Tang Fei felt very heavy, not only because of Tang Yuanbao, but more importantly because of the clan meeting they mentioned.
The clan meeting is a grand martial arts competition held every year by the Tang family. It is not only a simple competition, but also hides the selection of outstanding juniors by the Tang family. Regardless of the Tang family's previous prosperity or current decline, the family's requirements for the clan meeting are always the same.
Very strict and full of expectations.
There is a clear stipulation in the clan meeting that those who participate in the clan meeting five times in a row and are still stuck in the body quenching realm will be unable to pass the assessment for life.
Failure to pass the assessment means leaving the Tang family's base camp in Tangjia Town and being assigned to other industries of the Tang family. After all, the resources used for cultivation in the clan are limited, and they can only allocate these resources to more
Talented juniors.
As for those who are eliminated, they will enter the commercial or agricultural class of the Tang family and become merchants and farmers who are inferior to others.
In this world, warriors have the highest social status, while the status of businessmen and farmers belongs to the civilian class. No one will give up being a noble warrior and become an ordinary civilian.
The current business and agriculture of the Tang family have become difficult to survive after the continuous suppression of the other two major families. The future of the younger generations who enter these two industries is dark. No one of the younger generations of the Tang family wants to be a businessman, let alone a businessman.
They are unwilling to become farmers, so passing the clan association assessment is extremely important in their eyes.
The Tang family has always looked at the selection of younger generations, not based on age but on advancement. If a person stays in the body quenching realm for four to five years, it means that this person has no hope of breaking through to the qi training realm, and the family will naturally not be here.
A lot of thought goes into planting people.
Returning to the room feeling depressed, Tang Fei touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck out of habit, then sat down on the chair in front of the desk, took out the small notebook he copied from his arms, and began to read word for word.
Read it.
This was not the first time Tang Fei had practiced "Fire Fire Kung Fu", but he still asked himself to read it slowly, trying to understand every little detail in the book.
It took a full hour for Tang Fei to read through the more than ten pages of the mental method. Then he closed his eyes and began to follow the instructions in the mental method to try to sense the true energy.
After a long time, Tang Fei's eyelashes fluttered a few times and he opened his eyes sadly.
As before, there was still no movement at all, and Tang Fei sighed in annoyance.
Picking up the chip, Tang Fei lay on his bed and looked at the chip while murmuring to himself: "Little luminous stone, do you know the trouble in my heart? How I wish I could break through to the realm of Qi training.
How I wish to help grandpa and the others share the burden, grandpa has not smiled happily for a long time..."
Just talking to himself like this, Tang Fei gradually fell asleep, and the hand holding the chip was stretched on his chest.
In the quiet little room, the only sound left was the boy's subtle breathing.
Suddenly, the jade pendant on Tang Fei's chest was shrouded in a burst of light blue light, and an unclear voice gradually came out.
"The energy on this piece of jade is so pure, but the shell is too hard, otherwise I could have absorbed enough energy to wake up long ago. I didn't expect that it took a whole year to replenish the energy needed by the artificial intelligence. This
The jade pendant should belong to this little guy, right? Listening to what he just said, he seems to be in a lot of trouble. It’s okay, I just need the energy supply of the jade pendant, so I’ll treat it as a transaction and help this kid!"
The soft female voice was full of wisdom. After two playful chuckles, the voice disappeared, and the light blue light covering the jade pendant also quietly faded away at this moment.
Drowsily, Tang Fei woke up, slapped himself on the ear, and said to himself: "Tang Fei, you are so disappointing, how can you fall asleep during training..."
Just as he was about to sit up, he suddenly felt a cold feeling on his chest. He was very familiar with this feeling. It was this cold feeling when he was burned by a fire a year ago. He reached out and touched it, and the chip was flashing softly.
The blue light is indeed that magical 'ore'.
Holding the ore, Tang Fei jumped off the bed, walked to the table again, and said with a bitter smile: "The "Fire Fire Kung Fu" is still not good, it seems that I, Tang Fei, am destined not to be a master..."
"That's not necessarily true. If you stick to it now, there might still be hope, but if you give up, there will be no hope at all." A pleasant voice suddenly sounded, and Tang Fei turned pale in fright. He looked around and saw the room.
There is only one person in it.
"It's weird, where did the sound come from? Is it my imagination?" Tang Fei murmured, stroking his rapidly beating heart.
"Whoosh!"
A light blue figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Fei, smiling and saying: "Hello, my name is Mengyao, please take care of me when we first meet."
"Oh my god, ghost!" Tang Fei fell to the ground, looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him in panic, and exclaimed: "You, you, you... don't come over, my grandpa is very powerful...
"
Mengyao felt angry and funny, so she could only explain: "Don't worry, I'm not who you say I am, and I won't harm you..."
Tang Fei was still scared. He glanced at the door from the corner of his eye and suddenly jumped up and ran towards the door.
What a ghost! Oh my god, what a ghost, what a ghost in broad daylight... Tang Fei was in a mess. His only wish now was to leave the room and tell his grandfather that there was a ghost in the room.
"call out!"
Just when Tang Fei was about to run to the door, the 'ghost' appeared in front of the door with a smile.
Tang Fei stopped suddenly and asked tremblingly: "You...what do you want to do?"
Mengyao smiled helplessly: "I told you, I won't harm you, but I can help you practice the things in that booklet."
Mengyao pointed her finger at the "Fire Fire Kung Fu" on the table.
Tang Fei's heart was still beating fast, and he said suspiciously: "You can let me practice "Fire Fire Kung Fu"? But why should I believe you..."
Mengyao chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm not in a hurry to break through to the Qi training realm."
Tang Fei's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know that I haven't reached the Qi training stage..."
It's over, it's over, this ghost is so powerful. He knew that I was in the Body Tempering Realm the moment we met. I'm still young and I don't want to die...
Mengyao said: "You told me this yourself!"
"Did I tell you?" Tang Fei was stunned. This was his first time seeing a ghost.
"Yes, you just told me that you wanted to break through the Qi training realm." Mengyao nodded affirmatively.
"You're talking nonsense. I just said to Little Ore..." Tang Fei suddenly paused and suddenly stretched out his palm. The chip was currently wrapped in a layer of blue light.
"I am the 'little ore' you mentioned, but to be precise, it should be called a chip." Mengyao explained.
It turned out that I picked up this ghost. Tang Fei was so frightened that he wanted to throw away the chip, but as soon as he raised his arm, he remembered what Mengyao said just now.
Tang Fei timidly said: "Sister Ghost, can you help me advance to the Qi training realm?"
He realized that this was probably an opportunity for him. If he gave up, he might not make any progress in his life.
Mengyao said angrily: "If you call me sister, or Sister Mengyao, I can consider it..."
Tang Fei did not dare to disobey, so he smiled and said, "Sister Mengyao, can you really help me break through the Qi training realm?"
Mengyao's eyes swept over Tang Fei's small body, which made Tang Fei feel tingly in his heart.
"Completing that booklet counts as Qi training?" Mengyao asked.
Tang Fei nodded obediently.
"Then your body is basically hopeless..." Mengyao said with a pity tone.
Tang Fei: "..."
This ghost is playing tricks on me!
Tang Fei was angry, but he didn't dare to make a mistake.
