Chapter 1207: New Year's Sacrifice
This little farce does not affect the normal course of the New Year's festival, and after the feast, the real highlight begins. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This is also a kind of healthy competition in the clan in order to urge the younger generation to cultivate, and at the end of the year every year.
In the center of the training ground, there is a stone platform with a diameter of one meter more than usual, and if you look closely, you will find that the stone platform is covered with spell marks carved with soul power, which is the so-called soul measuring stone.
Chen Lao stood in the center, cleared his throat, and said in a voice like a bell: "The usual practice is the same, in the order of the eldest and youngest, Chen Zhen, it is rare to go home this time, so you will start first." β
Chen Zhen arched his hand to the elders around him and stepped forward with a smile.
The soul stone suddenly shone brightly, and the soul power charms floated into the air one after another, combining into a new pattern, a well-known soul power level mark for soul masters.
"Awakening Realm, Five Stars; Martial Soul, three. β
"Wow...... It's a real five-star soul master, how far away is the awakening realm...... It's so strong! The first person of the younger generation in the clan, sure enough, there was no one else except Chen Zhen. After the silence, the surrounding teenagers all swallowed their saliva involuntarily, their eyes full of awe.
The next to go up were a few teenagers of the same age as Chen Zhen, who were six stars in the Qi Ventilation Realm and two four stars in the Qi Ventilation Realm, with weak potential values......
"Next, Chen An'an."
Chen Anan ran out of the crowd quickly, with a healthy complexion and delicate facial features, although it was not stunning, it gave people a feeling of vitality and comfort. She was in the prime of her cardamom years, and as soon as she appeared, she immediately became the focus of the audience.
She took a deep breath and stepped on the Soul Stone.
"Condense soul power."
One after another, the spells lit up......
"Qi Tong Realm, Eight Stars; Potential, medium. β
There was a sigh of admiration from the crowd, it is worthy of the bloodline of the Zong family, there is such an achievement at the age of seventeen, and it will be three years in the future. It's not hopeless to awaken the martial soul at the level, it depends on how many you can awaken.
This awakening martial soul is generally the greatest hope before the age of twenty, and after the age of twenty, the hope in the future is very slim, unless there is any panacea or opportunity. Otherwise, it is doomed to a mediocre life.
In the eyes of an experienced person like Chen Lao, although Chen An'an does not let her eyebrows go, her achievements are destined to be one step away from the soul master, but just this step has also become a gap for countless people to become soul masters.
β¦β¦
"Next, Chen Hong."
Chen Hong made a neat front flip and landed firmly on the stage.
"Qi Passage Realm, Seven Stars; Potential, extremely high. β
Hearing Elder Chen report his results, a smug smile appeared on the young man's face......
There was a commotion in the crowd, and the potential was extremely high! Back then, Chen Zhen awakened three martial spirits. The potential value has never reached "extremely high", which shows that Chen Hong's qualifications are still above Chen Zhen.
"Hong'er is fourteen this year, right?" Old Madam Chen, who was sitting in a chair, asked.
"Just turned fourteen." Chen Changxiao leaned over his mother's ear and replied.
Old Madam Chen's wrinkled face was full of smiles, and she nodded, "It looks like another powerful soul master can be produced!" Isn't there a child with good talent in the split family, bring it back and let him practice with Hong'er, the child has a competitor, and he grows up fast. β
"What my mother said is that he is the one who is on stage now."
Between conversations. On the field, Chen Lao happened to call the name "Chen Li".
"Qi Passage Realm, Seven Stars; Potential, extremely high. β
Another "extremely high" potential value was heard, and there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd. Especially the younger generation of the split family. That smug! They are saying that the halo does not always belong to the sect family, and there are talents in the family.
Chen was less than six stars from last year, and this year he suddenly soared to the same level as himself...... In the crowd, Chen Hong frowned, and a hint of jealousy flashed on his face.
"This year. Everyone has worked very hard, and they have all achieved good results in cultivation, so ......"
Chen Lao smiled and began to make a concluding speech, when he suddenly heard a slightly childish voice.
"Wait. And I haven't tested it yet. β
Looking at the young man in the green shirt standing in the field with his hands in his hands, the scene was silent for a moment, and they all turned their heads and ears.
"Didn't you say he didn't dare to go up?"
"Hmph, it's embarrassing for him to go up."
"Haha, if he doesn't go up, he's a grandson, and if he goes up, he's a fool, how do you choose?!"
With that, several teenagers burst into laughter.
Unlike other people who were waiting to belittle and ridicule Chen Mo, Chen Anan held his hands in front of his chest, with an expression of waiting to see a good show; Chen Zhen looked thoughtful.
"Isn't that Mo'er...... How did he end up here? Old Madam Chen asked.
"It's really Mo'er." Chen Changqing frowned and wanted to get up.
"Uncle, you just let Xiao Mo decide for himself, anyway, the soul stone is not dangerous, and isolating him all the time is not good for his growth!" Chen Anan leaned over and said.
Chen Changqing sighed lightly and sat back in his seat, Junhua gently put his hand on her husband's shoulder, and her eyes could not hide a trace of worry. Chen Changqing patted his wife's hand and gave her a look of encouragement.
"Do you really want to test your soul power?" Chen Lao bent down and whispered worriedly: "Xiao Mo, it's a very embarrassing thing to not have a star, and in front of so many people. β
Chen Lao's worries are not unreasonable, many people in the clan Chen Mo have not seen it, although it is said that his physique is not suitable for cultivating martial souls, everyone can understand it, but the real situation everyone will definitely look down on Chen Mo. The current society is like this, the strong are respected, and only the strong will be respected and admired.
Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Don't worry, Grandpa Chen, I will give you a surprise." β
This is the first time that Chen Mo is ready to show a complete version of himself in front of his family, and he is also telling them what kind of road he will take.
Chen Lao had no choice but to stand aside and watch Chen Mo walk up to the stone platform step by step with his head held high.
1st Ring, 2nd Ring, 3rd Ring......
With the spell that lit up in the ring, everyone's eyes widened and widened, and they could hardly believe their eyes. Even Old Madam Chen, who had always been calm, was a little nervous, and Chen Mo's father, Chen Changqing, was flushed.
"Qi Passage Realm, Seven Stars; Potential, extreme ......"
The whole venue was silent for a long time, everyone waited with bated breath, only to see Chen Lao rubbing his temples. Rubbing his eyes again, he checked the Soul Measuring Stone Charm again...... Just don't speak.
"Extremely, extremely what? I'm dying. β
"If you think about it with your toes, it must be extremely low!" Chen Hong snorted.
"Maybe it's extremely high?" Chen Li said coldly.
"Cut, if that kid is extremely tall, I'll walk back backwards today." Chen Hong squeezed his eyes and said.
"Potential, unknown!" When he said this, even Chen Lao himself felt a little confused.
Suddenly there was a cacophony. Chen Hong almost laughed. "Haha...... Unknown! Hear me, it's not very high, it's not even very low. What about the Qi Tong Seven Stars, maybe even half of the martial soul can't be awakened. β
Most people shook their heads and sighed, what about high soul power, potential is the most important thing, it's a pity......
But Old Chen's expression was obviously not like that, and his old man's face, which had always been unwavering, was still very excited.
What's even stranger is Mrs. Chen. Suddenly announced a meeting to discuss important matters, without saying a word, he hurriedly left with Chen Changqing, Chen Changxiao, Chen Lao and other elders of the clan, and even Chen Zhen was called. Put a large number of people here in the training ground. The upcoming session of the competition had to be postponed until tomorrow.
Not again!
For this kind of naΓ―ve, childish cynicism and fingering, Chen Mo was used to it, and left the cultivation ground without smiling.
"How can it be 'unknown'?" The more Chen Mo thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he was quite confident in himself. Abundant soul power, evolved strong physique. The transformed cell tissue with super regenerative ability has so many excellent conditions, even if the potential value is not extremely high, it will not be so shocking!
In fact, the competition is secondary, and Chen Mo wants to leave here even more. According to Chen Mo's cultivation progress, he should be able to recover his level on the way. Then awaken the martial soul, according to the last experience, this awakening, there will be at least seven martial souls. Try to think about it, the soul master of the seven martial souls. Combined with the mysterious life plant, the 'Qianling Soul Devouring Flower', as long as you don't go deep into the soul beast's lair, there will definitely not be much danger to your life. β
Chen Mo knows that only by going through the trials and tribulations of life and death and having a strong heart can he become a real strongman.
"Huh?" Chen Mo'er moved, and heard a sound of chatter outside the door.
"Mo'er, have you slept?"
It was the voice of his mother Junhua, Chen Mo hurriedly got up and opened the door, only to see five people standing outside the door, led by Mrs. Chen. Among these five people, except for Chen Changqing and his wife, the other three are all elders.
"I haven't slept yet, Dad, Mother, Grandma, Grandpa Chen, Third Grandpa, why are you all here?" Let everyone in, and there were five more people at once, and the small room became more and more cramped.
"Haha, my good son." Chen Changqing hugged his son and said excitedly: "You little bastard, you are hiding so deeply, it's really surprising to be a father." β
"I only occasionally found that I could absorb soul power, so I cultivated like this, and my father didn't ask me." Chen Mo smiled, turned his head and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter, it's so late, you still run it yourself?" β
"Mer, Grandma knows that there are a lot of people laughing at you today." Old Madam Chen touched Chen Mo's head, her eyes were full of love, "That's because they can't understand what the potential value 'unknown' represents." β
Old Madam Chen took Chen Mo's little hand, "Grandma told you this, more than three hundred years ago, there was a genius in the Yan Domain, that is, the potential value was 'unknown', when he awakened the martial soul, eight martial souls appeared!" β
Chen Mo blinked, "Grandma means that I am also possible?" β
Old Madam Chen smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I can't be sure, but I have great hope." Zhen'er has already informed his master of this matter, and Jialan City will send someone to pick you up in the next few days. β
In fact, Chen Mo was the happiest to be able to cultivate, Chen Zhen was the happiest, he didn't stop, and he sent a letter of recommendation to Jialan City in a hurry.
"Garland City?" Isn't that the little girl's territory! In Jianbaolou, she couldn't do anything about herself, but this time it was her family who forced him to go, and Chen Mo seemed to see Lan Ziyue's smug little face.
Chen Mo frowned slightly, "Grandma, the threshold of this Jialan City is extremely high, and it costs fifty gold sword coins to sign up for one person, which is not counting other expenses, and if the elite who enters the door is over eighteen years old, those whose martial souls have not awakened, or those who have not awakened in the number of three, will be expelled from Jialan City immediately." This large amount of knife coins is in vain. β
"Xiao Mo'er really knows a lot, don't worry, if your potential value is really unknown, Jialan City said that fifty gold knife coins are exempt." Old Madam Chen said with a smile, "We have already discussed, your talent cannot be buried, and only by going to Jialan City can you have a better future." β
Back then, Chen Zhen was the eldest grandson, and the clan made up fifty gold knife coins and sent him to Jialan City. Chen Zhen was also very competitive, and his martial soul awakened at the age of twelve. Although there are only three martial souls, the speed of cultivation is so fast that it can be said that the future is immeasurable. And with great luck, he soon succeeded in worshipping under a Heavenly Soul Master in Jialan City. Even walking on the ground seems to have a special face.
In the eyes of the clansmen, Chen Zhen is successful, Chen Mo should strive for him as his goal, and now go to Jialan City, maybe he will have the opportunity to worship the elder, who is a master at the level of the Soul King, as a teacher.
"Mo'er, my mother can't bear you, but it's all for your good, I believe in my mother." Junhua hugged his son, tears rolling in his eyes.
Chen Changqing patted his wife on the shoulder, "Our son will always grow up, and he will always be the ...... who will leave us."
Junhua hugged Chen Mo tightly, "There are still a few days left, Mo'er will tell her mother what she wants to eat, and her mother will cook it for you herself......"
"Dad, mother, grandma!" Chen Mo broke free from Junhua's embrace, looked at everyone and said, "I plan to leave home, but I don't want to go to Jialan City." β
Chen Mo's abrupt refusal surprised everyone, this matter was just a discussion between their parents, and they didn't ask Chen Mo's opinion from beginning to end, according to the ancient precepts, the children must follow the road paved by the elders in the family, if they don't follow, they are disobedient to their elders and unfilial! Moreover, how can an eight-year-old child be in charge of life events!
But Chen Mo doesn't care so much, he is not a person of this era in his bones.
"I don't want to go to Garland, at least not now!" Chen Mo said it again clearly.
"Jialan City is the closest major sect to Jiajun, and it is ranked in the entire Fuzhou, when you get there, you can learn rare high-level soul skills, you can get the cultivation experience of your predecessors, and according to your contribution to the sect, you can also provide a steady supply of materials, which are not available to meet you at home." Mrs. Chen painstakingly gave Chen Mo a clear stakes.
"Why do you have to go to Garland?" Chen Mo frowned, he really wanted to obey his parents' arrangement, but some things were not necessarily right for them. Going to Garland now is just a waste of time for him.
Chen Changqing's face was slightly gloomy, "The words have been made very clear to you, if you want to get ahead, you have to enter Jialan City!" Where are you going to go if you don't go to Garland City? β
Chen Mo suddenly became angry, he couldn't say that he planned to go to the Doomsday Canyon to hunt soul beasts, the old man definitely didn't say a word.
"Mother, I don't want to go to Jialan City." Seeing this, Chen Mo had no choice but to pull Junhua's sleeve and be coquettish.
Junhua was also reluctant, and couldn't help but say: "Mo'er is only eight years old this year, why don't you go again in two years?" β
Old Madam Chen sighed, "There are many mothers who have lost their children, you parents have to think about your son's future!" β
Chen Changqing said: "My mother is right, what does he know about a little baby, and this decision we made is also for his good, so he has to do it." The famous family that has been inherited by others for hundreds of years, let him go, what does he have to be wronged? β
"If I don't go, none of you can force me."
Chen Changqing laughed angrily, "Okay, good, you have grown up, your wings are stiff, and you can fly, right?" Ignore us anymore? β
Old Chen frowned, "Changqing, talk to the child." β
Mrs. Chen also said: "Mo'er, when you grow up, you will understand, grandma's decision today, everything is for your good." β
"Mother, let's go." Chen Changqing helped Mrs. Chen up, and said solemnly: "If he Chen Mo dares not to go to Jialan City, don't recognize me as a father!" (To be continued.) )
