The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window on Gurung's face.

"Hmm...... It's dawn......" Gurung opened his eyes slightly, deftly turned over and jumped off the bed, stretched his waist, and the joints of his body made a crisp sound like popping beans, and Gurung's eyes narrowed in enjoyment.

After a night of cultivation, Gurung was refreshed, and slightly feeling the friction between the muscles and bones in his body, Gurung knew that he was one step closer to the peak of the second order.

"Young Master Gurung!" There was a knock on the door, Gurung rubbed his dry cheeks, pulled the door open, and found a family guard standing outside the door, a pair of small eyes hidden in his beard looking at him respectfully.

"What's the matter?" Gurung asked curiously.

"Hello Young Master Gurung, my subordinates are on the order of the patriarch and have come to inform the young master to gather at the martial arts arena. The beard bowed slightly, saluted Gurung, and said respectfully.

"Gather at the martial arts arena?" asked Gurung, who asked suspiciously, with curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes, young master, Young Master Ryan has just returned from his travels, and the younger generation of the clan has arrived, and the patriarch instructed the younger ones to inform the young masters to gather in the martial arts arena, and decide the list of people for tomorrow's big competition through talent and level tests. ”

The contest of the younger generation of the Panshi family is held once every five years, as long as the children of the family are not more than 20 years old, they can participate, because of the family population base, the number of young people participating in the contest has increased year by year, and this year, it has broken through to the 300 mark.

"So, Young Master Gurung, in the last few big competitions, they have passed the test the day before to exclude some of the children, and selected the strongest ten to compete in the ring on the day of the big competition. ”

Hearing the explanation of the beard, Gurung nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for coming to tell me, I will be there soon after a little preparation." ”

After saluting Gurung again, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the other young masters.

"Brother Ryan is back...... Gurung muttered with joy on his face, his eyes full of antiquity.

The wide arena was already crowded at the moment, more than three hundred young faces were talking to each other excitedly, most of them were concentrated around the tall Ryan, looking at him with envy or jealousy, while Elena on the other side, there was no figure within a radius of ten meters, which formed a strong contrast with Ryan.

"Boys, move fast and stand in four rows according to the ranks...... Eh...... You, yes, it's you, that first-order kid, what are you doing standing behind Ryan......"

As soon as Gurung stepped into the martial arts arena, he heard Noah's busy voice from a distance, looked at the crowd lined up in four rows, and he consciously walked to the second row with the largest number of people. In these four rows, the first row is the children of the first-order realm, basically they are about ten years old, about a hundred; the second row is the children of the second-order realm, the number is the largest, the number is close to two hundred, except for Gurung, the age is basically over fifteen years old, and the oldest is close to twenty years old; the third row is the children of the third-order realm, in addition to Elena, there are six people, several of them are full of pride between their eyebrows, and their eyes are also slightly disdainful when they look at other low-level children, but they have the capital of pride; only Ryan stands alone outside the crowd, because among the younger generation, he is the only one who has cultivated more than the fourth order。 He is already close to two meters tall, his muscles are like bursting steamed buns, his angular face, and his majestic body stand in place like a statue.

"Brother Ryan!" Gurung finally spotted Ryan and shouted to him.

Ryan, who was in a daze, suddenly heard someone calling his name, turned his head curiously, saw Gurung waving to him, and nodded to Gurung with a smile.

Because of the relationship between his father and his sister, Ryan is naturally very fond of Gurung's little brother, but because he has been focusing on cultivation, Ryan is a little taciturn.

As for Elena, who was standing in the third row, she naturally heard Gurung's shout, and seeing that Gurung didn't notice her, she glanced at him fiercely and gestured her fist at him.

After a short period of commotion, the crowd finally quieted down, and Noah nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the children of the family who were neatly arranged in four rows (three rows to be exact).

"Alright, little ones—" Noah cleared his throat vigorously and shouted loudly, "The family competition once every five years is coming again, and according to the custom, today the family will select ten of the best from the more than three hundred of you to participate in tomorrow's official ring competition......"

Although everyone present had already prepared in their hearts, when Noah said that there were only ten places to participate in tomorrow's competition, most of them still showed a disappointed look. They are basically side members of the Rock Family, and due to their limited resources and talents, there are very few characters who can break through to the third order before the age of twenty. The purpose of their participation in the big competition is very simple, that is, they hope to be valued by the family with their talents, so as to improve the living conditions of their own line.

"Hmph...... A bunch of guys who only know how to daydream......"

"The frog at the bottom of the well, even if it jumps out of the well, is still a toad. ”

"Do you think you can become a phoenix if you fly on a branch?"

......

Several third-order youths gathered together and gloated, until they met Elena's dissatisfied gaze, and they each retracted stupidly.

Feeling everyone's slightly dissatisfied expressions, Noah said unhurriedly: "But...... The selection method is slightly different from the previous session, because of the different ages and talents of the people present, so the cultivation has its own high and low, if it is purely based on personal strength to select the top ten as tomorrow's quota, for some because of the young age, the strength is low, but the talent of the little ones is a little unfair. ”

Looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Noah paused slightly before continuing to speak: "Therefore, after the decision of the Council of Elders, in addition to the ten strongest ones, we will also select ten other talented little guys from among you to be promoted to core disciples......"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone who was dissatisfied before became eager to try it at this moment.

"Then, the first thing to be tested next is the strength and strength talent!" Noah took two steps to the left, revealing a colorless transparent crystal more than one person tall behind him, which was the force and strength crystal on the continent used to test the martial artist's strength and strength talent.

On the Guiyuan Continent, the grades from ordinary to legendary have their corresponding colors, ordinary is white, excellent is green, fine is light blue, rare is dark blue, epic is purple, and legend is orange. Different warriors will strike a full blow to the force spar, and the spar will emit different colors of light according to the ratio of the warrior's strength and realm. However, there is a flaw in the force spar, that is, it cannot test the strength talent of a martial artist above the fourth order - the reason is simple, because the strength of the spar is limited, and the power of the fourth order or higher will destroy it.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Ryan, Gurung, come to me, you don't have to participate in this test. Noah added.

When Noah mentioned Ryan, people's reactions were very flat, his cultivation had already reached the fourth order, and it was natural not to let him participate in the test, but who was Gurung?

Following Ryan, Gurung was very unaccustomed to coming to Noah's side in front of everyone.

"Lord Noah, is this second-order kid the Gurung you are talking about?" asked a pale young man dissatisfied.

"Yes, he's Gurung, what's wrong with you?" Noah smiled playfully.

"Then I wonder what his results are this time?" the young man asked cautiously.

"Full marks, do you have an opinion?" Noah raised an eyebrow.

"The kid doesn't dare, but if Noah-sama can't give a reasonable explanation...... Isn't it a little unfair to all the brothers and sisters present?" This young man was very smart, and did not put himself on the opposite side of Noah, but skillfully transferred the dissatisfaction in his heart to everyone, and watched everyone nod their heads to echo him, and the young man smiled proudly.

"Oh, that's right......" Noah rubbed his temples in distress and asked slowly, "You want an explanation?"

"I'm sure everybody needs this explanation. "Young people don't give an inch.

Noah looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll give you an explanation!

"Grandpa Noah......" Gurung came to Noah and looked at him suspiciously.

Noah pointed to the force measuring spar beside him, and commanded lightly, "Break it." ”
