When Duan Ling came to the Li family in Aurora City, he realized how insignificant the Li family in Qingfeng Town was.
The Li family, including the children with the original surname and the children with the foreign surname, totals more than 200 people.
The resources under its control are only one-third of Qingfeng Town's area. Even a barren iron mine outside the town has to be divided with the other two companies.
But my own Li family is a big family with thousands of people!
In addition, he also controls many shops in the bustling areas of Aurora City, as well as large tracts of land, and even various mineral veins...
There is a world of difference between the two!
With his and Ke'er's cultivation reaching the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm at the age of sixteen, they are the best among the Li family in Qingfeng Town.
But when it comes to the Li family in Aurora City, they are not that outstanding.
Although there are not many of the Li family in our clan who have entered the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm at the age of sixteen, it is not without them. There are even many seventeen-year-old ninth-level Body Tempering Realm warriors.
"As expected of my clan, we are rich and powerful!"
Duan Lingtian sighed.
The children of this clan have no shortage of elixirs such as Body Tempering Pills and Thunder Fire Pills.
Not many people in the Li family can afford the Body Tempering Pill.
But in the Li family, as long as the parents are not lazy people, they can afford the Body Tempering Pill and Thunder Fire Pill for their children without interruption.
As a member of the clan, the Li family in Aurora City covers a vast area, half the size of Qingfeng Town.
The children of the Li family in Aurora City are divided into the outer courtyard brothers and the inner courtyard brothers.
Treatment varies.
Just like Duan Lingtian and Ke'er, when they first came to the Li family of their clan, they were brothers from the outer courtyard. Each of them could receive thirty taels of silver per month.
"You are better than me. When I was in Qingfeng Town, I only had a salary of more than ten taels a month."
Li Rou sighed while tidying up the yard assigned to Duan Lingtian and Ke'er by her Li family.
"Mom, these thirty taels of silver are not easy to get. Children of the branch clan who cannot become inner court disciples before the age of nineteen will be sent back to the branch clan."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
Then, he looked at the inside and outside of the yard and was quite satisfied.
Because the children of two clans lived together, the courtyard allocated was slightly larger than an ordinary small courtyard, with three rooms.
Generally, the small courtyard allocated to the children of the branch only has two rooms.
"Master, you will definitely become a disciple of the inner courtyard."
The girl who was helping Li Rou was full of confidence in Duan Lingtian.
"Ke'er, you should say us."
Duan Lingtian smiled, extremely confident.
"Tian'er, when you come to this clan, you have to work hard. On the way here, I saw many of my clan members staring at Ke'er. If you don't work hard, be careful of Ke'er being raped by others.
Robbed."
Li Rou teased Duan Lingtian.
Before Duan Lingtian could speak, the girl became anxious, "Madam, I can't do it."
Duan Lingtian glanced at his mother proudly, and the latter shook his head and sighed, "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you gave Ke'er."
The three of them worked together and quickly tidied up the yard and room.
"Mom, you take a rest for a while, I'll take Ke'er around."
After saying hello to Li Rou, Duan Lingtian took the girl and left the courtyard.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard of their clan.
On the martial arts field, many disciples from the outer courtyard are diligently practicing martial arts. Some use fists, some use palms, and some use swords...
The appearance of a young girl like a golden boy attracted many people's attention.
More eyes fell on the girl.
The girl's long hair is tied up like a waterfall, and her beautiful face is like a hibiscus emerging from the water, with a charming bright red color, smart and delicate.
Willow eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, beautiful nose, and red lips all match perfectly.
The slightly bulging breasts are like buds ready to bloom at any time.
Her slender waist, round buttocks, and slender legs make her look slim and lovable.
"When did we have such a beautiful girl in our outer courtyard?"
On the other side of the martial arts arena, among a group of teenagers who were gathering together to brag, the eyes of the spitting young man in green lit up, his eyes fell on the girl, and he could no longer move away.
"She must have just come from the branch."
A young man guessed.
"It's so beautiful, no worse than Li Shishi at all."
Another young man's eyes shone brightly, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Shishi, a descendant of the Li family who came to Aurora City half a year ago, is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the outer courtyard.
"Come on, let's go over and make friends with her."
The young man in green clothes stepped out.
"Li Xiao, she seems to have a master."
A young man who followed said.
Li Xiao said disdainfully: "That one is also a stranger. He is probably a member of the clan who came with her. You are not so cowardly that you are even afraid of the children of the clan, right?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!"
Suddenly, a group of people walked over behind Li Xiao.
Duan Lingtian and Ke'er walked side by side through the martial arts arena.
Suddenly, a group of teenagers came from a distance, making Duan Lingtian frown slightly, but he ignored them and walked forward.
At first, a young man in green strode forward and stopped Duan Lingtian and Ke'er.
"Is something wrong?"
Duan Lingtian glanced coldly at the young man in green, his voice cold.
The other party completely ignored Duan Lingtian.
Li Xiao looked at the girl, with a smile on his face, "You are a member of our Li family's branch, right? My name is Li Xiao, and I am a member of our own family."
After talking about it, Li Xiao looked proud.
Under the stunned gazes of the group of teenagers who followed Li Xiaohe, the girl ignored them. Instead, she looked at the teenager beside her and said, "Master, let's go."
"good."
Duan Lingtian smiled and nodded, leading the girl to get around these people.
"stop!"
Li Xiao lost his composure and looked at the girl, "I am a member of my clan after all, and you are so disrespectful to me?"
"Face is not given by others, it is earned by oneself...if nothing happens, get out!"
Duan Lingtian said coldly with a cold light in his eyes.
roll?
Li Xiao was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly, and turned to look at a young man, "Did I hear right, he told me to get out?"
The young man nodded, "You heard that right, he told you to get out."
"Boy, I want to challenge you!"
Li Xiao became furious and shouted loudly.
It immediately attracted the attention of many people in the martial arts arena, and more people gathered around, watching the scene in front of them with great interest.
"Sorry, not interested."
After replying lightly, Duan Lingtian took the girl's hand and prepared to leave.
Seeing Duan Lingtian's actions, Li Xiao's eyes burned and he said sarcastically: "You don't even dare to accept my challenge. It seems that you are just a coward, not a man!"
The group of people watching couldn't help laughing, and looked at Duan Lingtian with contempt on their faces.
Weak people are always looked down upon the most.
Duan Lingtian's eyebrows moved slightly, and he finally turned around, "Although I know you are using provoking methods...but since you want to challenge me so much, I will help you. Ke'er, I'll be back soon."
After speaking to the girl, Duan Lingtian walked towards Li Xiao and stood facing him.
"Boy, for a clan member like you, I can defeat you with at most three moves!"
Li Xiao seemed to be slightly older than Duan Lingtian. His slightly muscular body leaned back slightly, his arms were bent backwards, and his fists were tense, making a crackling sound of finger bones rubbing together, which was clear and harsh.
"This is……"
Duan Lingtian was a little surprised when he saw Li Xiao's movements, which were somewhat similar to Bengquan's starting hand.
Soon, Li Xiao spread his legs in a strange posture, and stood there like a tiger ready to hunt, roaring out at any time.
It gave Duan Lingtian a familiar feeling.
"This martial skill is far beyond the level of the yellow-level intermediate martial skill 'Tiger Fist'."
Duan Lingtian's face turned slightly serious.
"Looking at Li Xiao's starting position, it seems to be the Xuan-level intermediate martial art "Tiger Roaring Fist"!"
There was an exclamation from the onlookers.
"That's right, it's Tiger Roaring Fist."
More and more people recognized the martial arts skills that Li Xiao was about to perform.
"How is it possible? The outer court disciples can only choose Xuan-level low-level martial arts on the first floor of the 'Hidden Martial Pavilion'. How can Li Xiao know the Xuan-level mid-level martial arts!"
"Your information is too late. Who doesn't know that Li Xiao's brother 'Li Zhong' is the inner court disciple. It is a family rule that sharing martial arts between brothers is not a violation."
"That's it. It seems that it was passed on to him by Li Zhong."
…
There was a burst of discussion in his ears, which made Duan Lingtian suddenly realize.
It turns out to be a Xuan-level martial arts skill!
drink!
Li Xiao moved, like a body bent into a strong bow, and shot out. His feet moved quickly, like a fleeting shadow, and he was in front of Duan Lingtian in a blink of an eye.
His fists roared, creating a strong wind that swept straight through Duan Lingtian's chest!
"So fast!"
Duan Lingtian saw that Li Xiao had used body and martial arts skills, and Li Xiao's fists were amazing, so he didn't dare to overdo it.
The spirit snake body technique appeared and he took two steps back.
In an instant, Duan Lingtian pulled back his arms and his back curved into an arch shape.
With one kick, the mountain fell down!
Bang Fist!
Facing Li Xiao's menacing Tiger Roaring Fist, Duan Lingtian was not afraid at all, throwing out his right fist and heading towards him.
boom!
The two men's right fists clashed with each other fiercely. In an instant, a sneer appeared on Duan Lingtian's lips, and the power of the fists was released.
Click!
The crisp sound of bone cracking sounded, Li Xiao's expression changed dramatically, and he was forced back by Duan Lingtian.
The severe pain on his finger bones made Li Xiao break out in cold sweat. He glanced at Duan Lingtian in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "You...your Tiger Roaring Fist has actually reached the level of perfection!"
Tiger Roaring Fist!
There was a roar from the crowd.
Who is this person and how come he knows Tiger Roaring Fist?
Moreover, Li Xiao said that his Tiger Roaring Fist has reached the level of Dacheng. How is this possible...
It is easy to practice Xuan-level martial arts to a small degree, but it is extremely difficult to practice it to a great degree.
After the young man stopped his hand, he took the girl's hand and walked out of the crowd without looking at Li Xiao again.
"May I have your name?"
A chill flashed across Li Xiao's eyes, and he reluctantly asked.
"What, you still want to take revenge?"
The young man turned back and glanced at Li Xiao, and replied calmly: "Duan Lingtian, a descendant of the Li family of the Qingfeng Town branch!"
"A child from a branch clan or a child from a foreign surname?"
Many people were surprised.
"Duan Lingtian, I remember, when I master the Tiger Roaring Fist, I will come to you to wash away my shame!"
Li Xiao's tone was sonorous, and the coldness in his eyes became even more intense, as he chose people to devour.
