As one of the well-known high-level sects in the Fengming Empire, Lingxiao Pavilion is a holy place in the hearts of almost all people, as long as you can further study from Lingxiao Pavilion, the future future is almost a good one, not only can you return to your hometown with joy, but also will be a figure that everyone worships.

And their enrollment does not focus on your status, but on the strength and cultivation talent you have. As long as your talent and strength are not enough, it will always be difficult to step into the gate of Lingxiao Pavilion for half a step. Driven by this strict and fair atmosphere, when Tianxiang City approaches this period every five years, it is much more lively than the usual festivals and temple fairs, and everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the enrollment team.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the first round of trials organized by Lingxiao Pavilion, and it is estimated that there are already quite a few participants.

Walking slowly on the quiet path, looking at the Xu family, which was suddenly empty with many people, Xu Yichen shook his head helplessly, almost everyone in the family went to watch the first round of the trials, according to this calculation, the competition venue at this time may have already been crowded with onlookers.

"It seems that everyone is quite interested in this selection," Qingying couldn't help but smile

"It's normal, after all, Ling Xiao Pavilion is the strongest sect in the Fengming Empire except for the royal family, and it only enrolls students once every five years, so everyone wants to go and see what is going on," Xu Yichen explained when he saw this

"It's a pity that when they arrived the day before yesterday, it was just in time for me to break through the critical juncture of the fourth-grade battle division in retreat, and it was a pity that I couldn't see them with my own eyes, alas" Qingying shook her head and sighed a little

"It's okay, you'll be able to see them later."

"You're right, let's hurry over and sign up."

"Row"

......

On the huge square, there was a commotion everywhere, and I saw countless young people lining up in an orderly manner, waiting for the cultivation level test through the central blue crystal, if it weren't for the army sent by the royal family at the edge of the square to maintain order here, I'm afraid these crowds would have rushed in desperately.

The two pairs of eyes looked at the queue more than ten meters long, Xu Yichen and Qing Ying were both stunned by this scene at the moment, and after a while, Qing Ying sighed softly, and shook her head with a depressed face, looking at this situation, don't want to participate in the selection competition today.

"It seems that we are a little late today," Qingying looked at Xu Yichen and said helplessly

"Well, let's go home, come over early tomorrow to participate in the preliminary round, anyway, there are two days in the preliminary round," Looking at the crowd of people, Xu Yichen had no choice but to speak

"Young Master Xu, right?In accordance with Senior Sister Ling Yun's entrustment, I hereby wait for you here for a long time, please come here with me."

"Huh, okay, thank you."

Seeing a young man who suddenly appeared in front of him wearing the same sect costume as Ling Yun, Xu Yichen hurriedly thanked him respectfully

"Oh, it looks like I can still participate in the preliminary round today" Qing Ying straightened her nose, changed her previous depressed look, and said with a smile

The two followed the boy around the huge square for almost half a circle, and finally stopped at the southern part of the square, which was already at the back of the square, where heavily armed royal troops stood in several rows to guard the place

Taking out a fiery red token from his bag bracelet, the young man who led the way talked softly with the commander of the royal guard for a while, then turned around and waved at Xu Yichen and the others, signaling them to keep up with him

"Release"

With a wave of his palm, his gaze quickly swept over the three of them with a hint of gloom, and the middle-aged man shouted loudly

Hearing the middle-aged man's shout, the ironclad wall that guarded the buildings behind him in several rows suddenly sounded the sound of the armor on his body colliding with each other, and the sound of heavy footsteps continued to trample on the ground, and a few seconds later, a path between the teams that was just enough for people to pass appeared in Xu Yichen's field of vision.

Following the young man, Xu Yichen and Qing Ying walked into the tall building

"You're here, sit down and rest for a while."

His eyes stayed on the dense paper written on the wooden table, the brush he held in his right hand was still writing, Ling Yun said without raising his head, and there were still a few Ling Xiao Pavilion disciples around him who were busy cleaning up other things

"Okay, Sister Ling Yun, you are busy first" After the two said this sentence in unison, Xu Yichen smiled slightly, and then found an empty seat and sat down, and Qing Ying also sat next to him

"Senior Sister Ling Yun, this is a new list, please take a look," a girl hurriedly ran over with a small pile of materials and said

"You don't need to look at it, you can divide the information between the ages of sixteen and seventeen to me according to age, and hand over the rest of the age to those who are in charge," Ling Yun said casually with a wave of his hand

"Okay, I'll get you now"

After placing some of these materials on Ling Yun's wooden table, the girl went on to get busy with other things

After casually flipping through the materials sent over, Ling Yun thought for a while and then said to the two people sitting down, "Are you ready to participate in the preliminary selection?"

"We've been ready for a long time, but don't the two of us have to go through the blue crystal in the center to measure the cultivation level?" asked Xu Yichen

"No, I already know your cultivation strength. Now let's go directly to the second test, Xu Yichen, you come with me, Qingying needs to walk with Mo Yang who is in charge of her age next to me, because you are different in age segments, so you will compete in different venues."

"Okay......"

......

After saying goodbye to Qing Ying, Xu Yichen followed Ling Yun to a trial hall, which was already quite boiling, and at a glance, there were quite a lot of people.

"I heard that Xu Yichen will also come to participate in this competition."

"Yes, this time I was able to see his strength in person, and I didn't have enough fun watching it on the day of the last coming-of-age ceremony."

"The genius boy who is quite famous in Tianxiang City doesn't know what his strength will be"

"Don't say it, don't say it, he's coming"

......

The Xu family is in Tianxiang City, although it is not a top-level force, but it also has some weight, so there are many distinguished guests who come to watch this competition, firstly, to make a relationship, and secondly, to take the opportunity to see the ability of the younger generation of the Xu family, after all, for this kind of family, excellent fresh blood is extremely important.

If these younger generations are all people with extremely poor cultivation strength, then it is only a matter of time before this family gradually declines.

Although it was not the first time he had seen this kind of scene, Xu Yichen's heart was still very nervous, after all, this time, he wanted to show his true strength in front of many people.

At this moment, in the VIP seat of the trial hall, there were already many people sitting, laughing and talking with each other.

In the center of the VIP seat, a slightly lean middle-aged man was talking and laughing with a few guests around him who seemed to have some status in Tianxiang City with a smile, and while laughing, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Yichen, and he was stunned for a moment, and then his brows wrinkled without a trace.

The second elder of the Xiao family - Xiao Qing, Xiao Shan's father

"Sure enough, Xiao Shan also came to participate in the preliminary round."

Xu Yichen shook his head indifferently, and just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the gate, where a large group of people poured in, and at the head of the crowd was a middle-aged man with a greasy face, the man was dressed in a brocade shirt, giving people a rather tough feeling, and his eyes were swept away, but there was some majesty.

"Father?"
