Ling Zhan broke through the sixth meridian, and the family was very happy.
Meng Xiyun specially ordered his servant to make a rich meal to celebrate, hoping that Ling Zhan would become a profound practitioner as soon as possible.
After the meal, Ling Zhan called Ling Xiao to the study.
"Son, thank you!" Ling Zhan patted Ling Xiao's shoulder gratefully.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "Father, you are my dad. Without you, there would be no me. Is it necessary to say thank you? The family is talking about two things, it's not a good idea."
Ling Zhan looked at his son with satisfaction, and sighed lightly: "I thought this life would be spent chaotically. I never thought that I would be able to practice profound strength again. For a martial artist, It is equivalent to giving me a second life. As long as I can cultivate again to my original peak strength, I won’t ask him.” He paused here, staring at Ling Xiao and said, “Xiao’er, you are different from Dad, since If an immortal chooses you as an apprentice, it proves that the vision of the immortal is not wrong. Your future will be farther than that of your father, the Ling family, or anyone in Meteorite City. So you must cultivate well and don't let down. What immortals expect of you!".
Ling Xiao listened to his father's serious explanation, and did not refute, he nodded very obediently and said: "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely work hard to live up to his father and the immortal's expectations of me."
"That's good, yes, it will be the family test in three days. You have to behave well and let those guys who look down on us father and son shut up," Ling Zhan said.
"Yes, father!" Ling Xiao nodded.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Ling's annual test is held today.
Early in the morning, Ruoda’s martial arts training ground was full of more than one hundred teenagers between the ages of twelve and twenty.
These teenagers are the 18th generation descendants of the Ling family, and there are direct lines and side lines. As long as they can pass the test, they will all be the future pillars of the Ling family. Both direct and side lines will receive the same treatment. , Or continue to stay in the inner courtyard, or will be dispatched out, today will know.
At this moment, everyone on the martial arts field is divided into three parts, one part is the support group headed by the patriarch's grandson Lingli, the other part is the support group headed by the second elder's grandson Lingkuang, and the third part is a sideline. Children, headed by the strongest Linghu. Among these three groups, Ling Kuang’s support group has the largest number of people, accounting for almost half, followed by the strong support group, and the last one has the least number of Linghu.
In this continent that speaks with strength, all aristocratic families admire force, and the Ling family is no exception.
Now Ling Kuang is the most outstanding warrior under the age of 20 among the eighteenth generations. He became a low-level profound practitioner at the age of nineteen, so he is supported by others; fierce and not weak, now 18 years old, a high-level profound practitioner He is expected to break through the low-level profound practitioners before the age of nineteen and rank third in last year’s test. He is also the grandson of the patriarch and has many supporters; as for Linghu, 19 years old, the strength of the intermediate-level profound practitioners, although He can only be ranked fifth in the eighteenth generation, but he is the best in the collateral family, and all the collateral children follow him as an example.
The three support groups gathered together and kept talking and communicating. Everyone was either pleasantly surprised or nervous. What was pleasantly surprised was the arrival of the annual test. What was nervous was that I was bothered by failing to pass the test.
"You said, will Ling Kuang again win the first place in the test today? He has won the first place for two consecutive years. It's really admirable!".
"It goes without saying. Brother Ling Kuang is already a low-level profound scholar. He is the strongest of our generation. Who else is he who is not the first?".
"That's right, although the fierce strength is also very strong, it is a pity that he has not broken through the Xuanshi rank, and he is destined to still be the defeat of Ling Kuang."
"Although fierceness may not be able to defeat Ling Kuang, but now one person can definitely threaten Ling Kuang?".
"Fart, whoever has this strength, the Xuanshi rank can already exudate his profound strength, and can practice the exercises belonging to his own attributes. The power is infinite, and it is very different from the Xuanshi rank, unless that person is also the Xuanshi rank."
"Didn't you hear that someone in the family has recently broken through the Profound Shi Rank?".
"Could it be... Ling Bin who ranked second last year?"
"Yes, that's her."
There was a lot of discussion, and the atmosphere was extremely lively and noisy.
Ling Xiaoshanshan arrived late, so she randomly found a place where no one cared and sat down. In his impression, in the eighteenth generation, there is no particularly deep friendship, and he is too lazy to hook up, just hope that the test can be carried out quickly.
After a while, the elders and deacons finally walked out of the cabinet.
The patriarch Ling Cang walked to the high platform in the middle of the martial arts field, with his hands behind him, and said in a solemn voice: "Today, it is our Ling family's annual test. Every year today is a time to witness your strength improvement. Survival of the fittest is the law of natural survival, so you may stay or go in your hands. I won’t talk about the rules. As before, what I’m going to announce now is the top five Ling family children in this year’s test. Participate in the competition of the major families in Meteorite City at the end of the year."
When Ling Cang said this, the audience was in an uproar!
There are more than a dozen large and small families in Meteorite City. Every three years, the young generation will be tested to prove the future potential of the major families. At the same time, the families will give generous rewards to achieve good results. Children, not only can win glory for the family, but also can get rewards for the competition. These rewards are all mysterious skills, elixir or high-grade weapons that are helpful for cultivation...
The requirement of the competition is for the younger generation under 25 years old, and has nothing to do with the over-age.
Ling Cang suppressed his voice and continued: "At the same time, the top five disciples will receive personal guidance from the elders and receive the same treatment as the deacon of the inner court, and the elder Taishang will select a successor disciple from the five. ".
"Wow..." everyone exclaimed.
It was not for the guidance of the elders, nor was it for the equal treatment of the deacon of the inner court. What surprised them most was the sentence "The Supreme Elder will select a successor from the five."
The Supreme Elder has the supreme position in the Ling family, and his strength is the most unfathomable one in the Ling family. His prestige is higher than the patriarch in the Ling family, and he is even more prestigious in Meteorite City. Ten years ago, there was a foreign middle-level spiritualist who dared to provoke the Yan Wei of the Ling family. At that time, the elders of the Ling family were not the opponents of that spiritualist, and they were finally beaten into meat sauce by the elder Taishang. No one dared to provoke the Yan Majesty of the Ling Family anymore, it was because the two big families of Li and Luo, who were as famous as the Ling Family, were terrified of the Ling Family, the Supreme Elder. As long as the elder of the Ling family stays in one day, the status of the Ling family will not be threatened in any way.
One can imagine how glorious it is to be the successor of the Supreme Elder, and what a surprise. Not only has the position of Ling's family been detached from now on, but the elder Taishang teaches cultivation methods, and it will be impossible to stay strong at that time! Whether it is the 17th generation of the Ling family or the current younger generation, they all respect the elder Taishang extremely. Everyone is eager to become the successor of the elder Taishang, but the former has no such opportunity, and the latter will be the only one. Crazy for places!
Ling Cang then casually said a few words of encouragement before announcing the start of the test.
The first level is the force value test.
This level test is very simple. It mainly uses the test spar to test the force value of everyone. As long as the tester uses all his strength to hit the spar, the spar will feed back the color value, and the force value will be determined by the color value.
This pass is carried out by the Ninth Elder Ling Fu!
Ling Fumo was about sixty, a thin, very ordinary old man, but you shouldn't think of him as an old man who can do nothing, otherwise you won't be able to eat.
Ling Fu stood on the high platform, holding the list in his hand and muttered: "Eighteenth generation descendants, Ling Yan will come to the stage."
As soon as the voice fell, a fifteen-year-old, tiger-headed teenager, separated from the crowd, gave a soft drink, and leaped onto the high platform in a very beautiful posture.
Ling Yan gave a salute to Ling Fu and then shouted loudly. The force of his whole body gathered in his right fist and slammed heavily on the test spar.
"boom".
Ling Yan closed his fist and tested the spar. From white to light gray, then the gray became lighter and thicker. After reaching a certain level, it stopped.
Elder Ling Fu nodded and said loudly: "Well, yes, the eighth-level martial artist, who has been promoted to one level from last year, can continue to stay in the inner courtyard to practice, and strive to break through the mysterious rank as soon as possible!"
Ling Yan received Ling Fu's compliment, with joy on his face, bowed to the elder Ling Fu, and then left the high platform.
Ling Fu's voice sounded again, "Eighteenth generation descendants, Ling Yan, please come to the stage".
Ling Yan was younger than Ling Yan, only thirteen years old. He looked weak and was a collateral child. I saw him step onto the stage with a slightly timid appearance, and directly hit the test spar with a punch.
The test spar also changed from white to light gray, and then began to thicken again, only to the extent that it was not as deep as the Lingyan.
Ling Fu announced: "Ling Yan, a fourth-level martial artist, can continue to stay in the inner courtyard to practice, the next Ling Shui".
"Ling Shui, a sixth-level martial artist, can continue to stay in the inner courtyard to practice."
"Ling Wen, a third-level martial artist, has not been promoted for two consecutive years, and was sent out of the inner courtyard, waiting for arrangements."
…
Most of the children of the Ling family who came to the stage to test were excited because they passed the test, while the few who failed were downcast and very sad with their faces shrugged.
"Eighteenth generation descendants, Ling Tian, please come to power."
Elder Ling Fu's voice fell, and there was a commotion in the audience.
Immediately afterwards, a sixteen-year-old boy in white clothes, carrying a rapier on his back, whispered and whirled around in the sky, landing on the stage with a very elegant movement, only to see this boy Jianmeixing. He looks like a talented person, but those pairs are always high and arrogant eyes make people quite uncomfortable.
Ling Tian, the grandson of the fourth elder Ling Wei, has an extraordinary appearance. He broke through a martial artist and became a low-level profound practitioner at the age of fifteen years old last year.
"Last year Ling Tian was already a low-level profound practitioner, I don't know if he has broken through to become an intermediate-level profound practitioner this year!"
"It is not easy to break through a small position within a year, I think it is unlikely."
"There is nothing impossible. Brother Ling Kuang has already become a mid-level profound practitioner in 16 years. Ling Tian's posture is no worse than that of Brother Ling Kuang. Judging from his seductive appearance, he must have broken through to become a mid-level profound practitioner. Mysterious man".
…
Ling Tian ignored the discussion under the stage, curled the corner of his mouth lightly, and lightly blasted the test spar with one hand.
"boom".
The test spar changed from white to gray, and finally changed from gray to light yellow. Finally, it freezes to a certain extent and quietly stops.
Ling Fu showed admiration on his face and nodded towards Ling Tian, "It's very good. It's very good to break through a small rank in a year, so Ling Tian can continue to cultivate in the inner courtyard."
"Wow" When Ling Fu announced Ling Tian's results, most of the people in the audience screamed, obviously very surprised at Ling Tian's strength.
Ling Tian seemed very satisfied with the reaction of the audience, but when he swept to a certain corner, his face became stiff, and a trace of dissatisfaction was skipped before he stepped off the stage.
