“That’s a metal rarely seen in the world. If you use it to forge weapons, just a small amount can make the blade ten times sharper!”

“I never expected The Sullivan Family would actually take out such a treasure as a prize!”

“Hmph, as if The Sullivan Family would give away such a treasure for nothing! Haven’t you noticed? Although there are many people here today, people like The Clark Family’s Dylan Clark and The Thompson Family’s Quentin Thompson didn’t show up. How could anyone here be a match for The Sullivan Family?”

“The Sullivan Family really knows how to play their cards!”

The hall was instantly abuzz with discussion, but Logan Clark’s attention was completely drawn to that piece of Tianluo Molybdenum! He had the Chaos Furnace—or rather, the Purple Cauldron in his sea of consciousness—which allowed him to see things others could not!

That piece of Tianluo Molybdenum was radiating a gentle halo, filled with an incomparably pure power of gold!

Logan Clark had a feeling that as long as he refined the power within, his metal-element true essence could break through to the seventh postnatal level in one go! And as soon as one element broke through, the five elements would generate each other, and the other four types of true essence would advance without any obstacles!

This had already been fully proven in his cultivation over the past few days!

He must—absolutely must—get his hands on that piece of Tianluo Molybdenum!

Logan Clark immediately made up his mind. Only by stepping into the Exploding Qi Realm could he truly enter the ranks of experts, and he was determined to obtain that Tianluo Molybdenum!

Likewise, people like Douglas Clark and Quentin Thompson also revealed burning gazes.

Chapter 10: First Signs of Brilliance

Since he was going to reveal his strength, he might as well do it in a high-profile way!

Logan Clark pondered in his heart: the more high-profile he was, the more suspicious everyone would become!

He was publicly recognized as the The Clark Family’s good-for-nothing. If he could suppress everyone and become the king among the younger generation, what would others think? They definitely wouldn’t believe it was his own ability, but rather that he had received help from Nathan Clark!

And for a martial artist with such poor aptitude as Logan Clark to defeat countless outstanding youths, only a Xiantian Realm expert could make that happen!

Even if the Sullivan and Thompson families were half-convinced, they wouldn’t dare make a move against The Clark Family before figuring out the truth! This would also serve to intimidate Henry Clark’s ambitions, making those who followed him reconsider whether they should switch sides!

In the face of absolute power, any scheme is futile!

To martial artists, a Xiantian Realm expert was like a deity—able to destroy the entire Baiyang Town with a wave of the hand. Who could possibly oppose such a mighty figure?

“Not only do I need to be high-profile, I need to be arrogant!” Logan Clark revealed a smile. High-profile and arrogant—these were things he had never tried before.

The Sullivan Family was clearly well prepared. As soon as Evelyn Sullivan decided to open the arena, her subordinates immediately began clearing the hall, making a space four zhang square, and erected a half-zhang-high arena out of marble.

Evelyn Sullivan smiled slightly and said, “Since this is a competition, we need some rules! If you lose even once, you’re eliminated. But after winning two matches in a row, you can step down and rest. What do you all think?”

“Miss Yuelan makes a lot of sense. What would we do without rules!”

“That’s right. If losers could keep challenging, it would never end!”

“If you can rest after two wins, that avoids the unfairness of a gauntlet match!”

“Miss Yuelan is truly thoughtful and considerate, thinking of everything!”

Amidst a chorus of flattery, Evelyn Sullivan smiled sweetly again and said, “So, which young hero will step up first to show their strength?”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere immediately cooled.

Although there was a rule that you could rest after two wins, it was obviously better to go up later and save your strength. Besides, for every winner, there would naturally be a loser, and the first person eliminated would be utterly humiliated!

So, no one was willing to be the first to stick their neck out!

But just then, a not-so-tall figure stepped onto the arena with steady steps.

It was Logan Clark!

Douglas Clark was both angry and annoyed, and immediately shouted, “Logan Clark, how dare a mere second-level postnatal good-for-nothing like you go up there? Get down right now and stop embarrassing our The Clark Family!”

“That’s Logan Clark? The so-called good-for-nothing eldest young master of The Clark Family?”

“Seventeen years old and only at the second postnatal level—he really is a waste!”

“Sigh, his grandfather is Nathan Clark, one of the three strongest in town. How could his talent be so poor?”

“Heh, maybe he’s a bastard child!”

Many people had never seen Logan Clark, but it was rare to find anyone who hadn’t heard of his “fame.” For a moment, the jeers from the crowd below the stage grew louder.

Logan Clark swept his gaze around and revealed a proud smile. “Good-for-nothing? Even a good-for-nothing like me has stepped onto the stage, and you’re all still chattering down there? If you don’t even dare to get up here, you’re not even as good as a good-for-nothing!”

To actually be looked down on by a good-for-nothing!

Many of the young men below the stage were furious. If it had been Dylan Clark, Morgan Sullivan, or Quentin Clark—the most outstanding of the three great families—they would have accepted it, since they truly weren’t as skilled! But for a mere second-level postnatal good-for-nothing to be so arrogant and domineering—how could they stand it?

Even Evelyn Sullivan couldn’t help but shake her head and say to the maid beside her, “Who would have thought that a powerhouse like Nathan Clark would have such a useless grandson!”
