Chapter 36(1/2)
The coming-of-age ceremony is something that everyone only experiences once in their lifetime, so it is particularly important.
According to past rules, the Li family's coming-of-age ceremony was held together with the Fang and Chen families, and this year was no exception.
This year, it is the turn to be held at the Chen family residence.
"Tian'er, Ke'er, after today, you will be adults."
Li Rou said to the pair of boys and girls beside her, her beautiful face full of doting.
"Ke'er, did you hear that? We will be adults from now on, and we can give birth to a grandson for our mother."
The boy said to the girl beside him.
The latter's face turned crimson, and he lowered his head in shame, speechless.
"You brat, you have a beautiful idea!"
Li Rou glared at the young man and said, "My granddaughter is not bad either. She will definitely be as beautiful as Ke'er in the future..."
Originally, Duan Lingtian looked at his mother's serious face and stopped teasing him. When he heard what his mother said next, he was completely speechless.
Is this genetic?
"Did you hear that the Ninth Elder is about to have a grandson? If you don't help me lose weight after the adult ceremony, I will break your legs! With your current figure, which girl would dare to marry you?"
Not far away, Fifth Elder Li Ting was teaching the little fat man beside him, who looked at the instigator with an innocent face and resentment.
Duan Lingtian tilted his head and ignored him.
The coming-of-age ceremony is held once a year by the three major families in Qingfeng Town. The participants are all young people who have just turned sixteen... Duan Lingtian, Ke'er and Li Xuan will all turn sixteen after today.
In the Chen family's mansion, the vast martial arts arena was surrounded by the Chen family's children who were watching the excitement.
The heads of the Chen family, Li family and Fang family are now standing on the high platform in front of the martial arts arena, responsible for presiding over today's coming-of-age ceremony.
The coming-of-age ceremony is nothing more than some simple ceremonies. The most important thing is the 'friendship fighting' held after the coming-of-age ceremony.
The so-called friendship martial arts competition is to allow all the boys and girls from the three major families in Qingfeng Town to participate in the martial arts competition. Finally, the top ten, the top three and the first place will be decided, and the rewards prepared by the three families will be distributed.
"Isn't that Duan Lingtian?"
When hundreds of young boys and girls gathered in the martial arts arena, some sharp-eyed disciples of the Chen family recognized a young man standing inside.
"By the way, Duan Lingtian happens to be participating in the coming-of-age ceremony this year."
"It seems that there is no suspense in this year's friendly battle. Duan Lingtian must be the first!"
"That's for sure. I'm afraid no one would dare to fight him."
…
The disciples of the Chen family were talking a lot.
"Is he Duan Lingtian?"
A child of the Chen family looked at the young man in the distance and was stunned.
Isn't this young man the same young man who went to their Chen Family Arms Shop to buy materials, and who seems to have an weapons refiner behind him?
Soon, the coming-of-age ceremony officially begins!
After the simple ceremony, there were speeches from the three heads of families in Qingfeng Town, which were nothing more than some words of encouragement...
"Really boring."
Duan Lingtian frowned, feeling sleepy after hearing this, which made the girl next to him cover her mouth and chuckle.
"Boss, can I use the inscription pattern in the friendly battle after the coming-of-age ceremony?"
The little fat man stood on the other side and asked softly.
"Except for us, the Li family, you can't use it. It's up to you to take care of everyone else."
Duan Lingtian said lazily.
"Boss, if it weren't for our Li family, I wouldn't have to use the inscription..."
The little fat man was so anxious that he almost cried.
He could handle the boys and girls from the Fang and Chen families without using any inscriptions. The problem was that this time there were several elders' children of the Li family participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.
He was not sure about these people!
"Who told you to be lazy!"
Duan Lingtian looked helpless as he glared at the little fat man.
Although he prepared the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid for Li Xuan, Li Xuan was wild-tempered and could not calm down to practice. He is still at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
The children of several other elders who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony together were not as good as him in terms of cultivation conditions. They only had the Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid, and now they have all entered the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
"Forget it, there is no chance for the top three. I can always make it into the top ten."
The little fat man quickly looked away.
To him, being in the top three means more dignity, and he doesn't pay attention to the extra rewards.
Finally, as the speeches of the heads of the three families ended, the friendly fighting officially began!
There are a total of 121 boys and girls from the three families participating in the coming-of-age ceremony this time. They will be divided into two waves of 60 groups for the first round of elimination.
However, this friendly fight with Duan Lingtian is destined to be different from usual...
After some discussion among the heads of the three families, even if the head of the Fang family, ‘Fang Yi’, was not very happy, he had to admit Duan Lingtian’s strength and directly ranked Duan Lingtian as the number one in this fight!
None of the boys and girls present had any objections to this decision...
What a joke, Duan Lingtian killed a first-level Dan Ling realm warrior not long ago. Even if Duan Lingzhen participated in a friendly fight, they would unconditionally choose to admit defeat when they met Duan Lingtian.
Fighting with Duan Lingtian, a pervert, is definitely asking for abuse!
Duan Lingtian's current strength has long surpassed that of his peers in Qingfeng Town...
"Boss, you'll feel great. You don't need to be dismissed, you can directly reach the top of the rankings!"
The little fat man held the No. 32 tag in his hand and looked at Duan Lingtian with a look of envy and jealousy.
Ignoring the little fat man, Duan Lingtian looked at the girl beside him and asked, "Ke'er, what's your number?"
"Number 7."
The girl smiled.
Soon, the friendly fighting began.
Looking at the young girls punching and kicking in the martial arts arena, Duan Lingtian dozed off again.
It wasn't until Ke'er finished that he felt a little more energetic.
When Ke'er came off the stage, he stood there slim and graceful.
The elegant and refined figure and angelic face quickly attracted everyone's attention...
"What a nice view!"
"If I could marry such a wife, I would be willing to live for only ten years."
"Stop daydreaming, and don't take a piss to look at yourself. This is Duan Lingtian's woman."
…
Some young men from the Chen family who were watching, their eyes shining, stared greedily at the girl in the field.
"Eighth level of body tempering realm!"
On the high platform, the heads of the three families, including Li Nanfeng, the head of the Li family, were stunned, seeing through the girl's cultivation level at a glance.
Ke'er's opponent was a slightly introverted young man who was at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. His shots were quite decent. However, Ke'er knocked him back with a casual palm and voluntarily admitted defeat.
From beginning to end, Ke'er didn't use martial arts...
Of course, the most important thing is that Ke'er doesn't know martial arts.
It's not that Duan Lingtian is stingy, he even passed on top skills such as "Ice Divine Sword Art" to Ke'er, so naturally he doesn't care about ordinary martial arts. He just doesn't want Ke'er to be distracted.
"Eighth level of body tempering realm!"
At this time, an elder of the Chen family stared closely at the girl walking down from the field and exclaimed.
Upon hearing his words, the surrounding Chen family disciples instantly turned to stone!
This girl who has just turned sixteen is an eighth-level warrior of the Body Tempering Realm?
Soon, everyone in the martial arts arena knew about the girl's cultivation. Everyone who knew it immediately was petrified. It took them a while to come back to their senses and look at the beautiful girl who was chatting and laughing shyly with Duan Lingtian.
"She is an eighth-level warrior of the Body Tempering Realm? Are you kidding..."
"The third elder said it, do you think it was a joke?"
"Damn! This Duan Lingtian, not only is he a freak, but the people around him are also freaks!"
…
The friendly fight was going on in full swing. As the day passed and evening fell, the final result came out.
To be continued...
