"Wang Zhan, come over and eat." A gentle voice broke the silence of the evening.
"Aunty Mei, you guys eat this first. I still have to continue cultivating for a while.”Immediately after, a voice came from an empty space not far away.
"Then hurry up, or the food will get cold.”Just as Wang Zhan was about to continue cultivating, another voice that was different from before sounded.
"Alright!" Wang Zhan no longer hesitated this time. He could not afford to offend this little ancestor. After saying that, he walked towards a small house not far away.
Wang Zhan was picked up by Qin Xiaotian one night ten years ago. Other than a dragon-shaped jade pendant with his name written on it, there was nothing else that indicated his identity. At that time, due to the bad weather, his breathing was already very weak. Fortunately, Qin Xiao Tian had taken out the Red Sun Grass to treat his illness, allowing him to escape from the hands of the Grim Reaper and let him stay in their house. Wang Zhan had always been very grateful for this matter.
When he walked into the house, the three people in the house were already waiting for him at the dining table. Chen Ming rubbed his head in embarrassment and smiled as he walked to the only seat left.
"Brother, how's your cultivation?" Suddenly, the little girl beside him asked.
Hearing this, Wang Zhan also shook his head. "I don't know why, but I've been stuck at Tempered Body Stage Level Three. No matter how hard I cultivate, I can't advance at all.”However, he turned to the little girl and smiled."As for you, Qin Yu, you should have already broken through to the fifth layer of Body Tempering, right? Even in the entire clan, you're a top existence.”
"Brother, don't be discouraged. You've been cultivating so hard, so it's only a matter of time before you enter Tempered Body Stage Five.”Qin Yu also comforted him. Tomorrow is the realm test. Brother, have a good rest today and strive to get a good result tomorrow.
" Realm?" Wang Zhan shook his head. This realm test was a major event in the clan and would be held every year. Not only that, but the resources for the next year were also distributed according to the level of this realm. If it was five years ago, Wang Zhan would still be regarded as a proud existence. Everyone would say that Qin Xiaotian had really picked up a good son this time. There was an endless stream of visitors.
However, reality was cruel. After reaching Tempered Body Level Three, Wang Zhan's realm began to stagnate. Now that five years had passed, no matter how hard he cultivated, there was no progress in his realm. The people who had visited him before had already drawn a clear line between them. No matter how they tested it, it would only be a joke for them.
Seeing that Wang Zhan did not speak anymore, Qin Yu did not know how to comfort him either. The dinner ended hastily in such an atmosphere.
Wang Zhan returned to his room. Without a moment of rest, he began to cultivate again. One had to know that the first three layers of Body Tempering could only be considered as an initial stage. After Body Tempering Stage Four, one would be able to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Only then would one be considered to have truly stepped into the threshold of martial arts. He knew that at the later stage of Body Tempering, the first wisp of spiritual energy would enter his body before he could enter the realm of Qi Absorption. Only then could he truly step into the martial path.
However, it was not an easy task to absorb Qi. Many people stopped at the Body Tempering stage because they could not sense Spiritual Energy. In the end, they also ended up in a depressed state.
Wang Zhan cultivated for an entire night. It was not until the next day, when Qin Yu's voice reached his ears, that he stopped cultivating. He estimated that it was about time. Although he did not want to go, he could not persuade Qin Yu and followed her to the main hall of the clan.
The Qin family was considered a prestigious family in Qingshan Town. Many of the businesses in the town belonged to them. In the entire town, other than the Tyrannical Sect and the Chen family on the east side of the town, no other forces could compare to them. Therefore, this stage test attracted many outsiders to come and watch.
When Wang Zhan and Qin Yu arrived at the clan's main hall, it was already surrounded so tightly that not even water could leak out. Wang Zhan and the others used a lot of strength to squeeze in. However, as soon as he entered, a voice sounded,"Yo, Xiao Yu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Isn't this the great genius Wang Zhan? Why, is he still preparing to fight for the last place in tempered body third layer this year? Hahaha."
Immediately after, a figure that he hated appeared in front of him-Qin Lang, a disciple of the Qin Sect who had already stepped into the tempered body fourth layer. He had always been brooding over Wang Zhan's previous glory. Therefore, after Wang Zhan fell from grace, he always came to provoke him intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Zhan was already used to this matter. However, Qin Yu, who was at the side, could not stand such anger.："I'll give you three seconds to apologize to my brother. Otherwise,"
"What else can you do? I'm already at Tempered Body Stage Level Four, do you think you can defeat me?”Before Qin Yu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Qin Lang.
"You said it yourself!" Qin Yu finally couldn't hold it in anymore and sent a palm towards Qin Lang. Qin Lang did not panic at all. He also struck out with his palm and went head-to-head with Qin Yu. A fourteen-year-old Body Tempering Stage Four was indeed enough for him to be proud of. However, he soon began to panic because he could clearly feel that the fist wind coming from Qin Yu's palm was not something he could withstand. He had only seen that kind of power from one person. That was the number one genius of the clan, Qin Ming. Qin Ming was an existence who had long stepped into the tempered body fifth layer, and was probably only a step away from the tempered body sixth layer.
"You've already reached Body Tempering Stage Five!”Qin Lang also instantly understood and shouted. He also began to prepare to retract the palm that he had already struck out. However, it was already too late. Seeing that Qin Yu's palm was getting closer and closer to him, he could even hear the sound of the palm wind brushing past his ears.
"I didn't expect to kick an iron plate today.”This was the only thought on Qin Lang's mind. Then, he resigned himself to fate and closed his eyes. However, the palm did not land on his body. He slowly opened his eyes and found a fist blocking his way. When he saw the person's face clearly, Qin Lang seemed to have found his savior and hid behind him."Brother Ming, save me." In the entire Qin family, only Qin Lang could so easily receive a palm strike from a tempered body fifth layer.
When Qin Yu saw the person who came, a solemn expression also surfaced on her face. This person's strength was already far above his. Now, it would be extremely difficult to get Qin Lang to apologize.
"Don't you guys know what day it is today? It's not proper to have a competition in the main hall of the Qin Clan. Do you want outsiders to laugh at our Qin Clan? If you want to compete, then wait until the clan competition half a year later.”Qin Ming also said to Wang Zhan. These words seemed to be protecting the Qin family's face, but in fact, Wang Zhan, Qin Yu, and the others were well aware that this was just to protect his younger brother, Qin Lang.
But this time, Wang Zhan could not stand it anymore. Qin Yu could say whatever she wanted, but she could not let others say anything.
"Using the name of the clan to do this selfish thing, the Qin family really has a good disciple.”Wang Zhan also took a step forward. Of course, Qin Yu knew that her brother wanted to stand up for her, but now was obviously not the time. Moreover, the person opposite her was a genuine tempered body fifth layer.
Qin Ming was obviously shocked when he heard Wang Zhan's words, but he immediately laughed loudly and said,"Hahaha, it's been a long time since someone dared to speak to me like this. If Qin Yu is the reason you have such unbridled courage, then let me tell you, you will die a miserable death.”After saying that, his eyes began to turn cold."You better pray that you don't meet me in this Family Competition. When the time comes, it won't be as simple as what you said today.”The threat in his words was obvious.
When Qin Yu saw the situation, she was also prepared to apologize to Qin Ming on Wang Zhan's behalf. However, Wang Zhan stopped her. Qin Yu was his bottom line. No matter what others said about him, if they dared to say anything bad about Qin Yu, he would definitely not let it go. Although his cultivation had stopped at a standstill, he would not let them gain much advantage.
"The family competition is already half a year later. Do you think that by then, you will still be the number one person of the Qin family?”Wang Zhan was not willing to be outdone.
"Hahaha, tempered body third layer in five years, do you expect to reach tempered body sixth layer in half a year?”Then, he pointed at Qin Yu and said,"Could it be that you're talking about her?" Qin Yu's foundation is not bad. She was originally a little threatening to me, but because of you, a big hole that can't be filled, she's nothing to be afraid of! Hahaha." After another round of mocking, Qin Ming turned around and left with Qin Lang.
Seeing Qin Ming leave, Wang Zhan secretly clenched his fists." It was all because his strength was too low. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on Qin Yu to stand up. It really did not make sense.
When Qin Yu saw that Wang Zhan had fallen silent, she knew that this matter had a considerable impact on him. She comforted him,"It's okay, Big Brother Zhan. I believe that you will definitely become the most powerful existence in the Qin family. I will always stand on your side.”
Seeing this, Wang Zhan quickly adjusted his condition. Although cultivation was not easy, if he persevered, he would one day be able to cross the threshold of Tempered Body Stage Four. Wang Zhan didn't hesitate to bring Qin Ming to the center of the main hall.
In the center of the main hall, there was a tall stone tablet. A faint blue light enveloped the stone tablet. It was the Spirit Testing Stone. At this moment, the spirit testing stone was already surrounded. On both sides of the stone tablet stood the young talents of the Qin family's younger generation. They could not wait to show off the results of their cultivation for the past year.
After waiting for a moment, a figure finally entered the main hall. Be it the audience or the clan disciples, everyone fell silent. Soon after, a middle-aged man slowly sat down on a chair in the main hall. A thick aura flowed out of his body. It was obvious that he was only at the late stage of the Receival Realm. The person who came was the head of the Qin Clan, Qin Feng!
Qin Feng's gaze swept across the hall. After which, he slowly said,
"The Spirit Testing Conference begins now!"
