Three months later, the high-profile martial arts tournament finally arrived as scheduled.

The tournament is a five-year event in the Village of Heroes.

Everywhere, the younger generation is a symbol of prosperity and prosperity, and the growth of each generation of young people contains the expectations of their elders.

And in the village of heroes, a place where the level of universal power is higher than that of the mundane, young people in their teens and twenties are even stronger.

Swordsmen who can rudimentarily wield a series of weapons can be found everywhere, and most of the young people in the village are in this realm.

Ordinary warrior-level young people are embarrassed to show their faces on the competition platform, for fear that they will become the bottom, but due to the requirements of their own old man, they must play.

A generation of swordsmen who can be called strong in the Liszt Empire can only be regarded as the best among young people in the village of heroes.

At this time of year, the neighborhood of the Village of Heroes gathers at the martial arts arena.

Part of it is to show off its own children, and part of it is to watch others show off their children.

In short, at this time, the atmosphere is always tense.

Chu Fan didn't tell his father what happened that night.

The extra necklace on Chu Fan's neck, Chu Ye didn't ask.

The treasure that Lan Xin said in his mouth was Athena's Tears, but Chu Fan hadn't studied it thoroughly until now.

It is only known that it can give itself an extremely powerful magical affinity and the ability to instantaneously generate magic of the same level.

Chu Fan faintly felt that the grade of this thing was extremely high, and it might even reach the level of the legendary artifact in the legend.

The white-robed mage focuses on feeling the three types of magic of qi, light, water, and the three types of magic, which complement each other, focusing on assistance and healing.

On the other hand, the white-robed mage's attainments in the magic of the earth, fire, and dark systems will be reduced, and at most he can only cast the second-order strength of the earth, fire, and dark magic.

Because as the white-robed mage's perception of the three systems of air, light, and water magic deepens, the three elements of earth, fire, and darkness will instinctively repel the white-robed mage.

The white-robed mage will be weaker than the black-robed mage in terms of attack and magic strength.

But Athena's Tears is like a miracle.

When wearing Athena's Tears, not only will the speed of magic cultivation be increased rapidly, the speed of mana recovery will be accelerated, but also the wearer will be given a full range of magic affinity.

Chu Fan originally planned to take the route of a white-robed mage, but with Athena's Tears, Chu Fan had the potential to march to the entire system of mages.

This is also unique in the history of the Empire.

What's even more terrifying is that it can make people instantaneous with the same level of magic.

You must know that if the accumulation of mana does not reach a higher level of strength, it is impossible to instantaneously generate magic of the same level.

Unless you spend a lot of money in advance to ask a runemaster from the Adventurer's Guild to make a magic scroll.

The reason is simple, the magic is not enough, and the spell comes to make it up.

The process of chanting magic is the process of helping the magician to gather his magic.

However, Athena's Tears omits the process of condensing the mana, allowing the wearer to directly release the magic that matches their maximum mana strength.

And what makes Chu Fan puzzled the most is, why is this necklace called Athena's Tears?

Chu Fan was sure that he had never heard of these words before, but he learned its name the moment he got the necklace.

It feels like ......

Chu Ye's consciousness inheritance.

And it's completely passive, the kind of consciousness transmission that doesn't require one's own cooperation.

Even Chu Fan himself felt that there were too many incredible things happening around him, as if there was a wheel of fate behind him.

Chu Fan went to visit Xili the next day and equipped himself with a twenty-seven cubic meter space ring.

Because he could have reached the same level of magic instantaneously, Chu Fan no longer coveted the magic wand in Xili's house.

After that, he went to visit Bawu again, and selected a heavy hammer made of dark iron from Bawu's martial arts arena and put it into his spatial ring.

Chu Fan has made another breakthrough in the past few months, and has reached the realm of a high-level swordsman.

During the strength level of the swordsman, the other warriors had already chosen their major weapons and were able to use them proficiently.

But Chu Fan was still a little hesitant.

On the one hand, it is because my father always taught himself with his bare hands.

With his father's strength, he must be proficient in major martial arts. He must be proficient in some kind of weapon.

But the strange thing is that he has never taught himself any martial arts, nor has he ever taken out a weapon, but constantly emphasizes laying a solid foundation and refining his body.

On the other hand, it is also because Chu Fan has no special hobby for cold weapons.

As a young man on Earth, Chu Fan is actually more keen on hot weapons.

And there are no guns and ammunition in this world, and Chu Fan's choice of a weapon with a heavy hammer that opens and closes is also to take advantage of it.

A weapon that relied too much on skill to manipulate, Chu Fan did not have the confidence to learn it in a short period of time.

The power of the heavy hammer is relatively more dependent on physical strength, and it has a natural advantage for Chu Fan, who has strong physical strength.

After choosing the weapon, Chu Fan also put some of the healing elixirs that his father always kept at home into the space ring.

Everything is ready.

I'm no longer afraid of being chased and intercepted by a herd of beasts.

And in the past three months, Lan Xin would sneak out of the house almost every day to find Chu Fan.

Lan Xin's father, Lan Xiaotian, naturally wouldn't know about it, but he originally wanted his daughter to be close to Chu Fanduo, so he turned a blind eye.

When Lan Xin told his father Chu Fan that he wanted to marry her, Lan Xiaotian almost stared out of his eyes.

He got so drunk that day that the laughter went to the neighbor's house.

What Chu Fan didn't expect was that his father didn't say anything about it.

Lan Xin's mind can even be seen by himself, his father has experienced countless experiences in his life, how can he not detect the clues of the matter?

But Chu Ye didn't say anything. Even when Chu Fan asked Chu Ye about his feelings, Chu Ye just replied that you know what you know.

This made Chu Fan very confused, and he didn't know what his father meant.

"Father, if I end up winning the tournament, will there be any reward?"

On the eve of the martial arts competition, Chu Fan asked this question very seriously.

"Judging by the way you look, you must have figured out what you should want. ”

Chu Ye just glanced at Chu Fan and knew what Chu Fan was thinking.

"If all goes well, I'm going to marry Lan Xin. ”

"It's not just about getting engaged, I'm talking about marrying her. ”

Chu Fan and Chu Ye looked at each other, and there was no fear in their eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled into Chu Fan's eyes, making Chu Fan's eyes look like they were about to burn.

"I agree. ”

Chu Ye nodded, and no expression appeared on his face.

"Nothing else...... Special requests?"

Father suddenly became so easy to speak, which made Chu Fan a little uncomfortable for a while.

"As long as you can convince Chu Ruo to be your concubine. ”

Chu Ye looked at Chu Fan's gaze with a hint of banter and cynicism for the first time.

This made Chu Fan startled.

I have the impression that my father, who has always been rigid and strict, would make such jokes?

And it was so well opened.

Is this kind of joke-specific expression something that can be made by a father's face?

"Daddy, are you alright?"

Chu Fan was a little hesitant, he didn't know what happened to his father today, and what medicine he had taken wrong.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

"If you win, you will carry a burden for the rest of your life that you cannot bear. If you are defeated, you will be dashing and unrestrained. ”

"If you win, you won't regret it. If you lose...... You may regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"Because you are my son. ”

Chu Ye put away his joking gesture and said to Chu Fan in the most formal tone of his life.

The weight of these few words made Chu Fan a little breathless.

"If I want to marry Lan Xin, do I have to win?"

"It's okay to lose. ”

"If I want to travel out of the village, do I have to win?"

"It's okay to lose. ”

"If I want to know the secrets of my body, do I have to win?"

“......”

"If I want to know where the other world in my mind is, do I have to win?"

“......”

"If I want to know my mother's background, do I have to win?"

Chu Fan stared at Chu Ye with burning eyes, and step by step, he felt the desolation that his father emanated from the inside out.

Chu Ye lowered his head and sighed, and when he looked at Chu Fan again, there was a trace of pleading in the eyes of this strong and resolute man.

"You have to win. ”

"Father, I will definitely win. ”

Although his father has been trying his best to hide it, the father and son are connected, and Chu Fanyan can not know his father's expectations.

Father is a powerful person, at least in Chu Fan's cognition, he has never met anyone more powerful than his father until now.

According to Uncle Bawu, Bawu himself is at least the strength of the Sword King. According to Grandpa Healy, he himself is at least the strength of a Magister.

The two most powerful people in the village have great respect for their father.

Is it just because of his father's special relationship with Chu Cang Sword Saint?

My father's strength must have accounted for a large part of it.

So what kind of state did the father reach?

High-level Sword King, Sword Emperor, or ......

Chu Fan didn't think about it anymore, because Chu Ye had never shown his strength once, and Chu Fan didn't have a clear understanding of Chu Ye's strength.

"There are some things that I don't want to tell you, but I can't say. Or rather, it's because ......"

Chu Ye glanced up at Tianxing, as if he had fallen into some memory.

"Chu Xiaofan~Chu Xiaodu~Chu Xiaostin~"

A crisp and melodious voice like a wind chime came, instantly breaking the heavy atmosphere between father and son.

Lan Xin pushed the door in, carrying a basket of freshly baked rainbow buns in her hand, which she had just bought from Aunt Shen.

After learning that Chu Fan likes to eat rainbow buns, she has to send Chu Fan something to eat almost every time she comes over, and there will definitely be rainbow buns among them.

She was afraid that Chu Fan would get tired of eating every day, so she tried to bring other different things every time, and rainbow buns sometimes only accounted for a part of them.

Lan Xin treats Chu Fan very gently and carefully, although he has not yet passed the door, he has already begun to take care of Chu Fan like a sensible little daughter-in-law.

Today, what Lan Xin saw was not Chu Fan, but Chu Ye.

This made Lan Xin very embarrassed, in her impression, usually Chu Ye would go to the mountains to cultivate at this time.

Even if he didn't go to the mountains to cultivate, Chu Ye would make some special movements when he was cultivating at home.

In this way, Lan Xin will make preparations in advance before entering the door, and put on a ladylike posture outside the door, and respectfully visit the door.

I didn't expect Chu Ye to be at home today, and the yard was still so quiet......

Lan Xin couldn't get off the stage, turned around with a red face, and was about to go home directly.

"It's all here, let's eat with Xiaofan. ”

The person who spoke was Chu Ye.

Chu Fan looked at his father in amazement, he actually took the initiative to leave Lan Xin at home for dinner today.

Lan Xin was originally shy and timid, but when he heard that his future father-in-law had left him to eat, he immediately raised the corners of his mouth happily, turned his head and kept nodding his little head.

"Uncle Chu Ye, I didn't know that you were at home just now, please forgive me for any rudeness. ”

Lan Xin clenched his small fist and shook it in front of his chest.

She remembered what her father had said to her, even if she was close to Chu Fan, she must be respectful to Uncle Chu Ye.

"Father didn't care about these superficial manners. Chu Fan said with a smile.

"I'll go out, Xiaofan will rest early. The competition will start tomorrow morning. ”

Chu Ye may have felt that he was like a 1,000-watt light bulb at home, so he simply found an excuse to go out.

Chu Ye walked past Lan Xin, although his body was not happy, Lan Xin felt that the air around him was a little distorted.

A moment later, another word of encouragement came through the air.

"Xiaofan, be reserved. ”

may be afraid that Chu Fan is young and ignorant, does not know how to control himself, and finally makes something happen, Chu Ye also deliberately left such a sentence.

Chu Fan couldn't laugh or cry, how could he not understand what his father meant when he was a human being in two lives.

's father was afraid that he would arch Lan Xin too early, and he was too young to explain to Lan Xin's father.

"Uncle Chu Ye is so powerful. ”

Lan Xin walked to Chu Fan's side and simply hung his whole body on Chu Fan.

"Xiao Fan, in the future, you will definitely be even more powerful than Uncle Chu Ye. ”

The eyes that were as clear as a clear spring were full of attachment to Chu Fan.
