Volume III Chapter 106
"Haha, how can I say that as soon as I see Brother Chen, you feel extraordinary, I didn't expect my eyesight to be really good, and I can actually see at a glance that Brother Chen, you are a genius. Zhao Yang was boasting, but he didn't want to think that a moment ago, he was afraid that Chen Fan and the others were too weak, and he couldn't explain it to the family.
Glancing at Wang Wen, who was staring at Chen Fan fiercely with wolf-like eyes beside him, Zhao Yang was suddenly shocked, and now he must not let him snatch this Chen Fan away, so he immediately ordered: "Quickly pack up your things, we won't recruit people today, let's go back." ”
"It's not time to go back so soon? I'll be scolded if I go back now. The young man who was sitting next to Zhao Hai said.
Zhao Yang shouted: "Don't care about the time, pack your things quickly, let's go back." ”
Seeing that everyone was still stunned and didn't know what to do, Zhao Yang couldn't help but be half angry, these stupid people, it is enough to find Chen Fan alone, and now when he goes back, not only will he not be scolded, but he will also be rewarded.
Ignoring them, Zhao Yang said directly: "No matter what you are, you are willing to continue to recruit people here, then stay here, I will take people back first." As he spoke, he said to Chen Fan: "Brother Chen, let's go to our family's station here first, right? Looking at your dusty appearance, you should be tired, why don't you go to our station to rest first, and I will introduce you to the person in charge of our family here." ”
Chen Fan nodded, since he had decided to join the Zhao family, it was normal to go back with him, and he and the others just needed to find a place to rest, which was exactly what he wanted, but he pointed to Zhao Hai and said, "I want him to go back with him." ”
Although it was a little strange, Zhao Yang didn't have time to worry about these small things at this time, so he hurriedly said, "Okay." No problem, Zhao Hai, you can go back with us now. ”
"Yes. Zhao Hai agreed and stood up.
"Brother Chen, please come here!" Zhao Yang motioned for Chen Fan to follow him.
Chen Fan nodded, turned his head and said "Let's go" to Gao Qiang and the others, and then pulled Chen Hong and followed Zhao Yang. Behind him was Wang Wen with a look of remorse.
He scolded himself fiercely in his heart, why didn't he be decisive, he should have thought a long time ago, how could a person who would make such an unreasonable demand not have the ability to excel? If he had worked hard just now, maybe this genius would have been a member of his own family by now.
Seventeen-year-old Acquired Ninth Level, what a genius figure, he is already twenty-five years old this year. It is still in the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, it is really incomparable, it seems that in the junior group of this year's Top Ten Family Martial Arts Competition, the Zhao family has a chance to win the championship.
It's a waste of how much he usually boasts of being smart, why did he look away this time? Alas, I'm afraid Zhao Yang will be very proud this time.
Zhao Yang was indeed very proud this time, and after telling Zhao Jun, the leader in charge of this recruitment task, Zhao Jun immediately praised Zhao Yang. And said that after he went back, he would ask the elders for credit, and he would definitely be rewarded.
Zhao Yang smiled. When Zhao Jun was happy, he said Chen Fan's three conditions.
Zhao Jun pondered for a while, and then said: "No problem, if this Chen Fan is really as good as he said, then he may be our key cultivation target in the future, and we will definitely not let him do some dangerous tasks." He will concentrate on cultivation in the future and help our family achieve greater honors. ”
"Yes, so what should be done with him now?"
"You take them to settle down first, and I'll visit them myself in the evening, and then tomorrow morning. I'll test him to see if what he says is true. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it now. ”
"Well, there you go. ”
After Zhao Yang left, he immediately went to arrange the accommodation for Chen Fan and his party.
Although there were quite a few people in Chen Fan and the others, since Zhao Yang and the others were here to recruit warriors this time, they had long expected that there would be a lot of people, so Zhao Yang had already chartered two relatively large inns, so that those warriors who had been recruited back could have a place to stay.
Zhao Yang arranged Chen Fan and his party in an independent courtyard, which was relatively large, enough to accommodate Chen Fan and his party of more than a dozen people.
Zhao Yang said that after their team leader would come to visit Chen Fan in the evening, he retired.
After Chen Fan and the others had dinner, Zhao Yang brought Zhao Jun to visit, and after everyone exchanged a few words, Zhao Jun began to inquire about the origin of Chen Fan and others.
Of course, Chen Fan won't tell the truth, he just said that he was a person from a small sect, and when he saw that the Zhao family was recruiting warriors, he longed for it in his heart, so he wanted to join.
Of course, Zhao Jun didn't believe that he could reach such a high level of martial arts at such a young age, and his background would definitely be extraordinary, but he would not regard Chen Fan as a spy sent by another family or sect, because if there was such a talented person in that family or sect, he would have long been eager to hold it in the palm of his hand, and he would be allowed to come out and do such a dangerous thing that I don't know if it would have any effect.
Zhao Jun tentatively inquired about Chen Fan's martial arts, and after getting Chen Fan's affirmative answer, he was also very happy, so he kept talking about some things about the Zhao family, most of which were advocating how good the Zhao family was, how strong the strength was, and how bright the future would be after coming in, which was nothing more than to strengthen Chen Fan's confidence, so as not to make him lose confidence in the Zhao family and leave.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Jun took his leave.
The next day.
As soon as Chen Fan and the others finished eating breakfast, Zhao Yang came over, and he came to take Chen Fan and the others to the assessment.
Zhao Jun had already told Chen Fan about this matter last night, and he also knew that this was a necessary procedure, so he didn't say anything, and followed Zhao Yang with Chen Hong and the others.
Since Zhao Hai is a member of the Zhao family, and he lived in the Zhao family's residence in Fengshan City last night, Chen Fan did not have a deep conversation with Zhao Hai last night, but just chatted a few words when he went to the inn, and then separated.
Therefore, Chen Fan asked Zhao Yang to find him, saying that he was his designated messenger and participated in the assessment by himself, and he should be present.
Zhao Yang didn't say anything, and immediately ordered the others to do it.
Zhao Yang is Zhao Jun's own nephew, and Zhao Jun is the leader of this recruitment mission in Fengshan City, so he is still very authoritative here. After a while, Zhao Hai was brought to Chen Fan.
"Come with us. You are my appointed herald. From now on, I'll be in charge of it alone, and I won't have to do anything else. Chen Fan didn't say much, because Zhao Hai didn't know his current self.
"No problem, right?" Chen Fan said as he looked at Zhao Yang.
"Absolutely no problem. This little thing didn't need to be thought about at all, and Zhao Yang immediately agreed.
Under the leadership of Zhao Yang, everyone came to the martial arts training ground in the station.
At this time, in the martial arts training ground, only Zhao Jun and a few other middle-aged men wearing Zhao family costumes were standing.
saw Chen Fan arrive. Zhao Jun immediately greeted him and greeted Chen Fan with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. If Chen Fan can pass the assessment this time, then his status in the family will probably surpass him in the future, so Zhao Jun has already used the title of "Mr" to show respect: "This is Zhao Ming, the chief examiner in charge of the assessment today, and his martial arts have reached the innate realm." ”
Zhao Jun was referring to a middle-aged man who was about forty years old.
Being able to reach the innate realm before the age of forty is not bad, after all. In this world, not everyone is a genius, and how many people can't reach this realm after a lifetime of penance.
However, I heard that Chen Fan had reached the ninth-level realm at the age of seventeen, and Zhao Ming did not dare to slack off, because it was almost certain that Chen Fan would definitely be able to reach the innate realm in the future, but it depended on the length of time.
For such a genius, Zhao Ming also smiled and said hello.
"Alright. Here we go. Zhao Jun wanted to see Chen Fan's strength as soon as possible, so he announced that the assessment had begun.
In the field. Zhao Ming and Chen Fan were a foot apart, standing face to face, both quietly moving.
Outside the field, everyone held their breath and didn't blink an eye, looking at the two people in the field with full attention. Looking forward to a good fight.
The first test is about to begin!
He is both internal and external, and he has two kinds of power in his body, the divine qi and the power of the beast soul, and he has reached the realm of the acquired Great Perfection, and the physical strength has also reached the realm of the acquired Great Perfection. In the end, Chen Fan still decided to use the Divine Qi to control the power at a level close to the peak of the day after tomorrow, and the power of the beast soul and the physical body were controlled not to be released, and it was necessary to retain the strength as much as possible.
Although Chen Fan is now using the body of the beast clan, the divine qi can still be used normally, and it will not be unusable because of this, Chen Fan's hands slowly clenched, and the divine qi began to converge. Suddenly, the figure flashed, Chen Fan had disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already come to Zhao Ming.
Looking at the fist that slammed into his chest with a strong wind, Zhao Ming smiled slightly, stretched out his left palm, and had already caught the punch.
The fist strength dissipated the moment it touched the palm of his hand, and it was completely unable to pose a threat to Zhao Ming.
Feeling a slight shock coming from the palm of his hand, Zhao Ming nodded secretly, it was really good, this punch of this handsome young man in front of him had definitely reached the ninth-level realm of the day after tomorrow. It seems that the Zhao family has another genius, thinking about his heart, but his hands are not affected, blocking, dialing, sticking, and shocking, standing in place, Chen Fan's offensive can be completely resolved, and he can't take a step beyond the thunder.
For a long time, Chen Fan had only concentrated on the cultivation of strength, but he had no time to cultivate his skills and moves, so although each of his current powers had reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow, his strength use skills were still at a very low stage, so he couldn't perfectly fuse the power of the crystal source and the power of the body now, and he couldn't exert his maximum power.
Although Chen Fan also wanted to exercise his strength skills, he couldn't find the right person, the water element and the cobra guard were useless, they were full of strength as soon as they came out, and they couldn't show mercy at all, and the water element and the cobra guard would not attack Chen Fan, the master, this is the highest priority of the summoning law, even Chen Fan can't violate it. So this method can be removed, and the only ones left are Chen Hong, although they can attack Chen Fan and are willing to spar, but even if Chen Fan stands still, I'm afraid they won't be able to break through Chen Fan's defensive strength, and they won't be able to achieve the effect of exercise at all, so this method can only be removed.
In this way, Chen Fan couldn't find anyone at all, so he could only focus on improving his strength, but today, with Zhao Ming, such a good sparring partner, Chen Fan would of course not be polite.
Carefully control the strength at the level of the ninth level of the day after tomorrow. Then use all his strength application skills, Chen Fan wants to see the effect in actual combat, so that the field is full of Chen Fan's figure, fists and palms are staggered, and the shadows of his feet are vertical and horizontal. From time to time, there was a burst of energy, and the cold energy shot out in all directions, and people outside the field were dazzled.
Zhao Jun became happier the more he watched, and he almost drooled when he looked at Chen Fan's figure.
So lucky, haha, so lucky!
I didn't expect that in this place, which has never been valued by the family, such a genius could be recruited, and I went back this time. The Council of Elders must be able to greatly reward, and it would be great if the elders were happy and transferred me to the big cities as the person in charge.
Well, this Chen Fan must be well encircled, not only is he a guarantee of his own promotion, but also with his potential, he will definitely be able to be reused by the family in the future. I may need him to take care of myself at that time.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jun couldn't help but look at Chen Fan's figure in the field again. I just feel that this figure is really more pleasing to the eye the more I look at it, and the more I look at myself, the happier I become, and for a while, I can't help but be a little stunned.
The more Chen Fan played, the more comfortable he became, and some moves and skills that were usually just deduced in his head. It was also used at this time, and it was continuously improved.
Although Chen Fan's strength has not improved, his power control and application skills are constantly improving, and the power he exerts is getting bigger and bigger, which causes the pressure on Zhao Ming to increase and increase.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but admire again in his heart. With his eyesight, of course, he could see that Chen Fan was constantly improving his combat skills in actual combat, which was also in line with his age, how could a boy who was only seventeen years old have experienced a lot of life and death battles, and he was already a well-deserved genius to be able to cultivate to this realm of strength, how could he expect him to have rich combat experience. Therefore, under the idea of intentionally cultivating Chen Fan, Zhao Ming continued to increase the pressure on Chen Fan in order to force out his potential, and deliberately exposed flaws in some places, deliberately guiding Chen Fan to learn to attack like Zhao.
In this way, one has the intention to teach, the other has the intention to learn, and a tacit understanding has been formed between the two unintentionally, and a teaching and guidance competition has been staged in front of everyone.
Seeing such a fierce battle in the field, Chen Hong was secretly anxious in her heart, because she didn't know where Chen Fan's true strength had gotten at all, and she was afraid that Chen Fan would be injured in the battle.
Gao Qiang and Ma Shan also saw Chen Fan's "real" strength for the first time, and they used to show it at will, and they would not have confronted people so fiercely as they do now.
It turns out that the senior brother is so powerful. Both of them secretly admired in their hearts, everyone was about the same age, but Gao Qiang only reached the fifth level of the day after tomorrow, and Ma Shan only reached the fourth level of the day after tomorrow, compared with Chen Fan, it was too far behind.
Looking at Chen Fan's dancing figure in the field, the two of them secretly made up their minds that they must work hard in the future, cultivate martial arts well, and not hold back the senior brother.
During this period of time, the two of them felt like a burden, not only did they not have Ren Zhao's help, but they also wanted Chen Fan to be distracted and take care of them, and every time they saw Shui Er and Shui Shan protecting them by their side, they felt uncomfortable.
Now, what they see in front of them has inspired their self-improvement, they don't seek to surpass Chen Fan, because they have self-knowledge, they can't surpass Chen Fan, a genius, but at least they must keep up with Chen Fan's footsteps and don't be left too far behind.
"Wind cone!" At this time, Chen Fan in the field suddenly shouted, his right hand was like a cone, and a spiral wind formed outside his hand, and he struck towards Zhao Ming with strong force.
Zhao Ming's right palm was raised sharply, and it made contact with Chen Fan's right hand cone.
The innate true qi on the palm of his hand collided with the cone-shaped qi in Chen Fan's hand, and a loud noise broke out, and the figure suddenly broke apart.
Under the shock of his arm, Chen Fan only felt a strong surge, and his body couldn't help but be shocked and flew backwards.
With a loud bang, the two people in the field quickly parted, and one figure flew backwards, while the other figure stayed still.
The remnants of the explosion rolled up a howling wind, and swept straight out to both sides, approaching everyone outside the field.
The figure stopped, and saw that it was Chen Fan who was shaken away, and it was Zhao Ming who stayed still.
After the blow, both stopped.
"Haha!" Zhao Ming suddenly laughed.
"Okay! you are very good, the final blow has already reached the level of the peak of the day after tomorrow, as long as you practice diligently, you will soon be able to confront the master of the peak of the day after tomorrow. ”
After hearing Zhao Ming's words, Zhao Jun almost fainted.
I thought I would find a ninth-level boy the day after tomorrow. It's already a very lucky and celebratory thing, I can't imagine that there will be surprises, this young man actually has the strength to be close to the peak of the day after tomorrow, as long as he cultivates for a period of time, he can reach the peak of the day after tomorrow.
If this idea becomes a reality, then it will be in this year's Top Ten Family Martial Arts Competition. The champion of the juvenile group should be won by the Zhao family, once this teenager helps the Zhao family win the championship of the juvenile group, then as his recommender, will I have less credit? haha!
Zhao Jun was ecstatic in his heart, looking forward to a better life in the future, and unconsciously Zhao Ming and Chen Fan had come to him, waiting for him to announce the assessment results.
"I'm drooling!" Looking at Zhao Jun's idiot look, a mischievous thought rose in Chen Fan's heart. I couldn't help but shout a sentence.
"What? who's drooling?" Zhao Jun woke up from his longing and instinctively wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand.
Seeing this situation, several middle-aged people behind Zhao Jun couldn't help but tremble slightly, and their faces looked like they couldn't hold back a smile. Gao Qiang and Ma Shan both had smiles on their faces.
Chen Hong laughed out loud, and immediately felt that something was wrong after laughing, so he hurriedly ran to Chen Fan's side, took Chen Fan's hand, and hid behind him.
Zhao Ming looked serious. An expression on my face that I didn't recognize him.
"You don't need to wipe it, it's all dry. Chen Fan added another sentence.
Chen Hong was amused by Zhao Jun's appearance and fell on Chen Fan's back. To hide her smile, her body trembled slightly from the forced laughter.
The middle-aged people quickly turned around and snickered.
"Haha!" Zhao Jun also knew that his actions just now were very inappropriate, so he had to let out a loud laugh to hide his embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be young. The strength has reached such a state, what a hero is a young man, admire!
Chen Fan smiled faintly and did not answer, what is there to admire. If you use all your strength, it won't be yourself who was blown away just now, but Zhao Ming, and at that time, it's not too late for you to admire.
"Now, I would like to formally welcome Mr. Chen to our family. Zhao Jun didn't mind Chen Fan's attitude, he already knew Chen Fan's character when he met with Chen Fan last night: "Let's fight together for the honor of the Zhao family in the future." ”
Chen Fan nodded, and finally entered the Zhao family, although he was still a peripheral person, Chen Fan didn't mind, he just wanted to get a new identity, and he didn't really want to work for the Zhao family.
"Then please Mr. Chen go back and rest first, and ask Yiyang to take you outside for a walk. Because I have to evaluate other people in a while, I can't accompany you Mr. Chen for the time being, and I will have a banquet to welcome you tonight, please be sure to attend. As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted to Zhao Yang, "Yiyang, you will be in charge of entertaining Mr. Chen today, and you must satisfy Mr. Chen, otherwise I will never spare you." ”
"Yes! I will do my best to meet Mr. Chen's request. Zhao Yang agreed loudly.
"Okay, then Mr. Chen, I won't accompany you, I'm really sorry, if you have any requirements, just tell Yiyang, he will meet your requirements." After speaking, Zhao Jun apologized again and again.
Chen Fan didn't care at all, smiled indifferently, nodded again, and followed Zhao Yang.
Back in the courtyard where the inn was staying, Chen Fan and the others didn't go out, but just pulled Zhao Yang and Zhao Hai to ask about some things about the top ten families, especially the affairs of the Zhao family, and asked again and again.
Since he is now a member of the Zhao family, he must have some understanding of the situation of the Zhao family, and Chen Fan also plans to appear in his new identity during the time he is in the capital, so he must do a better job.
After some side knocks, Chen Fan knew the reason why Zhao Hai would appear here.
It turned out that Zhao Hai's master Zhao Feng was a peripheral disciple of the Qinshan faction, and Zhao Feng's cousin Zhao Shan entered the Zhao family as a warrior more than ten years ago.
This time, Zhao Jun was ordered to come to Fengshan City to recruit family warriors, and Zhao Shan also came, on the one hand, he wanted to come back to see the situation at home, and on the other hand, it meant that he was a little dressed and returned to his hometown.
When he returned home, he saw Zhao Feng, who opened a martial arts hall here, and persuaded him to join the Zhao family as well.
Seeing the scenery and scenery, Zhao Shan, who was dressed in fine clothes and jade food, and then looked at his coarse tea and light rice, Zhao Feng was moved, so after thinking about it for a few days, Zhao Feng agreed to join, with Zhao Feng's skill of the Great Perfection of the day after tomorrow, of course Zhao Jun would not object, and readily agreed.
You must know that although the number of innate masters is the main criterion for evaluating the strength of a family or sect, if the number of innate masters is about the same, the number of acquired masters becomes important. In particular, the people in the two realms of the peak of the day after tomorrow and the great perfection of the day after tomorrow, although one-on-one, the people of these two realms will definitely not be able to win the innate masters, but one is not good, what about three? What about ten?
As soon as Zhao Feng joined, most of his martial arts disciples also joined the Zhao family. And at this time, Zhao Hai, who had just come to join the master, had nowhere to go, so he joined in.
However, due to his low strength, he is nearly thirty years old, and his martial arts have only reached the sixth level of the day after tomorrow, so Zhao Hai is not taken seriously, and he usually just does some trivial work, those are hard, those are tired, he does that, and Li Ting also came with him, and is now being placed by him in the house assigned to him in the family residence.
A few people were talking and laughing, and before they knew it, night had fallen, and the dinner party was about to begin.
The dinner was held in the family residence, and at the dinner, in addition to the necessary security personnel, the personnel of the Zhao family here all participated, and some of them were those warriors who had passed today's assessment and had officially become the peripheral personnel of the Zhao family, plus Chen Fan and his party of more than a dozen people.
There are about 20 warriors who have passed the assessment today, all of whom are over 20 years old, and none of them are under 20 years old. Among these people, the lowest martial arts have the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, which is really not to be underestimated.
At the banquet, Zhao Jun solemnly introduced Chen Fan to everyone and called him a rare genius.
In the process of introduction, Chen Fan looked like a maxima, he was Bole, and he said that he was a discerning talent, and only a talent...... The expression of smugness and joy on the face of the wise man was fully revealed.
He was so happy today, a little carried away.
Chen Fan secretly smiled bitterly, he didn't want to be in the limelight, he understood the truth of "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", at this stage, secretly hiding his strength is the best choice, he doesn't want to attract too many people's attention, but Zhao Jun's approach pushed him to the forefront of the storm, and he had to face greater pressure and more challenges.
Seeing the jealousy and resentment of those warriors who were ignored at the banquet next to him, Chen Fan knew that he was in trouble.
Forget it, since it's a foregone conclusion, then don't worry about it anymore, if you have trouble, then solve it, you have the ability. Thinking of this, Chen Fan recovered his mood and indifferently faced the family members introduced to him by Zhao Jun, as well as those martial artists with outstanding martial arts. (To be continued......)
