A Failure's hopeful Journey

The whole arena was in shock after hearing these words from You Xi Wang. You family was now under tremendous stress as they never expected You Xi Wang to say something like this.

You Zhichi, You Naixin, Chen Qianbei and Emily had no color on their faces, but before they could even process what just took place they saw You Xiwangs figure flash on the battle stage.

You Xi Wang was moving all over the stage, his spear slashing the air, it looked more like a dance than an offensive technique. The air blades formed by the slashing spear gathered and form an illusionary shape of a dragon.

Some elders in the VIP pavilion held their breaths as they saw the potential of this move, in their eyes You Xi Wang has become an incarnation of the war god who was dancing in the battlefield with his spear and a dragon at beck and call.

You Shan Wang was utterly shocked, he tried to disrupt You Xi Wang's movements repeatedly, but the air pressure made it difficult for him to close the distance. The whole duel arena has descended into a storm.

The pressure around the stage has reached a terrifying level, You Zhichi and the others who were sitting beside the stage were having trouble breathing, Chen Qianbei and You Naixin created a spiritual energy barrier around the young You family people. Chen Qianbei had a surprised look on her face as she said, "Xi Wang has grown very strong for his level" You Naixin nodded with her eyes fixed at the dancing figure on the stage.

Suddenly You Xi Wang's figure came to an abrupt halt, and he shouted while thrusting his spear at You Shan Wang "Piercing Dragon". The dragon figure moved forward with its mouth wide open as if it will swallow You Shan Wang, but before it reached him, You Xi Wang commanded the dragon figure to collide with the ground, right in front of You Shan Wang.

'BOOM!!!' a deafening blast took place collapsing the duel stage, forming a dust cloud. When the dust settled only half of the battle stage was left intact while the other half was already dust and rubble. On the intact side stood a lean figure holding the spear in his hand, his face and chest were covered with blood, his hair was waving in the wind and his eyes were firm, dominating as if an emperor looking down on the world. While on the other side, from the rubble crawled out a sorry looking figure, although his face was deathly pale, his hair was a mess, but he didn't have a single scratch. These two figures were none other than You Xi Wang and You Shan Wang, respectively.

"I admit defeat" spoke You Shan Wang with a bitter smile on his face. The referee nodded and announced in a solemn voice, "You Shan Wang admits defeat, The winner of this duel is You Xi Wang"

Thunderous applause shook the arena, You Xi Wang heaved a sigh of relief and slightly bowed to the audience and his elders. He stepped down from the stage and before he could think of what to do Chen Qianbei appeared in front of him and pulled him into her warm embrace not minding the blood over him as she said: "big sister will be proud of you kiddo, you have grown strong."

You Xi Wang had already realized who this person was and hugged her back as he mumbled, "thank you for being here, aunt." following this he greeted the nine elders and paid his respects to them. As he moved forward, he came to stand in front of You Naixin, who was looking at him with a smile and pride, You Xi Wang smiled and he joked: "Say granny how come you always look so young, even after being a granny?" You Naixin grabbed his ear between her thumb and index finger while scolding him jokingly: "brat, do you want granny to give you a special patting on your bum?"

You Xiwang chuckled, and he replied softly: "aii, sorry granny, I promise I won't tease you ever again. Please let go of my ear or it will come apart. And how come you arrived so late? Do you not love us anymore?"

You Naixin immediately let go of his ear and hugged him in her embrace, his face pressed in her surplus bosom, and she said in a motherly tone: "Xi Wang granny didn't know about the plight of our family, forgive me for being too late, but do not worry, I will let no harm come to you and Zhichi ever again."

"Okay, but release me please, I can't breathe, these mountains are suffocating me, granny." You Xi Wang said in a muffled voice. After he was released, he panted, somewhat exaggerating, again incurring the ear twisting punishment from You Naixin but he jumped away, this time, he was ready for her attack and jovially teased her: "You are getting older, granny xin."

You Zhichi who has been waiting silently for all this while moved to stand in front of her brother and unexpectedly slapped him straight across his face, her actions stunned everyone in the arena, but You Xi Wang smiled slightly and said in an apologetic tone while rubbing the back of his head: "Forgive me, big sis, I made a mistake in the battle and made you worry."

It was now that everyone realized that she slapped him for getting hurt during the battle. That was how much she loved her brother. Everyone felt warm when they witnessed the bond between these two.

You Xi Wang hurriedly hugged her as he saw her eyes turning red and appeased her with a joke: "come on, don't cry, please, see I am fine now and if you cry, you will get older faster, Granny xin and Aunt bei both have wrinkles from crying and worrying and they have covered them with makeup. Do you want to end up being my Granny instead of big sis by looking that old?"

Although his words caused his sister to giggle, two pairs of enchanting eyes gave him a death stare. He ran away quickly while shouting behind him: "I need to visit my doctor." Everyone from You family chuckled at his antics.

You Ziyou announced after he walked up the stage, "You Xi Wang is now officially the master of You family, he is not present here as he needed to get his injuries treated before they get any worse. You family apologizes to all the guests, but please do not leave if it is not important, You family will host a dinner banquet tonight to celebrate today's event. You are all invited."

The servants and volunteers of You family led the guests to their arranged lodgings while the family started preparations for the dinner banquet.
