Li Yuan, a madman who pursued immortality all his life, tried to combine ancient Chinese martial arts, monasticism and science, but never succeeded. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wèn Aishang Novel Network)
By chance, during a deep-sea exploration, Li Yuan found a lifelike ** female body in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, which immediately caused a sensation in the world!
The human body, without any protection, dives into the sea at an extreme depth of 237 meters. However, this female body, without any protection, has been well preserved in the deep sea at a depth of more than 58,000 meters. It's hard to imagine what kind of physical strength such a physical strength has reached!
Li Yuanru got the treasure!
In the following years, the madman Li Yuan devoted himself to the study of this female body, and six years later, he finally succeeded in extracting the gene of the female body and cloning a baby boy, and successfully embedded a microbial chip containing Li Yuan's lifelong memories in the brain of the baby boy. Twelve years later, if the baby boy's brain can be fully fused with the biological chip, it will mean the arrival of the era of "immortality", and this young will become the second Li Yuan!
However, at the moment when the memory chip was successfully implanted into the young brain, something unexpected happened......
In the mysterious woman's body, a brilliant essence light suddenly emanated, which directly submerged into the body of the juvenile, and then, the woman's body had a terrifying explosion, which actually tore through the void and created a huge black hole......
Li Yuan, who claimed to be the most fortified room in the world, directly turned into a ruin and turned into nothingness.
No one knew that this baby boy, who had worked hard to concentrate all of Li Yuan's memories, had traveled to a magical world and started a new life.
......
The infinite continent is vast and boundless. This is a world where warriors are rampant, filled with countless empires and powerful forces, as well as some mysterious realms, and there are constant wars all year round, making the status of warriors more and more respectful!
......
"Hi, hey, hi......"
A loud shout, accompanied by gusts of fist wind, resounded on the huge martial arts arena.
Several phalanxes, dozens of boys and girls in each phalanx, tossing and turning, fists are fierce, all full of energy, vigorous and vigorous, neat and consistent movements, punching out, like a dragon going out to sea, an arrow off the string, actually causing air shocks, showing a solid foundation of martial arts.
This is the Xiao family's martial arts arena.
In the center of the martial arts arena, there is an open-air platform two feet high, two flagpoles are inserted on both sides of the high platform, two black and gold-edged flags on the flagpole flutter in the wind, and each flag is embroidered with a big golden character - "Xiao"!
At this time, there was a middle-aged man standing on the high platform, I saw him standing with his hands in his hands, dressed in a purple robe, tall, with a powerful physique, and a pair of eyes exuding a compelling essence, looking down on the crowd under the stage. Standing there like that, it gives people a heavy feeling like a mountain, exuding a powerful coercion!
"Newspaper—"
At this moment, a loud shout came, and a figure came to the high platform like a galloping horse, bowed down, and said loudly: "The head of the sect, a hundred miles of villages and towns, has absorbed a total of 354 children with good qualifications, and now all of them have been brought!"
"Bring it in!"
This middle-aged man is Xiao Guan, the head of the Xiao family's outer disciples.
A moment later, a group of children, who were about ten to thirteen years old, walked in under the leadership of several Xiao family children. Behind them, there were some well-dressed adults, who were basically the parents of these children.
This is a grand event that the Xiao family has to hold every three years in order to strengthen the strength of the family. Again, this is a great event within a 100-mile radius!
Whether it is a poor family or a wealthy family, they all look forward to their children becoming disciples of the Xiao family. Because, once you become a disciple of the Xiao family, it means that you will leap into the dragon gate and get ahead!
This is especially true for poor families!
However, among the disciples that the Xiao family absorbed each time, the ones from poor families were almost extinct. This is not because the recruiters accepted bribes or engaged in favoritism, after all, there is still the fairest test. Actually, the reason is very simple, qualifications!
The so-called qualifications are nothing more than mental and physical conditions.
Because of this, it is difficult for the children of the poor to be selected by the Xiao family. Let me ask, can a child who has not even had enough to eat since he was a child be in good physical condition? There is no doubt about this.
The young boys and girls who were originally cultivating automatically lined up in two huge rectangular lines, lined up on both sides, their faces were filled with confidence and pride, looking at the children who slowly walked in, pointing and commenting!
All the children, under the command of the Xiao family's disciples, stood in a huge phalanx.
At this time, a boy standing in the last row attracted the attention of many people, he was a little different from other children.
Most of the other children were dressed in brand-new clothes of great value, silk brocade, everything, and they looked like children of wealthy families. But the boy was dressed in a coarse linen suit!
Coarse linen clothes worn only by poor families and the most disadvantaged.
The fact that the children of the poor were able to pass the Guò Xiao family and qualify for the test is in itself very remarkable. You must know that in the past ten years, the Xiao family has recruited disciples four times, and there has never been a poor child.
However, this is not the most striking thing about boys.
What really attracted the attention was that under the attention of Xiao Guan and many Xiao family disciples, the natural huge coercion made all the children tremble and dare not raise their heads!
Although his body was thin, his face was ruddy, a young and delicate face, full of spirituality, and the whole person was like an uncarved piece of jade, and the washed white coarse linen clothes could not hide his spirituality at all. Such a child, take off the coarse linen clothes, put on brocade clothes and jade clothes, and say that he is a prince and grandson nobleman, no one will doubt it!
Even the moment Xiao Guan saw this child, he was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.
After slowly glancing at the three hundred and fifty-four children, Xiao Guan, the cold-faced iron hand, coughed lightly, and the noisy martial arts arena suddenly fell silent.
"First of all, congratulations on obtaining the qualification of the Xiao family test! This proves that your physical conditions have met the basic requirements for becoming a martial artist! However, this does not mean that you can become a disciple of the Xiao family. If you want to become a disciple of the Xiao family, if you want to become a real martial artist, physical conditions alone are far from enough!" Xiao Guan's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"Confidence, courage, wisdom, understanding, and unwavering perseverance are the keys to a martial artist! If you want to become a disciple of the Xiao family, you must show enough hard work and ruthlessness!"
When Xiao Guan said this, his eyes turned to the parents of those children: "I believe that you all know what the Xiao family's test means! I hope that your children can pass the test, but that is unrealistic! At least ten percent of them will die in the test, sixty percent will be eliminated, and only about thirty percent will become Xiao family disciples! So, now it's too late for you to regret it, I allow you to let your children quit!"
"Of course, if you are afraid, you can also quit on your own!" Xiao Guan's gaze turned to the children again, and after a slight pause, he continued.
"Does anyone want to quit?" Xiao Guan asked in a deep voice.
Neither the children nor the parents spoke up.
Who will quit the opportunity that has been won so hard?
It's hard to get this opportunity to leap into the dragon gate, who will miss it?
What's more, everyone present knew the cruelty of the Xiao family's test before signing up. How can people who are afraid sign up?
However, at this moment, what people didn't expect was that a middle-aged woman rushed out of the crowd and shouted: "Let's quit, let's quit ......"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged woman.
I saw this middle-aged woman, probably in her thirties, with a haggard face and tears, rushing to the boy in a coarse linen robe.
"Godci, why did you sign up without telling your mother? If it weren't for the second dog suing Sù Niang...... God, let's quit...... You're still young, you can't compare to others, mother...... I don't want you to die,......" said the middle-aged woman, holding the boy's hand, and said with tears in her weathered face.
"No, mother, I'm almost twelve years old, I'm grown up, I'm better than them, I will definitely become a disciple of the Xiao family and a martial artist!" the boy's immature Tongyin said firmly.
"God-given...... Listen to my mother, my mother just wants you to be safe and always by my mother's side......"
"No, mother, I want to make you live a good life, I want to be a warrior!" the boy said firmly again. His delicate face, with incomparable firmness, his voice, his eyes, and his simple and straightforward words, all showed a strong belief in becoming a cultivator.
Twelve-year-old children, for the vast majority of people, are still just an ignorant age, and it is the parents who really dominate their thinking, and the vast majority of them also follow the parents' intentions to determine their own direction. However, this boy made such a strong and firm voice, his own voice!
......The woman wanted to persuade a few more words, but looking at the boy, she couldn't say anything anymore, she knew that her child had really grown up, and she was reluctant and worried, but more than that, she was moved.
She struggled to support her family of five, taking care of her crippled husband and three children, the eldest of 12 and the youngest of 7. The days were very hard, very hard, but she never fell, because she wanted to bring up her three sensible and lovely children, which were all she had, her hope, and her only spiritual support......
"Mother, don't worry, go home and wait for the good news of the child!" After the boy finished speaking, he suddenly turned to look at the head coach standing on the high platform and said loudly: "I won't quit, I want to participate in the Xiao family test!"
"Okay!" Xiao Guan's cold eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he said in a deep voice: "Since no one has withdrawn, then the test has officially begun! After four hours, everyone can know the results! All family members can wait here, or they can go home and wait, and go!"
With Xiao Guan's order, many teenagers were divided into ten groups, and under the leadership of the Xiao family's disciples, they walked through the huge martial arts arena and walked towards the back mountain of the Xiao family.
......
The mountain behind the Xiao family is called "Tianlu Mountain", the entire Xiao family's buildings are located at the foot of the mountain, behind the mountain is endless, uninhabited mountains, the left and right sides are cliffs, the only way to climb the mountain is through the Xiao family, this natural barrier, so that Tianzhu Mountain directly became the private territory of the Xiao family.
Under the leadership of the Xiao family's disciples, many teenagers entered the back mountain of the Xiao family after passing through the martial arts arena.
The eye is a step directly carved out by manpower on the mountain, about three meters wide, a short section of about 100 meters upward, a protective fence is placed, and then there is no protection on the top, it looks steep and abnormal, looking up, you can't see the edge at a glance, as if connected with the sky. In addition to this step, the surrounding strange rocks are craggy, and the pines, cypresses, and exotic flowers and plants grow sparsely in the stone crevices.
When the crowd came to a platform that was artificially built in front of this staircase, it was hundreds of meters square, and stopped. Xiao Guan stood alone at the top of the steps, looking down at the young men who seemed to be very excited, and said in a deep voice: "Do you see the steps behind me? This step was built by our Xiao family for ten years. It is also the only passage that can safely reach the summit! There are a total of 8,872 steps, and the vertical height is about 3,000 meters! Your first test is to reach the summit! The time limit is one hour! Those who give up halfway will be eliminated! Those who exceed the time limit will be eliminated!"
Three thousand meters, an hour?
The children had never climbed such a high mountain, but in their minds, the test was not as terrifying as the legend suggests.
"Got it?" Xiao Guan shouted.
"Understood!" the many teenagers replied confidently and loudly.
Looking at these newborn calves, several Xiao family disciples who led the team smiled at each other, how could they not think so when they participated in this test once upon a time?
But if the Xiao family's test is really so simple, it won't be the Xiao family.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the top of the peak, start now!" Xiao Guan finished speaking, his body shook, and he walked up the steps at an astonishing speed.
And when many teenagers heard Xiao Guan's order, they also started at the same time, and rushed to the steps one by one. Suddenly, the steps that were not wide were suddenly crowded.
"What's the panic, pay attention to safety, falling down is a dead end, no one can save you!" The disciple of the Xiao family who led the team hurriedly shouted.
A moment later, more than 300 teenagers had all climbed the steps, and most of them quickly steadied their speed and ascended without hurrying or slowing.
Obviously, these teenagers have been guided by the "people who have come over", maintain their bodies, and move forward steadily, so that they can complete the task smoothly.
However, there is one exception, the coarse linen boy!
I saw that after he rushed up the steps, his speed did not decrease at all, and he rushed upwards desperately, and in just a moment, he rushed to the first, and there was no tendency to slow down at all, and he was getting farther and farther away from many teenagers.
Seeing the Mai boy rushing past quickly, the teenagers did not show any panic at all, but a trace of ridicule flashed in their eyes, and they had the expression of seeing a fool.
Even a few Xiao family disciples who were in charge of monitoring and protection couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Didn't anyone tell him about the Xiao family's first test? This is a compulsory test! Senior Brother Ji Han, should we remind him? Look at him and be pitiful. A disciple of the Xiao family named Xiao Jifeng said.
The disciples of the Xiao family are divided into two types: outer disciples and inner disciples. The eight characters of "Thousands of generations, eternal auspiciousness" are the characters of the outer disciples of the Xiao family. The word "Ji" is the character of the seventh generation of disciples of the Xiao family, and the word "Xiang" is the character of the disciples of the Xiao family who were recruited this year. It can be seen from this generation that it has been twenty-four years since the Xiao family began to recruit outer disciples once every three years.
Anyone who becomes a disciple of the Xiao family will be given a surname by the Xiao family, and the character will be Xiao, but the character will depend on the entry time. As for the inner disciples, they are not limited by the word generation, except for the surname Xiao, the name is arbitrary. Inner disciples, only after the strength of the outer disciples reaches the realm of the Nine Rank Martial Artists, can they be promoted to inner disciples and become true members of the Xiao family, even if they are descendants of the Xiao family, they are no exception.
In the Wuji Continent, martial artists are divided into nine levels: Martial Disciple, Martial Student, Warrior, Martial Master, Martial Sect, Martial Emperor, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, and Martial God. Each level is divided into nine grades, and the nine grades are the pinnacle of the level.
"Remind a fart! This kind of inferior person also wants to become a disciple of the Xiao family, it's just a dream! I don't know how he dies! I don't know how to die! Don't remind him! Let him rush, see how long he can rush!" Xiao Jihan said sharply.
Xiao Jihan was obviously the head of this group, as soon as he said this, Xiao Jifeng didn't dare to say anything, but Xiao Jifeng didn't understand, why did Xiao Jihan seem to be disgusted with the young man in sackcloth?
"Okay, let's keep up! Ji Feng, you are behind, Ji Yuan, Ji Tao, Ji Bo...... You follow in batches, I'll go to the front!" Xiao Jihan ordered, and after saying that, he rushed to the steps first. Their mission is to monitor and protect these test teenagers and minimize any accidents.
......
Rush!
Rush!
I must pass the guò Xiao family test!
Mai boy has only one obsession in his heart, that is, to reach the peak in the fastest time! In order not to be bullied, in order to protect his family, in order to let his younger brothers and sisters eat enough every day, and in order to avenge his father...... He must become a disciple of the Xiao family!
This is the only friend Ergouzi who doesn't dislike him for being poor, and often secretly gives him something to eat, suing him, becoming a martial artist is his best and fastest way out.
The young man's name was Tianci, and he had no surname. From the time he was sensible, he asked his parents why his younger brother was called Chen Nan and his sister was called Chen Yan, but he was only called Tianci, and his parents sued him because he was given to them by God, and adding any surname was disrespectful to God. It wasn't until he was really sensible that he realized that he was not born to his parents.
The parents said that he fell from the sky, and they said in detail, saying that they were wrapped in strange transparent things, which were filled with viscous liquid, and when they fell from the sky, the ground smashed a pit about several meters deep, and this is how his parents got him. No matter how many times he asked, his parents would have the answer!
But he understands that he was picked up by his parents, and he is an abandoned baby, an abandoned baby abandoned by his biological parents. He knew that his parents were just there to comfort his young heart.
At his strong request, his parents gave him the name "Chen Hao".
Hao, originally meant to refer to the sky. Still suing him, he was given by God!
Although he has this name, his parents still only call him "God-given".
However, his parents treated him more closely than their own children. He ate an astonishing amount of food since he was a child, and his parents were frugal, and even reduced the food of his younger siblings so that he could eat more! New clothes were always the first to be worn by him, and his younger siblings would always wear the rest of his clothes.
So, in his heart, the current parents are his parents, and the current home is his home!
Who are the biological parents?
He never thought that even if they did show up one day, he wouldn't recognize them.
However, he didn't know that in this world, there could be no biological parents at all!
However, by the time he turned twelve, he finally understood that his parents had not lied to him, and he finally knew how he was saved!
......
"Whew-whew-"
Chen Hao sprinted frantically, running, he had never run so wildly, under the support of that strong belief, he sprinted for half an hour in a row, his speed did not decrease at all, not only that, but there was a tendency to get faster and faster, his breathing became deeper and deeper, he felt that there seemed to be a flame burning in his chest, and he clearly heard his heart "bang" The sound of rapid beating, however, he did not feel the slightest tiredness, on the contrary, he felt that his body was full of strength, as if his blood was burning, listening to the whirring wind in his ears, watching the rapid retreat of the scenery on both sides, he experienced a refreshing feeling that he had never experienced before!
"Why is this kid so fast?"
Xiao Jihan, who was in charge of monitoring at the front, surpassed all the teenagers in a short time, thinking that he would soon be able to surpass the poor boy who didn't know how to save like a fool, but what he didn't expect was that he used his strength to eat, and the teenager behind him was thrown farther and farther away, but the figure of the poor boy in front of him was getting smaller and smaller......
How is this possible?
A young man who has not cultivated can't catch up with himself? You have to know that you are a seventh-rank warrior!
However, this is indeed the case. In Xiao Jihan's desperate pursuit and extreme shock, the Mai boy gradually disappeared from his sight.
......
The peak of Tianlu Mountain, as if the peak was cut off by an immortal with boundless mana, with the power of Wushang Divine Power, turned out to be a huge circular platform with a diameter of several hundred meters, and the entire platform was like a huge martial arts arena. The pavilion of four meters high, the whole pavilion is made of red Shoushan stone, the four pillars and the top are made of precious redwood wood, the fine carving, obviously from everyone's hands, a huge silver bottom gold plaque, on the book "Tianlu Peak", the pen is strong, the momentum is magnificent.
"Huh?".
At this time, Xiao Guan, who had already reached the peak and was sitting cross-legged on the pavilion to meditate, and the Xiao family examiners who had been waiting at the summit for a long time, suddenly opened their eyes and looked at the direction of the steps, their expressions were even surprised, full of incredulity.
At this time, less than half an hour from the start of the test, the peak of three thousand meters vertically, far from being comparable to flat ground, the higher the air, the thinner the air, ordinary people will be short of breath even if they stand on the peak, even the nine rank warriors will take half an hour, but at this moment, he actually saw a thin figure, wearing a coarse linen cloth, rushing to the peak!
Incredible!
"It's here, I'm the first to arrive!" When Chen Hao saw Xiao Guan and the examiner behind him, this thought flashed in his mind, and he climbed on the top of the mountain with a bang, wearing a big gulp, sweat had soaked his clothes, and he felt like a flame burning in his chest, and he really felt uncomfortable at this time.
Xiao Guan, a cold-faced iron hand, had come to Chen Hao's side in a flash, a pair of eyes looked at Chen Hao carefully, bent down suddenly, stretched out his hand that was twice as big as ordinary people, shining with a faint purple light, grabbed Chen Hao's wrist, frowned slightly, Chen Hao suddenly felt a hot current rush into his body, crispy, numb, after a full minute, Xiao Guan let go of his hand.
"There's not the slightest bit of Yuan Force...... He is indeed not a martial artist!" Xiao was shocked: "With the strength of his physical body alone, he has such a speed......"
"What's your name?" Xiao Guan asked in a deep voice.
Chen ...... Hao Chen, Da ...... Man, my name is ...... Chen Hao!" Chen Hao panted like a cow, looking up at Xiao Guan, who seemed to be very powerful in front of him, he knew that this person must have a very high status in the Xiao family, and he didn't know what to call for a while, so he could only call "adult".
"Chen Hao, very good, very good! Congratulations on becoming a disciple of the Xiao family!"
"Become a disciple of the Xiao family?" Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "My lord...... Aren't there a few more tests?"
While speaking, Chen Hao slowly stood up. At this time, his breathing gradually stabilized, and the flame in his chest that seemed to burn himself gradually extinguished, which was much more comfortable.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Guan's eyes flashed with a shocked light again, and from Chen Hao's breathing, Xiao Guan had already noticed that this young man's amazing recovery was amazing.
"You can get the first place in the first test, and break the record, and you can be exempted from the other tests! Now, you have become a disciple of the Xiao family!" Xiao Guan said in a deep voice, not hiding the appreciation in his eyes at all.
"Really?" Chen Hao's eyes shone with strong surprise, he couldn't believe that he had become a disciple of the Xiao family so easily.
"Of course! Take this, and report to Xiao's house in three days!"
A black token appeared in Chen Hao's hand, only to see a golden "Xiao" engraved on it. Looking at this token symbolizing the disciples of the Xiao family, Chen Hao knew that he had really become a disciple of the Xiao family, at this moment, his heart was full of excitement and joy, at this moment, he only had one thought, that is, to use the fastest speed to tell the good news to his family!
"Your Excellency...... Then I'...... Can I go back and sue my mother now?"
"Absolutely!"
"Thank you!" Chen Hao bowed down and said, without saying a word, he turned around and ran.
Looking at the thin back that was quickly moving away, Xiao Guan, the cold-faced iron hand, and the Xiao family examiners were shocked and stunned: "Is this kid beaten with iron?"
