Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, there are only two short months left before the Chongyang Gate entrance examination.
At the gate of Xiao Meng, three village chiefs led many villagers to see Xiao Ye off.
Some outstanding juniors from the Xiao League, such as Shi Bo and Wu Daniu, are among them.
After taking the Houtian Pill, they had been promoted to the Houtian realm, but they understood that with their strength, it was unrealistic to pass the Chongyang Sect assessment, so they gave up the idea of participating in the Chongyang Sect assessment and stayed in the Xiao League.
"Ye'er, we are waiting for you to become famous in Dahong County!" Xiao Tianxiong laughed loudly, looking at Xiao Ye with eyes full of pride.
He recalled the sparring match he had with Xiao Ye a few days ago. Xiao Ye accepted his attack without changing his expression.
You must know that after Xiao Tianxiong took the Jade Spirit Pill, his cultivation level skyrocketed, breaking through the realm barriers and advancing to the half-step innate level.
From this point, we can see that Xiao Ye's strength is terrifying, and becoming famous in Dahong County is no empty talk.
"Ye'er, be careful." Henry Zhang walked forward with Luo Meilan, his eyes full of encouragement.
The man has ambitions in all directions. With Xiao Ye's qualifications, Qingyang Town cannot restrain him at all. The Black Dragon Kingdom and even the True Spirit Continent are his stage.
Luo Meilan looked at Xiao Ye with a face full of reluctance and red eyes.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving." Tears flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes, and he was very reluctant to give up, but he had to take the Chongyang Sect entrance examination.
After saying that, Xiao Ye, in the eyes of everyone, put the flame knife on his back, turned around and strode away.
"Ye'er, I hope you will be an innate warrior when you come back next time." Xiao Yang murmured.
At this moment, the rising sun stretched the boy's shadow extremely long, as if foreshadowing the boy's future.
After walking out of Qingyang Town, Xiao Ye was so excited that he raised his head and shouted: "Chongyang Gate, I'm coming!"
The last time he left Qingyang Town, he was forced to leave by the Blood Wolf. This time he left for a more glorious future.
Today, Xiao Meng is like a newborn baby. Only if he breaks through to the innate realm or even the Xuanwu realm can Xiao Meng thrive.
"I, Xiao Ye, will definitely compete for the title of Prince of Dahong County!" Xiao Ye's eyes were brilliant and full of confidence.
Although he did not have the assistance of elixirs, with the Tower of Time in hand, his cultivation level had been approaching the late stage of the ninth level of Hou Tian Realm after hard training.
Coupled with the perfect second-level combat skill Kaishan Fist and the true meaning of martial arts, he has the confidence to compete with the geniuses of Dahong County.
Of course, he is not proud of his own strength.
Because in this assessment, his opponents are all geniuses with much higher starting points than him. Who knows what methods the opponent will have? He will get the opportunity to understand the true meaning of martial arts, and maybe others will too.
And to be on the safe side, he would not use the flame knife easily.
"The Chongyang Gate is located in Dahong County, where the assessment is conducted. It is two thousand miles away from Qingyang Town. Two months is enough for me to make the journey."
Xiao Ye took out the map to the county town, determined the route, and left.
With plenty of time, Xiao Ye was not in a hurry. He was quite comfortable practicing while admiring the scenery along the way. It was his first time traveling far away and he was very curious about everything.
At this time, the ancient family's mansion in Wutan City.
Gu Chuqiu, who looked sickly and pale, sat in the hall. Opposite him, sat a middle-aged man with a face somewhat similar to his.
The middle-aged man had a frosty face, wore a silver robe, and had two overlapping scorching suns embroidered on his chest.
Anyone who is familiar with all the forces in the Black Dragon Kingdom can tell at a glance that the overlapping scorching sun represents the Chongyang Gate. And this middle-aged man is Gu Chudong who has returned from the Chongyang Gate.
"Brother, that little bastard caused me so much harm, you must avenge me!" Gu Chuqiu said with anger on his face. As long as he thought of Xiao Ye, the anger in his heart would rise and he could not control himself.
Gu Chudong said angrily: "How dare you say that such a big Gu family was destroyed by a young man? Gu Chuqiu, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still the same stupid person!"
When he learned that the Houtian Pill and Jade Spirit Pill he had obtained had been snatched away by a young man, and that Gu Chuqiu's cultivation was also ruined, Gu Chudong was almost furious.
In anger, he sent troops to investigate Xiao Ye's origins, but because there were too many towns around Wutan City, this was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Being scolded by his compatriot brother, Gu Chuqiu lowered his head and did not dare to refute.
In fact, Gu Chudong looked down on Gu Chuqiu, but the other person was his brother after all.
"Hmph." Gu Chudong snorted coldly, "Okay, let all the investigators come back. That boy is very talented and will definitely take part in the Chongyang Sect entrance examination."
"I happened to be promoted to the silver-robed elder of the Chongyang Sect. I will be responsible for the assessment of Dahong County this time. When I meet that kid, I will definitely kill him!" Gu Chudong's eyes flashed with coldness. He was an innate strong man.
The breath escaped, making Gu Chuqiu on the side feel suffocated.
"What about Chen'er?" Gu Chuqiu asked quickly.
The former number one genius in Wutan City, because he did not absorb any pulse-cleansing power in the pulse-cleansing pool, he stopped at the sixth level of the Houtian Realm and was overtaken by Su Hao from the Su family.
It is too difficult to get a good ranking when taking part in the assessment with such a level of cultivation.
Gu Chudong glanced at Gu Chen in the hall and said, "Don't worry, let Chen'er follow me. With me here, Chen'er's grades will not be bad."
…
Soon, one and a half months passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Ye passed through eight cities and was only a hundred miles away from the county seat of Dahong County.
The closer you get to the county town, the more boys and girls you see around you. Each of them has a sharp aura and high fighting spirit, and all of them have the cultivation of the acquired realm.
No, next to Xiao Ye, there was a young man chattering.
"Brother Xiao, look at how beautiful this scenery is."
"Brother Xiao, which city are you from?"
"Brother Xiao, your cultivation is so strong, how many rankings do you plan to achieve?"
…
Xiao Ye's forehead veins jumped and he strode away. He just wanted to stay as far away from this guy as possible.
"Hey? Brother Xiao, please slow down and wait for me." The young man behind him quickly followed him without any self-awareness.
This young man's name was Shao Yan. He met him in a city called Yuehua City. He was the number one genius in that city and possessed the eighth level of acquired heaven realm.
When Xiao Ye saw that he was a kind person, he went to the county with him. But now Xiao Ye regretted this decision because Shao Yan was so eloquent.
"Brother Xiao, I also know that I talk a lot, so my father changed my name to Shao Yan just to make me talk less." Shao Yan said slightly embarrassed.
Xiao Ye glanced sideways at Shao Yan, the meaning was obvious, it turns out you are self-aware.
"Boy, hand over your belongings and I will spare your life!" When they approached a dense forest, a group of bandits with weapons rushed out from inside.
Xiao Ye's eyes were cold.
The number of these bandits is not large, only about ten or so, and the strongest ones are only at the seventh level of the Houtian realm.
Maybe it was because he and Shao Yan were both teenagers, so he felt contempt for them.
"Hmph, you dare to rob us, you must be tired of living!" Just when Xiao Ye was about to take action, Shao Yan walked out first, looking like he was the only one who had nothing to do with himself.
At the same time, an aura erupted from his body, which could reach the seventh level of the Houtian Realm, on par with the strongest bandits.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ye had countless black lines hanging from his forehead, this guy was ready to trick people again.
"You seem to be a genius at the seventh level of the Houtian realm, but there are so many of us, do you think you can handle it?" The man with the strongest cultivation level burst out and said with a face full of mischief.
Shao Yan seemed to be frightened by the powerful aura, with a fearful look on his face: "Uncle, don't kill me, I will give you all the money."
With that said, he quickly took out the money and handed it over.
"Haha, what a weakling."
The bandits laughed and allowed Shao Yan to walk past.
The moment he approached the bandit, a cold light flashed in Shao Yan's eyes, and the aura on his body suddenly rose to the eighth level of the Houtian realm, and then he let out a long roar and started killing.
These bandits were shocked. Shao Yan's opponents were all killed in just a few breaths.
"Hmph, you dare to rob me, I will kill you." Shao Yan clapped his hands proudly and took out several thousand taels of silver from the bandit's body, his eyes narrowed into a straight line.
A strange color flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
In fact, this scene has happened several times.
Shao Yan has practiced a secret martial arts technique that can hide part of his cultivation. It is said that even the innately powerful people have difficulty seeing through the reality.
Along the way, Shao Yan specifically picked out places where bandits were likely to hang out, and then used this method to trick people, and he never tired of doing it, leaving Xiao Ye quite speechless.
"Haha, it's really cool." Shao Yan laughed and came back, "Brother Xiao, I think you are a good person, so I will pass on this secret technique to you."
Shao Yan took out a booklet from his arms, threw it to Xiao Ye, and said rather mysteriously.
Xiao Ye was slightly startled and subconsciously took the booklet, only to see the three characters "Qi Hidden Jue" written on the cover.
"Give it to me?" Xiao Ye felt a little moved.
You must know that every secret technique of martial arts is no less precious than combat skills and exercises.
"Don't worry, this is just a manuscript. It was originally in the hands of my father." Shao Yan said carelessly.
Xiao Ye's heart moved slightly. If he could learn this secret technique, he would be able to achieve unexpected effects when fighting against strong men.
"Thank you." Xiao Ye didn't say much. He kept this kindness in his heart, and then opened the secret technique and started practicing.
With the help of the Tower of Time, it only took him two days to practice successfully. His true energy was wrapped in mysterious power, reducing his whole body's energy to the early stage of the eighth level of acquired heaven.
Shao Yan was amazed at this speed.
"Haha, Brother Xiao, if you learn this secret technique, you will definitely be grateful to me when you get to the county." Shao Yan said with a smile.
"Why?" Xiao Ye was a little surprised. This was not the first time he heard the other party say such things.
Could it be that this set of secret techniques has other uses besides hiding one's cultivation?
"After learning this secret technique, you can get a lot of treasures." Shao Yan said mysteriously.
When Xiao Ye asked, Shao Yan changed the subject, and he had no choice but to give up.
At this time, in front of the two of them, a huge city filled with the breath of time appeared, as if a ferocious beast was raising its head and roaring.
"Dahong County City!" Xiao Ye looked at the city with blood all over his body. (To be continued)
