Lei Zhenshan added: "But before announcing the assessment matters, I want to reward a few children who have performed very well this year. Everyone should follow their example, work hard, and make outstanding contributions to our Lei family!"
He said, showing a kind smile, waving downward: "Fang Hui, come up."
The disciples were excited again. Although they had expected that Fang Hui would be personally rewarded by the family leader for his outstanding performance this year, they did not expect that it would be so grand.
The owner's actions are clearly trying to build momentum for Fang Hui.
Fang Hui stepped forward with neither humility nor arrogance, and said politely: "I am Fang Hui, please see the head of the family, the first elder, and the second elder."
Lei Zhenshan smiled and said: "Fang Hui, I heard that you just returned to Lei's house last night. You have been outside for more than half a year, and it's been so hard."
"This is the cultivation of the master of the family, allowing my subordinates to receive training, which I can only ask for." Fang Hui said, "And thanks to your blessing, my subordinates have successfully completed this year's mission without disgrace."
Lei Zhenshan felt very comfortable after hearing this and said with a smile: "Very good, Fang Hui, you have performed very well this year. You must be well prepared for this year-end assessment. To put it bluntly, at least half of the changes in the year-end assessment will be
It’s all changed for you.”
All the disciples couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The faces of the disciples with the foreign surname were full of envious smiles, but the faces of the disciples with the Lei family became ugly.
For Lei Zhenshan to praise a child with a foreign surname so highly is undoubtedly an embarrassment to them. But Fang Hui's achievements are so good that no one can blame them. Even if the children of the Lei family are dissatisfied, they can only feel aggrieved in their hearts.
Fang Hui's expression was calm, without any hint of pride: "Thank you, Master, for your recognition of me. I will definitely not let you down."
Lei Zhenshan smiled and nodded, signaling with his eyes that a servant came over with a tray and handed it to him with both hands.
Lei Zhenshan opened the red cloth on the tray, revealing two white jade-like medicine bottles and two jade slips, and said: "Here are forty Bu Yuan Dan and two elementary spiritual arts jade slips, one of which is low-grade and medium-grade.
Spiritual Arts, I see that you are already in the late spiritual stage, and your realm is quite stable. You should be able to practice more advanced spiritual arts. This is just an additional reward for this mission. You can also go to the Alchemy Academy and the Secret Book Academy to receive corresponding contributions.
Award."
This time, even the core disciples of the Lei family changed their expressions.
Lei Zhenshan's words revealed two pieces of information. First, Fang Hui not only broke through to the late spiritual stage, but also had a stable state. It seems that entering the core is a sure thing.
Secondly, Fang Hui was rewarded by the head of the family and could practice elementary and intermediate spiritual arts, which meant that his combat power would not be low. Thinking of Lei Zhenshan's words that he specifically changed the assessment rules for Fang Hui, everyone's heart was a little shuddering.
Has Fang Hui become so powerful?
"I would like to thank the master of the family." Fang Hui put away the elixirs and jade slips, said neither humble nor overbearing, and then retreated.
Later, Lei Zhenshan called two other young men with foreign surnames who had performed well. After awarding them awards, he also encouraged them.
After the two disciples retreated, Lei Zhenshan said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, today I am rewarding the children with foreign surnames. This means that there is no surname distinction among the children of my Lei family, only ordinary and core. All children are treated equally.
Whoever performs well will be rewarded!"
Xu You looked at him coldly, feeling quite impressed.
Although Lei Zhenshan used dirty tricks against him, the head of the family was indeed more mature than the old. Rewarding Fang Hui and other children with other surnames in public was obviously for the children of the Lei family.
As long as there is competition and pressure, the children of both sides will keep moving forward. This is a very old-fashioned stimulation method, but it is very effective.
"I will officially announce that the end-of-year assessment for the children of the Lei family will be held in the training ground in three days. And as I just said, some changes will be made this year." Lei Zhenshan said again.
He paused for a moment and then glanced at everyone: "The change is that in previous years, ordinary children and core children were assessed in separate teams, but this year there is no separation, all children will participate in the assessment together!"
"What!" As soon as he said these words, all the disciples immediately burst into an uproar.
If the ordinary disciples and the core disciples are tested together, wouldn't they all be at the bottom? Even the weakest core disciples have middle-stage spiritual body cultivation. Most of the ordinary disciples are in the early stage of spiritual body. How can this compare?
Lei Zhenshan waited until the crowd's voices gradually subsided and then said: "Please be patient, everyone. Although the two teams of students will be assessed together this year, the distribution mechanism is still the same as before. It is still ordinary students versus ordinary pairs, and core disciples versus core disciples.
, there will not be a situation where the core disciples and ordinary disciples will fight against each other from the beginning."
Only then did everyone's faces gradually return to calm.
Lei Zhenshan added: "The advantage of doing this is to allow some ordinary disciples with good cultivation to stand out quickly, and also to see which core disciples are just trying to make up the numbers, providing a better way for our Lei family to select real talents.
."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Hui. The change in the assessment method was indeed the most beneficial to him. Lei Zhenshan was not lying.
It seems that Fang Hui is going to shine in the assessment at the end of this year... Many of the disciples are thinking to themselves.
Next, Lei Zhenshan emphasized a few things about the year-end assessment, including rules, time, preparation, etc., then announced the disbandment, and then left with Lei Dongfang and others.
The disciples discussed the changes in the assessment in twos and threes, and then dispersed.
Xu You was about to leave when his arm was unexpectedly grabbed by Lei Ming and others, dragging him aside and whispering: "I heard that Fang Hui came back last night and came to trouble you. He is so popular now and has broken through to the late spiritual stage.
The head of the family also looks at him differently, you must not go against him, even if you hold back for a while, it’s okay, you can just get the situation back when your cultivation becomes stronger in the future.”
"Looking at Fang Hui's posture, let alone being the number one ordinary disciple, it seems that he wants to win even the top few core disciples. Lei Ming is right, and Xu You, giving in temporarily does not mean that he will give in in the future." Lei Zhen
Also advised.
"Yes, Xu You, take a step back and the sky is brighter. I feel uncomfortable looking at Fang Hui's stinking look today. What about the later stage of the spiritual body? When I met Brother Lei Fang, I was beaten to pieces. The head of the family praised him so much. It's really awesome.
The ambition of the children with other surnames will destroy the prestige of the family!"
Other Lei family members who were close friends also tried to persuade him and took the opportunity to express their dissatisfaction.
Xu You knew that they were really thinking about him, and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and said, "Looking at what you said, it seems that if Fang Hui provokes me, I will rush up and fight him to death. Do I have that much?"
Everyone laughed.
"Aren't you worried that your kid will be stubborn and you won't appreciate it?" Lei Ming smiled and punched him.
"Xu You!" Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice sounded, and Lei Qinglan walked over calmly.
"Miss Qinglan!" Lei Ming and others quickly put away their playful smiles and said solemnly.
They must maintain a good demeanor in front of this flower of the Lei family.
Xu You also quickly bowed politely: "Miss Qinglan."
Lei Qinglan walked up to him: "I also heard about what happened yesterday. Don't hold on. If you meet Fang Hui in the assessment, just admit defeat. Don't give him a chance to do anything. There are rules, and he won't dare to do anything to you.
How about it."
Xu You was startled, then showed a strange look on his face: "Yes, Miss Qinglan, I remember it."
Lei Qinglan looked at his expression and was a little annoyed: "I'm telling you seriously, don't turn a deaf ear, do you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it..." Xu You smiled bitterly and could only keep his promise.
"Anyway, if you can't remember, it's you who will suffer the loss." Lei Qinglan gave him a stern look, turned and walked away.
"No more talking about ten dollars..." Xu You looked at her slim back and wanted to say this.
Suddenly, at a glance, I saw Lei Ming and other disciples winking at each other with lewd expressions.
He immediately understood what these thugs were thinking, and laughed and cursed: "You bunch of animals can gossip about anyone, but don't gossip about me."
Lei Ming smiled maliciously and said: "We won't gossip about you, we will only punish you. After a while, we will process it, and a shocking breaking news will be released. Miss Qinglan, the daughter of the Lei family, will deal with a despicable, shameless, and obscene person."
Xu You, why are you favored so much? This is the same as why a 90-year-old woman died naked on the street. It must be the headline of the Lei family every year!"
Lei Zhen and others suddenly laughed.
"Oh, I think you're tired of living." Xu You said through gritted teeth, strangled Lei Ming's neck, and pushed him to the ground.
The other children of the Lei family laughed loudly and pressed on one by one, making a fuss.
Fang Hui, Feng Chen and the other three were about to leave the training ground. When they saw this scene, contempt flashed across their faces.
"A bunch of garbage. If they weren't of Lei's blood, they would probably have become the feces of wild beasts." Feng Chen said sarcastically.
"It is estimated that if we let them carry out our mission, none of them will survive." Another disciple also nodded.
Fang Hui shook his head and said: "But this is not a fact that we can change. As long as we are in the Lei family, we will always be outsiders. What we need to do is to continue to become stronger until we are strong enough to stand on our own!"
"Yes, brother!" Feng Chen and the young man said solemnly.
Three days flew by.
The night before the exam, Xu You sat on the ground in the center of the practice room, exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and his eyes were bright, like two blazing lights.
In the past few days, he had sorted out what he had learned, including exercises, spiritual techniques, and insights from beginning to end.
Although there is no progress in cultivation, my understanding of cultivation has become deeper. All the principles are like a crystal clear stream flowing through my heart, and my insights are indescribably profound and clear.
Moreover, after running the Spiritual Art, Xu You even felt like he had an epiphany. He wanted to close his eyes and wake up thousands of years later.
This means that his accumulation of practice has increased a lot, his foundation is extremely solid, and his room for improvement is also very broad.
"Tomorrow is the end-of-year assessment. I'm not too interested in other rewards, but it would be best if I could get another skill that is the same as Yu Qing Gong or Four Symbols Gong. After all, He Guang Gong will be practiced soon.
Perfection, the speed of cultivation cannot be slowed down."
"But the skill is a very generous reward. Without any contribution, I'm afraid I have to be in the top three or even first to have this possibility. I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but it seems that it is impossible."
"It doesn't matter, I have been lurking in the Lei family for several months, and I should make a big splash. Fang Hui, I am really looking forward to the confrontation with you. I hope you won't disappoint me!"
