete, because it would be unlucky if the jackpot fell into the hands of family members.
However, there is no explicit rule that prohibits family members from competing on stage, especially when someone else actively invites them.
If you don't go up, it will inevitably make people feel a little lost.
Leng Zhuxin questioned Mo Qingshan with her eyes, and only flew onto the stage after Mo Qingshan nodded slightly.
At today's banquet, the clothes she wore were extremely complicated, but it did not affect her movements at all. She looked graceful just by flying onto the stage.
Seeing that she was unarmed, everyone started to guess what weapon she would use.
Most people guessed that it was a sword, a fan, or an Emei spear, but no one expected Leng Zhuxin to summon a pitch-black magic sword.
The magic sword has no scabbard, and the blade is exposed outside with a sinister evil aura, which makes it look like it is not simple.
Leng Zhuxin held the magic knife with one hand. The combination of her white hand and the handle of the magic knife was not only not abrupt, but rather had a strange sense of harmony.
She pointed the knife downwards and nodded to Fang Qian, "Miss Fang, please."
……
(P.S. I'll explain in the article that Thirteen's setting for the Demon Realm is different from the Immortal Realm, with distinct classes, similar to a feudal dynasty. Unlike the Immortal Realm where the major sects stand side by side, and there are masters, brothers, and ancestors who can fight against you if you don't obey them.
Xinxin fell into the Demon Realm alone. The Demon Pill Stage is not a very high level of cultivation, so she mainly hides in the Demon Realm, wins over forces, and relies on the Mo family and others to achieve her own goals. Because new characters need to be introduced, and Xinxin can't just come in and fight alone, the early plot in the Demon Realm is inevitably a bit slow, and there may not be any exciting moments.
It will be much better in the middle and late stages.
I also saw some babies saying that the cultivation novels are written like family feuds. This is actually unavoidable under this setting. If the martial arts are not enough, they can only make up for it in other aspects. But if the babies don’t like to read it, you can try to speed up the plot and end the demon world chapter as soon as possible.
If you want to skip the Demon Realm plot as soon as possible, you can give 1. If there are many people, Thirteen will go through the plot faster.)
