Chapter 1: The City of Sacred Flames
Amethyst Dynasty, Eastern Regions, Shengyan City.
As one of the top ten cities in the Eastern Regions, Shengyan City is extremely lively every day. The flow of people shuttles, dogs and horses neigh, and the endless prosperity and peace of mind.
In the northwest corner of the city, there is a courtyard house. The small courtyard is not big, but it is very clean, with blue bricks and blue tiles, and red lacquered beam houses. In the open space of the yard, there are some greens. At this time, there was an old man in a plain robe, leisurely watering the vegetable patch.
Squeak~
The door opened lightly, and a young figure entered.
The boy was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slightly thin physique, and soft but somewhat messy black hair, stained with dust, and looked a little embarrassed. The black eyes are also slightly drooping, and there is no look.
"Chen Feng is back!What, what's the matter?" Seeing the young man enter the door, the old man in the plain robe smiled heartily.
"Uncle Feng, I failed......" The young man named Chen Feng responded as he walked inside, his tone full of unwillingness.
In addition to the ten major cities in the Eastern Regions, the more famous ones are the five major courtyards.
The five courtyards are Zhentian Academy, Wind Thunder Academy, Shenglin Academy, Qingfeng Academy, and Ancient Academy.
In this world, martial arts are the way and martial arts are respected, so in this Eastern Regions, the five courtyards are actually the real bosses. Even the city lords of the ten major cities need to pay three points when they meet the elders of the five major courtyards.
Being able to become a student of the Five Academies is the dream of all teenagers in the Eastern Regions, and Chen Feng is naturally no exception. Just half a year ago, he relied on his own strength and successfully entered the Holy Forest Academy.
However, the water in the five courtyards is also very deep. Among them, the students are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. According to the age, talent, and strength of the students, the academy will divide them into three levels: A, B, and C. The first-order students are naturally the most advantaged, while the third-level students are much worse.
For a freshman like Chen Feng, the five courtyards will give them an opportunity, that is, a place of trial that opens once a year.
The place of trial, which is a space of its own, contains extremely special energy, which has a strong effect on the solid foundation of low-level martial artists. However, this space can only be opened once a year, and it is automatically opened, not controlled by the five courtyards.
Before that, each college will hold a competition for places, and only the top 30 will be eligible to enter.
Today is the day of competition for a place at the Academy of Sacred Forest.
When Feng Bo heard this, he shook his head helplessly, although he was just a gatekeeper, but he also knew a lot about the battle for places. The Land of Trials is only open for seven days a year, but the practice of seven of them is comparable to a year in the outside world. If you want to become a first-order student of the five major academies, the place of trial is indispensable.
Chen Feng didn't speak again, walked all the way, and stepped into the front hall.
The front hall of the Chen family is decorated with simple and simple decoration, except for a square table and two poplar chairs, there is nothing else.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a resolute face was sitting on a chair and drinking tea alone. With a knife-like cheek and a slight look of anticipation, he also knew that the result of his son's competition today would determine his future martial arts cultivation path. If he succeeds, he may be able to entrust him with the things he has suppressed for many years. For more than ten years, what he couldn't do by himself, he hoped that the little guy could do it.
"Mengqi, are you doing well?Do you remember me Chen Chen......" A sad sentence came from the heart, Chen Chen put down the teacup in his hand tremblingly, and his eyes were red. Recalling the past, my heart is surging, but there is endless sadness.
"Father, I ...... Came back......"
Just when Chen Chen was sad alone, Chen Feng's thin figure flashed in.
Raising his head and looking at his son's depressed expression in amazement, Chen Chen's heart sank, but he still smiled gently: "It seems that today's results are not very ideal." ”
Chen Feng's immature little face surged with endless anger, his fists clenched, and his nails pierced into the flesh, but he ignored it completely.
"I was unlucky today, I met Li Hao in the first round. That guy even dared to insult me, I fought with him, but in the end I was defeated. ”
Holy Water City, the little overlord Li Hao.
When Chen Chen heard this name, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, this guy is the son of the city lord of Holy Water City, he is arrogant by nature, and he is famous in Holy Water City. However, although his age is not very large, his talent for martial arts cultivation is not small, and at the age of seventeen, he has stepped into the realm of eight-star martial artists. On the other hand, Chen Feng did not have the strong family support of the former, and he lacked the nourishment of many elixirs, so he only reached the six-star martial artist.
"What did he insult you?" Chen Chen couldn't help but ask.
"He said I ...... There is a father and no mother......"
When mentioned here, Chen Feng's face was cold, he was kind by nature, but he also had his own bottom line. Obviously, this time Li Hao touched his bottom line. Today, the latter can laugh arrogantly, but tomorrow, Chen Feng will definitely let him know what it is like to cry.
Chen Chen's body sitting on the chair trembled, then stood up, thought for a moment, and then took out a milky white jade pendant from his arms and put it on Chen Feng's neck.
The rough big hand patted the young shoulder, and said in a low and deep voice: "Who said that you have a father or not a mother, we are just temporarily separated, your mother is a very powerful character." I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, one day, our family of three will meet again. ”
“......”
Chen Feng's eyes flashed and crystalline, feeling the coldness of the jade pendant, but his heart was warm. Over the years, he often asked his father about his mother's parents, but his father never mentioned it.
"This jade pendant, named Zi Ling, was left to me by your mother when we parted, and now I will give it to you. That place of trial, while beneficial, is not enough to change your future life. This purple spirit jade pendant can also increase Wu Yuan power, so you can take it with you in the future and cultivate well. ”
"You said that your mother is very strong, how strong is she?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.
He was gifted and intelligent, and from his father's words, he could perceive that there seemed to be a deep, deep ditch between them and their mother. And that ditch is strength, and only when they touch that strength can they be reunited.
The color in Chen Chen's eyes changed, and he sighed: "As early as more than ten years ago, your mother explored the mystery of the Heaven and Earth Mirror, and after all these years, it seems that it should also break through." Ay...... Heaven and Earth Mirror powerhouse, looking at the entire Amethyst Dynasty, there are a few people who can fight. ”
Heaven and Earth Mirror.
Three simple words, but it is enough to make all martial arts cultivators dumbfounded.
Chen Feng felt that the blood veins all over his body were trembling, it was indeed very difficult to reach such a level. However, he is not afraid, no matter how hard it is, he will try his best.
"I will definitely go to the land of trials, even if it is ...... Fight for your life......"
Following.
The morning mist has just lifted, the warm sun throws on the earth, the breeze blows, and the willow leaves sway. Between the swings, there is infinite vitality. A few little sparrows squeaked in the treetops, cheerful and pleasant, so lively.
In the backyard of the Chen family, Chen Chen was dressed in light practice clothes, tossing and turning, like a wild goose. A simple set of smart punches, but it was vividly displayed in his hands.
As one of the three major generals of Saint Yan City, Chen Chen's strength has also reached the point of turning the spirit mirror.
On the way to practice martial arts, there are nine martial arts, namely: Martial Apprentice Mirror, Turning Spirit Mirror, Lingwu Mirror, Grandmaster Mirror, Heaven and Earth Mirror, Life and Death Realm, Transformation God Realm, Supreme Mirror, and Emperor Mirror.
After the morning exercise, Chen Chen's bronzed skin was completely soaked with sweat. wiped his face casually, and then his eyes moved sideways and looked at a side room. The door of the wing room was closed, but there was no movement.
"This stinky boy can't be decadent. ”
While speaking, Chen Chen had already approached the front, and with a push of his hand, the door was unlocked. When I entered the room, I found that the bedding was neatly folded, and there was a letter left on it.
Chen Chen opened the letter, looked at it twice, immediately turned pale, and muttered: "I still have to go to the place of trial, tell me not to worry...... Obviously, he has lost the qualification to enter...... What the hell is the idea......"
