"The importance of the election, you should all know it, right? Give me all the strength to breastfeed, let the descendants of the family also see, we are difficult to leave the strength of the Zhu family's side branches, boys, are you ready?" Zhu Zichu was quite rough, and his voice was extremely loud and hoarse, and the opening remarks were simple and direct.

"Okay!" The children of the Zhu family blushed one by one, and responded in unison, and the sound resounded over the square, shaking the snow on the sidelines.

"Okay, let me introduce to you, this is Elder Zhu Yuheng, who came from the clan specially here, is in charge of this test, and after passing the test, Elder Yuheng will also lead you to the clan in Youzhou. Everyone hurry up and see Elder Yuheng!" Zhu Zichu stood up, pointed to the black-clothed man sitting on the high platform, and introduced to everyone.

"I've seen the elders!" all the Zhu family disciples bowed, looking at the old man in black with a little curiosity.

The old man's face was wrinkled, his skin was yellow, and a pair of sword eyebrows were inserted horizontally into his temples, and the whole person looked very grim. didn't speak, just nodded slightly at Zhu Zichu.

"Now, I will start to sign up, and those who are named will go to the stone platform and be tested!" Behind Zhu Yuheng, there is also a middle-aged man, this person Zhu Bufan is very familiar with, responsible for the daily operation of Zhu Mansion, called Zhu Rong, sleek and sophisticated.

"Zhu Yunyan!" Zhu Rongxiong's voice sounded on the training ground.

As his words fell, a girl in a Luo Zi robe jumped out, her peaceful appearance revealing a hint of fierceness.

Zhu Bufan's eyesight is good now, and he can see that this woman is practicing metal exercises.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Ruyan stomped his feet lightly, and the whole person was like a flying arrow shot out.

"Okay!" Seeing Zhu Ruyan come to the stone platform so casually, everyone below erupted into a burst of high-pitched cheers.

Zhu Rong also cast an approving gaze, but the old man's eyes were slightly closed, and his face did not change at all, as if he had not seen the previous scene.

"Okay, do you see this stone wall? Don't keep it, use the internal qi of the whole body, gather it in the palm of your hand, and imprint it on this emerald ink slate. Zhu Rong instructed softly.

"Yes!" Zhu Ruyan replied in a low voice, saluting respectfully to the old man, and then raised his palm, as if he was slowly and urgently patting on the cuimo slate.

Syllable......

A clear slapping sound was heard, and it felt like it had hit the dough.

With this loud impact sound, Zhu Ruyan didn't feel much pain in her palm, and when she came into contact with the emerald ink stone, it was like slapping on a sponge, which was extremely soft, and a burst of coolness was directly imprinted in her heart through the palm.

"Late fifth order, fifteen years old, pass!"

A hoarse voice like a tug of war came from the old man's mouth.

But this hoarse voice, hearing Zhu Ruyan's ears, was as beautiful as fairy music, and his tense face showed ecstasy, and he turned over and jumped off the stone platform.

Friends who are close to Zhu Ruyan immediately stepped forward to congratulate.

"Next, Zhu Qiang!"

Zhu Qiang is a young man who cultivates fire-based exercises, and he is a low-key person, and Zhu Bufan has only heard of his name, and has never seen him.

As concocted, Zhu Qiang printed his palm on the stone slab with all his might.

"At the beginning of the ninth order, seventeen years old, unqualified!" the old man swept his eyes and said coldly.

Hearing this, Zhu Qiang was like an electric shock, the whole person, his face turned pale, his whole body trembled, the whole person jumped off the stone platform in despair, smirked madly, shook like drunk, and left the training ground, Zhu Qiang's parents hurriedly chased after him.

......

"Next, Zhu Wu!"

Zhu Wu has always been the man of the year in Zhu Mansion, different from Zhu Bufan, he has a first-class cultivation talent, Zhu Zichu is his uncle, and he loves him very much.

Zhu Wu is obviously in a first-class position, the whole person is flying like a butterfly in the air, the posture is wonderful, full of ornamentation, and from time to time he makes difficult and dangerous movements, causing everyone to exclaim.

"Hmph, flashy!"

Zhu Wu was showing off on the stone platform, but there was a dry and hoarse sound in his ears, low and slight, but in Zhu Wu's ears, it was like thunder, which shook his brain and buzzed, and the smug look instantly faded cleanly.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and prepare for the test!" Hearing the old man's displeasure, Zhu Rong hurriedly scolded, but in fact, he was secretly helping Zhu Wu.

"Yes!" Zhu Wu didn't dare to slack off, he could be said to be a gentleman, but he was definitely not the second ancestor, he was very smart, and he knew that the old man in front of him was not something he could offend.

"Fifteen years old, mid-ninth order, clear!"

Looking at the deep palm print, a glimmer of light flashed in the old man's eyes, and his tone was a little slower, obviously satisfied with Zhu Wu's performance.

......

After that, the vast majority of the more than 100 people who participated in the election were eliminated, and only 25 people passed the election.

"Elder Yuheng, this is the person who will participate in this year's election! Look at ......," Zhu Rong said respectfully to the old man.

"Oh, yes, no, is it missing someone?" the old man asked strangely, raising his eyebrows.

"Huh?" Zhu Rong looked at the book in his hand and said quickly, "Elder, no, there is no omission." ”

"Is it? What about Zhu Bufan? Isn't there such a person? Isn't he only thirteen years old, and he has the qualifications to participate in the election!" Zhu Yuheng said lightly.

The old man's voice was soft, but it rang in everyone's ears.

Hearing the old man's words, the expressions of everyone present were different, some were incredulous, some were full of disdain, some had wooden expressions, and some were thoughtful and their eyes flickered.

This sentence also sounded in Zhu Bufan's ears, Zhu Bufan's expression remained unchanged, but there were turbulent waves in his heart.

"This old man actually knows about my existence! And he shows such concern, what is going on? For more than ten years, there are still people who are paying attention to me, people who hate me, or people who care about me?"

Although Zhu Bufan thought so in his heart, he was more inclined to the former, if it was someone who cared about him, then he would not have not heard from him for more than ten years.

At this moment, the vigilance in Zhu Bufan's heart was great, and he didn't know what the purpose of those people hidden in the secret was.

Originally, a trace of anxiety caused by the great increase in strength suddenly dissipated cleanly, and Zhu Bufan began to plan to make a splash in this meeting, showing the strength of the peak of the ninth order, but the sudden appearance of this old man made Zhu Bufan dispel this idea.

Of course, the selection of Zhu Bufan is definitely not a retreat, but it is not a slight change in strategy, at most showing the strength of the fifth order or so.

"I was going to give you a big gift before, a thirteen-year-old ninth-order genius martial artist was enough to shock the entire Zhu family, and now, a thirteen-year-old fifth-order martial artist can also cause quite a stir!" Zhu Bufan thought carefully in his heart.
