Chapter 38: Family Tournament
Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, the Zeng family had a small long vacation that lasted about a month.
At that time, whether it was the clansmen at home or the Zeng family members who were doing business outside, they would go home for the New Year.
Zeng Xiaoyu's parents are naturally no exception.
Zeng Xiaoyu looked forward to it, and finally looked forward to the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, and his parents finally went home as scheduled.
The family was finally able to be reunited.
Zeng Xiaoyu felt very happy, as if he had returned to the carefree days of his childhood for the New Year, wearing new clothes, wearing new hats, pressing New Year's money, and setting off firecrackers.
......
The weather in the month of Wax has turned colder.
Before the New Year, the sky began to drift with goose feathers and heavy snow, adding a lot of New Year's flavor and festivity to the end of the year.
The heavy snow at the end of the year heralds a bumper harvest in the coming year.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Zengjiabao was filled with joy, and the clansmen braved the severe cold and gathered together on the martial arts training ground in Zengjiabao.
Even the children who were in retreat not long ago have come out of the customs.
Four or five hundred people gathered in the square, lively and jubilant.
The three elders of the family were also out of the gate, and their faces were also full of festive colors.
Because today, it is the Zeng family's annual martial arts competition and teaching skills conference.
Any outstanding child of the family can go to the ring and challenge other children.
The winner will be challenged by the other children.
Zeng Xiaoyu was like an ordinary teenager, looking around under the ring.
At this time, the martial arts competition had not yet begun, and the ring in the center of the martial arts training ground was noisy.
The news that Zeng Xiaoyu was promoted to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow and defeated Zeng Can had already spread in the family a few months ago.
The people of Zengjiabao no longer dare to treat Zeng Xiaoyu as waste.
On the contrary, some of the teenagers looked at Zeng Xiaoyu and began to become jealous and even in awe.
For example, Zeng Can, as soon as he saw Zeng Xiaoyu from afar, his face showed hatred, he was defeated by Zeng Xiaoyu last time, and he still couldn't let go.
It's just that he also knows that with his strength, he can't beat Zeng Xiaoyu.
Seeing Zeng Xiaoyu's expectant appearance, Zeng Can only felt a blockage in his heart, and said hatefully: "Don't be complacent! My eldest brother retreated not long ago and successfully broke through to the sixth level of the day after tomorrow, which is one level higher than you." When the time comes, see how my eldest brother teaches you a lesson in front of everyone and gives me this evil breath!"
Zeng Can said that, and said to the few teenagers who followed him: "The martial arts competition is about to start, let's go, let's go and occupy a good position first!"
With that, he squeezed into the crowd with a few teenagers, and was suddenly drowned in the crowd.
Zeng Xiaoyu naturally didn't know about Zeng Can's envy and jealousy, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The Zeng family is too small, and there are not too many people who can become Zeng Xiaoyu's opponent.
Zeng Xiaoyu has already set his sights on the outside world.
That's where he used to show his strengths.
Zeng Xiaoyu looked left and right, and suddenly saw his eldest brother Zeng Xiaolong, and his second brother Zeng Xiaoyu was standing with a group of family elites in their twenties.
At this moment, the eldest brother Zeng Xiaolong was beckoning to Zeng Xiaoyu with a smile on his face.
Zeng Xiaoyu smiled shyly, then walked quickly to Zeng Xiaolong's side and shouted, "Big brother, second brother." ”
Zeng Xiaoyu's heart was a little embarrassed, a few months ago, because of the anger in his heart, he once contradicted his second brother Zeng Xiaoyu, and there was a trace of disharmony between the brothers.
But now it seems that Zeng Xiaoyu did not regain Zeng Xiaoyu's anger, but looked at Zeng Xiaoyu, nodded and smiled: "Xiaoyu is good! I didn't expect you to quietly break through to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow! I blamed you at that time!"
Hearing the second brother's sincere apology, Zeng Xiaoyu felt a sour nose, and then immediately forcibly suppressed the urge to cry, shook his head and smiled: "This is not to blame the second brother! ”
Zeng Xiaoyu saw that Zeng Xiaoyu was not angry with himself, and he also showed a relaxed smile.
The brothers looked at each other and smiled, and everything was relieved.
The eldest brother Zeng Xiaolong touched Zeng Xiaoyu's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "I know that this kid will not be trapped in the acquired triple forever! This kid has a very stubborn temper, and in order to break through the acquired triple layer, I don't know how much effort he has put into his back! If Xiaoyu doesn't seek to be motivated, then those of us who are elder brothers, compared with Xiaoyu, are even more models of not seeking progress!"
Zeng Xiaolong's words made the young people around him, including Zeng Xiaoyu, all laugh up.
Xiao Yu is at least five or six years younger than these family elites, and has not yet formed a competitive relationship with them.
Therefore, these young people do not have a sour taste in their hearts for Zeng Xiaoyu's progress like teenagers of the same age, but have a happy mentality.
After all, the family has one less waste wood and one more elite, which is also a good thing for the entire family.
What's more, the good things of the Zeng family have been one after another recently.
First, a mysterious ninefold master of the day after tomorrow appeared, defeating the second and third Luo of the Luo family.
Then there was someone who offered a batch of extremely precious pills to the family.
The elites of these families, each of them were assigned one, and after taking the medicine in retreat, they had all broken through the realm and advanced to the next level.
For example, Zeng Xiaolong has successfully broken through from the Acquired Sevenfold to the Acquired Eightfold, becoming the first third-generation child of the family to break through to the Acquired Eightfold.
Except, of course, Zeng Xiaoyu.
Not only that, Zeng Xiaoyu's second brother Zeng Xiaoyu also successfully broke through from the sixth level of the day after tomorrow to the seventh level of the day after tomorrow......
Therefore, these elites are in a good mood at this time.
Facing the ridicule of the eldest brother, Zeng Xiaoyu smiled shyly and said, "Big brother, you made fun of me, I just don't want to drag our family back!"
Zeng Xiaoyu's words also amused the young people around him, and they all re-examined the not strong young man in front of him with a look of great interest.
Afterwards, the young people began to talk about the family martial arts competition.
These people all look like they are gearing up, and they have a posture that they want to show their skills at this martial arts competition.
But in the end, these young people all laughed and said: "We can compete for other rankings."
But this first place is none other than Brother Xiaolong!
Now Brother Xiaolong's strength is not bad compared to those second-generation top masters in the family!"
When Zeng Xiaolong heard this, there was no pride on his honest face, but he said solemnly: "How can I be compared to the uncles of the family?
For example, my uncle, although he was injured this time, after taking the Barrier Breaking Pill, not only was he healed, but he also successfully broke through to the ninth level of the day after tomorrow!
My second uncle, after taking the Barrier Breaking Pill, is now also an acquired nine-fold master!
Not to mention the mysterious acquired ninefold master hidden in the family!
In front of the elders, those of us who are juniors can only catch up behind!
