Jiangzhou's Dragon Vein Family, the Yu Family.

All young descendants of the Yu Family gathered on the training field, along with representatives from the third-tier Ghost Sect and two Hua Xia Council deacons.

While searching for promising youths within the Abnormal Families, the deacons unexpectedly discovered the exceptional talent of the Young Family Master, Yu Zong, who achieved SS level at merely twenty years old.

Just as the two Hua Xia Abnormal People deacons planned to recruit him into Dragon Sect, two elders from the third-tier Ghost Sect also approached, aiming to bring Yu Zong into the Ghost Sect.

"Yu Family Master, the Young Family Master is of exceptional talent and has achieved so much at a young age. If he joins our Dragon Sect, he will surely ascend to great heights, and even the Yu Family will rise with him!" the Hua Xia Council deacons said eagerly and flatteringly while eying the extraordinary Young Master Yu Zong of the Yu Family.

"Hmph, a bunch of wild people," a Ghost Sect elder said disdainfully, glancing at the Hua Xia deacons before speaking to the Yu Family Master, "The Young Family Master is a dragon among people, a one-in-a-million talent. You must carefully consider his future prospects."

"Some newly established Sects have no heritage at all and only mislead the young. Once Young Master Shao misses the best age for cultivation, this talent will be wasted."

"Furthermore, if the Young Family Master joins our Ghost Sect, the Yu Family will become an affiliated clan of our Ghost Sect, protected by us."

Another Ghost Sect elder echoed this, referencing Dragon Sect.

"Who are you saying lacks heritage?" The complexion of the Hua Xia deacons immediately darkened, and they spoke with displeasure.

"What's wrong? Don't think you can do as you please just because Bai Yan backs you up. We can't stand to see a genius being delayed!"

The two Ghost Sect elders stepped forward in unison, their expressions unkind and their Demigod-level cultivation clear as day. The terrifying pressure made everyone bow their heads, not daring to look directly.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The two Hua Xia deacons felt extremely uncomfortable, merely SSS-level Abnormals who couldn't stand up to the two Demigod-level opponents. They were pushed back several steps by that terrifying pressure, without the others even lifting a finger.

"Ghost Sect truly lives up to its name as a Sect, to be able to send out two Demigod-level elders!"

"Indeed, sending two elders to invite our Young Family Master to join Ghost Sect gives great face to our Yu Family!"

"With the protection of Ghost Sect, our Yu Family is set to rise. I'd like to see those Dragon Vein Families dare to look down on our Yu Family now!"

...

Onlookers from the Yu Family exchanged glances, whispering amongst themselves with voices filled with excitement and agitation, completely disregarding the Dragon Sect deacons.

Upon hearing these discussions, the faces of the two Hua Xia Council deacons grew even darker.

"Gentlemen, do not act rashly. If harmony is disrupted over a minor matter, it would not be worth it," advised the Yu Family Master, stepping forward as the peacemaker.

On one side was the third-tier Ghost Sect, and on the other, the Hua Xia Council.

Both were terrifying entities which the Yu Family could not afford to provoke.

"Very well! Yu Family Master, the Young Family Master is your eldest son, and it is up to you to decide where he goes," the Hua Xia Council deacons stated gravely.

"In truth, I have long come to a conclusion. Although the Hua Xia Abnormal People Council has been generous to the Yu Family over the years, I must apologize to the Hua Xia Abnormal People Council for the sake of my child's future," the Yu Family Master bowed to the two Hua Xia Council deacons, his face showing regret.

In his heart, the decision was already made. After all, the Ghost Sect is an Ancient Sect with a rich heritage, while Dragon Sect had only recently been established and could not compare.

"Thank you for your great kindness, honorable deacons, but in order to reach the pinnacle, I can only join Ghost Sect."

"And only Ghost Sect can offer me this opportunity!" said Yu Zong, who had been silent at the side for a long time. His eyebrows were raised, and his face bore a confident, faint smile.

"Hahaha, Yu Family Master is indeed a wise man, you will find out how prudent your decision today has been in the future!"

"Some people really lack self-awareness; without the diamond, they shouldn't take on porcelain work! If they misguide the young ones, it would bring disgrace!"

Two Ghost Sect elders laughed uninhibitedly, their words laced with sarcasm, causing the Huaxia Deacon's faces to turn as grim as water.

"Hmph! If that's the case, we bid our farewell!"

The two Huaxia Deacons made to leave.

"Two Deacons, please wait a moment, I have another son, and I hope the two of you can see if he qualifies to join Dragon Sect."

Yu Family Master hurriedly stopped the two Huaxia Deacons, turning around and shouting at the crowd of Yu Family members: "Yu Xiao, come out and meet the two Deacons!"

"Father, Yu Xiao understands."

Following Yu Family Master's stern shout, a youth who appeared around the same age as Yu Zong nervously stepped out from the Yu Family crowd.

The only difference between them was that Yu Zong was SS-level, while Yu Xiao was S-level, a full Great Realm apart.

"Yu... Yu Xiao, has seen the two Deacons... esteemed Deacons."

Yu Xiao came before the two Deacons, trembling as he respectfully gave a fist and palm salute.

What should have been a confident fist and palm salute was turned into a feeling of self-deprecation by Yu Xiao.

"Ah, his Talent is not bad, he can join Dragon Sect."

The Huaxia Deacon sighed upon detecting Yu Xiao's S-level strength.

To cultivate to S-level by the age of twenty is already a sign of exceptional Talent.

It's just that with the more monstrous Yu Zong ahead of him, Yu Xiao's halo of genius seems much dimmer.

Moreover, with such a self-deprecating character, even if his Talent is exceptional, his future achievements will likely be quite limited.

"Yu Family Master, we will now take Young Master Yu Xiao back to the Sect, farewell!"

The Huaxia Deacon saluted Yu Family Master and then led Yu Xiao away from the Yu Family.

"Little brother, don't forget our agreement. As long as you can defeat me, the position of Yu Family Master is yours! Hahaha!"

Yu Zong laughed loudly at the departing Yu Xiao.

Yu Xiao, who was already feeling quite insignificant, was now frightened into trembling.

Seeing this, the two Deacons shook their heads, feeling helpless.

Both young masters of the Yu Family are geniuses, but the difference between them is as vast as that between clouds and mud; Yu Zong is simply too dazzling.

"Congratulations, Family Master, with Young Master Yu Zong, the rise of our Yu Family is within sight!"

"I hope that after Young Master Yu Zong joins Ghost Sect, he will diligently train under his seniors and soon return to shine glory upon our Yu Family's name."

...

After the Huaxia Deacons had left, the surrounding Yu Family members came forward to offer their congratulations.

As for Yu Xiao, who was taken away by Dragon Sect, nobody mentioned him.

"My uncles, rest assured, one day, I, Yu Zong, will return to inherit the position of Yu Family Master and lead the rise of our Yu Family!"

Yu Zong said to the Yu Family members with a smile on his face.

Truly a young man achieving early success, exulting in the spring breeze!

...

At the same time, scenes of rivalry over disciples were being played out in dozens of Abnormal Families across Huaxia. The one commonality was that these Abnormal Families mostly chose to let their younger generations join the Ancient Sects.

The Deacons could only follow Bai Yan's orders, leading a few juniors with slightly more outstanding talents back to the headquarters of the Abnormal People Council in Huaxia.
