The wide marble square is classical and solemn, and more than 100 cultivators in the clan stand around, but today, they are just spectators.

On the high platform on the left side of the square, there are several elders of the Xu family and the heads of various industries, and the position in the middle is naturally Xu Zijie himself, on his left is Elder Huang, and on the right is Elder Sun. It can be seen that in the Xu family, strength determines everything.

Around the huge yin-yang fish in the middle of the square, there are more than a dozen children waiting for the test, both men and women, all in their teens, these people are the protagonists of today, and it can be seen from their nervous cheeks how important this test is.

Among them, the only one who seems to be calm is of course Xu Yang, in the same age group, he is the only one among the dozen or so people who has reached the Huiling Realm, when he enters this test, in fact, the ownership of the champion has already been decided, at least, most people think so.

In the center of the square, on the huge yin-yang fish, stood a swordsman with a cold face like a knife, who was the host of this test.

However, a long time has passed since the test, and the host still has not announced the start of the test, because the children who need to be tested have not yet arrived, and the one missing is the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Chen.

"Elder Sun, where has Chen'er gone? Why hasn't he come yet? ”

On the high platform, Xu Zijie seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and turned his head to ask.

Elder Sun frowned, and said tremblingly, "This kid won't be afraid of losing and won't dare to come, right? Actually, I told him a long time ago that he can not participate in this test." ”

"Alas!"

Xu Zijie sighed and said, "That's right, it's really too difficult for him, he is too far away from the other children, and it doesn't matter if he tests it or not." ”

Elder Sun nodded approvingly, and said in a low voice: "Family Master, if you want me to say, you better let the eldest young master do what he can, he is so ambitious, and he will only harm himself in the end!"

Xu Zijie shook his head slowly, and said helplessly: "This dust is too stubborn, no one can persuade him, just like his dead mother." In fact, I still hope that he will come, so that the facts can educate him, and save him all the way to the dark. ”

Elder Huang on the side also echoed and said, "Yes, some things can't be compared, look at the second young master, it's a good material for cultivation at a glance!"

Xu Zijie instantly had a smile on his face, and he couldn't stop nodding, Xu Yang was already all his hope.

When the three of them were talking, they saw that the eyes of everyone in the audience suddenly looked at the entrance of the square, and Xu Zijie also turned his eyes and looked over.

At the entrance of the square, a thin figure slowly walked towards the center, he carried a long sword on his back, but his eyes were slightly misty, his eyes kept scanning the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

Lao Wu said that he would accompany him to the square today, but Xu Chen waited until just now, and Lao Wu never appeared, so he had to come to the square alone.

After looking at all the people in the square, Xu Chen still couldn't find a trace of Lao Wu, so he had to come to the center of the place.

Looking at Xu Chen, who was dazed, Xu Yang, who was not far away, felt proud, and said in a low voice, "Hmph!

The other disciples also blamed in a low voice because of Xu Chen's tardiness, but after a while, they regained their calm, after all, a waste is not worth talking about for so long.

"Master of the family, how do I feel that the eldest young master is a little weird. ”

Elder Sun glanced at Xu Chen and asked casually.

Xu Zijie glanced at it and said with a smile: "Chen'er has never seen such a big scene, it should be stage fright! It's okay, I just hope he won't be too discouraged after the test!"

After Xu Zijie finished talking to Elder Sun, he stood up, looked around the square, and said in a majestic voice: "Since everyone has arrived, then I will say a few words first!"

"You're all the best in the family, and I think you all know the importance of today's test, so hopefully you can all perform at your normal level today. The rules of this test are elimination, and after the draw, two pairs are required, and the winner can advance to the next round of the battle, and so on. This test is to prepare for the competition with the Zhao family in a few days, and in the test, the final three winners can participate in the competition with the Zhao family, which is also the best opportunity to show your strength in the family. ”

Xu Zijie said that there was a sudden pause, subconsciously glanced at Xu Chen in the crowd, and said softly: "Of course, if you lose in this test, don't be discouraged, after all, everyone's talent and experience are different, and there are other opportunities to contribute to the family." ”

Although Xu Zijie did not name him, the eyes of everyone on the field were cast towards Xu Chen, and they knew that Xu Zijie had always been extremely stern and would never say such comforting words. The one who can make him say such things must be Xu Chen.

"Cut! It's so useless and so protective, it's really ......."

Whispers were heard from the crowd.

"Okay! If you don't have any objections, now is the time to start!"

After speaking, Xu Zijie glanced at the swordsman in the middle of the field.

The swordsman nodded respectfully at the high platform, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, then the lottery will start now, since there are fifteen people to be tested, so one person will have a bye in the first round, good luck to you." ”

As he spoke, the swordsman took out an iron plate from behind him, and there were many neat stacks of paper on the iron plate, no need to count them, it must be fifteen, and one of them will be blank, and the rest will be one to seven, seven numbers, each number will naturally have two, and two of the same number are the two sides of the battle.

More than a dozen children rushed up, each took one, and excitedly opened it to find their opponent.

In the end, there was still one left in the iron plate, and just when everyone was puzzled, they saw Xu Chen come to the swordsman's side, and gently picked up the last note.

When Xu Chen slowly opened the note, even he was surprised, it turned out that what he got in his hand was the only blank one.

When the swordsman saw this, he smiled and said, "Great young master, what a lucky man!"

Xu Chen also smiled at this swordsman, but didn't say anything.

Everyone knows that although this random selection is very fair, but being able to avoid this first round of competition will naturally take a big advantage, not only can you consume less physical strength and true qi, but also adjust your mentality.

The sound of tsk next to him sounded, and some jealous people would secretly say something, "shit luck" or something like that. However, this is providential, and no one has come out to oppose it.

The swordsman nodded and said, "If no one has any objections, then ......"

"I don't think it's fair!"

Before the swordsman could finish speaking, a slightly excited voice sounded in the crowd.

As soon as the words fell, a young man who seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring walked out of the crowd, his eyes glanced at Xu Chen with disdain, and came to the front of the sword master, "This is not fair, it can't be him who has a bye." As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Chen.

Xu Chen's brows tightened when he heard this, and he looked over coldly, the young man didn't know him, but he was extremely angry in his heart, which was obviously aimed at himself.

At this time, the sword master looked at the young man and said, "Xu Ming, then you should tell me that it is unfair? Could it be that someone cheated!"

Xu Ming said coldly: "No one cheats, but it's unfair for him to have a bye!" As he spoke, he pointed at Xu Chen angrily.

"Xu Ming?"

Xu Chen groaned, but he couldn't remember which uncle's son the other party was. But at this time, he was already angry. He didn't want a bye, but since the draw is over, why should he target himself?

Xu Chen slowly came to Xu Ming's face, looked at each other, and said calmly: "Xu Ming, right?

Xu Ming's eyes widened, fearless, and said loudly: "Don't you know in your own heart?" His burning eyes seemed to pierce Xu Chen's heart.

"What do I know? At this time, who is randomly selected, isn't it the same who gets this blank?"

Xu Ming was even more disdainful when he heard this, narrowed his eyes and said: "Hmph! What are you pretending to be pure, you are the lowest cultivation among these people, you don't know yourself? This blank can be given to anyone, but you can't give it to you, because according to your strength, you should be eliminated in the first round, but because you got this one, you can go directly to the second round, do you think it's fair?"

As he spoke, Xu Ming also looked around at the other dozen or so people and kept nodding.

The others naturally didn't want to see Xu Chen, and when he drew this bye ticket, he was even more jealous in his heart, and he kept nodding with Xu Ming.

It's really good people who are bullied by others, and horses who are good at being ridden.

Xu Chen hesitated for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Okay! It doesn't matter if I want this, Xu Ming!"

When Xu Ming heard this, he felt that the opportunity had come, and handed his own one in front of Xu Chen, "That! I'm No. 1." ”

Who knows, Xu Chen didn't even look at it, looked around and said, "Which one else is No. 1, I am willing to change it with him." ”

Xu Ming felt like he had been tricked when he heard it, and glanced at Xu Chen hatefully, but he couldn't say anything.

"It's me!"

A familiar voice sounded, Xu Chen followed the voice and looked, sure enough, it was Xu Yang.

Xu Chen instantly understood, why others didn't object, only Xu Ming objected, it turned out that he knew that his opponent was Xu Yang!

But the words have already been spoken, so naturally there is no reason to swallow them back.

Xu Chen stepped in front of Xu Yang and said coldly, "Then are you willing to change with me?"

Xu Yang sneered and said, "Why don't you change with Xu Ming?"

"Humph!"

Xu Chen snorted coldly, "I'm afraid of you, I won't come today, I'll clean him up and I'll clean you up later!"

As soon as these words came out, the people next to them couldn't help laughing.
