Everyone present was shocked when they heard Su Xing say this so calmly and indifferently.
Looking at the confident look on that young man's face, could it be that he is really a Qi Gathering Realm warrior now, and that he came here today to receive the nameplate as he said?
"I don't believe it!" Su Peng shook his head and said he didn't believe it, but he didn't notice the smile on his face unconsciously shrinking.
"Bang!"
Su He slammed the table again and yelled angrily: "Not only does this kid not admit his mistakes, he dares to speak arrogantly. What do you think of my Su family's Yulingtang? Bring me a whip!"
As he spoke, he glared at the previous disciple who was about to go to the backyard. The disciple shrank his head, did not dare to neglect any more, and ran towards the backyard with a look of fear on his face.
"Second Elder, wait!"
At this time, Su Peng suddenly raised his hand to block Su He who was about to step forward.
"Um?"
Hearing a snapping sound, Su Peng closed the paper fan in his hand. He stepped forward in two steps and walked in front of Su Xing. He turned around and said to Su He again: "Second elder, Su Xing said that he has gathered energy. Everyone present
None of you, including me, believe it. But since he said so, why not let us test him."
"How to test?" A trace of doubt appeared on Su He's old face.
Su Peng, with a sneer on his face, said slowly: "It just so happens that I have been promoted to Qi Gathering recently. Today I came to Yu Ling Hall to receive my nameplate but I met Su Xing. I'm afraid it was God's will."
"The two of us had some trivial grievances before, but we are destined to meet today. Why don't we let him and I duel in the clan's martial arts arena to try his true skills. Elder, what do you think?"
"This..." Su He was slightly startled.
Su Pengke has indeed been promoted to Qi Gathering, which his father had just said hello to him. Su He thought to himself, if Su Peng hits Su Xing too hard and the family head comes to visit, he, as a witness, will not be able to
It's easy to shirk responsibility.
But he thought of his grandson who had lost his appearance and would have difficulty finding a wife in his life, and he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
If Su Yicheng came to question him, all he had to do was say that it was Su Xing who said that he had gathered energy, and he wanted to compete with Su Peng to explain it. Since what he said was the truth, Su Yicheng must not have done it either.
I blame myself so much.
"Well... there is a rule in the clan that the difference in realm between the disciples competing on the martial arts platform must not exceed one major realm. Since Su Xing said that you are in the Qi Gathering realm, you are the same as Su Peng and can compete in martial arts." He
He stroked his beard with his hand and said calmly, pretending to be indifferent.
The smile on Su Peng's face became even brighter when he heard this. He put a paper fan against Su Xing's shoulder and sneered: "Cousin Su Xing, you also heard that the second elder allowed us to compete on the martial arts stage. You... can't
Are you scared?"
Hearing the other party's ridicule, Su Xing also smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the person in front of him.
I don't know since when, Su Peng was no longer the little boy who followed him every day and cried whenever he was bullied, seeking revenge on him.
"Of course. I have just been promoted to Qi Gathering, and now I need a wooden stake to practice with." His tone was cold, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words. After speaking, he didn't look at the two of them again.
He turned around and left directly.
"I'll wait for you at the competition ring."
The young man's back gradually faded away, but his faint voice echoed in the Yuling Hall, and the echo lasted for a long time.
Su Peng looked at his back with a ferocious face, gritted his teeth, and secretly made up his mind to beat Su Xing into a useless person.
…
Su Mansion, Competition Stage.
The location of the Su family competition platform was a square-sized open space specially set aside by the head of the family when he built the mansion, so that the clan could come and watch the disciples compete with each other and learn from it.
But in recent years, fewer and fewer disciples have come to the competition stage to compete. Some people say this is because the younger generation of disciples in the clan have gradually formed factions and do not dare to provoke each other openly.
But the theory of factions is just a rumor after all. Whether this news is true or not, no one knows.
At least, the young man standing at the end of the competition stage doesn't know whether this is true or not.
Su Xing, who was dressed in a gray robe, straightened his chest and straightened his back, looking flatly towards the south of Yu Ling Hall, with his hands behind his back, and the silk belt around his waist fluttering in the wind.
Hearing that Su Xing was going to have a fight with Su Peng in the martial arts arena, the idle disciples from the clan came to the martial arts arena one after another. It was a year ago since the last martial arts arena was opened. Therefore, people were all interested in this.
I was looking forward to the duel in Hui. Even several elders from the clan came to watch the battle.
People came in droves, and the first thing they saw after entering the square was the young man with his back to everyone.
Seeing that tall and straight body, people at first thought it was some heroic and majestic young master from the clan.
But when they walked in and saw the boy's face and recognized his identity, they couldn't help laughing.
At that moment someone said:
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Su Xing! Could it be that he was worried that his tragic situation after defeat would arouse ridicule, so he came to the competition stage in advance to put on a good appearance, so that he would not look so embarrassed."
"I say that this Su Xing's previous fight with the young master of the Lu family has already damaged the face of our Su family. Now, he wants to have a decisive battle with Senior Brother Su Peng. He is really overestimating his capabilities."
"Yes, I originally thought that Su Xing would restrain himself after he was promoted to the Body Tempering Master, and he would accumulate more experience. I didn't expect that he would still be so rampant."
"Half a month has passed since he had an appointment with Lu Tianying. He should have completed the body tempering process now, right?"
"Ha! So what if the body tempering is perfect, Lu Tianying has perfected the energy gathering! I can only pray that Lu Tianying will be gentler and leave some face to my Su family."
There were more and more people in the square, and the crowd was full of different opinions and discussions. Although everyone usually had their own opinions, once they talked about Su Xing, their words and deeds were very unified.
The noise in his ears did not affect Su Xing's state of mind. His posture has not changed since he stepped onto the competition stage.
A moment later, an old man and a young man came from the south.
Everyone looked intently and saw that the old man approaching was none other than Second Elder Su He, and the young man beside him walked tall and looked at him with a contented look on his face.
Su Peng!
The scene was boiling again. Since that day's spirit verification meeting, people all knew that Su Peng had a fifth-grade spiritual root and was indeed a genius of the Su family today.
A month ago, he had reached the peak of the body tempering realm, which made every disciple present begin to secretly speculate on his current realm.
Some people speculated that he had gathered Qi now, but others retorted that if he really had gathered Qi, Su Xing would not be worthy of standing on the competition stage with him.
When Su Peng saw Su Xing, he smiled sarcastically, walked up the steps slowly, and climbed onto the competition stage.
For a moment, the two people on the competition stage were separated from each other, staring at each other.
The second elder, Su He, walked to the small independent platform next to the competition stage and hit the ground heavily with the crutch in his hand.
"Boom——"
Hearing this voice, the scene became quiet for a moment.
Su He's move meant that he would begin to introduce the two players on the competition stage.
"I am the witness of today's competition, Su He."
On the stone platform, the second elder Su He had a serious face, with an inviolable look on his wrinkled face, and the aura of Chuan Ting Yue Zhi suddenly enveloped the entire place.
"Now, let's introduce the two disciples from the clan who are competing today."
He said, stretching out his hands and pointing to both sides.
"Su Peng, Su Xing."
"The two contestants have already communicated with each other about their realms in the audience, and the difference is less than one major realm. Therefore, this contest is allowed to take place."
Hearing this, everyone lamented that Su Peng was still fully tempered and had no Qi gathering.
"Before we begin, do you two have anything else to say?" He glanced at Su Peng, then glanced at Su Xing out of the corner of his eye.
Su Peng took off his robe and threw it to the attendants in the audience, revealing a brocade robe. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Su Xing, I heard that you love betting with others. You made a date with Lu Tianying with spiritual stones as a bet."
War, is this a real thing?"
Su Xing said nothing, and raised his head slightly to look at the horizon, as if he was waiting for someone.
"How about we make a bet too?"
Seeing that he ignored her, Su Peng couldn't help but feel a little angry and shouted: "In this duel, the losing side will kneel down and kowtow three times to the other side. Do you agree?"
"Master! Master!"
At this time, a clear and touching female voice was heard in the ears of everyone present.
Su Xing raised her eyebrows, thinking that she had finally arrived.
He turned sideways and saw the girl trying her best to squeeze forward from the back of the crowd, calling him.
He nodded towards the girl, reached out and gently pulled on the ribbon around his waist, and with a wave of his hand, he also took off his gray robe.
Seeing Que'er getting closer and closer to him, he threw his robe towards him, then turned back and looked at Su Peng.
"Of course I agree."
A smile appeared on the young man's face, his eyes were watery, and he replied simply and calmly.
