The place was crowded with people, and the heated flow of people and discussions made the Ling family's family competition directly reach the point where the atmosphere was overwhelming.
Highly anticipated and watched by all! In such a hot scene, the semi-finals of the Ling Family Competition, the two top talents of the younger generation, Ling Ling and Ling Buwei, finally stepped onto the competition stage.
“This year’s family competition has a lot of twists and turns, but it’s also a lot of excitement!”
At the Ling family's martial arts arena, the head of the VIP table, Ling Potian, looked at the two majestic men and women of two years on the martial arts stage, and couldn't help but show admiration and reminiscence on his face: "This girl Ling'er, as well as not doing anything for
That boy's talent in martial arts is indeed quite good, he's just as good as I was back then... It's precisely because of this that this family competition is much more popular than the previous ones."
"Ling Ling and Ling Bu are indeed the top geniuses among the third generation of my Ling family. If they are vigorously cultivated, their future achievements will be extraordinary."
Beside him, Ling Shouxin also nodded and said, "However, although the two of them are extremely talented, our Xiao'er is not inferior to them, and may even achieve higher achievements than them in the future."
"Hahaha!" Hearing Ling Shouxin's words, Ling Potian said with a smile: "Of course, it doesn't matter whose seed it is or whose bloodline it continues!"
Ling Potian smiled and talked to himself, and suddenly said to Ling Xiao who was standing beside him: "Xiao'er, what do you think of Ling Ling girl and Ling Buwei? If we encounter them next, will there be a fight?"
And the confidence to win?”
"Grandpa, before the family competition started, I told you that I would soar into the sky, become a blockbuster, and give you a big surprise - this big surprise is none other than the winner of the family competition!"
Ling Xiao said confidently: "So, no matter who dares to stop me from winning this crown, I will use my iron fists to blast them away!"
"Very good. In a battle, if you want to win, having self-confidence is extremely important."
Ling Potian nodded approvingly after hearing this, but then said with a change of tone: "However, self-confidence is not arrogance, and you cannot underestimate your opponents, especially talented people like Ling Ling and Ling Buwei. So, in the next step,
During the time you come down, you first need to calm down, adjust your breath to soothe your injuries, and be in full condition during the battle. Secondly, you need to watch their competition, understand their martial arts moves, and then figure out how to break their offensive.
strategies and methods!”
"Grandpa, I understand that I will not be arrogant." As an old monster with a memory of more than three hundred years, Ling Xiao will naturally not be as easily arrogant as a young man.
The reason why he said that just now is, firstly, it is a kind of confidence in his own strength, and secondly, it is also to show a young man's appearance, so as not to show that he is different and be noticed by others.
"Grandpa, I'm very pleased that you can think so."
"These are some spiritual sands that contain a lot of spiritual energy. They are very useful in restoring vitality. You can use them now to restore your lost skills!"
As Ling Potian spoke, he took out a small bag made of brocade cloth from his arms, took out a few transparent stone sands like large diamonds, and sent them to Ling Xiao.
It is the spiritual sand that those who practice martial arts dream about, a kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure formed by the gathering of spiritual energy from the weather. If you have a large amount of this kind of thing, even a pig-like qualification can be used to build an Earth Yuan Realm master.
However, such things are extremely valuable. Although the Ling family is one of the four major families in Black Rock City, they don't have much inventory.
As the head of the Ling family and the number one master of the Ling family, Ling Potian couldn't use it every day. He only used it as a life-saving thing in the most critical moments, and he only had a few dozen in his hand.
This time he took out a few and gave them to Ling Xiao, which also showed his true love for Ling Xiao.
But what he didn't know was that Ling Xiao didn't have the heavenly material and earthly treasure spiritual sand in his hands, and there was quite a lot of it.
He squeezed it out of Ling Yun's hands. Although he gave half of it to his father, Ling Shouxin, he has only used one or two of the rest so far.
Therefore, after he pondered for a moment, he did not take over and said: "Grandpa, you are now at the peak of the twelfth level of the Pulse Condensation Stage. It is the most critical moment to break into the Earth Yuan Realm. You should keep these spiritual sands for use.
In addition, my grandson also has some spiritual sand in his hand, which is more than enough for cultivation."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Ling Potian asked in disbelief: "You have spiritual sand in your hand? How is this possible? Did Shoushi give it to you?"
Listening to Ling Potian's words, Ling Shouxin on the side felt a little embarrassed. That spiritual sand was given to Ling Xiao by him! On the contrary, it was Ling Xiao who gave it to him.
So, Ling Shouxin laughed awkwardly and briefly told Ling Potian the process of how Ling Xiao obtained the spiritual sand.
At this point, Ling Potian was completely convinced, but at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of Ling Xiao, and felt that his grandson had indeed opened his mind and was different from the past.
"Since you have spiritual sand, old man, I will keep these few spiritual sands and tell me when you are in a hurry."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth in his heart. Then he nodded, took out a piece of spiritual sand, placed it in the palm of his hand, and began to refine it with his energy, warming his injured body and meridians, and at the same time,
With sharp eyes, he paid attention to the peak showdown between Ling Ling and Ling Buwei on the competition stage.
Ling Xiao's body and upper body had a lot of scars from Ling Ran's fist, but they were actually superficial injuries.
Although these injuries look a bit scary, they are actually not very harmful. As for the damage to the meridians, there is even less damage. Instead, the old beggar's remaining skills in his Qi Sea are stimulated and integrated into the meridians, making the meridians more powerful.
It was wider and stronger before.
Therefore, Ling Xiao only allocated a small half of his energy to recuperate his body, and the other half of his energy was devoted to the duel on the competition stage.
Because compared to the physical damage, a thorough study of the full strength of Ling Ling and Ling Buwei on the competition stage will be more beneficial to him in the next competition.
Therefore, after the competition between Ling Ling and Ling Buwei began on the competition stage, Ling Xiao's attention was quickly drawn to it.
On the competition stage, there is great energy and heavy fist shadows, and in the meantime, there is also a powerful and indestructible sword power.
The power of this sword is clear and penetrating, as if it were carved out of frost. It is cold, but hard and unyielding. Its owner is the supreme genius Ling Buwei who came out of the Ling family branch.
This Ling Buwei is 1.83 meters tall and has a resolute face. Although he is not handsome, he reveals an indomitable spirit. He is obviously a strong person who does not give in easily.
Such a person is focused and concentrated. If he concentrates on martial arts, his achievements will be extraordinary.
This time, he not only turned to martial arts, but also focused on swordsmanship, which is the most difficult to practice among martial arts. He is a swordsman practitioner with a somewhat cold personality.
Speaking of kendo, it is a branch of martial arts that focuses on killing. People who practice kendo are almost generally stronger, more ruthless, and better at killing than people in the same realm.
This time, Ling Buwei faced off against Ling Ling. Even though Ling Ling was a beautiful girl and a relative of the same clan, Ling Buwei didn't hold back much. From the beginning of the fight, he used all his strength to fight, with one handle specially used for the fight.
The trial wooden sword seemed to have become a living thing in his hands, ever-changing and mysterious.
Even though Ling Ling was a violent woman who believed in aggression and violence, she was still restrained by Ling Buwei's attacks and could not display her full strength at all.
Therefore, this decisive battle was characterized as the hottest and most evenly matched one in the Ling family, and Ling Buwei was immediately in complete control of the situation.
The entire battle lasted for more than ten minutes. From the beginning to the end, Ling Ling was at a disadvantage. It was not until Ling Buwei's wooden sword was pressed against his throat that he let out a cold snort.
Then he glared at Ling Buwei fiercely, then turned around suddenly, stepped on his little feet, making the whole competition ring sound, and walked away angrily.
"The semi-finals of the family competition, the duel between Ling Ling and Ling Buwei, the winner is Ling Buwei!"
In the VIP seat, Ling Shouxin used his energy to transmit his voice to the ears of everyone present: "Next, there will be the final of this family competition, the championship battle. This battle will be between Ling Xiao and Ling Buwei. Rest.
Half an hour later, the two sides will start a duel, and the winner will be eligible to enter the family martial arts building and choose any martial arts technique to practice."
Listening to Ling Shouxin's voice, the martial arts arena was filled with hustle and bustle and endless expectations.
Compared with the excitement of these people, the nine sons of the Ling family sitting at the VIP table were a little on pins and needles.
Because the descendants of nine of their families have now been wiped out, even Ling Ling and Ling Ran, known as the top geniuses of the third generation, were defeated one after another.
Under this situation, they almost became angry and almost left the table angrily. However, in order to see clearly how deep the potential of Ling Xiao, a dark horse who has risen strongly, is.
They had to endure their anger and continued to sit in the VIP seats with fake smiles on their faces and continued to watch the game.
In this way, amidst the complicated and enthusiastic expectations of everyone, half an hour passed by in a flash.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Shouxin, who was presiding over the competition, announced the timing, and the decisive battle of the family competition officially began.
"Xiao'er, don't force yourself in this battle. As long as you try your best, it doesn't matter even if you lose." Ling Shouxin told Ling Xiao at the VIP table.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't lose this battle." Faced with his father's instructions, Ling Xiao responded with a smile and strode towards the competition stage a hundred meters away.
"This kid is still as stubborn as ever." Ling Shouxin sighed.
"Keep your word, Xiao'er's temperament is not called stubbornness, but self-confidence. He believes that he can definitely win."
On the side, Ling Shouxin heard Ling Potian's words, his fat face shone slightly, and nodded silently.
While Ling Shouxin and Ling Potian were whispering, Ling Xiao had already walked several hundred meters away and arrived at the competition stage standing in the center of the martial arts arena.
On the competition stage, two young men stood tall and full of energy!
Under the stage, spectators from the Ling family and the major forces in Black Rock City watched from a distance, almost spontaneously stopping their whispers and discussions, and stared at the two upright young men with bright eyes.
"Since I came out of the mountains and entered the family head's house, I have always heard about you."
On the competition stage, Ling Buwei, who stood tall and straight, holding a wooden sword, was very energetic: "However, the rumors I heard at that time were all so-called negative news about you. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.
Rumors must not be believed easily. If you are really as useless as the rumors, how could you, the dandy young master, stand out from the family competition and advance bravely to this level!"
"Haha, I have also heard a lot about you, but almost all of them are positive news, which is exactly the opposite of what I heard." Facing Ling Buwei, Ling Xiao responded calmly.
"After the previous few battles, we both have an almost complete understanding and research of our respective strengths."
After Ling Buwei introduced the topic, he immediately went straight to the point and said: "So, I don't think we need to fight for more than ten or twenty minutes like in the previous competition."
"Oh? So it seems that you want to use a novel method with me to decide the outcome of this battle?" Ling Xiao frowned slightly and said with interest.
"Yes, I think it doesn't make much sense for us to continue competing like before. It's a waste of time. It's better to go head-to-head and use each other's strongest attack in one move. The winner will be determined by one move!"
