The initiation ceremony of the Yulong Duan clan is held at a fixed location, which is at Gongqian Pavilion, located on the right side of the Duan clan's public martial arts training ground, between Huiwei Pavilion and Ningxin Pavilion. It covers an area of nearly 5,000 square meters and is 60 meters in length from north to south.
It is slightly long from east to west, up to 80 meters in length and width. From east to west, it is divided into 6 small pieces by 6 straight sections of stone. It is transparent from north to south, but there are no buildings to obstruct the view.
On the southernmost side of the Gongqian Pavilion, there is a wooden terrace-shaped auditorium with a canopy of greenery that has been built all year round. It is in the shape of a semicircular arch and is also surrounded in the east-west direction. There are four steps in front and back, which is just right for the guests who come.
Watch the entire entry test process.
Speaking of which, this viewing platform has been built since the Yulong Duan family established its foothold in the ancient town. It has survived hundreds of years of wind and rain and has remained immortal. It can also be regarded as an ancient building of great research value.
It is said to be an entry test, but it is actually a place to show the potential of new disciples to the clan elders and invited guests. Basically, there will be no elimination, and formal disciples and elite disciples will only be distinguished according to the disciple's potential.
Because it is just an initiation ceremony for a new apprentice, in the past, in addition to banqueting the apprentice's parents and elders, inviting relevant senior managers of Duan's cooperative enterprises, and notifying the senior managers of Duan's industrial administration department and business department, it was usually
There will be no other guests.
But this time, everyone who came to the ceremony was very surprised to see several guests they had never expected.
For the first time, the Duan family of Dali, a sect that had little contact with them, sent two unparalleled innate masters, Qi Liang and Duan Chengchong, to lead eight elite disciples of the Duan family of Dali to attend the initiation ceremony of the three disciples.
These two innate masters are both tall and slender with stern faces, especially Duan Qiliang. His extremely short hair is black and shiny, and his unsmiling face makes him look more like a guest than a guest.
It is a criminal pursuit of fugitives.
Luo Han learned from Duan Xiangyuan that the contemporary patriarch of the Dali Duan clan and the most powerful one, Chengxian, had entered the innate realm thirty years ago and was the clan leader of the Dali Duan clan. This Duan Qiliang, formerly known as Duan Chengrui, was originally named Duan Qiliang.
Normally, he can only be called an outstanding disciple, but not the best. However, when he was in his fifties, due to an unexpected encounter, his skills improved by leaps and bounds. In just ten years, he became an innate master on par with Duan Chengxian.
.
The two had fought for hundreds of rounds, and they were neck-and-neck. If Duan Chengxian was not the direct lineage leader, Duan Chengrui was a side branch, and the elders of the clan unanimously agreed with Duan Chengxian, the choice of this clan leader would have been quite a headache. Therefore, the previous generation clan leader of the Duan family in Dali
, he once praised Duan Chengrui as the pillar of support and changed his name to Duan Qiliang.
Given his name by the clan leader, Duan Qiliang had a paranoid sense of superiority towards the Duan family in Dali, and looked down upon the disciples of the Duan family in Yulong. In the past, Duan Haiming led the Duan family in Yulong to seek advice from the Duan family in Dali, and they were often criticized by this person.
His words were insulting, so all the children of the Yulong Duan family had a bad impression of Duan Qiliang.
Now the Duan clan of Dali sent Duan Qiliang to watch the initiation ceremony of Luo Han, who was also an innate master. His intention was self-evident.
Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong arrived last night, and Duan Jianzhong, the clan leader, personally accompanied him. At this moment, Duan Qiliang was sitting quite arrogantly in the middle of the first row of the auditorium, and he made some false remarks to Duan Haiming.
, he is very cold towards others, even Duan Jianzhong, the current patriarch of the Yulong Duan clan.
However, Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong came on behalf of the Duan family in Dali after all, and the Yulong Duan family was separated from the Duan family in Dali. Going back from Yuanbo, it is equivalent to a subordinate relationship. Therefore, although Duan Haiming and Duan Jianzhong are quite similar in their hearts,
Dissatisfied, but on the surface, I still have to tolerate it.
But it is precisely because Duan Qiliang is not the patriarch, so the person sitting next to him is Duan Haiming, who has just been promoted to an innate master. Duan Jianzhong, the patriarch of the Yulong Duan clan, is sitting on Duan Haiming's right hand, and Duan Jianzhong's right
On the side, three elders of the same generation, Duan Haiqiao, Duan Haikun and Duan Haiyu, were sitting in sequence. To the left of Duan Qiliang, Duan Chengchong was placed. To the left of Duan Chengchong were the senior managers of the company that had a cooperative relationship with the Yulong Duan family.
Knowing that Duan Haiming, who had been wandering in the middle of the sixth level due to internal injuries, unexpectedly broke through to the innate realm because of Luo Han's arrival, Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong, who were sitting on the viewing platform at the moment, had different expressions on their faces.
He is not as arrogant as when he first arrived at Yulong Duan Family, but has become a little more restrained, a little gloomy and unhappy.
After all, with the addition of Luo Han, the Yulong Duan clan now has two innate masters, who are equal in number to them.
Of course, Duan Qiliang has a very high self-esteem and feels that both he and Duan Chengchong have practiced in the innate realm for many years, and their skills must surpass Luo Han and Duan Haiming, who have just entered the innate realm. However, facing each other in the same realm, they are not as good as before.
The overwhelming advantage that was envisaged at the time, therefore, some action plans must be adjusted appropriately.
As for the eight younger generation disciples of the Duan family in Dali brought by Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong, the tide has risen, and they are sitting in the center of the second row, with the future patriarch Duan Hujun, and the younger generation of the Yulong Duan family.
Hu Cheng, the number one top player of the generation, sat together.
Luo Han stood at the entrance, looking at the eight disciples of the Duan family in Dali from a distance, secretly sighing at the heritage of the Duan family in Dali. These eight disciples are basically in the middle of the fourth level of the "Jade Dragon Yuanhua Heart Sutra"
, three of them have even reached the peak of the fourth level. Compared with the younger generation of the Yulong Duan family, only Duan Huchun and Duan Hucheng are at the fourth level, which is indeed much better.
Of course, this does not mean that the disciples of Yulong Duan are not talented, but it is caused by the serious imbalance in the resources enjoyed by both parties.
At this moment, Duan Hujun, as the future clan leader, is now being cultivated to the peak of the fourth level, Duan Jianqiang, the eldest son of Duan Qiliang, and Duan Jianyang, the second son of Duan Chengchong.
Appearing yin and gloomy.
"Alas! I really don't understand. Your Yulong Duan family is backed by a good environment like the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Lijiang is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Why are all the junior brothers so lazy? They are almost thirty years old.
, we haven’t even broken through to the fourth level, so how can we practice our Duan family’s powerful Heavenly Pulse Finger, which is so powerful in the martial arts world?”
"If you travel around the world in the future, and when someone hears Duan's name, they ask for help from the Tianmai Finger, how should you junior fellow apprentices respond? Junior Brother Jun, Junior Brother Jun, you really should supervise them!" the hook-nosed one said.
Duan Jianqiang looked disdainfully at the younger members of the Yulong Duan family who were watching the ceremony, shook his head, and sighed loudly.
In fact, Duan Jianqiang was quite depressed.
It turned out that before he set off, the Duan clan of Dali learned about the news, saying that among the younger generation of the Yulong Duan clan, except for Luo Han, a disciple with a foreign surname who had just started, no one had reached the peak of the fourth level, and his side occupied the absolute upper hand.
Advantage.
Therefore, their group of 8 disciples were all selected to have a cultivation level that has broken through to the fourth level. In order to suppress the confidence of the younger generation of the Yulong Duan family, they would carve a Dali Duan family name into the hearts of these Yulong Duan family disciples.
An impression that can never be matched or surpassed, thus it can never pose a threat to the status of the Duan family in Dali.
Among the younger disciples of the Duan family in Dali, Duan Jianqiang's martial arts aptitude is slightly inferior to Duan Jiankui, the grandson of the patriarch, and his current strength is also slightly inferior to Duan Jiankui. Of course, this is completely acceptable to the always proud Duan Jiankui.
After all, Duan Jiankui was basically designated as one of the heirs of the clan leader as soon as he was born. After he was diagnosed with extremely good bones, it is normal for him to be skewed in terms of resources.
However, as a branch of the Yulong Duan clan, it was actually said that there was a certain Duan Hucheng whose martial arts skills and enlightenment were higher than Duan Jianqiang's, similar to Duan Jiankui, but this was unacceptable to the proud Duan Jianqiang.
His grandfather Duan Qiliang was an innate master who was once praised as the backbone of the Duan family in Dali by the noble ancestors. How could a descendant of a mere branch who was not a descendant of the clan leader be compared with him?
But later, I heard that Duan Hucheng was seriously injured in an accident and his vitality was severely damaged. Therefore, although his internal strength level had broken through the fourth level, he was still stuck in the early stage of the fourth level and could not advance. Duan Jianqiang couldn't help it.
He sneered, and his heart gradually became more balanced.
Therefore, on the way here, Duan Jianqiang had already thought about how he and Duan Jianyang could use his own peak fourth-level cultivation to show off and ridicule Duan Hucheng.
But he never thought that when he arrived last night, Duan Jianqiang was extremely surprised to find that in his eyes, Duan Hucheng, who had lost his sharp claws and teeth and was no longer worthy of being a competitor, suddenly became
The peak of the fourth level, with the same cultivation level as myself, is completely inconsistent with the information obtained!
Feeling angry and annoyed, Duan Jianqiang had no choice but to temporarily put down the idea of attacking Duan Hucheng.
Duan Hucheng's understanding of martial arts is one point higher than that of Duan Jianqiang. If the cultivation levels are not equal, Duan Jianqiang is still confident that he can suppress Duan Hucheng, but since their cultivation levels are the same...he, Duan Jianqiang, is the same after all.
The disciples of the Duan family in Dali have a distinguished status, so there is no need to take this risk anymore!
Therefore, he changed his target to Duan Hujun, who was slightly weaker.
This is the eldest grandson of the patriarch of the Yulong Duan clan! Bullying him will give him a great sense of accomplishment!
Of course, there are also hints from Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong.
Among the team that came this time, only Duan Qiliang and Duan Chengchong were innate masters. They originally thought they could stabilize the Yulong Duan family, but after everyone arrived, they discovered that the night before, they had reached the age of ninety and were in the core group of the Duan family in Dali.
In the eyes of others, Duan Haiming, who would never be able to break through to the innate realm, unexpectedly surpassed everyone's expectations, accidentally passed the most dangerous pass, and was successfully promoted to an innate master.
In this way, Duan Haiming and Luo Han are two people with the same level and equal number as the innate masters from the Duan family in Dali. Once there is a conflict, although Duan Qiliang is confident that he can win, it will definitely take a lot of effort.
, it is better to let the younger generation take the blame. Even if it goes too far, it can be excused as "young people are not sensible".
