A year ago, Long Zishan hadn’t used any family martial techniques and had abused Long Ziyang like a cat playing with a mouse, making him run chaotically all over the martial arts arena.

A year later, he executed the Long Family’s exclusive movement technique, fist technique, and palm technique, yet was completely suppressed by Long Ziyang and knocked down unable to rise after two moves.

For Li Qingyang and the others, junior brother achieving this was nothing more than normal operation, since he was only one or two ranks below them now.

However.

For the Long Family direct descendants, this was absolutely shocking and stunning!

Long Potian was so excited his hands were trembling, and the happy expression on his face could no longer be hidden no matter how hard he tried!

If they weren’t still holding the competition, he would definitely turn around solemnly and bow to Jun Changxiao in respect.

His son had been incompetent in the Long Family and suffered endless humiliation from his own clan.

As a father, he saw it all and felt the pain in his heart, yet couldn’t do anything about it.

Every Long Family direct descendant who wanted to establish themselves in the Long Family had to become powerful themselves!

Weak in strength?

Deserved to be bullied!

Such a family was very cruel, very lacking in human warmth.

But it was precisely because of this that, in order not to be bullied, in order not to be coldly treated by the higher-ups, the direct descendants continuously became stronger, causing the Long Family to gradually become powerful.

In a world where martial prowess was supreme, what was emphasized was—survival of the fittest, the strong survive.

Later, the Long Family Head could no longer endure it and could only adopt the Second Elder’s suggestion to send Long Ziyang to manage the family business.

Although he would be mediocre for a lifetime, at least he wouldn’t be bullied within the family.

However, Long Potian never imagined that Long Ziyang would run away from home, would join the Iron Bones Clanging Sect, would bring Sect Leader Jun and numerous senior brothers back before the family competition!

Even more unexpected.

Today, on the martial arts arena.

He had defeated Long Zishan, one of the family’s strongest direct descendants, with absolute strength.

Looking at his son’s back, recalling how every time he had been bullied in the past, he would sit alone and lonely in a corner, burying his head between his legs—the Long Family Head’s eyes gradually became moist.

Just then, Jun Changxiao passed over a tissue and said, “Your son making something of himself is a matter of tears of joy. As someone who’s been through it, I can understand.”

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others were stunned.

Someone who’s been through it?

Could it be the Sect Leader has children?

He had jack squat—it was just something he said casually to give the tearful Long Potian a way out.

“Sect Leader Jun.”

The Long Family Head didn’t take the tissue, but instead said very earnestly, “My son being able to join the Tiegu Sect and be guided and instructed by you is his good fortune.”

He had said similar words before, but that was just being polite. Now it was from the heart.

Jun Changxiao said, “I also want to thank Family Head Long for giving birth to such a talented and hardworking son, allowing this seat to be proud of him.”

…

“Bang!”

On the martial arts arena, Long Ziyang kicked the fallen Long Zishan off with one foot, then walked off under everyone’s gaze.

On the road to the Long Family, he had thought about how he would abuse the clansmen who had once bullied him, and also thought that feeling would definitely be great, but when he actually experienced it, he discovered it was just so-so.

Mainly because he was too strong. There was no dramatic twist in the battle, no prolonged back-and-forth fighting, so it made him feel it wasn’t exciting enough, not stimulating enough.

The competition continued.

Long Ziyang continued to fight, successively defeating Long Family direct descendants in the top eight battle and top four battle.

Since his opponents weren’t even as good as Long Zishan, he won very easily.

Before long.

The strongest group final battle commenced.

This type of battle determining championship ownership was often the most exciting, and it was even normal for two competitors to fight for three to five chapters.

But in the Eternal Strongest Sect, especially with Tiegu Sect disciples participating, things didn’t follow the usual path.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The finals began. Long Ziyang’s Explosive Fist and Mountain Splitting Palm were successively executed, beginning a mode of explosive hammering of the Long Family direct descendant.

In the end, that Fourth Cousin couldn’t withstand it and was beaten into a stumbling retreat, sitting down with a thud outside the martial arts arena.

“…”

The corners of the Long Family direct descendants’ mouths twitched.

Actually, when Long Ziyang defeated Long Zishan, they already knew that the championship of this competition with the highest gold content was already in his pocket.

But unexpectedly, after fighting through the entire competition, that guy hadn’t even taken a heavy breath.

This was absolutely crushing!

“Ding! Side quest completed. Congratulations to host for obtaining 500 contribution points.”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 1600/5000.”

Jun Changxiao smiled.

When Long Ziyang had applied to return home and told of his tragic circumstances, the system had issued a side quest with the content—personally witness disciple Long Ziyang win first place in the Long Family competition.

…

The strongest group competition had ended, but that didn’t mean the family competition was over, because next came the challenge declaration segment.

“Long Zihe!”

Long Ziyang strode onto the martial arts arena, pointed at a Long Family direct descendant, and said, “Come up and fight!”

The direct descendants who had bullied him in the Long Family were numerous. Some were also in the strongest group but hadn’t been matched up, so naturally he wouldn’t let them go—he had to beat them one by one!

“…”

The corner of Long Zihe’s mouth twitched.

Although he knew he couldn’t possibly defeat Long Ziyang, he still walked up with a bitter face.

At the Long Family’s competition, being challenged by a fellow direct descendant, even if one’s strength was weak, one still had to fight. This was a rule established long ago.

“Bang bang bang!”

As soon as Long Zihe got on stage, he was treated to Long Ziyang’s fists, and by the time he was sent flying off, his face had swollen into a pig’s head.

“Long Ziming, come up and fight!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Before long, the Long Family direct descendant called Long Ziming was also wildly abused, then lay outside the arena with his whole body twitching.

Half an hour later.

All those Long Family direct descendants who had bullied him in previous years, especially at last year’s competition, were all called up by Long Ziyang for a beating, and the whole family lay neatly on the ground.

Last year, during the challenge declaration segment, Long Ziyang had been a punching bag, challenged one by one by Long Family direct descendants. Now it was him alone standing on the stage, treating a group of Long Family direct descendants as sandbags to abuse.

Satisfying.

Too damn satisfying!

The resentment accumulated from being bullied by his clansmen was vented out through repeatedly crushing his opponents. Long Ziyang not only felt refreshed and clear-headed, he also felt the entire world was extraordinarily beautiful!

But it wasn’t exciting enough, not satisfying enough!

“Long Zi…”

Just as he was about to call out another direct descendant’s name, he was suddenly interrupted: “That’s about enough.”

The voice didn’t come from the martial arts arena, but from the inner courtyard.

In an instant, all the Long Family direct descendants turned their heads to look, and saw a man about twenty years old leaning against the door frame, his face showing no expression whatsoever.

“First Cousin!” Everyone exclaimed in shock.

Long Potian frowned and said, “Isn’t he in closed-door cultivation? Why did he come out at this time?”

Jun Changxiao also looked over and said, “This person seems quite formidable.”

The system said, “Saint-grade spirit root, eighth-rank Martial Master.”

“Saint-grade?”

Jun Changxiao frowned and said, “This is a top genius comparable to Lingquan Sect’s Gu Zhaojiu!”

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others all looked over as well.

If this weren’t junior brother Long’s home turf, they might have forcibly stepped forward once to challenge this top genius with a Saint-grade spirit root.

Long Ziyang’s expression changed slightly.

First Cousin was absolutely the strongest existence among the Long Family direct descendants.

Although he hadn’t bullied him in daily life, he had never shown him a good face either.

“Of course.”

Long Zixuan said, “If you haven’t beaten enough, you can challenge me.”

Long Ziyang’s brows relaxed, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said, “This way, it will be exciting.”

“Long Zixuan!”

He stood on the martial arts arena, pointing with one hand toward Long Zixuan standing in the inner courtyard, and declared loudly, “Come up and fight!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Long Family direct descendants and Long Family elders all widened their eyes without exception.

This guy… actually challenged the Long Family’s strongest direct descendant!

Long Potian was also greatly surprised, but seeing his son’s proud expression, he instead felt incomparably gratified and incomparably proud, thinking to himself, “This is my son Long Potian, this is a Long Family direct descendant!”

More precisely.

This is what an Iron Bones Clanging Sect disciple should be!!
