Du Xuan stayed in Du Mansion for a month, and in addition to gathering with his family, having dinner and chatting as much as possible, he occasionally went to the Demon Garden to guide the Demon Cultivators in the Mansion. Because of Du Xuan, because of the rise of Demon Fight, all families of Demon Fighters, including Du Mansion, have the intention to practice Demon Fighters. This is tantamount to an excellent momentum for the entire Demon Cultivator.
A month later, Du Xuan bid farewell to his family, left Ducheng, and officially stepped into the wild forest alone.
This time, entering the wild forest was different from Chen Lao, Tang Tianren, Du Tianyin and others before. Du Xuan made up his mind to come back and take a look. After all, Du Xuan is less than 30 years old and is still young. Unlike Chen Lao and the others, they are all old men and don’t have much concern.
However, the wild forest is extremely dangerous and cannot be entered by Zhong Nan, Long Wanshan and others. Therefore, Du Xuan did not bring them with him when he left the Demon Valley. Moreover, Zhong Nan had already started a family and started a career, so it was impossible for him to wander around with Du Xuan as before.
Long Wanshan finally got a demon cultivator again, but Du Xuan would not let him take risks again. More importantly, Long Wanshan was detained by the Wumen and wanted to be executed. Li Yanping, who had a good impression of him, took the initiative to show her love after learning that Long Wanshan safely returned to the Demon Valley. So the two naturally got together.
Many things that you dare not let go and many difficult words will become less difficult after experiencing more important things. Perhaps, grasping the present and doing it bravely is the right way to do it.
If Du Xuan had accepted Gu Jinxuan's love early and spread it out with Xie Ming early, perhaps Xie Ming would not have betrayed Du Xuan at a critical moment, Gu Jinxuan would not have had no choice but to let go, and would not have been seriously injured for Du Xuan in the Wuhun.
If Du Xuan had not given up on Feng Yao and Wang Lingyun at the beginning, perhaps many tragedies would not have happened later.
However, there is no if in the world.
Now, Xie Ming betrayed and disappeared. Zhong Nan and Long Wanshan have a place, leaving only Du Xuan, a lonely man, which is just right for exploring the wild forest. Oh, no, Du Xuan has a son, the son left by Wang Lingyun. Because of this, Du Xuan was determined to survive in the wild forest and take the time to come back to see his son.
Leave Du Mansion and Du City.
The scenes of the past decade have quickly reappeared in Du Xuan's mind like a revolving lantern. It seems that fourteen years ago, Du Xuan became a useless person because of Mr. Zeng's frame-up and had to leave Du City that day.
However, that day, Du Xuan sat alone in the carriage, leaving Ducheng without any sad face. But today, he left Ducheng with a hint of reluctance, a higher yearning, and a bit premature vicissitudes and maturity, and left Ducheng with the envy and admiration of everyone.
Flying above Ducheng, looking at the familiar houses under your feet, the familiar streets and alleys under your feet. Also, the largest building in Ducheng, the martial arts competition venue. Du Xuan's thoughts couldn't help but fly back to that year and that day.
*******
Seventeen years ago.
Ducheng, the competition venue.
"Hey!"
"Woo ha!"
In this huge and packed martial arts competition venue, people burst into cheers from time to time. Because here, Ducheng's annual event, Wucai, is being held.
The so-called martial arts exam, in short, is the qualification assessment of the martial arts practitioners. In this half month of the continent, if anyone wants to practice martial arts and become the highest-ranking martial arts practitioner on this continent, he must first pass the martial arts exam.
"Bahu!"
A magistrate excitedly raised the hourglass in his hand, looked at the dazzling stands beside the competition court, and shouted loudly.
The man in the stands was standing at this time the owner of the city, Du Mansion. The hourglass in the hands of the referee was now stamped on the eighth smallest scale.
"Hey! Brother Mu succeeded! Brother Mu succeeded!" Du Xuan, who had just turned twelve years old, was standing next to his father Du Pengyu, holding his younger sister Du Xing's hand and shouting happily. The deeply infected Du Xing also cheered and jumped.
Du Zhijin, the elder of Du Mansion, slowly stood up from his seat with a smile on his face, walked to the stand railing, stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. He was calm and calm, but invisibly gave people a sense of awe.
This is the last candidate to take the martial arts exam today, and he is a direct disciple of the Du family.
"Du Yumu, fourteen years old, passed the martial arts examination." Du Zhijin announced loudly, but there was no fluctuation of excitement in his words.
"Hey!"
"Woo ha!"
Everyone cheered again.
The outer periphery of this huge competition venue is four hundred feet long and two hundred feet wide, and more than 10,000 people make the place full. And Du Zhijin, the elder of the Du Mansion, can make everyone hear their voices clearly, which shows how profound his skills are.
Du Yumu in the field was waving his fists, roaring loudly, venting his excitement. Now, he is just a fourteen-year-old boy, but has passed the martial arts examination and is about to become the youngest martial arts practitioner in the Du family. He is the most dazzling martial arts practitioner in the Du family, so there is naturally enough reason to roar with excitement!
Du Yumu's brothers and sisters could no longer contain their joy and rushed into the field, laughing with Du Yumu, and were happy for it.
At this moment, the young Du Xuan frowned and looked at the happy brothers and sisters on the court with great pleasure and gathered together to celebrate.
Just a moment.
Du Xuan suddenly turned around, looked at the two elders who were about to leave, and shouted: "Grandpa Jin, Grandpa Wei! I also want to take the exam, and I also want to be a martial artist!"
Hearing the crisp shouts, the two elders looked back and found that it was Du Xuan, who stroked his beard and laughed. Du Xuan is the youngest direct disciple of the Du family now. He is cute and adorable.
Du Pengfei is in a good mood. His son Du Yumu has just passed the martial arts examination at the age of fourteen. In the future, his lineage has great hope of having greater power in the Du family.
So, before the elders answered, Du Pengfei smiled and said to Du Xuan: "Xuan'er, don't make a fuss! How many months are you still before you are twelve years old? Come and take the exam in two years. Your brother Mu will pass the martial arts exam at the age of fourteen!"
"No, I'm going to take the exam now! The martial arts exam is so simple, I can definitely pass it!" Du Xuan said very firmly, and after that, he stared at his two grandfathers, Du Zhijin, the eldest elder of the Du Mansion, and Du Ziwei.
At this time, Du Xuan's father scolded: "Xuan'er, don't make trouble."
After being stopped by his father, Du Xuan slowly lowered his head aggrievedly. Seeing this, everyone thought Du Xuan should have given up on making trouble, so they prepared to leave again.
Unexpectedly, before everyone's steps could be taken, Du Xuan raised his head firmly and begged loudly: "Grandpa Jin, please let me take the exam once. If I fail the exam, I will climb the back mountain twice a day, no, climb the back mountain three times! Grandpa Jin, please let me take the exam once."
What about climbing the back mountain twice or three times a day? Except for Du Pengyu, everyone was a little confused.
However, Du Xuan's tender face was so firm. This firmness made people unable to believe that it appeared on the face of a young boy less than twelve years old, which made the two elders present very difficult. For a moment, they were a little reluctant to refuse.
"Nothing!" After calming down, the Great Elder Du Zhijin snorted coldly. It seemed that he was not in a good mood today.
However, before Du Zhijin could continue to talk, the fourth elder Du Ziwei immediately said: "Although Xuan'er is young, his will is so firm, and it will be of great use in the future. Brother Jin, I think, let Xuan'er take the exam once. It won't take much time to go around, at most I'll just sit for a while."
Hearing this, he looked at Du Xuan's firm eyes that longed for. Du Zhijin was slightly stunned, but suddenly showed a smile and nodded, "Well, that's fine! I heard that Xuan'er performed well in Shaoshuo Sect, so I'll give him an inspiration. Maybe, three years later, Xuan'er will also give us a surprise."
Then, Du Zhijin turned around and ordered: "Pengfei, continue to tell me and let Xuan'er take the martial arts exam."
Du Pengfei is the second generation of disciples of the Du Mansion, who is in charge of the Raptors Association of the Du Mansion. The Shaoshang Sect is an organization under the Raptors Association, which specializes in training Du Mansion disciples who are not martial artists. Therefore, Du Pengfei is mainly responsible for the martial arts examination.
"Yes, the lord of the house." Du Pengfei responded, and then immediately turned around and explained.
Seeing that Du Zhijin had already approved, Du Xuan immediately smiled and opened his mouth, bowed to the ground happily, thanking him: "Thank you Grandpa Jin! Thank you Grandpa Wei."
"Ha ha."
"Ha ha."
The uncles and elders around were all amused by this cute Du Xuan. They were still ignorant at a young age, so naturally they were more pityed.
*******
The martial arts examination is divided into three items, which are respectively assessed for endurance, strength and speed.
Endurance requires running three thousand feet, that is, twenty miles within a moment and a half. This competition ground is about two hundred feet per lap, which means you need to run around this competition ground for fifteen laps.
In this half-moon continent, the time of day and night is twelve hours, with eight hours per hour, three copies per minute, and three copies per hour.
Strength means using a punch or a leg to kick a magic weapon to shine.
As for speed, it must run fifty feet within ten seconds.
The above three items are evaluated in sequence, and each item can rest for one stick of incense. Moreover, there is only one chance for each item to be tested. If any item fails, you can only wait for the next year's martial arts exam.
From this we can see that the martial arts examination is simply an impossible task for Du Xuan, who is only twelve years old. Even in this half month continent, it is rumored that the youngest martial arts practitioner is thirteen years old. Therefore, Du Yumu was able to pass the martial arts examination at the age of fourteen, which has already surprised the Du Mansion. However, Du Xuan insisted on taking the martial arts examination, as Du Zhijin said, it should be regarded as an inspiration.
"quiet!"
"Xuan: The last martial arts examiner, Du Xuan, a direct disciple of the Du family, was twelve years old." The chief magistrate shouted in the stands.

ps: Most of this volume is about Du Xuan’s experience of martial arts cultivating in three years seventeen years ago, which gives everyone a deeper understanding of martial arts cultivating and also solves the reasons why Du Xuan had huge advantages when he was later in the magic cultivating. It was not until the last chapter of this volume that he would return to reality.
