Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098: Bride Selection

The two of them arrived at the Slaughter Stele one after the other.

Jian Lanjiang focused on Zong Chaosheng, his eyes showing surprise:

"Already won two consecutive battles."

"As expected of the Taichang Eighteen Sons, flawless in every aspect."

"Grandpa!"

A slightly trembling voice came from Jian Linyu’s mouth.

She widened her pretty eyes, staring at another scale, and said:

"Look over here!"

Jian Lanjiang looked over in astonishment.

In his expectations, Jiang Fan should have already been defeated.

In fact, he should have lost many times already.

However, the number engraved clearly showed "three".

Jian Lanjiang’s eyes widened: "He, he actually won three consecutive battles?"

"How is this possible?"

For a moment.

Grandfather and granddaughter were both shocked.

Zong Chaosheng, who arrived only moments after Jiang Fan, had only won two consecutive battles!

Doesn’t that suggest that Jiang Fan is stronger in battle experience and techniques than Zong Chaosheng?

Jian Linyu muttered, "Grandpa actually made a mistake in judgment."

Jian Lanjiang’s old face turned red: "Everyone makes mistakes."

"Grandpa was just a bit mistaken this time."

Just as he finished speaking.

The number on Jiang Fan’s engraving changed again.

From "three" it became "four".

Jian Linyu was in disbelief: "Grandpa, are you sure it was just a slight mistake?"

Jian Lanjiang also stared at the engraving in shock, his tone becoming uncertain:

"Maybe just a tiny bit."

The two of them stared unblinkingly at Jiang Fan’s engraving.

If he wins one more time, he will be on par with the ancestors of the Jian family and even the disciple of True Word Venerable, Chen Jing.

Two hours later.

Under their stunned gaze, Jiang Fan’s engraving turned into "five"!

Both grandfather and granddaughter were so shocked they couldn’t speak.

Winning five consecutive battles, what does that mean? They couldn’t even imagine.

Thud!

What jolted them out of their daze was Zong Chaosheng, almost forgotten, who fell out from inside.

He was covered in dirt, his spirit exhausted.

Somewhat embarrassed.

Yet his eyes shone brightly.

He successfully held on for most of the day and won four consecutive battles.

In the entire Taicang State, he was considered top-level.

Although he didn’t reach the previously agreed upon five consecutive wins, it was surely enough to make Jian Lanjiang look at him in a new light.

"Oh, the fifth projection is really tough."

"I’m still lacking a bit, just a bit."

He murmured, seemingly humble but actually proud.

He thought he would elicit exclamations of admiration from Jian Lanjiang and Jian Linyu.

Unexpectedly, they only glanced at him before simultaneously withdrawing their gaze, continuing to stare at Jiang Fan’s engraving.

Zong Chaosheng was taken aback.

Is a four-win streak not impressive anymore?

Just that kind of reaction?

Following the gaze of the grandfather and granddaughter, a striking "five" came into view, making him tremble all over.

"Five consecutive wins?"

"Jiang Fan?"

His head buzzed.

He had expected to be the reference for Jiang Fan, to let Jiang Fan assess his own capabilities.

Now, it was the other way around!

Jiang Fan became his reference point, showing him just how lacking he, one of the Taichang Eighteen Sons, was.

In a dazed state, he said, "Is, is he still not coming out?"

"He’s won five consecutive battles!"

"What is he trying to do, break the records of those before him?"

It seemed to confirm his words.

Two hours later.

The number turned into "six"!

Everyone in the room went numb.

For the first time, someone had six consecutive wins at the Slaughter Stele.

Jian Linyu covered her mouth and exclaimed softly, "Grandpa, you weren’t mistaken."

"You were completely blind, weren’t you?"

Jian Lanjiang no longer cared about being mocked.

He quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Zong, the matter of the alliance between the two families will be discussed another time."

"Our Jian family has matters to attend to now."

"We won’t be entertaining you any longer."

Zong Chaosheng felt apprehensive, realizing this was a dismissal order!

He understood that Jian Lanjiang foresaw Jiang Fan potentially achieving an extraordinary feat.

There was a chance he might win ten consecutive battles, reaching the "God Transformation Talent" standard once achieved on the stele.

Thus, clearing the scene early.

Not allowing anyone to know the result.

He cast a deep glance at the stele, reluctantly saying goodbye.

After he left, Jian Lanjiang took out the Communication Jade Pendant and issued orders to the strongest members of the clan.

"Emergency notice."

"From now on, the Jian family refuses all external visitors. Those already in the Jian family, politely see them off!"

"No one is to step into the Jian family from now on."

"Also, bring all young female clan members with good looks and decent talent, regardless of bloodline distance, here."

"Remember, they should all dress beautifully!"

Jian Linyu rolled her eyes.

"Grandpa, are you letting Jiang Fan select a bride?"

Imagining Jiang Fan seeing a group of beauties in front of him, free to choose, she felt displeased.

Lucky guy.

Jian Lanjiang glanced at her plain appearance and said:

"What are you standing there for?"

"Go back and change into something prettier, put on some makeup?"

"You’re in your twenties, not seventeen or eighteen, yet you just wash your face and go out without any makeup!"

"If you get overshadowed, Jiang Fan can’t possibly choose you!"

Huh?

Jian Linyu widened her eyes and pointed at her nose:

"Grandpa, did I hear you wrong?"

"You’re making me part of the bride selection?"

Jian Lanjiang gave her a look: "Are you feeling aggrieved?"

"Do you understand what winning six consecutive battles means?"

"His chances of transforming into a deity are even higher than those of Chen Jing!"

"Hurry and go!"

Jian Linyu’s mind went blank.

No, that wasn’t right!

She just came to see Jiang Fan’s performance out of boredom.

No one told her that after watching, she’d have to be part of a bride selection!

The commotion in the Jian family caused widespread dissatisfaction.

The women who were to be selected as brides were displeased.

The clear-minded Eight-Orifice Nascent Souls who decided the clan’s major matters were even more displeased.

An elder with a strong aura, almost reaching the Nine Acupoints, arrived angrily.

Jian Lanjiang hurried forward to bow: "Senior Sui Chen, what brings you here?"

Sui Chen pointed to the young female clan members outside the hall, expressing resentment:

"You’re allowing the young women of the Jian family to be selected as brides?"

"Even if you’re not worried about your old face, we still have to meet people outside!"

If word got out, what reputation would the women of the Jian family have?

Such degrading treatment of one’s own female kin was unexpectedly from the prudent Jian Lanjiang.

This left him and the other elders feeling baffled.

Jian Lanjiang quickly said: "Senior Sui Chen, please calm down."

"You’ll understand when you see the Slaughter Stele."

Sui Chen huffed: "What’s there to see?"

"No matter how formidable he is, can he defy the heavens..."

However, when his gaze fell on the engraving, the striking "seven" left him thunderstruck.

In the span of gathering everyone, Jiang Fan had won another battle.

Sui Chen’s old eyes widened: "Seven consecutive wins, what level of potential is this?"

Jian Lanjiang took a deep breath and said: "If he can’t transform into a deity, Taicang State will have none capable of succeeding."

"Therefore, I’m doing everything to tie him to the Jian family’s cause."

"While this may tarnish the reputation of the Jian family’s women, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks for the Jian family."

Sui Chen snapped back to reality.

He quickly darted outside the hall, casting a glance over the many young Jian family women.

Seeing their unwilling expressions, he turned his gaze and said:

"Alright, everyone else can leave, don’t linger here."

They, full of complaints, felt as though granted a great pardon.

They didn’t want to be selected as brides anyway.

Sui Chen was knowledgeable and understood them.

Who would have expected.

Sui Chen added:

"Xue Ru, Xue Feng."

"My two granddaughters, don’t go, quickly come with grandpa inside!"
