I Can Copy Everything Without Limit Chapter 34

Wei Tingxuan and Wei Lulin are worlds apart in terms of standing.

With a Cultivation Talent ranked High Level Grade Eight, Wei Lulin stands as a singular genius in the Yao Country, a prodigy appearing only once in a century.

Even with his meridians damaged, causing a year's setback in his cultivation, his extraordinary talent and profound comprehension allow him to bridge the gap with Wei Luchong within a few years. It's entirely conceivable he could even surpass him.

Furthermore, the influential figures within the family hold him in high esteem. He resides in the Silent Elegance Pavilion, his personal quarters, and the quality of guards assigned to him underscores the family's significant investment in his future.

In stark contrast, Wei Luchong, the patriarch's sole descendant and the current young leader of the Wei family, is attended by a mere three guards, the strongest among them only reaching the peak of Qi Refining Stage Level Ten.

Conversely, Wei Lulin is protected by five guards, with the most potent being a warrior at the Body Refining Stage. It's no surprise that envy and resentment fester within him.

Wei Luchong might have tolerated such a discrepancy in treatment, understanding that Wei Lulin's strength could bolster the Wei family's overall power. However, Wei Lulin's current presence directly threatens his established interests.

Wei Bochen has presided over the Wei family as patriarch for nineteen years.

According to the Wei family's customs, a patriarch serves a thirty-year tenure, provided no unexpected events or critical failures occur.

With eleven years remaining before his term concludes, Wei Luchong is completely confident in his progression to the middle tier of the Body Refining Stage. By that time, his influence should smoothly facilitate his ascension to the patriarchate.

Wei Lulin's unexpected reappearance has severely jeopardized his position. A nascent desire to eliminate Wei Lulin has taken root, further solidified by Wei Bochen's clear favoritism towards him. Wei Luchong's gaze hardens as he internally vows, "Wei Lulin, had you remained confined to the Silent Elegance Pavilion, you would be beyond my grasp. But your audacity knows no bounds, and you dare to enter the Hunting Competition. Fortune indeed smiles upon me with this opportunity."

"Wei Lulin, meeting your demise at my hands is a fate you cannot evade."

Oblivious to the fact that his return had ignited Wei Luchong's murderous intent, Wei Lulin's attention was instead captivated by the arrival of a new procession: the members of the royal family.

Despite any latent displeasure from the three major families, protocol demanded they extend due deference to the Yao family. Consequently, no overt discontent was displayed regarding the royal family's grand entrance.

Upon the royal family's appearance, those of lesser status knelt on both knees, while those of higher status offered a single knee's genuflection. Members of the three prominent families inclined their heads slightly in a gesture of respect.

The royal family's contingent for the Hunting Competition was modest in number, totaling only twenty, yet each individual exuded vigor and possessed considerable strength. Aside from Yao Yafeng, two others within the group sent shivers down Wei Lulin's spine.

Yao Jiu, the nominal head of the royal family, might wield only average capability and cultivation, but as the sovereign of the nation, it was his obligation to officiate the annual Hunting Competition.

Whatever Yao Jiu proclaimed from the elevated platform, Wei Lulin paid it no heed.

Having endured countless monotonous meetings in his previous life, he recognized the insignificance of such orations. Moreover, his focus was directed elsewhere, towards specific individuals within the royal entourage, particularly the one at the forefront.

Yao Yafeng.

Wei Lulin's sentiments towards Yao Yafeng were a complex tapestry.

A sense of grudging gratitude towards Yao Yafeng resided within him; without that individual's pursuit, Wei Lulin would not have been compelled back into the territory of the Grade Nine Magical Beast, nor would his strength have escalated so swiftly.

Yet, a measure of animosity towards Yao Yafeng also existed, for without that relentless chase, Wei Lulin would not have endured over a month of dire hardship within the caves of the Endless Forest.

If one were to tally his feelings, his antagonism towards Yao Yafeng held greater weight. The experience of being hunted was far from pleasant.

Furthermore, the deep-seated animosity between their respective families rendered a final confrontation between them inevitable.

Recognizing the ineffectiveness of prolonged oration and sensing the audience's growing impatience for substantive action, Yao Jiu delivered his speech concisely. After offering a few words of encouragement, he descended from the platform.

A man bearing the demeanor of a eunuch then took the stage, his high-pitched voice drawing the complete attention of everyone present.

This eunuch held the esteemed position of the royal family's Great Manager, situated at the middle level of the Body Refining Stage, signifying him as a formidable cultivator. His designated task was to formally announce the regulations of the Hunting Competition and to reveal the grand prizes awaiting the victors.

The stipulations were starkly simple, yet unnervingly harsh.

A dedicated Hunting Ground, situated thirty miles from the bustling Looh City, was designated for the competition.

This very Hunting Ground originated five centuries prior, established by the royal family’s foremost expert and the three prominent clans. They chose a natural forest expanse as the battleground, subsequently populating it with diverse beasts, all procured from the vast and untamed Endless Forest.

Within this menagerie, the creatures ranged from formidable High Rank Grade Nine magical beasts down to the less imposing Low Rank Grade Ten, alongside a scattering of unclassified wild fauna. These beasts were strategically released into the forest, which had been meticulously sectioned into distinct tiers using arcane methods, thereby confining each beast grade to its designated zone.

The inception of this elaborate Hunting Ground was fueled by a pressing need to offer a secure training crucible for the younger progeny of the clans. The considerable distance of the Endless Forest from Looh City, coupled with its inherent dangers, had sparked serious apprehension regarding potential significant casualties among the burgeoning generation.

As the prowess of the three great families burgeoned over the ensuing eras and the ruling royal family’s influence began to ebb, internal strife among the populace escalated.

Following a protracted decade of escalating feuds, the four major powers found their collective strength severely diminished. To forestall any opportunistic incursions from external factions capitalizing on their weakened stance, a pact was struck to cease overt hostilities. Subsequently, a portion of the Hunting Ground was consecrated as a competitive theater for the younger scions of each faction. Their demonstrated achievements would dictate the standing of their respective powers and consequently, renegotiate the annual distribution of profits from Yao Country.

Were it not for this protective measure, the most potent among the young contenders, barely reaching Seventh Level Qi Refining Stage, would be utterly defenseless against even a Low Rank Grade Nine Magical Beast, facing an almost certain demise.

The meteoric ascent of the Xie family’s influence over the past decade, even daring to challenge the established might of the royal family, is largely attributable to their unwavering success in the annual Hunting Competition. These repeated victories have not only amplified their prestige within Yao Country but have also progressively fortified their overall strength and capabilities.

Wei Lulin was acutely aware of this intricate web of power dynamics. His paramount concern, however, centered on the promised rewards for the current year's Hunting Competition. Historically, the prizes had been exceptionally generous, and participants braved the perils not merely for personal valor but to secure a portion of the ensuing year's benefits for their families. Consequently, victors could anticipate not only the sanctioned accolades but also substantial additional commendations and rewards bestowed by their own familial lineages.

Despite the alarming attrition rate inherent in the Hunting Competition, it unfailingly draws a vast throng of eager aspirants each year. Their motivations are fueled by an ardent desire to bring honor to their clans and by the profound allure of the considerable riches that lie within reach.
