People come and go, laughter, no wars, no disasters, life is so peaceful and contentment, what a prosperous Prayer Empire! It is located in the southern region of the Tianling Continent ------ this continent, although it is not a big empire, it has four major families, all of them are born geniuses, and they are outstanding in the four aspects of military, construction, resources, and diplomacy, which makes the Prayer Empire the most powerful empire although it is not the largest empire in the southern region of the Tianling Continent!

At this time, in the very middle of this Prayer Empire, on the busiest street------

"Boss, how do you sell this fish?" asked a cute little boy. He looked at the dozen or so fish swimming in the basin, so alive.

"Hey, guest officer, these are our newest Crimson Rank Spirit Beasts, the Blue Scale Blue Fish. One sells for only two silver coins. The fish-buyer smiled treacherously, and looked disgusting.

Spirit beasts are unique to this continent, which are formed by ordinary beasts that absorb the spiritual power on the continent, and become stronger by absorbing spiritual power, and some wisdom can practice like a human, and finally cultivate into a human form. And Chimang, that is, their class, their class from low to high are Chimang, Qingjue, Disha, Tianling, and Lingyu.

Spirit beasts are very common in this continent, most of the spirit beasts can sign contracts with people and become people's partners, and a small part, because of brutality and killing the same kind, will become monsters, there is no wisdom, but the strength will be much stronger than the spirit beasts of the same level.

"You're too expensive, aren't you! You only need one silver coin, two silver coins anywhere else?! Don't think I'm a child to be fooled!" cried the little boy a little angrily.

The treacherous smile disappeared immediately, "Hey, stinky little ghost, don't call if you can't afford it, go away! Don't get in the way of my business!" The people around him slowly gathered and pointed, but none of them stepped forward to reason.

"What's going on?" a kind old man walked out of the crowd.

"Grandpa, I want to decorate the pond at home, but this fish is too expensive! The little boy pointed to the fish in the basin and said helplessly.

"Okay, Xiao Yi, don't make trouble, grandpa will buy it for you. As he spoke, the old man took out a gold coin, "I want all these fish." ”

The fish-buying merchant quickly accepted the gold coin, and once again a wicked smile appeared on his face, "Okay, guest officer, these fish will all be sold to you." With that, he waved his hand, and all the fish flew out of the water and into a piece of jade.

This is the unique power ------ spiritual power on this continent! It is like a part of people's lives, everyone can use it as they want, and the amount of spiritual power depends on their usual cultivation and their own spiritual energy. Psionic energy, as the name suggests, is the ability of spiritual power. Everyone's psionic abilities are different, and the rarity and strength of psionic abilities can determine your status, power, and money on this continent.

It seemed that the matter was settled, and the crowd dispersed.

"Okay, Xiao Yi, the fish has also been bought, let's go back. The old man said.

"Alright, then let's go!" replied the boy, glaring at the fishmer.

They hadn't gone far, but the fish-buyer was holding the gold coin, and a golden light shot out of the gold coin, and a row of words appeared out of thin air, and he looked at the words and turned his head to look at the back that was slowly moving away.

-------- Shangguan Pavilion, located in the eastern part of the Qiling Empire, is one of the four major families, in charge of the country's military, and also involves some important buildings of the empire.

Needless to say, the owner of Shangguan Pavilion is Shangguan Yi and his grandfather Shangguan Longxiang, Shangguan Yi's mother ----- Shu Ximo died a week after he was born, so he has no impression, and his father, in his memory, has never even seen him, and he doesn't even know what his name is, as if he doesn't have it at all. His grandfather is also the general of the Qiling Empire, and he usually goes in and out of the palace every day for official business, so there is almost only Shangguan Yi at home, so he has been independent since he was a child, and often helps Shangguan Longxiang take care of the affairs of Shangguan Pavilion.

"Grandpa, isn't it too cheap for that fish seller just now?" you know, a gold coin is worth a hundred silver coins!" Shangguan Yi asked, his displeasure could be clearly heard from his tone.

On this continent, the most important currency is copper coins, one hundred copper coins are equivalent to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins are equivalent to one gold coin, and a normal family, the daily expenditure is about fifty copper coins, a little more, nearly two gold coins a year, that is to say, the profiteer who bought fish just now, only thirteen or four fish, in exchange for half a year's living expenses.

"It's okay, as long as Xiao Yi likes it, the amount of money is not a problem," the old man touched Shangguan Yi's head, "Oh, I forgot to give you a gift for your birthday before, this jade pendant is for you, but you remember, you must carry this jade pendant with you, and you can't easily show it to others!" The old man admonished, his expression became very serious, and there was no kindness before.

Shangguan Yi took the jade pendant and wanted to ask something more, but when he saw his grandfather's serious expression, he didn't dare to ask more.

"Okay, it's okay, you go out. The old man turned around as he spoke, waved his hand, and motioned for Shangguan Yi to go out.

"Oh, goodbye grandpa!" Shangguan Yi looked at his grandfather's appearance, didn't want to stay long, pinned the jade pendant to his waist, covered it with clothes, and then prepared to go out.

After walking out of his grandfather's room, what caught his eye was the martial arts training ground facing the door, this is the place where Shangguan Pavilion specializes in cultivating elite soldiers, although it can only accommodate three hundred people to train, but the elite soldiers trained here can all fight against a hundred ordinary soldiers in this Prayer Spirit Empire. Because they have reached the Spirit Master level!

The spiritual level, that is, the level of spiritual energy, has a total of ten levels, which are soldiers, divisions, soldiers, generals, kings, emperors, emperors, immortals, spirits, and gods. Eight times per order. Every time you want to raise a weight, the difficulty will be a few points more than the difficulty of reaching the previous one, and each time you want to rise a weight, your own strength will also increase exponentially.

In the southern region of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, the highest known spiritual level was Shangguan Longxiang, the general of the Prayer Spirit Empire, who was Shangguan Yi's grandfather, three years ago, at that time, he already had the strength of the emperor rank, in that era of constant wars and lack of materials, the entire southern region, even the number of people who reached the king level was less than fifty, and the emperor rank was even more than a handful, and it could have that kind of strength, it can be said that it was a respected existence in the southern region, and even the other three domains, the people who reached the emperor level added up, there were more than 20 people. Unfortunately, in a great war at that time, he attacked an empire in the Eastern Regions adjacent to the Prayer Spirit Empire alone, but was defeated miserably and was killed by another Emperor-level spirit and two Emperor-level spirits in the Eastern Regions, thus destroying the spiritual root. Since then, his cultivation has not advanced and pushed back, and in just one month, he only has the strength of the eightfold rank of the king rank. After that, no one heard about his spiritual rank.

Now it was time for the elite soldiers to rest, and now the entire martial arts field was empty, only the four guards standing in front of Shangguan Longxiang's gate were still standing there.

Shangguan Yi walked to the center of the martial arts field, raised his right hand, his bracer suddenly emitted a blue light, and then, a sword appeared in his hand, and then, he skillfully played the sword in his hand, the sword seemed to have life, one after another sword shadows flashed out, dancing in the air, and finally, I saw his hand for a moment, and all the sword shadows gathered in front of him at that moment, and after that, what he did was some basic actions, such as stabbing, splitting, chopping, picking, etc.

After all the basic moves had been done dozens of times, he raised his right hand again, and after a flash of blue light, the sword in his hand was gone, replaced by a bow that was one meter two long and a quiver containing dozens of arrows. Seeing that he had the quiver on his back, facing the five targets in front of him, he held the bow flat in his left hand, took out an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, and put it on the bowstring unhurriedly, and it was full at once, which was enough to fix this state for a minute, and then, as soon as his right hand was released, the arrow flew out at once, accurately piercing into the center of the target, and then, another arrow, another minute, and the middle of the heart.

This is the training that Shangguan Yi will do every day, the basic moves of the sword, maintaining the arm strength of the bowstring, the accuracy of archery, the use of spears and daggers, and practicing those more common weapons. Although practicing these basics is simple and boring, and Shangguan Yi has long mastered them, he has tirelessly persevered and even doubled the amount of training, spending nearly a quarter of his time training every day. This is undoubtedly not the heart and the thing that every twelve-year-old should have. Now, these weapons seem to have grown in his hands, and they are easy to use.

Although Shangguan Longxiang also thought about teaching Shangguan Yi some basic knowledge of psionic energy, the Shangguan Yi he wanted to teach had already finished middle school in the Library, and it was difficult to teach it, but it was not necessary, because Shangguan Yi had not awakened his psionic ability at this time, so he had to continue to arrange such training for him, hoping to improve his physical fitness.

Awakening spiritual energy, generally before the age of twelve, it is almost impossible to awaken after the age of twelve, and the children of the nobles will awaken a little earlier, because their bloodlines are generally relatively pure and there are many pills and the like that can help awaken, but Shangguan Yi has not awakened for a long time, seeing that he only has this last year left, but he himself is not in a hurry, and said that he is just taking care of Shangguan Pavilion.

Just as he was practicing the last weapon, ----- gun, a piercing sound of archery suddenly came from above him, and Shangguan Yi raised his head suddenly, and a rain of arrows appeared in front of him, like a downpour. I saw him raise his spear, alternating his left and right hands to make the spear rotate quickly to block most of the arrows, and finally, holding the spear in his right hand, he slashed violently, blocking the last few arrows coming at him, but behind him, the four guards just now were all counted because they didn't have time to block.

Shangguan Yi looked at the guards who had fallen to the ground behind him, and immediately became vigilant, holding the spear tightly in his right hand, staring at the gate.

As the rain of arrows all landed, a sharp explosion came from the gate, and soldiers in bronze armor rushed in, and the soldiers in front of them pointed their spears at Shangguan Yi. Behind the spearmen, the sword and shield soldiers and archers also held their weapons and stared at Shangguan Yi vigilantly. The originally empty martial arts arena was suddenly packed.

Shangguan Longxiang also walked out at this time because of the restless sound just now, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Shangguan Yi looked around and said coldly, "I don't know what happened to Uncle Pan Yao?"

Pan Yao, the deputy general of the Qiling Empire, that is, Shangguan Longxiang's subordinate, sometimes came to the door to report on the military situation, so he met Shangguan Yi several times. Just when the crowd rushed in, Shangguan Yi immediately let him out.

As soon as the words fell, a man in silver armor walked out of the crowd and glared at Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Longxiang viciously, "Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Longxiang, someone reported that your Shangguan Pavilion is training elite soldiers and preparing to rebel!
