Time is like an arrow, and the Imperial Power Continent has ushered in the "March 3rd" Spring Victory Festival of the new year.

This day of the year may not have changed much for the ordinary people of the Imperial Power Continent, but for the Xiuzhen family, the meaning of the festival today every year is different, not only as simple as a martial arts competition, but also a coming-of-age ceremony for the descendants in the family who may have turned sixteen years old.

Of course, every family and sect will not necessarily have a descendant who has reached the age of 16 every year or when the number of people is small, and this festival every year is not necessarily a coming-of-age ceremony for the junior disciples of the major families and sects.

For the Xiao family, this coming-of-age ceremony is even more different, because in history, there has never been a young patriarch of a big family who is a waste with inferior qualifications but cannot cultivate, and he can't even use drugs to forcibly break through.

Root cause: the right door. Even if the door is not the right one, the cultivation qualifications should be absolutely equivalent in order to be recognized by the family. As for the marriage between the disciples of the various sects, they naturally follow this law. Therefore, the qualifications of future generations will not be bad.

But the Xiao family has the wonder of Tianyou, with superior qualifications and medium qualifications, but with inferior qualifications, it is no wonder that Tianyou suspects his mother from time to time.

The young patriarch is still the challenger when he participates in the coming-of-age ceremony challenge, so for the Xiao family, this is different from other forces, that is, this day is the day to decide whether Tianyou, the young patriarch, can continue to take over as the young patriarch and continue to stay in the family.

Since the Xiao family has experienced the Tianyou poisoning incident, it has become relatively much more harmonious. God bless appeared, and I no longer saw those big abnormal emotions. In short, the people in the clan who used to be bad to Tianyou are now much more low-key on the surface.

People are such strange animals, when the person who took the lead in the rebellion is disposed of and killed, some of the people below will choose to leave the team, and the leader like Xiao Liangyu, who directly colludes with other races, is directly hostile and disgusting, and the team he led against Tianyou is also disbanded at this moment.

At this moment, in the crowd, there was no stop in the discussion about Tianyou's qualifications, cultivation, and after the failure of this challenge, whether Tianyou would still be forcibly left in the Xiao family by the old patriarch and his wife, but because of Xiao Liangyu's matter, they only dared to talk in a whisper.

As long as you are strong, someone will respect you, and as long as you are weak, even if you have an extraordinary status, the sound of insults and blows will not disappear, so Tianyou chooses to ignore it.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and on the Xiao family's martial arts arena, the high-level judges have already sat down, and the central position is Shangguan Honglie, the city lord of Dayue City, who is sitting in person today.

As in previous years, he will selectively participate in the coming-of-age ceremonies of all families in Big Moon City, and this time the challenge of the young patriarch of the Xiao family of the big family in Big Moon City must let him come to see if the young patriarch has grown up, to what extent, or still has no achievements and is driven away by the family, after all, Tianyou and her daughter still have a baby parent.

If you advance, you will succeed, and if you retreat, you will disperse.

At this moment, everyone from the Xiao family has gathered below, and the Xiao family is already standing under the competition platform when they will be 16 years old within the year. The innate disciples who are selected as the challenged stand on one side, and the other side is standing on the one side and will turn 16 years old within the year and fail to break through the innate challenger

"Quiet, quiet!" Grandpa Tianyou, who was sitting next to the city lord, stood up, and his majestic voice also made the discussion below stop suddenly.

"Hmm... Before the competition, I would like to explain that this year's coming-of-age ceremony competition is different from the past. ”

"Children who have not reached the congenital stage can directly choose to leave the Xiao family to take care of the Xiao family's industry in the branch, or they can challenge 5 children of the congenital stage to determine whether they are still eligible to stay in the Xiao family's headquarters, which is the previous standard. ”

"But this year, after our high-level research, we decided to add a new one, challengers, you can also choose the experience topic, and you can continue to stay at the Xiao family headquarters when you come back alive. ”

Tianyou looked at his grandfather now, thinking of the request that his grandfather gave him in the secret room a few days ago, "Old man, I will be surprised if I let you see my true strength, but I will do what you ask." You must fight, but you don't just admit defeat, old man, look at it. ”

Tianyou remembered the hypocritical faces hidden under his face, and looked at the others on the stage except for grandpa and mom, "It's still the same sentence, old man, old mom, I can bear it, but it's also cruel." ”

Tianyou's grandfather continued, "Time relationship, the test bench is not needed today, please break through the innate disciple to come to the stage to show the symbol of the innate stage, the "True Qi Body" to prevent cheaters from appearing. ”

"Of course, everyone on the other side, disciples who have not broken through the innate stage before, if they have reached the innate stage now, please also go to the ring to show the symbol of the innate stage, the "True Qi Protective Body", and you can get off the stage and go to the opposite side to prepare for the next possible challenges. ”

"Disciples who have not reached the innate stage, just follow what I said just now, whether to go or stay, whether it is a challenge or a test, it is up to you. In the end, I still warn a few people with ulterior motives, if they dare to cheat, they will be killed directly, and the Xiao family can't afford to lose this person. Tianyou's grandfather said sharply.

"Okay, now I announce that the coming-of-age ceremony for the 16-year-old disciples of the Xiao family will begin now. As soon as Tianyou's grandfather finished speaking, a salute sounded in unison near the ring, shooting up all kinds of paper flowers in the sky and scattering them on Xiao's Square.

The cheers of the crowd spread over the thousands of miles. Looking at all this, Tianyou is unusually calm.

Then twenty-seven early disciples, led by Xiao Ling and Xiao Xiaotian, walked into the ring, standing in a row in the ring, looking at each slightly immature face on the stage, with the word confidence written on it.

Tianyou understands that he can reach the congenital stage at the age of 16, and in a cultivation world like the Imperial Power Continent, he can indeed be proud, and among the more than 300 disciples of the Xiao family this year, there are twenty-seven children in the congenital stage, one disciple with superior qualifications, and five disciples with intermediate qualifications.

And this is also because the Xiao family has a great cause, so there are so many junior disciples, otherwise, according to the urine nature of cultivators, there are many people who are not married for hundreds of years.

However, after feeling a lot of strange eyes cast on him, Tianyou felt a little unhappy in his heart, "Does being on stage mean that you are strong? Brother is not a cultivator, what is this nonsense about me," Tianyou directly ignored the strange eyes around him.

After looking at his grandfather and mother, Tianyou nodded, saying that he didn't mind and knew how to do it.

At this time, Tianyou's side also walked out of the three disciples, and after looking at Tianyou and the others arrogantly, they walked directly into the ring. Although it is not as good as the other twenty-seven at the age of 16, it is also the capital of arrogance.

"Xiao Hua, Xiao Shichan, and Xiao Jing have all broken through the innate nature? Everyone in the audience was also surprised and praised. Tianyou's grandfather has already said that in the face of the surveillance of the masters of the Jindan period, cheating is tantamount to death.

Tianyou saw that there was no figure of Xiao Heng, and thought of the person who went against him, but became a crazy waste because of the relationship between his elders, and the Grand Duke was a loss for the Xiao family.

And when Tianyou deserted, the thirty disciples on the stage all showed the symbols of their congenital period, the most conspicuous ones were Xiao Ling, Xiao Xiaotian, dark true qi, congenital late stage, clear-eyed people knew that their future future would be limitless.

Let everyone on the judge's seat have a happy smile on their faces.

"I didn't expect that the cultivation speed of these two people is really good, if it goes well, in a few decades and less than a hundred years, the Xiao family should be able to increase the number of masters in the Jindan stage cultivation, not bad. ”

"Those three backward little guys are not bad, their qualifications are a little lower, but they are diligent and worth cultivating, hehe. ”

Tianyou's grandfather said happily to Tianyou's mother. Tianyou's mother also affirmed her father's words with a smile on her face.

Then, Tianyou's grandfather said loudly, "Okay, you can go down." Now it's up to the acquired disciple to make a choice. ”

The thirty congenital disciples on the stage slowly walked down the ring, glanced at the acquired disciples standing opposite the ring, and expressed coldly with a chill in their eyes, "If you want to die, come and challenge." ”

Tianyou Grandpa's words, as soon as they fell, many acquired children began to talk in a whisper, the sound was superimposed, a little noisy, but no one on the judging table came out to stop it, because this is a critical moment in the lives of these juniors, and staying in the Xiao family is a great opportunity for Xiuzhen.

Therefore, many disciples in the Xiao family's industry outside the outside world, even if they are thousands of miles away, will come to participate in this important coming-of-age ceremony.

The discussion continued, but when they were glanced at by the cold eyes of those congenital disciples, some of the acquired disciples shivered and timidly walked to Grandpa Tianyou, "Old patriarch, it is a great honor to participate in the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony, but my strength is limited, I still go to take care of the Xiao family's industry and continue my path of cultivation there." I hope the old patriarch will forgive me. "A small peer who is very good at talking and saying goodbye to the old patriarch.

Tianyou's grandfather, who understood the truth in it, did not have any emotion, nodded and agreed.

The boy returned to his place and watched what might happen next.

Then one by one, the children of the Xiao family branch basically did the same thing.

Tianyou looked at all this lazily, the operation of the Xiao family's Dayue City relied on the people of the headquarters, but the business points in other parts of the Xiao family had to rely on these people who left the Xiao family's headquarters to take care of it, so for thousands of years, a branch was formed under the headquarters.

The Xiao family's business has no fixed business model, from weapons to food, and at the same time, they are looking for ownerless spirit stone mines in various places to take possession of them. The development of the family is not enough to rely on this little industry in Dayue City alone, so the establishment of the branch also allows the disciples of the Xiao family to make the best use of them, even if they have no talent, they can become a member of the escort team. ”

And the Xiao family branch, although it is an ordinary existence in the cultivation of truth, but every family hopes that their children will become talents, be more promising than Lao Tzu, and become the supreme cultivator of the imperial power continent.

Therefore, every time there is a coming-of-age ceremony, as long as the Xiao family branch has a disciple who has a little talent in cultivating the truth, and when he reaches the age of 16, he will be sent back to the headquarters, even if he can't stay at the headquarters, he will let him come here to see and learn.

In the end, most of the people who chose to challenge were the disciples of the Xiao family's headquarters, but like the children of the branch, most of them were knocked out of the ring not long after they came to the stage.

Tianyou said secretly, "Although brave and commendable, it should be ironic to become a brave man without brains." He looked at one of the children who was beaten all over his head, "This thing is really killing people." ”

The children of the Xiao family's headquarters generally feel that they are superior to the branch disciples, and they dare to come out to challenge when they see the children of the branch, so they also choose to challenge for the sake of face, and the result can be imagined.

Of course, it is only a minority that chooses challenges and tests. Seeing that the time is almost up, the children who should make a decision have also made their choices.

Tianyou, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Grandpa, I will do what you ask, but if you don't try your skills, give up, this is not good." Shaking his hands and feet, Tianyou jumped lightly and landed elegantly in the ring.

This move made Tianyou's grandfather and mother very puzzled, but they would not change Tianyou's choice, but they just hoped that Tianyou would not forget their instructions.

"It's good to stay at home, but if you don't have a future home, how can you really be good?"

Tianyou's fingers looked at Xiao Jing coldly not far away, "It's just you." ”

"Young Patriarch, are you sure you choose me? haha. Although Xiao Jing had only broken through the innate for a short time, he saw the waste of this family to challenge himself, so his self-confidence swelled suddenly, and he jumped into the ring with a smile, and his face was even more crooked, but when he saw the eyes of the great elder on the judge's seat, he could only restrain himself.

"Okay, God bless young master, I accept your challenge. However, I don't know how serious it is, it hurts you, don't blame it, God bless young master. Xiao Jing's contemptuous tone was full of threat.

"Hmph, although I've only broken through the innate for a short time, it's not something you can provoke. You have the support of the old patriarch, but as long as you don't kill you, I also want to see how he protects you in this big court. Shaw family waste. ”

"Hmph, hmph," Tianyou snorted coldly, "How can a ring without blood be called a ring, accept my brother's anger." ”

After Tianyou finished speaking, his footsteps moved.
