His Stunning Doctor Wife novel Chapter 1673

Among them, one group of people who followed Liza and Narumi were obviously the people who supported them. The other group followed closely behind Kento, so they were naturally the people who supported the Akao family.

Among those people, Fade even saw Genkiro, whom he had been investigating. He was the leader of the Hachi Clan of Osko City. Now that he had gone to Kento, it could be said that he had provided the Akao Family with an extraordinary boost of strength.

The third faction would be the neutral faction that had nothing to do with either of them. In other words, they would only decide on their stand after watching the performance of the ceremony that day.

The people of all three factions entered the ancestral temple and they were clearly separated. People led by Liza and the Akao family glared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense, as if they could start a fight at any time.

The neutral faction seemed to be much quieter as they secretly observed the movements of both sides and schemed in their hearts.

After everyone stood still, the sacrificial rituals began.

An elder who held a variety of tokens in hand and spoke the Jopeno language, in which Fade didn't understand a word, ordered people from the three factions to kneel and pay respect.

The ceremonies went on one after another, and the ancestral hall was silent. Although Fade didn't know what they were talking about, he had a general understanding of what was going on.

The main purpose of the ceremony was to pay respect to all the chiefs and people who had contributed greatly ever since the establishment of the Hachi Clan 80 years ago. Of course, there were also various important events that needed to be commemorated.

It was already 11.30 AM after the complicated and traditional formal ceremony ended.

Everyone left the ancestral hall and had lunch together in the living room.

The atmosphere at lunch was quite solemn as well, and everything they ate was cold and vegan. The purpose of the lunch was not to enjoy food, but to show respect and commemoration.

After a simple lunch, everyone returned to their rooms to rest for an hour at noon. They would gather at the martial arts arena located at the general headquarters in the afternoon.

Gathering at the arena, all the important members of the Hachi Clan had also changed into their warrior uniforms worn in the morning, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

The members who were not in the Hachi Clan finally revealed a trace of excitement on their faces.

That was because everyone knew that the commemoration and sacrificial ritual in the morning were only ceremonies. The highlight of the day would be the duel in the afternoon. After all, it was an important battle that would determine the future master of the Hachi Clan.

After everyone arrived, the elder who was in charge of the morning ceremony appeared once again and explained the rules to everyone present. He then looked at Liza and Kento's factions, reminding them that it should only be a friendly match and a chance for the internal martial artists of the Hachi Clan to learn and improve.

However, everyone knew that these words were just insinuations on the surface. This duel was the best chance for the Akao family and Liza to show their strengths and attract the support of the neutral faction.

After going through some general words, he officially announced the start of the duel.

Liza started off by sending an intermediate young warrior of the Black Level to enter the battlefield, and the Akao family sent a similar warrior to fight him as well.

The two of them fought a heated and intense battle; their skills and abilities were excellent. In the end, the warrior on Liza's side was defeated after nearly half an hour of fighting hard.

There was a sudden round of warm applause from the Akao family' s side. At Liza's end, everyone's expressions changed slightly, but there were not too many disappointed faces.

That was because everyone knew that these little fighters were just testing the waters, and the real battle had yet to begin.

Next, both sides continuously sent their representatives to fight in battles. Almost all of those contestants were of the same age and on similar tiers. They initially started from the intermediate stage of the Black Level, and along with the increase in the contestants' strength, they slowly entered the peak stage of the Black Level.
