Nangong Aotian followed the maid Hong'er and walked into a living room. The living room was about sixty square meters and was very luxuriously decorated.
At this time, Nangong Haoran and Yilin watched Nangong Aotian put everything away. Nangong Haoran then said, "Today is our Aotian's big day, so we can't be careless. Let's go to eat first, and then go to the square to take a look.
Our precious son is suitable for cultivating that type of fighting spirit."
"Look at how anxious you are, it's still early." Yilin said with a chuckle at this time, "Our Aotian looks different from ordinary children. We definitely have no talent. Besides, it's just a test attribute, so why bother?
So anxious. Let’s eat first, don’t let my precious son go hungry.”
As he spoke, he walked forward and picked up Nangong Aotian. He walked towards the dining room. Nangong Haoran followed him with a smile.
Seeing that it was already three o'clock in the morning, Nangong Haoran looked at Yilin who was still telling a story to his son, and said helplessly, "Okay, it's getting late. I think we'd better hurry up. The test is probably over by now."
here we go."
"Okay, let's go now, let's go." As she said that, Yilin picked up Nangong Aotian and followed Nangong Haoran towards the square.
In fact, Nangong Aotian doesn't like listening to children's stories very much. After all, he is already in his twenties now, and he still has a special IQ. But this kind of family warmth and parental love feel, he really
Not much experience.
Although his parents loved him very much in his previous life, they were taken away by the country when he was young. He only spent three or four days with his family a year. And because of his intelligence and talent at that time, he was taken away by the country as early as three years old.
When he was just a little bit young, he was already favored by the country. Because he was too young, he was not picked up. At that time, his parents were concerned about his future. Although they loved him very much, they were also a little strict.
.
Not long after, Nangong Haoran arrived at a large square with his family.
At this time, three to four hundred people had already gathered in the square, and it looked very lively.
In front of the square, there is a large stone platform with a height of 1.5 meters. The surface is very smooth, and it is not an ordinary stone at first glance. The stone platform is about 600 to 700 square meters. There are several rows of seats facing it, and the front row is of course the most important person in the family.
The position of the character.
Nangong Haoran took his family and maid to an empty seat in the second row and sat down, waiting for the upcoming test.
At this time, Nangong Lie walked onto the stage. Several servants behind him quickly moved nine large tables. Then nine strong men in their thirties each walked to the stage holding a basketball-sized test crystal ball.
On the table, he placed the crystal ball on the stand that had already been placed on the table.
At this time, Nangong Lie said, "Today is the day for our Nangong family to test the attributes of warriors and the growth of the younger generation. First, we will start testing the five-year-old children who will become martial artists. Those who read their names will come here immediately to test their attributes.
test.”
After some simple words, first of all, the name that came to mind was Nangong Xiaojiao. She was also a disciple who had just turned five years old.
"This is your sister. She is four months older than you. She is the youngest daughter of your uncle Nangong Xiong." Seeing her son curiously looking at the little girl walking on the stage, Yilin introduced Nangong Aotian with a smile.
arrive.
The test is very simple, that is, you put your hands on the nine crystal balls representing nine attributes on the stage. As long as the crystal balls light up, it means that you can cultivate the fighting spirit of that attribute.
The second one is Nangong Aotian's turn.
Following Nangong Xiaojiao's example, Nangong Aotian walked onto the stage, put his hand on the first crystal ball, and then closed his eyes to feel the characteristics of metallic fighting spirit. The crystal ball representing metallic fighting spirit did not
Light up.
I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I thought to myself: I don’t have any attributes and I can’t cultivate them. That would be bad.
But when he tested the fire attribute, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fiery red light emitted from the crystal ball.
Feeling much more relaxed, Nangong Aotian tested all the attributes in one go. There are two attributes suitable for him, water attribute and fire attribute.
"Haha, Aotian, you have to think carefully and see which attribute of fighting spirit you most want to cultivate." Nangong Lie came over and said at this time.
"Grandpa, can't the two kinds of cultivation be practiced together?" Nangong Aotian asked doubtfully.
"If the attributes you test are mutually reinforcing, then you can practice two kinds of fighting qi, one is the main one and the other is supplementary. However, your test results show that the two attributes of fighting qi you can cultivate are incompatible, so you cannot practice them together.
, this progress will be very slow. There may be unexpected dangers later." Nangong Lie explained.
"Oh, I understand, grandpa." Nangong Aotian said, but he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Nangong Lie didn't say anything more and continued the test below.
There were not many children taking part in the five-year-old talent attribute test, only five of them. It was over quickly.
Next, there is a test of the strength growth of martial cultivators at each level. Of course, the test is only limited to those under the age of twenty-five. It is not divided according to age, but according to rank.
The rank test is actually a martial arts competition. It looks at the coordination and understanding of fighting spirit and fighting skills in the same rank.
The first people to compete on the stage were two martial practitioners in their early twenties from the side lineage. One was a fourth-level warrior, and the other was a seventh-level warrior.
Although the fourth level is two levels lower than the seventh level, if the combination of fighting spirit and fighting skills is in place, and the ability to comprehend fighting skills is strong, these gaps can be made up. Generally, below the master level, between the same levels
The gap is not very big. But the higher the level, the bigger the gap becomes.
Even if the level difference between two masters is only one level, without advanced fighting skills and understanding, the gap will be irreparable. At the king level or higher, the gap between levels becomes even wider.
.
While watching the heated battle on the stage, Nangong Aotian listened to his father explain to himself the characteristics and rank divisions between the attributes of fighting spirit and fighting skills, as well as some fighting skills comprehension skills and fighting spirit training techniques. Finally,
This gave Nangong Aotian a preliminary understanding of the practice of fighting qi and fighting skills.
Since there were not many young disciples, there were quite a few competitions. There were twenty matches involving forty people, and it was not until seven o'clock in the afternoon that the competition came to an end.
After passing the competition, the growth of each martial artist in one year is compared with the previous year. There is a reward in the family for the top ten disciples with the fastest growth. The reward is that they can choose the Xuan-level elementary skills in the family martial arts pavilion.
Or one of the primary fighting qi of the Xuan level.
This kind of reward is indeed very attractive, especially for the disciples of the collateral lineage. With this opportunity, they may be able to stand out one day. After all, for ordinary people, Xuan level skills are extremely difficult to obtain.
. And if you want to continue to make progress after breaking through to a martial arts master, the fighting spirit you need to practice must be at least a high-level yellow level, otherwise the progress will be very slow. And the fighting skills of a higher level will of course be much more powerful.
The top ten were determined. Nangong Lie announced on the stage, "Everyone goes back to rest today. Tomorrow will be our most important disciple selection competition of the year. You can challenge beyond the next level. The minimum age of the disciples who can participate in the challenge is fifteen."
The maximum age must not exceed twenty-five years old. The first place will receive a Xuan-level advanced fighting skill and a Xuan-level advanced martial art. The second place will receive a Xuan-level intermediate fighting skill and the corresponding martial arts. The third place can
I hope you all can prepare well when you get low-level fighting skills or exercises at the Xuan level."
"Father, tomorrow's competition will be exciting, right?" Nangong Aotian looked at Nangong Haoran and asked seriously.
"Of course, this is a very high reward." Nangong Haoran couldn't help but smile and said, "Back then, I got the first place and had the opportunity to practice Xuan level advanced fighting skills and techniques."
"If tomorrow's top three are the same as today's top ten, can I receive the reward twice?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"Haha, that won't work. If anyone gets the ranking tomorrow, today's reward will be cancelled. After all, with higher-level fighting skills and fighting skills, low-level skills are naturally no longer needed.
But you can still choose a fighting skill."
"Is there anyone who has been number one for several years in a row?" Nangong Aotian couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it said that the higher the talent, the faster the cultivation speed?"
"Haha, of course there is. However, the higher the level of cultivation, the greater the gap in cultivation level, and the talent is not very obvious in the early stages of cultivation. As long as you work hard, the gap is not very huge. However, if you get the top three in a row
There are still some. One of them is called Nangong Hong, the son of your second uncle Nangong Han. Haha, he is the most talented among the younger generation in our family. He is only twenty-two years old this year. I remember he was ranked third the year before last.
He was number one last year, and I think he will be number one this year." Nangong Haoran said with emotion.
"Then what state of cultivation has he reached now?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"Haha, last year I was a warrior at the eighth level, and this year I guess I have reached the peak of the ninth level." Nangong Haoran said.
"Is it possible to break through to the martial arts master?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"This possibility is very small. To break through the bottleneck, each level is more difficult than the next. If he really breaks through to the master level, he will not be able to participate in the competition. The gap between martial arts masters and warriors is very huge, even if
The difference is only one level." Nangong Haoran couldn't help but say.
"What a pity. Wouldn't he get no reward?" Nangong Aotian couldn't help but ask, "This is unfair."
"Haha, how can the family not value such a genius?" Nangong Haoran said with a smile, "If that's true, he can choose a low-level martial arts or technique in the martial arts pavilion. You know, like that
The martial arts are already the highest level in our family, and there are not many in our collection. There are only one or two types of fighting spirit and martial arts of one attribute."
"So that's it." Nangong Aotian couldn't help but say.
Thinking about it, this is indeed a very good incentive system. Even direct descendants cannot get it through connections, which is indeed very fair.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will take you for a walk on the street today." Nangong Haoran seemed to be in a good mood. "Yilin, you go back first."
"You guys come back early, we'll have dinner soon." Yilin didn't say much. She turned around and left with the maid.
"Aotian, have you thought about what kind of fighting spirit and fighting skills you want to learn?" Nangong Haoran picked up Nangong Aotian and asked as he walked slowly.
"I don't know either, but I want to learn both." Nangong Aotian couldn't help but say.
"Hahaha, how can that work? More is not as good as fineness, not to mention your two attributes are incompatible with each other. I'm afraid it's impossible to practice together." Nangong Haoran couldn't help but frowned and said.
"Is there no solution?" Nangong Aotian asked stubbornly.
"No." Nangong Haoran said without hesitation, "Actually, practicing one kind is much better than practicing two. After all, people's energy is limited, do you understand?"
"Which one is better, water-based or fire-based fighting spirit?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"When it comes to power, it's actually pretty much the same." Nangong Haoran finally felt relieved when he heard that Nangong Aotian no longer thought about cultivating two attributes of fighting spirit at the same time.
At this time, unknowingly, Nangong Haoran had reached the busiest section of Baker City. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to turn around and go back.
At this moment, suddenly, Nangong Haoran froze all over and could not move. It seemed that his whole body was controlled by a force. He was shocked, "This, is this a special skill of space solidification that is only available to the strong warriors?"
"
Before he came back to his senses, he felt the figure in front of him flicker, and his arms suddenly relaxed, and then the power of space solidification disappeared. Nangong Haoran also immediately regained his freedom. But at this time, Nangong Aotian he was holding disappeared.
Gone.
I just felt dizzy. I tried not to fall down immediately. "Who is this? It is obvious that this person is at least a martial artist. There is no such person in Baker City. Besides, I have never offended such a strong person."
Ah. But what should we do?"
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. He quickly ran towards home.
