Time is like water, nine years have passed by in a blink of an eye.
In the early morning, as the sun was rising, many younger members of the Nie family gathered in the square, either sitting cross-legged and breathing in the vague spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or polishing their fighting skills with fists and kicks.
In a corner of the wide square, a group of ten-year-old children from the Nie family clenched their fists and looked hatefully at the stone path to the east.
"He is only at the third level of Qi refining. I don't believe he can always win! Yesterday, I just broke through again, and I must teach him a lesson today!" After nine years, ten-year-old Nie Hong, relying on his strength in that year, The bead he got at the lottery meeting has been successfully cultivated to the sixth level of Qi refining. While he was gritting his teeth, the tip of his left finger flashed with electric light.
"Brother Hong, he also knows that you have made another breakthrough, so he shouldn't dare to come today, right?" Nie Yuandao said.
"No, he will definitely come, I know him!" Nie Hong shook his head.
In the center of the square, Wu Tao, a guest of the Nie family, and the boys and girls of the Nie family who were fourteen or fifteen years old, glanced at this direction from time to time while practicing, with expressions of interest on their faces.
"Nie Yuan, were you saying just now that I didn't dare to come?"
At this moment, an energetic child's voice came from the narrow stone path to the east, and Nie Tian's figure, who was obviously much taller than children of the same age, slowly emerged.
"coming!"
"Knowing that Nie Hong has just entered the sixth level of Qi refining, he still dares to come. How courageous he is!"
"interesting!"
Many older boys and girls from the Nie family were excited when they heard that familiar voice.
The guys who were practicing slowly stood up, and those who were practicing boxing also stopped suddenly, and all their eyes were focused on Nie Tian.
In their eyes, Nie Tian was an alien.
Nine years have passed since the lottery meeting ended. To this day, Nie Tian has not shown any special cultivation attributes. The piece of animal bone he obtained has never resonated with his spiritual power.
The same is true, when Nie Hong, Nie Yuan and others determined their own spiritual attributes and turned to practice specific spiritual techniques. Relying on the spiritual weapons they got from the lottery meeting, one by one their practice progressed rapidly, Nie Tian... is still practicing the most basic Qi Refining Technique.
Nie Tian's progress in cultivation was so slow that everyone was secretly laughing at him, and it also left the head of the family, Nie Donghai, and Nie Qian at a loss.
However, what is surprising is that Nie Tian's body is getting stronger and stronger. This allowed him to not be at a disadvantage due to his low level of Qi refining when he was fighting against children of the same age.
On the contrary, in the past nine years, all the battles between his peers and Nie Tian ended in disastrous defeat.
Nie Tian still maintains an undefeated record.
The reason why they pay attention to Nie Tian's battle is to know when the advantage of strong body will disappear.
Nie Hong had just entered the sixth level of Qi Refining yesterday, and the spiritual power in his body contained the power of thunder and lightning. They all privately believed that Nie Tian's undefeated record would end with today's battle.
So they are all secretly looking forward to this battle.
"Nie Yuan, you were mocking me earlier, right? How about the two of us practice our skills first?" Nie Tian stepped forward, glanced sideways at Nie Yuan, and was the first to speak provocatively.
Nie Yuan, who had reached the fifth level of Qi training, was clearly a little timid under his gaze.
Nie Yuan subconsciously took half a step back, and said with an inward look: "Nie Tian, your opponent today is Brother Hong. If you can still stand after fighting Brother Hong, I will play with you."
"Shameless." Nie You, who was wearing pigtails, muttered softly.
"That's fine." Nie Tian said nonchalantly, "I really don't need to try my best to fight you."
"You!" Nie Yuan looked angry.
"You all get out of the way!" Nie Hong shouted, gesturing for the other children to stay away. As he spoke, his right fist was filled with cyan lightning.
The Nie children beside Nie Hong all moved back after hearing this, leaving the area to him and Nie Tian.
In the center of the square, Wu Tao and the older Nie family boys saw that the battle was about to break out. They all smiled and gathered around while talking.
In a tall stone palace, Nie Donghai stood on the window sill, holding on to the stone wall with both hands, overlooking the square from above.
For nine years, Nie Donghai used his power as the head of the Nie family to try his best to find out about the man who harmed Nie Jin.
Unfortunately, he hasn't gotten any information about that man so far.
The man seemed to appear out of thin air and then suddenly disappeared.
The only trace he left behind was Nie Tian who was about to fight Nie Hong in the square.
Nie Donghai's body is getting worse day by day. He who was once tall and mighty has become as thin as firewood. No matter how discerning you are, just by looking at him, you will know that his days are probably numbered.
On the high platform, watching Nie Tian fight with those children of the same age, watching Nie Tian win again and again, was one of the few pleasures he had.
But he also understood that Nie Tian, who was not strong enough and relied solely on his physical strength, would one day be defeated.
He also knew that once Nie Tian started to lose, it meant that Nie Tian's physical advantage would be gone forever.
From now on, the gap between Nie Tian and other children of the same age will become wider and wider as those children's realm improves rapidly.
"Will it be today..." Nie Donghai murmured to himself.
"Chichi!"
A strange sound came from Nie Hong's flashing fist in the square. With Nie Hong's loud shout, he suddenly rushed towards Nie Tian.
"Well, it's a little faster than before." Nie Tian opened his mouth and faced Nie Hong, who was coming with a strong attack. After smiling, he didn't even have the slightest intention to evade.
Nie Tian suddenly raised his hand and took a step forward arrogantly. His fist, which was obviously larger than Nie Hong's, also hit Nie Hong's right fist hard.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided, a muffled sound was heard, and Nie Hong's momentum stopped immediately.
Nie Tian took two steps back, bared his teeth and shook his fist. Wisps of electricity splashed out from his fist as his arm swayed.
Many onlookers took a closer look and found that there were very clear black marks on the back of Nie Tian's fist.
"The sixth level of Qi refining seems to be only one level different from the fifth level, but in fact it is fundamentally different. The sixth level allows spiritual power to leak out, and the power of thunder and lightning contained in the spiritual power can penetrate into the air. Inside the other person’s body.”
Nie Xian, a descendant of the Nie family who is fourteen years old this year and has reached the eighth level of Qi refining, looked deeply at Nie Tian, shook his head and continued: "Every time the boxers collide, Nie Hong can use his spiritual power to Thunder and lightning remain in Nie Tian's body. Thunder and lightning will paralyze his flesh and blood, making him feel sore and numb, forcing him to use part of his energy to resist the erosion of lightning left in his body."
"If this continues, he will lose his fighting ability before too long and will be bullied by Nie Hong."
"It's really unwise to use the third level of Qi refining against the sixth level and insist on a head-on confrontation."
Nie's guest Qing Wu Tao nodded slightly, glanced at Nie Xian with a bright future with admiration, and then said: "Nie Tian relies on his strong body. In these years of fighting, he has long been accustomed to fighting head-on. He did not eat before. It’s a huge loss. But he doesn’t know what the overflow of spiritual power from the sixth level of Qi Refining means. He will definitely suffer a loss today, and his undefeated record... should also be broken after this battle."
"To put it bluntly, it's because of his poor talent. If he is at the sixth level of Qi Refining like Nie Hong, and his spiritual power also has unique attributes, it will be easy for him to defeat Nie Hong." Nie Xian said. .
"Do you feel it?" Nie Hong, whose fist flashed with lightning again, looked coldly at Nie Tian, who was still waving his arms, "Have the traces of lightning I left on your hand spread to you? Your arm? How does it feel? Your hand must be very sore and numb, right?"
"A little bit." Nie Tian grinned, obviously in pain, "But it's okay, it doesn't have a big impact on me."
"You still want to be tough?" Nie Hong looked excited. After being suppressed for nine years and losing continuously, he seemed to finally see the dawn of hope in this battle. "It won't have much impact, right? Then try it a few more times!"
"Bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
Nie Hong's fists were like cannonballs, constantly hitting Nie Tian. Nie Tian actually did not evade, but responded to Nie Hong forcefully in the same way.
Ten breaths later, Nie Hong took the lead to stop, breathing heavily, and looked at Nie Tian with a fierce look.
Nie Tian's hands were as black as charcoal, with sparks of lightning constantly flying out from his arms.
Everyone could see that Nie Tian was obviously a little stiff even in his movements of waving his arms.
But Nie Tian's eyes showed an unprecedented fighting spirit, like a young wild beast that was finally awakened, roaring at Nie Hong: "Keep going, why stop? Come on, don't stop!"
It seemed that he was the one with the upper hand.
