Chapter 0054: Shortlisted qualifications
In the pavilion by the lake, Ling Feng looked at the sunset in the west, and couldn't help but flash a touch of disappointment in his eyes, and said secretly: "It seems that she won't come again." ”
Just as Ling Feng was about to walk back, a delicate-looking girl about twelve or thirteen years old hurriedly came, and when she saw him, she hurriedly asked, "May I ask if you are Young Master Ling Feng?"
"I'm Ling Feng, are you ......" Ling Feng asked confusedly.
"My name is Qiu Yue, and I am Miss Piaoxi's personal maid. When Qiu Yue said this, her tone changed, and she continued: "Young Master Cousin, Miss Fang Cai was called by the old lady, so I can't come here for an appointment in the past few days, please forgive Young Master Cousin." ”
"Oh, it's okay, thanks for informing me!"
Ling Feng was reincarnated as a human being, so he was naturally not the kind of person who couldn't move when he saw beauty. He has a good impression of Liu Piaofu in his heart, but what makes him appreciate Liu Piaofu's flute sound even more has reached the realm of transforming meaning and influencing other people's moods.
"Young Master Cousin, if you're okay, the little maid will retire. ”
"Qiu Yue, do you know why the old lady summoned Piaosu?" Ling Feng seemed to remember something, raised his sword eyebrows, and asked softly.
"The little maid didn't know very well, but she just heard from the old butler that there was some important guest coming. ”
"Important guest, could it be that Dugu Piaoxue is here?" Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Is it someone from the Dugu family in Dongcheng here?"
"Young Master Cousin, I'm sorry, the little maid doesn't know. Qiu Yue's eyes were full of confusion, and she shook her head and replied.
"Oh, it's okay. Ling Feng said lightly.
Qiu Yue was blessed, turned around and walked out a few steps, suddenly turned his head sharply, and said: "I remember, the old housekeeper seems to mention the word 'Dugu', as for whether it is a person from the Dugu family, the little maid is not sure, oh yes, young master, what are you asking for?"
"It's nothing, I'm just asking casually, Qiuyue, it's okay. ”
"The little maid took the lead in leaving. ”
Looking at Qiu Yue's back, Ling Feng couldn't help but murmur: "Dugu Piaoxue, in my previous life, I regarded you as a brother and sister, and there was never any place to be sorry for you?
In his previous life, Ling Feng didn't have any secrets about Dugu Piaoxue at all, even if it was the "Five Elements Sword Divine Technique", he also shared and communicated with Dugu Piaoxue. So he still can't understand why Dugu Piaoxue suddenly did this to him. But in any case, he must avenge this revenge!
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and no one has disturbed him in these two days, Ling Feng has devoted himself to cultivation in addition to talking to his mother and grandmother.
Through cultivation, Ling Feng had completely determined that the seed next to the dantian was in the seedling stage, and he only knew that this seedling was similar to a plant at the moment. In other words, just like the trees that exist on the ground, absorb all the spiritual energy of cultivation, and then secrete pure spiritual energy. It is not known whether there are other ways to do so.
Early the next morning, when Ling Feng finished his morning class and came out to take a look, he found that the Liu family had already put up lights and was festive.
"Brother Feng, go, come with me......" Just as Ling Feng was about to go to greet his mother and grandmother, Liu Bai, who was walking quickly, said excitedly while taking his hand and leaving.
"Brother Bai, are you going there?" Ling Feng asked confusedly.
"Go sign up, don't you want to enter the Lingyuan Pool to cultivate?" Liu Bai said with a smile.
"So early?"
"Nonsense, today is the old lady's seventieth birthday, the quota for entering the Lingyuan Pool will naturally be determined as soon as possible, and then we will go to pay homage to the old lady!" Liu Bai explained the reason to Ling Feng clearly, and finally said: "The children of the Liu family naturally don't need to sign up, all the children under the age of twenty and above the martial arts realm can participate, if you want to participate, you naturally have to sign up first, and then arrange a martial arts competition." ”
"Brother Bai, thank you. If it weren't for Liu Bai, Ling Feng really didn't know this.
"It's all brothers, you don't have to be polite to me, hehe, if you really want to thank you, then you must be in the top three!" Liu Bai said with a smile.
Ling Feng and Liu Bai talked as they walked, and after a while, they came to a two-story pavilion. I saw that there were at least hundreds of young people in gorgeous clothes and brocade standing outside the pavilion, and they were all full of energy and complacency, and they exchanged words and discussions with each other......
These teenagers are obviously from the Liu family's family, and they came from signing up to participate in the competition. In fact, they all knew very well in their hearts that there was no hope of getting the top three, but being able to step into the martial arts realm before the age of twenty was a great thing in itself. If you can get a good ranking in the competition, you may be favored by the Liu family, so you will become a core disciple and jump into the dragon gate in one fell swoop.
If the Nantang Liu family wants to grow, it is naturally indispensable to win over the surrounding forces, and it will not mind that the young talents in the various large and small families under its jurisdiction will become the core children, and the Liu family will even promise the descendants to the outstanding ones. Therefore, every time he competes for the Lingyuan Pool quota, it is undoubtedly the best time for the talented young men in the large and small families under the Liu family to show their talents.
"Isn't that Brother Liu Bai? The kid next to him jumped out of that mess? Why are you still bothering Brother Liu Bai to personally lead him to sign up?"
Seeing Liu Bai directly leading Ling Feng into the pavilion, a young man who was about seventeen or eighteen years old, his eyebrows were full of arrogance, and he couldn't help but have a look of extreme dissatisfaction on his face. Obviously, he was extremely angry at Ling Feng's behavior of cutting in line.
"Huang Xuan, this is not Huainan City, it's better for you to say a few words!" another young man next to him shook his head and said softly.
"Hmph, it's just a kid who hasn't even grown hair, what's there to be afraid of? If he meets me on stage later, I will definitely make him look good......" Huang Xuanyao pouted and said nonchalantly.
It's no wonder that Huang Xuan looks down on others, among the younger generation of the various families under the Liu family, who doesn't know the "Absolute Sword Huang Xuan", who is only eighteen years old this year, and has already advanced to the peak of martial arts with a single cultivation, even if it is put into the core children of the Liu family, it is also a leader!
He is confident that he can at least enter the top ten in this competition, so as to enter the play-in round, and then become the core child of the Liu family in one fell swoop. In this Nantang Liu family, even he doesn't have any privileges, this hairy boy actually inserted himself in front of him, if he felt good in his heart, it would be a strange thing.
In the attic, a middle-aged man about forty years old with a face as cold as autumn frost asked coldly, "Name?"
"Ling Feng. ”
"Ling Feng, under the jurisdiction of our Liu family, is there a family surnamed Ling? Go out, you can't participate in the competition. The middle-aged man didn't even raise his eyelids, and said coldly.
Hearing this, Ling Feng's sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Bai next to him hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhenru, Cousin Ling Feng is the only son of Aunt Liu Wanting. ”
"Oh, Liu Wanting, when did our Liu family have this person? Liu Bai, have you even forgotten the rules of the Liu family? Go out and ......"
Ling Feng's eyes couldn't help flashing a fierce color, and he turned around and was about to leave, for him, even if the effect of Lingyuan Pool was against the sky, it was not as good as dignity! At this moment, Liu Bai grabbed his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Uncle Zhenru, this time I was ordered by the old lady to personally go to pick up my aunt back, Uncle Zhenru, do you dare to go against the old lady's wishes?"
"Hmph" Hearing this, Liu Zhenru snorted coldly, glanced up at Ling Feng, and said disdainfully: "It's easy for you to participate in the competition, heh, do you want to participate in the play-in tournament or the qualifiers?"
The so-called play-in competition is a competition to really fight for the place of Lingyuan Pool. Because the children of the Liu family plus the children of the large and small families under their jurisdiction, there are at least thousands of people, all of them compete together to determine the top three, a few days may not be enough, so there is a difference between the play-in round and the qualifiers. As for the qualifiers, it is naturally used to assess all the children.
"Finals!" Liu Bai said softly.
"Finalist?heh, does he have this qualification?" Let Ling Feng compete, Liu Zhenru didn't want to go against the old lady's wishes, because although Liu Tingwan had been kicked out of the Liu family, but this time the old lady took Liu Tingwan back, obviously because of the deep mother-daughter relationship.
If this matter is made big and the old lady knows, he will not be able to eat and walk around at that time. As for Ling Feng getting the top three and entering the Spirit Yuan Pool to cultivate, he hadn't thought about it at all, was it possible?
"Uncle Zhenru, whether you are qualified or not, let's talk about it after the test!" Liu Bai said lightly.
Naturally, the play-in tournament requires qualifications, otherwise everyone signs up, so what is the play-in tournament? To qualify for the play-in tournament, the way is very simple, and that is the test. Generally speaking, as long as the children of the Liu family have reached the martial arts sevenfold realm or above, they are eligible to participate in the play-in competition.
And the children of various large and small families under the Liu family want to qualify for the finalists, there are two ways, one is to pass the test, and the other is to be in the top ten in the qualifiers. The difficulty of the former is obviously much more difficult than the latter, otherwise, Huang Xuan, who is already at the peak of the martial arts realm, would not choose to participate in the qualifiers to obtain it. How difficult the qualification test for the play-in tournament is to be concluded from the fact that no one has tried it for decades.
"Hahaha, you want to test?" Liu Zhenru laughed out loud as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Isn't it possible?" Ling Feng said lightly, Liu Bai had already told Ling Feng on the way to the qualification, so he didn't take this test to heart at all.
"Okay, why not? Are you ready?"
Obtaining the qualification for the play-in tournament is very simple, that is, to break through the puppet array, and those who pass the three levels are passed! But this puppet array is not simple, although the first level of the puppet only has the strength of the initial realm of the martial artist, but because the puppet is not afraid of death, and there is the cooperation of the battle formation, the average middle stage of the martial artist cannot pass at all. In other words, to pass the first level, you already need the strength of the later stage of the martial artist to break through.
The puppet in the second level already has the strength of the middle level of the martial artist, and the puppet in the third level is the strength of the late stage of the martial artist. After the three levels, the interlocutors did not have the combat power of the Martial Sect, and they could not break through at all! In addition, the puppets were ruthless, and the martial artists who could not break through were often either injured or disabled.
When Liu Zhenru heard that Ling Feng was actually going to break into the puppet array, it was strange that he was unhappy, because Liu Tingwan's escape from marriage back then caused the Liu and Wang families to turn against each other, so the entire Liu family, most of the people were extremely angry with Liu Tingwan!
"The puppet array is just a pile of broken wood, do you still need to prepare?" Ling Feng said indifferently.
"It's really a hero from ancient times, good, good, good ......" Liu Zhenru sneered in her heart, and said secretly: "Boy, when the time comes, you will die under the puppet battle array, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame your mother who corrupted the door!"
Liu Zhenru had already made up his mind in his heart, when Ling Feng couldn't resist the attack of the puppet array, he would slow down for a while and then close the mechanism......
