In a courtyard of the Chu family in Pingyang City.

As it approached noon, the sun shone through the dense foliage and on the thick earth, and a young man sat cross-legged under a tree, scattered with a few yellowing leaves.

This man's name is Chu Feng, he is a third-generation disciple of the Chu family, Chu Feng has been sitting under the tree for three hours, it seems as if he is asleep, but he is actually practicing the exercises.

Chu Feng's cultivation is in the 'Martial Artist Realm', and the Martial Artist Realm is divided into nine levels, and Chu Feng has now cultivated to the fourth level of the Martial Artist.

Today, Chu Feng meditated and practiced for three hours in order to break through to the fifth layer of martial artists, and now it has reached the critical moment of breakthrough, and whether he can break through to the new realm is only a line.

I saw that the blue light on Chu Feng's body flashed, and a momentum emanated from the inside out, and a sound of 'popping beans' sounded in his body, Chu Feng's cheeks twitched slightly, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Poof......

An abrupt voice sounded, Chu Feng leaned forward, his face turned red, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and the blue light and the sound of popping beans on his body also disappeared.

"Whoop......"

Chu Feng gasped heavily, with an unwilling look on his face, and said, "I didn't expect to be injured this time, but I couldn't break through to the fifth layer of the martial artist, I really don't know how long I have to wait." ”

According to what Chu Feng learned, the speed of a person's cultivation realm is related to that person's cultivation qualifications, and the cultivation qualifications are divided into lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade.

Most of the martial artists belong to the lower grade qualifications, and Chu Feng's cultivation qualifications also belong to the lower grades, and only a small number of people have the middle grade qualifications, and the top grade qualifications are very rare.

"Chu Feng!"

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded, shouting Chu Feng's name loudly, Chu Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked up in the direction of the sound.

I saw that a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old ran in the direction of Chu Feng, this man was handsome and tall, and shouted as he ran:

"Chu Feng, it's broken!

"Chu Houping, what are you shouting about? What is the breakthrough? After hearing this man's words, Chu Feng couldn't help frowning slightly and asked.

"Your brother, you have broken through to the realm of the 'Fifth Layer of Martial Artists'. Chu Houping said with some excitement.

"Xiao Yun has broken through to the fifth layer of martial artists!" Chu Feng asked with a strange look, surprised and happy.

"Yes, it was tested on the family's martial arts training ground, and after I saw the results of the test, I hurriedly ran over to tell you. Chu Houping squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"This little kid is really powerful, worthy of my brother. Chu Feng said with a smile.

Chu Feng's younger brother is named Chu Yun, he is only fourteen years old this year, it is said that he is a top-grade cultivation qualification, and he is a famous little genius of the Chu family, and his cultivation speed is a thousand miles away, and he is also the key training object of the Chu family.

Chu Feng and Chu Yun are four years apart, and both brothers have cultivated to the fourth layer of martial arts, and the reason why Chu Feng is in a hurry to break through to the fifth layer of martial arts is that he doesn't want to fall behind his younger brother in cultivation, but he didn't expect him to be surpassed.

"Chu Feng, your younger brother has cultivated to the fifth level of martial arts, what realm have you cultivated to now?" Chu Houping said with a wicked smile on his face.

"Me!"

After hearing Chu Houping's question, Chu Feng showed a wry smile, patted Chu Houping's shoulder, and asked rhetorically: "I am in the same realm as you, what realm have you cultivated to by yourself?"

"Ah, I ......"

Chu Houping wanted to tease Chu Feng, but he didn't expect to wrap himself in, scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Yes, the two of us are half a catty and eight taels, and it is difficult to be a brother." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the martial arts training ground to have a look, and then celebrate Xiaoyun. Chu Feng said as he walked in the direction of the martial arts training ground, with a look on his face that had both pride and a hint of vague loss.

......

At this time, the Chu family's martial arts training ground was very lively, and Chu Yun broke through to the fifth-level realm of martial artists at the age of fourteen, which made many adults sigh to themselves, and they were also full of expectations for this little genius.

In the very center of the martial arts training ground, there was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy standing, his appearance was somewhat similar to Chu Feng, and his face was still immature, and he was surrounded by the crowd of onlookers.

"Brother Chu Yun, you are so amazing. A little girl about ten years old with pigtails said with a smile.

"Chu Yun, how the hell are you cultivating, hurry up and teach me. A fat boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a flattering smile, said.

"Chu Yun, you have to continue to work hard, you are the hope of our Chu family. An adult man said.

"Xie Lu, thank you, I will continue to work hard to cultivate, and I will definitely live up to everyone's care and encouragement. Chu Yun clenched his little fist and shook it in front of him, his face showing a solemn expression, like a little adult.

"Xiaoyun. ”

At this moment, Chu Feng's cry came from outside the crowd, and the somewhat weak and childish name of 'Xiaoyun' immediately made Chu Yun's little adult's image plummet and disappeared.

"Big brother, why are you here. After hearing Chu Feng's shout, Chu Yun walked out of the crowd and muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"You have broken through to the fifth layer of the martial arts realm, of course the eldest brother wants to celebrate for you. Chu Feng glanced at his younger brother, and sure enough, he found that the momentum on his body was much stronger than before, and he had indeed surpassed himself.

"Brother Xie Lu, Brother Xie. Chu Yun smiled and said.

"Brother Chu Feng, now that Brother Xiaoyun's cultivation is higher than yours, you will have to work hard in the future. The little girl with pigtails laughed.

"My brother's cultivation is not as high as my younger brother, so I'm ashamed!" The fat boy also coaxed.

"Hehe......" Everyone in the martial arts training ground also laughed.

"Ahem......"

Chu Feng couldn't help coughing lightly, the expression on his face was a little stiff, although everyone was joking, but it still made him a little embarrassed.

Just when Chu Feng was riding a tiger, there was a commotion on the periphery of the crowd.

"Come and see, Sister Chu Yue is here!" a young man's voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

I saw that a beautiful woman of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a long green dress, with a pretty appearance, a light body, and a graceful step, immediately attracted the attention of many teenagers and girls.

"Sister Chu Yue is so beautiful. In the midst of a group of teenagers and girls, there were bursts of shouts.

"Hello everyone. Chu Yue's pretty face said with a smile.

Chu Yue is a leader of the young generation of the Chu family, with good qualifications, high cultivation, natural beauty, and exquisite posture, and has a high reputation among the young generation of the Chu family.

"Brother Chu Yun, congratulations on breaking through to the fifth layer of martial artists. Chu Yuelian walked over and said to Chu Yun in front of her.

"Xie Lu, Sister Xie Chuyue. Chu Yun responded with a smile, and asked with some curiosity:

"Sister Chu Yue, it's about to be the day of the Tianluo Sect's trial, haven't you been practicing in retreat? Why did you suddenly have time to come out. ”

"Family Master, Zhilu Dao said that you broke through the fifth layer of martial arts, and specially asked me to come to you. Chu Yue said.

"Ah, Uncle the head of the family wants to see me!" Chu Yun said with some surprise.

Not only Chu Yun was surprised, when he heard that the family master had summoned Chu Yun, everyone present showed a look of envy, even Chu Feng who was standing on the side.

"Let's go, don't let the head of the house wait. Chu Yue said.

"It's good. Chu Yun responded with a smile, then turned his head to look at Chu Feng and said, "Brother, then I'll go to see the head of the family first, and I'll go back to you later." ”

"There you go. Chu Feng nodded yes, and then said to Chu Yue on the side: "Chu Yue, Xiaoyun will bother you to take care of it." ”

"You're welcome. Chu Yue responded with a smile, and then, turning around and taking Chu Yun on the side, walked towards the periphery of the crowd, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

After seeing Chu Yun and the two leave, in order to avoid being teased by everyone again, Chu Feng hurriedly took the opportunity to sneak out of the crowd and walked towards the courtyard where he lived.

......

After returning to the courtyard, Chu Feng showed a touch of helplessness, he, who was an elder brother, was not as high as his younger brother's cultivation, and he felt panicked when he thought about it.

In fact, Chu Feng worked very hard in his cultivation, which consumed almost most of his time, but because of his limited talent, it was impossible to compare with his younger brother.

Although Chu Feng was a little depressed in his heart, he was not discouraged, but sat cross-legged as usual, ready to practice the Chu family's exercises, however, when he habitually looked at the wall, he showed a little surprise.

I saw that there was an ancient painting hanging on the opposite wall, and the ancient painting depicted a landscape map, the painting was delicate, the color was soft and lifelike, and the only flaw was that there was a crack in the painting.

This painting is Chu Feng's father's belongings, and Chu Feng hung this painting in his room because he missed his father who went out to practice, and he would look at it twice every day.

At this time, Chu Feng's eyes were fixed on the crack, because he found that the crack on this painting was much smaller than before, which made him feel puzzled.

I have never heard that the crack will get bigger, and I have never seen the crack repair automatically, and Chu Feng also discovered one point, that is, this painting has an extra aura, as if it has been endowed with a soul.

In this unusual situation, Chu Feng walked to the side of this ancient painting, and couldn't help but stretch out his right hand to touch this ancient painting.

Then, an incredible scene appeared, Chu Feng's right hand went directly into the ancient painting, and a suction force came out from his right arm, as if it was going to suck his whole person in.
