Chapter 22: The Martial Arts Begin!

Autumn goes to winter, and the fine snow flutters and swirls in the cold wind of early winter, which is the first snow of the year in Jinhuan City.

In this kind of weather, the doors of each family should be closed, and the family sits around the fire and enjoys themselves.

However, today is different, early in the morning, the streets and alleys are crowded, men, women and children wrapped in thick cotton clothes, all rushing in the same direction, Jin Huan City martial arts arena.

Zhang's family.

"Patriarch, the last place, do we really have to give up!"

In front of the mansion, a rickety old man in the crowd asked, looking quite unwilling in his words.

"What, do you have the right person?"

Zhang Tai seemed to be quite impatient and said coldly.

When the old man heard this, he was choked and couldn't do anything, but just shook his head and sighed lightly.

"Alright, everyone is here, let's go!"

Zhang Tai turned around, his eyes swept over everyone, and then he waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the gate of the mansion.

"Wait!"

Everyone had only taken two steps, but suddenly there was a crisp voice from the young man behind them, suspicious in their hearts, looking back, and after seeing the people clearly, they were all surprised, with strange expressions, and they exchanged heads and ears in twos and threes, muttering quietly.

"Father, I want to go with me too, can I?"

"Yan'er?... Yes, of course..."

Along the way, everyone was silent, only the 'squeak' sound of stepping on the snow was particularly clear.

"Brother Yang Yan, what's the matter, in previous years, all the clans would martial arts, he was all closed, how could he take the initiative to ask to go with him this year..."

Zi Ling took Yang Yan's arm and walked at the back of the line, muttering to himself in his heart.

Although Zi Ling can't suffer from cultivation, he is quite interested in the 'All Clans Martial Arts' that is only once a year, but because Yang Yan's strength has been stagnant over the years, so on this day every year, he will choose to close his door, and Zi Ling is also interested and will not disturb Yang Yan on this day;

Not only Zi Ling, but even Zhang Tai and many other clansmen were quite puzzled by Yang Yan's approach, but it was not easy to ask each other in public, so they had to bury the doubts in their hearts.

"I said which family has such a big scene, it turned out to be the Zhang family!"

When everyone was walking, a rather thick and rough man's voice suddenly sounded behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a group of people not far behind him, about twenty people, led by a middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a wide nose and wide ears, and a scar on his face, it was the patriarch of the Xu family, Xu Tianlong, a short and fat young man beside him, staring at Yang Yan coldly, not that Xu Shaoguang, who is it?

"Yo, isn't this the third young master of the Zhang family? Could it be that he is also one of the contestants? If this is the case, who can meet him in the competition, then there is no need to compete, and he will be directly promoted!"

"Hahaha!"

Behind Xu Tianlong, many people from the Xu family laughed loudly, with a sneering and smug look on their faces.

"Xu Tianlong, don't go too far!"

Zhang Tai saw Xu Tianlong in front of so many people. sneered at Yang Yan, the anger in his heart rose suddenly, and he quickly stepped forward to the former, and the spiritual power of the green wood in his body instantly surged, and the strength of the 'Fifth Layer of the Psychic Realm' exploded instantly, setting off a storm of spiritual power, sweeping towards the direction where the people of the Xu family were!

Caught off guard, only Xu Tianlong and an old man in a gorgeous brocade robe on crutches did not move, and the others were all shaking, taking a few steps back, and even those who were not strong stumbled and fell, screaming again and again.

"He really broke through to the 'Fifth Layer of the Psychic Realm'!"

Although I expected it, I was still quite shocked when I saw it with my own eyes at this time!

Xu Tianlong's face trembled slightly, and he smiled at Zhang Tai.

"Patriarch Zhang doesn't have to be angry, today's 'All Clans Will Martial Arts' is the home of the juniors, we old bones, it's better to watch quietly, farewell!"

After that, he shook his fat body and took the lead in stepping out, and many people from the Xu family behind him hurriedly got up to follow, only the old man in the brocade robe in gorgeous clothes did not say a word from beginning to end, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him, his narrow little eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep, and his behavior was quite strange.

When the old man passed by, Zhang Tai's heart was filled with a chill for no reason, and he was horrified at the moment, and couldn't help but sweep his eyes to the old man, but he saw that the latter was still so old, walking slowly with a cane, leaning forward, and didn't even lift his eyelids...

"Is it a delusion?When did the Xu family have such a person, why have I never seen it before..."

After a small episode on the road, the Zhang family and his party did not encounter any changes again, and successfully arrived at the martial arts arena.

Although he had expected it in his heart, Yang Yan was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

The area of the whole martial arts arena is quite vast, in the center is a high platform paved with hard texture 'white jade', about five zhang long, three zhang wide, the stone platform is surrounded by trapezoidal circular stairs all around, each layer of stairs except for a narrow road left for people to walk at intervals, the rest of the place is covered with seats!

Yang Yan slightly estimated that there were about nearly two thousand seats in total, and most of them had been filled at the moment, all of them were some famous families in Jin Huan City, and there were many other people who came to see the excitement, all of them crowded in the aisle or the outermost part of the martial arts arena.

Yang Yan and his party followed Zhang Tai's footsteps and sat down in turn at a position in front of the stands.

This place is quite close to the 'white jade platform' of the competition, and it is condescending, and every move of the people on the stage can be seen.

Yang Yan swept his eyes around, and found that the Xu family was not far from their left hand, and they also had a team of nearly twenty people on their right hand, led by a middle-aged woman with beautiful facial features, although thin crow's feet were faintly visible at the corners of her eyes, but this did not detract from her charm, but added a few different charms; beside her, there was a girl in a light green skirt robe, although her facial features did not look as delicate and exquisite as Zi Ling, but it gave people a quite comfortable and fresh feeling, and her style was very different from the middle-aged woman next to her。

"See, that's Elder Li Chengfeng Li of Qingxuanmen, that's a powerhouse at the peak of the psychic realm, I didn't expect Qingxuanmen to send him out to sit in the 'All Clans Martial Arts', and I've only seen him once!"

"Yes, I heard that Qingxuanmen also attaches great importance to this 'Martial Arts of All Clans', after all, in more than a month, it will be time for Qingxuanmen to recruit new disciples, and I may be able to find some talented young people in each family in advance..."

Hearing the discussion, Yang Yan's eyes rolled, his gaze stopped at the fat old man at the front of the seat, and looked up and down.
