The Land of Gods and Warriors in Another World

Chapter 13 Gathering of the future elite of the family

When Xiong Zhan woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Just after changing her clothes, the little girl broke in, pulling Xiong Zhan to look left and right, looking like a cute curious baby.For a long time, until Xiong Zhan couldn't help laughing out loud, the little girl mysteriously asked him why he was so good at sleeping.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiong Zhan to talk to her about innate qi. It's not that he doesn't trust her, it's just that the little girl is too young to understand this matter at all.At the moment, I made up a reason casually and fooled it.

Just after lunch, Xiong Zhan was dragged out by the little girl.The little girl seemed very excited, and she kept jumping for joy along the way. Whenever she met someone in her family, no matter if she was familiar with them or not, she would always hold her head up and introduce Xiong Zhan with a proud face. Of course, she would definitely declare that she was Xiong Zhan at the end. And the only sister Xiong Keke.

Two years ago, Xiong Zhan's abnormal talent caused a storm in West Asia, and there was no one in Xiong's mansion who didn't know him.When everyone heard that Xiong Zhan was on the opposite side, they inevitably had to take a closer look, and when they finally left, they were amazed: Master Xiong Zhan is only eight years old and so big, he is really born with awe.
From the backyard to Guanyu Lake, then to the promenade, and from the promenade to the garden, the two of them walked all over the place where Xiong Keke played. Along the way, the little girl introduced Xiong Zhan endlessly, her pink face flushed. The flushed, jubilant.

With Xiong Zhan's practical mind, he naturally understands the little girl's psychology.This is like a child who gets a beautiful toy and can't help showing it off.

It was a little dark that day, and the two started to go home.On the way back, the little girl still looked like she couldn't finish her taste, and Xiong Zhan looked amused for a while.

When the two returned home, Grandpa Camel was already watching at the door.The little girl's eyes lit up, she ran over quickly, and opened her mouth to ask if the roasted chicken leg was ready.

That night, Xiong Zhan urged the innate qi to flow in his body again.When I woke up at dawn, I felt refreshed.This is of course the reason why the innate qi grows stronger and has an intensified effect on his body.

After breakfast that day, Xiong Keke dragged Xiong Zhan out.Seeing the excited look on the little girl's face, Xiong Zhan thought that Xiong Han would come to pick him up tomorrow, so he didn't know how long it would take.As soon as my heart softened, I followed the little girl.Although he doesn't like being looked at like a monster.

Soon, the time agreed by Xiong Han arrived.

"Brother, how long are you going to go this time!" Xiong Keke looked at Xiong Han outside the door and asked cautiously.For this vicious teacher who came to pick up her elder brother again, the little girl was both shocked and frightened. It has been two years since she went there last time.However, she was scared by Xiong Han last time, so she didn't dare to act coquettishly.

Xiong Zhan didn't know what he was going to do this time, so he couldn't help turning his eyes to Xiong Han.

Xiong Han stood outside the door like a javelin, his stiff poker face moved, and he said coldly: "You can come back before night."

The little girl felt relieved when she heard this, and asked Xiong Zhan to come back early.She originally wanted to go together, but seeing Xiong Han's stiff face, she dared not say anything.

Xiong Zhan followed Xiong Han in front of him to walk around the Xiong Mansion, and from time to time he could see pedestrians pointing at him.After the little girl's two days of showing off, Xiong Zhan's exposure in the mansion has greatly increased, and there are not many people who don't know him.

"Teacher, where are we going this time?" Xiong Zhan asked.Although Xiong Han only taught him for half a day, he still called him his teacher.Because in the previous martial arts world, there was a saying that one day was a teacher and one was a father for life.

Xiong Han's body trembled slightly, he never expected that the other party would call his teacher, and his cold voice seemed a little gentle: "Martial Arts Hall."

"Budodo? What are you doing there?"

"I'll know when I get there." With Xiong Han's temperament, it was not easy to tell the destination.

The two were speechless all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the Martial Arts Hall.Xiong Han in front stopped suddenly.

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded unceremoniously.

"Chief of the Guard, you can go back. Master Xiong Zhan will leave it to me."

Xiong Zhan took a step sideways, and saw a person standing on the vermilion gatepost, dressed in black, with his hands behind his back, his thin body gave a rather calm feeling.This person is Xiong Yan, the head of the Martial Arts Hall.

"It turned out that the head of the Martial Arts Hall came out in person. It seems that today's matter must not be simple." Xiong Zhan was secretly surprised.

As soon as Xiong Zhan moved sideways, Xiong Yan's eyes fell on him, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: "It's been two years since I saw you, but Master Xiong Zhan is so tall. No wonder the clothes prepared by a fool are so much smaller. "

His last sentence was satirizing Xiong Han.As soon as Xiong Han heard it, a chill appeared on his stiff face, and a icy aura gushed out, as if a snow mountain was slowly rising.

Xiong Yan's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Chief of the Guard, is the Great Elder still waiting inside?"

His words were not without a threatening meaning.However, Xiong Han was very useful and quickly withdrew his momentum, let out a cold snort, turned his head and walked away, and walked away in a blink of an eye.

Xiong Zhan was astonished, followed by another burst of astonishment.Xiong Han has a weird personality, he dares to be violent even at the door of the Elder's Hall, why is he so afraid of this Great Elder.

"Master Xiong Zhan, please come in with me." Xiong Yan said respectfully.If it was said that his respect in the past was only due to the patriarch, but now a large part of his respect comes from the heart.All these changes are only because of Xiong Zhan's abnormal talent.In the Shenwu Continent, the strong are respected, even the future strong, others dare not offend easily.

Once entering the gate, there was no one in the huge square.

Xiong Zhan frowned and asked, "Master Xiong, why is there no one here?"

While leading the way, Xiong Yan said: "Every year on this day, the Martial Arts Hall is closed to the public."

"Why?" Xiong Zhan was even more puzzled.

"Because this day is extremely important to the family, all members of the family who are under the age of 16 and have reached the seventh level of martial arts will come to the martial arts hall." When Xiong Yan said this, his voice was a little lost: "It's just that in recent years, there has been Few people can pass the test of the Great Elder."

Under the age of 16, with a cultivation base of level [-] or above!This can already be regarded as extraordinary talent.Xiong Zhan's heart fluctuated, gathering all the talented teenagers in the family, what is the so-called thing?

Before Xiong Zhan had time to ask, Xiong Yan had already stopped in front of a lobby.

"Master Xiong Zhan, the Great Elder is waiting for you inside. Go in by yourself!"

The lobby looks quite old from the outside, the paint has peeled off in many places, and the specifications are a bit small.At first glance, it is incompatible with the magnificent architecture of Budodo.But it reveals a trace of inexplicable majesty, as if it has accumulated the solemnity of a long time.

Facing this unremarkable lobby, with Xiong Zhan's tenacious will, he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, took two deep breaths, and finally gently pushed open the old wooden door.

squeak--

The wooden door was apparently rarely opened, and there was a sound of wood rubbing.

The inside of the lobby is older than the outside, and there is no trace of paint on the wooden pillars at the four corners.The entire lobby is less than [-] square meters, and the floor is hard yellow mud, with no stone slabs.There were nearly [-] people standing neatly in the lobby, all of them were handsome young men, including men and women.

As soon as Xiong Zhan appeared at the door, all the teenagers looked at him.

But Xiong Zhan ignored these gazes, he directly looked at the only person sitting at the top of the lobby.It was an old woman with gray hair. Even if she was sitting, one could tell that she had a broad frame, high cheekbones, a large mouth, and wrinkles all over her face, but a pair of small eyes were shining.

Xiong Zhan couldn't help being taken aback, he never thought that the elder of the family would be an old woman.

"You are Xiong Zhan! Hehe, you are so big at such a young age." The voice of the First Elder was like a piece of iron scraping the bottom of a pot, extremely hoarse and unpleasant, but with an indescribable sense of majesty.

When the teenagers in the lobby heard that it was Xiong Zhan, their eyes immediately changed, and they couldn't help discussing in a low voice.Xiong Zhan's test results two years ago were too perverted, just two years can't dilute people's memory.

At this moment, a cold snort came from the crowd.

Xiong Zhan immediately became alert, looked where the sound came from, and immediately noticed a pair of vicious eyes.

These eyes were full of resentment, Xiong Zhan couldn't help being startled, wondering if this person had hatred with him.Looking at the other party carefully at the moment, this person is about 14 years old, and he is considered relatively young here.He has a strong physique and a handsome face, but the bridge of his nose is sunken, which is obviously weird.

Xiong Feng!

Xiong Zhan recognized this person immediately, but he hasn't changed much in two years.

There was such a saying in the martial arts in the previous life: Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.Xiong Zhan has always followed this sentence before, and after seeing the resentment of the other party, his heart suddenly became murderous, thinking that he must find a chance to kill him in the future.I have no fear of him at all, but if I hurt the little girl, it will be a lifetime.

Suddenly, the Great Elder let out a light cough, and the hall immediately fell silent.

"Xiong Zhan, find a place to stand."

Xiong Zhan responded softly, and when he was at a loss as to where to stand, a smiling fat man in the crowd waved to him.

Xiong Zhan walked over, and was enthusiastically pulled to his side by the fat man.The people next to him couldn't help complaining about this, the fat man stared with small eyes, and those voices immediately disappeared.

"Brother Xiong Zhan, is there any secret to being so tall at the age of eight?" Fatty asked Xiong Zhan in a low voice with a smile on his face.

Is there a secret to being tall?Xiong Zhan looked at him puzzled.

There was a bit of bitterness on the fat man's face, "Look, brother, I'm already fifteen. This is strong, but the light is long in the horizontal direction! How can I pick up girls in the future!"

It was only then that Xiong Zhan realized that this was the case. He took a closer look at the fat man. His body was full of flesh, his shoulders were almost twice as wide as others, and his height was more than two inches shorter than his own, which was indeed a little short.But what is the secret of growing taller!
When Xiong Zhan didn't know how to respond, the elder above let out a cold snort, and the fat man immediately calmed down and stood solemnly.

The Great Elder suddenly stood up. She was much taller than ordinary men, almost 1.9 meters tall.The small eyes flowed over everyone's body, and Xiong Zhan was so shocked that he felt as if he was being seen through.

After a while, the first elder's hoarse voice sounded.

"All of you here are the most talented juniors of the family. You are the future backbone of the family. The lowest cultivation level among you has already reached the seventh level. In the way of martial arts training, the seventh level is an important pass. Before the age of 30, you cannot If you break through, you will never have a chance in your life.”

"When you reach the seventh level, you can absorb the beast soul, and those who succeed will enter the real martial arts. We have gathered you here today to select the outstanding ones from among you again. Those who pass the test will be allowed to enter the beast soul hall to pick and absorb one Enlighten the beast soul."

As soon as they heard this, the crowd became a little commotion.

Seeing Xiong Zhan's bewildered face, the fat man quickly explained in a low voice: "When martial arts reach the seventh level, and the body is strong enough to a certain extent, he will choose to absorb the beast soul, so as to step into the real beast martial arts. The beast soul is to kill the war beast from It was dug out of its brain. The stronger the beast, the stronger the ability contained in its beast soul. The enlightened beast soul is left by a young high-level beast, and the energy contained in it is not weaker than that of an adult The beast soul of a war beast is extremely malleable, very suitable for martial arts to absorb for the first time. Enlightenment beast souls are extremely rare, and sometimes even more expensive than the beast souls of adult high-level war beasts."

Only then did Xiong Zhan understand the Enlightened Beast Soul, and asked again: "Where is the Beast Soul Hall?"

The fat man looked at Xiong Zhan strangely, and was surprised that he didn't know the Beast Soul Hall, "The Beast Soul Hall is a big forbidden place of the family, and no one is allowed to enter it. It houses all the precious beast souls of the family for thousands of years." A greedy look flashed on Fatty's face, "If you steal a few beast souls from it, you will definitely get a fortune if you sell them. At that time, there were beautiful women and delicious food, right? ?”

Xiong Zhan felt contemptuous in his heart, it turned out that this guy was just a greedy and lustful master.

The Great Elder signaled everyone to calm down, and said with a straight face: "It is very dangerous to absorb the enlightened beast soul. Every year, some people die violently because they cannot bear the energy in the beast soul. Therefore, I want to remind you to choose carefully. , After all, everyone has only one life. It is still too late to choose to quit. If you want to give up this opportunity, stand aside, and I don’t want to see you die in vain.”

There was another commotion among the crowd.The benefits of absorbing enlightened beast spirits are obvious, and it can make the future path of martial arts easier.However, everyone has only one life, and if there is no life, there is nothing.

After a while, three men and two women walked out of the crowd one after another, and stood aside with discouraged faces.

"Useless guy." The fat man muttered dissatisfied.

Xiong Zhan also sighed in his heart, knowing that those five people had lost their courage, and they would never be able to go far in the martial arts in the future.

There was no joy or anger on the Great Elder's face, and when no one came out, he let the five people go back first.

The atmosphere in the entire lobby was extremely heavy, as if the air had condensed, and even Xiong Zhan's breathing became a little tight.

The great elder came down from above.The light footsteps became the only sound in the lobby.Everyone realized that the critical moment had arrived, their whole bodies tensed up, and they even forgot to breathe for a moment.

The Great Elder stopped without warning, she was only five steps away from the crowd, suddenly, her little eyes lit up, and a majestic momentum swept out.

boom--

Everyone seemed to hear a loud bang.It was as if a river embankment had collapsed in front of him, and roaring angry water rolled in, violently impacting everyone present.
