Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 108

A bountiful year heralded by the arrival of auspicious snow. As the first heavy snowfall of the New Year descended from the sky, joyous laughter filled the Zhou family village.

The significance of the New Year differed for each person in the village. The young ones grew a year older, becoming more mature, while the elderly aged further, their features marked by time. However, in the hearts of the two elderly members of the Zhou family, joy remained abundant. Their descendants had grown to the point where they could take over the responsibilities of sheltering the Zhou family from wind and rain, gradually relieving the burdens once carried by their ancestors.

Perhaps this was the ultimate wish in the hearts of all the elderly.

"The New Year martial arts competition officially begins..."

With a resounding voice full of vigor, Zhou Quanyi, the third uncle, initiated a round of enthusiastic applause that reverberated throughout the courtyard.

Unlike previous years, there was an addition to the younger generation of the Zhou family who had reached the sixth level of internal strength.

Zhou Yiling, the eldest daughter of Zhou Quanyi, had just turned twenty and was considered a proficient female practitioner among the third generation. While most rural girls would have been married by this age, twenty was by no means the age of an old spinster for cultivators. On the contrary, it was a time of blossoming youth and captivating allure.

Therefore, when Zhou Yiling made her debut, she immediately received the loudest cheers. Her opponent was her second brother, Zhou Yihai. Facing his sister's attacks, Zhou Yihai struggled with a bitter smile, ultimately "luckily" winning after a prolonged exchange. This brought a smile to the faces of the elders of the Zhou family.

Subsequently, Zhou Yixuan and Zhou Yitian took the stage one after another, their martial skills displaying even greater mastery.

Although they did not break through their respective limits this year, the achievements they made were already enough to satisfy the elders.

As for Zhou Yi, as soon as he stood up, all the younger members on the martial arts field scattered in all directions. In a situation where they knew they were destined to lose, no one would willingly embarrass themselves.

Given Zhou Yi's strength, even if all the residents of the Zhou family village swarmed him, it would not cause him much trouble.

Seeing this, Zhou Wude and the other elder members shook their heads with wry smiles. However, deep inside their hearts, they were overjoyed.

With descendants like them, the foundation of the Zhou family village would not decline for at least several decades.

During this year's New Year martial arts competition, Zhou Yitian and Cheng Yanli, the couple, sat separately from the elders and occupied a table of their own. They had already established their own household, branching out from the Zhou Quanxin lineage.

They had been married for a year, and although they were not deeply in love, they at least treated each other with respect, displaying appropriate decorum.

However, Zhou Yi had a vague feeling that they were being too polite to each other. Perhaps, with the passage of time, they would truly accept and understand each other.

Of course, not everything was perfect.

If there was one aspect that the elder members of the family found fault with after their marriage, it was the fact that one year had passed, yet Zhou Yitian and Cheng Yanli had not brought a fourth-generation descendant into the Zhou family.
