Chapter 2: The Test of the Beast
Yan Lan calculated, there were more than 20 teenagers who participated in the promotion ceremony. According to the proportion of more than eighty percent eliminated in previous years, there are at most five or six people who can successfully advance today.
"Little bug, if you can advance, my name of Yan Lingkun will be read upside down!"
The young man who was shouting in front of Yan Lan's house before came to Yan Lan's side at this time, his voice was high, his eyes were full of pride and disdain, and in front of hundreds of clansmen, he openly belittled Yan Lan.
There was a burst of laughter all around, which meant that they were not optimistic about Yan Lan.
Yan Lan smiled faintly, ignoring Yan Lingkun, nor paying attention to the disdain and ridicule that permeated the surroundings.
This Yan Lingkun, who is also twelve years old, can be described as a beautiful figure in the children's group, coached by the children's group and the juvenile group, and is recognized as the first talent and strength in the children's group. Participating in the promotion ceremony this time is probably just a form of walking.
Yan Lingkun saw that Yan Lan didn't pay attention to him, and his expression was quite arrogant, a wave of anger immediately rose in his heart, and he said disdainfully: "No matter how arrogant you are, you are still a poor little worm, your name doesn't even have the word Ling symbolizing the orthodox generation of the family, it's really ridiculous to want to be promoted to the youth group." ”
Yan Lan glanced at Yan Lingkun, these sarcastic words didn't seem to be something that a twelve-year-old boy could say, but when they came out of Yan Lingkun's mouth, they were extremely numb. Presumably, Yan Lingkun's ability to ridicule people is even more powerful than his cultivation talent.
However, Yan Lingkun said one thing right, Yan Lingyu, Yan Lingkun, they all have a Ling character in their names, which is a symbol of the orthodox lineage of the family.
And he, Yan Lan, can't be called Yan Linglan.
Yan Lan was still light, and seeing that Yan Lingkun was still unrelenting, he simply said casually: "Kun Lingyan!"
"You...... What do you say? Say it again!"
Yan Lingkun's eyes seemed to be about to erupt into fire, and for the first time, Yan Lan, who had never fought back or scolded back, fought back against him.
Especially when Yan Lingkun saw that the girls around him let out a light laugh, he suddenly felt that his usually tall and gorgeous image was violently shattered by Yan Lan and trampled under his feet. This is simply a vicious destruction for him, who has always enjoyed the envy and respect of his peers.
"Kun Lingyan, you asked me to say it again, it's none of my business!"
Yan Lan rolled her eyes, full of depression and grievance, filled her chest for ten years, today, it's time to release it.
"You...... You're looking for death!"
Yan Lingkun jumped up violently, raised his fist, and a fierce energy was about to blast towards Yan Lan.
"Ling Kun, stop!"
A majestic voice burst out, as if it had infinite magical powers, and it actually made Yan Lingkun's fist spiritual energy fall apart.
Yan Lan looked up, and the person who stopped drinking was Yan Muxiong, the coach of the youth group, with thick eyebrows and a wide face, cold eyes, a black power suit, clenched fists, and hideous veins, revealing explosive strength and strong combat experience.
"Coach, what a strong force!"
Around, many onlookers gently let out exclamations.
Yan Lan glanced at Yan Muxiong, secretly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will have the strength comparable to that of a coach." ”
Yan Lingkun turned around with his fists closed, and bowed his hand respectfully towards Yan Muxiong: "Yes, Master Coach." ”
Immediately, Yan Lingkun turned his head and said fiercely in a voice that only Yan Lan could hear: "Little worm, you wait, this matter is not over." After a while, I will take a good look at how embarrassed you are. ”
Yan Lan didn't speak, and he didn't pay attention, he knew that strength had the most right to speak.
In the past, he held back, but he lacked a high-profile occasion, and if he shined in private, he would definitely be bullied together. No matter how strong he is, he will be outnumbered.
The promotion ceremony is a ceremony that even the elders of the family will pay attention to, if he can shine here, the Yan clan, who respects strength, will definitely not look down on him again.
Yan Lan waited patiently, more and more clansmen gathered around, and the noise became more and more boiling. His gaze looked at Ling Yu from afar from time to time, and every time he met Ling Yu's eyes, he could feel the warmth and strength contained in that smile.
"Knock ......"
As soon as the drum sounded, the clansmen were completely silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the nearly thirty teenagers in the center of the training ground.
Yan Muxiong, the coach of the youth group, stood up, and after some admonition, he shouted: "This year's promotion ceremony, there is only one round, but it is a test of strength and courage, and the evil beast is lifted!"
When Yan Lan heard the prestige, he saw a deacon elder of the family pinching his hand, and seven iron cages three zhang square slowly fell onto the training ground, lined up.
On top of the iron cage, covered with black cloth, you can't see the things in the cage clearly, but you can hear the roar of the Tao, which is shocking.
With a wave of his right hand, Yan Muxiong uncovered the black cloth on the three iron cages on the far left, and the three-headed leopard beast showed its hideous fangs, looking extremely fierce.
Yan Muxiong shouted: "The strength of these three leopard beasts is equivalent to the early stage of Juyuan, which is a first-order test. ”
Subsequently, Yan Muxiong removed the black cloth of the three iron cages in the middle, and the three-headed tiger beast roared violently, and the ferocious power revealed the iron cage, lingering on the training ground, and immediately many teenagers turned pale and their hearts were shocked.
Yan Muxiong shouted loudly: "This is a tiger beast, and its strength is equivalent to the middle stage of Juyuan, which is a second-order test. ”
"Then the third level of the test is ......"
Everyone's eyes fell on the last iron cage.
Inside this iron cage, it was surprisingly quiet, without any roar.
Yan Muxiong turned around, waved his big hand, removed the black cloth, and a pitch-black bear beast in the cage slowly stood up, and his body was more than a zhang high, almost equivalent to the height of two adults.
A ferocity that suffocated most of the teenagers slowly spread, and immediately several teenagers stood unsteadily and sat on the ground.
Yan Muxiong's voice was high-pitched: "This is a bear beast, and its strength is equivalent to ...... In the early stage of Yuan Dan, this is the third-order test!"
According to legend, the division of cultivation as strength was determined by the great supernatural powers of ancient times, and it has been handed down for many years.
No one knows how heavy the cultivation realm is, but the first realm of the Heavenly Origin Realm is widely known, and it is divided into three stages: Juyuan, Yuandan, and Huadan.
However, before the first realm, there were still cultivation steps such as qi training, qi control, and qi condensation, which may have been too shallow to enter the eyes of the great supernatural powers, so they were not included in the first realm.
Yan Muxiong's voice made all the clansmen gasp.
"In the early days of Yuan Dan, he actually used such a powerful beast as a test this time, and he didn't treat them as children!"
"This kind of strength, only the geniuses of the youth group have the strength to fight. The little ones in the children's group, how can they survive a breath in front of that bear beast!"
"It is estimated that this bear beast is idle in this test, and most of the little guys should go towards the leopard beast. ”
“......”
In the discussion of the clansmen, even Tianjiao Yan Lingkun of the children's group showed a solemn expression.
At this time, Yan Lan stared at the most powerful bear beast with round eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said in surprise: "Little ...... Little Velvet, you ...... How did you get caught by your clansmen?"
At the same time, the bear beast in the iron cage also found Yan Lan's figure, and it let out a low roar when it was originally motionless.
Yan Lan's heart tightened, and he said secretly: "If the clansmen knew that Xiao Rong was a vicious beast that I rescued and secretly fed and grew up, it would definitely be dismantled." ”
Without thinking too much, Yan Lan glanced at the bear beast.
The bear beast and Yan Lan have been together for several years, and Yan Lan knows what it means with a glance, and immediately throws its head away, pretending that it doesn't know Yan Lan.
At this time, Yan Lingkun noticed that Yan Lan was squeezing his eyebrows, of course he didn't know the relationship between Yan Lan and the bear beast, and immediately sneered: "Little worm, be frightened by that bear beast, hmph, with your ability, you are afraid that if you get into the iron cage of the weakest leopard beast, you will be scared." That bear beast, if you get close to Sanzhang, you will tremble and be frightened and weak. ”
Yan Lan didn't pay attention to Yan Lingkun, at this time he was thinking about how to rescue the bear beast Xiaorong.
Yan Lingkun saw that Yan Lan looked like he was ignoring him again, and he hated it even more.
After allowing the clansmen to discuss for thirty breaths, Yan Muxiong raised his arm, signaled quiet, and said loudly: "This promotion test, only this round, is the final word. The person who refers to it can choose to enter any of the seven iron cages. ”
"Those who enter the leopard cage will pass the guò test if they persist in 60 breaths and will pass the guò test; those who enter the tiger cage will pass the guò test if they persist in 30 breaths of undefeated. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Muxiong paused slightly, faced the bear beast iron cage, and said with interest: "Those who enter the bear cage will pass the guò test if they persist in ten breaths." ”
As soon as the words came out, the clansmen were in an uproar.
"No, Mu Xiong's coaching words have a deep meaning, into the leopard cage and the tiger cage, you need to be undefeated. And into the bear cage, as long as it does not fall. ”
"Yes, this year's test is more cruel than in previous years. Even in the face of the leopard beast in the early stage of Juyuan, it is quite difficult to insist on sixty breaths of undefeated in the iron cage of three zhang square. Not to mention facing the bear beast, insist on not falling down. ”
"Huhu, before the test began, the faces of many little ones turned pale. It seems that some of the little guys are going to abstain directly!"
“......”
After a moment of uproar, Yan Muxiong said loudly: "Abstainer, please walk out of the training ground directly." Accept the test, take three steps forward. ”
In the juvenile group, nearly 30 teenagers immediately had different complexions, and feelings such as entanglement, trembling, and hesitation lingered in their hearts.
Yan Lingkun smiled slightly, with an arrogant look, and took three steps forward with his head held high.
The eyes of many clansmen focused on this young man who did not hesitate to take three steps, and the voices of praise and admiration were endless.
Yan Lingkun squinted slightly, as a Tianjiao in the children's group, he was used to the praise of the clansmen, although he was used to it, he still enjoyed this feeling of being in the limelight.
A few more teenagers took three steps forward with a slight hesitation.
More than a dozen teenagers left the training ground timidly.
In the end, only one person remained, standing still, without leaving the training ground and without taking three steps forward.
The only person is Yan Lan. His gaze was scanning the crowd around him, and he wanted to find the familiar figure, his only relative, his father.
The eyes of all the clansmen also fell on Yan Lan, and the expressions of many clansmen became strange.
"Yan Lan, this little guy, is scared silly!"
"This little worm, cowardly by nature, must have been frightened by the beast. ”
"Coach, take the stupid Yan Lan away from the training ground, don't hinder the normal progress of the promotion test. ”
“......”
Mocking and impatient voices come and go.
Yan Lingkun smiled disdainfully, and said with joy in his heart: "Poor little worm, you are going to be laughed at by the clansmen again, you deserve ......"
Yan Muxiong frowned, with his gaze, he could naturally see that Yan Lan was not scared stupid, but was looking for something.
"Yan Lan, do you choose to abstain, or do you choose to participate in the test?"
Yan Muxiong asked calmly, in his eyes, only the strength of strength, and the dignity of the identity did not matter.
At this time, Yan Lan's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he found his familiar figure at the outskirts of the crowd.
"Father, please look at Lan'er and shine!"
Yan Lan turned his head, looked at Yan Muxiong with resolute eyes, and said crisply: "Master Coach, I will participate in the test." ”
With that, Yan Lan straightened up and took three steps forward.
