Bloodline Ares

Chapter 21
"Jade bones, golden blood", this is the only way for Xia Chen to cultivate a flawless body.

The eighth level of body training is mainly to temper the bones, so the "jade bones" must be successfully tempered during the eighth level of body training.As Xia Chen tempered his bones almost every day, and the Jiang family sent a steady stream of body training resources, Xia Chen's strength was improving almost every day.

The speed of his Tianyan Nine Exercises is even more astonishingly fast. In a few days, he has practiced it seven times, only two times away, and he is done, reaching the peak of the eighth level of body training.

And his bones, emitting crystal clear jade light, seem to be getting more and more prosperous, and it seems that they will really become "jade bones". Xia Chen can feel the terrifying power contained in the "jade bones".

"Buff... breathe, breathe... breathe!"

Xia Chen stood in the courtyard, every breath he took was like pulling a bellows, making a lot of noise, even in the courtyard, along with his breathing, a whirlwind was formed.

"Master Xia Chen."

Suddenly, the voice of the guards outside the courtyard sounded, and Xia Chen also woke up from his practice.

"what's up?"

"Master Xia Chen, the patriarch has invited you to the meeting hall to receive Miss Lin."

"Miss Lin? Lin Meier?"

Xia Chen immediately thought of Lin Meier. For so long, there was no movement from the Lin family. Today is finally here, and Xia Chen has already made preparations. He knows that this day will come sooner or later.

"Wait for me to change my clothes."

Xia Chen returned to the room, changed into another room, followed the guards calmly, and walked towards the meeting hall.

*****
In the conference hall, when Xia Chen walked in, several eyes immediately fixed on Xia Chen.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This time, among the people from the Lin family, there was indeed Lin Meier, but at this moment, Lin Meier had changed into a new attire, she looked very decent, and she didn't show any domineering expression. The last time I met Lin Meier, Xia Chen probably really thought that the outside rumors were wrong.

Beside Lin Meier, there was an old man with a goatee, and his body was also very strong. He seemed to be a strong man of the ninth level of body training, an elder of the Lin family.

However, what caught Xia Chen's attention the most was a young man in his twenties, sitting on a chair with a blank expression on his face.The whole body is full of qi and blood, even if it is just sitting there, it makes people feel like a big mountain, and it makes people feel huge pressure.

Xia Chen stayed in the Lianyun Mountain Range for a while, and he looked at this young man very vigilantly. In his eyes, this man was even more terrifying than those first-order monsters in the Lianyun Mountain Range .

"Patriarch!"

Xia Chen took a deep breath, and after calming down, he saluted his clan, Jiang Zhiyuan.

"It's Xia Chen, come here, I have met the elders of the Lin family." Jiang Zhiyuan pointed to the old man and said.This old man was indeed an elder of the Lin family, Xia Chen also saluted slightly, and then stood aside.

"Nephew Xia Chen is really handsome, Patriarch Jiang, your Jiang family has produced a great genius! This time we are here to discuss with Patriarch Jiang and agree on a specific time for the marriage between Meier and Xia Chen." Given it. It can also show the close relationship between our two families to outsiders."

The elders of the Lin family said with a smile that the purpose of their visit was indeed to make an engagement.When Xia Chen looked at Lin Meier, he found a trace of complacency in Lin Meier's eyes, and it seemed that Lin Meier was responsible for this.

Just as Xia Chen was thinking about countermeasures, Jiang Zhiyuan was actually thinking about countermeasures too.After being reminded by the old patriarch, Jiang Zhiyuan knew that a woman like Lin Meier should never be allowed to marry Xia Chen.

But if he refuses, he will definitely offend the Lin family. This seems to have become a dilemma, but he has to choose. Fortunately, the old patriarch is sure to attack the cyclone. deal with.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Our Jiang family has decided to send Xia Chen to participate in the assessment of Dongtian Pavilion, which is related to Xia Chen's future, so I am afraid that this marriage It has to be postponed later. Besides, Xia Chen is still young, so he is not in a hurry."

After Jiang Zhiyuan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the Lin family changed suddenly.

"Patriarch Jiang, what do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word?"

The tone of the elders of the Lin family immediately became hostile.

"How can we go back on our friendship with Jiang and Lin for generations? It is true that Xia Chen is going to the Dongtian Pavilion. In order for him to practice with peace of mind, he had to postpone it for a while. How can it be said that he is going back on his word?"

Jiang Zhiyuan had already made up his mind, that is, to use the word "drag" to maximize the performance and make the Lin family angry.

Everyone in the Lin family obviously guessed Jiang Zhiyuan's plan, all of them had gloomy expressions, especially Lin Meier, who gritted her teeth tightly and managed to restrain herself from attacking.

"Patriarch Jiang, if Xia Chen doesn't leave Dongtian Pavilion, then this marriage will not be settled for a day?"

"Theoretically it's like this..."

Jiang Zhiyuan also said in a rather helpless tone.

"Snapped".

The elders of the Lin family slammed the armrest of the chair, making a crisp sound.

"Okay, what a Jiang family! Back-and-forth, my daughter of the Lin family has not reached the point where I can't get married, so leave!"

The elders of the Lin family were furious and stood up immediately to leave.

Jiang Zhiyuan also let out a long sigh, it seemed inevitable that he would turn against the Lin family.

Everyone in the Lin family was about to leave angrily, but sitting on the chair, the young man who looked like an old monk in meditation did not have the slightest intention of leaving, and remained calmly sitting on the chair without moving.

"Huh? Hongwu, hurry up!"

Although the elders of the Lin family were furious, they seemed to be very restrained towards the young man and said softly.

"Lin Hongwu? A martial idiot from the Lin family?"

Hearing the name "Lin Hongwu", even the majestic patriarch Jiang Zhiyuan's expression changed drastically, and he stared closely at this unattractive man.

"Swish".

Lin Hongwu opened his eyes. These were extremely indifferent eyes. There seemed to be no emotion in his eyes.

"Xia Chen, I heard that you defeated Ye Tianxuan. When I returned to the Lin family this time, I wanted to try Ye Tianji, but he stayed in Dongtian Pavilion and did not come back. But since you can defeat Ye Tianxuan, you must not be weak. I'm looking for you, come on, fight, life or death!"

From Lin Hongwu's eyes, Xia Chen saw a hint of madness. This is simply a lunatic who is about to challenge him out of nowhere, and he doesn't care about life or death.

"I will not participate in meaningless battles."

Xia Chen resolutely refused. Although he was not afraid of fighting, he didn't want to fight casually, especially in meaningless battles. Even if he won, what would he gain?
"Oh? You refused? The people here are all people close to you, hehe, these people are really weak, much weaker than those monsters I met in the jungle, maybe even I can bear a punch Sorry."

Lin Hongwu's eyes swept across the members of the Jiang family in the conference hall, and he actually threatened directly. Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and he felt a trace of killing intent from Lin Hongwu. This guy may be really crazy, he can do what he says .

"Presumptuous! Where do you think this is? Lin Hongwu, I heard that you can fight first-order peak monsters in the four-star forbidden blood forest, but you really don't take my Jiang family seriously?"

Jiang Zhiyuan sneered coldly, and the huge power of Qi and blood radiated from his body. As the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhiyuan was already a copper-skinned and iron-framed existence, and his strength was even more astonishing.

"Copper-skinned and iron-skinned? That's right. I fought and killed first-order peak monsters in the Blood Refining Forest, but I have never fought against a strong man with copper-skinned and iron-skinned bones. The head of the Jiang family, I really want to learn."

Lin Hongwu licked his lips, and the wildness of his body also burst out. He didn't look like a warrior, but more like a ferocious beast in the mountains.

"Hongwu, no!"

Even the angry elders of the Lin family changed their expressions at this time. If there was a conflict in the Jiang family, they would definitely suffer.

"Go away, cowardly waste!"

As soon as Lin Hongwu turned his head, he was murderous, and he didn't pay attention to the elders of the Lin family at all.

Xia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, this Lin Hongwu looked a little abnormal, how could he look like a family member?However, seeing Lin Hongwu like this, Xia Chen also became cautious, and immediately took a step forward, saying in a deep voice, "Okay, I promise you and accept your challenge!"

Afterwards, Xia Chen came to Jiang Zhiyuan's side and said in a low voice, "Patriarch, there seems to be something wrong with this Lin Hongwu."

Jiang Zhiyuan also nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Xia Chen, you must be careful. This Lin Hongwu has a nickname called 'Wu Chi'. He has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and his spirit is a little abnormal. Even for practicing martial arts, He even killed some of the Lin family's children. In the end, even the Lin family couldn't take it anymore, so they simply let him go to the four-star forbidden land to practice in the blood-refined mountain range. This four-star forbidden land is barely qualified to enter the four-star forbidden land. , and it is very easy to die, but he stayed in it for three full years, and he has been able to fight monsters at the peak of the first order. This is a lunatic, you must be careful."

Xia Chen nodded silently. It turns out that Lin Hongwu really has mental problems. He is known as a "Wu Chi". Fighting against a first-order peak monster is comparable to a strong man with copper skin and iron bones.

But Lin Hongwu himself has not cultivated copper-skinned iron bones. Although he is not copper-skinned and iron-skinned, there is no doubt that Lin Hongwu is terrifying. Being able to fight first-order peak monsters is somewhat similar to Xia Chen.

"It's not convenient to fight here, come with me!".

Xia Chen said coldly, and with a flash of his figure, he rushed out of the conference room and rushed towards the martial arts field. Lin Hongwu let out a grin, and naturally followed quickly.

"Lin Hongwu, you..."

The elders of the Lin family were "reviled" by Lin Hongwu just now, and they felt a little embarrassed, but he knew Lin Hongwu's state and still wanted to persuade him, but Lin Meier stopped him.

"Uncle Thirteen, the Jiang family is so rude, you should teach them a lesson. It's not like you don't know Lin Hongwu's temper. No one can stop him. However, although Hongwu has mental problems, he is a real martial idiot. How can Xia Chen, who is at the eighth level of body refining, be able to fight against monsters in the Blood Refining Mountain Range? This time, let Lin Hongwu teach Xia Chen some lessons, and at the same time, teach the Jiang family some lessons!"

A coldness flashed in Lin Meier's eyes. She is a scheming and vengeful woman. Being "rejected" by the Jiang family this time is almost a great shame for her. She has long hated Xia Chen in her heart, and she even yearns for Only by killing Xia Chen in the martial arts competition can Lin Hongwu calm down the anger in her heart.

The elders of the Lin family hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, and then quickly followed out with the people of the Lin family.
