Supreme system

In the Martial Arts Arena, the crowd gathered. As Xiao Shan and Xiao Lei entered the platform, the atmosphere immediately reached a climax.

Seeing no one on the platform, the announcer began, "Are there only these two people? If that's the case, then the competition will begin..."

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, Xiao Hai glanced at Xiao Fa. He muttered, "Someone's missing."

"Someone's missing?" Stunned, the emcee looked at Xiao Hai.

"The son of the head of the family, Xiao Chen! He has yet to arrive! Reason dictates that he has to participate in the competition, as the young master of the family!"

Xiao Hai twiddled his fingers as he uttered those words casually.

From the platform, Xiao Shan echoed with a hint of mockery, "Yes, Xiao Chen isn't here yet. Probably because he's afraid."

"Master Xiao, may I ask where Xiao Chen is? As the young master of the clan, there's no reason for him to be absent from the competition."

Sitting high up in the stands, Xiao Fa glanced at Xiao Shan and said coolly, "Xiao Shan, I don't need your concerns! Don't worry, Xiao Chen will not be absent!"

"That's good. I was worried that he would not dare to come. After all, Master Xiao, you only have one son. If he dies unexpectedly, that would be awful."

Xiao Shan chortled under his breath.

As they talked, two servants carried Xiao Chen to the martial arts platform.

Xiao Chen could be seen lounging on a reclining chair. After a short period of shock, the crowd suddenly burst into a ruckus. They pointed at Xiao Chen, shook their heads, and sighed.

"F*ck, he's still sleeping in an event as momentous as the family competition! What a loser!"

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen someone sleeping so soundly. Is he a pig?"

"What a disgrace to the Xiao family!"

Xiao Shan glimpsed at Xiao Chen. A brief iciness flashed through his eyes. He sneered but said nothing.

It was good enough that Xiao Chen dared to show up. He would let him know what it meant to live a life worse than death!

"Alright, since everyone is here, let the competition begin!"

The emcee's eyelid twitched and he hollered, "Now, we will draw lots to decide who will go up against each other!"

Upon hearing that, all the youths present went forward to draw lots.

A servant went forward and picked one on Xiao Chen's behalf.

"Let's begin with the first round! Participant No. 1 against Participant No. 2!"

The emcee boomed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Shan walked out with a smile and said casually, "I'm Participant No. 2. Participant No. 1, come on out!"

He then looked at Xiao Chen.

Everyone followed his gaze to look in Xiao Chen's direction too.

The servant standing next to Xiao Chen was flabbergasted as he anxiously glanced at the paper in his hand. His face suddenly turned pale, and he said with a somber face, "Young Master, he... he is... Participant No. 1."

Everyone gasped at his words.

"Xiao Chen really is unlucky."

He would meet the powerful Xiao Shan in just the first round!

"That's fine. That good-for-nothing will definitely lose against Xiao Shan!"

Xiao Yan's eyes glimmered and he murmured, "This will save us from a future disaster!"

When the geniuses of the Xiao family heard his words, their eyes lit up too as they nodded in agreement.

He was right. Xiao Chen's fight with Xiao Shan meant that the other participants such as themselves would not face such a horrifying enemy as Xiao Shan for the time being.

Also, none of their own would be eliminated in the first round.

It was for the best.

On the platform.

Xiao Shan suddenly took a step forward and shouted, "Xiao Chen, come and meet your death!"

His voice rumbled like thunder.

Boom!

His voice was the only sound traversing the entire Martial Arts Field.

"What terrifying strength!"

"Xiao Shan, is he still at Level Eight of the Body-refining Realm? He's so powerful!"

"We're far from being his match! It's a good thing that Xiao Chen is the first against such a strong opponent. Otherwise, we'd be in trouble."

The martial artists on the fighting platform all stepped back to give the two ample room for their fight.

"Why is it so noisy? Ugh, how annoying."

Xiao Chen rubbed his eyes and woke up blearily. He was sound asleep when he heard someone calling his name faintly, which woke him up. He was somewhat displeased.

"Trash, are you awake?"

Xiao Shan asked disdainfully with his hands behind his back.

"Eh? Xiao Shan? You're back?"

Xiao Chen looked over. The moment he saw Xiao Shan, he understood what was going on. "Has the family competition begun?"

Xiao Chen rubbed his nose. He had woken up once seven days ago. Yet, the family competition had already begun the next time he woke up...

He had slept for ages, it seemed.

"Haha, you don't even know that the competition's started?"

Xiao Shan smirked sardonically. He looked at Xiao Chen as if he was looking at nothing more than a corpse.

"Come and die at my hands."

Xiao Shan looked down at Xiao Chen from high up, and said mercilessly, "I don't know how you beat Xiao Feng so badly that time, but you will die in front of me today!"

As those words left his lips, Xiao Chen, with a face that still smacked of sleepiness, yawned from the boredom.

"Very well, take my punch too."

Xiao Chen lazily clenched his fist and threw a punch.

"Dreaming Fist!"

"Hehe, how dare you fight fist-to-fist against Xiao Shan? You really have a death wish!"

Xiao Hai laughed merrily and mocked Xiao Chen. With utter confidence, he said joyfully, "Xiao Fa, look carefully! Your son is going to be smashed to pieces!"

The others there also gave Xiao Chen looks of pity. Xiao Shan was a genius at the Eighth Level of the Body-refining Realm; his fists were unmatched!

That being said, Xiao Chen chose to go up against him bare-fisted. He really overestimated himself.

"What a shame for Xiao Chen. I'm afraid he's going to be pummeled to a pulp."

"It's a pity! If he knelt down to beg for mercy, he might have still had a chance to live. Now, his death is certain!"

The crowd sighed.

Right at that moment. Bang!

A dull sound ensued. Following it, everyone was shocked to see Xiao Shan hurtling backward at breakneck speed.

While still suspended in midair, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Plop!

Xiao Shan fell to the ground, his eyes rolling in their sockets.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, withdrew his fist and lay back on the reclining chair.
