C28 The First Test
C28 The First Test
"Be careful!" Ling Xiao's body flashed. He accelerated to Bai Yuxi's side and helped her up.
"Did you hurt your leg? You can't be too impatient when practicing martial arts." Ling Xiao was concerned.
However, Bai Yuxi kept her head down and did not answer him.
"Come here. Sit down and let me see if your foot is injured." Ling Xiao quickly said.
Ling Xiao helped Bai Yuxi to the stone bench. Then he took off her cloth shoes and revealed her feet.
Ling Xiao gently touched her red and swollen heels and said in pain, "Your feet are swollen. It doesn't matter. " I'll get you some cold water to apply it. After applying it, I'll rub it again. "
Ling Xiao got up and went to get some water after he finished speaking.
Bai Yuxi shyly looked at Ling Xiao's back. She smiled sweetly, as if the pain from twisting her feet had completely disappeared.
"Young Master is really good to me!" Bai Yuxi thought silently in her heart.
After Ling Xiao got the water ready, he put Bai Yuxi's feet into the water and soaked them. Then he transferred some medicinal profound strengths to her heels, helping her move the medicinal meridian vessels to achieve the effect of reducing swelling.
Not long after, the lump on Bai Yuxi's foot disappeared.
Ling Xiao carefully helped Bai Yuxi put on her shoes and instructed her, "Alright, you can rest for a day today. You meditate well. You should be fine tomorrow.
Bai Yuxi nodded and shyly replied softly, "Thank you, Young Master.
"You're welcome! You're my sister! It's only natural for big brother to take care of his sister!" Ling Xiao smiled and said. He almost said what he was thinking.
Bai Yuxi looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Young Master, am I not very smart?
"Why do you ask?" Ling Xiao was surprised.
"I can't even learn the sword move you taught me," Bai Yuxi said in embarrassment.
Ling Xiao comforted her. "Don't think about it. You've only been learning for a few days. Kung Fu is not something that can be mastered in a single day. You must have confidence in yourself. "Perhaps in the near future, your martial arts will surpass mine!"
"I don't want to surpass you. I just don't want to drag you down." Bai Yuxi waved her hand and said.
Ling Xiao smiled. He wanted to say something, but before he could, a loud shout came from inside the house.
"Haha! I succeeded again!" The voice came from the direction of study. Needless to say, it must be Ling Zhan's voice.
Ever since Ling Xiao gave that 500 year old Dark Ginseng to Ling Zhan, these few days, Ling Zhan had been cultivating the Trisection Origin Returning Qi while absorbing the medicinal properties of the Dark Ginseng. This was the fifth time he had broken through to the meridian vessel realm recently.
Ling Zhan came out of the study room with great essence, energy, and spirit. His entire person looked very energetic. Compared to his previous dispirited look, he was completely different.
Meng Xiyun also came in front of her husband with a face full of joy. She asked agitatedly, "Brother Zhan, have you become a level five medicinal Martial Disciple?
Ling Zhan looked at his beautiful wife and nodded heavily. "Yes! I already broke through the sixth medicinal meridian vessel! I believe that in at most another month, I'll be able to become a medicinal profound warrior again.
"This is too good!" Meng Xiyun said happily. She never dreamed that her son and husband could cultivate profound strength again. They could finally get rid of the title of "useless father and son. She felt incomparably proud of them in her heart. All the grievances she had suffered over the years disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Xiyun, I have wronged you over the years. I swear I will never let you suffer again in the future," Ling Zhan said solemnly while holding his wife's hand.
Ling Zhan had already broken through the sixth meridian vessel. Their family was very happy.
Meng Xiyun even specially instructed the servants to let them prepare a sumptuous feast to celebrate this matter. She hoped that Ling Zhan could become a profound warrior as soon as possible.
After the meal, Ling Zhan called Ling Xiao to study.
"Xiao, thank you!" Ling Zhan patted Ling Xiao's shoulder and said gratefully.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, You are my father. Without you, there will be no me. You don't have to thank me. We are family. There is no need to say such unfamiliar words.
Ling Zhan looked at his son with relief. He sighed softly and said, "I thought I would live my life in dejection. I never thought that I could cultivate medicinal profound strengths again. This was for a person who practiced martial arts. It's like giving me a second life. "Right now, I only hope that I can cultivate to my previous level." He paused for a moment. He looked at Ling Xiao and said solemnly," Xiao, you are different from father. Since the immortal can choose you as his disciple, "he said solemnly. This proves that you have great potential! Your future will be greater than mine, more than anyone in the Ling family. He had more potential than anyone in Meteor Rock City. Therefore, you must cultivate well. "Don't let down the expectations of the immortal!
Ling Xiao did not refute his father when he heard his father speak in all seriousness. He nodded obediently and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will work hard to cultivate. I won't let the medicinal immortal be disappointed in me!
"It's good that you know. Three days later, we are going to carry out the family test. " You must perform well. You must let those who looked down on us in the past know of our strength! " Ling Zhan instructed.
"I know, Dad!" Ling Xiao nodded.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The annual test of the Ling family would be held today.
Early in the morning, the spacious training field was filled with over a hundred youths from twelve to twenty years old.
These youths were the eighteenth generation successor of the Ling family. Among them were direct descendants and side descendants. However, Regardless of whether they were direct descendants or collateral descendants, as long as they were people among them who could pass the test, All of them would become the future pillars of the Ling family, and all of them would receive the same treatment. They would either be sent out. Or you can stay in the inner court. The result would be revealed today.
At this time, everyone on the training ground was split into three parts. Among them, A portion of them were the support group led by the patriarch, grandson, Ling Li. The other portion was the support group led by Second Elder, grandson, and Ling Kuang. The third portion was the disciples from the collateral branches. They were led by Ling Hu, who was the strongest among them. Among these three groups, Among the three groups, the group led by Ling Kuang had the most number of people. Almost half of them were in his group. Then, The team with the most number of people was Ling Li's team. Lastly, the team with the least number of people was Ling Hu's team.
In this continent where strength was the most important, all the aristocratic families respected martial arts, and the Ling family was no exception.
Currently, Ling Kuang was the most outstanding martial artist under the age of 20 among the 18th generation successor. When he was 19 years old, He had successfully cultivated the Profound Master of Low Rank, so there were many people who supported him. The medicinal Ling Li's strength was also very strong. He was currently eighteen years old, and he possessed the strength of a high-grade medicinal profound warrior. He had the hope of breaking through to the Profound Master of Low Rank before 19 years old. He was the third place in the test last year. Moreover, he was the patriarch, grandson, so there were many people who supported him. As for Ling Hu... He was nineteen years old this year, and he possessed the strength of medicinal grandsons. Although he was only ranked fifth among these eighteen generations of successors, However, he was the most outstanding among the collateral branches. Thus, All the collateral branch disciples used him as an example.
The three support group disciples gathered together and kept communicating with each other. Everyone was either surprised or nervous. What surprised everyone was the arrival of the annual test. What made people nervous was that they were worried that they would not pass the exam smoothly.
"Do you think Ling Kuang will be the first place again this year? He has already gotten first place for two years in a row. It is really admirable!
"Of course! Ling Kuang was already a Profound Master of Low Rank. He is the strongest in our generation. One. "Other than him, no one else has the right to be number one
"You're right. Although the Ling Li's strength is also very strong, it's a pity that he hasn't broken through to the Profound Master Rank realm yet. " So, he's destined to be defeated by Ling Kuang.
"Although the Ling Li might not be able to defeat Ling Kuang, there is someone who can definitely fight Ling Kuang now.
"Are you lying?! I don't believe that there is someone who has this strength. " If he has already reached the Profound Master Rank realm, then he can use the profound strength to release it. Moreover, he can also cultivate a cultivation technique that belongs to his own attribute. The power of this technique was extremely great. Unless that person was also a Profound Master Rank, he would have the chance to fight Ling Kuang.
"Haven't you heard that someone in the family has broken through to the Profound Master Rank realm recently?
"Are you talking about the Ling Binn ranked second last year?
"Yes! It's him!
Everyone discussed enthusiastically. The atmosphere at the scene was unusually lively.
Ling Xiao arrived late. He randomly found an empty place to sit. In his impression, no one was close to him in this group of people. He was too lazy to get to know them. He only hoped that the test could start soon.
Not long after, a group of elders and medicinal Deacons finally walked out from the inner pavilion.
Patriarch Ling Cang walked to the high platform in the middle of the training field. He put his hands behind his back. He said very majestically, "Today, It's time for the annual test of our Ling family. Every year today is the day to witness the rise of your strength. This is the rule of our family's survival. Those who have the ability stay, those who do not have the ability leave. This year's rule is the same as before. I will no longer repeat the rules. What I want to announce now is, in this year's annual examination, The top five disciples would have the chance to participate in the competition between the major families in Meteor Rock City at the end of the year.
Ling Cang's words caused an uproar in the audience.
Ignoring the size of the families, there were more than a dozen families in Meteor Rock City. These families would hold a competition between the younger generation every three years. They would use the result of this competition to prove the future potential of each family. At the same time, The big families would reward those who got good grades. For the disciples who participated in the competition, this competition would not only help the family gain glory, but also the disciples who had obtained good results. More of a prize for the game. These rewards would help them raise the Profound Skill, medicinal spirit medicines, or high-grade weapons...
Participants had to be under 25 years old. Those who surpassed their age were unable to participate.
Ling Cang continued calmly, "At the same time, the top five disciples will receive personal guidance from the elders. They will receive the same treatment as the inner court Deacons. Moreover, Grand Elder will choose a disciple to take over from these five people.
"Wow!" Everyone was shocked.
They were not surprised because they could obtain the guidance of the elders, nor were they surprised because they wanted to obtain the same treatment as the medicinal Deacons in the Inner Academy. What surprised them the most was that Grand Elder would choose a disciple to take over from these five people!
Grand Elder had a supreme status in the Ling family. He possessed the strongest strength in the Ling family. His prestige was even higher than the patriarch of the Ling family. Furthermore, He was very famous in Meteor Rock City. Ten years ago, there was a Spirit Master of Middle Rank that came from outside of Meteor Rock City. It was a provocation to the Ling family. At that time, many elders of the Ling family were no match for that Spirit Master. In the end, that Spirit Master was defeated by Grand Elder in one move. From then on, No one dared to challenge the Ling family anymore. Furthermore, the Lee family and Luo family who had similar status as the Ling family... Both of them respected this Grand Elder of the Ling family. Therefore, as long as the Grand Elder of the Ling family was still here, The status of the Ling family would not be threatened.
