Unfortunately, despite clearly reading the atmosphere she didn't show any reaction and kept on looking at Jian Shen.

"Think of this as another reason to marry my sister, young hero."

Stepping close to Jian Shen and side steeping Yanyu who looked like she would bite her, she whispered into his ears, "The current Dong Clan's wife was once known across the entire Divine Realm for her beauty. So if you win, you should take her."

Turning around and leaving after she said so, Wu Ning left Jian Shen to his own thoughts.

Take someone's wife away?

While the thought might have sounded exciting, he wasn't actually the kind who'd forcefully take a woman away with him.

Especially not without any proper reason.

Due to this, he shook his head and got rid of that thought.

Not to mention how he would feel from doing that, he was sure that his women would definitely show him a fun little skit if he did such a thing.

"Whats the Spiritual Beast Hunting Compet.i.tion?"

Listening to the question posed to her, Cui Yan who looked way too excited for some reason said, "The Spiritual Beast Hunting Compet.i.tion is something which takes place once every 50 years for the control and authority over the city."

"Depending on the final rankings in the compet.i.tion, the top four spots will each get authority over one-fourth of the city. And if two from the same force are in the top four, then that force will get the chance to change the name of the city into whatever they want."

Understanding quite a bit from these words, Jian Shen guessed that last time the Spiritual Beast Hunting Compet.i.tion took place the top four were all from one force allowing the four clans to share a quarter of authority over the Lee City.

"But you haven't yet said how the compet.i.tion works."

"Ah right. The hunt takes part inside a separate realm which has specially created and is maintained for the compet.i.tion."

"Only those below 100 years can enter it, and none of them can be rogue cultivators or belong to any force other than the four clans."

"Inside the separate realm are specially created beasts which resemble the real ones in strength. But once they are killed, they don't leave behind anything and turn into spiritual points which are recorded on the token you take when entering."

"As for the points, it depends on how strong the beast you killer is."

Listening to all of it, Jian Shen who found the rules quite straightforward and much more simple than he expected couldn't help but ask, "That's it? All I need to do is kill more beasts than the others?"

"In a sense, yes, but you can also win without killing even a single beast."

"Huh?"

"Inside the septate realm, you can freely kill the others who have entered the compet.i.tion and take the Spiritual Points they have collected."

"All you need to do is take their token and break it to obtain all of the Spiritual Points they earnt."

Hearing those words Jian Shen suddenly felt as if he was enlightened and understood why it was that all the four clans had obtained the top four ranks respectively with no one winning two times.

Most likely, all of the clan members must have given their token to a single person allowing the individuals' score to skyrocket.

Too and that there weren't any special rewards for coming in the first rank.

This also allowed Jian Shen to know that if he wanted to win the bet he had with Dong Clan and also let Cui Clan obtain an advantage, he'd have to secure a position all by himself and then let those from the Cui Clan obtain another position.

Once he did that, he'd win his own personal bet and let the Cui Clan obtain a ma.s.sive advantage by letting them change the name of the city and give them control over half of the city.

...

After understanding about the rules and knowing that the compet.i.tion was just two months away, Jian Shen didn't waste any more time and started cultivating to split his soul.

After all, while he was strong, there was no such thing as being strong enough.

As for why he was doing all of this, Jian Shen truly had no idea.

Not regarding the cultivation, but rather about helping Cui Yan.

Honestly speaking, he didn't really have any sort of a relations.h.i.+p with Cui Yan for him to try and help her.

Was he trying to make her his by doing so?

But given how much she seemed to love her clan, even if Jian Shen helped her and made it possible for the Cui Clan to survive the upcoming disaster and give it a chance to regain its former glory, it would be impossible for him to take her with him since she would obviously stay here to take care of her clan.

So, why was he even doing all of this?

Groaning at how he didn't know the answer but still wanted to do so, Jian Shen chose to close his eyes and just focus on cultivating.

With how he always did whatever he wanted, Jian Shen chose to not think too much and do whatever it was that he felt like.

That was his style after all.
