Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Teenage Contest Comes
The next morning, accompanied by the sound of roosters, woke up everyone in Xinan Town, and then countless noises replaced the silence of the early morning.
Today's Xinan Town seems to be more lively than ever, because a much-anticipated event is about to begin, that is... The biennial competition of the Song family, the family teenagers.
The Song family's junior competition, as the name suggests, is a competition around the younger generation of the Song family, and the participants must not be more than 18 years old, but they cannot be less than 13 years old.
And this kind of competition is actually in the Wang family or the Yang family, but unlike them, the Song family's juvenile competition is open to the public, which means that on this day, whether it is people from other families or those foreign residents in the town, they can enter the Song family to watch the battle.
It is precisely because of this that the Song family's juvenile competition will form a grand event in the entire Xinan Town, and tens of thousands of people will go to watch every juvenile competition in the past, and this time is no exception.
At this time, at the main gate of the Song family, there were hundreds of people pouring in, some of them were outsiders of the Song family, in order to watch today's youth competition, they temporarily stopped the business of the market, and there were some people from other families, as well as some martial disciples from the Taiyun Martial Arts Hall, in addition to those ordinary residents in Xinan Town.
In order to maintain order, the Song family sent hundreds of guards, some of them guarding the gate, some scattered along the way to the competition, and finally hundreds of people patrolling the rest of the Song family.
Although the juvenile competition is open to the public, it does not mean that the entire Song family will be allowed to set foot in it, in fact, except for the area near the competition platform, as well as several main roads to the competition platform, and any outsider who dares to casually intrude into the other territories of the Song family will be mercilessly detained and severely punished.
Therefore, those who came from all sides of Xinan Town were all in accordance with the rules and regulations, and walked to the area of the competition according to the open passage.
And when hundreds of people from the outside world flocked to the Song family, located in the Houlin area of the Ming Horn Hall, Song Yi also prepared everything in his house, Mo about half an hour ago, he returned from the library pavilion, with the help of Qiao Yun, he quickly washed a bath, and now, he will also welcome this young competition.
Song Yi remembered that the night he came to this world, the original owner of this body was still practicing hard, and his goal was to get a good score in that young man's competition.
"A good person does it to the end, no matter what the result is, your wishes, I will work hard to help you realize them. Saying a word in his heart, Song Yi took Qiao Yun and set off.
The competition platform is located in the west of the Song family, where there is an area that does not belong to the five halls, covering an area of about a mile, on weekdays, the people who compete and practice here are the younger generations of those families, and recently this is specially laid out, first of all, the center is still the 100-meter huge competition platform, and next to the competition platform, there is a stone platform that can be used for five or six people to sit upright.
When Song Yi arrived, the competition platform area has gathered thousands of people, the kind of excitement is like the sports conference in Song Yi's memory, so he was amazed, looking around, nearly 10,000 people gathered around a huge competition platform, forming a semicircle, this semicircle is about ten meters away from the competition platform, at this distance, everyone is stopped by the guards, not allowed to continue to approach, and under the isolated competition platform, a vacant space, hundreds of young women who are about to participate in the competition are making their own preparationsγ
Because the further back onlookers became, the more difficult it was for onlookers to see the situation on the stage, so some people brought something that could cushion themselves high, such as chairs, and some people brought children to sit on their shoulders, and even climbed directly onto some of the trees around the platform.
And what they do is to witness the fierce competition with their own eyes until the final winner appears.
"Xiaoyi, come over here!"
Just when Song Yi arrived, a voice came directly from not far away, Song Yi turned his eyes, and saw Song Yuqing, who was standing in an audience specially designed for the clansmen within the Song family, waving to him, and at this time, the people who had arrived at the special audience seat were also people in several other halls, such as Song Lingtian, Song Yan, Song Yan, they rushed back from Bafang Garden, also for today's youth competition;
"Here it is. Song Yi replied, turned around, looked at Qiao Yun with a smile, he raised his fist and put it in front of the latter: "Come, give me some oil." β
Qiao Yun was stunned for a moment, Young Master Song Yi's actions were still so strange, but she also did the same, and raised her fist as well, and then Song Yi touched Qiao Yun's small fist lightly with her fist.
"Less... Young master, come on!"
"We'll see how I do later. After saying a word with a smile, Song Yi walked to the special audience, and Qiao Yun retreated to the side of the competition platform, she stood on tiptoe, her eyes swept back and forth in the sea of onlookers around the competition platform, Qiao Yun wanted to find Xu Pang's figure, because such a grand event, Xu Pang had come before, and she also met Xu Pang under the competition stage two years ago.
After Song Yi walked to the special audience, he slowly sat down next to Song Yuqing, and said, "There are so many people. β
"Of course, nearly a quarter of the entire town of Xinan is gathered here, and there are some noteworthy guys. Looking at Song Yi who was sitting beside him, Song Yuqing stretched out her hand, pointed to the crowd of onlookers not far away, and said, "For example, those people are from the Yang family. β
Following the direction that Song Yuqing pointed, Song Yi saw a group of more than 100 people gathered around the competition platform, and they directly occupied the best position in the area in a domineering form, and among these hundreds of people, there was a middle-aged man, with several teenagers around him, among which the most imposing teenager was dressed in black, with a calm face with a calmness that did not belong to this age.
"That is an elder of the Yang family, and several people around him are the most outstanding people in the young generation of the Yang family today, the most noteworthy of them is a man named Yang Chen, it is said that he is sixteen years old, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the second stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm, and the Yang family is very likely to cultivate him as the next head of the family. Song Yuqing said.
Then the calm young man in black should be Yang Chen, Song Yi thought to himself.
At this time, Song Yuqing pointed to the other corner of the martial arts platform, where there were more than a dozen young people dressed in the same color clothes gathered, this group of people was not led by elders, but through Song Yuqing, Song Yi knew that they were from the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion, unlike the three major clans, the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion was not a single surname force, this martial arts hall recruited those disciples from all over the world, and then gave teaching, which is also the reason why the number of people in the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion was far from being comparable to the three major clans.
"Do you see that person?" Song Yuqing pointed to an emaciated young man in the crowd of the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion and said, "He is the personal disciple of the owner of the Taiyun Martial Arts Pavilion, Qin Gu. β
It doesn't look very powerful, Song Yi looked at the emaciated Qin Gu and thought to himself, but he also knew that it was stupid to judge others by their appearance alone.
At this time, after listening to Song Yuqing's introduction to all parties, Song Yi finally understood the reason why the Song family opened this competition to the outside world, other families may be for secrecy, but the top management of the Song family confirmed that this kind of open competition can directly show the strength of the Song family to outsiders, so as to form some kind of invisible deterrent that cannot be violated at will, which is of the same nature as the military parades or military exercises carried out by the major powers on the earth from time to time.
"Cousin Song Yi, I don't know if you are bound to win the first place in this competition?" When Song Yuqing and Song Yi were talking, Song Lingtian on the side asked with a smile.
"Try your best, I don't care how many people come in. Song Yi also smiled slightly and replied.
"Cousin Song Yi is really too modest, if I hadn't misjudged, you would have broken through to the second level of the Spirit Condensation Realm now, right?" Song Yan looked at Song Yi and said, as the youngest generation with the highest cultivation here, he was already able to see through Song Yi's current cultivation.
And as soon as Song Yan's words spread, everyone around him was slightly stunned, you must know that Song Yi is only sixteen years old now, and he has reached the second level of the Spirit Condensation Realm at this age, which can already be said to be outstanding, you know, even Song Yan was such an achievement at the beginning.
"Uh... It seems like this. When Song Yi heard this, he could only laugh dryly, and his response was almost like vomiting blood, what do you mean by this, you are a person who has been cultivating for nearly ten years, don't you even know what kind of cultivation you have reached? And what is the matter with this expression that doesn't seem to care much?
"Hmph, cultivation can't explain everything, and only those who can stand on the competition platform in the end can get the first place, and this person must be me. When everyone was surprised by the rapid progress of Song Yi's cultivation, Song Mumu snorted coldly and said unconvinced.
"Hehe, Cousin Mu Mu's opponent, I think it should be Xiaoxuan, right. Song Lingtian smiled faintly and said, and hearing what he said, everyone around them also turned their eyes to a girl who was also sitting in the special audience, but had been closing her eyes and pranayama, this girl gave people a very quiet feeling, and she was the only daughter of Song Tianhua, the master of the Qing Hall, Song Xiaoxuan.
"Whether it's Cousin Song Yi, or Song Xiaoxuan, or anyone else, I will defeat you one by one, just wait. Song Mumu snorted proudly again, and then closed his eyes to breathe in preparation for the next competition.
"This temperament, is it a bit like the previous Song Yan, I doubt that you are sisters. Song Lingtian quipped.
"If you talk nonsense again, when I go back to the school park, ask the people of the association to repair it, do you believe it?" Song Yan glared at Song Lingtian and said.
"This... Let's not go online like this, okay?" Song Lingtian was a little embarrassed.
"I'd love to. Song Yan said with a wicked smile.
At this time, Song Lingtian could only wither: "Okay, it's a loss." β
Song Lingtian and Song Yan's joke also provoked some people's laughter, but at this time, Song Yuqing looked at Song Yi, her eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Xiaoyi, I heard that you have been to the Library Pavilion in the past two days." β
Song Yi nodded: "Just go read some books." β
Song Yuqing was slightly stunned, and then said: "If I'm not mistaken, you haven't been there in the past four years, what is the purpose of this time?
When Song Yi heard this, he pretended to nod: "After all, we haven't seen each other for four years, I want to see how he is doing." β
"Little Ren, he... Since that incident, there has been something abnormal, when you went, he didn't go crazy with you, right?" Song Yuqing asked with some concern.
"Nope. Song Yi said: "And I think you all misunderstood something, Xiaoren is not abnormal, he just closed himself." β
Song Yuqing frowned, she didn't understand what Song Yi meant.
"In the future, when we have time, we can all go to see him more and chat with him, as long as we stick to it, he may be able to get out of the lockdown. Song Yi didn't finish his words, because Song Ren might not be able to get out of self-isolation.
"It's not that simple. Song Yuqing said: "Xiao Ren, he... thinks that the mother's affair is caused by him. β
This sudden information made Song Yi slightly stunned: "What do you mean?"
"It seems that you don't know yet, in order not to affect your next competition, I will tell you these things after the competition is over. Song Yuqing said.
Hearing this, Song Yi could only temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart, and at this moment, there was a sudden uproar from the crowd around the competition platform, and after hearing these voices, Song Yi and others who were sitting in the special audience seat also directly turned their attention to the competition platform.
The reason for the uproar was that the hall master of the five halls of the Song family came.
