About ten miles away from the Yan family, there is a building complex with a radius of thousands of zhang. The buildings are all in a simple style, and like the Yan family, they have ancient trees and flowers, which are extraordinarily ethereal. This complex of buildings is the domain of the Situ family.

In the center of the complex, there is a pavilion that is significantly taller than the others. In the pavilion, there is a meeting hall, and there are eight people sitting in the hall, who are on both sides of the main seat, and they are the eight elders of the Situ family. And the middle lord seat is empty, but the patriarch of the Situ family is not there.

With the twisting of the platform mechanism, the nine seats that were originally in a row were slowly formed in a circle, and a round platform was raised in the middle.

"Second Elder, you say, Zhao Nan, lost to a person of the same age as him from the Yan family?"

Second Elder Situ Hengkong's face turned blue, he impatiently tapped the round platform with his fingertips, and said with a little annoyance: "Third Elder, this is the fourth time you have asked me since I came back. What do you mean, taunt me, mock me, or think I'm lying?"

Third Elder Situ smiled, a little embarrassed, and said, "Second Elder misunderstood, I just can't believe that with Zhao Nan's talent and hard work, there is actually a peer who beats him, it's really incredible." ”

Situ Hengkong frowned, and said coldly: "I can't believe it, but the truth happened." That kid, now that I think about it, it's quite strange, I think he didn't seem to be an outstanding figure in the family, how can he fight with my Nan'er, as if he was like a god. My Nan'er, not only suffered some trauma, but also became a stepping stone for that kid to climb up. It's a big loss to take on the challenge this time. ”

Fourth Elder Situ coughed lightly and said, "Second Elder, you can't be too prestigious. Zhao Nan's defeat this time was not without benefits. First of all, it does not harm the fundamentals, so it does not affect future cultivation. Secondly, at least let him understand that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people on people, so he can't be too arrogant. So this defeat may help him become stronger. ”

Hearing this, Situ Hengkong's brows stretched a little, and then he was dissatisfied: "Fortunately, Nan'er's injury is not serious, and after a month of recuperation, she should be able to recover as before." Now there is still half a year before the martial arts test ceremony, and Zhao Nan will be fourteen years old in half a year, according to the original plan, it should not be a problem to win the top three in the junior martial arts test. It's just that Yan Lan, who is even stronger than Zhao Nan, suddenly appeared, and with those genius boys of the big clans, the top three are difficult to guarantee. ”

The martial arts test ceremony is divided into two major martial arts tests: large and junior level. The senior martial arts examination is for those aged 16, 78 and 17, and the junior martial arts examination is for those aged 13 or 145.

"Hmph, those old guys in the sky and land have been lonely for a long time. The battle between the strong has spread too much, so they came up with the trick of holding a martial arts test ceremony, so that young people of all ethnic groups can compete for the competition, which is really boring. If you want to compare, you have to be those old guys who have done it in person to have something to look at. What's the point of these little guys making a little fuss!" Grand Elder Situ said with a disdainful expression.

Situ Hengkong's face sank, and he snorted: "If those old guys make a big move, I'm afraid that the little Tianlu can't stand their tossing." However, since there is this martial arts test ceremony, all ethnic groups and factions attach great importance to it, so it will at least be a little interesting. It's just that this time, in the junior martial arts test, my clan may not be too satisfied, hey......"

Maybe it was because Situ Zhaonan was defeated by Yan Lan, but Situ said something in the air, but his momentum was greatly reduced, and he was no longer as arrogant as he was in the Yan Clan Square that day.

The Great Elder sneered, his eyes shimmered, and said, "That's not necessarily!"

Situ was stunned for a moment, his old face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "How do you understand what the Great Elder said?"

The corners of the Great Elder's mouth raised, he looked at the empty patriarch's position, and said, "Because the patriarch didn't come." ”

"The patriarch didn't come, so what did he do? What does this rank have to do with the patriarch's absence, and it's not the patriarch who can play in person!" Situ Hengkong asked with a frown.

"Hehe, the patriarch himself will definitely not participate in the competition, he is not here now, so he will naturally go and personally cultivate his grandson?" the Great Elder said leisurely.

"Situ Zhaoyun, could it be that Zhaoyun has been rescued?" Situ Hengkong immediately exclaimed.

The Great Elder said indifferently: "With the ability of the patriarch, even if it is half a dead person, it can be saved, not to mention just the unconscious Zhaoyun! In addition, with the help of the family's medicine pill at any cost, now Zhaoyun's strength is only afraid to be even more terrifying." ”

Situ gasped. Situ Zhaonan has always been the pearl of his palm. If anyone in the Situ family can compare Situ Zhaonan, then only Situ Zhaoyun, who is called a "ghost talent" by the clansmen.

Situ Zhaoyun, at the age of eleven, stepped into the Yuan Dan period, and at the age of twelve, his soul reached the fourth grade of the human realm, but at the age of thirteen, he carried out the baptism of heavenly thunder that only a very small number of heavenly talents in the family were qualified to participate in.

Now more than three months have passed, Situ Hengkong, as the second elder of the family, has never heard the news of Situ Zhaoyun's awakening. Now that he learned that he had already woken up, and his strength had advanced rapidly, and his momentum would definitely surpass Situ Zhaonan, his heart naturally trembled and he was unhappy. But then he was relieved, after all, the martial arts test ceremony was a battle between family sects, as long as the Situ family won, he would naturally have three points of glory.

"Yan Lan, you have an opponent, and you will lose badly!" Situ Hengkong secretly compared Yan Lan with Situ Zhaoyun in his heart, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently smiled. Yan Lan defeated his palm pearl, and he was now desperate to see Yan Lan defeated.

"That Yan Lan, what is the specific strength?" the Great Elder asked lightly.

"Well, the cultivation realm should be in the middle of the Yuan Dan period, and the soul realm is one line stronger than Zhao Nan, and it should be the fourth grade of the human realm. The most important thing is that he has crossed the level and cultivated to the second-order lower grade skill Heavenly Seal Palm, but he is still lacking in the fire. Situ Hengkong recalled.

"Hehe, this kid, he shouldn't have been baptized by their family's king's weapon, he has such an achievement, Zhao Nan lost in his hands, it's not a shame. However, compared to Zhaoyun, it doesn't seem to be enough......" Great Elder Situ's voice sounded slowly, showing a calm look.

"I really don't know Zhaoyun, after being baptized by the heavenly thunder, now that he has awakened, what kind of realm has his strength reached?" Situ Hengkong looked at the empty seat of the patriarch and said expectantly.

......

In an underground secret room of the Situ family, a large old man and a young man who are still childish sit on a platform. Around the platform, there was a purple-blue electric light. The old man put one hand on the back of the young man's neck, and the light flashed all over his body, and a trace of spiritual yuan, like a cocoon, slowly poured into the young man's body. The young man's face was slightly painful, but under the firmness of his clenched teeth, his body did not move at all.

These two people are Situ Hengyi, the patriarch of the Situ family, and his grandson Situ Zhaoyun.

After about three hours, a strong light suddenly erupted in Situ Hengyi's body, and the energy of the entire secret room suddenly fluctuated sharply, and even the thunder and lightning around him flowed more violently.

Situ Hengyi slowly withdrew his hand that was pressed on the back of Situ Zhaoyun's neck, the spirit yuan was running, and the surrounding thunder mangs converged towards his hands, and the thunder energy gathered more and more, and finally formed a dazzling ball shape.

Situ Hengyi looked at the thunder ball solemnly, gritted his teeth, and slapped the thunderball from Situ Zhaoyun Tianling cover. In an instant, Situ Zhaoyun let out a painful groan, and his body trembled sharply. But he was biting his lips tightly, his fists clenched, and he was under the addition of huge energy.

Half an hour later, when the energy flowing around Situ Zhaoyun's body began to subside and was contained in his body, Situ Hengyi exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and his broad figure slowly stood up, even if he cultivated deeply, he still couldn't hide the exhaustion in his body.

"Yun'er, you have finally completed the most difficult baptism of heaven and thunder in the history of our clan for teenagers. Now your cultivation realm has reached the peak of the Yuan Dan stage, and the soul realm has also reached the peak of the four grades of the human realm. If you cultivate like this for another half a year, you may be able to break through to the early stage of the cultivation realm, and the soul realm will also reach the five grades of the human realm. At that time, within this heaven and land, the peers who can be comparable to you are afraid that there will be no more than half a hand, hahaha...... It's really a waste of grandpa's hard work!" Situ Hengyi said at the end, laughing excitedly.

The painful look between Situ Zhaoyun's eyebrows finally dissipated, he stretched his waist, his dark face, and lean body, at first glance, he looked like an ordinary teenager from a secular family.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely become the strongest person among my peers on the heavens and lands. ”

The indifferent and confident voice slowly floated in the secret room, making Situ Hengyi's eyes even hotter.
