Chapter 5: The Royal Training Ground

Seeing a large number of guards waiting on the periphery, Xia Jiang quickly dismounted and entered the inside of the training ground.

At this moment, there were many people in the center of the cultivation ground, all of them were already standing neatly and lined up in a queue, and in front of the queue, I saw a majestic figure standing impressively.

This person is more than two meters tall, with a dragon face and tiger eyes, exuding an invisible majesty all over his body, and in the eyes of everyone at this moment, he is like a giant.

He is the king of this Xia country, Xia Xiong.

On each side of it, there is an old man, both of whom were once the king's generals, and are now the teachers here.

In the past, he handed over the cultivation of the children here to a few veterans to teach, and only at the end of each month, he would come in person to test these children and see how much progress they made.

As the king of a country, Xia Xiong knows this world deeply, every qiē speaks with strength, without strength, every qiē is empty talk, and the strength is not divided into men and women, any strong cultivator represents the strength of two cultivators!

Therefore, whether it is a prince or a princess, he must strictly supervise, and these will directly represent the future of his Xia Kingdom!

Seeing that his father had arrived, although Xia Jiang was ready, he was also secretly shocked, speaking of which, in the past, the ninth prince was extremely afraid of his father, and he was almost terrified when he saw his father.

Xia Jiang took a deep breath, steadied himself, and walked towards the queue step by step.

But there was still a long way to go, and a sound like thunder had already arrived.

"Xiao Jiu!

Xia Xiong, who was like a giant in the eyes of everyone, suddenly swept his gaze towards Xia Jiang in the distance.

When everyone heard the guidance of this voice, they instinctively turned their heads to look at Xia Jiang, but they saw that they did not squint one by one, and they were still waiting quietly, as if they had not heard anything. In front of their father, these princes and princesses who call for wind and rain on weekdays are now like soldiers on the battlefield, with strict military discipline.

As for Xia Jiang, when he heard his father's special call, he was shocked, and he didn't think much about it, so he immediately quickened his pace.

When Xia Jiang came to Xia Xiong's side, some people in the queue couldn't wait to wait for Xia Jiang to be unlucky, but there were also a few people who were worried about him, such as Xia Yun'er, although she knew that today's test was inevitable, he still hoped that things would not be so bad.

Seeing Xia Jiang coming, Xia Xiong was a little unexpected, and said in a very calm tone: "I heard Yun'er say that you have always worked very hard, but you have no talent...... "As he spoke, his eyes swept Xia Jiang slightly, and he continued to look at everyone.

"This king has always valued those who practice hard and have the spirit of never giving up, although they may not have strong personal strength, but they can inspire a large number of people to rise up, which is a rare team leader!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and his gaze swept over the audience: "Among you, are there any people with a blood compatibility of 'three' or below 'three'?" ”

The sound was like thunder, and when this voice was heard, the kind of person who was pointed out was like a marionette at this moment, and stood up in the blink of an eye.

Three, there were only three people.

Two princesses, one prince, one of the princes, that is, the thirteen princes.

The two princesses were forced to come out, and although they were only twelve or thirteen years old, they were all terrified, but fortunately, Xia Xiong's eyes immediately fell on the thirteenth prince.

"Thirteen, it's up to you to compete with Xiao Jiu to see if he has made any progress, how about it?"

When Xia Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but look at his thirteenth brother, although the other party's blood compatibility had reached "three", he was only eleven years old, three or four years younger than himself, which made him a little disappointed.

However, at this time, a gaze suddenly looked at him, and his eyes were full of worry.

It turned out to be Xia Yun'er.

Xia Jiang's heart warmed, at this time, there was only one she who would care about herself, as a gratitude, he confidently glanced back at the other party, signaling the other party to rest assured, but he didn't think that he would look at it at this glance, so that he was stunned.

Xia Yun'er, who was covered with a veil, was mysterious, and at this moment, under the decoration of the red and white clothes, it made the over-aged proud figure a little more hot, and with the concerned eyes, the feeling that Xia Jiang felt at this moment was indescribable......

All of a sudden, Xia Jiang had almost lost his mind and wanted to make a fool of himself in public.

Fortunately, Xia Yun'er suddenly noticed Xia Jiang's strangeness, realized something, and hurriedly turned her head, which made Xia Jiang come back to her senses.

It's dangerous......

Xia Jiang, who was sober, was secretly glad that he didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward and walked into the center of the training ground.

And the thirteenth prince, who had been instructed, responded to Xia Xiong while also quickly walking towards the center.

The crowd immediately dispersed, making way for a huge clearing.

Although the thirteenth prince is young, he uses a weapon that is more domineering than the big brothers, a pair of sledgehammers weighing hundreds of pounds!

While standing still, Xia Jiang was already thinking in his heart, although he had never seen the thirteenth brother make a move, but just looking at the pair of sledgehammers, he understood that this little brother was walking in the pure and fierce power school.

The attributes of magic weapons determine the attributes of cultivators, which is a well-known thing, so generally both sides of the battle can judge the opponent's possible abilities from each other's weapons, and the only thing to pay attention to is the cultivation partner that the opponent may have, and there may be many kinds of magic weapons, so it is difficult to guess.

Originally, the atmosphere at the scene was very strict, but as Xia Jiang showed off his weapon, they couldn't help laughing.

Akagi sticks......

He was holding the red wooden stick he had just gotten from the trial hall, and he was a magic weapon, and he knew that he was going to be restrained by the weapon of the thirteenth brother as soon as he looked at his body.

"Ninth brother, do you need to change your weapon?" The thirteenth prince also seemed to think that Xia Jiang's weapon was not good, and before starting, he hurriedly asked.

Xia Jiang was also grateful when he heard this, and his good impression of the thirteenth brother suddenly increased a lot, and said: "Thank you for the reminder of the thirteenth brother, my weapon is very good, and I don't need to change it." ”

As he spoke, Xia Jiang immediately moved a few steps, adjusted himself, and put on a posture.

Seeing Xia Jiang put on a fighting posture, the thirteenth brother suddenly seemed to have changed as a person, his eyes revealed a strong fighting momentum, and he didn't say much, and immediately swung the hammer and rushed out.

When everyone saw it, most of them couldn't help but be shocked, and their youngest brother was not simple!

The Thirteen Princes swung their double hammers and bombarded Xia Jiang directly, simply moving forward, forcing their opponents to only fight hard with themselves.

If it was before, Xia Jiang couldn't parry this move alone, so he could only keep dodging and scurrying around, but now it's different, he cultivates the "Demon Devouring Heart Method", as long as he mobilizes the activity of the blood in his body, he can exert a strength beyond his own cultivation.

However, even so, at this moment, in the face of the attack of this twin hammers, he could only dodge first and look for an opportunity to attack for the time being.

But in this way, the scene at this time, it seems that Xia Jiang was directly chased and beaten by the thirteenth brother as everyone expected, and he had no power to fight back. At this moment, only some discerning people can see that if it is only in terms of sensitivity, Xia Jiang does not seem to be inferior to the Thirteenth Prince at all.

As the attacks were dodged by Xia Jiang again and again, the thirteenth prince began to look a little impatient, and the attacks began to become more and more ferocious.

All cultivators in this world know that cultivators with a power stream like the Thirteen Princes, they rely on the strength of their weapons, and every blow is like an explosion, and the power is huge, but they are most afraid of fighting a protracted battle.

In the face of the stormy and powerful attack of the Thirteen Princes, Xia Jiang could only dodge with all his strength, using the nascent Demon Devouring Heart Method in his mind, making his body like a snake, extremely agile, and every time he dodged the attack without danger.

Seeing this scene, especially seeing that the thirteenth prince was becoming more and more impatient, someone suddenly muttered in a low voice: "How come the ninth brother doesn't even have the courage to fight head-on, this is a bitter thirteen......

Obviously, this person saw that Xia Jiang was slowly wearing down his opponent and was going to be in an undefeated situation, so he was unhappy in his heart, and he spoke contemptible words about Xia Jiang.

In fact, Xia Jiang's blind dodging like this is indeed not very good-looking, even if he wins by luck in the end, it is not disgraceful, but Xia Jiang is also helpless, and now for him, winning is the first priority.

Seeing that Thirteen was gradually tired and showed defeat, suddenly a voice sounded on the side.

"To be an elder brother and compete with a younger brother, you still need to use such despicable tactics, it's really a shame for my Xia country!"

The voice was loud, and it attracted everyone's attention at once, and I saw that the second prince had arrived at some point, and in addition, there were several princesses such as Xia Yu.

Among them, especially Xia Yu, compared with Xia Yun'er, there is less mystery, but more intuitive bewitching beauty, which makes all the princes look at each other.

"Little nine, thirteen, you guys stop!"

It seemed that he couldn't stand this battle, and at this time, his father's voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing his father's words, Xia Jiang immediately flashed aside.

However, the thirteenth prince was suspended from the competition, thinking that he had lost, so he quickly knelt down and said with great shame: "Father, the child has disappointed you!" Although he had no complaints about Xia Jiang, he lost because he was higher than the other party, which made him feel ashamed.

Seeing that the thirteenth prince was like this, before his father could speak, one of the people in the queue suddenly took the lead and said loudly: "Father, if you want to test whether the ninth brother has cultivated diligently, it is better to let the child come! As long as he can go through three moves in the child's hand, even if he wins!"

And then, without waiting for his father to speak, one person behind him also scrambled to say: "I don't need the third brother, it's enough for me to test him, and I only use three moves!"

Xia Jiang looked over, isn't it his third brother and who is the fourth brother? To put it bluntly, since the second prince began to look at him unpleasantly because of his contact with the ninth princess, the two of them have seen the wind and rudder, and have always wanted to please the second prince and embarrass themselves in front of the second prince.

Through the memories of the ninth prince over the years, Xia Jiang already knows that now these princes and princesses are secretly divided into several parties, some follow the eldest prince, some follow the second prince, and some please the third princess, and the third princess is close to the second prince, making these brothers and sisters almost divided into two factions.

But regardless of the two factions and three factions, they all don't like him as a waste material, and hope that he will get out of the royal family as soon as possible, as for the benefits...... That was the only place he had now, the Nine Kings' Mansion.

Each prince and princess has their own mansion, and a territory around it, Xia Jiang is no exception, although the territory under his current control is not large, it is equivalent to the size of several villages in his previous life, and if it is used properly, he can also do a lot of things.

But these are not permanent for him, and if he is expelled from the royal family, the mansion will most likely be given to other princes or princesses.

Take the second prince as an example, he now has three mansions and a huge territory.

And the third princess Xia Yu, who is deeply favored by her father, also has three mansions, and they are even bigger than the second prince, which is why many princes want to get close to her, even he was no exception before, when his mother Concubine Qin was quite status, that Xia Yu was very good to him, and even told him that as long as he could catch up with the cultivation of the third brother and the fourth brother, he would agree to double cultivate with him.

This is also the reason why Xia Jiang is a little unhappy when he sees Xia Yu and the second prince together at this moment, although now he already has a truly ideal cultivation partner in his heart.
