Tianwu Continent, Great Qin State, Mohe City, Qizi County, Xiao Family.
Xiao Chen was sitting on a house in the backyard of Xiao's family. The sky was blue and white with white clouds, the wind was gentle, and the sky was clear. However, Xiao Chen was in an extremely depressed and unhappy mood.
If I have the chance to go back, I will never buy anything sold on Taobao to death. If I have the chance to go back, I will definitely kill the Taobao merchant who sold him counterfeit medicines and make him a fairy.
After swallowing the elixir, Xiao Chen found that he had indeed ascended, but the world he ascended to was not the legendary fairyland, but a world called Tianwu Continent.
After being confused for a long time, he realized that he had traveled through time and was possessed by a person named Xiao Chen. If it was a normal time travel, he would have endured it.
After all, which time traveler is not awesome and coaxing, killing countless strong men with one raise of his hand, and countless beauties screaming with the wave of his hand.
Tianwu Continent is a world where the strong are respected, but the guy he possesses is indeed an out-and-out loser in cultivation. He is already sixteen years old and has not even successfully condensed his martial soul.
The Xiao family is the largest family in Mohe City, and Xiao Chen is the son of the head of the Xiao family, which sounds quite majestic. But because of his practice as a loser, even the servants in this family look down upon him. It can be said that Xiao Chen's reputation as a loser is known throughout Mohe City, making him despised when he goes out.
"Master Xiao, the elder asked you to go to the martial arts training hall for a strength test. If you have nothing to do, go quickly. I have received the message. Whether you go or not is up to you."
The voice that suddenly came to mind interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts. The speaker was a maid from the Xiao family, but she didn't even look at Xiao Chen on the house. As soon as she finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Chen and just went straight. gone.
Servants who can enter the Xiao family are all qualified to practice. The maid who spoke just now is not very qualified, but she also successfully condensed the martial spirit when she was twelve years old. Xiao Chen was not able to condense the martial spirit at the age of sixteen. The loser is much stronger. In addition, Xiao Chen always likes to talk to these maids because of his status, and his reputation is extremely bad. How can others look down on him.
"A maid dares to despise herself. What did Xiao Chen do in daily life?" After hearing what the maid said, Xiao Chen's mood became worse. After dusting off his buttocks, Xiao Chen jumped from the roof. Come down.
What made Xiao Chen feel worse was not the attitude of the maid, but what the maid said. The Xiao family has a test of strength every three months!
Through the memory of this body, Xiao Chen knew that all the younger generations of the Xiao family must undergo a strength test every three months.
Let's examine the current state of cultivation. Those who make progress will be rewarded, and those who are lazy and stagnant will be punished lightly or severely. Most young disciples will be in a good mood on this day, and some leaders are extremely looking forward to shining on this day.
But this day was a kind of torture for Xiao Chen. His cultivation had stagnated since he was eight years old. He had been in the realm of the ninth level of soul refining, and was still unable to take a step forward to condense his martial soul and become a true soul master. Musha.
This day of the month has been his nightmare every year for eight years. Every time he was tested, he failed to make any progress in the ninth level of soul refining. However, those family members who were the same age as him had already condensed their martial souls and had good talents. He has even reached the peak level of a martial artist and is moving towards becoming a stronger martial artist.
When Xiao Chen rushed to the martial arts training hall, the large martial arts training hall of several hundred square meters was already full of people. If you look carefully, there were more than 800 people. These were the younger generation of the Xiao family, less than 20 years old. At the age of 10, even the weakest ones are in the realm of warriors, which shows how strong the Xiao family, the first family in Mohe City, is.
He randomly found a corner and stood there. He didn't expect to shine here, he just hoped to come and leave quietly.
At this time, there was an old man standing next to the demon-sealing stone used to test everyone's strength. This person was Xiao Qiang, the eldest elder of the Xiao family. His own strength had reached the peak of a great martial artist. In the Xiao family, his strength was second only to Xiao Xiong, the head of the Xiao family. , is also a master with attributes in the entire Mo River City.
There was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy standing in front of the Demon Sealing Stone. The boy was preparing to conduct a test when he accidentally turned around and spotted Xiao Chen in the corner.
The corners of the young man's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint sneer, and said in a sinister tone, "So Brother Chen has been here a long time ago, why are you standing so far away? Since you are here, let Brother Chen do the test first."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. The more you avoid him, the more he will come to you for some things. I was already standing far enough away, but he still noticed me. The speaker's name is Xiao Jian, Xiao Chen's half-brother, and he will tease Xiao Chen every time he is tested.
Xiao Chen started practicing at the age of four. In less than a year, he officially realized the vitality of heaven and earth. It took him another year to reach the first level of soul refining. Three years later, he reached the ninth level of soul refining when he was less than eight years old. He was about to gather his martial soul. His talent at that time could be said to be rare in the Xiao family for a hundred years.
At that time, Xiao Jian was still wandering around the fifth level of soul refining. The eyes of everyone in the Xiao family were focused on Xiao Chen. Various words of praise from the elders in the family appeared on Xiao Chen. Xiao Jian was like a puppet. People have forgotten him.
From then on, he hated Xiao Chen. They were both Xiao Xiong's sons. Why should he be forgotten? And he, Xiao Chen, should be loved by everyone.
It was also due to Xiao Chen's bad luck that his cultivation stagnated after reaching the ninth level of soul refining. After that, no matter how hard he tried, he made no progress, so he just became a dandy and a bad boy.
Xiao Jian, on the other hand, worked steadily and formally formed a martial spirit at the age of nine. Now he has just turned eighteen and is already at the top level of a martial artist. He is only one step away from stepping into the realm of a martial artist and becoming the youngest martial artist in the entire Mo River City.
The surrounding Xiao family children all looked like they were watching a good show. Every time their strength was tested, Xiao Jian would use different methods to humiliate Xiao Chen. They were all used to it. And seeing this former genius transform into what he is now, they all felt an inexplicable pleasure in their hearts.
Xiao Chen did not move and just looked at the group of people coldly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart. Xiao Jian slowly walked towards the crowd. The crowd automatically dispersed and looked at Xiao Chen with a teasing smile.
"Brother Chen, why are you standing still? Are you not giving face to your elder brother?" Xiao Jian said in a conspiratorial tone, grabbing Xiao Chen's wrist with his right hand and trying to pull him forward.
But when he pulled, he found that he couldn't hold Xiao Chen's wrist at all. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. How strong was this useless guy? He was about to use his vitality to make Xiao Chen submit.
Xiao Chen swung his hand violently, and in full view of everyone, he actually shook off Xiao Jian's palm, and said coldly: "Brother, don't bother, I'll go by myself."
There was a murmur of surprise in the crowd, how could this useless person get rid of Xiao Jian's palm? Although Xiao Jian did not use the vitality in his body, his realm had reached the peak of a martial artist, and he was only one step away from reaching the level of a martial artist. The realm is a few realms higher than Xiao Chen's. Could it be that this good-for-nothing had some adventure and had already condensed his martial soul
Xiao Jian, who was thrown away by Xiao Chen, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned ugly. You Xiao Chen actually made me lose face in public. He followed Xiao Chen with a gloomy face, not thinking that it was him. The one who insulted Xiao Chen first.
Xiao Chen, who was standing in front of the Demon Sealing Stone, had a bitter look on his face. He knew very well what state he was in, but there was no way out at this point. The worst he could do was suffer contempt. Thinking of this, he felt calmer. .
Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand to seal on the Demon Sealing Stone, and activated the weak spiritual energy in his body. A trace of spiritual energy flowed from the Dantian along the meridians through the large and small acupuncture points on the arm, and quickly gathered on the right palm. The Demon Sealing Stone attached to the palm of my hand began to change color, slowly turning from pure white to light red at first.
In just a short while, Xiao Chen's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. The Demon-Sealing Stone seemed to have suction. The spiritual energy in his body continued to flow out, but the color of the Demon-Sealing Stone was still light red and never changed again. .
"Xiao Chen, there is no progress in the ninth level of soul refining." Xiao Qiang, the great elder behind the Demon Sealing Stone, said without any emotion.
Xiao Chen shook his head and took back his right hand, wiping the sweat from his forehead. The Xiao family disciples around him also breathed a sigh of relief. This good-for-nothing was indeed the same good-for-nothing as ever. No miracles had happened, and his strength was still at the ninth level of soul refining.
Xiao Jian sneered. In fact, he was startled just now. Now that he thought about it, he was deceiving himself. He immediately returned to his previous idea of teasing Xiao Chen, "Brother Chen, you are really talented. It has been eight years and your cultivation is still there." At the ninth level of soul refining, you are probably the only one in the entire Xiao family, no, in the entire Great Qin Kingdom, who has such a talent, haha!"
The entire Xiao family disciples in the hall also laughed. The elder behind the magic stone frowned slightly, but did not say anything, but felt a little regretful in his heart. Xiao Jian was talented and diligent in cultivation, but he was too measured. He's young, and his future prospects will definitely not be that high. I don't know if this little kid can handle the ten-year appointment in half a year.
Xiao Chen said nothing with a cold face. Isn't this his eldest brother? Instead of comforting him, he took the lead in insulting himself. What's the point of having such an eldest brother? It's okay not to have one!
Xiao Jian stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder a few times, and said with a strange smile, "Brother Chen, don't be discouraged, take your time, maybe in a few years you will be able to gather your martial spirit. Hey, Brother Chen, you Why are you kneeling down? Don’t do this, brother, I can’t bear it.”
The palms that Xiao Jian just took were all made with vitality, and the cultivation of a peak warrior was fully used half way. Xiao Chen just lost his face in public, and he had no intention of letting Xiao Chen go so easily. .
Xiao Chen knelt on the ground with one knee, his forehead covered with sweat. After exerting his vitality, Xiao Jian's hand pressed heavily on his shoulder like a huge force. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
There were also bursts of ridicule from the crowd, "Master Xiao, your cultivation is extremely advanced, but there is no need to express it in this way!"
"Master Xiao is Master Xiao, he is so graceful even when he kneels!"
Xiao Chen closed his eyes, and the nails of his clenched fists dug hard into his flesh. Blood seeped out slowly, and his body kept shaking.
Not willing to give in!
Not willing to give in!
A wave of resentment from the depths of my soul violently impacted Xiao Chen, I won’t give in! is it you? Xiao Chen murmured in his heart that the resentment coming from the depths of the soul was the soul of the body itself. Even though it had been extinguished long ago, today's events violently exploded the resentment accumulated in his heart for eight years. He Not willing to give in!
No one wants to be a waste! No one can bear the ridicule and insults of others for no reason! No one is willing to look up to others for the rest of his life!
You are Xiao Chen, and I, too, am Xiao Chen. Let me, Xiao Chen, lead you to live and wash away the humiliation of these eight years, so that those who laugh at you, insult you and tease you will know what regret is!
Xiao Chen opened his eyes fiercely, and a ray of light swept across. The previous numbness and indifference were swept away, replaced by a determined look. I, Xiao Chen, will never be a waste in my life!
He pressed his body down, rolled backwards quickly, and stood behind the Demon Sealing Stone, looking at Xiao Jian with cold eyes. Xiao Jian was looking proudly at the Xiao family children around him who were laughing at Xiao Chen. He was a little relaxed. He was caught off guard and let Xiao Chen escape his grasp again. He couldn't help but become angry with shame and was about to take action.
A piece of rag flew over and slapped him hard on the face. The force was so strong that Xiao Jian's face was slapped clean. The strip of cloth was torn from Xiao Chen's sleeve, so it was naturally Xiao Chen who made the move.
"Very good, you have accepted it. In seven days, I will challenge you to a life and death duel here. From today on, you will not be my eldest brother, never!" Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Jian and said coldly, his voice It was as cold as if it came from the Nine Nether Hells.
Xiao Jian, whose face was already turning purple with anger, suddenly stopped condensing the vitality in his hands when he heard these words, and dispersed the martial skill "Flame Slash" that was about to be used. He was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, and revealed He looked at Xiao Chen with an expression that looked like a monster.
Not only him, but the entire martial arts training ground also understood the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, "You have already taken it." The people around him first made a noise, and then looked at Xiao Chen with expressions like looking at monsters.
Duel ceremony!
What Xiao Chen just used was the dueling ceremony on Tianwu Continent. There are many dueling ceremonies on Tianwu Continent. For example, you can throw your handkerchief to the other party and express your consent as long as the other party catches it. The nature of this kind of duel is very different. It's very gentle, and usually it's all done. There are many different dueling rituals according to the customs of different places.
But no matter where, there is a dueling ritual that is universal, and the nature of the duel is also the most brutal. That is the slap in the face, where you use the strip of cloth on your sleeve to throw it into the opponent's face. Once the throw hits the target, the duel will end. The request will take effect immediately, and once the duel begins, it will be a fight to the death.
But Xiao Chen, who is at the ninth level of soul refining and has no martial arts skills, challenged a peak warrior to such a duel. Isn't this asking for death
