The First son’s arrival

Martin's body frame changed as multiple cracking and crunching noises could be heard from his body, he grew from 5 foot 11 to 6 foot 4, silver fur grew on his body as his muscle grew out to make him seem rather bulky and muscular, his fangs fully came out as his hair also grew in length, " I think it's about time you learnt my brothers prospects" Martin said in a deep growl as his aura changed, he was now a Rank 6 petal realm cultivator with a battle power that climbed 2 ranks, the spear he created disappeared as he bare his claws and circled Matheo. Martin's development with his beast form made Marlice frown deeply as while she expected him to improve his cultivation due to the restriction they placed on him as a child, she did not however, think the change would be this drastic as to put him in the level of her first son.

Matheo rushed at Martin who reciprocated the gesture with even more haste, when their figures clashed, Matheo stabbed at Martin's cultivation core, he was aiming to either damage or cripple Martin's cultivation. Martin was I flustered by this and grabbed the weapon by the blade and squeezed down.

Marlice thought that Matheo could win with this action but set up a counter measure as she silently approached Anthony who was enraptured in the battle filled with anxiety of the result.

To everyone's surprise the blade actually broke off from the point he grabbed which meant more than half of the swords blade was gone leaving a rugged stump of a blade. Martin used his momentum and struck Matheo full force in the chest sending him flying into the golden statue that was at the door of the Town hall 350 yards away. Matheo dropped the sword which made his battle power dropped to climbing only 1 rank, Matheo clenched his fists in rage as he gave Martin a hateful glare. Out of the blue Matheo yelled in anger as a black mist leaked out of his eyes, mouth as his veins throbbed and radiated black, his cultivation rose to a rank 4 petal realm cultivator with a battle power that climbed three ranks, what came as slight shock was the fact that he rushed to actually attack Anthony who Marlice was standing behind silently.

Martin was going to rush to defend Anthony just to find that somebody was restricting his movement with their pressure the person was likely one of the viewing elders trying to fawn  over Matheo. Martin gritted his teeth and activated a Floral Movement skill: Wonder dash to force his way out of the pressure which great difficulty, but he was still too slow Matheo was already before the frowning Anthony as his blade made its descent.

Martin was still approaching as he watched in horror as the blade was about to make contact with Anthony, However just then a silhouette flashed by and took Anthony along with it disappearing into the crowd Whitehall came as a great relief to Martin. He took a quick glance to see who it was to discover that it was the girl from earlier.

"Thank you Susa, I owe you one" Martin thought to himself before he continued to rush at Matheo with a hate filled glare as his skin thickened his claws sharpened and flesh grew out more, His aura changed again to a Rank 8 petal realm cultivator with a battle power that climbed 1rank.

"I think that is very much enough!!" A male voice sounded from afar catching everyone's attention. Martin frowned but looked over anyway, he wanted to see who wether this person would support Matheo or not.

It came as no surprise to Martin when he saw who It was. It was a male with a slightly mature appearance, he was 28 years of age and stood at 6 foot 1, he had a slightly bulky frame and wore a black layered kimono and Hakama, his facials features were relatively handsome, he had the aura of a Rank 7 Petal realm cultivator, His is known as Lucas Compton, the first son of the Clan chief and the Number one genius of the clan.

"If it isn't senior Lucas" Martin acknowledged with a bow and a faint smile," I wonder what might possibly cause you to appear before we little ones" Martin said feigning confusion as he spoke

"You are no longer a member of our Compton clan and are hereby banished. The same applies to your parents and that outcast you call a brother, your crime is unsealing your beast form with the intention of bringing harm to a member of our Compton clan" Lucas started with his hand behind his back, If you try to resist you will be removed forcibly, and as for that brat that doesn't know to appreciate favors, she will be banished of the crime of assisting an enemy of our clan to escape just full punishment for his arrogance," Hearing this the corner of Martin's lips twitched, This guy wasn't even trying to his Kfr his bias towards his brother and he outright called them enemies from the get go.

"I think you are mistaken of something" Martin blurted," While I indeed used a forbidden power to harm a member of the clan I could not sit around and watch someone sully the dignity and pride of someone my father adopted, also as a fellow older sibling I think you can understand my sentiments towards my younger brother," Martin said receding his beast form so as to push for innocence, He could well shut them both up, doing that would only further drive his point home.

"Might you be trying to plead leniency for your actions today??" Lucas asked I a semi mocking tone. "That is precisely my intention, at the very least I do not wish for my parents or brother to be affected by my actions so I will shoulder all responsibility" Martin responded with a look of determination on him. Lucas was lightly surprised by the response and began to ponder something, Martin knew that whatever was decided now would affect his families future in the clan.

"Hold it !!" Another voice rang out, a voice that caused Martin to panic.
