"Yes!" All the members of Charles Bennett's lineage immediately got excited and started moving. They first smashed the "compensation" to pieces, then threw it onto the trash heap. Naturally, they wouldn't let those The Bennett Family clan members they "didn't get along with" off easy either.

"William Bennett, you are quite bold. How dare you call the compensation from our The Carter Family dirty goods? Today, I, Andrew Carter, will teach you a lesson no matter what." Andrew Carter was furious, his face as black as coal. He finally found an opportunity, and raised his hand, ready to strike.

"Senior Carter, let me slap him for you. Later, when William Bennett tries to break into the Wood-level disciples, I, Edward Bennett, will use my fists to show him that as long as I'm here, he'll never become a Wood-level disciple. He will always be a pathetic loser." Edward Bennett said respectfully.

"That's right, count me, James Bennett, in." James Bennett said with a smile.

"I'm joining too," said Richard Bennett. These three guys were all rookies who had just succeeded in awakening their veins and entered the "Pulsing Realm" this year, all aiming to break into the Wood-level disciples. Moreover, all three had bloodline tests that reached grade C, and Edward Bennett even had a grade B bloodline.

With the "three great mountains" joining forces, it was basically impossible for William Bennett to brute-force his way into the Wood-level disciples today. No matter how the lots were drawn, he would definitely run into at least two of the three.

"Hahaha, the The Bennett Family disciples really have 'ambition'! Good, good, good. John Carter, let's not rush to leave, it's fine to sit down and watch. Head of the Bennett Family, with friends visiting, surely you have a few chairs for us?" Andrew Carter laughed wildly. Several people sitting on the main stage of the The Bennett Family, including the clan head Robert Bennett, twitched at the corners of their mouths. Andrew Carter was clearly mocking the The Bennett Family for only knowing how to fight among themselves.

However, falling out with the The Carter Family wasn't worth it. Head of the Bennett Family swallowed his anger, forced a smile, and said, "Of course, bring a few chairs over for Brother Carter to sit."

Soon, Andrew Carter and John Carter also sat on the main stage, becoming the The Bennett Residence's uninvited, impossible-to-drive-away "special guest cockroaches."

The people of Charles Bennett's lineage were furiously smashing the "compensation" from the The Carter Family, treating the precious medicinal herbs and blood crystal coins, which martial cultivators regarded as treasures, as trash—smashing, burning, and tossing them into the garbage heap. Many The Bennett Family disciples nearby were twitching at the corners of their mouths in pain, cursing William Bennett as a prodigal son in their hearts.

As for Andrew Carter, at this moment, only a cold sneer remained on his face. He sipped the fine tea provided by the The Bennett Residence. Of course, this grudge was now set in stone. Of course, William Bennett was not a reckless person. Since this feud had started with the broken engagement from the The Carter Residence, if they didn't show respect, neither would he. It didn't matter if the grudge was big or small—the effect was about the same.

Moreover, William Bennett was betting that Andrew Carter wouldn't dare do anything to him in public. After all, this was the The Bennett Residence. If Andrew Carter really dared to lay a hand on a junior like him, and the Head of the Bennett Family didn't step in, then he wouldn't be fit to be the clan head anymore.

Andrew Carter could bully Charles Bennett, and Robert Bennett could brush it off with "family matters." But if Andrew Carter bullied William Bennett, a junior who hadn't even had his "coming-of-age ceremony," Robert Bennett would have no excuse not to intervene. That's why William Bennett dared to boldly humiliate the The Carter Family.

So, William Bennett was perfectly clear about all this. He used the power of the The Bennett Residence to regain face for his father. And since William Bennett didn't have to participate in the first round of the competition, he could calmly stand below the arenas and observe.

There were about sixty The Bennett Family pre-wood-level disciples, divided among ten arenas for simultaneous matches. The top two from each arena would enter the second round, and after the second round, when only ten remained, they would enter the finals to compete with William Bennett, James Bennett, and a few other The Bennett Family disciples who had direct entry for the Wood-level disciple spots.

While watching the fights, William Bennett was surprised to discover that his eyes not only had a blurry x-ray ability, but also a "magnifying glass" function.

For example, the nose doesn't take up much space on the face, but from William Bennett's special perspective, his opponent's nose looked as big as a fist, at least twice its normal size.

As a result, the opponent's face appeared as broad as a washbasin, making the target larger and naturally increasing the accuracy of his attacks. Moreover, under the "magnification effect," even the opponent's attack speed seemed to slow down, giving William Bennett more time to react.

By noon, the second round was over, and the top six had emerged.

Edward Bennett deservedly entered the finals with an undefeated record. The six were Edward Bennett, Richard Bennett, Paul Bennett, Sarah Bennett, Linda Bennett, and Mark Bennett. Together with the four who had direct entry to the finals—William Bennett, James Bennett, Emily Bennett, and Jason Bennett—there were ten people competing for the Wood-level disciple spots.

William Bennett, James Bennett, Emily Bennett, and Jason Bennett were all children or grandchildren of the elders' council members.

However, those who had previously boasted that they would stop William Bennett—Edward Bennett, Richard Bennett, and James Bennett—were all in the finals. Edward Bennett entered undefeated, Richard Bennett as the runner-up; both had fought their way in and were truly strong.

James Bennett, Emily Bennett, and Jason Bennett, as core elders' descendants, were also definitely strong. It was said that all three had reached the second level of the "Pulsing Realm," able to simultaneously vibrate two bloodlines to absorb the world's energy and convert it into blood energy.
