Three days passed in a flash, and the Xiao family's annual family competition finally began.

Every year, the family Dabi will be placed before the wax sacrifice. In other words, after the family competition, it is the New Year. This was supposed to be a festive day, but Xiao Feng was not happy at all. Because he got a message from his grandfather that Xiao Bai will not be coming back this year.

Not only did Xiao Bai not come back, but even Xiao Heng didn't come back. Xiao Feng clearly remembered that more than four months ago, he sent Xiao Bai and his son away from Xiao Feng, and Xiao Heng was still looking forward to talking about the family competition when he came back to have a good competition with him, but now they have not returned.

Xiao Feng walked out of the small courtyard in a depressed mood and walked towards the Yanwu Academy.

After three days of preparation, the entire Xiao Mansion was in a festive color, with red lanterns hanging high, various flowers placed in conspicuous places, and various buildings in the annex also taking on a new look.

The theater was very lively, and more than 100 teenagers and girls of the same age as Xiao Feng gathered together. Originally, there were not so many children of the Xiao family in the Xiao Mansion, but in the annual family competition, some children of the side branches would also rush back to the Xiao Mansion for the family competition. They were gathering in groups and talking enthusiastically.

"Who will come out on top this year?"

"Do you still need to ask? It must be Brother Xiao Lan. He's been number one for the past two years, and who else do you think can beat him?"

"This is also true, Xiao Lan has already reached the low-level spirit master, how can we compare?"

"Not necessarily, I heard that this year's family competition has a new low-level spirit master. ”

"Are you stupid, Brother Xiao Lan reached a low-level spirit master two years ago, how can a new low-level spirit master compare to him?"

"Isn't it?"

"Look, Big Brother Xiao Lan is here!"

Just when Xiao Lan was discussing here, Xiao Lan walked into the martial arts academy from outside, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and many family members immediately rushed over and surrounded him, chattering non-stop.

At that moment, a low cheer rang out.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

It was Xiao Jun who spoke, and as soon as he entered the Yanwu Academy, he saw these family members surrounding Xiao Lan, and his face immediately showed a trace of displeasure.

This low shout sounded, and the children of the surrounding families immediately moved out of the way.

There are only two factions in the Xiao family, and everyone else revolves around these two factions. One is on Xiao Jingtai's side, and the other is Xiao Jinghuan's side. No matter which line they are, they are all lineage, and the other collateral branches are simply unable to fight against these two lines. This also caused Xiao Jun to treat these people as if they were slaves, and he didn't have a good face at all. Especially when he saw Xiao Lan from another line, he would not have a good face.

When Xiao Jun appeared, a group of people immediately surrounded him, asking long and short questions, chattering endlessly. Xiao Jun enjoyed this feeling of the stars and the moon very much, he held his chest and strode inside.

Suddenly, Xiao Jun's eyes caught a glimpse of a person, it was Xiao Feng who was alone in the corner of the courtyard, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his left hand hurriedly pressed his right hand, as if he was afraid that his right hand would rush out. Then, as if comforting his right hand, he whispered, "Don't worry, wait, I'll let you drink its flesh." ”

Just when Xiao Jun was so out of shape, the children of the family who surrounded him looked at him one after another, and when they saw Xiao Feng, they immediately spat at the mouth, belittled Xiao Feng in front of Xiao Jun, and wanted to trample Xiao Feng under his feet to insult him. Xiao Jun, who said something vague, was in a great mood, and he smiled and walked to the side.

Xiao Feng didn't care about the people around him at all, he yawned, leaned against a big tree with a sullen expression, and closed his eyes slightly. If it weren't for Xiao Jingtai's special instructions for him to participate, he would really give up participating in this big competition because Xiao Bai didn't come back.

According to his words, who is an actor who has no audience to play? For him, Xiao Bai is his audience, Xiao Bai did not come back, and he immediately lost interest in the family Dabi.

Although he closed his eyes, the sound of chattering around him was constantly coming to his ears. He wanted to cast a dream spell on himself, but it was a pity that it didn't work for him, otherwise he would have slept here first.

"Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"This year's Dabi, the Supreme Elder will come. ”

"When won't Elder Taishang come?"

"You're going to have to let me finish my sentence. It seems that Elder Taishang is going to announce the news of his acceptance of disciples this year. ”

"Are you saying that Elder Taishang is going to take in apprentices? If I had known that Elder Taishang was going to accept disciples, I would have cultivated well at home. ”

This is a world where strength speaks, all families advocate force, and the Xiao family is naturally no exception. The children of the Xiao family have been reading and seeing since childhood, and naturally they are also very advocating force. When they heard that Elder Taishang was going to accept disciples, their bowels were blue with remorse, and they all hated themselves for not cultivating well this year.

Elder Taishang has a supreme position in the Xiao family, and his strength is also the first person in the Xiao family. His prestige is not only resounding in the Xiao family, but also in Celestial City. Ten years ago, there was a high-level spirit master from outside to provoke the majesty of the Xiao family, and at that time, all the elders in the family were not the opponents of that spirit master, but in the face of the Supreme Elder, that spirit master was destroyed by the Supreme Elder with one move, and there was not even any scum left. After this incident, all the major families in Celestial Elephant City were afraid of it. The reason why the Zhou family and the Li family are jealous of the Xiao family is also because of the elder Taishang of the Xiao family.

In a world that admires force like this, it is so glorious to be able to become the first person in the Xiao family, and even the first person in Celestial City. Not only the status, but even the strength, under the guidance of the Supreme Elder, it is impossible to remain strong. So when the news came out, the entire martial arts theater was messed up, and many people were pulling their hair and patting their thighs.

Xiao Feng heard these words differently from others, he pursed his lips and said secretly: "Is Taishang going to accept apprentices again? Who is he going to accept this time? Hmph, no matter who it is, the Canglan Zhu has already arrived in my hands, he doesn't want to go back again." ”

After a turn of thoughts, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced into the distance, only to see a group of people walking out of the direction of the backyard.

The leader is the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Jingtai. He led the group to the Yanwu Academy, and on the high platform that was built, he said aloud to the children of the Xiao family below with his hands behind his back: "Today is the day of the annual family competition, it is still the old rule, before the competition, the children of the family must be tested." This time of year is the day that determines your fate in the future, and I won't say much about the rules, just like in previous years. Let's get started. ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Family master, is it true that Taishang accepted apprentices?"

Xiao Jingtai had just turned around, and when he suddenly heard this, he turned around again and said with a slight smile: "There is indeed such a thing, and Taishang said that the number one in Dabi this year is his disciple." ”

As soon as these words came out, the children of the Xiao family under the high stage immediately boiled. Their eyes looked at the candidate in their minds, and their eyes showed envy.

When Xiao Feng heard this, he immediately thought of Elder Taishang's instructions, but at that time, Elder Taishang gave him a task, asking him to win the first place, and if he couldn't take it, he would be assigned. Originally, he was a little listless because Xiao Bai didn't come back, but he suddenly became energetic, and clenched his fists like chicken blood.

"I almost forgot about it. It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Xiao Feng said secretly.

"First, you must take it!"

Just when Xiao Feng's heart changed, the test had already begun.

The children of the Xiao family walked onto the test bench one by one in order. On the test bench was the hedron used to measure spiritual power. The hedron looks like a stone monument from the outside, with layers on top, each layer representing a rank.

A sturdy boy about fifteen years old stood in front of the test spar, and luck concentrated the strength of his whole body on his right fist and smashed it the hedr.

"Boom!" a light lit up on the spar, and the light extended upwards, until it reached the sixth layer, and the light staggered and fell back to the fifth layer.

The monitoring elder on the side nodded and said, "Xiao Hongyang, a fifth-layer, middle-level spirit person, has been more than one order higher than last year, and you can stay in the Xiao Mansion Martial Arts Academy to cultivate and enjoy the treatment of a spirit person." ”

Xiao Hongyang clenched his fists and happily saluted the monitoring elder.

After Xiao carried forward, an obese young man walked to the spar, and he punched the spar with a nervous face, but saw the light on the spar rise, and stopped when it reached the third layer.

The monitoring elder said: "Xiao Yu, a third-layer, high-level spirit disciple, has not improved at all compared to last year, stay in the mansion and wait for the arrangement." ”

"Xiao Feiyu, the fourth layer, a low-level spirit, can stay in the Yanwu Academy to cultivate and enjoy the treatment of a spirit. ”

"Xiao Qing, the sixth layer, a high-level spirit, can stay in the Yanwu Academy to cultivate and enjoy the treatment of a spirit. ”

......

After the test of the children of the Xiao family, some people were happy and some were worried. Those who passed the test were naturally extremely happy. Those who did not pass the test were depressed and depressed.

At this moment, the monitoring elder said loudly, "Next, Xiao Lan." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was attracted to him.

"It's finally here, I don't know what will happen to Brother Xiao Lan this year? This is the last year for him to participate in the big competition. ”

Next year, Brother Xiao Lan will be able to directly enjoy the family's unique treatment. ”

"I'm so envious. ”

Just when everyone was talking, Xiao Lan walked to the side of the spar, he used the strength of his whole body, shouted, and smashed his fist on the spar. But seeing that the light on the spar was in full bloom, a red light instantly skipped the first eight layers, slowed down at the ninth layer, rose to the tenth layer, and slowly reached the eleventh layer.

At this moment, everyone was stunned by this scene. Eleventh floor, that's a mid-level spirit master. When he reaches the spirit master level, he will become a pivotal figure in the family, and he actually broke through to the middle level spirit master within two years, and even the monitoring elders on the side flashed a trace of surprise.

"Okay, very good, I actually reached the middle level spirit master. Xiao Jingtai on the high platform stood up and applauded.

Unlike Xiao Jingtai, Xiao Jinghuan, his face immediately sank when he saw this scene. Looking at Xiao Lan's eyes, there was an indescribable emotion flashing.
