......

Nine years later, Shang Chen, sixteen years old.

......

In the evening, the Shang people are behind the mountain.

Lying halfway up the mountainside, with a withered grass in his mouth, Shang Chen stared at the sunset on the horizon, and the flying geese, letting the breeze blow across his face, blowing through the immaturity, bringing a trace of handsomeness.

Shang Chen hadn't relaxed like this for a long time, in the past, he had been constantly refining his body and cultivating his soul according to his mother's method; compared to this comfortable time at this time, the young man also felt that his cultivation in the past was a little tired.

"It's a coming-of-age ceremony in a few days, it's really annoying, one star in the soul qi realm!hehe, I guess it's going to make people laugh again!"

"It's really difficult to cultivate your soul! But fortunately, I felt my soul three years ago!"

Shang Chen sighed with emotion, thinking that from the day he decided to cultivate soul power until now, the young man felt the real hardship. However, since he felt his own soul, Shang Chen felt that it was not so difficult for him to improve his soul power, and for some reason, although it was not easy, it was definitely not as difficult as his mother said, which made Lin Zhi also surprised.

"Could it be that I was born to cultivate soul power?" Shang Chen thought of his special body and muttered, "Forget it, no matter so much." ”

Continuing to stare at the whirling grass stalks in mid-air, Shang Chen tried to completely split the grasses, just like his mother had done.

A few grasses spun up in spun spin, faintly fluctuating and emitting some light.

"Break!" with a soft snort, Shang Chen urged his soul power to dissolve the grass into ash.

Suddenly, several grasses broke and opened, and a few thin leaves were completely turned into dust, but the stumps and leaves were still floating in the air, obviously a failure.

"Hey, it still doesn't work, if it goes on like this, it will probably take half a year. ”

Looking at the mess in front of him, Shang Chen had expected this to be the result again, and muttered to himself.

"However, with the improvement of soul power, my control and use of the soul of the Spirit Realm has increased a lot. ”

......

Back in the courtyard, Shang Chen was still thinking about the control of soul power, but suddenly a voice that made him very irritable came, and Shang Chen's sharp gaze immediately glanced at the source of the sound.

"Isn't this waste! What? It's about to be a coming-of-age ceremony, don't you feel like you're having trouble sleeping? haha!"

The man was dressed in a green-yellow robe, and glanced at Shang Chen, looking very arrogant. In his opinion, although it is stipulated in the group that no one is allowed to conflict with Shang Chen, on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the waste material of this one-star soul realm will definitely be exposed, and it will be spurned by the major clans, and he can be trampled under his feet when the time comes.

"Don't worry!" Shang Chen glanced at Shang Zhan coldly, and continued to walk unhurriedly.

Seeing Shang Chen's attitude, Shang Zhan immediately felt a wave of anger in his heart. In the entire Shang clan, everyone respected him, because he Shang Zhan, as the eldest son of Elder Shang Meng, was another genius in the Shang clan in the past twenty years who had reached the nine-star soul qi at the age of sixteen, which made him feel that he had enough capital to impress others, but this kid in front of him didn't buy his account, and he was still an unscrupulous waste material with one star in the soul qi realm!

Indeed, reaching the Soul Qi Realm Nine Star Realm at the age of sixteen can be said to be a well-deserved genius in the entire Xingyuan Town, and it also gives him enough capital to be proud of.

Thinking of this, Shang Zhan snorted coldly, moved a step to the left, and blocked Shang Chen's way!

"You're in my way!" Shang Chen knew at this moment that Shang Zhan was deliberately finding fault, but in order not to cause any trouble, he didn't immediately pierce the paper.

Shang Zhan smiled coldly and said coldly: "What, do you want to go over? Yes, you can drill under my crotch!"

He has endured this kid for a long time, Shang Xue and Shang Xinyu are very humble in front of him, but this Shang Chen seems to have never taken him seriously, it is nothing more than relying on his identity and the support of the patriarch, thinking of this Shang Zhan is even more annoyed.

"I don't want to entangle with you here, if you insist on messing around, you can try!" said in a cold and deep voice, and the young man moved his steps, looking like he was about to leave.

Shang Chen knew that it was impossible to hurt him with the soul aura of his Shang Zhan Soul Qi Nine Stars, on the contrary, he himself could knock him to the ground with his fists and feet, after all, Shang Chen had been refining his body for the past sixteen years, how could the strength of his current body be comparable to Shang Zhan, who had been cultivating soul aura.

It's just that Shang Chen's worries made Shang Zhan see something and spread it out, maybe what would happen, which was what his father had been telling him before.

"Try it?—— hahaha!" Shang Zhan seemed to have heard some big joke, a waste material with a one-star soul realm actually tried to provoke him in vain?

"Okay, then I'll let you know what the gap is today!" said playfully, Shang Zhan glared at Shang Chen, and at the same time, the hands behind his back continued to gather soul aura, and just as he was about to make a move, two graceful figures seemed to flash in front of him, making the soul aura that the young man had just condensed disperse again.

"Why are Shang Xue and Shang Xinyu here?" Shang Zhan saw the two young women walking over in the distance and muttered.

"Brother Shang Zhan, what are you doing here?"

Although she also saw Shang Chen, Shang Xinyu instinctively skipped Shang Chen, obviously she was also full of contempt for this boy with a one-star soul.

The sudden appearance of the two Nizi made Shang Strategy slightly unhappy, and complained in his heart: "I wanted to teach this kid a lesson while no one was there, hmph! Count you lucky, anyway, it will be a coming-of-age ceremony in a few days, and then see how I clean you up!"

He knew that if he insisted on being seen and told by these two girls, he would inevitably be punished by the elders, so why should he leave the handle in the hands of these two girls?

"It turned out to be Xinyu, Sister Xue'er, I have nothing to do with the two of you, I just met!" Shang Zhan smiled, and as he spoke, he ran past a few people and walked down the path.

Xinyu knew Shang Zhan's thoughts, but she was too lazy to participate in the peace, and her fair-skinned little hand held Shang Xue.

"Xue'er, let's go!" The cold eyes didn't even look at Shang Chen.

Shang Xue glanced at Shang Chen, then turned her head away, and walked towards the room with Shang Xinyu.

The boy stood alone as if nothing had happened, unhappy or angry, and then smiled bitterly.

"One star in the soul qi realm! strength this thing! hehe......"

laughing at himself, the cold eyes of the past sixteen years have made the young man accustomed to this kind of life alone, and the lonely figure walks to the room alone.

......

The lights were on in the room, which made Shang Chen muttered for a while: "Who is in my room?" Just as he was wondering, a familiar voice came from the room.

"Chen'er, you're back!"

"Father!" pushed open the door, and sure enough, a man who made him kind stood in front of him, without any friends, parents, and several elders were the only support of the young man.

Shang Mingxuan's kind face had a faint smile at the moment, Shang Chen saw his father like this, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, but he wasn't worried, after all, his father seemed a little happy at the moment.

"Father, what makes you so happy!" Shang Chen also smiled.

Shang Mingxuan stared at his son, paused for a long time, and slowly said, "Chen'er, it's been sixteen years, and now you have grown up!"

Speaking calmly, Shang Mingxuan looked up slightly, thoughtfully.

Seeing that his father was happy for a while, and so emotional for a while, Shang Chen was stunned, and gradually understood the complex emotions in his father's emotion.

"Father, do you want to come to me about the coming-of-age ceremony?"

Thinking that he had grown up, his father was naturally happy, and of course he knew that his father was worried about the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Not all!" Looking at Shang Chen again, Shang Mingxuan remembered the scene of his child from birth to this handsome young man, the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc, and at the same time sighed.

"Chen'er, you have been different from everyone since you were born!" Shang Mingxuan patted Shang Chen's shoulder and spit out.

"I know, father, are you going to tell me something else?"

In response, Shang Chen suddenly realized that he had not been able to cultivate since he was born, although the soul spirit qi could not hurt him, it would be absorbed by him inexplicably, and it had become a problem that had always plagued him, but despite this, his father and the elders all loved him, making Shang Chen feel that they must know something.

"Actually, our Shang clan was not surnamed Shang at the beginning, we are a branch of an ancient clan, as for some of the trivial matters, after a long time, when it comes to me, I don't know. ”

Speaking lightly, Shang Mingxuan smiled bitterly, very seriously, because he didn't know what was involved, but after a long time, he, the patriarch, was also vague about these, and muttered:

"I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't know what happened in ancient times, but the reason why my Shang clan was founded is said to be entrusted by the dust clan. ”

"Dust, is that the ancient clan you are talking about?"

Shang Chen suddenly thought of something, didn't there be a dust character in his name, was it a coincidence? If he had said that it could be before, then what his father said at this time was enough to show that he must have some connection with this dust clan!

"But what does this have to do with me? Does it have anything to do with my specialness?" Shang Chen immediately expressed his doubts, and he could only think of this one possibility.

Staring at his son, Shang Mingxuan nodded slowly and said, "Our Shang clan is actually hidden here, including the clan surname is also for concealment, for a inheritance, it can also be said to be a mission!"

As he spoke, Shang Mingxuan took out a red box, the box was dark red, and the wood seal carving on it was very exquisite, exuding a quaint atmosphere, even ordinary people could see at a glance that this box must not be ordinary!

"This!" exclaimed the boy.

Looking at the box, Shang Chen was also attracted for a while, and really wanted to open him to see what treasure was inside, so that even the box was so smart!

"The inheritance of the clan is to wait for the advent of a 'person who violates common sense'!" Shang Mingxuan held the box, looked at Shang Chen, and said affirmatively.

"'People who go against common sense?' Do you mean me?" Shang Chen pointed to himself, looking very surprised, he had never known that there was such a thing.

"Yes, I don't know how many years passed, at first my father thought it was just a symbolic thing, just a legend, but I didn't expect it to end up on my head. Speaking of this, Shang Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, it was really like winning the jackpot, but this "award" was so bizarre!

Without waiting for Shang Chen to continue to ask, Shang Mingxuan opened the box directly, and his eyebrows were also relieved with the opening of the box.

Shang Chen stared at the open thing, it was different from what he imagined, there was no aura fluctuation, but a spar pendant, the spar was light blue, slightly transparent, and the lines inside could be seen, dotted with stars, a little like the starry sky at night.

Looking at this stone, the man absorbed a few breaths, his tense body loosened a lot, staring at this jade-like stone, Shang Mingxuan said in a deep voice: "This is the inheritance stone of our Shang clan!"
