Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Lanzhou, Yunyue Mountain Range.

After seven days of continuous combat spanning over a hundred battles, the A-group had finally determined the top six families.

Among them, the Jiang Family from Lingzhou, which the Zhou Family had been closely monitoring, was also prominently listed.

Following the conclusion of the A-group, the thirty-four families of the B-group took the stage for their own bouts.

After enduring eight more days of fighting, the top six in the B-group were also eventually determined.

What caused the Zhou Family members' hearts to sink was that when the top six of the B-group were decided, there indeed were two families with the same score.

Then, when the referees from the three major sects decided who would advance, they quite expectedly favored the family with a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator.

This outcome cast additional shadows over the Zhou Family's prospects of breaking into the top thirty.

But as things stood, they could only forge ahead with all their might.

"Third match of the C-group, Zhou Family of Lanzhou versus Cai Family of Lianzhou!"

By the time it was the C-group's turn, the Zhou Family was scheduled rather early and was the third to compete.

Hearing the words of the Golden Elixir Cultivator Bi Qiuyue from the Moon Wheel Sect, Zhou Mingde immediately stood up and said, "The strength of the Cai Family from Lianzhou is similar to that of the Wang Family, we should have this match in the bag. Let's quickly dispose of our opponents!"

As families under the banner of the Green Lotus Temple, the Zhou Family had long ago gathered and organized information on direct vassal families like the Cai Family of Lianzhou, so they were quite aware of the Cai Family's strength.

Similarly, the Cai Family was also well-informed about the Zhou Family, an external family that had become quite prominent in Lanzhou in recent years.

Thus, when the family members from both sides took to the stage, the faces of the Cai Family cultivators were grave.

It could be seen that each family only had one Purple Mansion Cultivator in the Purple Mansion Venue.

In the Foundation Establishment Venue, the Zhou Family had two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Cai Family had two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, one mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

There's not much to say about the Qi Refining Venue; both sides had ten clan members at the twelfth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

At first glance, the Cai Family seemed to have a slight advantage in the Foundation Establishment Venue.

But in reality, they were keenly aware of the Zhou Family's strengths and what formidable opponents they were up against.

"I've long heard of Taoist Friend Zhou's great reputation, and today I finally have the honor to meet you, what a pleasure!"

Below the arena, Supreme Elder Cai Dongsheng of the Cai Family looked up at the soaring Zhou Mingde and was the first to greet him with a clasped-hand salute.

Seeing the other party's politeness, Zhou Mingde naturally would not be rude, and he also clasped his hands in salute, saying, "Taoist Friend Cai, I too have long heard of your name. It is my honor to meet you today!"

Then, the two exchanged smiles, extended their hands simultaneously, and said, "Please, after you."

Soon, the two had assimilated their Array Command Tokens and ascended the stage together.

"Taoist Friend Cai, my apologies!"

Once on the stage, Zhou Mingde's expression changed, and with a polite, "My apologies," he immediately released his Spirit Pet, the Fire Divine Jackal.

Seeing the three-tailed demon beast with flames blazing over its body, not only did Cai Dongsheng from the opposite side have an unpleasant expression, many spectators outside the arena also let out gasps.

"The Hundred Families Tournament" had been going on for a while now, and it was no longer a strange occurrence for a cultivator's Spirit Pet to appear on stage.

But this was the first time someone like Zhou Mingde had summoned a third-tier Demon Beast Spirit Pet.

What was originally a one-on-one battle suddenly turned into a two-on-one.

The audience, who initially thought the match might be a prolonged battle, no longer harbored any hopes for Cai Dongsheng at this point.

Indeed, once Zhou Mingde and the Fire Divine Jackal launched a joint attack, Cai Dongsheng was immediately put on the defensive and had no opportunity to counter.

Just like Zhou Mingde had told Zhou Chun and the others, he had no intention of drawing out the fight with Cai Dongsheng, showing no quarter.

As a result, after less than thirty minutes of combat, Cai Dongsheng was forced to concede defeat. Find your adventure at empire

He still wanted to lead the Cai Family to greater heights and did not wish to exhaust all his strength in a battle he could not win against Zhou Mingde.

Around the same time, the Foundation Establishment Venue began.

Once on the field, Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan each released two second-tier Spirit Pets, instantly casting gloom over the faces of the five Cai Family cultivators.

"Isn't this bullying? Five Foundation Establishment cultivators along with five second-tier Spirit Pets, the Zhou Family is just too shameless!"

"Exactly, it was supposed to be five against five, how did it become five people with five pets ganging up on five others!"

"What's the origin of this Zhou Family? How did they manage to have two second-tier Spirit Pets per person? It looks like the origins of those Spirit Pets are also quite extraordinary!"

Outside the arena, the onlookers were astounded by the Zhou Family's lineup, and their jaws dropped, some of them feeling indignant on behalf of the Cai Family.

Some families from territories governed by the Moon Wheel Sect and Sunflame Sect, who hadn't heard much about the Zhou Family before, now feeling threatened by their strong lineup, were expressing astonishment while also inquiring about the Zhou Family's background.

"To my fellow Daoists of the Cai Family, my apologies!"

On the stage, Zhou Daoyi greeted the other party with a clasp of his hands and a smile, then swiftly commenced his assault.

Together with Zhou Daoquan, he took on the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Cai Family, leaving Zhou Chun to deal with their mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, at best, could barely keep up with Zhou Chun alone for a few exchanges. Yet, with Zhou Chun's Spirit Pet added to the mix, there was absolutely no chance of competing.

Zhou Chun reached for his Storage Pouch at his waist, and the "Sun Glare Wheel" burst forth like a golden sun, bombarding his opponent.
