Huangsha City is located in the westernmost part of the Lingwu Continent. It is bordered by desert rocks to the west and dark forests to the east. It is a typical interface between oasis and desert.
Because Huangsha City is extremely remote, the forces here are complex, vicious mercenaries, and ruthless killers, and some murders are likely to occur in this city at any time.
Huangsha City can be divided into five main forces, with the city lord's palace being the most powerful, followed by the four major families, which in order of strength are the Qin family, the Ling family, the Ma family and the He family.
In this world where the strong are respected, if you are weak, even prostitutes will look down on you.
In this world, warriors are cultivators who absorb the Yang Qi of the Heaven. The levels from weak to strong are Body Tempering Realm, Qi Condensation Realm, Xuan Yuan Realm, Xuan Yang Realm, Xuan Yin Realm, Xuan Dan Realm, Xuan Ying Realm, etc., each one
The realms are divided into nine levels. If you reach the Xuanyuan realm, you can have a soul. The Xuanyang realm has a fighting spirit. The Xuanying realm is the most powerful and enjoys the highest reputation.
Today is the Ling family's outer sect examination.
At this time, dozens of people gathered in the courtyard. The person in charge of the outer sect assessment was the fourth elder Ling Yanfeng, who had the strength of the Xuanyang second level. There were also several clan members who came to watch and
The guardian of the clan.
Outside the courtyard, a young woman with fair features and beautiful features was pacing around anxiously, muttering to herself: "Where's Tianyu, why aren't you back yet? The test is about to begin. I'm so anxious."
Already."
"Madam." An old man appeared in front of the young woman at some point and smiled: "Haha, they are already on their way back, they will be there soon."
"This child is so old and yet he is so worrying." The young woman scolded softly.
Just as he was talking, Ling Hua and Ling Yu, whose faces were red and angry, ran over. When they saw the young woman, they glared fiercely, and then hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
"Huh?" The young woman looked confused, but the old man snickered secretly from the side.
"Mother."
"Aunt."
Ling Tianyu and Xiao Wu came side by side with smiles on their faces.
Yes, this stunning young woman is Ling Tianyu's mother, Ling Xuan.
"Old Mr. Chu Lan." Ling Tianyu looked extremely respectful in front of this old man. Although Ling Tianyu lost his ability in his previous life, Ling Tianyu's soul power is not weak. It can be felt that this old man is definitely stronger than the current patriarch of the Ling family.
Even stronger, at least above the Xuanyang realm.
"Grandpa." Xiao Wu jumped directly in front of the old man.
"Haha, Xiao Wu is so old and still so clingy." Chu Lan smiled gently, and it could be seen that he doted on Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu is not young." Xiao Wu raised her lips and said.
"Yes, Xiao Wu's talent is really good. He has the strength of the fifth level of Qi Condensation. It would be great if my Tianyu had such a talent as Xiao Wu." Ling Xuan smiled and looked at him with some sadness.
Ling Tianyu, of course, understands how much his son has suffered since he was a child.
"No, Brother Tianyu is very strong. Young Master Ling Hua and Ling Yu were taught a lesson by Brother Tianyu just now." Xiao Wu said with a happy smile.
"This..." Ling Xuan was shocked and suddenly realized. No wonder Ling Hua and the others looked at her so strangely just now, but she was also extremely surprised. Ling Hua and the others could reach the third level of Qi Condensation. How could it be Ling Tianyu?
He could resist him and asked in surprise: "Tianyu, is Xiaowu telling the truth?"
"Yes, but to be honest, I am not their opponent, I just used some tricks." Ling Tianyu nodded lightly. He was an orphan in his previous life, and he cherished this family affection to be able to receive maternal love in this life.
"Tianyu, although they are young, they have a lot of thoughts. Don't provoke them." Ling Xuan said worriedly.
"Hmph! But I will never allow anyone to bully me in vain!" Ling Tianyu snorted coldly.
Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment, always feeling that the son in front of her seemed very different from ordinary people. She lovingly stroked Ling Tianyu's childish yet somewhat mature handsome face and said with a smile: "Haha, the assessment has already begun. Let's
Let’s go in first.”
Afterwards, Ling Tianyu, mother and daughter, Chu Lan and Xiao Wu entered the compound together.
Entering the courtyard, everyone glanced at Ling Tianyu with contempt, especially the fourth elder Ling Yanfeng and his second son Ling Nan, whose faces became gloomy when they looked at Ling Tianyu. Needless to say, it was also Ling Hua.
They made a small report in front of Ling Yanfeng.
"Sixth sister, Mr. Chu Lan, please take a seat." Ling Yanfeng smiled, but his smile was very artificial.
Ling Xuan and Chu Lan nodded slightly and entered the seats. Xiao Wu followed behind Chu Lan, never taking his eyes off Ling Tianyu.
At this time, Ling Tianyu, Ling Hua, and other members of the same clan stood side by side, as well as some direct branches, a total of twelve people, all of whom were high-spirited and wanted to prove their strength in this outer sect examination.
Ling Yanfeng stood up slowly, with a majestic look, and said in a deep voice that seemed to be deliberately pointed: "Today is the outer sect examination for the children of my Ling family. Although our Ling family is not a rich family, we do not leave any waste.
Those who are above the sixth level of body tempering can continue to enter the inner sect for assessment. If they fail the assessment, they will be sent to the army. There is only one chance. You must make full use of the importance of this assessment."
"Above the sixth level of body tempering!"
Everyone was slightly frightened, but the difficulty of increasing the level one level would not be particularly great.
Ling Yanfeng seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally glared at Ling Tianyu fiercely. It was obvious that he had raised the foundation of the entrance examination to Ling Tianyu.
When Ling Xuan heard this, she looked at Ling Tianyu anxiously and worriedly. Xiao Wu also looked very nervous. Although she knew that Ling Tianyu's movements were unusually fast, she couldn't sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and she didn't use any medicine to temper it.
My strength is really too weak.
Chu Lan narrowed her eyes tightly and stared at Ling Tianyu who looked calm and composed from a distance.
"Hmph! Ling Tianyu, you useless dog! When you leave the Ling family, I will ask my second brother to teach you a lesson!" Ling Hua cursed secretly.
While they were talking, a man named Ling Yang had already stepped out of the queue and walked to the force measuring stone.
The power test stone is also a test of a warrior's strength.
"Start!" a middle-aged man next to him said sternly.
Ling Yang gathered strength in preparation, and a faint white light glowed in his fist. When the white light shined, it meant that the test had been passed. This white light was a symbol of the warrior.
"Bang!~"
Ling Yang punched the force-measuring stone hard, and a faint white light glowed on the force-measuring stone.
"The second level of Qi Condensation! Pass!" the middle-aged man said loudly: "Next!"
Ling Yang saluted respectfully and slowly retreated.
Then nine more people came forward one after another, seven passed, two failed and left sadly. It seemed that Ling Tianyu was not the only one who was a waste.
Then, Ling Tianyu, Ling Hua, and Ling Yu were left.
Ling Xuan and Xiao Wu became more and more nervous, with both fear and expectation.
"Ling Hua!"
A majestic voice sounded, and Ling Hua, whose face was still red from exhaustion, stepped forward.
Ling Yanfeng and Ling Hua's second brother, Ling Nan, secretly smiled. Ling Hua's strength was at the third level of Qi Condensation. There was no problem in passing the test, and if the results were excellent, he would be trained by the family.
At this time, Ling Hua was gathering momentum, and an extremely weak white light glowed in his fist.
"Bang!"
Ling Hua punched the power measuring stone, and the power measuring stone only glowed with a weak white light.
"Ling Hua! The eighth level of body tempering! Passed!"
Hearing this, Ling Yanfeng and Ling Nan almost fell down. They really couldn't understand why Ling Hua only had the strength of the eighth level of body tempering. People around him were also dumbfounded and confused.
"Trash!" Ling Yanfeng shouted directly.
"Father..." Ling Hua looked innocent and turned back to glare at Ling Tianyu. He had spent too much energy fighting with Ling Tianyu before.
"Get out!" Ling Yanfeng yelled angrily.
Ling Hua could only retreat weakly, and couldn't help but glare at Ling Tianyu fiercely. He made a fool of himself in front of his father, second brother, and so many other people, and he hated Ling Tianyu even more.
Ling Tianyu looked dull and turned a blind eye.
"Ling Yu!"
Ling Yu was next in line. After seeing Ling Hua's test just now, he felt guilty and walked to the force measuring stone.
"Bang!"
Similarly, Ling Yu's punch only produced a weak white light when it hit the force measuring stone.
"Ling Yu! The seventh level of body tempering!" the person in charge of the power measuring stone said loudly.
Ling Yanfeng's face was gloomy. Fortunately, he didn't raise the basic level assessment again, otherwise it would be really dangerous.
Ling Yu also knew that this would be the result, and retreated dejectedly. He also deeply hated Ling Tianyu. Although it was only an external examination, the results must be recorded, which is related to the family's future training focus.
"Next! Ling Tianyu!" the person in charge said loudly.
Hearing that it was Ling Tianyu, everyone's eyes fell on Ling Tianyu, and Zixuan and Xiaowu were so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests.
"Hmph! Trash! Could it be that you still want to go against the will of heaven!" Ling Hua secretly said angrily.
"Tch! It's that loser. It seems he has to leave the Ling family!"
"Yes, if this loser is sent to the army, he will not be able to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield in the future!"
"This piece of trash doesn't deserve to stay in the Ling family at all! It's a disgrace to the Ling family!"
······
The people around him were talking in low voices, rolling their eyes at Ling Tianyu with disdain.
Ling Tianyu had no expression on his face and slowly stepped forward. After seven years of physical training, his physical strength had reached the sixth level of body tempering. There was no problem in barely passing.
"If it doesn't work, just retreat." The person in charge next to him said contemptuously.
"A dog looks down upon others! How do you know I'm not good at it!" Ling Tianyu said coldly.
"You..." The person in charge was angry, but after all, Ling Tianyu still belonged to the Ling family, and he didn't dare to forget it. He thought to himself: "Damn it! If you are kicked out of the Ling family, I will take away your
Tongue!"
Ling Tianyu didn't bother to pay attention to that person, he packed up a punch and hit the force measuring stone heavily.
"Bang!" There was a sound!
Incredibly, a faint white light shone on the force measuring stone.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock and they were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. Ling Yanfeng even had several black lines on his forehead. Ling Hua and Ling Yu were horrified and resentful.
The person in charge stared at Ling Tianyu in surprise, and then said tremblingly for a long time: "Ling Tianyu, sixth level of body tempering! Passed!"
"I...am I dazzled?"
"How...how is this possible? It must have been with the help of a panacea! It is impossible to reach the sixth level of body tempering through ordinary cultivation!"
"Isn't it trash?"
······
Everyone was dumbfounded that a person who could not sense the Heavenly Profound Yang Qi could actually reach the sixth level of Body Tempering Realm.
"Tianyu..." Ling Xuan's eyes moistened, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Tianyu, you are really great!" Xiao Wu smiled excitedly.
Ling Tianyu's face was dull and he slowly retreated.
Ling Yanfeng was just a little surprised, but also a little unwilling to expel Ling Tianyu from the Ling family. However, even though Ling Tianyu's current physical strength is surprising, it is still a fact that he cannot absorb vitality, and he is destined to have no achievements in the future.
Then, Ling Yanfeng stood up and said calmly: "Today's outer sect assessment ends here. Those who pass the assessment will take the inner sect assessment next month, provided that they have reached the strength qualification of Qi Condensation Realm!"
After saying that, Ling Yanfeng glared at Ling Tianyu coldly with his vicious eyes.
Ling Tianyu showed no fear and looked into Ling Yanfeng's gaze, his eyes filled with conviction and pride.
Ling Yanfeng couldn't help but be stunned. When he stared at Ling Tianyu, he felt that the person standing in front of him was not a useless young man, but a mature and wise man.
Of course, Ling Yanfeng also thought that it might just be an illusion, so he announced that the external examination was over and everyone left the compound.
The next month will be the inner sect assessment.
But in this short period of one month, even if Ling Tianyu tried his best to hone his body, it was impossible to reach the strength of the Qi Condensation Realm in this short period of one month.
