Xiao Ding, the head of the Xiao family, summoned Xiao Jihan that night when he received the notification from the Sixth Elder.
Several elders also visited Xiao Jihan one after another in the evening, as if they had agreed. Although Xiao Jihan's current cultivation level was nothing in their eyes, this time, the amazing talent Xiao Jihan showed,
But he is destined to become the top master of the Xiao family in the future. Even surpassing the head of the family, Xiao Ding, is not impossible...
Such a person is worthy of them making bets in advance and forming a good relationship.
Because he had always been subordinate to people like Xiao Jihan, Ji Zi was ranked second. Xiao Jishan, who had also been in seclusion for nearly half a year, finally succeeded in breaking through the warrior barrier on the second day after Xiao Jihan came out of seclusion.
Entering the realm of martial arts. He thought that he should be able to compete with Xiao Jihan in this year-end competition, at least to disrupt the situation before Xiao Jihan and Chen Hao's life and death duel, but just after he came out, he learned about Xiao Jihan's promotion
News about the fifth-grade warrior.
This made Xiao Jishan, who had a rough personality, feel a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart...
The senior martial arts masters who were under the age of twenty were also shocked. They knew very well how difficult it was to advance to the martial arts realm each time.
…
"Fifth-grade martial artist, I made a mistake..."
Late at night, Mr. Xiao stood at the top of Tianlu Mountain behind Xiao's house, looking at the continuous Cangyun Mountains in the distance, and said to himself.
"I wonder how far that brat can be promoted? However, it seems that there is no hope this time... In half a year, Xiao Jihan was promoted from a seventh-level warrior to a fifth-level martial artist... With such talent and understanding, I'm afraid
He's stronger than that brat, the only thing he lacks is that he doesn't have spiritual roots... There's still one day left, it's time to come back, right?"
…
Chen Hao has been away from the Xiao family for a full four months. For such an insignificant character, many people should have forgotten him long ago. However, as the Xiao family's outer disciples see the end of the year approaching day by day, not only have they not forgotten Chen Hao, on the contrary
, Chen Hao has once again become one of the topics of discussion.
Some people speculated that Chen Hao may have died in the Moyun Mountains; others speculated that Chen Hao may have been afraid because of his momentary bravery and fled to someone unknown, and may never return to the Xiao family;
A very small number of people think that Chen Hao will definitely come back. Of course, if Chen Hao comes back, 99% of people think that there is only one ending, and that is death...
Until the day before the year-end competition, when night fell and Chen Hao still had not returned, almost everyone thought that Chen Hao had either escaped or died in the Moyun Mountains.
That night, Xiao Ling'er, who had a good relationship with Chen Hao, couldn't sleep. Firstly, he would face the year-end competition early tomorrow morning, which made him feel uneasy. Secondly, Chen Hao had not returned yet, so Xiao Ling'er
She felt uncomfortable. Even she thought that she might never see Chen Hao again in the future. That young man in coarse linen clothes but with amazing talent might only exist in her memory and gradually disappear with the passage of time...
…
"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."
At eight o'clock in the morning, the rising sun was rising, and the soft sunshine was pouring on the earth. A new day had just begun, and loud, powerful, and dense bells rang throughout the Xiao family. In a moment, one after another figures quickly came to the Xiao family.
At the core, we walked to the largest martial arts arena.
The annual Xiao family competition is the most solemn event of the Xiao family.
All Xiao family disciples, whether they are in the Xiao family, within Yunzhou County, or outside Yunzhou County, will put aside everything and return to the Xiao family to watch this competition.
Because, this is not just as simple as ranking the Xiao family's disciples under the age of twenty, but more importantly, it is also about selecting the ten best disciples to represent the Xiao family and participate in the Yunzhou Martial Arts Competition.
This is a major event related to the future destiny of the Xiao family. No one cares about it and no one doesn't pay attention to it.
If the Xiao family is strong, as disciples of the Xiao family, they can stand tall when they are outside. If the Xiao family is weak, they have to be inferior to others.
There is no doubt that this will be the most crowded and lively time of the year for the Xiao family.
…
"Bold, where did the beggar come from? Is this a place where you can come?"
Just as everyone in the Xiao family quickly gathered towards the martial arts field, several Xiao family guards who were on duty at the gate of the Xiao family saw a ragged beggar trying to enter the Xiao family. One of the guards
He immediately drew his sword and shouted sternly, stopping the beggar.
"I am a disciple of the Xiang generation, Xiao Xianghao!"
To the surprise of several guards, the "beggar" said in a deep voice without changing his expression. Of course, even if his expression changed, it would not be visible. At this moment, Chen Hao had been running wildly for three days and three nights in a row, and his face was already covered with dust.
Only the deep black eyes are still clear.
"Xiao Xianghao? Are you Xiao Xianghao?"
"Exactly!" Chen Hao responded with clasped fists.
In the four months since he left the Xiao family and went to practice in the Moyun Mountains, his originally thin body, perhaps due to his crazy training, has grown by half a head, and he has become a bit stronger.
Originally, he should have returned to the Xiao family ten days ago, but an accident trapped him for ten days. After getting out of the trap, he ran all the way, and finally dared to come back at the beginning of the Xiao family competition.
However, at this time, his unkempt appearance made it difficult for people to associate him with a disciple of the Xiao family.
The long hair can definitely fly into the dust with just a pat. The strands are stuck together and are extremely dirty. The whole body is even darker, exuding a strong smell that looks like blood and a stench.
Such a breath...
It was obvious that he hadn't taken a shower for who knows how long. The clothes on his body seemed to have become smaller, and they were even more tattered and black. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find the mark on the chest that symbolized the disciples of the Xiao family, as well as the dazzling...
No. 99. These were originally white clothes, but now they are almost purple and black...
"You actually came back alive?"
After several guards looked at it carefully for a moment, one guard stared at Chen Hao in surprise and said. Obviously, these guards had long known that Chen Hao went to the Moyun Mountains alone to practice.
"Can we go in?" Chen Hao smiled slightly, showing his white teeth, and said calmly: "The year-end competition is about to begin..."
"Boy... it really stinks... Ahem, if I were you, I would leave here immediately. It's not easy for you to come back with your life, so why come here to die? Listen to my advice and leave the Xiao family...
You should be more low-key in the future!" What surprised Chen Hao was that the middle-aged guard did not answer his words, but looked at him with pity and said.
"Thank you for reminding me!" Chen Hao was slightly stunned, and said to the middle-aged man with clasped fists. Now that the other party confirmed his identity, he no longer hesitated. Under the surprised eyes of the middle-aged guard and other guards, he resolutely stepped into Xiao
Home.
