As everyone was about to prepare for a big feast a messenger came running in.`
"Attention! Attention! I come from the holy leopard family. I am here because our patriarch Long Chen has invited the red fire-dragon family to a banquet to celebrate the victory the three young geniuses of the town achieved at the young soul expert competition in duskshore city."
"If that is the case we don't want to be rude and decline." The patriarch said. "Everyone we're going over to the holy leopard family."
This was an evening which would go down in the history books as the first time the three great families came together.
That night the holy leopard family was hosting, when the red fire-dragon family arrived Long Yue asked Wang Wei when the rest would arrive as there were only a couple hundred people who came in.
"This is everyone. I really meant it when I said we were a small family." Wang Wei said.
"Hey Long Yue, Wang Wei!" was suddenly heard.
"Hey, Lee Zheng!" Long Yue shouted back.
When the three were together they walked to an empty space on the grounds that were owned by the holy leopard family.
"So how did it go with you guys when you returned?" Long Yue asked.
"My family was very proud of me and also wanted to throw a feast in my honor but just as they wanted to make the preparations a messenger came with the message that we were invited by the holy leopard family. I immediately knew it was you who asked if we could come, Long Yue." Wang Wei said.
"Actually. My father said he wanted to throw a feast in the honor of us three. He said that without you guys I would never have made it this far and he isn't wrong." Long Yue said. "How about you Lee Zheng?"
"My situation was the same as the one of Wang Wei. My family wanted to throw me a feast not only for winning the tournament but also for bringing a snow-white eagle soul egg. They were really excited to finally have a guardian beast. They immediately hatched it and right now it is back at the family' grounds. It has a few people looking after it. The family patriarch already tamed it. What did you guys do with your soul egg?" Lee Zheng said.
"My family is going to put it up for auction. It will probably bring in a lot of money that is also a big reason my family is in such high spirits. If we do everything right we don't have to worry about money problems for the next couple of years." Wang Wei said.
"My family put it in the family' treasury. Our treasury now already has dozens of soul eggs some beasts are really weak but there are also pretty strong beast eggs. The snow-white eagle egg is one of the stronger ones. So we still have to count ourselves lucky we came across them." Long Yue said.
"My family also has a treasury but there are not many things that we have that is very interesting. Almost all of the useful or valuable things that were once in our treasury were sold just so that the family could survive. I don't know what exactly lies in our treasury however I do know that the most powerful and valuable things were sold. So if you want to find those things you have to be somewhere else." Wang Wei said.
"Yeah, same here." Lee Zheng said. "Although we still have a few valuable things that are like godsend treasure to my family. Like the snow-white crystal. It is a crystal that will improve the cultivation speed of a person with a snow-white soul form. However, it is a very rare crystal only found once in a hundred years. If you consume it, it will help your cultivation soar for a few weeks but that is it."
"Let's go back to the feast. They probably want us to be there." Long Yue said.
"Okay." Wang Wei and Lee Zheng said.
When the boys came back they saw the patriarchs of each family drinking together. The patriarch of the holy leopard family was Long Chen he was a rank sixty-two soul warrior who had the holy leopard soul form. The patriarch of the snow-white eagle family had the snow-white falcon soul form. He had a variant soul form which helped him with speed. He was a rank sixty soul warrior. And the patriarch of the red fire-dragon family was a rank sixty-four soul warrior with the red fire-dragon soul form. He was the person chosen by the gods this millennium to inherit the red fire-dragon soul form. But a family could not rely on one person. That is why even though they have a strong expert within the family they are still very poor.
"Will the three geniuses make their way to the front please?" The patriarch of the holy leopard clan asked.
As Wang Wei, Long Yue and Lee Zheng walked towards the middle of the great hall in which the feast was held everyone looked at them with looks of approval.
"I am sure everyone is interested in one thing now." The patriarch said. "Which advanced academy are you going to chose. I know that you have gotten some offers during the tournament so I am really curious as to which academy you will choose."
"We will all go to jade academy. It is an unknown academy as of now but there are teachers there, of the soul king level there are even two heavenly gods." Wang Wei said.
Then someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yeah, right. Two heavenly gods in one academy. Why haven't we heard about it then? The mighty glory academy has three heavenly gods at the top of the academy. Everyone knows that."
"Who over here is calling glory academy mighty?" Wang Wei said. "If they are so mighty, why did we defeat them with ease in the trio and duo tournament. I Wang Wei beat Long Sha' ass without breaking a sweat he is a weak arrogant jerk."
"I did." A boy said as he stepped forward.
