Chapter 33: Rite of Passage
A few days later, the Mongolian Square was once again flooded with people. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Because today there will be a very grand ceremony for the entire Meng family, a coming-of-age ceremony. All adults under the age of 20 and over the age of 14 in the Montessori family are eligible to participate, and the similarity with the last clan meeting is that some young people will also take the spiritual cultivation test today. The difference from the last time is that this time the test is only for the younger generation of the adult family, and the test is no longer the main content and highlight of this event.
The most anticipated thing is the coming-of-age ceremony, where members of the clan can challenge and learn from each other. After all, although the level of cultivation mainly shows the strength of a person's cultivation, it does not represent the whole strength.
Only through competition and battle can a person's true combat power be tested, which can also allow the family to better discover some special talents in order to focus on training. In previous coming-of-age ceremonies, it is not without cases of low-level cultivators defeating high-level cultivators, and there are often dark horses waiting to shine in front of all the clansmen today, but this kind of person is too rare.
At the same time, unlike the clan guild, the three people who performed best in this ceremony will be allowed to enter the treasure hall to choose a magic weapon, and the magic weapon will not need to be returned like exercises and treasures, but will be held as a personal item forever. This is also why only the top three can have such qualifications, after all, magic weapons are relatively scarce, and if one is taken away, one is one less. Many of the young people who have cultivated to be strong will come to this ceremony with the intention of coveting the magic weapon, and will send some challenges to prove themselves. Although magic weapons are not relied on by most strong people, after all, sometimes a good magic weapon can often bring an unexpected increase in a monk's combat power.
The huge stone platform in the center of the square was surrounded by a crowd of people, and the figure of a teenager appeared, slowly walking into a corner of the crowd, without attracting much attention from the noisy crowd. When Meng Yu came back this time, except for the initial meeting with Meng Hu and Meng Na and others, he had been cultivating in the back mountain for the past few days, which was also the norm he had always thought.
It was not until today that the boy came to the square to attend the Meng family's important coming-of-age ceremony, which was also the first time he participated. Seeing that the elder was already standing on the stage and the clansmen had already entered the atmosphere, he didn't want to attract the attention of the clansmen, so he quietly blended into the sea of people. After a short time, the members who participated in the ceremony and the onlookers were almost there, and the gray-robed elder who presided over the clan meeting last time stood on the stone platform and reappeared in people's sight.
The commotion stopped with the appearance of the old man and his gestures, and the old man looked at the people, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Hello everyone! Let's enter the first part, the display of spiritual power, if anyone thinks they have made progress during this time, please take the stage independently to take the spiritual power test. After speaking, the old man stepped aside and waited for someone to come.
Different from the test during the clan meeting, although the first part of the coming-of-age ceremony is also a test of spiritual power, it will not be ranked by name, but all adults under the age of 20 will take the stage independently. Although the test had just been completed at the clan meeting more than a month ago, not long after the elder finished speaking, one after another, clansmen came to the stage to test the jade tablet. Of course, most of them would not have achieved a level improvement in such a short period of time, the reason why they went up was because they felt that their cultivation was quite beautiful among their peers and wanted to show their faces, and secondly, some people felt that their cultivation measured at the clan meeting seemed to be lower, and they felt that they should confirm it.
However, there are also very few people who have made breakthroughs, after all, there are so many people who are catching up with this period of time to enter the critical point of breakthrough. And for those who participate in the test, whether it is progress or spiritual power is confirmed to remain unchanged, there will also be clansmen who will register again. For this kind of test, Meng Yu was not interested, he was no longer a waste, and he didn't want to be in the limelight anymore, so he didn't think of making it public that he was already a sixth-order cultivator. Because according to the cultivation level determined by the clan association, he has just obtained the top three, and obtaining a magic weapon is his goal.
Since the people who participated in the test this time were all adults, and it was not excluded that people had the same thoughts as Meng Yu, there were many fewer people who participated in the test than during the clan meeting. Soon, no one took the stage again, and after a while, the gray-robed elder saw that no one came to test his spiritual power, so he came to the center of the stone platform again.
He stroked his beard and nodded: "Yes, in such a short period of time, I have seen that many people have made progress. It's good to be young, the old man is a little envious of you, let's move on to the second item. If anyone thinks they're extraordinary, take the stage and choose an opponent to challenge. Anyone who meets the challenge conditions, if you defeat an opponent who is stronger than your own cultivation, then you will replace his ranking, not only to get scenery, but also to get rewards, let's start!"
Meng Yu didn't have much affection for the old man, and listening to his words at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little high-sounding and fake, so he just glanced at it silently. However, the young man had a hunch that if he wanted to obtain the qualification to select the magic weapon, he might not be so smooth, because in the test just now, another teenager broke through to the fifth order of the Yun Spirit Realm, so that in addition to Meng Xuan, the first person in the same generation, there were three people who were all cultivators of the fifth order of the Yun Spirit Realm, of course, the others did not know that Meng Yu was already a sixth-order cultivator of the Yun Spirit Realm at this time.
As the old man finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief calm. But it didn't take long for a young man in a black robe to walk up and break the peace. This young man was fifteen years old, his name was Meng Li, and his cultivation had just reached the fifth order of the Yunling Realm. As soon as the boy stepped onto the stage, there was a discussion in the crowd. For some reason, after some looks, many people discovered Meng Yu's location and set their eyes on him.
"Who do you say, he will challenge?"
After all, Meng Hu and Meng Yu are all at the fifth order of the Yunling Realm, and only two of them can be qualified to enter the Treasure Hall to select magic weapons, and although that Meng Yu has the same cultivation, after all, the background is the weakest, so he should not have much strength. ”
"What else do you need to estimate! It must be, I don't know how that kid's cultivation came up, I think there must be moisture, otherwise why didn't he retest this time, I think I'm afraid of wearing it." ”
"Yes, if Meng Li hadn't gone up first, I would have challenged him in the fourth order, although it was not my turn to choose a magic weapon in the end, but it would be good to improve my ranking. ”
Although the Mengyu clan will be tested, and the cultivation is already quite extraordinary, it is obviously difficult for most people to accept this fact, they always feel that it is not true, even if it is, then it is impossible for him to have the combat power to match the cultivation. Although they were no longer as flamboyant as before, and the discussion was not very loud, some of them were still listened to by Meng Yu. The young man's face was expressionless, but there was a sneer in his heart, and he said secretly: Wait and see, I will shut you up soon.
Sure enough, the black-robed young man first bowed down and clenched his fists at the gray-robed elder, then turned to the crowd and said, "What I want to challenge is, Meng Yu!"
