Text: Chapter 9: The Test of Vitality

After listening to the story told by Xinling, Ling Feng gave the little girl a satisfactory answer: "You just take me around, I mainly want to see the customs of this continent, and I won't embarrass you, go to any forbidden place of the Ling family."

Xin Ling nodded, stood behind Ling Feng and said, "Childe, why don't you go to the Ling family's martial arts arena, today is the Ling family's vitality test, where are the people of the entire Ling family, and today is lively." The little face looked at Ling Feng with anticipation.

Ling Feng nodded, and under the leadership of Xin Ling, he came to the Ling family's martial arts arena, at this time, the entire field was full of black heads, Ling Feng chose a place to stand on the side, and observed carefully.

Many people in the square were chatting in whispers, and Ling Feng's arrival caused some people to look over, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy said curiously: "No, you see, this is that outsider, why is his hair so short, I heard that he also saved our young master."

His voice suddenly made the few people in front of him turn their heads to look here, and one of them, a white-robed young man wearing the word Ling, glanced at him with disdain, "Cut, I heard Hong Di say that with his shit luck, he defeated the two inferior disciples of the Demon Sect, and he came to our Ling family to eat and live for nothing" The voice was not very loud. But it spread throughout the martial arts arena.

Ling Fengping looked at it, this person's face was clear and beautiful, but it gave him the feeling that this person lacked a sense of masculinity, and Xin Ling behind him pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Childe, this is the only son of the second elder, called Ling Xiazuo, I heard that last year was the ninefold realm of martial arts, and he was the most promising young generation of the Ling family to open up his vitality, and he had more weight in the Ling family than some elders, so don't worry about him, lest he target you."

Ling Xiazuo saw Xin Ling behind Ling Feng at this time, his face turned straight, and he shouted: "Bold, who gave you the courage to come to the martial arts arena, why don't you go back quickly, and go to Steward Hong to receive the punishment yourself, otherwise Young Master Ben will take your life if he makes a move."

The little girl's face changed suddenly, she hurriedly knelt down, and replied in a low voice: "Young Master Xia Zuo, the slave maid was arranged by Steward Hong to take Ling Gongzi around to visit the Ling family, please let Young Master Xia Zuo spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid will not dare next time."

Ling Feng took a step forward, blocked the little girl behind him, and was about to speak, when he saw another eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, also wearing a white robe with the word Ling, came to Ling Feng's side, looked at Ling Xia Zuo coldly, and said:

"Ling Xiazuo, you have such a big breath, Ling Gongzi was on Fengling Island one day, saved me and the three elders, several elders of the family regarded Ling Gongzi as a distinguished guest, let us see Ling Gongzi Don't be lazy, you are good, put on this posture, what do you mean? Don't you take our Ling family's family rules into account?"

Then he turned his head to Ling Feng and said, "Young Master Ling, thank you for the rescue one day, my name is Ling Tian, my father is the current patriarch of the Ling family: Ling Zhen, the juniors of the family don't know how to be polite, and I hope that Ling Gongzi will forgive me."

Ling Feng hugged his fists and said: "Tiangongzi bothered, I just came here, and I really didn't do anything, but the road conditions are unfamiliar, and I am afraid of trespassing, so I asked Xinling to take me around, so don't embarrass her."

Ling Tian replied: "Leading the way for Ling Gongzi is our basic hospitality, Xinling has done a good job, when the test is over, I will go to Steward Hong's place, let him avoid Xinling's other chores, and concentrate on serving Ling Gongzi."

"Ling Tian, even if you are the young patriarch, you don't have the right now, so casually give a maid of the Ling family to an outsider, without the consent of the elders and patriarchs of the family, are you going to seize power?" Ling Xiazuo grabbed it, looked directly at Ling Tian, and by the way, he glanced at Xin Ling twice, and a trace of evil light flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph, Ling Xiazuo, I think you have such an idea, my father and the third elder had already instructed me about this before I came, let me visit Ling Gongzi after the test is over" Ling Tian also looked directly at Ling Xiazuo, staring at him without blinking.

At this time, the sound of the Xiwu platform in the middle of the square sounded, everyone turned their heads, and Peng Bai looked at the place, only to see a burly middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and sword eyes, wearing a white robe with a golden Ling character, sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle of the Xiwu platform, next to him sat a white-haired old man, wearing a white robe with red Ling characters, and four people wearing silver Ling characters on each side, old men and middle-aged people.

The square fell silent all of a sudden, and only the middle-aged man sitting in the middle made a voice, which rang out in the square: "Today, it is our Ling family's triennial vitality test, fourteen to twenty years old, all come to the martial arts platform, read the name and step forward to urge the true qi, and put their hands against the test stone" Ling Zhen pointed to a one-zhang high white stone pillar next to him, and said loudly.

"The first one, Ling Xiazuo, go on stage to test," Steward Hong called the name, Ling Xiazuo came to the stage, his hands against the white stone pillar, a silver light, from the bottom of the stone pillar lit up more than three inches high, Steward Hong, who presided over the Yuan Qi test, said loudly: "Yuan Qi Triple Heaven, great joy, the Ling family has another Yuan, please go to the elder to receive the reward."

There was a boiling voice in the audience, "Young Master Ling Xia Zuo is really powerful, he jumped directly to the Yuan Triple Heaven."

"Yes, Xia Zuogongzi's first vitality test is so powerful, he is worthy of being the first person of the younger generation of the Ling family."

"The second, Ling Tian, go to the stage to test, Vitality Triple Heaven, Great Joy, go to the elder to receive the reward" Ling Tian's bright silver light had just reached three inches.

"The third, Ling Hong, go to the stage to test, the Triple Heaven of Vitality, go to the elder to receive the reward."

"Next, Ling Shi, go on stage to test, the Yuan Qi pillar is dim, but he is still young, continue to practice, and there will be another chance in three years, step aside. ”

"Next, Ling Yingxue, Vitality Duotian, go to the elder to receive the reward"

"Next, Ling Mei, the Yuan Qi pillar is dim, and the second test has not yet opened the Yuan Qi, so I will report to the outside door of the Ling family." A girl about twenty years old shook her head and walked out of the martial arts arena in a dull manner.

In Steward Hong's roll call one by one, the test was carried out until the afternoon, and the Ling family tested nearly five hundred young juniors, and only nine of them had opened the vitality.

"The last one, Ling Yun, go to the stage to test, the Triple Heaven of Vitality, go to the elder to receive the reward, today's test conference is over, those who test out the Vitality, tomorrow they will come here for a family competition" Steward Hong sipped his saliva, and his throat was about to smoke at this time.

"Can you wait, I, I, I also want to test it" As soon as Steward Hong's words fell, in the northeast corner of the stage, Yingying's whisper sounded, Ling Feng blinked his eyes, and saw a person dressed in a simple and white green dress, without any beads on his head, a delicate little face, a small and delicate figure, with her firm gaze, the whole person looked simple and holy.

"Ling Yue, you cheap breed also want to test, if it weren't for your father losing the family's sword technique and divine sword, how could our Ling family have produced these few energetic people in the past twenty years?" Ling Xiazuo glanced at Ling Yue and sneered.

Ling Tian was angry, and was about to step forward to speak, but was stopped by his father's eyes, at this time, Xi Wutai was sitting in the left row, and the first elder spoke: "Ling Aotian and the daughter of the evil sect, our Ling family did not pinch to death back then, it was already benevolent and righteous, and now we have come to make trouble with the test conference, within three breaths, do not return to the slave room, and do not blame my law enforcement hall to enforce the family law."

"Uncles, Ling Yue apologized to everyone on behalf of his father" After speaking, he knelt down to the elders on the stage, and gave a side bow to everyone on the field, and then said: "I have been sent to the slave room since I was a child, I don't blame, I have no regrets for atoning for my father, I muster up the courage to test today, if the test is successful, I will better fight for resources and status for the family in the future, so that it is better to atone for my father, and I can also see my father, please the patriarch and the elders are fulfilled" After speaking, he knelt straight in front of the stage and did not move, slightly bowing his head and listening to the echoes around him.

After listening to Ling Yue's words, the second elder's heart trembled, and he said secretly: "Ling Aotian, a genius of Tianzhong, was so terrible back then, and it was finally locked up, after I came out, my position can be guaranteed, let alone the position of the patriarch., now this cheap slave still wants to save him?" ”

Some of the nine elders on the stage twisted their beards, some frowned, and some looked at the second elder, seeing that the second elder Ling Xuan turned sideways and did not accept Ling Yue's salute, none of the elders on the stage spoke, and no one in the audience spoke.

At this time, the third elder spoke: "Ling Yue, you get up first, the patriarch will definitely agree to you about the test" After saying this, he glanced at the patriarch, and seeing that the other party did not react, he frowned and sat back on the Taishi chair.

Second Elder Ling Xuan, who didn't seem to see Ling Yue's actions, spoke: "Remind you again, two breaths have passed, and the last breath time has not yet gone out, don't blame me for enforcing the family law." ”

Ling Yue looked up at the patriarch Ling Zhen, only to see Ling Zhen on the armrest of the Taishi chair with one hand, his fingers tapping on the armrest, looking at the ground, silent, Ling Yue instantly understood that it was useless to ask for truth now, and he could only rely on himself.

Ling Yue got up, walked quickly to the test column, stretched out his hands and was about to stick them up, about three feet away from the test column, a pair of palms suddenly imprinted on Ling Yue's chest.

"Poof" Ling Yue flew upside down, his body parallel to the ground, flying in the direction of Ling Feng, sprinkling a stream of blood in the air.

At the same time, Ling Xiazuo's voice came: "Who gave you the courage of this slut, and you still dare to break into the test conference, is the vitality test something that you can test as a slave and a slut, dare to ignore my Ling family's family rules?"

In the morning, a slave maid did not abide by the family rules, and the young master was generous, and now you are an unruly slave, and today the young master will break you, so that you slaves can see what will happen if you don't abide by the rules of the Ling family, and see who dares to ignore the rules of my Ling family in the future."
