Volume 1: Kitazawa Volume Chapter 1: The Boy in Black

"I won, I won!" In the courtyard of an ordinary family, a white little fat man in a golden silk robe danced and jumped in the yard.

A cyan deer-shaped war spirit beside the little fat man raised its head proudly, and the pale cyan vitality swirled on its crystal-green antlers, like the crown of a victor.

......In the corner, a young man in a black cloth robe slowly got up and wiped the snowflakes stuck to his face.

Just now, the boy in cloth lost a position in the movement and revealed a flaw, and was grabbed by the little fat man in the gap, and immediately drove his battle spirit triangle blue-eyed deer to crash over. Beat him by flying three or four meters into the wall as an elder brother.

After it was over, he cheered, completely ignoring the boy's injuries in black.

"Xiaofu is really powerful, and he will definitely be able to get a good ranking in tomorrow's assessment. Come, come and wash up and get ready to eat. A woman hurriedly took out a towel to wipe the sweat of the little fat man, and the wrinkles on her face continued to shake with her smile, and she seemed to be happier than the little fat man.

"Brother, I won again, and I said that you can't do it, how can you participate in the assessment if you don't have a war spirit, it's better to help my father work in the shop. The little fat man turned around and glanced at the black-clothed young man in the corner with disdain in his eyes.

"Tian Fu, Ye Xuan, why are you two fighting again?" The boy in black named Ye Xuan was just about to say something, when a swarthy strong man pushed the door in, his face covered with dust, extremely dazzling in the wind and snow.

"Daddy, you're back. Tian Fu hurriedly ran over.

"I'm going to have an assessment tomorrow, my brother has to practice with me, and I, as a younger brother, have no choice but to help him. Tian Fu came to the strong man with a smile, casually took away the towel that Ye Xuan was going to wipe his sweat, and handed it to his father in front of him.

"Well, you two have to be okay and don't make any trouble. ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go, I bought roast chicken today, eat it while it's hot!" The strong man nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and took out a bag of roast chicken from his back, and the aroma spread in the snow, making people appetite.

"Wow, thank you Dad. Tian Fu hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, took it and ran into the house, his round body was like a ball of meat, and he couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

"Xuan'er, come quickly. The man beckoned.

"Yes, uncle. The boy slapped the snowflakes off his body with a blank face. If the snow soaked his clothes, he didn't have to change his clothes. Originally, he was not wearing a thick coat, only a layer of cotton clothes that had been two years old, which was no longer warm, and a layer of washed white black cloth was worn outside.

"Click. Ye Xuan touched the close-fitting iron armor and shook it twice to correct the misalignment. The impact just now knocked a piece of the iron armor on his chest into it, and several other places were also shaken out of place.

Even though he is nominally his elder brother, Tian Fu does not show the slightest mercy on his subordinates. Fortunately, Ye Xuan deliberately left a flaw just now, and his calculation was very accurate, but he was a little dizzy after being hit.

"Aren't you embarrassed when you take the assessment like this?" Just now, Ye Xuan left no less than twenty flaws, but Tian Fu caught it once, or did he deliberately lose a position and let him hit himself. Originally, he just wanted to try Tian Fu's current strength, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly, and walked into the house with his emaciated body against the wind and snow.

"Here, eat more. At the dinner table, the woman kept putting vegetables into Tian Fu's bowl, and his already large bowl suddenly became a small mountain. Ye Xuan looked at the roast chicken that had been eaten in the center of the table, picked up the chopsticks and hesitated a few times, and reached out to clip the last remaining chicken wing.

"Click. ”

The woman quickly raised her chopsticks and poked them into the chicken rack, grabbed the chicken wings one step ahead of Ye Xuan, and immediately missed Ye Xuan's chopsticks.

"You can't have any leftovers, come, eat quickly. The woman saw that she put the chicken wings in Tian Fu's bowl without looking at Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan's eyes twitched, and silently removed the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried radish and put it in her bowl, her expression returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

The man looked in his eyes but said nothing, still bowing his head to eat.

"Brother, you can eat it too. Tian Fu had a chicken leg in his left hand and a chicken wing in his right hand, smiling inexplicably at Ye Xuan, eighty percent of the meat was eaten by him, and there was only an empty chicken rack left on the table.

"You are a brother, you should eat more. Ye Xuan picked up the leftovers that were placed in his recent place, or the fried radish at noon, and stuffed it into his mouth expressionlessly.

The cold snow wind blew in through the crack in the door, just blowing on Ye Xuan's thin body, blocking the cold for the three of them. Until the end, Ye Xuan's feet were frostbitten.

"Aunt ......" After a long time, Ye Xuan opened his mouth to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the woman interrupted him: "I know what you want to say, if you go to your uncle's blacksmith shop tomorrow, there will be no one to help, and no one will pick the medicinal spring water in the street." I don't have the money to get medicine for your grandmother!"

The woman's speech was so fast that Ye Xuan was speechless like a sharp sword, especially at the end, the sentence "I don't have money to get medicine for your grandmother" aggravated the tone.

"That's right, brother, you don't even have a war spirit, you can't rely on your divine soul power. I'll go to our house, you can still help my dad in the store!" Tian Fu muttered as he finished eating.

Ye Xuan didn't refute after hearing this, and looked at the uncle, he wanted to consult the master of this family.

"Do you really want to go?" The man looked at Ye Xuan's longing eyes and was a little moved, he usually treated him badly. Although it was a child picked up by his mother, Ye Xuan's grandmother, he had been raising it for more than ten years.

"Well, you can get enough water in the shop in advance tonight and come back early. The man finally relented.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ye Xuan immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and laughed happily, but his smile made the woman extremely displeased.

"More than 20 shops on the street need water from Yaoquan Mountain, you go to pick it? That may not earn more than a dozen silver coins, it's about to be the New Year, I want to make another set of cotton clothes for Xiaofu, otherwise it won't be good to do it late!." Madame glared at the man angrily, not wanting to let go of Ye Xuan's laborer.

"I'll pick it up at night, and I won't bother my aunt. Ye Xuan came up with a way, lest he miss the opportunity.

The woman's pair of sharp eyes swept over Ye Xuan, and there was an indescribable disgust: "Okay, okay, anyway, if you go, you will be beaten, so you will rely on our family's small fortune to win glory for the family." ”

"I will definitely get a good ranking mother. Tian Fu wiped a handful of oil from his mouth and patted his chest proudly.

"Well, Xiaofu is awesome!" The woman's gaze shifted to Tian Fu's body and laughed again, which made Ye Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Ye Xuan, like his sister Ye Lan, was picked up by his grandmother, and was not the biological child of the Tian family. Before, my sister had a lot of cultivation talent when she was there, and she pressed Tian Fu to death, and she was superior to him everywhere, which made her aunt resentful. Now that she is gone, her displeasure naturally falls on Ye Xuan, a lonely person.

After eating, it was already completely dark, and Ye Xuan went out with a flat pole and a bucket. There is a spring in the medicinal spring mountain behind the house, the water is extremely clear and contains a variety of medicinal ingredients, which is very good for the human body, and the iron made from this water is even harder.

There were no people outside, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, Ye Xuan had to speed up, and soon a path opened up by one person appeared on the street, and the snow was kicked away.

After more than ten round-trips, Ye Xuan filled the water tank in the blacksmith shop, and Ye Xuan didn't have time to rest, followed by Tian Guangtou, who bought braised meat at the east end of the street.

In the middle of the night, an emaciated figure carried a bucket and kept knocking on the door of the shop again and again in the snowy night to bring water in.

"Huh, why is Xiao Xuan still carrying water so late, can't he do it tomorrow?" The uncle who sold tea eggs was dressed in cotton clothes, and looked at Ye Xuan standing in the wind and snow with some doubts.

"There's something to do tomorrow, so I can only come and disturb it at night. Ye Xuan scratched his head.

"It's okay, it's okay, you take the money, the whole street is counting on you to carry water, don't get tired. ”

"Okay!" Ye Xuan rushed to the next house after accepting the money, and there were many that he didn't have time to rest at all.

The snow was falling heavily on the street, but Ye Xuan was sweating profusely from his head to his feet, and his head was covered with white ice slag.

The last one was an old couple selling flax cakes at the west end of the street, and by the time Ye Xuan brought the water, they had already opened the door and were ready to work.

"Xiao Xuan, why is it so early today?" Grandma was taken aback when she saw Ye Xuan as soon as she opened the door, only to see that he was covered in sweat and his head was covered with ice slag, and hurriedly pulled him into the house.

"You kid won't work all night, will you?"

"I can't do something tomorrow, so I can only do it at night. Ye Xuan put down the bucket and sat in Grandma's room, panting like a cow, barely feeling in his shoulders.

"Old man, come over with a basin of hot water!" Grandma hurriedly went into the house to call someone, but when she came out, she found that Ye Xuan had already fallen asleep on the ground against the wall. It seems that he is really tired, after all, he has been picking water all night, and such a thin body will definitely be tired if he continues like this.

"Tian Fu is really ruthless, and if he is not his own, he should not be looked at by others. Grandma indignantly wiped the ice slag on Ye Xuan's head and the sweat stains on his face. His old man wanted to move Ye Xuan to the bed, but Ye Xuan was too heavy to move at all. He wore nearly 300 catties of fine steel armor on his body, so he had to drape a quilt over his body and light a brazier next to him.

"This child, his sister is not around, and his grandmother can't protect him, which really makes him suffer a lot. ”

"Yes, it's such a good boy. ”

The two sighed while kneading their dough, helpless about Ye Xuan's life experience.

This is a world full of strong people, and cultivation is the iron rule for this world to reach the peak. The world is so big that it is divided into four continents, and here is the Eastern Continent, where the human race stands, ruled by three dynasties.

Ye Xuan lived in Beize County within the territory of the Tuoba royal family, which was a very small county, but in his eyes, this was the whole world, the home he relied on to survive.

He longs to go to the outside world, and he also longs to become one of those storytellers who are strong in the backhand wind and rain through cultivating martial arts, but the reality is always cruel, and this world has not issued a pass to Ye Xuan.

When a person reaches the age of twelve, he must open the spiritual wisdom and root bones, and at this time, the spirit is opened by the spirit tablet to open the root bones of the person and awaken the human war spirit. With the Battle Spirit Man, he could absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and open the way of cultivation, but Ye Xuan didn't open anything at the age of twelve.

At that time, the spirit of the spirit tablet appeared, and it did not awaken any powerful war spirit for Ye Xuan, but only awakened another strange power - divine soul power. This kind of power is really too rare, there is not a single person like this in the entire Beize County, and there is no corresponding cultivation method, which is equivalent to Ye Xuan not standing on the starting line.

However, he was not discouraged, and Tian Han, the family martial arts instructor, told him that even if he cultivated his physical body, he could reach the level of a strong man. The so-called cultivation of the physical body is to temper one's physical ability, not relying on the vitality and war spirit, and purely cultivating the physical body. This is equivalent to giving Ye Xuan a hope.

Ye Xuan was a child picked up by the Tian family from the mountains, and he adopted him because of his grandmother. Because the family is iron-striking, Ye Xuan begged his uncle to make him a set of weight-bearing steel armor, which he wears on his body all the time, which is equivalent to refining the bearing capacity of the flesh all the time.

In addition, he has to subsidize his family every day to make iron, and his body is much stronger than his peers, which somewhat makes up for the strength gap between him and his peers.

It's just that the path of cultivation is not easy, Ye Xuan has been practicing hard for many years and finally wants to test his strength, he wants to prove himself in the assessment.

At the same time, he also has something in his heart that he has always wanted to do, he wants to find his sister, Ye Lan......
