Thank you very much to classmate Tangtang8719 for the reward.

The bells are ringing, weeping and praying a hundred times, grateful

Ling Xiao knew in his heart that if Xu Ziyan loved him and wanted to marry him, Xu Ziyan would not be so calm at this time, and his eyes would not be so clear. Ling Xiao tried hard to control himself, he wanted to maintain the man's dignity

Dignity. But the sadness in his eyes spread uncontrollably. He grinned, trying to show a smile, but that smile turned out to be so miserable.

Xu Ziyan couldn't bear to look away slightly and said softly: "Senior Brother Ling, let's not talk about this matter anymore, okay? We will still be good friends from now on. It's late at night, and I'm going back."

Xu Ziyan stood up, and this time Ling Xiao did not reach out to stop him. Xu Ziyan walked straight out of the tavern, without daring to look back, and disappeared into the rainy night. Even if Xu Ziyan didn't love Ling Xiao, she couldn't bear to look at a man's dream-shattering eyes.

After Xu Ziyan walked for a long time, Ling Xiao slowly stood up and walked out of the tavern. He just let the rain fall on his body and looked towards the direction Xu Ziyan left. His eyes lost their luster for a while.

He looked at the night sky again.

night sky,

Shady Sihe,

Raindrops are like tears...

Ling Xiao's face couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, and he murmured in a low voice: "Will I forget her?"

It was getting late, and Xu Ziyan did not return to the residence in the inner hall, but returned to his parents' house. When Xu Haoguang saw Xu Ziyan coming back in the rain, he complained that Xu Ziyan didn't know how to hold an umbrella, while getting hot water for Xu Ziyan.

Let Xu Ziyan take a hot bath. The couple went to clean Xu Ziyan's room.

I took a nice hot bath, said a few words to my parents, and then under their care, I returned to the room prepared by my parents and fell asleep deeply.

Xu Ziyan slept soundly here, but Xu Haoguang and his wife were busy in the kitchen. Xu Ziyan has not lived at home since she fled. The old couple always felt that their daughter had suffered greatly outside, and they looked at it.

They lost a lot of weight. Now that they were caught in the rain, Xu Haoguang and his wife were heartbroken, so they dug out some of the expensive supplements that the patriarch Xu Haoran had given to them. Xu Haoguang killed another chicken overnight and took those expensive supplements.

I put the supplements in one place and started eating in the pot.

After simmering for half the night, the whole kitchen was filled with aroma. When Xu Ziyan woke up, he sniffed and drooled. Yi Gulu rolled over from the bed, put on his clothes, and ran away

When I arrived in the kitchen, I saw my parents sitting by the fire. They heard Xu Ziyan's footsteps. The two old men turned back and called with a kind smile:

"Yan'er, come here quickly and have a bowl of soup."

Mrs. Xu stood up as she spoke, picked up a bowl, opened the lid, filled the bowl with a spoon, and handed it to Xu Ziyan. Xu Ziyan looked at her parents' red eyes, and was touched in her heart.

It became moist. He quickly took the soup bowl, concealed the mist in his eyes, and drank the thick soup.

Father Xu Haoguang on the side saw Xu Ziyan finish drinking, so he took the bowl, filled another bowl for Xu Ziyan, handed it over, and said softly:

"Yan'er, you have been in poor health ever since you were frightened by the big yellow dog and fell into the water. Come, have another bowl."

Since all the soup served by her mother was drunk, how could she not drink the soup served by her father? So Xu Ziyan drank the second bowl of soup. Then her mother went to serve the soup again, and Xu Ziyan drank four bowls. It was really...

She couldn't drink anymore, and after several attempts to shirk, Xu Haoguang and his wife let her go. When Xu Ziyan left home, they also told Xu Ziyan to remember to come back for soup at noon.

In early summer, the climate is the most pleasant. Thousands of plants and trees are already green, and some branches have already bloomed with beautiful flowers.

Inner hall.

On the flat field, the disciples of the Xu family are doing morning exercises. The family has notified that there are three days left before the Zhongdu City Competition. Although the family did not say that this Zhongdu City Competition is different from the previous ones, nor did they announce the city owner.

The conspiracy of the family, the Xiao family and the Wu family, but the atmosphere was obviously different from before. The senior leaders of the family showed great importance. Xu Haoliang personally went to the outer hall to train the outer hall disciples. And Xu Haoran, as the head of the clan, personally stood up

On the playground of the inner hall, he supervised all the inner hall disciples and answered various questions of the inner hall disciples.

Xu Ziyan was also familiar with the spells she knew. After the battle in Langya Town, she understood the importance of a monk's own combat power. After all, those talismans were used up. In the end, it was her own combat power that she relied on.

Combat power not only refers to your own cultivation level, but also combat skills. For example, the speed of releasing spells, the range of release, and the intensity of release. It does not mean that the wider the range you release, the greater the power of release, the

It proves that your combat effectiveness is stronger. The combat effectiveness of a monk is reflected in his control of his own spells. The range does not need to be wide, as long as you can envelope your enemy. The power does not need to be great, as long as it is stronger than your enemy. Otherwise,

If you devote all your strength to an ant, then, before long, you will run out of mana and become the victim. Therefore, control is very important for a monk.

In the past three days, all the disciples have come to the square and are practicing their spells or sword skills. No one is practicing their cultivation. Because there are only three days left, it is impossible to increase their cultivation.

, so proficiency in skills becomes crucial.

Xu Ziyan stood in the corner of the square, her hands tumbling in front of her chest. Between her hands, a miniature water dragon kept circling and tumbling. There was a cloud of mist looming between her hands. The miniature water dragon

The water dragon looms among the clouds and mist, just like a divine dragon.

Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, because she knew that the water dragon had not really taken shape. It was still the same as it was on the spider cave in the endless forest, with a dragon body, dragon horns, and dragon claws, but no dragon scales. And

Even the dragon body, dragon horns, and dragon claws are just like a dragon cub, without much power.

Xu Ziyan knows that if he releases the water dragon in his hand, it will instantly absorb the water aura between heaven and earth and form a huge water dragon. But there are still flaws. Such a magic water dragon is what Xu Ziyan uses in his inheritance.

The water dragon chant in the Water Ice Art is condensed, and it already has the power of a dragon.

Xu Ziyan made an estimate. Even though this magic water dragon is amazingly powerful, it can only scare people. I am afraid that even the monks on the twelfth level of the foundation period will be frightened when facing it, and they may not dare to fight it.

However, Xu Ziyan knew that the magic water dragon he had condensed was only terrifying on the surface, and its real energy could probably defeat the monks on the sixth floor of the foundation building period. But, could it defeat the monks on the sixth floor of the foundation building period?

The number of monks is only Xu Ziyan's estimate.

He raised his head and glanced at Xu Haoran who was standing in front of the square. He wanted to try blasting the water dragon in his hand at him, but when he thought that Xu Haoran only had the cultivation level of the third level of the foundation period, he shook his head and thought to himself, let it go.

.

Looking down at the magical water dragon between his hands, he felt a flash of inspiration in his heart, and with his fingers flying, the water dragon in his hands was divided into ten, turning into ten miniature water dragons, coiled around Xu Ziyan's ten fingers.

Xu Ziyan's ten fingers are like ten dragon jade pillars, with ten miniature water dragons hovering above them.

These ten miniature water dragons are still the same size as the one just now, but after evenly dividing Xu Ziyan's mana, only one of the five claws is left, and the dragon horns on the head have also shrunk into two just bulges, without any

It looks like a dragon horn.

Xu Ziyan was standing alone in a corner of the square at this time. No one seemed to notice her. Everyone was familiar with their own spells. The trial stone walls were rumbled by the disciples of the Xu family.

Xu Haoran stood on the sidelines. Behind him, the disciples in the inner hall had already moved a chair for him, but Xu Haoran did not sit down and kept standing there. He wanted to use this gesture to inspire the Xu family disciples. Sure enough,

, those disciples saw their clan leader standing there all the time, and everyone used their abilities to practice hard there.

In fact, after Xu Haoran started to give guidance to the disciples, his mind was no longer here. In the past few days, a lot of information has been passed to Xu Haoran's hands. After all, their Xu family is one of the four major families in the North.

It has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is a veritable local snake in Zhongdu City. How could there be no spies in the City Lord's Mansion, the Xiao family and the Wu family?

Judging from the situation reflected in the intelligence, the City Lord's Mansion, the Xiao family and the Wu family are indeed preparing to deal with the Xu family. But where do the three families rely on? How will they deal with the Xu family? There is no secret investigation. It is just one thing that can be determined.

The thing is, those three families will take action on the day of the competition in Zhongdu City.

Interestingly, judging from the information sent back, it seems that the three families of the City Lord's Palace, the Xiao family and the Wu family are not monolithic. Each family seems to have its own little calculation. This makes Xu Haoran look down on them in his heart. The small family

It's just a small family, with rat belly and chicken intestines, it can't be put on the table at all.

Xu Ziyan stood in a corner, moving his fingers slightly, and the ten miniature water dragons circled around the ten fingers, and occasionally opened his mouth and sprayed out a thin cloud of mist. Xu Ziyan silently checked the power of these ten magic water dragons and felt

If you release a water dragon alone, it can kill the monks on the first level of the foundation building stage. Its power is about the same as that of the monks on the second level of the foundation building stage. But if you release ten magic water dragons at the same time, you should be able to kill the monks on the first level.

The monks on the fourth level of the foundation period may not be able to defeat the monks on the fifth level of the foundation period.

Obviously, the power of condensing a magic water dragon is much more powerful than dividing it into ten magic water dragons. But dividing it into ten also has ten advantages. When dealing with monks who have the same cultivation level as yourself, or who have a lower cultivation level than yourself, these are more important.

A small magic water dragon will save you a lot of mana. You know, it takes two layers of Xu Ziyan's mana to condense a five-claw magic water dragon. With Xu Ziyan's current cultivation level, he can only condense five five-claw magic water dragons.

Water Dragon, then completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Ten miniature magic water dragons kept circling between his fingers. Xu Ziyan once again raised his head and looked at Xu Haoran on the sidelines, thinking secretly:

“I really want to try it”

Two hundred chapters later, let me sigh with emotion...
Chapter completed!
