C80 New Rule

"Dugu Hong, the young genius of Tiancheng Empire, is he that strong?" Guo Nan frowned and asked.

"In the past years, Dan Yuan Stage One was enough to allow one to become number one among the new students. However, this session was different. It was all because of a treasure that was unearthed in the Cillin Holy Land half a year ago. "The rank of that treasure is unknown, and there is no specific use for it. The families who were involved in the treasure hunt shared the treasure equally. The younger generation of the families who got the treasure have become much stronger. They have all reached the Danyuan stage."

Dugu Hong smiled bitterly as he shook his head and said, "Because of some connections, we Dugu Hong did not participate in the treasure hunt. Otherwise, it is possible that the younger generation of the Dan Yuan Stage would appear in our Dugu Family."

"Brother Dugu, you should actually feel fortunate. Even if your family were to obtain that treasure, it wouldn't be on your head, right? At that time, you were in Misty Rain Pavilion, and could not compete, so the strength of the rest of your clan increased sharply. However, if you stay put and wait for a few years to fight for the clan's benefits, you would have no advantage at all. Even the position of Patriarch is not up to you. "

After hearing Guo Nan's words, Dugu Hong was stunned, but he quickly nodded his head in agreement, and said: "You are right, I am indeed becoming more and more unpopular in the clan. Me, my father, and my aunt have weakened, and I no longer have much authority in the clan. "My brothers and sisters are fighting for power and power, turning the family into a sea of smoke."

"Brother and brother?" Didn't you say that you Dugu Family guys are very thin? " Guo Nan frowned and asked.

"That's right, us Dugu Family men are very thin. Including me, there are only eight men in my generation." Dugu Hong said as a matter of fact.

"Eight is still not enough?"

"Very little. Among the eight great clans of Tianwu City, the men of our Dugu Family are only one-tenth of the rest."

"You Tianwu City people really know how to live!" Guo Nan sighed in speechlessness.

Compared to the Tianwu City, their Guo Family was far too weak.

Sigh, a man is very thin, and also has a strong internal conflict. If things continue like this, in a few decades, Dugu Family will be pushed out of the top eight families. Dugu Hong asked worriedly.

"Tell me about that treasure. I'll try my best to get it for you so that you can increase your strength."

"Young Master Nan, you have already given me the Superior Grade Profound Ranked Sword Technique. Relying on that sword manual, if I train diligently, I will one day stand out. Stealing from other families will bring you great trouble. "

"Tell me what it is. Maybe I need it too?"

Seeing that Guo Nan's attitude was firm, Dugu Hong hesitated for a while, then said softly: "Allegedly, it was seven pieces of the remains, and they were divided evenly among the rest of the Seven Great Families s. Our Dugu Family was excluded and did not participate in the search for treasures in the Cillin Holy Land. "

"Remains of the strong? To be able to rely on a skeleton to increase one's strength, one had to be a martial artist at the eighth level of the Spirit Origin Stage Remains of the strong. In the Tiancheng Empire, have there ever been any powerhouses of that level? "

"No, not a single one. The strongest person in the history of the Tiancheng Empire is Ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage."

"A Spirit Origin Stage cultivator would basically not die by accident, unless they were attacked by someone of the same level or higher. Have you investigated clearly, do you think those seven remains belong to one person or two people? "

"The remains of one person. Only seven pieces were found."

"If that's the case, then it's easy to settle it. In that so called Cillin Holy Land, there must definitely be other strong warriors' remains. When I find a chance, I will bring you there."

Guo Nan beamed. Naturally, he did not need that sort of thing, but many big families would fight for it. After obtaining the remains, they could let the Dugu Family occupy some of them. As for the rest, they could be sold for money in exchange for Red Cannon …

"Good!" Once the Freshmen Competition is over, there will be a trial of the Cillin Holy Land soon. At that time, I will fight for the position of the senior student's leader and go with you to the Cillin Holy Land. " Dugu Hong said as his eyes burned with passion.

"Tell me what you know. Tell me about the hatred between the young man at the sixth level of the Dan Yuan Realm and your Dugu Family. Tell me everything. Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is the best way to win a hundred battles."

Hearing that, Dugu Hong organized his thoughts and explained slowly.

In the Tiancheng Empire, royal authority was not too great. The entire Tiancheng Empire could be considered to be under the control of the eight great families and the royal family. Among them, the Royal Family occupied the most territory, the best. The other families controlled the smaller territories. In the Tiancheng Empire, the eight great families and the royal family were at peace for a long time.

However, in the past few decades, the number of men in Dugu Family had dwindled, becoming a hidden concern. The rest of the families had glared at them like tigers eyeing their prey, wanting to swallow the Dugu Family whole. As for the Nangong Family secretly supporting the Dugu Family, they could temporarily protect the position of the Dugu Family, but relying on the Nangong Imperial Clan's help was not a long term plan. The best solution is to have more children

Because of this, there were many wives in Dugu Family, but daughters were born one after another. Male servants were rarely seen, and they became the laughingstock of Tianwu City.

The one who wanted to get rid of Dugu Family the most was the strongest of the remaining seven families, the Han Family. The Han Family members were strong and robust, they were young and talented like Dugu Hong, they were in their early 200s.

After Guo Nan found out about the situation, he felt that Tianwu City was comparing himself to a boy, not competing in strength.

In actuality, in the Tiancheng Empire, a large clan where males flourished was a type of strength. The more males there were, the higher the chances of geniuses appearing. The more talents there was, the more strong the warriors would be. In Tianwu City and the Tianwu Academy, they would have more authority to speak.

The Tiancheng Empire was controlled by the royal family and the eight great families, and it was the same for the Tianwu Academy. Below the principal, there were eight seats for Senior Assembly Leader, a total of eight people, who held all the power within the Tianwu Academy. The position of the dean was extraordinary, and so was the position of the Senior Assembly Leader. There were even some aspects where they were not worse than the dean. The ten-year rotational system made it possible for every family member to ascend to the position of dean. Under the command of the eight great elders of the Meeting Group, to recruit disciples, whichever faction was the strongest, would have the most training.

For example, Dugu Hong's third grandfather, the one speaking of the Dugu Family in the Tianwu Academy, had not been able to recruit any genius disciples in the recent few years. His influence was getting weaker and weaker, until he was almost proposed to be expelled from the discussion hall. Once a vacancy appeared, it would have to be replaced by someone from the Dugu Family. However, the power in their hands would be even smaller …

No other clan would want to see that kind of situation. If a clan member of a later generation of a clan and a member of the faction of a subordinate clan were to be pushed around by the Tianwu Academy, it would be extremely difficult for them to recover. Even if they lost their Meeting Group's qualifications, they wouldn't be far from falling out of the top eight clans.

Dugu Mei had high expectations for Guo Nan, and that was the reason why she wanted to rely on Guo Nan to support her Dugu Family's qualifications.

If it were the previous sessions, Guo Nan would undoubtedly be the number one genius. However, it wouldn't be easy to get first place in this year's competition.

Those who brought birth order s to the Tianwu Academy in the past could directly become new students and join the Tianwu Academy. For the young geniuses of the Tiancheng Empire, the children of the large families would naturally be able to obtain the birth order, but for the small clans and the common people, they would have to register to become the outer court disciples and work for the Tianwu Academy for a year before they could participate in the examination.

And this year, for some unknown reason, the President of the Tianwu Academy and the eight great elders had decided that those who registered for the Tianwu Academy with birth order would also become disciples for a month. The level of the birth order, as a kind of integral pattern, could be considered as the final assessment. During the period of one month that she was a disciple, she would contribute to the Tianwu Academy and also get points.

This decision naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the disciples of the large clans. However, the authority of the Tianwu Academy was there, whether you came or not.
