chapter 17 Xiao family annual meeting

When Ethan Sigeweard and the others walked out of the cave, it was already a day later. Ethan's cultivation had completely stabilized at the mid-stage Battle Master level. He still had several fourth-ranked Soul Crystal that he was reluctant to use, which were the basis for his continued breakthrough. "Mr. Snow Lion, see you later." Ethan slightly cupped his hands towards the Snow Lion and said. "Roar!" The Snow Lion nodded, took a deep look at Ethan, and then pushed the Snow Lion cub rescued by Ethan in front of Ethan, which made Ethan dumbfounded. The Snow Lion cub suddenly roared continuously, with a look of anxiety in its eyes. It didn't know that its mother was chasing it away. Similarly, the Snow Lion was roaring angrily, but with a look of determination in its eyes. The low roar of the Snow Lion cub was a bit sad. After a while, the Snow Lion and the other two cubs disappeared from the sight of Ethan and the others. Ethan froze in place. How didn't he realize what the Snow Lion meant? She wanted the Snow Lion cub to follow him out of the Sunset Mountain Range. "Bastard, you are so lucky. The Snow Lion dare to trust you and leave her cub with you." The Little Witch's eyes were full of envy. Ethan remained silent. He knew that when the Snow Lion handed the cub to him, it was definitely not just a matter of repaying a favor, but because he was interested in something in himself, such as the ability of the white stone. Ethan quietly watched the Snow Lion take the other two Snow Lion cubs far away inside the Sunset Mountain Range. It was not until they completely disappeared from sight that Ethan calmed down. He looked down at the Snow Lion cub roaring softly at his feet and said, "Are you willing to follow me? If not, then stay in this mountain range. If you are willing, from now on, you will be my Ethan's friend." Ethan touched the Snow Lion cub's head. Within a day, the golden hair on its body had grown a lot, at least it didn't look so ugly anymore. "Roar!" The Snow Lion cub roared and nodded, rubbing its head affectionately on Ethan thigh. "Then leave with me. If I am popular, then you are also popular. From now on, I will call you Little Gold Lion." Ethan said with a smile, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart. He was very curious about what a mutated fifth-ranked soul beast cub would grow to in the future. The Snow Lion cub calmed down its sadness and crawled in front of Ethan. Ethan hesitated for a moment, then turned over and sat on it, then turned into a stream of light and shot towards the distance. "Stinky hooligan, stinking lion, wait for me." The Little Witch stamped her feet angrily, her chest heaving and swaying, and a white snow was about to come out. Then she stepped on her body and Battle Skill and quickly followed. The two people and one lion were galloping through the mountains and forests, aiming directly in the direction of Sigeweard City. Ethan had a sharp aura in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Sigeweard family, I'm coming!" In the Sigeweard family, the annual meeting had finally arrived. The Sigeweard Mansion was bustling with people, and the Cultivator who had been practicing abroad had all returned to the family. Everyone was gearing up and eager to give it a try. Over the past year, most people had been practicing hard just to perform well today, right? "I heard that the Elder Young Master has already reached the Peak-stage Warrior, and may even have reached the early stage of being a Battle Master. It seems that the champion of this year's annual meeting is none other than the Elder Young Master." "That's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten someone? She left Sigeweard City three years ago and went to Ysleve City to practice. It is heard that she will be back at this annual meeting. Moreover, it is said that she has already broken through to the Battle Master realm. ” "Are you talking about the Miss. Stella? The Stella's talent is not weaker than that of the eldest Elder Young Master, and she also possesses a Fourth-grade Battle Soul Frostblade. It seems that this annual meeting is really interesting." "More than just interesting, I heard that as long as Ethan dares to go to the battlefield, the Elder Young Master will personally break his legs and let him spend the rest of his life in bed. At that time, even the Family Master will not be able to say anything." There was a lot of discussion in the Sigeweard family, and everyone had great expectations and longing for the next Sigeweard family annual meeting. At this time, outside the Sigeweard Mansion, five Golden Azure Wolf came with waves of hurricane winds. The two-meter-high and four-meter-long Golden Azure Wolf were extremely eye-catching. They were peak Third-ranked Soul Beast beasts, but at this moment Just acting as a mount? On the back of the Golden Azure Wolf in the front was an extremely enchanting and beautiful woman, wearing a golden phoenix-tail dress, which makes her look extremely noble, like a fairy who has shed fairy dust. She has a proud face and cold eyes. Ignoring everything, she drove the Golden Azure Wolf and galloped over. "Miss, Miss!" The guards of the Sigeweard family shouted respectfully. Even when they treated Liam, they were not so polite. They did not even dare to look directly at the woman. It was obvious that the woman was the one who went to Ysleve City to practice, Stella. Without squinting, Stella rode the Golden Azure Wolf directly into the Sigeweard Mansion gate. He was as proud as a princess. The four people behind him followed closely and entered the Sigeweard Mansion. As for the Sigeweard family servants, Stella didn't even look at them. "Miss. Stella is better than ever. The champion of this annual meeting must be Miss. Stella." A guard looked into Stella's eyes and said with emotion, and the other guards couldn't help but nod. The Sigeweard family's martial arts training ground was overcrowded. In the center of the martial arts training ground, there were sixteen round platforms made of stone. The stone platforms were surrounded by young people from the Sigeweard family. Today was the annual meeting of the Sigeweard family, and everyone was slightly excited, ready to show off their talents and won the recognition of the family's senior leaders. At this moment, Stella and the other five galloped over on Golden Azure Wolf. Their powerful aura scared everyone in the Sigeweard family to move out of the way, and most people's eyes fell on Stella who was the leader. In the crowd, Liam narrowed his eyes slightly, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Stella, how dare you come back?" Although most people looked at Stella with awe, some Mr. Snow Lion members of the Sigeweard family had cold expressions on their faces. Some of them even almost rushed forward, wanting to tear Stella into pieces. Of course, There is no shortage of people who take pleasure in others' misfortune forever. "The Family Master has arrived." With a sharp shout, an old man with a majestic face and gray temples walked from the entrance of the martial arts arena and walked straight towards the high platform. The old man was Christopher Sigeweard, the Old Master of Sigeweard. With the appearance of Christopher, the scene instantly became quiet. Christopher walked to the seat in the center of the high platform, glanced at Stella in the distance with his peripheral vision, then looked at a middle-aged man in black next to him, and said lightly, "Since everyone is here, let's get started.” The annual meeting was a tradition for most families in the Battle Soul Continent. It was actually a test of the cultivation of the family's children to see how much progress they have made within this year. After all, the younger generation represented the hope of the family, and this annual meeting would also play a supervisory role. The family would give ample recognition and rewards to outstanding young children. The content of the annual meeting was naturally actual combat. Only in actual combat could a person's strength be truly tested. The middle-aged man in black nodded and said loudly, "The rules of the annual meeting are the same as in previous years. In the first round, you will guard the fighting stage. There are sixteen fighting stages in the training field. You can choose the fighting stage at will. Who can persist until the end can step to the next round." As soon as he finished speaking, the young children of the Sigeweard family walked towards the sixteen battle stages on the martial arts field. The annual meeting of the Sigeweard family finally began!
