Chapter 9: Ambition

Ling Xu took over the Hidden Tiger's alien beast core, the shining golden core was luxurious and brilliant like a priceless night pearl.

"Congratulations, you can go down the tower now and wait for Xu Hao to announce the relevant matters!" the man said, waving his arm to the side, and a staircase that seemed to be designed for Ling Xu appeared at his feet.

"In order not to affect other people's exams, you can go down this special road to meet them. ”

"Well, junior farewell!" Ling Xu put away the Hidden Tiger Core and walked straight down the stairs.

Around the Tower of Trials, there was a surge of people, and everyone's eyes were focused on the people who walked down from the tower, their faces were happy, and they had successfully passed the adult exam, and those who shrugged their faces naturally did not pass the exam.

It was already noon, and the sun in the sky was shining with incomparably fiery light, as if all the creatures on the earth wanted to feel the heat of his body, and a huge ancient tree stretched out his weather-washed arms and stretched out a place like an umbrella.

Everyone stood under the shade of the ancient trees, and the fragments of sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, shining on everyone's bodies, as bright and beautiful as the stars in the night sky.

"It's hot. The sword servant Hua Rufeng took off her red robe, and her close-fitting white shirt showed a graceful figure, and a slender ** under the black plaid short skirt was even more annoying.

Hua Rufeng looked at Xu Hao beside her, with autumn waves in her eyes.

"Handsome examiner Xu Hao, are you hot? Why don't I fan it for you?" Hua Rufeng took out an embroidered folding fan and asked Xu Hao with concern.

Xu Hao pushed the fan that bloomed like a phoenix again and again, and said, "I'm not hot, you better keep your own fan." ”

"Humph......"

Hua Rufeng snorted lightly, and said with a smile pretending to be sycophant: "I've been standing here for so long, I must be tired, then I'll rub your shoulders for you." ”

"All the clans in the tower are sweating and fighting, what qualifications do I have to enjoy here. ”

Seeing Xu Hao's indifferent refusal of his concern, Hua Rufeng complained in a low voice: "It's really brainless, it's just an exam, why bother yourself like this, you don't have a bit of manly demeanor." ”

At this time, Hua Rufeng saw Su Lin'er coming towards her after coming out of the Tower of Trials, and hurriedly shouted, "Lin'er, how is it?

"Hmm. Su Lin'er replied softly, but there was no look of joy on her face that others had passed the adult exam, and what she was thinking about at the moment was whether Ling Xu had also passed the test of the Winter Warrior?

"He really deserves to be an outstanding disciple that I am proud of!" Su Rufeng stretched out his arm and grabbed the head of Su Lin'er who was approaching.

Su Lin'er's head was pressed tightly against her soft chest by Hua Rufeng, who moved like a reckless man.

"Master, you're holding me down. Su Lin'er's face was slightly red, and she said in her breathless chest.

"Ah...... Haha, Master is so excited. Hua Rufeng let go of Su Lin'er, who was buried in the sea of flowers in her chest, and said blankly.

looked at Su Lin'er, who had a shy face, stroked her waist-length hair, and said, "Lin'er doesn't need to be shy, when you reach my age, you will naturally be the same as Master." ”

After listening to Hua Rufeng's words, she was stunned, her face turned red from her forehead to the base of her neck, and she said in her heart: "It's the same as Master......? If Brother Ling Xu saw me like this when I grew up, would he laugh at me and dislike me?" Su Lin'er entered a bizarre imagination.

"Okay, Lin'er, stop thinking nonsense, look who is here. ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Hua Rufeng, Ling Xu also walked down from the Tower of Trials.

Seeing Ling Xu walking down the last tower stairs, a young man leaned his back on the escalator and said to Ling Xu with an arrogant face: "Ling Xu, you don't have the talent for cultivation, you must not pass the exam as I expected, right?"

Ling Xu proudly retorted to the young man in front of him: "Ou Mingxuan, it was just the opposite of what you said, Uncle Ben easily passed the exam in this very short time and became a real winter warrior!"

The man who was called Ou Mingxuan by Ling Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, how could a waste wood like him, who had no complete bones, become a winter warrior?

Ou Mingxuan pretended to be calm and said indifferently: "Even if you are lucky enough to pass the adult exam, in front of me, you are still an insignificant existence, and the sparrow will never become a phoenix!"

Ou Mingxuan was a little older than Ling Xu, and he was known as a genius in the family, and he didn't snub Ling Xu like a child of the same age, because only Ling Xu dared to speak so unscrupulously in front of him.

"Whether it's a sparrow or a phoenix, as long as I move forward bravely, one day, I will let you know that a small sparrow can transform into a noble phoenix. ”

Ling Xu's words were like a breathtaking momentum that blocked Ou Mingxuan's mouth, and he was speechless.

"Brother Ling Xu, what are you doing standing there stupidly?"

Su Lin'er walked over, glanced at Ou Mingxuan on the side coldly, and said, "Young Master Ou, if you are rude to Brother Ling Xu, be careful that I am not polite to you!"

"Miss Lin'er, it's not good for your health to get angry at will! Why don't you come to my house with me, and ask you to taste the best Longjing tea to quench the fire." Ou Mingxuan is a genius boy recognized by the family, and Su Lin'er is also a genius girl recognized by the family, but he knows Su Lin'er's terrifying strength very well, and he also admires Su Lin'er very much, so he pretended to say it in a low voice.

"Hmph, who wants to drink your family's tea!" Su Lin'er snorted lightly and took Ling Xu's hand and left.

Ou Mingxuan's face became extremely embarrassed, and he said resentfully in his heart: "Miss Lin'er, what else can attract you to this Ling Xu besides his stubbornness?"

A gust of wind blew, and the residual leaves on the ancient trees fell one after another, taking away the uneasy and joyful atmosphere of the candidates, and also announcing the end of the adult exam on this day.

Frost Clan Council ......

Directly above the solemn and majestic hall, on a richly decorated tiger skin chair sat a white-haired old man, who was none other than the patriarch of the Frost Clan, Xu Yan.

Beside Xu Yan, there were four Dharma protectors wearing animal masks, they were all veterans of the Frost Clan, what kind of faces were hidden under the masks?

This is the announcement of the newcomers who have become Winter Warriors, and the newcomers who have passed the Winter Warrior exam are all standing in the hall, and the number of people is only half of the number of yesterday's Gathering Temple, that is, only half of the people who have passed the adult exam, and those who have not passed will have to wait for the next year's exam again.

The chief examiner Xu Hao and the deputy examiner sword servant Hua Rufeng also appeared in the hall, and Xu Hao spoke: "First of all, congratulations to all of you present for becoming a unique winter warrior and stepping into the ranks of cultivators. Besides, after becoming a Winter Warrior, you have to take on the responsibility of protecting your family, and tell me loudly, do you have the confidence to take on this responsibility?"

"Yes!" replied in unison and loudly.

Xu Yan, who was sitting on the tiger skin chair, spoke: "Children, the old man also came from your period back then, and now that I have become your patriarch and my strength has reached the shadow of ice crystals, it is inseparable from my life's hard practice, you must remember that the cultivation road is long, and your mind is still strong!"

"I want to hear what your goals and ideals are, and who will answer?" asked Xu Yan.

"Grandpa Whitebeard, I'll answer!" Ling Xu volunteered at this time.

"Oh, Xu'er, it's really precious that you can answer the old man's question!

"My ambition is to be the one who sits in Grandpa Whitebeard's chair!"

After Ling Xu said this, everyone burst into laughter, only his own eyes were extremely resolute, not like he was joking at all.

"Xu'er, do you want to be the patriarch, do you know how difficult the road to becoming a patriarch is?" asked Xu Yan.

"The ancients said: Where there is a will, there is a way! What the ancients could do, I Ling Xu can also do. ”

"Well, Brother Ling Xu, Lin'er believes in you. Su Lin'er echoed.

"Very well, I am satisfied with your answer. After speaking, Xu Yan beckoned to Hua Rufeng, the sword attendant on the side: "The winter warrior should be equipped with at least a competent weapon or a practice book, sword attendant, you lead them to Qiyun Pavilion to receive the reward for the adult exam."

"Like a phoenix leading the way!"

Hua Rufeng turned to everyone and said, "All disciples, please come with me." ”

At this time, a masked protector beside Xu Yan suddenly came to Ling Xu's side and whispered in his ear: "Boy, turn right when you enter the door, enter a stone room and take the third door. ”

Ling Xu vaguely felt that the person he was talking to was the man who had tried him yesterday.

Before Ling Xu could react, the Mask Protector returned to Xu Yan's side with an imperceptible body technique, among the three Great Protectors.

Qiyun Pavilion is the treasure of the Frost Clan's hidden sword, and there are countless divine weapons from all over the world, and in the Library Pavilion on the second floor, there are all kinds of magical Hinayana exercises and cheats, and you can't finish reading them.

Hua Rufeng led everyone to the door of Qiyun Pavilion and explained: "After you go in, you can't make noise in the pavilion, and each person can only choose a weapon or a book of exercises, in order not to affect the normal work of the disciples in Qiyun Pavilion, so you must come out after an hour, and you can go in if you understand." ”

Everyone poured into Qiyun Pavilion with curious and surprised looks.
