Chapter 17: Strengthening the Body

After the internal force test and martial arts test are completed, the remaining thing is for the patriarch and the nine elders to decide. In another month, it will be a contest between the outstanding children of the three strongest families in Yushui City. The Xia family will select five of the best family children to participate in the competition for the assessment quota of the Purple Leaf Academy.

The three major families of Yushui City, the Xia family, the Wang family, and the Xi family, will select a total of fifteen outstanding family children to compete for the five Purple Leaf Academy admission assessment places. These five places are very important for any family.

After Xia Yan left the square, he walked towards the simple courtyard where he lived in the backyard. In my mind, I recalled the various martial arts I had memorized in the square just now. It would take some time for Xia Yan to refine these martial arts, and when refining these martial arts, Xia Yan felt a trace of fatigue in his body, and his brain was slightly dizzy. It seems that there is a limit to this refining martial art!

"Xia Yan!"

Just when Xia Yan was just resisting the backyard, he heard a crisp and familiar voice coming from behind. Xia Yan's heart moved, and there was a trace of fluctuation on his face, and he turned around slowly, and saw Xia Zixin, who had beautiful cheeks and dusty faces, coming in style.

Xia Yan said with an indifferent smile on his face: "Thank you for letting Xiaoyu send 'Luoying Breaking Jade Sword'!"

Xia Zixin's eyes condensed, shook her head slightly, exhaled softly with her small mouth, and said, "All along, I thought that you didn't open up the martial arts meridians, but I didn't expect you to walk in front of all of us." Xia Yan, why haven't you shown your strength before?"

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he understood what Xia Zixin meant. Xia Zixin thinks that she has been hiding her secrets before. Xia Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, to explain or not to explain?

"I can only say that ten months ago, I didn't have a single martial arts meridian, let alone any martial arts foundation. Xia Yan's eyes flashed, and he said directly.

Xia Zixin's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she secretly thought in her heart, could it be that at this time, Xia Yan still wants to hide herself? However, this doesn't seem to be necessary! Besides, Xia Yan's expression doesn't look like he's lying. But......

In less than a year, how could it be possible to open up a hundred martial arts meridians? Even if you don't sleep and practice all night, you can't do it at all. Moreover, the cultivation of martial arts is not something that can be mastered overnight.

In Jade Water City, I had never heard of anyone cultivating so quickly.

"Okay, I have to go back and change my clothes, you see I ...... now" Xia Yan smiled slightly, and glanced at his clothes.

Xia Zixin pursed her lips, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, by the way, Xia Yan, let's have dinner together in the evening, my father, I also have something to say to you." ”

Xia Yan frowned, thought about it for a while, and then said, "Okay!"

After separating from Xia Zixin, Xia Yan continued to walk towards his humble courtyard. Along the way, he met a few Xia family disciples, if it was before, these Xia family disciples would have bypassed him even if they didn't taunt him to his face. But now, these children of the Xia family are competing to greet Xia Yan one by one.

This change in the snap of a finger made Xia Yan sigh too. In particular, Xia Yan met the maid Xiaocui. When Xiao Cui saw Xia Yan, the expression on her face instantly stiffened, and she hurriedly lowered her head to bypass it, but suddenly stopped.

With Xia Yan's current speaking strength, it is also a matter of one sentence to drive her out of the Xia family. Therefore, she wanted to bypass it, but stopped again, because Xia Yan had already seen her.

"Young Master Xia Yan!" Xiao Cui lowered her head and squeezed out a few words from her small mouth, and her voice was extremely low.

In the past, how could she ever call Young Master Xia Yan?

Xia Yan saw that her face was like a pig's liver, and her chest was undulating, and she said in her heart, why should I worry a lot with a maid?

"Well, it's hard work!" Xia Yan nodded and said casually to Xiao Cui, without any anger on his face.

Xiao Cui originally thought that Xia Yan would definitely retaliate, even if he didn't add punches and kicks, he would definitely insult and ridicule. But he didn't want to, but Xia Yan didn't say anything, and his face was pleasant, as if he didn't remember anything before.

"Young Master Xia Yan!" Xiao Cui suddenly knelt down, tears swirling rapidly in her eyes, and they could fall at any time.

"Who are you?" Xia Yan was taken aback by Xiao Cui and hurriedly asked.

"Young Master Xia Yan, in the past, Xiao Cui had no eyes, and there was a lot of disrespect to Young Master Xia Yan, and I asked Young Master Xia Yan not to drive Xiao Cui out of the Xia family!" Xiao Cui finally cried all of a sudden.

Xia Yan couldn't help but be a little amused, and said, "Who said I was going to drive you away?"

Hearing Xia Yan say this, Xiao Cui raised her head, looked at Xia Yan with tears in her eyes, and said with a whimper: "Young Master Xia Yan, won't you drive me away?" Xiao Cui didn't treat Young Master Xia Yan at all before, and Young Master Xia Yan must be very angry in his heart. Now that Young Master Xia Yan has seen Xiao Cui, if he doesn't beat or scold, he will definitely drive Xiao Cui away!"

Xia Yan listened to her words, and couldn't help but be impressed by this little cui, this girl, can come up with so many truths?

"Hehe, don't worry, you are the maid of the patriarch, how can I drive you out of the Xia family? Okay, you hurry up, it's not good for others to see it, I'm going to go back and change my clothes now, so I'll leave first." Xia Yan walked around and left quickly.

Xiao Cui looked at Xia Yan's back, and her heart really felt like she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and she had any taste. kept saying in his heart, Young Master Xia Yan, he is really a good young master, much stronger than those young masters.

Back in the small courtyard, Xia Yan hurriedly locked himself in the room, and after taking a bath, he changed into dry and clean clothes.

"Boy!"

Just as Xia Yan was about to practice the various martial arts he had just memorized in the square, the old man of the Holy Emperor appeared again.

"It must feel good today, right? Haha, I didn't expect that you kid was looked down upon so much before!" the old man of the Holy Emperor laughed, his face full of red light.

Xia Yan looked at the old man of the Holy Emperor helplessly, smacked his mouth, and did not respond.

"Boy, I almost forgot to tell you one thing, it's about me in the Lingluo Ring, you can't mention it to anyone, not even the closest people, you know?" The old man of the Holy Emperor changed his face very quickly, and he laughed and teased Xia Yan just now, and immediately said to Xia Yan with a serious face at this time.

Xia Yan frowned, looked at the old man of the Holy Emperor and wondered, "Why?"

Seriously, if the old man of the Holy Emperor hadn't instructed him, he would definitely tell the third grandfather Xia Changhe about it. Xia Changhe is the person Xia Yan trusts the most, so Xia Yan will not hide it from him.

"Do as I say. Also, although you have now opened up one hundred and eight martial arts meridians, your physical toughness is still too far behind. From today onwards, you will have to cultivate according to my method. Well, let's strengthen your body first!" the old man of the Holy Emperor glared, then rolled his eyelids, nodded his head and said as he circled around the room.

"Strengthen the body?" Xia Yan stared.
