The sun was shining brightly, and the golden sunlight shone through the dense towering trees and into the secluded proving grounds. Under the sun, the young man's figure stood resolutely upright, constantly bearing the overload brought by multiple pieces of golden jade.

The resolute face of the boy is always tense, no matter how difficult it is, it is always the same.

When the weight-bearing practice was over, the boy would return to his room and throw his sturdy body into the bathtub. In the tub, the fiery red liquid makes a high-pitched "zez" sound when it touches its body. At the same time, the skin on the young man's face was extremely tight and red.

The miraculous effect of this liquid liquid penetrates directly into the pores and burns the muscles. In this way, the pain is almost powerless to stop it, and the only way to bear it is to persevere it with perseverance.

And in the end, the pain of scorching the muscles finally ended, but the young man immediately threw himself into the ban, using the effect of the ban to squeeze the muscles. The suffocating pain can even directly stimulate the depths of the soul.

This cruel practice continued day after day, over and over again. In the blink of an eye, another year passed quickly.

The sky was full of frost and fog, and the wind was cold. The bitter cold of winter has made the whole earth fall silent. However, today's Qiaojia City is unusually lively, and almost every family gathers in the clan and goes to a certain place.

On this day, almost most of the clansmen temporarily stopped working. Because, they are going to participate in, or to observe the competition of young children in the clan every three years. The definition of the competition conference is to set up a platform and opportunity for young people to compete, and finally select capable talents for reuse within the clan. Those who can be selected will have countless opportunities to make a difference in the future.

And this conference is undoubtedly the most exciting and lively existence. Whether it's to observe, or to participate, or to bring your own children to participate, they are all full of excitement. No matter who it is, they will fantasize about showing their glory at the conference, getting ahead, and finally being selected by the honor of the clan and becoming the pillar of the family. These things, even for immortal cultivators, are extremely tempting.

Once this time has passed, those who have not yet registered have no right to participate in the current competition. In addition, those over the age of 22 are not entitled to stand for election.

In order to ensure the fairness of the conference, the use of things like talisman elixirs is absolutely strictly prohibited. Of course, among the members of the Qiao family, there has never been a person who can build a foundation before the age of twenty-two, so there is no explicit provision for the use of magic weapons.

In addition to these main rules, the rest are some general rules. The system of the competition meeting is to divide the competition, and through the screening one by one, the five best members are finally selected. Among them, even if it can be ranked fifth, among the younger generations of the clan, it is also an absolutely beautiful existence.

In the center of the noisy Qiao family city, directly below the Qiao family's meeting hall, there is the most spacious area in the clan. The huge square is full of well-built rings, and around the ring, there are crowds of people and loud noise.

For the young clansmen, this is an opportunity, so to speak, an opportunity that has been waiting for three years. Among them, there are newcomers who have just emerged, and there are also old people who have participated many times, but in the end they have not been popularized. For them, in life, there is a moment of struggle, all for the sake of existence at this moment.

They stood quietly at the bottom of the stage, waiting for the deacons and elders to come and preside over the assembly, their faces full of nervousness and excitement. And some other onlookers, but they are light-faced, talking and laughing, basically discussing who will advance this year, who will win the championship and other topics.

Although this kind of competition is held once every three years, people who have participated in it and won the ranking can still continue to run as long as they are not over the age of 22. If you can get rankings one after another, it will not only greatly improve your reputation in the clan, but also be valued by the family, so that the future is bright.

In the past two conferences, the top five participants in the clan competition have hardly changed, and they are basically the powerful disciples of the elders, or the sons and daughters. Of course, there is also the saying that there is one of the young children who has not participated in a single competition, and if he does, he will surely be the champion. This person is naturally Qiao Teng, the young master of the Qiao family, whose strength is definitely a well-deserved overlord among the young clansmen.

In addition to these topics, there are also a few people who are talking about what will happen after the conference. At the end of each assembly, a feast is held in the clan to celebrate the elected clansmen. It can be said that it is the largest collective activity in Qiaojiacheng. Every time the feast begins, the clan is full of jubilation, and everyone yearns for it.

In the crowd, when a maple-red figure and a black-clothed figure walked in the direction of the ring together, everywhere they passed, they all gave way to a way. These two people are the two sons of the Great Elder, Qiao Ba and Qiao Nan.

The former of these two is the champion candidate who has won the first place in a row in the past two years. As soon as this party entered, it caused a lot of restlessness. Of course, there are obviously many people who are false and wronged, after all, although Qiao Ba's reputation is great, it is not good.

It wasn't long before another big commotion sounded at the entrance street. Under the retreat of everyone and the gathering of eyes, a girl about eighteen years old, but with a charming temperament and attractive charm, moved lotus steps from the crowd and walked slowly.

The girl was wearing a short cyan skirt, revealing a slender and fair leg. On the bare shoulders of incense, a fine transparent tulle hangs, lightly covering the chest, and the scene is looming, and many people who are approaching cannot take their eyes off it.

Although his dress is revealing, his noble identity is obvious within the clan. His temperament is particularly like a person, and that is the second elder Qiao Mei. The reason is very simple, this charming girl is the second elder's personal disciple, Qiao Rou.

Don't look at its delicate and delicate appearance, as if a gust of wind can sweep it away. But in fact, she has the eightfold cultivation of qi refining, and the charm she cultivates is even more breathtaking. Fighting against it, the slightest distraction may be fascinated by it, resulting in becoming a lamb to be slaughtered by the opponent.

The second player in these two conferences is this Qiao Rou.

In addition to her, among the remaining three players in the top five, they were Qiao Yue, the son of the Third Elder, Qiao Miao, the daughter of the Fourth Elder, and Qiao Yao, the disciple of the Fifth Elder. These three people are all in the Qi Refining Sevenfold Realm, and they are all exactly twenty-two years old, and the difference in strength is not obvious, so the rankings have been staggered in the past two years.

In terms of talent, all three of them are indeed very well qualified. However, compared to Qiao Rou and Qiao Ba, these two perverted talents who are only nineteen years old this year are obviously much worse. After all, if you participate in the competition at the age of ten, you can continue to win rankings, and it is not rare to have defeated the glorious deeds of a twenty-two-year-old clansman. But Rao is like this, and they are still praised by the young people as "pillars of talent".

Among the elders, only the sixth elder, Qiao Zheng, had no children or disciples in his family, and he had won a place at the conference. Don't say the top five, not even the top 30. And Qiao Zheng's statement is gradually declining, which is also the main reason.

"This year it still looks the same, still with such a proud and proud look. In the crowd, Qiao Rou and Qiao Ba met, the former was a jade arm hugging lightly, and the charming voice was gently spit out, provoking Qiao Nan, who was standing next to him, his eyes were full of evil light.

"Hmph, don't you want to play any tricks with me, your tricks won't work for me. When Qiao Ba heard this, he just sneered, but when he spoke, he didn't dare to look directly at the former.

This subtle move made a hint of imperceptible smile flash in De Qiao's beautiful eyes. She did hear a lot of this kind of talk, but it was just those duplicitous men who deliberately elevated themselves and looked sanctimonious. For her own charm, she has the same absolute confidence as her master.

"Hey, have you heard about it, Qiao Yu, the second son of the Sixth Elder this year, seems to be preparing to participate in the election, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"I think it should be true, after all, in recent years, Qiao Yu's name has been resounding all over the clan, and even in Fang City, he has made a great statement, with his ability, he should not come to participate in this kind of grand event. ”

At this moment, there was a discussion of some young children nearby. When these discussions reached the ears of Qiao Ba and the others, their expressions obviously fluctuated subtly.

"You say, that little guy named Qiao Yu, do you dare to come this year?" Qiao Rou got closer to Qiao Ba, and the ethereal and moving voice came out again.

Originally, Qiao Ba, who was a little moved because of the former's charming, immediately turned gloomy after hearing the name "Qiao Yu". Seeing that he snorted coldly, he said with a smile: "If he dares to come, I will definitely ask him to lie down and go out." ”

"The little woman will see. Qiao Roujiao laughed constantly, she knew a little about the relationship between Qiao Ba and Qiao Yu. She is also a little curious about what kind of show these two "monsters" will put on in the end.

However, to everyone's disappointment, until the start of the competition, Qiao Yu did not appear in the field. In this regard, the vast majority of the clansmen think that the former is afraid of Qiao Ba's strength, and the title of "genius" also puts too much pressure on him, so that he does not dare to face it.

All in all, just because he didn't show up, Qiao Yu's reputation was immediately negatively affected. However, after the patriarch Qiao Yuan spoke, the competition conference officially began, and this point was forgotten.

At this time, in the corner of the crowd, a blue figure was being blocked by several other people, making it difficult for others to see his face. This figure, with a pair of sharp starry eyes, stared closely at somewhere in front of the crowd, on a maple red figure. Among them, there is a faint flash of fierceness.
