On the fifth day that Xiao Rui and Saladin's mother and son came out, the entire Shengtian Empire entered a carnival, of course, the celebration was not for Xiao Rui, but because of the festival of the whole people of the Shengtian Empire---- the Holy Heaven Day was coming. The whole country was peaceful, and the streets of the cities were filled with celebratory people. The Yanjing Shengtian City of the Holy Heaven Empire had already started to celebrate a day in advance, and today was already the second day, that is, the day of the real Holy Heaven Festival, and tomorrow there would be another day of celebration before people would return to normal life. In this happy day, in the imperial city and in the palace, all the people of the Duan family were also even happier, because just a few days ago, their Duan family withstood the attack of the All-Holy Heavenly City, and defeated the enemy, consolidating the royal status of the Duan family. And it has also been joined by the three top masters, and the Duan family's power will be even stronger in Shengtian City in the future.

At this time, the palace was full of lights, flags were displayed, and all the pavilions and corners were hung with colorful flags. All dressed up in splendid costumes for a royal lavish reception in the back garden of the palace. Whether it is the people in the palace or the direct relatives of the Duan family outside the palace, they are all full of happy smiles on their faces, holding fine wine or desserts in their hands, shuttling through the cocktail party. Also attending the reception were some princes and nobles in the Holy Heaven Empire, as well as some feudal officials stationed in other places. These high-ranking and powerful figures also brought their young people to the Holy Heavenly City early. The purpose is to allow them to have more contact with the young people of the Duan family's direct line on this occasion, so as to make friends and even marry to consolidate their own status. And the Duan family also used this method to attract more talents and forces in order to strengthen their rule over the empire. As the family members of the elders of the Duan family of the royal family, Xiao Haiqing and his wife and Xiao Hua were naturally invited, and they also came in costumes. Due to the strangeness of this occasion and his own restraint, he just sat down in a corner, tasted wine and snacks, and looked at the royal family and princes and nobles walking around, feeling the changes in his heart, but more than that, happiness. All the people who attended the reception were elated, especially the young people, who were constantly showing their talents in order to attract the attention of many peers. So from time to time, there was a burst of laughter or applause from the reception. Of course, behind this peace, there are also a lot of palace guards. At this time, the entire palace was surrounded by sentry posts, closely monitoring everyone who approached the palace and tried to enter, so as to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the reception. As the guest elder of the Duan family, Xiao Rui was also patrolling the drinking party at this time, but Saladin's mother and son were arranged at home by Xiao Rui because they were too eye-catching, and did not follow.

Xiao Rui has two tasks, one is to ensure the safety of the drinking party, and the other is still to find out the fourth son who is hiding in the Duan family. As a result, Xiao Rui's inspections became more and more frequent, because he had to inspect every corner of the party, trying to see everyone who came to the party. Today's Xiao Rui is wearing a white robe, a tall figure, long black hair, a handsome face, and a natural self-confidence with the strength of his divine sense and the increase of physical strength, which makes Xiao Rui have a different bearing from ordinary people, which makes some women in the drinking party pay special attention to him. However, what made these women who had a good impression of Xiao Rui speechless was that this young man with an excellent temperament and a handsome face had an incomprehensible hobby, that is, he always liked to stare at young men! Could it be that he had another habit? That was a pity, and many women shook their heads secretly. But how did they know that Xiao Rui did this completely to find out the fourth son, how could he be in the mood to appreciate beauty.

Because of Xiao Rui's difference, it naturally slowly attracted more people's attention. So someone began to inquire about his identity, and when he heard from the Duan family's people in the palace that this person was the Duan family's newly hired Elder Keqing, and he also subdued two strange people, it attracted even more attention. But at the same time, it also aroused the jealousy of some young people, because the most attention to Xiao Rui was those young and beautiful female surnames, so some people thought that they would prove that they were stronger by defeating Xiao Rui. The first to emerge was Thunder, the son of the lord of Raydulan, who was stationed in the northern part of the empire, Thunder, who was in his early twenties, tall and handsome, and was also a man who was very popular with girls. The strength has reached the level of a junior grandmaster, which is definitely the best among his peers. The average martial artist starts to cultivate at the age of five or six, and after the samurai, the martial artist, the great martial artist, and then the grandmaster has to go through nine levels, most of them have to reach the junior grandmaster level at about thirty years old, and it is even more difficult to go up to the top, and each level has to go through more time, even more than ten or twenty years to upgrade to the next level, but the difference in strength between each level is also greater, and most of the people stay in the realm of the senior grandmaster and can no longer break through. Therefore, there are even fewer who have reached the level of junior divine masters like the Seventh Master and Duan Yuhai, and the Seventh Master still broke through by absorbing Saladin's energy, and also broke Saladin's seal. Thunder had already reached the junior grandmaster level in his early twenties, and he was invincible among his peers in Rainer County, so he boasted that he was the first of the younger generation. Now I heard that Xiao Rui, a kid from a mountain village, who seems to be younger than himself, was actually hired as the guest elder of the Duan family, and today he has stolen a lot of limelight, and he has long been unconvinced, so he walked directly in front of Xiao Rui, maintained the demeanor of a noble background, and said to Xiao Rui: "Hello, here is Thunder from Rainer County, and I am fortunate to meet the youngest guest elder of our Holy Heaven Empire's royal family." I have great respect for my peers who are stronger than myself, and I am more willing to learn from the masters, and I hope that Your Excellency can give you some advice. I would also like to ask you to agree. In the thunderous tone, Xiao Rui could not hear a trace of reverence. I already knew in my heart that the other party was challenging me.

Since Xiao Rui was forced to start cultivating by Daozun, Xiao Rui really hasn't had a real competition with humans, and he has always fought against fierce beasts a lot, and he has been forced to helpless a few times when he fights with humans. The first time was when Zhao Lin took a few gangsters to kill him, but he had no choice but to kill them instead, and the second time was with Lao Zhao, that was his first and only time to fight with the other party for a long time, and it was an opportunity to test his skills. And the killer who killed and the master he met during the Zhao family's siege were completely oppressed by the other party, and it can be said that he had no power to fight back, and finally won the victory by using his divine sense and self-harm. Now his strength has improved with the help of Saladin's mother and son, but he doesn't know what kind of realm he has reached, because no one has told Xiao Rui what level his essence cultivation has reached. Right now, this Thunder wants to challenge himself, but it's an opportunity to test himself. Xiao Rui himself is also a young man, he has been bullied since he was a child, and now that he is strong, he naturally does not want to be looked down upon by others, so he does not shirk, and says directly: "Your Excellency is polite, I was just lucky to be hired by the emperor as a guest secretary for a while." In fact, it was the emperor who lifted it up. However, since you want to ask for advice, then you can accompany you. ”

There were already people around who began to watch, but now when they heard Xiao Rui agree, it immediately caused a sensation, so more people came around. In fact, in every party, there will be young people fighting with each other, and everyone has long been accustomed to it, so no one stopped it, just to cheer up the party. It's just that the three members of the Xiao family have never seen Xiao Rui and others do it, so they don't know the bottom of their hearts. But the audience talked about it, and it was just a fight, and there was no danger to their lives, so they were relieved. Soon everyone surrounded Xiao Rui and the two to a small martial arts arena in the back garden of the palace, which is also the place where the young people who have participated in the drinking party over the years are more familiar, but Xiao Rui is the first time to see it.

It is a circular martial arts arena with a round platform in the middle, and the diameter of the round platform is about twenty meters. There are plush chairs all around, and there are small tables in front of the seats, on which tea, wine, snacks and fruits are placed. These seats can accommodate a total of several hundred people, which ensures that everyone who comes to the party can find a seat and watch the fight if they want to watch the fight. This alone shows the royal atmosphere.

Xiao Rui and Thunder walked onto the round platform and stood on their own side. Xiao Rui arched his hand to Lei Ting and said, "Lei Gongzi, please!" Lei Ting also arched his hand and said: "Please!" Then he stepped forward with both feet and quickly rushed towards Xiao Rui, and when there were still four or five meters away, his right hand clenched his fist and slammed into Xiao Rui's chest. The fist passed through the air, and there was a snorting sound, which showed how powerful it was. Seeing this, Xiao Rui had the heart to test his strength, and he also clenched his fist with his right hand and blasted out against Thunder's fist. There was a loud bang, and the fists of the two collided together, and the violent force distorted the surrounding air. The two of them also took a few steps back, and they seemed to be evenly matched. But the masters who have reached the level of grandmaster or above can see that Xiao Rui still has a slight upper hand. Because Thunder is an active attack, when punching is a few meters in front of the body, this comes with the power of the body to rush forward in the fist. But Xiao Rui punched on the spot, and only took this blow with his fist. And the distance between the two of them is equal. If you look at this punch alone, Xiao Rui won, but I don't know how much strength the two used when they punched. The most surprising thing was Duan Yuhai, because he knew that Xiao Rui's divine sense had reached the realm of advanced soul splitting, and if he competed with his divine sense alone, he was afraid that no one here could be Xiao Rui's opponent except himself. I also knew that Xiao Rui practiced qi, but I didn't expect that his qi training would also reach the level of grandmaster or above, it was really perverted!

The first round of the fight obviously can't say anything, Xiao Rui and the two immediately stepped forward after stabilizing their figures, Xiao Rui was the first to shoot this time, his right fist slammed into Thunder's chest, his left hand became a claw, hidden in the waist, seeing Thunder out of his left hand to block his right arm, his left hand immediately stretched forward, grabbed Thunder's right shoulder, and at the same time raised his right knee and crashed into Thunder's lower abdomen. And the thunder reaction was not slow, his left hand separated Xiao Rui's right fist outward, and his right hand pushed Xiao Rui's left paw away, and at the same time, his left foot stepped forward, his body turned sideways, and he dodged Xiao Rui's knee. At the same time, he was already close to Xiao Rui, and he blocked Xiao Rui's left hand outward, raised his big arm, and slammed the tip of his elbow into Xiao Rui's chest. Xiao Rui's three attacks all failed, and Thunder's elbow attack had already hit, Xiao Rui's right foot landed, his hands were withdrawn, his body was also turned sideways, and it became face to face with Thunder, dodging his left elbow, both hands were instantly pushed out, attacking Thunder's chest, at this time the two were already very close, Thunder was too late to dodge, and both hands were pushed forward, and the two were again a collision of strength. There was another loud bang, and the two of them retreated farther, but this time Xiao Rui took a few steps back less than Thunder.

Seeing that they had a slight advantage in both collisions, the Thunder knew that they had met a real opponent today. So the essence of the whole body was running, gathering qi on his hands, and immediately his hands were flushed with a faint blue, and the air around his body was also constantly fluctuating, which showed the strength of his skills, and the onlookers had already seen that the thunder technique should be the surname of thunder. Xiao Rui was also lucky to see this, but his hands were faintly gray, and others were a little confused when they saw it, there didn't seem to be any kind of caste essence that belonged to gray among the various castes in the cultivation world, what kind of caste exercises did this Xiao Rui practice? And Lei Ting naturally saw the color on Xiao Rui's hands, and he was also very puzzled in his heart, but he became more careful.
