The black belly is too fierce

Chapter 1305 Not even qualified to participate

Walking into the hall of the Huo family, I saw several elders sitting in the hall. The old man sitting on the top had gray hair and wrinkled face. Although he looked haggard and thin, he had a pair of brown eyes sunken deep in the eye sockets. , but revealing a sharp light, just by visual inspection, this person should be about seventy years old.

Sitting below him are two middle-aged men. Although they are younger, they are not as imposing as the old man, but their appearance and facial features are very similar to those of the old man. They are sitting upright at the moment, looking a little serious.

Sitting opposite them was a young man in a white robe. He looked like he was in his 20s, and he was much more mature than Huo Mingyu. His facial features appeared cold and resolute, and his gaze was extraordinarily arrogant and indifferent.

As soon as Huo Mingyu walked into the hall, before he had time to salute, the white-haired old man at the top slammed his fist on the table, making a loud noise, and then shouted fiercely, "You bastard, don't stay here Alchemy at home, where did you go!"

The angry scolding made Xiahou Wanxuan and the others who walked in tremble, and their complexions turned pale.

However, before they could recover, Huo Mingyu retorted unhappily, "Our Huo family has long been disqualified from participating in the competition. No matter how hard I practice, it won't help! You should give up your mind as soon as possible."

Hearing what he said, the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and cursed again, "You bastard, you have the nerve to say it! If it weren't for your useless thing, why would our Huo family not even be eligible for the competition!"

"I'm not good at alchemy. If you force me however you want, I'll look like this! If you want the Huo family to regain their qualifications for the competition, you should pin your hopes on the second brother!" Huo Mingyu roared back angrily. , didn't care about etiquette and seniority at all, it looked like he had been oppressed for a long time, and he hated these people in the hall to the bone.

Seeing him so presumptuous, the white-haired old man was trembling with anger, his eyes were gnashing his teeth and he couldn't breathe. The middle-aged man in the navy blue robe below saw that the old man was very angry and looked embarrassed, so he quickly smoothed things over, " Father, Mingyu is still young and ignorant, the more pressure he puts on him, the more he will resist, alchemy can only be cultivated slowly, not in a hurry."

Huo Mingyu and the middle-aged man who spoke were very similar in appearance. Hearing his tone, he also meant to defend him and help intercede. Su Moliang guessed that this person should be Huo Mingyu's biological father.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, a relatively burly middle-aged man in a blue brocade robe sitting next to him snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Second brother, you can't say that, since my son died , our Huo family has not been qualified for the competition for several years, and the current Huo family is getting worse day by day. If this continues, the Huo family will lose sooner or later! Therefore, our time is running out. But it's over!"

"Since Uncle knows that time is running out, he should let the second brother hurry up and practice, why bother to pin his hopes on me, a waste." Huo Mingyu was full of dissatisfaction, puffing his eyes and humming heavily.

Hearing this, the man who was called uncle frowned angrily, and also cursed, "You bastard, the elders taught you, you still dare to talk back! If your second brother had the slightest talent in alchemy, I would have let him do alchemy a long time ago, no matter what!" It can't be your turn to this trash!"

"I don't have alchemy talent either. After practicing for so many years, I have only reached the level of a mid-term alchemist. I can't even meet the minimum requirements for participating in the competition. How do you let me revive the Huo family!" Huo Mingyu thought that he had worked very hard. , He also put in a lot of effort for the Huo family, but he has no talent, no matter how hard he works, even if he is forced to death, he will not be able to meet the requirements of the competition.

What's more, this Huo family has never regarded him as a human being. When the eldest brother was there before, he was almost a transparent person. Except for his biological parents, everyone in the family treated him coldly. After the eldest brother was killed, they started to pay attention to him, only because the whole Huo family, except for the eldest brother, was the only one who could make alchemy. Although his talent was not strong, he was at least an alchemist.

Therefore, the Huo family took him as a tool to revitalize the family, and wanted to train him into a powerful alchemist, win the ranking in the competition, and bring the Huo family members into the Immortal Lake to practice.

However, ideals are full and reality is very skinny. The more you desire something, the more it backfires.

He is not an alchemist material, no matter how they beat him, scold him, shut him up, he still can't meet the competition requirements!

The young man in white robe who was sitting on the side heard Huo Mingyu turning the conversation to himself, his eyebrows were slightly drawn, and a sharp cold light shot out from his eyes, and he said lightly, "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to help your second brother, it's just that I detected it, It's true that you don't have any mental strength at all, so there's no way you can be as lucky as you to become an alchemist! Therefore, the Huo family's burden is only for you to work hard."

"What is he working so hard for? All these years, among the younger generation in Nether City, you have always stood up. If it weren't for you, our Huo family would have been scolded as having no successors! Although you have no spiritual power, but Anyway, you have outstanding spiritual power, so you won't be so helpless like him!" The old man of the Huo family retorted disapprovingly when he heard the words of the white-robed young man, and his preference for the white-robed young man could be heard between the lines.

Although the profession of alchemist is very popular and honorable, it must be an alchemist who can refine elixirs to be honorable. Like Huo Mingyu, who can at most refine some lowest-level elixirs, and does not even qualify for the competition Teacher, there is really no way to make people respect you.

Hearing this, the white-robed man cast a cold glance at Huo Mingyu, the contempt and complacency in his pupils was fleeting, although it was quickly caught by Su Moliang.

It seems that this Huo Mingyu's second elder brother speaks nicely, but in his heart he also extremely despises Huo Mingyu.

"Father, it's my incompetence in teaching that makes Mingyu so lazy. I will strengthen his training in the future and try not to let my father down!" The man in navy blue clothes had a particularly ugly expression, as if he felt sorry for his son being caught in public. He reprimanded and humiliated him, so he took responsibility for himself, and planned to calm Mr. Huo's anger temporarily.

But the old man above obviously didn't like this, and with a stern face, he roared angrily, "Huh, strengthen training? Not only did you not strengthen his training, but also let him run out to play, how did you become a father! Seeing It's going to be the alchemy contest again soon, our Huo family can only watch other families grow stronger, suffer from blind eyes and humiliation, we have tasted that kind of feeling for several years, do you still want to endure this!"
