Chapter 1183: Chapter 1169: The Seat Competition Begins

The duel between the two didn’t require an additional venue.

At Baiyu’s suggestion, the girl immediately attacked, her fierce fists and kicks aimed at Baiyu, but they landed on him without causing any pain or itch.

Not to mention harming Baiyu.

Even breaking through his skin’s basic defense was quite difficult.

"Alright, you’ve passed."

At this moment.

Baiyu saw that the girl was still reluctant to give up and immediately said.

"Huh? But I haven’t caused any damage to you yet..."

"Internal injury."

"Really? I can cause internal injuries?"

The girl appeared slightly surprised but seemed to quickly accept Baiyu’s explanation, then expectantly said, "So now, we’re allies?"

"Yes, I’m Geman."

Baiyu extended his hand.

The girl shook his hand firmly, "Elise, from the Chaotic Star Realm, planet number 125."

The family is the Nan’an Clan, which family are you from?"

"Oh, I am my own family."

Baiyu chuckled and said, "Let’s call it a day; I need to find other teammates. Just two people aren’t enough."

"Oh, right, I also need to find other teammates. Perhaps we could form a team and eventually get the seats we want."

Elise made a goodbye gesture to Baiyu and quickly headed to the next family’s residence.

Baiyu began to continue his journey in search of allies.

However.

Besides Elise, he did not encounter other solo family members; it seemed other families came well-prepared, with five main characters in their teams.

After a busy night, he didn’t gain anything.

Early the next morning, a staff member of the Forgotten Association came to the courtyard.

"The Bain Clan, all seven major families of the Forgotten Association have arrived and are waiting in the main hall for the remaining peripheral families. Once you get there, this Forgotten Association competition will officially start, hurry over."

This staff member was very polite.

Despite only two people living in the Bain family’s courtyard, he didn’t show any disdain.

"Alright, we will head over now," Harley Bain replied with a smile.

This time, the family hosting the Forgotten Association seat dispute is the Laine Clan, known for their belligerence and ferocity among the seven families, with a lion as their emblem.

So, along the way.

One could see many sculptures and buildings related to lions.

Baiyu and Bain arrived at the Laine Clan’s main hall, which was a massive stone lion’s head, hollowed out to form the entire Laine Clan’s main hall.

Upon entering.

Baiyu remarked on its spaciousness.

Coupled with the fact that the carriage he arrived by couldn’t view the outer world environment, Baiyu suspected it was in an independent small world.

At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the hall.

Almost everyone was grouped in circles, cautiously surrounded by other families. Those in the hall were there as family units.

After waiting a while longer.

There were roughly two hundred people in the hall.

On the main stage.

Seven stone chairs were arranged.

Once people arrived, seven individuals gradually emerged from the back of the hall, comprising men and women, the old and young.

They sat on the stone chairs in order.

"Ladies and gentlemen,"

The person sitting in the center of the seven chairs was indeed the Laine Patriarch.

He had long golden hair, and his voice was deep and resonant, like a bell ringing in one’s ears: "Welcome everyone to the Laine Clan, to... the Forgotten Association, to partake in this grand competition.

I won’t waste words.

Everyone is well aware of the rules of the Forgotten Association competition.

We in the Forgotten Association have always judged one’s position and the rights they can possess using force.

If you have the ability, even my chair can be yours.

Alright.

Before the competition begins, I must routinely ask if anyone is withdrawing?"

Although his voice wasn’t loud, it echoed in the empty hall, bringing immense authority.

The site was silent.

No family stepped forward.

As the Laine Patriarch was about to announce proceeding to the next stage, Harley Bain suddenly stepped forward to the center of the hall.

At a time when no one else stood forth.

Her emergence was particularly conspicuous.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward her.

"Isn’t this little Harley from the Bain Clan? Who would have thought she’d grow so big; did the Bain Clan send just you this year?"

Beside the Laine Patriarch.

A middle-aged woman smiled and asked.

"Yes, Madam Rose."

Harley respectfully answered the question, then looked at the Laine Patriarch: "Laine Patriarch, our Bain Clan wants to withdraw from this competition."

This statement caused an uproar in the hall.

People buzzed, discussing how the Bain Clan once was one of the seven major families of the Forgotten Association.

Even after losing the main seat.

It remained one of the strongest among the peripheral families, with few able to contest the Bain Clan.

A family any moment capable of reclaiming one of the seven main seats.

But surprisingly.

Now the Bain Clan has fallen so low that not only can’t they reclaim the main seat, but even the peripheral seat seems hard to maintain.

As strong as the Bain Clan was, no family could always remain at their peak, and yet, only one girl comes to this competition.

"Hahaha, you should’ve gone long ago, Bain Clan, ever since you lost to us two hundred years ago, you should’ve exited the Forgotten Association."

On the stone chair far left.

A person appearing as a little boy laughed.

"Dwarf, be careful, this is the Forgotten Association competition, this year it’s the Laine Clan’s home field, do I need to remind you of how many foolish things your Ackman Family did lately?"

At this moment.

The woman called "Madam Rose" by Harley coldly spoke. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The boy curled his lips, "Tch, what pride, in a couple of years, I’ll kick your Rose Clan out of the main seats."

"You can try."

Madam Rose still smiled coldly, but the boy didn’t respond anymore.

Seeing no one speak, the Laine Patriarch solemnly asked, "Harley Bain, are you sure the Bain Clan wants to relinquish the Forgotten Association’s seat? This means losing all conveniences and protections offered by the Forgotten Association, with no opportunity to rejoin."

"Yes."

Harley Bain nodded, "But we’re not simply giving up; we’re gifting our seat to someone else."

Upon hearing this.

The hall’s atmosphere grew more silent.

Even some families newly joined were unaware of this rule of the Forgotten Association, and only through explanations from nearby people did they understand the gifting rules.

The Laine Patriarch furrowed his brow, "Really? Are you certain? Regarding the gifting rules, I believe the Bain Clan should be well aware."

"Yes, he is the recipient of our seat, Mr. Geman."

Harley looked to the side.
