Chapter 16: Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred
Listening to the shouts on the stage, a pair of eyes mixed with curiosity and doubt suddenly moved down from the VIP seats on the high platform.
The reason why they participated in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony today was because they wanted to determine whether this young man who had recently been rumored in Utan City was as rumored.
Listening to the shout, Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes, and the surrounding ones were mixed with various expressions, like looking at a monkey, so that he shook his head helplessly in his heart.
Exhaled lightly, Ye Qingxiao's face remained indifferent, and then under the gaze of the audience, he stepped on the high platform step by step.
The host of the coming-of-age ceremony was Second Elder Xiao Ying, although this Second Elder had never given Ye Qing any good looks before, but since Ye Qing defeated the Great Elder that day, his face has always revealed a look of respect, Fighting Continent, the strong are respected.
Looking at the young man in front of him who looked like a demon with a somewhat complicated look, Xiao Ying sighed in his heart, his face trembled slightly, took a few materials needed for the ceremony from the stage behind him, and then walked towards Ye Qing.
Looking at the second elder who came over, thinking of the cumbersomeness of the previous ceremony, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a headache.
But for the sake of his hidden mission, he could only smile bitterly and close his eyes in resignation.
Under the gaze of the audience, Ye Qing stood in place like an idiot for half an hour, and those cumbersome ceremonies slowly came to an end.
With a sigh of relief, Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes, looked at the various spices sprinkled all over his body, and rolled his eyes a little depressedly, this (his) (the) is simply a puppet, I really don't know how those people endured it just now.
After finishing these cumbersome things, even the second elder wiped his sweat, turned around and walked to the black stone test tablet, and said loudly: "Ritual retest ......"
The ritual retest is another test of the fighting spirit.
The quiz more than two months ago was just a prediction, and the purpose was to select the best seeds in the clan.
And these outstanding seed clansmen are qualified to hold coming-of-age ceremonies on this high platform, while those clansmen below the seventh-stage fighting qi can only hold some brief ceremonies, which is quite shabby.
The ritual retest is also much stricter and more detailed than the prediction, and this retest is personally monitored and tested by the second elder who is a two-star great fighter, which shows how much they attach importance to the coming-of-age ceremony.
Although Ye Qing did not participate in the test more than two months ago because of his disdain, as the son of the patriarch, he still had some privileges, so he had the opportunity to take this test exceptionally.
Listening to the shouts of the second elder, the audience, who was still a little bored, suddenly became energetic, and their eyes were directly cast on the high platform.
On the VIP seat, the eyes of those forces from all sides were also staring closely at the black-shirted young man on the stage.
The purpose of their visit was to make sure that this legendary boy really seemed to be as deeply hidden as the rumors?
Is it really that against the sky?
Ignoring the fiery gazes around him, Ye Qing stepped forward calmly with a small face, and paused in front of the black stone stele.
Squinting at the young man in front of him, the second elder's dry palm touched the black stone tablet, and a trace of fighting spirit was instilled.
Then stood aside expressionlessly, but when his eyes flashed over Ye Qing, he still couldn't help but pass a touch of questioning: "This little guy, is it really hidden?" Didn't the Great Elder lie? ”
It seemed that the shock caused by Ye Qing's defeat of the Great Elder with momentum this time had dealt the Second Elder quite a blow, even though he knew in his heart that this was indeed a fact, he was still a little stubborn and unwilling to believe it.
Therefore, he automatically asked Ying this time to personally monitor Xiao Fei (Ye Qing)'s test!
Not caring about the doubts in his eyes, Ye Qing's palm slowly touched the stone tablet.
Looking at Ye Qing, who was touching the stone tablet on the high platform, under the stage, Xiao Yuliu's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he turned his head to Xiao Ning and asked in a low voice, "That guy is really hidden?" ”
Since Xiao Yu had only returned to the family from the academy on leave in the past two days, she had not seen the battle between Xiao Ning and Ye Qing with her own eyes, nor did she see the embarrassment of the Great Elder.
Coupled with the mercy of Ye Qing's subordinates, Xiao Ning's injuries have healed.
Although you can't use your fighting spirit, you're still the same as a normal person.
Therefore, Xiao Yu was very suspicious of this matter, thinking that Ye Qing had used some despicable means.
Asked by her sister, Xiao Ning nodded a little bitterly, and said in a muffled voice: "Well, I don't know what happened to that guy?" It's terrifying to be able to use the energy of the outside space. ”
After once again confirming the authenticity of this rumor, Xiao Yuhong's lips pursed, and he stomped on his (sexual) long legs with some annoyance, glaring angrily at the black-shirted young man in the field, and his pretty cheeks raised a touch of stubbornness: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe that the stinky boy is really hidden." ”
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu stared at the field with a sneer: "Last time you competed, he must have used some unknown means, this time it was monitored by the second elder himself, I see you as ......"
She hadn't been at the scene of the confrontation between the Great Elder and Ye Qing yet, otherwise she wouldn't have said that.
Before the sneering whisper could speak, Xiao Yu's pretty cheeks suddenly stiffened, and the rest of the words were frozen in his throat.
On the high wooden platform, the huge black stone tablet shone brightly, and the golden characters, dragons and phoenixes danced on the surface of the stone tablet.
"Dou Ling, Nine Stars ......"
Looking at the four big golden characters on the black stone stele.
In the training ground, there was a slight silence, and then a large number of gasps sounded like a convulsive version, and everyone's expressions were frozen at this moment.
Silence, silence in the audience......
All eyes, after being slightly stunned, were frozen in a daze on the black stone tablet that shone with golden light.
In the VIP seats, there was a crisp sound of teacups falling to the ground.
Those representatives from all the forces in Utan City were all stunned and full of disbelief at this moment.
The purpose of their visit this time was just to confirm whether Xia Yeqing was really as rumored to be, and it had always been hidden.
However, the situation on the field now not only confirmed the authenticity of the rumors, but also greatly exceeded their expectations.
At the age of sixteen, he reached the realm of the Nine Star Dou Ling, this kind of cultivation speed, in the hearts of everyone, there are only two words to describe, that is, terrifying.
"The Xiao family made a big fortune this time......"
In the VIP seat, everyone couldn't help but take a light breath, and muttered in their hearts, a clansman who can reach the Nine-Star Dou Spirit at the age of sixteen, can imagine what kind of light his future will be.
After all, the Nine-Star Dou Ling, in this small city of Utan, is already the strongest person.
"According to this cultivation progress, maybe in a few decades, no, I'm afraid it won't be so long, and the Xiao family will have a super powerhouse at the level of the Dou Sect or even beyond the level of the Dou Sect."
Everyone in the VIP seat glanced at each other, and a somewhat shocking thought flashed in their hearts.
Take Douhuang as an example, Douhuang, as long as any small family in the Gamma Empire produces a Douhuang-level powerhouse, then this family, no matter what limitations it has, its status will also rise with Lima.
At that time, even the three major families of the Gama Empire would not dare to take a suppressive posture against it.
After all, there are few powerhouses at the level of the Douhuang Emperor, and I don't know how many there are in this great empire.
More than 300 years ago, at that time, the only strong man of the Gama Empire, because of the war launched by the country, his relatives were tragically fished, and in a fit of rage, he single-handedly slaughtered an elite 10,000-strong iron cavalry army of the other party.
Since then, few people in the empire on the Douqi Continent have chosen to offend a Douhuang powerhouse.
It can be seen from this that the powerhouses of the Douhuang level are on this continent, how fierce they are.
And the strength of the strong man of the Dou Sect is more than ten times stronger than that of the Dou Huang, which is almost the difference between heaven and earth.
As long as the Douzong powerhouse is willing, he can destroy the Gama Empire at any time.
Therefore, after seeing Ye Qing's talent, everyone felt extremely envious of the Xiao family.
That's right, it's envy, jealousy, and hatred.
In the center of the high platform, Xiao Zhan was also stabbed by the big golden characters on the black stone tablet, and his eyes were a little sour.
After a long time, he slowly exhaled, looked at the black-shirted young man in the field with relief, and said with a chuckle: "The most right thing to do in this life is probably not to let Ah Fei and my father have a barrier, and the day when my Xiao family takes off is not far away." ”
