Wang Wei's old eyes, which had seen countless vicissitudes of life, suddenly shone with the burning light of discovering a rare treasure. He exclaimed in a low voice, his voice filled with suppressed astonishment: "These two are truly blessed children."

He locked onto the scene intently, as if appraising a peerless master swordsman, lingering over the dazzling lightning and shadows that swept across the field. "His soul power is powerful and refined, his fighting spirit is sharp and unrestrained, and his soul skills are perfectly integrated... He surpasses ordinary people in every way. He is an outstanding talent in this era, a dragon among men, worthy of being the left and right assistants of the Big Dipper."

As mentioned earlier, Chen Zhouzhao and Chen Jieqi possessed Martial Souls that had returned to their ancestral form, with innate aptitudes of over level eight. Over the years, they consumed two grade nine precious herbs, which boosted their innate aptitudes to level nine.

In recent years, they have been the focus of Zejizhai's training after the Chen family emerged from seclusion, and they are the most outstanding disciples.

He whirled around, his burning gaze almost piercing through Chen Xiaojun, and said decisively, "No way! Xiaojun, we're taking this precious gem! If you look down on this roughneck of mine and that old Zhuang's rotten bones..."

Wang Wei spoke rapidly, his eyes gleaming with a calculating glint of determination, "Then I'll become your disciple, Elder Brother. Wind and thunder attributes, a match made in heaven, how can I let this opportunity slip by?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun's eye twitched violently, and he rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the back of his head.

Well, just as he used Dust Duling as bait to distract these two, Old Man Wang has already taken a different approach and set his sights on Dongming Yinyuan. His change of heart is even faster than Feng Luan Sword Dance!
Xia Yun, who was standing to the side, spoke up at the right moment, his voice as calm as a deep well: "Old Wang and Old Zhuang are too kind, they are too kind to this junior."

"However, the whereabouts of the two young masters, Zhou Zhao and Jie Qi, are related to the overall strategy of the clan, and the clan has long considered and planned for this."

"With you here, it is not appropriate to make a hasty judgment about his whereabouts."

…………

The fireworks were still burning in the fighting ring downstairs.

The bluestone arena had long since turned into scorched wasteland, with twisted scrap iron everywhere emitting pungent blue smoke.

However, Chen Zhouzhao showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he was aroused and his spirit soared.

His Seven Kill Sword pointed diagonally at the deep, gaping doorway, like the throat of a colossal beast. Lingering arcs of electricity danced on the tip. His defiant laughter was louder than tearing silk: "You lump of iron inside! You think you can take me down with that little bit of effort you'd put into feeding a cat?! Go ahead—"

Before the words were finished, Chen Xiaojun's clear voice rang out from the second-floor platform. It wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable weight: "Enough, all of you come up."

"Huh?!" Chen Zhouzhao's words caught in his throat, and he had no choice but to reluctantly sheathe his sword.

The five of them leaped onto the platform, and as soon as their toes touched the ground, Chen Zhouzhao couldn't wait any longer and shouted, "Sixth Brother! We haven't had enough fun yet! This is just the beginning! I think there's something else going on behind that iron gate! Why did we stop?"

Chen Xiaojun glanced at him indifferently: "Play?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it weighed heavily on people's hearts.
He glanced at the mess and said, "I'll let you test its sharpness and examine its depth."

"You, on the other hand, unleashed thunderous power, even stirring up sword intent! You're more efficient at demolishing a house than I am! Is this what you call a test?!"

A glance swept over the ravaged arena, silently telling the story of the consequences of "violent forced demolition."

Chen Zhouzhao opened his mouth, scratched his head and chuckled: "Well... well, I haven't even used my full strength yet..."

"Hmph!" Chen Xiaojun rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "There are people who know the value of these things better than you."

"Haoxuan, go and call them here."

"Okay, Sixth Brother!" Chen Haoxuan replied readily, then turned and ran off quickly.

A moment later, a man led the two over: a young man with a muscular build, as strong as an iron tower, his gait heavy and powerful, as if carrying the weight of a stone ramming to the ground; and a graceful woman with lively eyes and a slender figure, none other than Xia Shuyao. The two stepped forward and greeted each other politely.

Chen Zhou, who was looking after Xia Shuyao, exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Shuyao?! What are you doing here with... uh, Fatty Second Brother?"

He glanced at the ridiculously burly man next to him.

"Fat my foot!" The burly young man swung his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, and said in a gruff voice, "No respect for elders! Call me Brother Fu!"

Xia Shuyao smiled charmingly and pointed her jade finger at the mess on the ground: "Zhou Zhao, do you think these dead things can jump around and become lively on their own?"

Her eyes held a smile, revealing the arrogance of a controller: "With a flick of my finger, I can draw lines and depict bones, imbuing souls with their mechanisms—those sixteen beautiful 'gods' were bestowed upon me."

Chen Zhouzhao suddenly realized, slapping his forehead: "Oh, it's Sister Hua!"

He was halfway through his sentence when he caught a glimpse of Xia Shuyao's ambiguous, threatening gaze, and he abruptly swallowed his words, abruptly changing his tone, "...Ahem! So it was Sister Shuyao who was pulling the strings behind the scenes? I admire you! I admire you!"

Xia Shuyao glared at him with a half-smile and raised eyebrows: "...Chen Zhouzhao! You still can't say anything right, you're just making people angry!"

Chen Xiaojun's gaze fell on the towering 20-year-old youth, scrutinizing him: "Brother Fu, what do you think of this 'sparring' in your expert's eyes?"

This man is none other than Tie Fu Er, who hasn't appeared in a long time!
He is the direct descendant of the "Wild Hammer" Tie family in the village, inheriting the sixth-grade initial level Wild Hammer Martial Soul, and is also the Earthly Mad Star among the seventy-two Earthly Fiends in the New Star Project!

……

New stars shine brightly, and constellations are arranged in order.

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends established by the New Star Project have a clear source and flow mechanism in terms of quota allocation.

Of these, 46 fixed slots belong to the thirty-three branches and the core clans of the nine inner and four outer families.

The remaining 26 slots were generally taken by powerful families in the village who possessed 26 high-grade martial spirit inheritances.

However, the number of these flexible slots is not fixed; in fact, there are more than 26.

Because many core disciples selected from various branches and lineages are rated as the highest-ranking Heavenly Stars, their original Earthly Fiend slots will become vacant, which in turn provides space for the attendants of the main lineage disciples.

In contrast, the families of the followers, such as Zhu Wuneng and Dugu Fu, were often extremely outstanding themselves and were ranked among the Heavenly Spirits.

Their spot will be granted by the main lineage, which will allow the follower family to select another outstanding person to inherit the spot.

This arrangement is essentially a special privilege and resource allocation given by the main lineage to its core followers who are directly under its control and can be mobilized at any time.

After all, the Earthly Fiends mainly cultivate powerful Soul Douluos, so this arrangement is both systematic and considerate.

Among them, the Zhu family benefited the most. They had four members of the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends in their family. In addition to the three siblings Zhu Wu Kui, there was also the long-dormant follower Zhu Wu Jiu. They originally had another family quota, but Zhu Yan Feng refused, feeling that it would be shameless to use it again.

Looking at the current group of dazzling Heavenly and Earthly Fiends, their ages are mainly concentrated between five and ten years old, which is about 19-24 years old now. They are the same group that participated in the clan competition eight years ago.

This is no accident; it is the "baby boom" in which the direct descendants of various families are born in concentrated numbers, which is why so many talented people of this age have emerged in this period, forming the current dazzling group of "new stars".
