Chapter 8: Selection
The white horse passes through the gap, and the sun flies. Just one month has passed.
On this day, in Yunyang City, the young people of the Zhong clan all received the order of the patriarch and gathered in the martial arts arena.
At this time, I saw Zhong Xinghe leading the elders of the clan and slowly walked into the martial arts arena.
Ladies and gentlemen, after this half a month, it will be the youth conference jointly organized by Tianyue City and Taihe City every five years. With this, our people are specially invited to participate.
However, among the forces that went to participate in this conference, there were the hosts of this conference, the Xiuzhen family of Tianyue City and Taihe City, "He's family, the Fu family, the Lu family, and the Jin family". Not only that, but it is said that there are also powerful cultivation forces in the secret realm, "Meilan Villa, and the Imperial City Academy" were also invited to Tianyue City to participate.
"Shh......h Those are two of the four major forces in our secret realm. I've heard that among the disciples of these two forces, there are many young people of the genius generation. It is said that among those genius boys, there are already people who have cultivated to the strength of martial arts.
"Hey, the power of a thousand catties!" the disciples gasped when they heard this.
"What are you afraid of, isn't Young Master Zhongyuan also a thousand catties of strength!" Zhong Lingshan said unconvincedly.
Sister Lingshan, what you said is right, but although the young master is the power of a thousand catties, but people have already entered the power of a thousand catties a few years ago, and what about our young master? That's half a loss in terms of time alone!
"Hmph, you're right, but I still believe in Zhong Yuan!" Zhong Lingshan continued.
"Quiet, quiet!" Everyone, this time I went to participate in the Youth Conference, the number of places is very limited, and my clan can only lead the three young disciples of the clan to participate!
Therefore, anyone under the age of fifteen can board the test platform of the martial arts arena and participate in the martial arts power test held by the family.
I don't think I have a chance, there are hundreds of disciples in my clan, I see so many people are gearing up, and they want to participate, but I only have a few dozen catties of strength, and it will be a shame for the family to go! Sister Lingshan, isn't your martial arts power already in the power of a hundred catties, you should be able to participate!
Xiao Qi, I'm not satisfied with you, I just passed my birthday last month and have entered the age of fifteen. The requirement to participate in the conference is only for teenagers under the age of fifteen, I don't know if I still have the opportunity now!
"Do you want to ask the Seventh Elder, what if you can participate?" Xiao Qi suggested.
At this time, I saw Zhong Lingshan think for a moment, and then walked out from among the many disciples.
"Seventh Elder, the disciple is now just fifteen, is it included in it, can he conduct a family selection and go to participate in the Youth Conference?"
Elder Ben has just said that anyone under the age of fifteen can board the test bench of the martial arts arena for testing, which naturally includes the age of teenagers who have just entered fifteen. If you are over 16 years old, you are no longer among the teenagers, you have already entered the ranks of the youth, and now you are just 15 years old, and you still have the opportunity to participate, but the premise is to win the top three.
"Really?" "Then thank you Seventh Elder, then I, Zhong Lingshan, will conduct the selection of the family's strength!"
"That's very good, then go to the martial arts arena and step on the test bench for testing!"
"Thank you Elder Seven!" "Little Seven, I'll go to the test first, let's see you later!"
"Sister Lingshan, during the test, you must be condensed and refreshed, and you must concentrate, otherwise it is very likely that the test result will not be as good as your mind!"
"Okay, thank you Xiao Qi for reminding me!"
Zhong Lingshan jumped onto the test bench, turned around and thanked Xiao Qi for his reminder, and her face looked unusually happy. The delicate long black hair, draped over the shoulders, smiled lightly, and the two dimples were looming on the cheeks, as lovely as a fairy.
A moment later, Zhong Lingshan came to the test bench, took a deep breath, and saw him raise his palm and hit the test bench, with a bang, I saw the pointer on the test bench turn and point to a string of numbers.
Zhong Lingshan, the power of martial arts, "Six hundred and fifty-eight catties!"
"Six hundred and fifty-eight pounds!" "Six hundred and fifty-eight, oh my God! When did Ling Shan become so strong? Elder Tianyi, isn't this Ling Shan your daughter?" Zhong Xinghe asked in surprise.
"Patriarch, Ling Shan is the little girl in the family!"
"Not bad, not bad!" It seems that Ling Shan will be able to enter a thousand catties in a few years, or even ten thousand catties, and he will definitely be expected to break through the refining of qi at that time, but the strength of my clan will also improve.
"Thank you for the patriarch's fallacy, I hope that the little girl can enter the qi refining as soon as possible as the patriarch said, and when the time comes, she will definitely make the necessary contributions to the family!"
Just then, another flurry of numbers appeared on the test bench.
Zhong Zhiming, the power of martial arts, "Two hundred and thirty-two catties!"
Zhong Hongbo, the power of martial arts, "Three hundred and seventy catties!"
Zhong Shengyuan, the power of martial arts, "Forty catties ......!"
The Seven Elders who recorded the power of martial arts were still a little unsure, thinking that they had read it wrong, or that they had reported the wrong number, and then looked at it again, and it was indeed "the power of forty catties", so he shook his head and sighed.
"Next!"
"Huh...... , Brother Sheng Yuan, can you really do it, just forty catties of strength, are you embarrassed to go on stage to test?" As soon as Zhong Shengyuan stepped off the stage, he was surrounded by a group of Zhong disciples, and everyone was ridiculing and ridiculing him.
"Why, can't you test the strength of forty catties? Who stipulated it!" Zhong Shengyuan did not shy away from it, and walked towards the back of the crowd with a swagger.
"Outside, I said, Elder Zhong Ming, isn't this Sheng Yuan your child?" How come you have only cultivated to forty jin now? The Seventh Elder turned to Elder Zhong Ming, who was watching the selection, and asked.
Ahem...... When Elder Zhong Ming heard this, he almost fell off his seat, and hurriedly coughed a few times, his face was extremely red, and he did not respond to the interrogation of the Seventh Elder, but at this time, with a sharp gaze, he constantly locked Zhong Shengyuan in the crowd.
"You kid is waiting for me, so embarrassing to Lao Tzu, look at how I teach you a lesson after I go back!"
At this time, on the martial arts arena, a disciple of the Zhong clan looked at Zhong Sheng's distant back, and said, "I'll go, Brother Sheng Yuan's indifferent appearance is really cheeky, it's really admirable!"
The cacophony of chatter came again. At this time, a long-awaited figure appeared on the test bench, and Zhong Yuan finally stepped onto the test bench.
"Look, it's Young Master Zhong Yuan, Young Master Zhong Yuan has started the test!"
I don't know who shouted, and all the disciples who were talking and noisy hurriedly turned around and looked at the test bench in front of them.
Everyone's expressions were extremely excited and nervous, looking at Zhong Yuan standing on the test bench at the moment, everyone didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Zhong Yuan's test.
Just listened, boom, there was a roar on the test bench, and the many disciples who were watching were shocked by a burst of tinnitus.
Zhong Yuan, the power of martial arts, "four ......, four thousand, four thousand nine hundred and ninety catties"!
The Seventh Elder who recorded it was taken aback, thinking that he had misread it again, so he hurriedly leaned over again to glance at the strength pointer on the test bench. I found that the pointer was indeed pointing to "four thousand nine hundred and ninety catties"! Then he excitedly spoke again, "Young Master Zhongyuan, the power of martial arts, "four thousand nine hundred and ninety catties"!
When the Seven Elders once again reported Zhong Yuan's martial arts power, the scene suddenly fell into silence, and everyone looked at the incredible Zhong Yuan with surprised eyes.
I don't know who said a word first, and everyone reacted from surprise, and suddenly the pot exploded on the martial arts field, and there was a burst of laughter.
Congratulations to the patriarch, congratulations to the patriarch! The young master has today's martial arts cultivation at such an age, and the young master has already cultivated the power of martial arts to the power of four thousand jin out of a thousand catties. This distance from the power of 5,000 catties is only 10 catties away. The young master really got the true inheritance of the patriarch. This talent, I'm afraid, is slightly better than the patriarch back then!" Elder Tianyi kept praising him.
"Hahaha! Elder Tianyi, rejoice and rejoice. Isn't your Lingshan also good, in the future, Yuan'er and Lingshan will be the hope of our clan, so we should rejoice and congratulate together. Zhong Xinghe smiled heartily.
"This is bad, this is bad!" How can Lingshan of our family be compared to the young master. The young master's current cultivation has reached the power of four thousand catties, and my Lingshan is still hovering around the power of one hundred catties, how can this be compared with the young master!
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. When this conference is over, let Ling Shan and Zhong Yuan practice together, so that the two of them can also have some exchanges in martial arts cultivation, and I can also teach them personally on their side and give them some advice and suggestions.
When Elder Tianyi heard this, this was the patriarch's intention to promote Ling Shan, and if the patriarch personally taught him, it would be much stronger than his father, who had only cultivated in the Qi refining period.
"Thank you, Patriarch!"
Brother Tianyi, what is there to thank for, you and I belong to the same lineage, and this Lingshan is also our children, and the eldest brother is willing to teach Lingshan in person, it is also deserved! Zhong Xingde said with a smile on the side.
Zhong Xingde, Zhong Xinghe's younger brother, Zhong Yuan's second uncle, this person is in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, his personality is relatively cheerful on weekdays, and he is familiar with everyone he sees, and among all the elders of the Zhong family, he is considered an outspoken and frank person.
"What the second elder said is extremely true, I am a little out of sight!"
Elder Tianyi, the second brother is right. You and I belong to the same lineage, and this Lingshan still wants to ask me to call me uncle, I think after this conference, let Lingshan move over and live in Lingwei's other courtyard!
"Lingshan can live under the same roof as his wife, which can be regarded as the blessing of Lingshan's little girl, then thank the patriarch first!"
"Look at you, don't you see you again, and say thank you!" Zhong Xingde reminded again.
"Yes, yes, it's the fault of the next one!"
"Alas, forget it, I won't tell you, let's keep watching!" Zhong Xingde is really a frank person, he didn't say anything more, turned around and looked at the test bench.
