Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

"Xie Zhiqiang of the Xie Family, please bestow your guidance, Taoist Friend Zhou."

"Xie Zhitao of the Xie Family, please bestow your guidance, Taoist Friend Zhou."

"Xie Cunshan of the Xie Family, please bestow your guidance, Taoist Friend Zhou."

On the arena, cultivators from the Xie Family of Lianzhou ascended one after another, engaging in fierce combat with the defending Zhou Family Cultivators.

As a major cultivation clan rooted in Lianzhou, the Xie Family had an extremely profound relationship with the Green Lotus Temple and was much stronger than other major cultivation clans like the Wang Family from Hongyao Valley, who had suffered considerable setbacks.

The twenty-three cultivators they brought had already accrued twenty-four points by having only twenty of their ranks take the stage.

However, just as they looked forward to breaking the Su Family's record, they found themselves struggling to advance further.

The twenty-fifth defending cultivator of the Zhou Family was the beautiful female practitioner, Zhou Xindie.

Her delicate and weak appearance was highly deceptive, unlike Zhou Xinlan, who didn't seem easy to deal with.

In reality, her strength was only slightly less than that of Zhou Xinlan.

At that moment, the Xie Family suffered a major disadvantage at her hands.

One after another, three Xie Family cultivators all fell before this challenge.

Until the last Xie Family cultivator took the stage.

He was a handsome young man clad in a green vestment robe. With a gesture and a wave, a gust of wind carried him as he flew onto the arena.

Then he clasped his hands towards Zhou Xindie, who had already rested on the arena, and said, "Xie Cunrui of the Xie Family, I welcome the chance to learn from Taoist Friend Zhou's exquisite skills."

"Zhou Xindie of the Zhou Family, please bestow your guidance, Taoist Friend Xie."

Zhou Xindie bowed in response with her eyes and brows lowered, her voice clear and pleasing.

The two, a handsome man and a pretty woman, sparked discussions among many cultivators beneath the stage, even before they clashed.

Even the Clan Leader of the Xie Family, half-jokingly said to Zhou Chun from the stands, "I wonder if this young lady from your family is already betrothed? If not, how about we join our families in marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Taoist Friend Xie has a keen eye indeed. Die'er is certainly the most exceptional girl among the younger generation of my Zhou Family, both in terms of talent and appearance."

After speaking, he shook his head slightly and added, "However, when it comes to matrimonial matters, our Zhou Family's children have always made their own choices. If Taoist Friend Xie is interested, you'll have to let the young men of your family pursue her for themselves!" Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire

This was not him brushing the other aside but rather the actual situation within the Zhou Family.

Though his own matrimonial affairs hadn't entirely gone according to his wishes, Zhou Chun, as the Clan Leader of the Zhou Family, had never interfered in the younger generation's matrimonial choices.

Whether Zhou Family Cultivators were marrying or being married off, he interfered very little, at most advising them to consider their decisions carefully and confirm their resolve.

"Hehehe, since Taoist Friend Zhou does not object, I'll encourage those youngsters to put in more effort when I return," replied the Clan Leader of the Xie Family with a chuckle, taking the matter quite seriously.

Looking back at the arena, the bout between Xie Cunrui and Zhou Xindie had quickly proceeded to serious exchanges.

Xie Cunrui waved a pale green feather fan continuously in his hand, flinging dense cyan wind blades toward Zhou Xindie like a torrential downpour.

In face of her opponent's overwhelming offensive, Zhou Xindie brought out a sky-blue treasure bead and positioned it in front of her chest, emitting a sky-blue protective barrier that enveloped her.

The wind blades splashing against the barrier merely caused ripples to spread across its surface.

As dozens of wind blades dissipated, before Xie Cunrui could employ any other tactics, Zhou Xindie's counterattack had already arrived.

With a wave of her hand, a blue-and-white long silk ribbon shot out from her sleeve like a serpent, slithering through the air and wrapped around Xie Cunrui.

Witnessing this, a flash of surprise crossed Xie Cunrui's eyes. He promptly slapped the feather fan forward, channeling mana into it, sending out a burst of green luminescence that transformed into a green cyclone in the air, enveloping the long silk ribbon within.

Feeling the connection with her magic artifact being suppressed, Zhou Xindie's eyebrows knit slightly. Then, with a delicate shout, she remotely channeled a spell into the long ribbon, forcibly freeing it from the green vortex.

But before she could regroup for another attack, Xie Cunrui slapped his storage pouch and conjured a green-and-white bone spear artifact.

Lingering less than five feet long, the bone spear was actually a short spear.

Propelled by Xie Cunrui's mana, the short spear shot out like an arrow released from a bow, piercing the air toward Zhou Xindie in a flash of green-and-white lightning.

Zhou Xindie too late to respond, the short spear had already hit her protective barrier.

Instantly, the barrier became violently turbulent, and cracks swiftly appeared.

At last, Zhou Xindie came to her senses, hastily formed a spell with her hands, and quickly activated the long silk ribbon to defend.

Just before the barrier shattered completely, she managed to drive the long silk ribbon to sweep away the short spear artifact.

However, due to the barrier's collapse, her blue-and-white treasure bead artifact was temporarily rendered unusable, leaving her without a strong defensive magic artifact.

Xie Cunrui wouldn't miss such an opportunity to widen his advantage. With another wave of his feather fan, he conjured a green-and-white Wind Flood Dragon that furiously pounced towards Zhou Xindie.

Under such relentless assault, Zhou Xindie was compelled to use a talisman in advance.

Lifting her hand, she quickly burned a talisman, which transformed into a blue wave rushing toward the incoming Wind Flood Dragon.
