Chapter 1: The Hero's Son

Next Chapter

"Condensation Period, Three Layers!"

Looking at the three white lights that lit up slightly on the test pillar, the expression on the young man's face was a little helpless, and then the corners of one side of his mouth were tightly pursed, his hands were opened, and he pillowed them cross-legged behind his head, pretending to be indifferent, and walked off the test platform stiffly with a whistle, as if his heart was a little numb.

"Li Bai, Qi Condensation Period, Three Layers, Level, Low!", next to the test god pillar, a middle-aged man glanced at the three white lights displayed on the pillar of the eye, and announced it indifferently.

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice came, it unexpectedly caused a commotion in the crowd waiting for the test, and even the elders on the viewing platform in the distance whispered.

"The third floor, still on the third floor, this kid has been on the third floor for five years!"

"Hey, this guy has disgraced his father's face. ”

"I really can't imagine that Elder Li was a genius in cultivation back then, and he still holds the record of the fastest knot in the sect, and he is also a hero in the sect, how can there be a son like him. ”

"Maybe he wasn't Elder Li's biological son at all. ”

"Who knows, the son of a former hero, how could it become like this!"

The boy whistled and walked slowly through the crowd, pretending to be indifferent, but the disdainful ridicule and foul words from around him kept falling into his ears, like sharp thorns piercing his heart, making the boy's pace a little disordered.

The young man insisted on holding his head high, revealing a somewhat delicate white face, some fine hairs on his upper lip, his dark eyes looked straight ahead, and the whispering figures around him passed in the corners of his eyes, and the whistling sound in the young man's mouth seemed even more lonely.

"These people, are they so narrow-minded and stingy, maybe it's because they see the former seed players who are now down like this, satisfying their little perverted psychology--," With a bitter smile, Li Bai silently returned to the team and looked at the viewing platform in the distance, although he couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but he knew that the person sitting in the middle was his father Li Feng.

"Next, Zhuo Ling'er!"

Hearing the screams on the test bench, a girl quickly ran out of the crowd, and the voices around her gradually subsided, and a pair of slightly fiery eyes stared closely at the girl's back.

The girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, although she is not a peerless beauty, but her body that has begun to develop gradually exudes the charm of a woman, especially her slender long legs, which are even more graceful when running, and immediately make her the focus of the audience---。

"Condensation Period, Seven Layers!"

"Zhuo Ling'er, Qi Condensation Period, Seventh Layer! Level, Advanced!"

Hearing the tester's results, the girl jumped up happily, which immediately attracted a whistle from the audience.

"Qi condensation period, the seventh layer, is really powerful, it is already a high level of qi condensation, according to this cultivation speed, you will soon be able to impact the foundation and become a real immortal master. ”

"It's really enviable!"

Listening to the bursts of admiration from the crowd, the young girl's face was full of smiles and vanity, which is a temptation that many girls can't resist~

A few girlfriends with a good relationship surrounded them, laughing and talking to each other, and Zhuo Linger's eyes somehow fell on the lonely figure in the crowd--

Bowing her head and thinking about it for a while, Zhuo Linger still decided to say hello, after all, she was a playmate since childhood, although in recent years, as she grew older, the difference in interests between men and women caused the relationship between the two to begin to drift apart, but after all, those memories from childhood are still very beautiful.

Helplessly, a few girlfriends dragged themselves and didn't let go, and Zhuo Linger didn't force it, maybe she didn't know what to say in the past.

"Alas---", sighed inexplicably, Zhuo Ling'er suddenly thought of the previous vigorous young man, as the son of a hero in the sect, he has been noticed since he was a child, and he is talented and intelligent, he can learn anything, he is polite to his elders, careful to his peers, he takes care of his younger brothers and sisters everywhere, he knows how to share, and his face is always full of bright smiles.

It's a pity that this is a world of cultivation, it took a year to practice qi at the age of three, it took a year to reach the first layer of condensation, five years later the second layer of condensation, and then an average of five years of one layer, and now it will be five years since the third layer of condensation has stagnated.

The young man at the beginning, as the son of a hero, was confident and cheerful and had unlimited potential, I don't know how many seniors expected him, and how many peers envied him.

However, the path of cultivation is always surprising, and the tests again and again continue to wear down people's patience and expectations, and the boy who is polite to his elders and takes care of his younger brothers and sisters, but the response to him is no longer praise and gratitude, but gradually turns into ridicule and disdain.

From hope to disappointment.

Once burdened with the hope of becoming another hero in the sect, it turned into the disappointment of living up to his father's heroic name, so that the boy's smile was no longer bright.

Maybe the higher you stand, the heavier you fall, and you are destined to become a lower-level service member of the sect in the future.

"Next, Li Erbai!"

In the noisy crowd, the tester's voice sounded again.

As the name of the second prisoner sounded, the voices in the crowd immediately quieted down, so their eyes suddenly shifted.

Where everyone's eyes converged, a little fat man in a golden robe stood tremblingly, his round fat face trying to pretend to be serious, but the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more difficult to control under the attention of everyone.

This fat man in gold clothes, in terms of appearance and demeanor, is the same as Zhuo Ling'er in front of him, but his father is a law enforcement elder in the sect who is known for his strict reputation and extreme protection, so it is no wonder that everyone is like this.

The young man with small short legs and small broken steps, the young man named Li Erbai came to the test god pillar, his white and tender fat hand stretched out, and the cheesy golden long sleeves were rolled up, revealing his stubby upper arms, and he was thrown heavily on the god pillar.

"Condensation Period, One Layer, Level: Low!"

Looking at a bright light that lit up slightly on the pillar, the audience was silent.

"It's still on the first floor of the condensation period, and he is the penultimate in this test", after the silence, the surrounding teenagers couldn't help but start talking in a low voice, but no one dared to speak loudly.

Qi practice is the only way for every practitioner, Qi practice is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, form Zhou Tian, condense into true power in the meridians of the body, at this stage the monk can control the magic weapons and charms, with the help of the power of the magic weapons and charms to attack, the monk can use the charm to speed up the movement, far from the ordinary people comparable.

Zhuo Ling'er in the crowd, her eyes were staring at Li Erbai in front of the test god pillar, her eyes were full of jealousy, she had eaten so many elixirs, and she was just a layer of condensation, she really failed to live up to such a good father.

"Okay, okay, the test is over, don't stand in my way," the little fat man waved his hands and pushed away the crowd in front of him, and his slightly sweaty little face was not the slightest dissatisfied because of everyone's discussion, and in the eyes of everyone who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, he hurriedly rushed to the lonely young man on the side of the crowd--

"Brother Bai!", next to the young man, the little fat man happily grabbed the young man's arm and shouted with a look of adoration, and the black lines on the faces of everyone around him.

Looking at the still carefree little fat man in front of him, Li Bai smiled bitterly, he is the one who still sticks to himself every day after he is down, although he doesn't even like his former self with a fat body, but looking at the innocent smile in front of him, there is also a trace of comfort in his heart.

"Brother Bai, don't pay attention to these people, didn't you tell me that there are many meaningful things in this world besides cultivation, such as food and beautiful women!", Li Erbai smiled innocently, and kept glancing at Zhuo Ling'er not far away from the corner of his eyes, although he, a person at the first level of condensation, was really not convincing with comforting words, but his slightly immature voice was refreshing.

"Hehe, yes, there are still a lot of meaningful things, but look at these people, and this world of cultivation, besides, this world doesn't belong to me in the first place." Li Bai smiled self-deprecatingly, revealing helplessness in his words.

Looking at Li Bai's lonely appearance now, even Li Erbai, who has always been heartless, frowned slightly. "Brother Bai, I don't know why you are like this today, didn't you always comfort me before? Brother Bai, I like the way you used to be, you used to take me to play, and took me to find all kinds of fun in this world!", at this point, even the little fat man who has always been cynical showed a rare serious look on his face.

"Hehe", in the face of Li Erbai's seriousness, the young man smiled awkwardly, but didn't say anything, looked at the figure of his father on the viewing platform in the distance, turned around lonely, and walked slowly outside the square.

Although his progress in cultivation was slow, his father never said anything, but Li Bai, who had grown up, could still see the loss in his father's eyes, and he could also understand the invisible pressure brought to his father by the gossip of the people around him.

Gradually, Li Bai also had an urgency and responsibility in his heart for cultivation, but the more this happened, the slower the progress became.

The little fat man Li Erbai silently followed behind, showing a rare quietness.

Li Erbai is the only son of law enforcement elder Li Tianyi, although Li Tianyi and Li Bai's father are not related by blood, but they formed a life-and-death friendship in the battle to protect the sect, so Li Tianyi came to have a son one night, and directly gave his baby bump the name "Li Erbai", saying that the two of them will be brothers in the future.

"him", Li Bai scolded silently in his heart, and reached out to grab Li Erbai's shoulder.

"Let's Go Home"

"Haole", Li Erbai happily showed his signature smile again.
