Chapter 37: The Sabbath Rite (2)
“Nona Ye You or Ye Xun have always been their representatives for the past few years. If Miss Ye You is not around at the moment, it is most likely that Ye Xun will be up on stage.”
“Although Ye Xun was adopted, she fared quite well. Being graceful and with that pretty face, I think she is a suitable representative.”
Between the quiet whispers and the chatter of the crowd, the time to start the ritual is drawing closer. The members of the three noble families had already arrived at the altar.
The thundering drum drums, rumbling on the altar stage, marked the official beginning of the Sabbath Rite.
Si Ye was the first to go on stage. Standing in front of the Sky Wheel, he said a prayer of blessing, before he wrapped his hand on the wheel. Exerting his strength, he turned the wheel, weighing several thousand pounds, with all his might.
The giant Sky Wheel spun with a turbulent roar, resembling the roar of a dragon. Ordinary people around the stage, while immersed in their prayers, locked their gaze on the spinning wheel.
The Sky Wheel, after spinning for two rounds, stopped.
In addition to its great weight, there are so many reactions between the interlocking gears that for centuries, turning the wheel was considered an incredible feat. Spinning just one round would be detrimental to an ordinary cultivator. Si Ye had managed two, which clearly got the applause of the crowd.
"As the oldest young master of the Si family, his strength is truly impressive."
Duan Tianrao was near the altar when he saw Si Ye walking down the stage. He maintained a straight face, which was different from his brother, Duan Tianrui, who was clearly amused, as he spoke to Duan Tianrao in a soft whisper:
“Bro, he's not too impressive. From what I see, he is at most a stage five Innate, while bro, you already surpassed stage six months ago. Hitting him was a piece of cake. ”
A grin appeared on Duan Tianrao's lips as he looked at Si Ye but focused his attention on the dashing Si Bai, who was instead standing below the stage.
Si Bai is a true genius among the Si family. Although she never showed her strength, but judging from her talent, Si Ye could never hold a candle for her. The real person Duan Tianrao wanted to surpass was Si Bai all along.
After Si Ye got off the stage, it was the Duan family's turn. As their representative, Duan Tianrao instantly jumped onto the stage with a single leap.
When her powerful figure appeared on the stage, many girls in the crowd of onlookers were pampering their eyes at her.
Of all the noble men in the city, Si Bai could be considered the most attractive in terms of appearance. But unfortunately, due to his weak constitution, he rarely left his residence. Duan Tianrao, in hand, attracted the attention of many girls in the city due to his sturdy body and charismatic face.
Duan Tianrao stood beside the Sky Wheel, and as he focused his eyes on it, he built up his strength in an instant, and burst into action to spin the wheel.
The wheel started to spin at the next moment and with that swift turn, the crowd of spectators stared in awe.
Under Duan Tianrao's strength, the Sky Wheel completed three full rounds!
He had clearly surpassed Si Ye by reaching the rounds even further!
That's the highest record in years.
“He has improved again!”
“With such strength, it is no wonder he was chosen to be the next head of the household. No ordinary person could surpass him in that.”
Duan Tianrao had an ordinary demeanor even as he enjoyed the exhilarating cheers and praise from the crowd, although his eyes sparkled with a hunch of satisfaction. As he turned to face the crowd, he saluted the audience and voiced his appreciation, “Today, it is an honor for me to stand here in front of everyone. I'd like to take this opportunity to announce some important news.”
