The central square of Falling Rain City is crowded with people.

Today is the day of the first awakening ceremony in the three times of the year, and all the teenagers in the city who have reached the thirteen-year-old awakening standard have rushed to the square accompanied by their families.

Awakening the bloodline is the most important thing in the life of all people in this world, because as long as you successfully awaken, it means breaking away from the ranks of ordinary people, embarking on the path of martial cultivation, and becoming a powerful martial artist above the mortal world.

If the awakening is successful, not only will the identity and status change greatly, but also a kind of bloodline talent will be derived, such as the power of wind and thunder quickly mastered by giant force, and has unpredictable power.

In addition, the most important root after awakening is that the blood power in the human body will recover, and it has the ability to absorb the power of heaven and earth, and with the cultivation of martial arts, the martial artist will become stronger and stronger.

It is precisely because the strength of the warrior is beyond the mortal world that there are very few people who can awaken successfully.

Falling Rain City has a population of tens of thousands, but there are no more than a hundred people who have successfully awakened.

And because of the rarity, every martial artist who has successfully awakened has an extremely noble identity, and he is the most special and the most desirable group of people in the entire Falling Rain City.

......

In the crowd, Chu Tangzheng looked at it with a little surprise, he had lived in the desolate countryside since he was a child, and he had never seen so many people gathered together, and he felt very novel when he saw so many people suddenly.

"Look at it, I haven't seen the earthly buns in the world. The maid who came with Li Fei suddenly scolded, she felt that she had lost face by walking with Chu Tang, and her eyes were full of disdain after looking at Chu Tang.

Indeed, Chu Tang's current image is really not good, I saw that his hair was unkempt, his clothes were tattered, he didn't even wear shoes, and he stepped on the ground with his bare feet, at first glance, he thought he was a little beggar.

However, these were not the reasons for Chu Tang to lower his voice, only to see him turn his head suddenly, and a pair of eyes stared at the maid with coldness: "When we met for the first time, your attitude towards me was not friendly, and today you took the initiative to mock me, I want to know, you are just a maid and slave, where does you get your superiority?"

The maid in a servant costume was stunned, and a flush rose on her face, and she didn't know how to answer Chu Tang for a while.

"My Li family, even if it is a slave, has a higher status than a lowly savage like you who doesn't know what to do. Li Fei stopped in front of him, and said without looking back, his tone was full of arrogance.

She was also very annoyed in her heart, and brought Chu Tang to wake up today, originally to repay Chu Tang's life-saving feelings.

But along the way, because of the existence of Chu Tang, she was the second lady of the Li family, and she didn't know how many people were scanned with strange eyes, and there were even a lot of gossip whispers, which made Li Fei very irritable, so she said this loudly, wanting to show the people around her about her relationship with Chu Tang.

The effect was good, her words came out, and someone around immediately shouted loudly: "Second Miss Li, who is this wild man next to you, why is he walking with you?"

Chu Tang was humiliated one after another, and his heart was angry, and a pair of eyes looked coldly at the people who were talking around him.

"Yo, you see, this kid still dares to stare at me. ”

"Hehe, I don't know which mountain the wild man climbed from, and his temper is not small. ”

The crowd laughed and laughed, looking at Chu Tang playfully like a monkey, and seemed to be very interested in Chu Tang who came from the barren mountains and wilderness at first glance, indeed, in the entire Falling Rain City, only Chu Tang was dressed so shabby, like a mud chicken in a phoenix's nest.

was humiliated by everyone, Chu Tang's anger was even worse, he didn't know why these people came to mock him for no reason, could it be that he was born poor and poor, so he should be insulted?

......

"He once helped me once, and today I brought him to the awakening ceremony to return the favor. Li Fei hurriedly said out loud, and immediately identified the relationship with Chu Tang, in her heart, it would make her very embarrassed to have a relationship with Chu Tang, and even when she spoke, she didn't dare to say that Chu Tang was her life-saving benefactor, but just said that she had done a favor.

"What? He's here to participate in the awakening ceremony? No kidding, bloodline awakening can only be successful if people with noble blood flowing in their bodies will succeed, and a pariah like him who doesn't know which ravine also wants to awaken the bloodline? Second Miss Li Jia, he is ignorant, are you also confused?" someone in the crowd shouted in surprise, as if they thought that Chu Tang's participation in the awakening was a big joke.

Li Fei felt even more embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said: "I said, I just returned his favor, no matter whether he succeeds or not! Also, I know better than anyone the result of his awakening, because he was not only born poor, but he is fifteen years old this year!"

"Huh, over the age limit for awakening?"

"This, hahaha, he's really an idiot, and he doesn't look in the mirror to see himself, and his status as a savage is just that, and he's still an overage savage......"

"I want to wake up beyond the age limit, this kind of idiotic idea is really worthy of his identity. ”

The wanton ridicule around came, and the sound was like an awl inserted into Chu Tang's heart.

He was angry, but he didn't know how to show his anger, more importantly, he felt very incomprehensible, he didn't understand, these people obviously didn't know each other, but they insulted him so unscrupulously.

"Just because I'm poor, do I have to be insulted so casually? It seems that if you don't set foot on the martial arts, it will be difficult to turn over for the rest of your life, these people ......"

Chu Tang thought in his heart, raised his head, his eyes scanned the audience with a hint of anger, and swept over the faces of those who wantonly insulted him, as if he wanted to keep all these people in his heart.

He looked quite calm, but his heart was burning with anger, and anyone who was insulted by a group of strangers who thought they were noble couldn't really be as calm as water, so Chu Tang was angry and secretly wrote down these people, thinking about settling accounts in the future, because he knew that he didn't have the strength to fight against these people now, and his impulsiveness would only make him suffer more insults.

"Hey, let's take a look, there's someone on the altar of awakening!" someone suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, the attention of the crowd shifted from Chu Tang's body to the altar in the center of the square.

Chu Tang was no exception, and he also looked at the crowd.

I saw that in the middle of the square, there was a majestic altar with ninety-nine steps, and this altar looked magnificent, as if it had inherited the luck of heaven and earth.

At this moment, a young man who had just turned thirteen slowly climbed the altar, and after reaching the top, he took blood and sprinkled it, and the blood flowed onto the dense road patterns carved on the altar, fading little by little and finally disappearing without a trace.

At this moment, everyone stared at the altar and silently counted the time in their hearts.

"One, two...... Three!"

"It's over, it didn't work out. ”

After the blood is absorbed by the altar, if the altar can't be made to shine and cause a vision in the next few breaths, it means that the awakening has failed, and it means that a lifetime of ordinary.

I saw the young man standing on the altar, his face turned pale in an instant, and his body swayed, as if he couldn't accept the result and was going to pass out.

With a plop, the young man couldn't bear it after all, and his body collapsed and he fell unconscious on the altar.

Soon, two middle-aged people rushed up in a panic and took the young man away.

"Alas, every time there are people who can't stand it and pass out in a coma......"

"Needless to say, when we first woke up, we weren't much better than him. ”

There was a flurry of discussion in the crowd, but it was fleeting, because soon another teenager took the stage.

But the result was still the same, failure, and then the boy left in a daze.

The third person, the fourth person...... Eleventh person.

Failure, failure, all failure.

Gradually, an unusually gloomy sense of heaviness enveloped the audience, there were too many people who failed, and the important thing is that until now, there is not even a single person who has successfully awakened.

This made all the teenagers who were waiting for the awakening, especially Chu Tang, nervous to a limit, only to see him clenching his fists, and constantly thinking in his heart: "All of them who are at the right age have failed, I have exceeded the age limit, can I really succeed?"

Just as he was thinking, another teenager took the stage.

Originally, everyone didn't care, but the sudden light on the altar suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that at the top of the altar, a burst of white light was bright, and the light gathered into a cluster, and after a while, three dazzling light clusters were completely formed, floating above the young man's head.

"Haha, it's done, finally someone has successfully awakened!"

"Three light groups, this is a three-grade qualification, ho, at least you can become a third-level martial artist with a thousand catties!"

"This young man's father seems to be just a seller of baked cakes, and now the court is going to become richer. ”

"I've had a few encounters with his father, and it just so happens that my daughter is the right age, and I'll go as soon as I get back. ”

"You, your daughter is not a martial artist, your daughter used to look down on others, but now people may not look down on your daughter. ”

The crowd was amazed, as long as he became a martial artist, his identity immediately changed, from an ordinary person to a high-ranking martial arts monk, one person can reach a thousand armies, and any ordinary person must be treated respectfully when he sees it.

In the eyes of outsiders, the noble martial artists are also divided into strong and weak, from low to high, the martial artists are divided into nine levels, the first level is the weakest, and the ninth level is the strongest, and when awakening, the talent of the martial artist can be judged from the number of light clusters.

One light group has the weakest talent, and nine light groups are the strongest, and as for the boy with three light groups, his qualifications are not bad.

"Is this awakening?" Chu Tang stared at the young man on the stage with big eyes, his expression was indescribably envious, although he didn't understand what the specific benefits were, but he could feel it only through the attitudes of the people around him, after awakening, it would really be different.

"Someone else went up. There was a sudden shout from the crowd, and Chu Tang immediately looked back to his senses.

I saw that what came out this time was a young man in brocade, who seemed to be from a wealthy background, and his identity gave people a very unusual feeling.

"Ah, miss, it's Young Master Zhao Lu, your fiancé!" next to him, the maid of the Li family suddenly shouted.

Chu Tang turned his head to look, only to see that the face of the Li family's maid was full of excitement, and Li Fei, the second lady of the Li family, did not look calm, and looked at the young man in front of him expectantly.

"Zhao Lu, the heir of the Zhao family among the three top families in our Falling Rain City, right?"

"Yes, it is the people of the Zhao family, I heard that although this Zhao Lu is not a relative of the Zhao family, he is only a sideline, but he has been very talented in cultivation since he was a child, and he has a very good grasp of martial arts posture, and he should be able to awaken. ”

There was a whisper from the crowd.

"Zhang Lu, Li Fei's fiancé?" Chu Tang raised his eyebrows, because of his dislike for Li Fei, he couldn't have a good impression of this Zhao Lu.

Swish!

Suddenly, the altar was blazing with white light.

Immediately, the people around them all looked surprised.

"Seven, seven light clusters, this is the seven-grade qualification?!"

"As long as you work hard, you can become a seventh-level martial artist at the very least, how strong is a seventh-level martial artist, I calculate...... With a wave of his hand, it seems that he has a power of no less than 5,000 catties. ”

"In other words, when this Zhao Lu grows up in the future, he can shoot us all to death with a wave of his hand?"

"Not bad......"

The crowd sighed for a while, feeling that while the warrior was powerful, it was more of an indescribable envy, in their eyes, the warrior was a god-like existence.

"Miss, this is very good, Young Master Zhao Lu will be a seventh-level martial artist at least in the future, you, you make a marriage contract with him, it is really the wisest choice!" shouted in the Li family's voice.

"Huh. The second lady of the Li family also smiled from ear to ear, and nodded again and again.

"It's, it's great. The maid of the Li family was still chattering, and after speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Chu Tang and said: "Hmph, have you seen it, what is the dragon and phoenix among people?" Look at Young Master Zhao Lu, and then look at you, you are shabby, you don't know how thick the sky is, and you are still delusional about being able to awaken when you are overage, not to mention that you can't wake up at all, even if you wake up, can you still be stronger than Young Master Zhao Lu?"

The sharp words made Chu Tang hear a harsh sound, and he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, gritting his teeth fiercely, he forcibly endured the shame and unwillingness in his heart, and looked forward again.

I saw another teenager next and slowly stepped onto the stage.

As soon as the young man walked out of the crowd, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience, only to see that the person was dressed in a luxurious velvet robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his aura was lofty.

"This, this is the grandson of the Zhao family, Zhao Qianyi!"

"The three top families, the descendants of the Zhao family?

"Yes, it is the cousin of Zhao Lu just now, the real core heir of the Zhao family, Zhao Qianyi!"

The crowd was stunned for a while, the three top families in Falling Rain City, the Zhao family, the Qian family, and the Sun family, were all mysterious and powerful overlord families in the eyes of the crowd, because the bloodline tradition of these three families was very strong, and there were many martial artists, and they were many times stronger than Li Fei's Li family.

"Zhao Qianyi is on stage!"

"He's going to try to wake up, look!"

The countless crowds below immediately held their breath, their eyes filled with endless anticipation.

Chu Tang also turned his head to look, and as soon as he turned his head, he didn't even see the figure clearly, and his eyes were stung by a burst of heroic light that came up next.

The light on the altar is incomparably magnificent and dazzling.

On the top of Zhao Qianyi's head, nine light clusters were suspended high, like nine suns, surrounding Zhao Qianyi's body.

"God, Jiupin qualification!"

"Nine Light Clusters...... The strongest Nine Rank bloodline!"

"It is worthy of Zhao Qiangongzi, this talent ...... Absolutely top, the highest level of the Nine Rank bloodline, he will definitely be able to become the genius of the strongest Ninth Rank Martial Artist!"

All the onlookers, whether they were teenagers or wealthy businessmen and nobles watching from the sidelines, were all boiling at this moment.

In Chu Tang's gaze.

I saw Zhao Qianyi, who was dressed in white and had a jade face, standing proudly on the rooftop, staring at the proud aura of the nine-grade qualification, and indifferently glancing at the people below.

It seemed that he saw Chu Tang, the most shabby and the most special in the crowd, Zhao Ganyi couldn't help but glance at Chu Tang more, and then looked away without any emotion.

Chu Tang's breath stagnated, just now in Zhao Qianyi's gaze, he felt a kind of coldness and weakness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and more felt Zhao Qianyi's disdain for him, disdain that could not be refuted, just like a giant dragon looking down on an ant.

"Look down on me, here, all the people, all look down on me......"

Suddenly, Chu Tang didn't know where a thick anger surged from in his heart.

I saw him stretch out his hand and push away a big man who was in front of him: "Get out of the way." ”

"Yo, what do you want to do little beggar?"

"Is he, a savage, going to wake up too?"

The crowd looked at each other, and the air paused slightly for a few seconds, and then the entire space was filled with mocking laughter.

"Hahaha, I don't know which wild man from the field also wants to awaken the bloodline!"

"He's even older than the age of awakening. ”

"After overage, even if he is replaced by Zhao Qianyi, he will not succeed, not to mention this wild man, I really don't know if he is stupid or naïve. ”

"It's just an idiot, Zhao Qianyi has just woken up, he is going up, does he want to set off how dazzling Zhao Gongzi is?"

Full of disdain and disdainful laughter, like a howling wind, it went straight into Chu Tang's heart, especially after the name Zhao Qianyi fell on Chu Tang's heart, which made him feel that his steps were extremely heavy......

He didn't even know if he could awaken, let alone reach the same height as Zhao Qianyi......

"Even if you fail, you have to try before you can believe it...... No matter how much you insult me, I will never back down!"

Chu Tang's expression suddenly became determined, and a pair of eyes crossed the crowd and stared straight at the altar in the distance.
