Chapter 563
If anyone saw Henry's current state, they would definitely laugh out loud.
Henry put his hands on his head carefully, as if he was holding a transparent vase. When he walked, his pace was very slow. He lifted his foot slowly and stepped carefully. It was no exaggeration to say that it took him three or four seconds to take a step, just like acting in a TV drama.
It was not Henry's fault. He had to be cautious. He could clearly feel that the lotus flower above his head was too fragile. If there was a little bit of wind, the flower would wither.
Henry sat by the bed and didn't even dare to lie down. He was afraid that the lotus would fall if he lay down.
Master Lu said that the flower should not fall. He must have had a good reason for saying that. But now, no matter how doubtful Henry was, he couldn't ask. Master Lu was buried by him personally.
Henry sat on the edge of the bed. When he stood still, the lotus flower above his head stayed there firmly.
The appearance of the lotus made Henry's plan to study for the whole night completely shattered, and he had to sit there. Henry did not know that the Tang family's method was nothing compared to the lotus above his head. Even if he finished practising their method, it was not as important as a petal on the lotus.
In the citadel, birds were chirping, and people, who were dancing under the moonlight, also returned to their rooms.
When the first ray of sunlight rose, all the people in the Tang family Citadel came out of their houses. They fed the livestock, did farming, and the younger generation was practising kungfu.
Each person had their own things to do.
"Today, regarding the competition, anyone who meets the requirements, come gather on the kungfu practice platform!"
A loud shout resounded through the valley.
Haley walked out of a wooden house with a proud face. He looked in the direction of the Tang family Citadel with his eyes full of aggressiveness.
Uriah also came out of the place where he lived. He clenched his fists and said, "This time, I must get good results!"
Teresa also had enough rest to prepare for today's competition.
Among the younger generation of the Tang family, both men and women nursed their strength. In the clan, the competition was significant. The ranking determined everyone's status in the clan for the future, including the training resources. One must know that the ultimate growth of a person was closely related to the resources in the early stage.
The clan competition was well-known!
Henry knew nothing about this. Now he was leaning against the bed with his eyes closed, and one hand was still on top of his head.
"Ah!"
There was a loud shout, which lingered in the canyon.
The shout spread all over the valley. Henry, who was sleeping, suddenly trembled and opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Henry subconsciously touched his head. When he felt the lotus, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the lotus was still there!
Henry didn't even know how he fell asleep last night. Anyway, he just leaned against the bed and didn't dare to move.
Henry slowly got up and shook his head gently. He found that the lotus seemed to be much more solid than last night. Last night, with even slightest move, the lotus would tend to fall down. Now he was walking normally and shaking, but it would not affect the lotus.
This discovery made Henry relax. God knew what was going on with the lotus flower. If it kept growing on his head and made Henry be extremely careful every day, Henry would be really tired. Now it was not bad. If the lotus became stronger and more stable over time, it would not affect his daily life in the future.
Henry went to the door and pushed it open. At the moment when the door was opened, fresh air blew on his face. Henry took a deep breath. The air in the mountain was not polluted at all. After taking a breath, he felt that his mind was much clearer.
Another loud shout spread along the valley. Henry looked in the direction of the voice, just to see the huge kungfu platform in front of the gate of Tang family Citadel. At this moment, there were many people around the platform. On the platform, two young men were fighting, and the voices came from the platform.
Henry looked over there curiously and walked over. He held his head with one hand. Although walking normally could not affect the lotus flower above his head, Henry was doing that out of precautions.
Henry went over and found that the patriarch and the second patriarch of the Tang family were all here. They were sitting on the main seat. The leader of the Tang clan, Ferdinand, and those middle-
aged men and women from yesterday were also sitting here.
"Brother Zhang, you are here." Uriah came from the side.
"What are you..." Henry looked at Uriah. Uriah's face was bruised, and he looked very embarrassed.
Uriah gave a wry smile. "I lost the competition. I thought I could at least enter the top ten, but I didn't expect that I overestimated myself."
Henry looked at the stage. At this moment, the battle on the platform was coming to an end.
Haley threw a punch at his opponent's abdomen and directly threw him out of the ring.
"He's so powerful!"
"Too strong!"
"Haley deserves to be called the first master of the younger generation. I'm afraid only the older generation can deal with him!"
The young people who were watching the battle under the stage all looked at the podium and spoke. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Haley put his hands behind his back and looked down at the audience proudly.
The man in red sat on the main seat and looked at his son on the stage. His expression did not change at all. He knew that no one would be a match for his son in this big competition.
Henry also nodded secretly. He had just seen Haley's movements and strength, which were not much worse than that of Sea God and others. If he were in the outside world, he would definitely be able to take charge of one area by himself.
Ferdinand, the head of the Tang clan, stood up and shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to participate in this challenge?"
After asking, Ferdinand glanced around. When he saw that no one said anything, he continued, "If there is no one, the first place goes to Haley. The second place is..."
Before Ferdinand could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice.
Haley, who was standing on the ring, said loudly, "Leader, if it were in the past, I would be happy to get the first place, but today, I don't dare to take it."
"Oh? Why?" Ferdinand was confused.
Haley turned around and fixed his eyes directly on Henry under the platform. "Today, there is another person who I haven't challenged. Yesterday, my father told me that there will always be someone better than me in this world. I really want to know, where do I stand compared with the people outside the clan. So, I want to challenge this person, Brother Zhang!"
As soon as Haley's words came out, the younger generation under the stage all exclaimed in unison.
"This..." Ferdinand looked at Henry with embarrassment, then shook his head and said, "Haley, Henry is a guest of honour here."
"So, he doesn't dare to do fight, does he?" Haley looked at Henry provocatively.
