Chapter 18: The Race Begins

At this time, on a stone bench in Jiang Chen's courtyard, a girl in a green dress with a sad face was sitting, muttering in a low voice, "I don't know how Young Master Jiang Chen is doing outside, alas... It must have been hard, but I couldn't help him with anything. The girl frowned lightly, and looked very pitiful.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Jiang Chen saw Lan'er sitting on the stone bench stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

For a while, he was playful, and quietly walked behind Lan'er, patted Lan'er's fragrant shoulder suddenly, and said loudly, "What do you want?"

Lan'er exclaimed, turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Chen, and her face was suddenly full of surprise.

"Young Master Jiang Chen, you're back, stay at home for a few more days this time, cultivation is also a combination of work and rest." Lan'er said hopefully.

Facing Lan'er's gaze, Jiang Chen didn't know what to say for a while.

In the past few years of getting along with the beautiful girl full of vitality in front of her, Lan'er's smile has long been deeply imprinted in Jiang Chen's heart, and unconsciously, there is a faint affection between the two, which may not even be known to Jiang Chen himself.

After a while, Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at Lan'er and said softly, "Three days later, the clan competition will begin, after I finish participating, I may have to go to a far away place to practice, maybe... Maybe the next time I come back will be a long time later. After finishing speaking, Jiang Chen lowered his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.

After hearing this, Lan'er fell silent after a sigh, but the disappointment on her face was very strong.

After a long time, Lan'er plucked up her courage and looked at Jiang Chen firmly and said, "Young Master Jiang Chen, Lan'er has also begun to cultivate, two days ago, I was fortunate to get the guidance of the master, and now I have become a third-order spirit disciple." ”

Hearing that Lan'er had become a third-order spirit disciple, Jiang Chen's heart shook after perceiving it a little, and his eyes were full of incredulity when he looked at Lan'er, and he exclaimed in his heart, "This... How is this possible, I have been working hard for more than three months, and with the assistance of pills, I can break through to the fifth-order spirit disciple, Lan'er... After a few days of casual cultivation, you reached the third order?"

Thinking of this, a sense of loss came from the bottom of Jiang Chen's heart, could it be that his talent was so bad?

"Chen'er, you don't have to be presumptuous, your talent, even the old man has to be amazed, as for the little girl named Lan'er, as expected, it should be a very special physique that causes her cultivation to be extremely fast, since she wants to cultivate, before you leave, I will leave her some exercises and martial arts, maybe in the future, she can really help you something." ”

Hearing the teacher's words, Jiang Chen gradually calmed down the various emotions in his heart.

"Lan'er, since you want to cultivate, it just so happens that a few days ago I worshipped a teacher outside and got some exercises and martial arts, and I will leave you some after I leave, you have to work hard." ”

Lan'er clenched a pair of pink fists, nodded heavily, and said firmly, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely try my best to catch up with you!" Looking at Lan'er's serious face at this time, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, and then chatted a few more words, then returned to the house, sat cross-legged on the bed, and adapted to the strength in his body after the breakthrough he had just made.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

.........

Three days later, the entire Jiang family was wrapped in a lively atmosphere, and there was an endless stream of guests, and soon the audience seats outside the martial arts arena were filled, just to see with their own eyes whether Jiang Chen, the young master of the Jiang family, was as talented as rumored outside.

Jiang Chen also arrived at the martial arts arena early, and after seeing Jiang Ping not far away, he smiled slightly, his smile was full of confidence, and Jiang Ping at this time had a gloomy face, secretly calculating the strength comparison between himself and Jiang Chen.

At noon, Jiang Huan, who was standing on the hosting stage, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Thank you for coming to my Jiang family today, after the competition, if there is any young generation who wants to come on stage to compete, we are also welcome at any time. ”

As soon as Jiang Huan's words fell, suddenly, a coquettish laughter came from outside the door, "Hehe, Jiang family master, the little girl is a little late, you won't welcome me, right?"

Everyone present looked at the laughter, and saw Ouyang Ningzhi walking in with small steps.

After Jiang Huan saw the comer, he was stunned on the spot, and the great elder next to him saw this, and hurriedly nudged him, and was pushed like this, Jiang Huan also came back to his senses, and said flatteredly, "Where did Miss Ouyang say, you are willing to come to our Jiang family, Jiang Mou can't ask for it, please take a seat." ”

After that, Ouyang Ningzhi walked up to the rostrum and sat down, and instantly found Jiang Chen and looked at him with a playful gaze. Facing Ouyang Ningzhi's gaze, Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This girl..."

At this time, the leading figures in Yunmeng City began to talk in a low voice, and Li Zhi, the head of the Li family, glanced at Jiang Ye a few times intentionally or unintentionally, and then whispered to the head of the Xie family, "What's the matter? When did the Jiang family come to have such a big face, and they were able to invite the eldest lady of the Heavenly Spirit Chamber of Commerce?"

.........

As the discussion gradually subsided, the Jiang family also began, and the host was Jiang Chen's second uncle Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua walked to the test stone and said loudly, "Jiang Feng, go to the test stone to test your strength." As Jiang Hua's voice fell, a sturdy young man walked up to the test stone and put his right hand on it.

Subsequently, five light patterns lit up on the test stone, and Jiang Hua looked at it and said, "Jiang Feng, age fifteen, strength, spirit disciple fifth order." Next, Jiang Lan. ”

After Jiang Hua finished speaking, a delicate girl walked up quickly, it was Jiang Lan, the granddaughter of the second elder.

The little hand was slightly nervous and put it on the test stone, only to see that the five light patterns on the test stone quickly lit up, and after a few blinks of an eye, the sixth light pattern lit up.

Jiang Hua glanced at the girl in a little surprise, and then said, "Jiang Lan, age fifteen, strength, spirit disciple sixth order." ”

After listening to Jiang Hua's announcement, the girl glanced at the second elder on the stage proudly, and ran down happily.

After testing six or seven more junior clans, it was Jiang Ping's turn.

Jiang Ping walked up the stone steps with a heavy heart, slowly put a hand on the test stone, and suddenly, the seven light patterns suddenly lit up.

Seeing this scene, the great elder on the stage also smiled, and thought in his heart, "I didn't expect this kid Ping'er to break through again, in this way, maybe he can really win this game." ”

Seeing that Jiang Ping had already reached the seventh order of the Spirit Disciple, even Jiang Huan on the main seat nodded in agreement.

"Jiang Ping, age, sixteen, strength, seventh order of spirit disciple. Next, Jiang Chen. ”

After Jiang Ping stepped off the test bench, Jiang Chen walked up and put a hand on the test stone at random, and after that, five light patterns instantly lit up on the test stone.

"Jiang Chen, age, twelve, strength, spirit disciple fifth order. As soon as Jiang Hua's words fell, everyone sitting on the audience began to talk in a low voice again, all of them were surprised that Jiang Chen had cultivated to the fifth order of spirit disciples at a young age.

Li Zhi, the head of the Li family, who was sitting in the main stand, also turned his head and whispered to the young man standing behind him, "Qian'er, in my opinion, the strongest of the younger generation of the Jiang family should be Jiang Ping, followed by Jiang Chen, how about it?

Hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, the young man in white glanced at Jiang Ping, then held back Jiang Chen, and said with certainty, "Ten percent!" Seeing that Li Gan was so confident, Li Zhi stopped talking after smiling and quietly waited for the following program.

After testing Jiang Chen, he tested a few juniors, but their performance was not satisfactory, and they were all third-order or fourth-order spirit disciples.

Due to the Jiang family's regulations, only the children of the fifth order and above of the spirit disciples can participate in the clan competition, so the quota for this competition is only Jiang Feng, Jiang Chen, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Ping.

"The test is over, the first game, Jiang Feng vs. Jiang Lan. ”

After Jiang Hua finished announcing, Jiang Lan and Jiang Feng went to the ring, and after exchanging salutes, Jiang Lan pulled out a slender sword and stabbed towards Jiang Feng like the wind.

"Look at the move!"

Seeing Jiang Lan attacking him, Jiang Feng didn't dodge, he directly arched himself and rushed towards him like a cheetah.

When the distance between the two was less than three meters, Jiang Lan stabbed Jiang Feng with a sword, and Jiang Feng's arm was a little too flexible, and he actually circled Jiang Lan's sword, and his figure suddenly flashed, and he slammed at Jiang Lan with a palm.

Jiang Lan was suddenly shocked, hurriedly abandoned the sword and retreated towards the back, Jiang Chen in the audience shook his head secretly after seeing it, but he had a high evaluation of Jiang Feng, and secretly praised in his heart, "I really didn't expect that there are people in the Jiang family who are so good at hand-to-hand combat besides me." ”

Seeing that Jiang Lan was forced to retreat by himself, Jiang Feng smiled, and then followed closely, and while his foothold was not stable, he punched him again. Jiang Lan screamed miserably and fell out of the ring.

"In the first game, Jiang Feng won. In the second game, Jiang Feng vs. Jiang Ping, please ask the players to appear. ”

Jiang Lan in the audience glared at Jiang Feng fiercely, snorted and retreated. The second elder on the stage smiled bitterly, "This Nizi..."

After Jiang Ping came to the stage, he glanced at Jiang Feng on the opposite side and said calmly, "Admit defeat, you are not my opponent." ”

Seeing Jiang Ping despise himself so much, Jiang Feng's eyes froze, he hugged his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Please also ask my cousin to give me advice." ”

Seeing that Jiang Feng was so ignorant, Jiang Ping didn't talk nonsense, and blasted towards Jiang Feng with one punch, and the speed was almost twice that of Jiang Lan before.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng's pupils suddenly tightened, and he didn't take a step back, just stood quietly on the competition platform, his right arm tightened, and he tried his best to gather the strength of his whole body on his right fist.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ping rushed in front of Jiang Feng and raised his fist to blast towards his chest.

However, Jiang Feng's body flashed slightly, and with his shoulder, he met Jiang Ping's fist, and then suddenly raised his fist and slammed into Jiang Ping's chest. With two muffled sounds, Jiang Ping was beaten back two steps, only to feel a suffocation in his chest, but Jiang Feng was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he was half-kneeling on the edge of the ring.

Then he slowly stood up, Jiang Feng looked at Jiang Ping with a smile and said, "This time I admit defeat, I will win you in half a year!" After speaking, he jumped and jumped out of the ring.

"Jiang Feng will definitely achieve something in the future. Jiang Chen secretly commented in his heart.

After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Jiang Ping's face suddenly sank, and he looked down at the pale cyan fist mark in front of his chest, his eyes were full of anger.

There is no doubt that although Jiang Feng lost, he only lost in the realm and age, and in terms of tactics and psychology, Jiang Feng was undoubtedly superior.

The people in the stands, after watching this unusually short game, gradually paid attention to Jiang Feng, a young man who was inconspicuous before, and looked at each other differently.

After a few more fourth-order performance battles, Jiang Hua announced that today's competition would end here, and that the finals would be held tomorrow, and the award ceremony would be held, and everyone dispersed unsatisfied.

.........

After Jiang Chen returned to the room, he took out the soul spirit fruit in the storage ring, counted them carefully, and counted them as many as sixteen, and then softly called out to Long Fan in his heart.

"Little guy, just put ten soul spirit fruits in front of the pendant, as for the remaining six, you can keep them for yourself, it is enough to absorb ten for the teacher, no matter how much it will play a role in me. ”

Smelling it, Jiang Chen quickly counted out ten and put them in front of the pendant, and after a while, the ten soul spirit fruits turned into a thin smoke, revealing an attractive aroma and burrowing into the dragon-shaped pendant, Jiang Chen was also secretly surprised when he saw it.

"The master will sleep for a period of time after absorbing these medicinal powers, the exercises and martial arts I left for you are all in this pendant, and you will start to practice when you break through to the spirit person, in addition, a book of exercises called Vientiane Xuangong is prepared for Lan'er's little girl, this exercise is suitable for martial artists of any attribute, no accident, she should be able to cultivate." ”

With that, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

Jiang Chen also rested early, ready for tomorrow's battle!
