"Brother Ye, please be patient for a while and wait until all the clan members are brought to the top of the mountain before you argue!" Pan Wu advised in a low voice.
"Why?" Ye Fan was puzzled.
As the saying goes, literature is not the first, military is not the second.
Wu Ren has always had a hot temper and cannot stand being provoked, but in the Pan family, he seems to be used to the cynicism of other big families.
"Brother Ye, the Yan family is so powerful that our Pan family can't compete with it." Pan Wu laughed sadly, "The most important thing is that the Yan family and my family both live in Songyue City!"
Songyue City is the capital of Zhongyuan Province. It is located in the south of the Yellow River and belongs to the land of ancient dragons. It has a dense population and has always been the administrative center of ancient China.
The Yan family occupies a place in Songyue City, while the Pan family can only survive. Compared with the two, they are indeed not on the same level.
Ye Fan didn't care, but Pan and his family had to continue to survive in Songyue City, and it was not appropriate to attract hatred here.
"In that case, forget it." Ye Fan shook his head and smiled, not going to argue with the Yan family.
The long-haired young man across from him grinned disdainfully when he saw that the Pan family was cowardly. He was about to make some sarcastic remarks when the tall young man beside him suddenly spoke.
"Stop talking nonsense, the banker's boss wants to burn incense."
"Um."
The long-haired young man nodded in response, and then shook his finger at Pan Wu and others, expressing contempt, with an expression like a noble prince looking down on the lowly common people, arrogant.
Pan Wu was so angry that the others gnashed their teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Ye Fan kept sneering in his heart.
Seeing that all the sixteen warrior clans were ready, the head of the Zhuang family held up a stick of incense and inserted it into the stone furnace on the high platform.
"start!"
He shouted suddenly, reached out and flicked the top of the incense, making a sharp piercing sound, and then the incense in the stone furnace started to burn.
"drink!"
The Sixteen Martial Tribes all shouted in unison and began to climb up the rocky cliffs.
The participating warriors from most families are well-organized and have extraordinary strength.
They relied on claws and tiger pedals to climb up, climbing almost in leaps and bounds. The speed was very fast, and they climbed more than 100 meters in only five minutes.
It wasn't until three to four hundred meters that the momentum of these families gradually slowed down.
When traveling five to six hundred meters, the gap between the sixteen ancient martial arts families became more and more obvious, and the maximum gap between the front and back could reach nearly a hundred meters!
Among them, members of the Yizhuang, Yan, and Tang families moved the fastest and were in the first echelon.
Their speed in the middle section of Dragon Slayer Peak was very balanced, and the cliffs were very light for those warriors, making them appear to be able to navigate with ease.
The second echelon was maintained by four other families, keeping the distance from the three major martial clans at about thirty meters. The speed was neither urgent nor slow, which was a bit difficult.
As time passed, the second incense burned.
There are some differences between the three major martial clans. The banker is the strongest and has climbed to a height of 900 meters.
The Tang family was second, 20 meters behind.
The Yan family is once again ten meters behind the Tang family.
This time, not only the other families, but also the three major martial clans slowed down significantly.
However, the gap between the first echelon they maintain and those behind them is getting wider and wider. Many members of the major families who are lagging behind have only climbed to the mountainside of five to six hundred meters. It may be difficult to complete the cliff climbing assessment within the specified time.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the family patriarch who was watching the assessment on the high platform at the foot of the mountain let out an exclamation.
"Look at those people on the far right!"
"Their speed...why is it so fast!"
"I didn't pay attention just now, how come I'm almost catching up with the Yan family in the blink of an eye?"
"No, look at their formation climbing the cliff!"
"Why are they connected together? Isn't it stipulated that no free climbing equipment is allowed?"
"It's not climbing equipment! Those things holding them together are clothes!"
I saw a family on the right side of Zhanlong Peak, three people forming a group, forming a row on the left and right, unified in front and back, and climbing at a very even speed.
Every twenty or thirty meters, the trio changes their formation, with one person clearing the way, and the speed remains unchanged.
However, when other family members were almost exhausted, they still maintained this speed and had narrowed the gap with the three major martial arts clans, and they were vaguely trying to catch up!
"Which family is that from?"
The owner of the banker frowned and asked in a low voice.
Pan Yunhai smiled and stepped forward, cupping his hands, "The owner of the banker is a descendant of my family."
"Pan family?"
The other families exclaimed again.
The Pan family is the weakest branch among the Sixteen Martial Arts Clan. They originally thought that there were only a few members of the Pan family participating in the Bagu Martial Arts Association, but they did not expect that not only would they be able to count, but they would also perform so well in the rock climbing assessment.
The head of the banker family was slightly startled, and then he raised his hand to Pan Yunhai: "Uncle Pan, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but when did your Pan family have so many rising stars?"
"Master Zhuang, I have visited China all over the past few years and finally found some members of my clan who have been lost."
Pan Yunhai had already prepared to make the genealogy and identity information public.
Given his status, he shouldn't be too easy to do this.
Although the people of the Sixteenth Martial Clan have doubts, they also know very well that the Pan family was once a major lineage of the Sixteenth Martial Clan and must have branches all over China.
This is not only true for his Pan family, but also for other families, but no one will idle around China, searching for missing clan members.
"I see!"
On the surface, the head of the Zhuang family didn't seem suspicious, but in fact, he checked with the patriarchs and elders of the Yan family and the Tang family several times before returning Pan Yunhai's genealogy and member information.
"Uncle Pan, the Pan family has already become a blockbuster without making a sound. It seems that a comeback is just around the corner, so congratulations!" the owner of the banker congratulated with a smile.
Pan Yunhai laughed, nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay. I retired early, and no one in the clan has anything to do. I have nothing to do, so I go out for a walk if I have nothing to do.
By chance, I learned the whereabouts of those tribesmen.
At first, I just wanted to give it a try and pass down part of my martial arts knowledge. I never thought that there were dozens of children in the tribe who were quite talented and had developed great strength.
Later, I often went over to coach those children, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.
Taking them to participate in the Bagu Martial Arts Tournament this time is also to let them see the world, and after the martial arts tournament is over, we will take them back to the Pan family to worship their ancestors and recognize their ancestors."
No one wants to listen to Pan Yunhai's words, but now that the Pan family is expected to rise, many people still bite the bullet and congratulate him, which can be regarded as a good relationship first.
"Someone has reached the top!"
Suddenly, a family elder was amazed, and Zhuan'er smiled at the Zhuang family leader: "It seems that the Zhuang family is still respected by the Sixteenth Martial Clan!"
"Don't dare." The owner of the banker said modestly. Seeing his family members climbing to the top one after another, he nodded happily.
At this time, the second incense stick was only half burned. The banker's people were able to reach the top. Their strength was absolutely extraordinary. I'm afraid all twenty of them were masters who exceeded their limits!
"Someone from the Tang family has climbed to the top as well!"
The Tang family and the banker are not far apart. When the banker reaches the top first, there is another one right behind him.
The rest intentionally stayed on the cliff.
Because two young men from the Tang family were not climbing fast, and other clan members were working together to help them reach the top.
"The Yan family also went up..."
"Huh?! Look, the Pan family members..."
"The Pan family...all members of the Pan family reached the top!"
"There are still many people from the Tang family and the Yan family who haven't gone up yet!"
The people of the Sixteenth Martial Clan suddenly exclaimed, and Pan Yunhai laughed loudly, stroking his white beard and feeling very proud.
The owner of the banker frowned deeply and glanced at Pan Yunhai meaningfully, "Okay, the time is almost up, let's go up too! Everyone, please!"
"please!"
Everyone turned to the other side of Zhanlong Peak, where there was a huge cliff-side ladder.
The Sixteen Martial Clan were divided into three groups and slowly climbed to the top.
But it was said that Ye Fan took the members of the reserve team of the Eagle Special Group and four members of the Pan family to the top of Dragon Slayer Peak.
Everyone's faces turned red and they were panting. The three girls and the two weak young men fell to the ground, exhausted.
At this time, more than a hundred people had climbed to the top of Zhanlong Peak. Except for the dozen or so people whose expressions remained unchanged, everyone else was in similar condition.
On the Dragon-Zhan Peak, the reception staff of the Sixteenth Martial Clan had already prepared rice, food and drinks for the members of the Martial Clan participating in the martial arts meeting.
Pan Wu drank up a bottle of glucose in big gulps, came to Ye Fan's side, and said to him with a heartfelt hand: "Brother Ye, it's all thanks to you this time! If it weren't for your method, I'm afraid the three of us would have struggled to get up!
"
"It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly and said to the others: "Everyone, hurry up and repair. Eat and drink when you should, so don't be polite!"
"yes!"
The members of the reserve team responded with a smile. Zhou Xiong and several strong players helped their teammates who were about to collapse and took them to replenish energy.
At the top of Zhanlong Peak, there is a large area of dilapidated ancient ruins, with a fighting platform paved with bluestone slabs in the middle.
The fighting platform is as big as half a football field, with sixteen tent areas surrounding it.
The Zhuang family, the Tang family, and the Yan family, as the three major martial families, have a lot of wealth and power, so they naturally take on the responsibility of arranging the venue.
Ye Fan and the others came to Pan's rest area. There were ten tents of different sizes and all kinds of daily necessities.
The rest area of each family is similar in size, and it is specially prepared for those who participate in the Bagu Martial Arts Tournament.
As for the clan heads and clan elders of other clans, they were uniformly arranged in a large hall behind the martial arts platform.
Ye Fan and the others stayed in the rest area for a while, and four old men, Pan Yunhai, walked over quickly, the smiles on their faces widening, as if they had picked up hundreds of dollars.
"Ye Fan, this time you have embarrassed our Pan family!"
Boss Pan's laughter was so proud that it attracted the attention of the warriors from other families' tents.
Ye Fan stood up and went out, "Uncle, I'm lucky that I came up with this idea. Everyone gave me support and worked hard, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get up so easily."
"Haha... don't be so modest!"
Pan Yunhai smiled broadly, patted Ye Fan on the shoulder cheerfully, and winked at him, the meaning of which could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders and asked unaccustomedly: "Father-in-law, how was the result of this cliff climbing assessment?"
"More than a hundred people were wiped out, and now there are only about two hundred people left."
Pan Yunhai touched his chin and continued: "Ye Fan, you have to think of another way to bring our Pan family members into the final ranking!"
