In the early morning, the sky has just turned white, and among the shadows, there is already a person sweating on the martial arts training ground...
This is Tianfeng City, the main residence of the Ling family.
drink!
The crisp shout tore through the dawn sky, and the boy's appearance could be seen clearly.
He looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, slightly taller and thinner, with an unhealthy complexion to his skin.
This should be due to malnutrition, but the young man looks heroic. Although he is not handsome, he definitely has the aura that a warrior should have.
It was just dawn at this time, and the roosters in the yard had not crowed yet, let alone other people. He was the only one practicing martial arts in a huge martial arts field, sweating like rain.
"Grandpa said that the stupid bird flies first. I am not as good as others, so I should work ten times and a hundred times harder than others. If you don't believe me, I won't be able to break through to the second level of martial arts! Those people laughed at me today, and I must make them stunned tomorrow!"
The young man's name was Ling Xiao, and he had nothing to do with the Ling family.
About a year ago, in order to expand the strength of the family, the Ling family in Tianfeng City sent out invitations. Anyone with the surname Ling could participate in the Ling family's assessment, and those with outstanding results could be officially absorbed into the Ling family.
He passed the examination and entered the Ling family. At a young age, he followed his grandfather to beg for a living. He actually opened his martial arts veins and was promoted to the first level of martial arts veins because of a broken martial arts book he picked up. He is not a genius.
Even the Ling clan members who were in charge of the assessment praised him highly.
But Ling Xiao knew in his heart that all this was just because of what his grandfather said: "In this world, warriors rule the roost. If you become a warrior, we don't have to beg."
From then on, he practiced day and night, even when he was begging, he did not forget to practice, and this was how he achieved such achievements.
Others thought he was a genius, but in fact he was just practicing more recklessly than others.
After becoming members of the Ling clan, Ling Xiao and his grandfather moved into the house prepared by the Ling family. At this time, Ling Xiao could be said to be full of expectations for the future.
There is a girl named Ling Yu.
She is not from the Tianfeng City Ling family, but her family background is very good.
In the past, Ling Xiao would go to their house to beg for food. This unruly eldest lady would always sneak out after the family went in, throw Ling Xiao's rice bowl on the ground, and then step on it with her little leather boots made of high-grade materials. foot.
By the way, I would also like to say, “I won’t give it to you even if I give it to the dog!”
However, after Ling Xiao entered the Ling family, Ling Yu looked at Ling Xiao differently and even took the initiative to get close to Ling Xiao and make friends. This made Ling Xiao full of pride and determined to go further in martial arts. The family became a blockbuster.
However, the ideal is full and the reality is cruel.
A mere warrior with the first level of martial arts is just a drop in the bucket in the huge Ling family.
The Ling family in Tianfeng City has a population of tens of thousands. With this expansion, the population has reached 20,000 to 30,000, making them almost the absolute overlord of Tianfeng City.
How could such a family really value a first-level martial artist
They randomly pulled out a maid or a servant, and they were all at the first level of martial arts!
The boys and girls of the same age in the Ling family all have a very good foundation. They are all warriors at the second level of martial arts or above, and some even reach the third level of martial arts! The realm of the fourth level of martial arts is an existence that Ling Xiao can only look up to.
Of course, if he could break through to the second level of martial arts within a year, Ling Xiao might also be proud.
However, some things really cannot be forced, because the broken exercise book he picked up before conflicts with the Ling family's basic training methods, so he can only practice it from scratch.
Gradually, he was surpassed by many people who came with him.
But at this time, Ling Yu, who had changed her attitude towards him, once again became that aloof and unruly young lady, because she not only broke through to the second level of martial arts, but also hooked up with the talented disciples of the Ling family.
Ling Xiao, who recognized the reality, did not fall into despair. On the contrary, he did not forget how he came to the Ling family, so he practiced harder and more diligently. He vowed never to be driven away by the Ling family, otherwise his grandfather, who depended on him for life, would not be driven away by the Ling family. Suffer again.
The Ling family stipulates that all outer disciples who cannot break through to the second level of martial arts within a year must be eliminated or simply become servants of the Ling family.
At this time, there was only one month left before Ling Xiao entered the Ling family's one-year limit.
call! ha!
The young man was waving his arms in a roar, and the explosive sound in his mouth was full of fighting spirit.
Ling Xiao knew what would be the result waiting for him in a year, but he would not give up. If he could practice from scratch to the first level of martial arts, he believed that he would be able to cultivate to the second level of martial arts.
At this time, Ling Xiao was practicing the basic martial arts of the Ling family - "Man Niu Jin".
"Manniu Jin" is the most common basic martial arts. It includes exercises and martial arts. It can not only improve the realm, but also be used for fighting. It is considered the favorite basic martial arts of low-level warriors.
This set of "Pretty Bull Strength" had been practiced so many times that Ling Xiao actually felt like it was natural when he fought it, indicating that he was quite suitable for practicing martial arts.
Although this ordinary martial arts is very ordinary, it also has levels - basic, elementary, intermediate, advanced and top!
Five levels, "Manniu Jin" is just the most common basic martial arts.
This level division is naturally not for fun, but because the higher the level, the better the effect of practicing the skills and the greater the power of the martial arts.
Ling Xiao is just an expanded outer disciple, he doesn't even have the blood of the Ling family, and he doesn't show any extraordinary talent, so all he can practice is basic martial arts, even at the elementary level. Martial arts are not eligible for contact.
"I feel like I'm about to break through, but I always get stuck at the most critical place. Alas, it would be great if I could have a breakthrough pill."
After practicing for a long time, Ling Xiao took out his water bag and drank some water, thinking about his helplessness.
After nearly a year of observation, he finally understood that he was no worse than anyone else. It could even be said that because he worked harder, he should be able to advance faster in cultivation.
In fact, the problem still lies in the exercises and elixirs.
The Ling family members and those wealthy outer disciples either have higher-level cultivation techniques, or have the money to purchase breakthrough pills to assist in breakthroughs.
Those disciples of the second level of martial arts have basically used breakthrough pills.
This kind of elixir is not too expensive and has no side effects, but Ling Xiao just can't afford it. The Ling family can provide him with food and drink, which is the greatest kindness, and it is impossible to give him money.
"Go away, I told you, you loser, this is my exclusive land, you are not qualified to practice here!"
When the sun had fully risen, it was already an hour later. Ling Xiao packed up his things and prepared to leave, because he did not want to conflict with the Ling family members.
However it was still too late.
A loud shout rang out, it was Ling Chong, a disciple of the Ling family.
While talking, Ling Chong even jumped up on the high platform and pushed Ling Xiao. Fortunately, Ling Xiao has been practicing hard, so although he has not made a breakthrough in his realm, his body is very strong. Even though he is not good in appearance, there is strength in his thin body. But it's not small.
Ling Chong didn't push him, he stayed there like an old tree.
"Ling Chong, I have no enmity with you, why do you always bully me?"
Ling Xiao was angry. This was not the first time that the other party had treated him like this.
"It's a joke, you think I really like to bully you, you're a loser. It's just that your ears don't work. I've warned you a long time ago not to practice martial arts here. Don't infect us with your trashy attitude."
Ling Chong looked at Ling Xiao, with teasing and amusement in his eyes.
Yes, he did it on purpose, but so what? Of all the outer disciples who had expanded in, Ling Xiao was the only one who dared not listen to him. If not Ling Xiao, who would he cause trouble to
The disciples of the Ling family all have an innate sense of pride. They feel that the expanded outer disciples are just servants with the title of disciple and can be commanded at will.
Therefore, almost all the outer disciples have been bullied by the disciples of the main sect, but some chose to remain silent, some chose to beg for mercy, and Ling Xiao chose to be neither humble nor arrogant.
Ling Xiao didn't want to get into trouble, but if he didn't practice martial arts at a martial arts training ground, he would have to go far away to find a suitable training ground. He also had to take care of his grandfather, so it wouldn't work if it was too far away.
"Ling Chong, you are so useless. Even this outer sect boy can't push him off the martial arts training platform. How can you get away with it?"
"That's right, you are also a warrior at the second level of martial arts, right? This kid is at the first level of martial arts. Are you not as strong as him?"
"Hurry up and order Ling Chong and drive this kid away. We still have to train."
Those who were with Ling Chong were either disciples of his own clan, or outer disciples who had taken refuge with these disciples of his own clan. Anyway, they were all masters who liked to watch the fun.
After all, watching the excitement is not a big deal.
"Damn it, you dare to look down on me, I will slap this kid down right now and let him know what it means to be a warrior!"
Ling Chong was stimulated by the provoking method and looked at Ling Xiao with disdain. Suddenly, he slapped a palm and printed it directly on Ling Xiao's chest.
"Is it enough?"
Blood overflowed from the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, but he did not fall down or fly out.
He could avoid harm by flying out, but he didn't want to think that once a person flinches or is afraid, he will develop such a problem.
He is unwilling!
"This kid! You're looking for death!" Ling Chong became angry and kicked Ling Xiao towards him.
Ling Xiao suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Ling Chong was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided. His kick actually missed and flew directly out of the martial arts training platform.
Looking at Ling Chong who had fallen under the martial arts training platform, a smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face, then he swayed and fell to the ground, unconscious.
