Chapter 1: The Pillar of Trials
The Empire.
The only empire in the Qingtian Continent, although it is vast and rich, it is also embattled.
Demon beasts are rampant in the northwest of the empire, adjacent to the demon cave in the northeast, the wild area in the southwest, and the natural secret realm in the southeast, so that the Qingtian Empire is trapped in it.
Fortunately, the founding emperor Long Qingtian, with his strength to the sky, can lead mankind to resist the ravages of demon beasts and demons on the one hand, and expel the invasion of the Southern Barbarians on the other.
Over the years, the Empire has been practicing martial arts in order to defend the empire from the ravages of monsters, demons, and the Southern Barbarians.
With the premise of practicing martial arts, the medicine master of the Qingtian Empire is naturally extremely respected.
Xiaojiazhuang.
A small village in the western part of the Qingtian Empire, under the national government of the empire, Xiaojiazhuang is naturally no exception.
On the martial arts training ground in Xiaojiazhuang, dozens of young men and women under the age of fifteen gathered together, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on a stone pillar not far ahead.
Not far from the stone pillar stood several middle-aged people and an old man, and the middle-aged man led by him was Xiao Wanhai, the owner of Xiaojiazhuang.
"Today is the day of our annual trial in Xiaojiazhuang, and the results of your one-year cultivation will be highlighted by this stone pillar. ”
"Look, that piece of waste is here. ”
"Isn't it? It's been more than ten years, and he hasn't even reached the Juyuan Realm, which is simply a shame for our Xiaojiazhuang. ”
Although the following discussion was not loud, for Xiao Wanhai of the True Yuan Realm, he still heard it clearly and carefully.
Xiao Wanhai looked around at everyone, and finally set his eyes on a young man in rags.
Xiao Tian, the grandson of the original owner, was born unable to condense vitality, unable to become a martial artist through cultivation, and his status in the family was extremely humble.
Xiao Wanhai retracted his gaze and spoke again: "In the future, your status in Xiaojiazhuang will be subject to the results of today's trial, and you must not be careless." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Wanhai nodded to an old man beside him.
The old man walked up to the trial pillar and announced, "The trial begins!"
As the old man's voice landed, a young man closest to the stone pillar walked in front of the stone pillar.
I saw him clenching his hands into fists and striking at the trial stone pillar in front of him.
Boom!
The two fists slammed into the stone pillar, and in addition to hearing a crisp sound, two shallow fist marks were also left on the stone pillar.
"Xiao Zhan, Juyuan Realm Five Grades, next. ”
The so-called trial stone pillar is a stone pillar that has been tested and cultivated to a level.
Anyone who has reached the Gathering Yuan Realm, even if it is only one product, will be able to leave a voice on the trial stone pillar.
Only when you reach the third rank can you make the trial stone pillar vibrate, only the fifth rank can leave a fist mark, the seventh grade can leave a deep fist mark, and the ninth rank can dive your fist into the stone pillar.
Of course, as a young man under the age of fifteen, those who can reach the five grades of the Juyuan Realm are already the top qualifications, and those who reach the seventh grade can be said to be the talents of the heavens, and those who reach the ninth rank are rare.
Xiao Zhan, who was at the end of the trial, walked straight up to the young man in a basket and said, "Brother Tian, I am already a fifth grade of Juyuan Realm. ”
The young man smiled slightly, "I saw it." ”
Xiao Tian, the waste in the eyes of the Xiao family, except for this Xiao Zhan, no one wants to associate with him, as for Xiao Zhan, it is also because Xiao Tian's father once helped him, an orphan, that he will never abandon him.
Feeling Xiao Tian's depressed mood, Xiao Zhan hurriedly spoke: "Brother Tian, after you enter the Juyuan Realm through the trial, see which of them dares to laugh at you." ”
Xiao Tian smiled bitterly, no one knows himself better than himself, for so many years, no matter how hard he tries, it is a bamboo basket that is empty, and even a little bit of vitality cannot be condensed.
Fortunately, with his persistence over the years, he has endured countless trials and bumps, allowing himself to develop a strong physique, even if he has no vitality, he can also leave a crisp sound on the trial stone pillar, which is equivalent to the realm of a product in the Yuan Realm.
"Xiao Yun, Juyuan Realm Seven Grades, next. ”
Everyone looked at the Trial Stone Pillar, including Xiao Tian and Xiao Zhan.
"He has reached the seven-rank realm, and he is worthy of being the first master of our young generation in Xiaojiazhuang. ”
"Xiao Zhan, as long as you work hard, you will achieve it in the future. ”
"Brother Tian, you will definitely be able to achieve it in the future. ”
Xiao Tian still smiled bitterly, gathering the seven grades of the Yuan Realm, for himself, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Xiaojiazhuang has a rule that anyone who cannot step into the Juyuan Realm before the age of fifteen will be disqualified from cultivating, and he will not be able to step into the cultivation field for half a step in his life.
Xiao Tian will be fifteen years old in half a year, and this trial is his last chance, if he can't step into the Juyuan Realm again, he will lose everything.
This is also the reason why Xiao Tian insisted on coming to participate in the trial.
"Xiao Tian. ”
"Brother Tian, it's your turn. ”
Xiao Tian looked up at the trial stone pillar, his eyes full of determination and determination.
One-step!
Two steps!
In three steps, Xiao Tian finally came to the front of the trial stone pillar.
"Xiao Tian, you better forget it, how many times have you been here, and in which year did you succeed in the trial. ”
"That is, knowing that you are a waste, don't waste everyone's time, or consciously go back to wash clothes and grow vegetables. ”
Xiao Zhan couldn't look at it and said, "What are you talking about? Everyone is a child of the Xiao family, how can you ......?"
Before Xiao Zhan could finish speaking, a well-dressed young man interrupted: "Xiao Zhan, did they say something wrong? It's been more than ten years, if it weren't for the fact that we are all children of the Xiao family, how could we have supported him for so many years." ”
The young man who spoke was called Xiao Yushu, the son of Xiao Wanhai, the current owner, and when he said this, all the teenagers immediately agreed.
Xiao Zhan said angrily: "You wait, Brother Tian will definitely step into the Juyuan Realm." ”
"Cut, if he succeeds in the trial, I will give him a place to enter Baicheng Town. ”
"Is that true?"
When Xiao Wanhai heard his son's words, his heart suddenly tightened.
Facing Xiao Zhan's questioning, Xiao Yushu said indifferently: "Of course." ”
After Xiao Yushu finished speaking, he continued: "If he fails in the trial, I want him to kneel down and kowtow to me, and I want him to be my servant, wash clothes and cook." ”
"What Brother Tian does, I can't be the master. ”
"You stand up for him, why can't you call the shots for him, if he doesn't agree, our bet will be pulled down. ”
"I agree. ”
Xiao Tian, who was preparing for the trial, suddenly turned around and agreed to Xiao Yushu's bet, and at the same time threw Xiao Yushu an evil smile, which made Xiao Yushu's heart suddenly.
