A golden life and death form was pasted on the hanging beam of the central ring in the ancient city, so conspicuous that it attracted the attention of countless people.

The ancient city competition every three years is about to start in seven days, and the highlight of this competition is nothing more than the life-and-death battle between Xing Yu and Wang Xiao.

Almost the entire ancient city of monks was attracted, and the major forces were very concerned.

The Ancient City Contest is co-hosted by various forces, and its purpose is to show their own strength through the competition of juniors.

At the same time, you can also select potential teenagers and recruit them to their own families for cultivation, after all, fresh blood is the driving force of each force.

And every year the final battle will fall between the three major forces, and the first person in the ring in the last session is Xing Yu's eldest brother Xing Lie.

In addition to the huge prizes, the stakes of the various forces are even more impressive.

"That Xingyu is really beyond his strength, he dares to sign a life and death certificate, and his head is in the water?"

"There's no way, I've been forced to a dead end, and the face of the torturer who shouldn't be fighting anymore will be lost by him. ”

"Maybe he has regained his former strength and turned the situation around. ”

Wang Xiao and Xing Yu signed a life and death certificate, which caused a sensation in the ancient city, and for a while it became a topic of conversation after everyone's tea and dinner, and people discussed it in groups of three or five.

But most of them are not optimistic about Xing Yu, after all, he has withered and lost his former demeanor, and this is just a humiliation for himself.

"Xiaoyu, you are too impulsive, that Wang Xiao is ruthless, and he will definitely not give up when the time comes. ”

In the hall of the criminal family, Xing Yan's personality was the most hot, and when he learned that Xing Yu had signed a life and death certificate without authorization, he scolded him for being reckless.

Xing Yu smiled slightly, looking at Xing Lie's anxious appearance, a warmth rose in his heart.

"Is it a restoration of cultivation?"

Xing Yan on the side frowned and asked, compared to Xing Lie, he seemed very calm, knowing that Xing Yu was not an impulsive person, and he would not kill himself in confusion.

"Recovered somewhat. ”

Xing Yu nodded, but didn't say much.

"Do you really want to participate in the Ancient City Competition and fight Wang Xiao to the death?"

At the top, Xing Yu's father, Xing Aotian, looked at Xing Yu and asked solemnly.

"Didn't you say that since there are some things that cannot be avoided, you must face them bravely, who called me surnamed Xing. ”

Xing Yu looked at Xing Aotian, his eyes were bright, and he had a confident smile on his face.

"Okay, since you have made up your mind, your father will not stop you, I will only tell you, let it go, what happens to your father to block you. ”

Xing Aotian looked at Xing Yu's eyes and saw something from them, not to persuade, but to say such things.

"Thank you, father, if there is nothing wrong, I will go down first. ”

Xing Yu's heart warmed again, this is home, there is a group of relatives who spare no effort to support you, these are the people he will protect at the cost of his life.

"Go ahead. ”

Everyone watched Xing Yu leave, and his thin back looked a little lonely under the candlelight.

Enduring years of ridicule alone, falling from a genius to a mediocrity, for a young and vigorous teenager, is extremely cruel.

Xing Yu did not complain about this, and endured it silently, suffering the white eyes of passers-by, and enduring the cynicism of the younger generation.

Growing up alone in extreme depression, slowly, Xing Yu became unsmiling, wrapping himself in the abyss, feeling darkness and loneliness.

Although the process was extremely bitter, it also brought a lot to Xingyu, and over the years, he learned to be calm, learned to be strong, and learned to keep a low profile.

These are not comparable to cultivation, and they can be regarded as a valuable asset.

Fortunately, there is also Ling Shan silently accompanied, and his father and second uncle are both presiding over the City Lord's Mansion, and things big and small are constant.

The eldest brother and second brother trained soldiers secretly in addition to cultivation, and rarely went home, and Xiaoxue was also taken away very early, so Ling Shan was by Xing Yu's side all these years.

Thinking back to Ling Shan's shy appearance in the morning, Xing Yu's heart was warm, such a beautiful and agile girl, she didn't care about Xing Yu's identity all these years.

accompanied him to bear everyone's contempt, and always comforted Xing Yu when he was lost, like a bright light, so that Xing Yu could stick to his heart and not go astray.

"Shan'er, thank you for your unwavering companionship over the years, I will definitely make you happy, and when the ancient city competition is over, I will go to propose, and I will give you the best of everything." ”

Xing Yu sat on the big rock in the back mountain, caught in the past bit by bit, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a happy smile.

A little bit of stars into the body, so far, Xing Yu has become accustomed to the power of the stars, although he doesn't know the mystery, but it is by no means a bad thing.

Feeling the slowly improving cultivation, Xing Yu revealed his long-lost self-confidence, and a sense of battle filled his heart.

Thinking of the upcoming battle of life and death, the blood is boiling, and there is some anticipation.

"Wang Xiao's cultivation is in the middle of the third level, a little higher than me, if you want to defeat him, you can only find a breakthrough in martial arts, it seems that you have to pay close attention to the cultivation of 'Seven Consecutive Slashes'. ”

Xing Yu stood up, and he found that as long as it was at night, there was no need for him to deliberately absorb it, and the power of the stars slowly flowed into his body.

Therefore, even if he doesn't cultivate, his cultivation is growing steadily, which is one of the horrors of the stars entering the body.

Not counting today, there are still six days left in the Ancient City Competition, so there is not much time left in Xingyu, and he needs to hurry up and cultivate.

didn't go to the martial arts training room, Xing Yu was alone in the back mountain, and began to practice with the help of the bright starlight.

"Seven consecutive slashes. ”

A punch was swung, and five double images appeared, as if five punches were punched in an instant, and finally reached one point at the same time.

Boom.

A poplar tree with the thickness of a water tank in front of him was broken by Xing Yu's punch, and a shocking hole was reflected in front of him.

"It's not enough, go on. ”

Xing Yu became more and more excited and continued to swing his fists.

Bang bang bang.

Everyone was asleep, but Xing Yu was selfless in his cultivation, all for the battle of life and death six days later.

At this time, it was late at night, Xing Yu was sweating profusely and leaning against the boulder, and the fifth cut finally solidified, but the sixth cut never appeared.

The last two Stored Spirit Pills have been exhausted, and the Yuan Power has been exhausted, and it cannot be replenished, which means that the cultivation is terminated.

"I always feel like something is missing, what is it?"

Xing Yu found the problem, but he couldn't tell what it was, and he was racking his brains to figure it out.

"By the way, that procrastinating old man must have a great background, go ask him tomorrow. ”

Xing Yu thought of the procrastinating old man who gave him martial arts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was eccentric, and it was by no means as simple as it seemed.

A burst of fatigue came, Xing Yu was not forced, returned to the house to rest, and prepared to go to the old man tomorrow, maybe he could find a solution.

Xing Yu slept very hard this night, knowing that he only woke up at noon, he washed up casually, got up and walked towards Li Ji.

Sure enough, before he could get to the front, Xing Yu saw the procrastinating old man again, leaning lazily on the stone steps, with dirty hair and an empty wine jar in his hand.

"Old man, the martial arts you gave me are very powerful, but the back is difficult to cultivate, do you know how to do it?"

Xing Yu couldn't wait to squat down and ask the old man with a sincere face.

"Huh?"

The old man opened his eyes, still a little sleepy, looking at Xing Yu's anxious appearance, and smiled.

"I don't know. ”

The old man turned over, didn't pay attention to Xingyu, the wine jar in his hand fell, and rolled far away.

"Hey, old man, I'm really in a hurry, tell me quickly. ”

Xing Yu pushed the old man, and was a little frustrated when he saw that he ignored him.

"Not available. ”

The old man twisted his body and changed to a comfortable position, while smacking his mouth a few times.

Xing Yu stood up helplessly, looked at the old man on the ground, and frowned.

"Oh?"

Xing Yu regained his composure, looked at the wine jar that rolled down to the side, and smiled when he saw the old man's mouth.

"Uncle Li, come to the two altars for a long time, and prepare a table of good dishes. ”

Xing Yu walked to the restaurant and said to the shopkeeper Li in the house.

"Okay. ”

Shopkeeper Li readily agreed, brought two jars of wine, and then turned around to cook.

Xing Yu smiled slightly, picked up a jar of wine, and turned to walk towards the old man.

"On this hot day, it's so refreshing to drink some wine to drive away the heat. ”

Xing Yu deliberately raised his voice, tore open the seal paper on the wine jar, and smacked two mouthfuls, and then smashed his tongue, deliberately making a pleasant appearance.

"Well, there's wine. ”

The old man, who was still asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and his seemingly thin body straightened up instantly.

"Bring it. ”

The old man stared directly at the wine jar in Xing Yu's hand, and asked for it as a matter of course.

"Why?"

Xing Yu hurriedly dodged, looking at the anxious appearance of the procrastinating old man with a smile.

"Then do you want to practice the martial arts in the future?"

The old man glanced at Xingyu and said lightly.

"Of course. Xing Yu immediately squatted down, very eager.

"Ahem......"

The old man stopped talking, and his eyes glanced at the wine jar in Xing Yu's hand, with obvious intentions.

"Let's go, the juniors invite the seniors to have a few drinks. ”

Xing Yu understood, hurriedly handed the wine to the old man, and then said flatteringly.

"You know each other, huh. ”

The old man took the wine jar confidently, couldn't wait to take a few big sips, and then was helped up by Xing Yu and walked to Li Ji Restaurant.

"Tell me quickly, how to cultivate?"

At this time, the meal had not yet been served, and Xing Yu stared at the old man, also very eager.

"'Xingchen Jue' is different from other martial arts, and it takes two points to succeed in cultivation. ”

The old man said unhurriedly and took another sip of wine.

"Which two?"

"One is to cultivate the power of the stars, and you have this point. ”

The old man glanced at it lightly.

"How do you know that I have cultivated the power of the stars?"

Xing Yu was shocked when he heard this, his eyes flashed, staring at the old man, and he was even more convinced that he was not a simple old man.

"Because you asked me how to cultivate in the future, it means that you have mastered the previous one, so I said that you have the power of the stars. ”

The old man said casually, it seemed that what he said was reasonable, but Xing Yu knew that it was just a perfunctory gesture.

But since the old man didn't want to mention his identity, he didn't want to ask more.

"And what about the second point?"

"The second point is to have a strong body. ”

"I have that, too. ”

Xing Yu frowned and said, he has always paid attention to physical training, and his physique is very strong.

"It's not enough. ”

"But I'm running out of time now, do you have any quick fixes?"

Xing Yu asked hopefully.

"Yes, yes, but I don't know if you dare to try it, because it's not only painful, but also extremely dangerous. ”

"I want to try. ”

Xing Yu didn't want to give up, although he didn't know the old man's method, he was willing to try it.

"Well, tomorrow when it's raining, you'll come here to find me. ”

The old man's cloudy eyes glanced at Xing Yu, revealing a smile rather than a smile.

"Good. ”

Xing Yu decisively agreed.

"The dish is coming. ”

Shopkeeper Li brought delicious dishes, Xing Yu and the old man were not talking about martial arts, they drank and talked together, like friends who had forgotten their years.

Xing Yu is also looking forward to tomorrow's physical training.
