Xia Yan nodded indifferently, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "The selection of outstanding students has started for a while, let's go to Jingwu Square as soon as possible!"
Xia Yan could completely understand Xia Mofei's astonishment. In fact, if everyone in Yushui City knew that he was going to participate in the selection of outstanding children of the Xia family, there would not be many people who were not astonished.
"Xia Yan, you... I'm worried about the Great Elder and the others..." Xia Mofei looked at Xia Yan, hesitant to speak.
Xia Yan knew what he wanted to say, shook his head indifferently, and said to himself: "I will surprise him, and I will impress everyone in the Xia family! I will fulfill my mother's last wish one by one! Today's Xia Yan is no longer Xia Yan from the past."
When he said these few words, Xia Yan's eyes naturally looked at the ring on his finger, and an unspeakable aura burst out from his whole body. This aura made Xia Mofei feel thrilling. When he saw Xia Yan in the past, he always felt weak and quiet, but today, Xia Mofei felt his heart tremble.
In the Jingwu Square of the Xia family, the test of the internal strength of the forty-two disciples is in progress, and more than half of the forty-two family disciples have already completed the internal strength test.
"Next, Xialiu!" Xia Guqiu stood not far from the huge boulder, calling out names one by one. After the test, the children all stood quietly aside, with different expressions on their faces. Some people are happy, some people are worried!
The selection of outstanding children of the family every three years is extremely important in the hearts of all Xia family children. The top five is the goal of every young Xia family member! After a test, the status of many people will change dramatically!
"Wow..."
Among the crowd around the square, there was a sudden uproar and exclamation.
Xia Liu's face was full of arrogance, he pressed his hands on the boulder, his body squatted down slightly, his palms slowly exerted force, and the boulder kept rolling backwards! The scale in the groove is constantly increasing!
Fifty…
sixty…
seventy…
The sudden uproar around the square was because Xia Liu had pushed the round stone beyond the seventy mark. The number of seventy scales shows that Xia Liu has opened up seventy martial arts meridians in his body.
At this time, Xia Liu's face gradually turned red, and the veins on his arms throbbed violently. Still, the boulder continued to roll.
seventy-five…
eighty…
"Xia Liu is indeed the most outstanding among the young disciples of the Xia family! At such a young age, he has already opened up 80 martial arts meridians!" The representatives of the Wang family and the Xi family who were sitting at the guest table couldn't help but think inwardly, their eyes sparkling .
"This Xialiu has the momentum of Xia Dongsheng back then!"
Patriarch Xia Feilong also nodded slowly, expressing his approval beyond words.
"call!"
Finally, Xia Liu collected his skills and jumped to the side of the round stone. The huge boulder slowly returned to its original shape with the sound of rolling and rubbing. Xia Liu, open up the eighty-nine martial arts meridians in the body! This impressive achievement immediately received thunderous applause!
Xia Liu looked around, clasped his hands together, and bowed towards the high platform. Although he tried his best to control it, the joy on his face still showed.
Before him, the disciples of the Xia family with the best grades only had access to seventy-five martial arts meridians. And he pushed the boulder to the eighty-nine scale all at once! Obviously, the face of the Xia family became much better in front of representatives of the Wang family and the Xi family.
At this time, Xia Liu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his brows frowned immediately. He saw two figures gradually appearing in the square, becoming clearer and clearer. Taking a closer look, the two people who just appeared are Xia Yan and Xia Mofei!
After a while, most people in the square saw Xia Yan and Xia Mofei.
"This Xia Yan, what are you doing here?!" Great Elder Xia Lai stared at Xia Yan.
"Xia Yan?!" Third Elder Xia Changhe's expression changed, first he was slightly happy, and then he showed worry! Xia Yan said years ago that he would participate in the selection of outstanding children of the family this year.
"Hmph, ignorant child!" Xia Guqiu snorted coldly, cursing in his heart.
During those few breaths, everyone in the square looked at Xia Yan and Xia Mofei who had just appeared. Xia Yan was in rags, worse than the beggars on the street, which made many people snort contemptuously from their nostrils.
The representatives of the Wang family and the Xi family, as well as the celebrities in Yushui City, also looked at the two Xia family children who had just entered Jingwu Square in surprise.
Xia Yan didn't have a special expression because of everyone's gaze, he walked slowly to the center of the square, and bowed deeply to the high platform.
"Lord patriarch, elders, Xia Yan was busy with cultivation, so he was unable to arrive early, please forgive me, patriarch and elders." Xia Yan lowered his head slightly and said in a calm voice.
Xia Mofei was beside Xia Yan, bowed deeply to the high platform, and then whispered to Xia Yan: "Xia Yan, I'm going to watch the platform first!"
Under so many gazes, Xia Mofei was under a lot of pressure! He and Xia Yan entered the Jingwu Square together, which might misunderstand many clansmen, so Xia Mofei was in a hurry to leave Xia Yan's side.
Xia Yan nodded and said, "Okay!"
He knew what Xia Mofei was thinking, it was normal. Even Xia Zixin is unwilling to get too close to her, let alone Xia Mofei? It is already rare to be able to say a few words to myself when no one is around, without crowding myself out.
"Xia Yan, what are you doing here?!" Before the patriarch and elders could speak, Xia Guqiu reprimanded loudly, "It's testing now, you should stand aside!"
"I am also qualified to participate in this selection, I want to participate in this selection!" Xia Yan looked directly at Xia Guqiu, without any intention of retreating!
Xia Guqiu was slightly taken aback, he was a little guilty by Xia Yan's gaze.
"Nonsense, you haven't even opened up a single meridian! Participate in the selection? Haha..." Xia Guqiu was annoyed in his heart, and laughed disdainfully.
"Alas..." Third Elder Xia Changhe sighed inwardly.
"Since Xia Yan has come, let him participate in this selection in a while!" The patriarch Xia Feilong's eyes flashed, and he quickly glanced over the Wang family Xi's family and the famous people in Yushui City.
"Thank you patriarch!" Xia Yan said neither humble nor overbearing!
Around the square, there were whispered discussions again.
"This Xia Yan actually wants to participate in this selection?!"
"Haha, did he get kicked in the head by a donkey? He hasn't even opened up a single martial arts meridian, how can he participate in the selection? Isn't this ridiculous? The Great Elder has always been dissatisfied with him, I'm afraid that after a while..."
"Don't talk about it, Xia Yan is actually quite pitiful. In the Xia family, although he is a direct descendant, he has no status at all!" A collateral descendant in his twenties stopped the people around him.
"Hmph!" Xia Guqiu snorted coldly, squinting his eyes, "You stand behind the crowd first, and come over when I call you!"
Xia Yan turned around, walked to the back of more than a dozen family members who had not yet tested their internal strength, stood quietly, staring straight ahead, as if nothing could affect him or shake him.
Xia Zixin bit her bright red lips, looked at Xia Yan, opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. At this time, she was standing not far in front of Xia Yan. Liu Mei twitched slightly, Xia Yan's tattered clothes made her feel a little sour.
"Next, Xia Ming!" Xia Guqiu continued to shout beside the round stone.
