"Kill!" A cold voice emitted from Xing Tiandong's mouth. The moment his voice was heard, his body, following the blade in his hand, slashed towards Xing Xiaochuan like a meteor. This slash completely split the air, creating a huge gash in the ground where his body passed.

  "Kill!" Upon seeing Xing Tiandong taking the initiative to attack, Xing Xiaochuan let out a slightly bitter sigh. Then, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he promptly propelled his palm technique towards Xing Tiandong in retaliation.

  "Boom!"

  "Tear!"

  Figures crossed past each other, dazzling blade light and scorching red light alternated in an instant. Subsequently, Xing Xiaochuan's body heavily fell to the ground, with copious amounts of blood ceaselessly pouring out of him, and a severed hand lying beside his body.

  "Boom!" The entire martial arts arena boiled over due to Xing Tiandong's momentary attack. They watched Xing Tiandong with fervent eyes, their blood surging, and shouts of excitement erupted.

  "Long live Young Master Tiandong!"

  "I love you, Young Master Tiandong!"

  While shouting, no one meticulously examined Xing Xiaochuan on the ground, as if whether Xing Xiaochuan was dead or alive was no longer important to them.

  Xing Peng watched this scene with a complex expression, gaining a deeper understanding of the world's law of the jungle. Although Xing Xiaochuan was defeated, he was still a descendant of the Xing family. But at this moment, most people cheered for the victor, barely anyone paid more attention to the defeated Xing Xiaochuan, except for Xing Xiaochuan's parents who sorrowfully assisted him off the platform. Others showed indifference.

  Reality is so cruel; this is the method big families use to temper their descendants.

  Survival of the fittest, if you can't stand out, you'll be swallowed by the storm. Only the living, the victorious, are the talents most important to the family. To gain power and recognition within the family, one must strive to cultivate diligently.

  Xing Peng admitted that such practices are ridiculous, but undoubtedly, the offspring cultivated through these means indeed possess remarkable strength. These descendants, although being like flowers in a greenhouse, are far stronger than those who have never experienced the scent of blood. Every individual must work hard not to be surpassed by others.

  Before Xing Xiaochuan's defeat, he too had a group of supporters. But after his loss, the supporters largely shifted their allegiance to Xing Tiandong.

  Almost at the moment when Xing Tiandong and Xing Xiaochuan's battle concluded, victories on several other platforms were also decided. The winners included Xing Jianfeng, Xing Jinlei, Xing Xiaofeng, Xing Xia, Xing Liang, Xing Guo, Xing Ming, Xing Xin, Xing Qianshan.

  "Good! The Xing family's triennial top ten ranking has finally been decided. Let's cheer for them; they are the most talented descendants in our Xing family right now, possessing an extraordinary status and supreme glory..."

  Amidst the cheers of the Xing family descendants and onlookers, an elder of the Xing family, who had reached the Heaven Level, suddenly floated up to the center of the arena from the spectator stand, and with a wave of his hand, silenced the cheering Xing family descendants, speaking authoritatively.

  Following the elder's words, the previously silent Xing family descendants suddenly erupted in cheers, their applause thunderous and their gazes excited.

  As the victorious top ten martial artists, they proudly raised their heads to accept the shouts from below, excitement and pride visible in their eyes. At this moment, they shone brilliantly, like stars in the sky.

  If things were to proceed smoothly, the top ten martial artists would face another ranking competition, vying for the ranking rewards. However, just as the elder was about to proceed with the tradition, a cool voice suddenly rang out: "Elder, it seems you've forgotten that I haven't undergone the trial yet!"

  "Shush! Shush! Shush! Shush..."

  The moment this voice was heard, the surrounding gazes immediately turned towards the source of the sound, and everyone was stunned by what they saw.

  This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

  "Xing Peng!" An exclamation erupted, the face of the person shouting full of shock.

  "Isn't Xing Peng supposed to be at Heavenly Extremity Peak? How did he appear here?"

  "What's with Xing Peng, speaking such words at this moment?"

  Suddenly, the arena, previously filled with continuous cheers, turned into a buzzing marketplace filled with discussions and gossip.

  "Xing Peng, how come you're here? Didn't I order you to face the wall at Heavenly Extremity Peak for a year?" On the viewing stand where the Xing family's higher-ups were located, the family head, Xing Tianjue, looked at Xing Peng with a gloomy face.

  "Face the wall for a year? Heh, dear uncle, you actually have the audacity to say it's facing the wall for a year? The summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak is steep on all sides without a bit of food. You threw me there without providing any food, were you trying to make me reflect, or starve me to death?" Xing Peng stepped out of the crowd and looked at Xing Tianjue with a cold laugh.

  "Boom!" Xing Peng's words exploded like a bomb, leaving everyone who heard them utterly dumbfounded.

  Although most of the Xing family looked down on Xing Peng, no one had ever dared to harm Xing Peng so blatantly in front of so many Xing family descendants. After all, Xing Peng has a father who is a King Level master; it was Carefree King who made the Xing family so prosperous. If what Xing Peng said was true, it would certainly chill many hearts.

  "No... not providing any food? Oh my god, that bald mountain top, other than rocks, there are just more rocks. Without food, wouldn't one starve to death?" someone who had also been punished to face the wall in reflection exclaimed in disbelief.

  "Xing Peng, don't spout nonsense. When have I ever said I wouldn't give you food? When I sent you to Heavenly Extremity Peak, I specifically arranged for people to deliver food to you!" Xing Tianjue frowned and scolded.

  "How curious then, I was starving on the summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak for several days, almost starving to death there. Why didn't I see any food at all?" Xing Peng looked around, shrugged his shoulders, and said.

  "Xing Peng, stop talking nonsense. This food was personally delivered by me. How could you not have any food? If you had no food, how could you still be alive!" Before Xing Tianjue could respond to Xing Peng, a man in a green robe standing beside Xing Tianjue angrily stood up, pointing at Xing Peng with trembling hands. This man was named Xing Kuangfeng , who had personally sent Xing Peng to Heavenly Extremity Peak.

  "Indeed, if Xing Peng had no food, how could he possibly still be alive? This clearly shows Xing Peng is spouting nonsense!"

  "Damn, we really underestimated this loser before. Although he's quite useless, his ability to stir trouble is not bad at all, even black can be spoken into white by him..."

  Some who had disliked Xing Peng from a young age laughed scornfully upon hearing Xing Kuangfeng 's words. They couldn't believe the family head would actually fail to provide Xing Peng with food, seeing it as too obvious an attempt to kill him.

  Despite disliking Xing Peng, no one in the Xing family could be sure if one day Xing Peng's father might suddenly emerge from Hell Valley. After all, King Level masters have long lifespans, and a decade or so means little to them. Therefore, no one in the Xing family would dare to blatantly kill Xing Peng, the so-called loser; at most, they would bully him occasionally. The family head would definitely not commit such a foolish act.

  "Ridiculous, you personally delivered food to me? Then I'd like to hear, when exactly did you deliver food to me, and how do you explain my appearance here? Don't tell me you brought me down from the top of Heavenly Extremity Peak!" Xing Peng coldly stared at Xing Kuangfeng , his eyes flashing with killing intent. He had no kind expression for someone who wanted him dead.

  "I..." Xing Kuangfeng 's complexion changed unnaturally, then, gritting his teeth, he looked at Xing Peng and said, "Fine! Xing Peng, you forced me to say this. Today, even if I get punished by the family head, I'll speak the truth. I remember the first time I took you to the summit of Heavenly Extremity Peak, I left you with food for about seven days. At that time, I told you I would come to deliver food every five days, but unexpectedly, when I went to Heavenly Extremity Peak for the second time, you had already disappeared. I was afraid of being blamed by the family head, so I didn't report this matter!"

  "Xing Peng, is this true!" Xing Tianjue spoke authoritatively.

  "All lies! You left me with food for seven days!! You really have the nerve to say that, motherfucker, it seems the one wanting to kill me is you. Come on! Come! Come! You want to kill me, right? Now, I give you a chance, have the guts to come and fight me for three hundred rounds, and see if I don't beat you to the ground looking for your teeth." Xing Peng spat on the ground, then fiercely glared at Xing Kuangfeng .

  "Uh..." The family's solemn and disciplined trial was completely disrupted by Xing Peng in this moment, leaving the ten previously battle-ready Xing family descendants standing foolishly on the platform, unsure of what to do. With such an incident happening, if things aren't clarified, the competition definitely cannot continue.

  Some visiting dignitaries were also exchanging looks, feeling sentimental about the sudden change within the Xing family.

  Xing Peng is the son of Carefree King, a well-known fact. If the Xing family dares to kill Xing Peng so recklessly, once the news spreads, the Xing family's reputation will undoubtedly suffer a significant blow.

  Although large families understand the unwritten rules, such rules, when exposed, are not something everyone can accept.

  After all, Carefree King had made many friends on the Lingwu Continent. Once these people learn of Xing Peng's ordeal, even if they do not wish to involve themselves, for the sake of their own dignity, they would likely make a token appearance at the Xing family.
