Inside the massive central hall of the Clark Family residence, the atmosphere felt unusually heavy.
Rows upon rows of young martial warriors stood silently with serious expressions.
Eighty-three Peak Grandmaster Warriors.
Every single one of them represented the strongest younger generation of the Clark Family.
The pressure released by so many Peak Grandmasters gathered together made even the surrounding air feel heavier.
At the very front stood two figures.
Leo Clark.
And Kevin Clark, the son of the Third Elder.
The two represented the current brightest martial talents among the younger Clark generation.
Yet despite the grand gathering...
One important person was missing.
Tony Clark.
Patriarch Rion Clark sat at the head seat while staring coldly at the empty position reserved for Tony.
His face looked increasingly ugly.
"This bastard..." he muttered inwardly.
"At a ti like this, he still dares to skip the family gathering?!"
Several elders imdiately noticed the Patriarch’s dark mood.
The Seventh Elder was the first to speak with dissatisfaction.
"Hmph!"
"The future prince of the Clark Family cannot even attend an ergency gathering?"
His eyes swept toward the empty seat mockingly.
"Where is Tony Clark?"
"Did he run away already after hearing about the Golden Heir Tournant?"
Several elders quietly laughed afterward.
Only the Third Elder remained silent while observing the reactions calmly.
Rion Clark suppressed the irritation inside his heart before replying coldly.
"He is still inside Nine Lotus Academy preparing for the tournant."
The Seventh Elder sneered imdiately afterward.
"Preparing?"
"He can prepare after attending the family gathering."
Then suddenly, the Seventh Elder looked around again before asking another question.
"What about Lily Frost?"
"Why isn’t she present either?"
The atmosphere instantly beca slightly awkward.
Rion’s expression darkened briefly before answering calmly.
"Lily Frost will participate representing the Frost Family."
"The marriage knot between her and Tony is not tied yet."
"Officially... she still belongs to the Frost Family."
Several elders imdiately looked unhappy afterward.
"What?!"
"Then doesn’t that an we are losing one of the strongest younger talents?!"
"That old fox Andrew Frost truly knows how to take advantage!"
"Hmph! The Frost Family benefited too much from this marriage arrangent!"
Many elders beca visibly dissatisfied.
Especially because Lily Frost was already considered one of the strongest younger Peak Grandmasters in the world.
Losing her support during the Golden Heir Tournant felt painful.
Finally—
Patriarch Rion Clark slowly stood up from his seat.
The entire hall instantly beca silent afterward.
His sharp eyes swept across all eighty-three Peak Grandmasters standing below.
"This gathering concerns the future of our Clark Family."
His heavy voice echoed across the hall seriously.
"The Golden Heir Tournant is no longer a normal competition."
"It is directly connected to the World Tree Blessing."
The younger generation imdiately straightened their backs further.
Even their breathing beca heavier.
Rion continued calmly.
"You all already know the importance of the World Tree Blessing."
"Inside it may exist Dream Realm inheritances..."
"...World Tree Seeds..."
"...and opportunities capable of changing your fate forever."
His eyes sharpened afterward.
"If anyone from our Clark Family secures a spot and survives..."
"...your future will rise beyond imagination."
The atmosphere instantly beca heated afterward.
Many younger warriors clenched their fists tightly with excitent.
Then Rion suddenly waved his hand.
Several servants imdiately entered carrying dozens of jade boxes carefully.
Rion spoke again:
"For encouragent..."
"...the family will reward every Peak Grandmaster participant with one hundred Life Energy Stones."
BOOOOOOM!!!
The younger generation instantly beca excited.
Even so elders looked slightly shocked.
One hundred Life Energy Stones per person?!
That was an enormous expenditure even for the Clark Family.
Several servants imdiately began distributing the rewards carefully.
The younger generation’s breathing beca hurried while receiving the precious stones.
Rion continued afterward:
"And if any one of you successfully secures a qualification spot..."
"...the family will reward you greatly afterward."
The atmosphere imdiately beca fiery.
But before Rion could continue further—
The Third Elder suddenly stood up slowly.
His calm eyes swept across the younger generation carefully.
"As previously discussed..." he said slowly.
"...whoever obtains a World Tree Blessing spot first and successfully crosses the Grandmaster Warrior stage..."
"...will beco the next prince of the Clark Family."
Silence.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Many younger warriors widened their eyes imdiately.
Even Leo Clark’s expression changed slightly afterward.
Rion’s face darkened visibly.
Clearly...
He disliked the Third Elder bringing up this matter publicly now.
Especially because Tony Clark wasn’t even present.
Still...
Rion did not refute the statent.
Because this agreent had already been discussed earlier among the elders privately.
The Third Elder continued calmly afterward.
"The Clark Family does not need weak princes."
"We need true monsters capable of leading future generations."
His eyes landed briefly on Leo Clark afterward.
"And this tournant..."
"...will prove who truly deserves that position."
Several younger warriors imdiately beca restless afterward.
Especially Kevin Clark.
The Third Elder’s son slowly raised his head proudly.
Clearly...
He viewed this as his greatest opportunity to rise above Tony and Leo completely.
Soon afterward, more encouraging speeches followed from different elders.
So spoke about family glory.
So spoke about revenge against rival families.
So promised resources and authority for successful participants.
The younger generation’s fighting spirit slowly rose higher and higher.
***
anwhile...
The sa scene was happening throughout the entire martial world.
Inside the Imperial Family palace, King Jamie Smith directly stood before over sixty younger Peak Grandmasters with a cold expression.
Unlike the Clark Family gathering...
The atmosphere here felt oppressive.
Jamie’s eyes swept across the younger generation sharply.
"You all already know the situation."
"The Imperial Family must dominate the Golden Heir Tournant."
His tone suddenly beca colder afterward.
"And whoever fails to secure a World Tree Blessing spot..."
"...will be punished personally by ."
The younger generation instantly beca pale afterward.
Even Mark Smith narrowed his eyes slightly.
Jamie continued rcilessly:
"The Imperial Family does not raise useless trash."
"If you fail..."
"...then don’t bla for being ruthless."
The atmosphere beca terrifyingly silent afterward.
***
anwhile...
Inside the Frost Family...
Andrew Frost personally approached Lily Frost inside the sword training chamber.
"Lily."
His voice sounded unusually serious.
Lily slowly stopped her sword movent before turning toward him calmly.
Andrew stared at his daughter carefully before speaking.
"This tournant..."
"...you must protect the Frost Family’s future."
Lily remained silent.
Andrew sighed softly afterward.
"The World Tree Blessing is too important."
"We cannot afford failure."
Lily slowly nodded afterward.
"I understand."

anwhile...
Inside Nine Lotus Academy...
Every Peak Master had already begun personally training their direct disciples.
Massive amounts of academy resources were opened imdiately.
Rare herbs.
Life pools.
Training formations.
Everything was activated.
The academy itself beca filled with cultivation pressure day and night.
Everyone understood clearly.
This Golden Heir Tournant would change the younger generation hierarchy of the entire world.
***
anwhile... Inside the Healing Tower...
Emma Rock quietly listened while Peak Master Natasha explained the final decision.
"The Octopus Organization confird it." Natasha said seriously.
"The only way to secure a World Tree Blessing spot..."
"...is through battle."
Emma remained silent briefly afterward.
Surprisingly...
She didn’t look disappointed.
Instead...
A faint confident smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Good."
Natasha blinked slightly.
Emma slowly stood up afterward.
"Then I will simply fight my way in."
Her eyes burned with determination.
"And not only that..."
Emma’s lips curved upward slightly afterward.
"I will take the Number One position during the Golden Heir Tournant."
Even Natasha beca slightly stunned by the confidence in her voice.
Emma continued calmly:
"As for the extra spots rewarded afterward..."
"...I will donate them to Nine Lotus Academy."
Natasha stared at Emma silently for several monts afterward.
Then slowly...
A satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Good."
"As expected of my disciple."
anwhile...
Far away inside his residence...
Tony Clark remained completely unaware that countless younger monsters across the world were already preparing desperately to crush one another during the upcoming Golden Heir Tournant.
