Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

The third elder keenly noticed that something was wrong with the first elder, so he deliberately bumped the teacup to make a noise to remind him to pay attention to the occasion.

The crisp sound of a teacup breaking interrupted the Great Elder's thoughts. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and threw the scroll in his hand to Xi Liu.

"Since everyone is here, let's get started!" the Great Elder ordered in a deep voice.

Xi Liu glanced at the Third Elder imperceptibly, and after seeing the Third Elder nod, he took the scroll and went downstairs to preside over the competition.

The third elder stood up, walked to the railing of the stands, and looked at the densely packed crowd of half-grown children standing on the first floor.

"Xi Liu, there are so many people this year, let's change the rules. Everyone will come together and fight on their own. The last fifty people standing will win!"

[Oh wow, host, the high ranking points you wanted to earn have already started waving goodbye to you! ]

Zhang Hanyan was already prepared to get a high ranking and earn a large number of points, but she didn't expect that a single word from the Third Elder would easily shatter one of her small goals.

Listening to the system's sarcasm and looking at the huge crowd in front of her, she suddenly looked unhappy.

Zhang Qiling looked at her drooping face and asked, "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"Nothing, I just think it's annoying to suddenly change the rules."

The Third Elder heard every word she said with his sharp ears. He snorted coldly and thought to himself.

Humph, I'm obviously doing this for your two good, but you little girl don't even appreciate it. With your abilities, you can easily get first or second place, but have you ever thought about how the people you defeat will target you in the future?

After the competition, you will be released into the wild and leave the Zhang family. If they unite outside to deal with you, I wonder what you will do!

Xi Liu followed the Third Elder's instructions, put away the scroll in his hand, withdrew from the range of the fight, walked to the gong placed in the corner, and struck the gong.

The moment the gong was struck, all those who were ready to attack launched an attack on the person closest to them.

In the venue, several children who looked slightly weaker than their peers avoided the attacks and noticed Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling who looked even weaker than them.

Originally, the other taller children did not attack them. They just stood in a small corner and watched the show.

But there are some people who just want to find trouble, thinking that because they look shorter, they are easier to bully than others.

Facing the attacks from those children, Zhang Hanyan didn't even draw his sword and easily knocked them to the ground.

The other older children noticed these two opponents whom they had underestimated, and united to attack them.

All the elders on the second-floor stands stared at Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling who were surrounded by people.

Although I know they won't lose based on their abilities, I still can't help but worry about them, of course, except for the Great Elder.

The Great Elder hoped that the two of them would be defeated by the others and would not be able to enter the top 50.

However, the final result was bound to disappoint the Great Elder.

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling drew their swords respectively. One of them held a knife and the other held a sword. The two cooperated perfectly and knocked down everyone in front of them to the ground.

They did not harm anyone's life, they just made sure that those who attacked them would never have the strength to get up and attack them again.

Wave after wave of attacks, wave after wave of defeats.

Seeing how strong the two of them were, the people behind them gave up attacking them and turned to attack others, just to make sure they could make it into the top 50.

In the following time, no one attacked Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling anymore. They leaned against each other and watched the fights between other people. They were very relaxed.

The Great Elder looked at the scene downstairs and cursed the others in his heart for being so incompetent that they couldn't even deal with those younger than him.

As time passed, the competition gradually came to an end. There were fewer and fewer people standing, but more and more people lying on the ground wailing.

When there were fifty-two people left on the ring, Zhang Hanyan randomly picked two people and kicked them off the ring.

Dong—Xi Liu struck the gong, and the competition was over.

"Okay, Xiliu, register the names and let these fifty winners and those who have passed the external competition participate in the release."

The third elder looked at the people standing on the stage. Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling, who were not as tall as the others, stood out like a crane among chickens.

"Yes, those of you who have won the competition, come and register your names with me!"

Xiliu sat on the chair in front of the gong and took out a pen and paper to write down their names one by one.

The Great Elder looked at Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling who were squeezed in front of the crowd, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was dark and unclear.

After everyone's names were registered, Xi Liu took the new scroll and went upstairs, then handed the scroll to the great elder.

Just as the first elder was about to reach out to take it, the third elder reached out and grabbed it first.

"Hey, Boss, I was responsible for releasing the wild animals in previous years, and it should be the same this year. You have already seen who won, so you don't need to read this scroll."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiliu with a smile and handed the scroll back into his hands.

"Xi Liu, take the scroll back to my room and keep it safe. Don't lose it. Tell everyone below to go back, and the winner can choose a time to leave."

"Yes, Third Elder!"

Xi Liu walked downstairs under the Great Elder's glare, and after dispersing the crowd, he walked towards the Third Elder's yard with the scroll in his hand.

The third elder shook his robe, stood up, stretched himself, and left lazily.

After he left, the other elders scattered like birds and beasts, no longer daring to hang around in front of the Great Elder without the Third Elder.

A group of old men whose combined age is several thousand years old behave like childish teenagers.

In response, the oldest elder sneered and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Humph, am I that scary? One by one, they are avoiding me as if I were the plague!

It’s all that damn third brother’s fault. Relying on the support of the second brother, he not only disobeys discipline, but also ruins my reputation everywhere!

On the way back, Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling met Zhang Mo who had returned from his outside family. In his hand was a scroll with the list of people who had passed the outside family competition.

"Han Yan, did you two make it into the top fifty?"

Zhang Hanyan nodded happily, "Of course! Is that the list of outsiders in your hand? Can you show it to me?"

Zhang Mo handed the scroll to her without hesitation, "Of course, this is not a confidential document."

She slowly unfolded the scroll. There were exactly one hundred people from outside the family who passed the competition, plus fifty from the main family, a total of one hundred and fifty people.

There were many names on the scroll, and Zhang Haike's name was firmly written at the first one.

The rules of the external competition have not changed, and Zhang Haike, whose name is written first, is the first place in this competition.
