Chapter 48: The Tryouts Begin
The slaughter of Huang Feng's thieves has been in an uproar for more than half a month.
The Changshan guards were busy for a long time, but they still didn't find anything, the city lord Zhao Yunfeng was furious, and even secretly sent several masters of the Zhao family to investigate everywhere, and it seemed that there was nothing to gain.
What's even more strange is that after Xiao Mad was killed, he didn't hear any news from Tian Hengye, who was "walking alone in ten thousand mountains".
As a result, the matter was slowly shelved, and with the arrival of the elite disciple selection competition, it was quickly forgotten.
Vendettas are staged in various parts of the rivers and lakes every day, some people are ecstatic when they get revenge, and some people are killed at the hands of others and die in the barren mountains and mountains, which is not unusual.
People prefer to pay attention to the little things under their noses.
The day before the Elite Disciple Selection Competition, Yang Yi was cultivating in his own small courtyard, and he made amazing progress in all aspects.
After killing Xiao Mad and having a clear idea, Yang Yi found that he had cultivated, and the effect had improved linearly, becoming more and more handy, and the progress of Fang Cun's footwork was gratifying, and he unexpectedly broke through to the realm of Dacheng.
The Divine Soul Perception has also expanded from the original range of 50 meters to more than 120 meters.
The first move of Kang Long's three tricks is faintly about to be consummated, and there seem to be some special changes that are happening, but what the specific changes are, Yang Yi can't say clearly, but he intuitively feels that once this move reaches the consummation, there will be unexpected gains.
The Five Elements Marksmanship was also derived, and gradually broke through to the realm of Xiaocheng.
The only shortcoming is that the cultivation of the twelve forms of form and meaning has encountered a bottleneck.
He had also practiced these twelve styles of boxing in his previous life, and he was very proficient in all of them.
But after cultivating again in this life, Yang Yi found that no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to cultivate this set of boxing techniques to the realm of Xiaocheng, as if there was some strange barrier that kept him stuck out of the door and couldn't do it.
Yang Yi didn't pay much attention to this.
If you can't break through, it can only mean that your realm is not enough, you can't find the key to the problem, and naturally you don't have to force it.
That afternoon, Yang Yi received news that his grandfather, father, mother, third uncle and others all came to Changshan City to cheer for him.
Yang Yi had already signed up to participate in this elite disciple selection competition a few days ago.
In order not to attract special attention from others, Yang Yi did not reveal his cultivation at the peak of the tenth layer of the Body Refining Realm, but only suppressed his cultivation at the ninth layer of the Body Refining Realm with the Star Transformation Technique, which was not visible.
That night, Yang Yi left the martial arts camp and went to the Yang family's courtyard to meet his family.
Grandpa Yang Kaishan is a lot older than last year, his gray hair is already completely white, and he is haggard like an old decay that is about to enter the ground.
Father Yang Xuanlin and mother Yun Rouqing are in slightly better condition, but they also look tired.
The third uncle Yang Xuanshuang didn't belong to his thoughts, and obviously he should still be worried about the matter of the fifth brother Yang Zhan.
Uncle Yang Xuanlei didn't come this time, there was news from the family before, saying that after Yang Hao was swept out of the house by the Lingyun faction, he was taken by the uncle to leave Changshan and go to the rivers and lakes.
Thinking about it, the uncle didn't have any expectations for Yang Lin, so he didn't even care about his family and went directly to his friends in the rivers and lakes.
For his actions, Yang Yi was very resentful.
The Yang family is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the day is precarious, and the uncle's family almost exhausted the Yang family's family funds last year.
Yang Kaishan and Yang Xuanshuang didn't have much thought, and after a few brief words with Yang Yi, they used the excuse that they were tired and went back to the room to rest.
In the living room, only Yang Yi's family of three was left sitting opposite each other.
"Yi'er, how is it? Do you have any confidence that you can pass the assessment?"
Yang Xuanlin looked at his son expectantly.
"Rest assured, father, the child will not let you down. ”
Yang Yi nodded heavily, giving his father a reassuring look.
"Yi'er, you...... You are in Xuanyunzhuang, apart from your second uncle, have you seen any other Yun family members?"
Yun Rouqing has been silent since she saw her son, and at this time she suddenly spoke, looking at her son fixedly.
Yang Yi shook his head.
"Except for the second uncle, the child has not seen any other Yun family members. However, the second uncle said that my grandparents have long been ignoring the things of the year, and I hope you will have time to go back to the Yun family to have a look. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Yi couldn't hide his curiosity.
"Mother, what happened back then, why did you ......"
Yun Rouqing raised her hand to stop Yang Yi's question, glanced at Yang Yi with a complicated expression, and then looked at Yang Xuanlin tenderly.
The husband and wife looked at each other, shared their hearts, and smiled at the same time.
"Yi'er, don't ask about this matter now, when you grow up in the future, even if you don't ask, your father and mother will tell you everything. Your mind now should be all focused on the current selection and assessment, and don't be distracted by anything, understand?"
Yang Xuanlin said earnestly.
Seeing that his parents didn't seem to intend to talk about it, Yang Yi didn't ask any more.
......
Early in the morning of the second day, the martial arts camp was crowded with people, and it became unprecedentedly lively again.
Yang Yi kept his duty to keep a low profile, and quietly blended in the challenger's team, not showing his face.
After the city lord Zhao Yunfeng and the others all arrived at the VIP seat of the martial arts arena and sat down, after the selection competition began, his eyes also looked at the place where everyone in the Yang family was in the audience.
Grandfather Yang Kaishan, father Yang Xuanlin, mother Yun Rouqing, third uncle Yang Xuanshuang, and sister Yang Xiuyun and brother-in-law Zhao Huazhang all appeared in the audience.
Strangely, Yang Yi didn't see his nephew Zhao Xiaohu.
Sister Yang Xiuyun is also sad and worried.
"Could it be that Xiaohu has been taken back to the Zhao Mansion and started to be trained by the Zhao family?"
Seeing this scene, Yang Yi's heart was clouded again.
The shadow that the Zhao family has placed on his Yang family's head is getting heavier and heavier!
Yang Yi took a deep breath, suppressed all kinds of negative emotions in his heart, restrained all the edges, and the whole person was as restrained as a wooden and honest country boy.
This year, the disciples who have cultivated to reach the ninth level or above of the Body Refining Realm, compared to last year, there are dozens more people at once, and counting the twenty people on the challenge seat, there are as many as seventy.
The Great Elder of the Martial Academy still went up to preach the rules of the challenge as usual.
In fact, all the rules, there are no changes.
"The first round of the challenge begins!"
As soon as the Great Elder's voice fell, a young man next to Yang Yi was eager to try and jumped onto the challenge platform at once.
"Disciple Qu Fan, challenge Luo Yunshan in the nineteenth place. ”
What followed was a fierce battle between the two.
It didn't take long for Qu Fan to be knocked out of the ring by Luo Yunshan, and the challenge failed and ended in annoyance.
Immediately afterwards, someone jumped into the ring and directly challenged the eleventh-ranked disciple He Jinsong by name.
He Jinsong could have been ranked among the top ten in this session, but because of the last selection competition, he was more unlucky, not only failed to challenge the top ten disciples, but also lost after being challenged, resulting in a direct fall from the top ten disciples.
"Wang Mao, you also want to challenge me He Jinsong, see if I defeat you with one move!"
After the two of them stood up, He Jinsong was extremely annoyed that someone dared to challenge him, and he was ruthless, and hit the disciple who challenged him with a single sword, which made the audience exclaim in shock.
"Compared with last year, He Jinsong has improved a lot, and he has the strength to enter the top five!"
Many people's eyes flickered, looking at He Jinsong, who sat back on the stage, and secretly calculated.
Yang Yi secretly observed the audience for a while, and then lost interest in this challenge.
Even if He Jinsong, who is in the eleventh place, don't look at the cultivation of the eleventh layer of the Body Refining Realm, it seems to be powerful, but if he is against himself, the other party does not even have the ability to let him use one percent of his strength.
