Fang Zongnan looked at these juniors, a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
The Fang Family was different from the other clans.
The other clans mostly gathered together for some sort of benefit.
But, what the Fang Family played a role in gathering family affection.It was precisely this kind of blood bond that was thicker than water that allowed the Fang family to erupt with an extraordinary power that the ordinary clans could not compare to.
It continued to exist for generations.Fang Zongnan exchanged glances with the other elders.
They could see the satisfaction in Fang Zongnan's expression.
He thought to himself, Looks like we don't need to worry too much about this generation anymore.Fang Wanshui gritted his teeth when he saw that the Patriarch remained silent.
He stood up, "If you insist on going, I'll go on Wanli's behalf!"Fang Wannian was shocked.
He grabbed her arm and said, "Second sister, your injuries aren't light.
You can't go on stage again!"Others didn't know about Fang Wanshui's injuries, but Fang Wannian knew full well that even though he had just landed a punch on Wanshui's lower abdomen, he hadn't held back at all.
Even with Fang Wanshui's strength, he would need half a month's rest before he could recover.
If she were to go up the platform again, the energy in her body wouldn't be able to match a single bolt of heavenly lightning.
Even if she didn't die, she would still be injured.."Let me go!""I'll do it for Wan Li!"Everyone rushed towards the lightning platform.Fang Zongnan furrowed his brows, "Stop right there.
Did I say that I must go to the stage?"After saying these words, Fang Zongnan also made a great decision.
If Fang Wanli really chose not to go on stage, it would likely trigger the sealing of the clan's bloodline, and the Fang Clan would likely decline.Because of this, for nearly a thousand years, when the people of the Fang Family reached adulthood, they had to go to the stage to baptise themselves.
One was to refine their bodies to cleanse their marrows, and the other was to avoid touching the seals.
This was a secret that only the generations of clan masters and clan elders of the Fang Family knew about.But now, Fang Wanli's situation was truly special.
Coupled with the earnestness of the youths around him, Fang Zongnan couldn't help but feel reluctant.
In the end, he decided to give Fang Wanli a chance to make his choice.
Fortunately, Fang Wanli was an ordinary person without any cultivation.
Even if he really touched the seal, there was still a way to remedy it.
The only difference was that the price was a bit higher.When the youths heard this, they turned around in pleasant surprise.
Fang Wannian scratched his head awkwardly, "Patriarch, what do you mean?"Fang Zongnan couldn't help but laugh.
"Whether or not you want to go or not depends on Wan Li's intentions.
What are you all doing?" Everyone began to cheer loudly.Fang Zongnan separated everyone and walked in front of Fang Wanli.
He smiled and looked at him, "Ten Thousand Li, you haven't practiced the Thunderstrike Art.
You don't need to borrow the power of thunder to baptize.
Even if you don't choose the stage, you are still a member of the Fang Family.
No one dares to question you, I promise you!"Fang Wanli raised his head slightly and subconsciously opened his eyes.The rims of her eyes are dry, like dried fish eyes, carrying a trace of death that makes one's heart palpitate.The young men quieted down.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Wanli's face as they waited for his response.After a long time, Fang Wanli smiled and shook his head, "Great Grandfather, big brothers and big sisters, thank you all!" Then, he bowed deeply and straightened up, heading straight for the platform."Wanli, brother Wanli!""Brother, you can't..."The youths were in a state of chaos.
Fang Zongnan silently raised his hand, and the crowd immediately quieted down.Fang Zongnan stared intently at Fang Wanli's frail back and slowly said, "There's no need to persuade him.
He has his reasons for going."Everyone fell silent.
Looking at Fang Wanli's back, their thoughts were complicated.
Some people wanted to know the reason, but when they saw Fang Zongnan's gloomy face, they didn't ask.By this time, Fang Wanli had already arrived at the bottom of the platform.
He reached out and gently stroked the cold stone surface of the platform.There were no stairs on this three-meter tall platform.
For the other Fang Clansmen, this height could be climbed up with a single leap.
However, for the other party, it was like an insurmountable sky moat.
If they wanted to climb up there with their own strength, they could only rely on climbing.Fang Wannian noticed Fang Wanli's predicament, and immediately rushed forward and grabbed onto his shoulder, "Brother, Big Brother will accompany you!"Fang Wanli nodded and remained silent.
There was no need for much conversation between the two brothers.
Fang Wannian's feet paused, and the two of them leaped onto the platform.The moment the two of them landed on the ground, everyone held their breaths and stared at the stage.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone hoped that the lightning would come a little slower and gentler.However, what surprised everyone was that no lightning bolts descended from the night sky.The rumbling sound of thunder rumbled through the night sky and lightning bolts flew through the clouds.
However, there was no sign of lightning bolts.
Instead, the clouds surged even more violently.
The clouds, which had been suppressed to a very low level, began swelling up before moving closer to the ground."What's this?" Fang Wanshui's face turned pale, and he tightly covered his cherry lips.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.Fang Zongnan and the other elders' faces were as heavy as water, and their expressions became extremely solemn.Among the clan elders, there was an old woman who had been silent from the start, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
But at this moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Thunderstorm!
He actually drew thunder!"The Thunder Pavilion was equivalent to a saint tool in the Fang Clan.
According to the legends, the Thunder Pavilion had the protection of the Fang Clan's thousand-year-old ancestral spirits, which would cause lightning bolts of different grades to baptize their clansmen according to their strength.

Thunderstorm was the strongest among them.The stronger the lightning, the higher the future achievements of the clansmen on stage, but similarly, the risk they would face during the baptism was also higher."How could this be?
Fang Wanli is just a blind child!" Another clan elder heard the word 'storm thunder' and his body trembled.
He unconsciously muttered to himself, but his voice was hoarse and sounded like he was groaning.With his mortal body, the consequences were already predictable.
Fortunately, there was also Fang Wannian by Fang Wanli's side.But at this critical moment, Fang Zongnan gritted his teeth and steeled himself, "Ten thousand years, ten thousand miles, retreat!"These short words stunned everyone present.
They all looked at Fang Zongnan in disbelief.
Who would have thought that the usually impartial Fang Zongnan would actually say such words that went against the clan's rules?As a member of the Fang Family, once they stepped onto the stage, there would be no reason for them to retreat.
If the two of them really obeyed their orders and retreated, even if they were in a special situation, they would still wear the clothes of shame.
But at the very least, they would still be able to survive.Fang Wannian, who was on the stage, was stunned.
He looked at Fang Zongnan.
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, he suddenly roared,"No, we brothers don't have cowards.
Even if we die, the ashes will still be spilled on the stage!"Fang Wanshui and the others were jolted awake by these words.
They shouted in unison, "That's right, we brothers don't have cowards!"This sound shook the mountains, pierced through the clouds, and spread far away.Fang Zongnan furrowed his brows.
He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed helplessly.
If the two brothers took the order and left, then he would risk his life to protect the Fang Family.
But now, they were the ones who would go all out.Almost at the same time, a blood-red lightning bolt tore through the night sky and struck straight at the two brothers.At this moment, the mountains were bathed in blood, and the earth rumbled.
Fang Zongnan's expression changed.
He waved his hand and pulled everyone away.With a loud boom, the solid lightning platform trembled.
Blinding lightning bolts lit up, and a flame that was enough to melt gold and burn iron surged in all directions with the lightning platform as the center.Fang Zongnan protected everyone and retreated, but his gaze didn't leave the platform for a moment.
Although the lightning bolts were dazzling, they couldn't block Jiujie's line of sight.
Everything on the stage clearly fell into his eyes.The two brothers miraculously didn't fall down, but their clothes were torn apart and turned into ashes.Fang Wannian stood in front of Fang Wanli, shielded him with his tall figure, and accepted the heaven-shaking lightning strike.But even so, Fang Wannian didn't feel well.
His body swayed and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.As soon as the blood was spat out, it was completely evaporated by the scorching air, leaving no traces of blood.Fang Zongnan and the others had already retreated half a mile away.
Seeing this scene, a wry smile appeared on his calm face.
"Why bother?!"The elder beside him slowly shook his head, "If Fang Wanli doesn't die this time, maybe we should let him practice the Thunder Pulse Incantation.
His willpower is firm, and he has never seen an old woman in his life.
If he can cultivate, he will definitely become a great weapon!"With these two words, the situation in the air changed again.
The thundercloud wildly swept around, forming a giant eye that covered the skies.
Smoke and clouds billowed in his eyes, and lightning swirled rapidly.
The scarlet-red lightning actually formed a vortex, just like a giant red pupil.
Killing intent surged in his pupils.This time, even Fang Zongnan was stunned.
He had seen Baolei before.
He had seen three terrifyingly powerful bolts of red lightning in a row.
But now that Baolei had only struck one bolt, the thunderclouds had suddenly changed.
This situation had already exceeded what he knew.
This was the first time in over a thousand years."Retreat!" Everyone retreated again.Almost at the same time, thunderbolts surged out from Thundercloud's huge eyes.
Over 10 blood-red thunderbolts pounced down, enveloping Lei Zuo's platform in the bloody light.With things having developed to this extent, even Fang Zongnan couldn't interfere.While protecting everyone, he frowned deeply.
Once again, he doubted the rules of the thousand-year-old inheritance.
Could it be that those who were born in the Fang Family had to face such a life and death test?
Why did they not have the right to choose their own destiny?While Fang Zongnan was asking himself this question, Lei Yun's huge eyes had already struck dozens of bloody thunderbolts, finally showing signs of stopping.
Fang Wanshui and the others were extremely anxious.
When they saw the thunderbolt stop, they couldn't help but rush forward, but were stopped by Fang Zongnan with a wave of his hand.The thundercloud eyes in the air twirled.
Although they seemed to stop, Fang Zongnan could sense that a heaven-shaking force was brewing within them.Before the teenagers could ask, they were already stunned by the scene in front of them.Blood red light erupted from the thundercloud's huge eyes.
Countless thunderbolts flew out from the clouds and rapidly condensed into their pupils.
A huge lightning pillar as thick as a mountain descended from the sky.
At the same time, the lightning platform rumbled, as if something was about to rush out of the platform.With a heaven-shaking and earth-shaking bang, lightning bolts struck the platform.Thunder's choosing platform, shatter!Countless gravel flew into the sky.
Smoke and dust mixed with lightning and lightning filled the sky.
The lightning platform turned into a crimson fireball.
It looked like a rising sun.Fang Wanshui and the others were all stunned, their faces ashen.
Under such fierce attacks, even if it was iron men, they would only end up in ashes.The elders were horrified.
The platform that hadn't been damaged in a thousand years had actually shattered!
Could it be that the heavens wanted to destroy my Fang Family?
