In the stone house, An Yufeng, his sister, and his mother sat at a table made of stone. There were three dishes and one soup on the table. The three dishes were all meat dishes, and they were all An Yufeng's favorite dishes. Especially the sweet and sour pork in the middle. It was not only his favorite, but also Xiao Yao's favorite.
Although Xiao Yao and he both liked sweet and sour pork very much, they had no chance to eat it unless it was a major festival. Because for their family, eating meat was really a very luxurious thing.
"Brother, you eat!" Little Yao picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in An Yufeng's bowl, then another piece in the beautiful woman's bowl, and finally another piece in her own bowl. However, she didn't eat it, but stuck out her tongue and gently sweetened the piece of sweet and sour pork. Then, she revealed an intoxicated expression.
"This child, hurry up and eat. There's still a lot in the bowl!”the beautiful woman said gently as she rubbed Little Yao's head.
An Yufeng felt a lump in his throat, and a sense of self-blame and guilt welled up in his heart. If he had the ability, Little Yao and his mother wouldn't have suffered so much. If he had the ability, Xiao Yao and her mother would not have been bullied by the Xiao family. As the only man in the family, he had caused his sister and mother to suffer so much. He was incompetent!
"Brother, hurry up and eat. Look at how thin you are. Eat a few more pieces of sweet and sour meat to nourish your body!”At this moment, Xiao Yao picked up another piece of sweet and sour meat and placed it in An Yufeng's bowl.
"Yeah!" The beautiful woman looked at An Yufeng with heartache and said,""Child, you must have suffered a lot in the Sword Sect.”As she spoke, she also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and placed it in An Yufeng's bowl.
Hearing this, An Yufeng couldn't help but tear up. He picked up his chopsticks and forced a smile. Then, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour meat and started eating.
The beautiful woman smiled when she saw An Yufeng eating, but she didn't eat. She just looked at An Yufeng and then at Little Yao, and her eyes were filled with relief.
After a while, An Yufeng finished the three pieces of sweet and sour pork in his bowl. He raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman and Little Yao. His face was extremely calm, and there were no longer any fluctuations of emotion like before.
"Brother, don't look at Yao 'er like that. Yao' er is a little flustered!”Being stared at by An Yufeng's emotionless eyes, Little Yao was a little afraid and said timidly.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" The beautiful woman hurriedly stood up and asked with concern when she noticed that something was wrong with An Yufeng.
An Yufeng didn't say anything. He only looked deeply at the beautiful woman and Little Yao, then closed his eyes. In the next moment, sword qi swept across the field, and two streams of blood splattered all over the ground. At the same time, An Yufeng felt that the scene in front of him was fragmented and his head was slightly dizzy.
After a few breaths, An Yufeng opened his eyes. Everyone, the exam peak, the blue circle, everything was familiar. An Yufeng took a deep breath and ignored the gazes of the thousands of people. He walked to Elder Qian and cupped his fists at him. Then, he walked to the side and fell silent.
Elder Qian heaved a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what An Yufeng had encountered in the illusion, from the expression on An Yufeng's face, he should have kept his heart and didn't lose it. But why didn't he choose to wake up? After thinking for a while, Elder Qian gave up. No matter what, it was good that An Yufeng passed.
"Rest here for an hour. The next round will test your strength!”Elder Qian said.
Upon hearing Elder Qian's words, no one dared to have any objections, nor did they dare to clamor about elimination. All of them sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the energy stones given by the Sword Sect to recover the Celestial Chi in their bodies.
Jiang Yuan, who was not far away from An Yufeng, looked at the incense stick that had just burned out and then looked at the silent An Yufeng. He snorted coldly and disdain appeared in his eyes. Previously, he thought that he was someone important. He did not expect that he was a demoted outer sect disciple. When he thought about offending an outer sect elder for this servant disciple, he was very unhappy!
"I hope you can persevere until the top ten!" Jiang Yuan said in a low voice and then looked away.
The reason why he hoped An Yufeng could enter the top ten was because the top ten disciples would participate in a competition. Not only would they be rewarded by the Sword Sect, but there was also a meaning to it. The higher the ranking, the easier it was for the elders of the Sword Sect to take notice of them and nurture them. They could also quickly establish connections.
Of course, he hoped that An Yufeng could enter the top ten. His main purpose was to teach him a lesson.
Somewhere, the black-moled youth's gaze swept across the disciples who had passed the illusory realm. Finally, it landed on Jiang Yuan and said,"Out of the six hundred people who passed, he woke up the fastest and only used less than a breath. He should be that Jiang City's once-in-a-hundred-year genius, Jiang Yuan!”
The round-faced young man beside the black-moled young man nodded in agreement and said,"Rumor has it that he is a ninth level cultivator. His true strength should be at the peak of ninth level. "After he becomes a sect disciple, the sect will nurture him for a period of time and he will probably be able to advance to the Innate Realm. When our batch of outer sect disciples becomes inner sect disciples, if no other geniuses appear, he should be the number one outer sect disciple in the future!”
"A sixteen-year-old Peak Rank-9. Such talent is indeed not bad," the black-moled youth said calmly. It was also very promising to nurture him. However, I can see that he is full of arrogance and doesn't know how to restrain his edge. With this kind of temperament, he will definitely suffer in the future.”
The round-faced youth smiled." It's normal for young people to be arrogant." Think about it, back when the demoness didn't come, you and I were insufferably arrogant and didn't put anyone in our eyes. Even though we've restrained our pride a lot, I know that we're still proud to the bone. If he wanted to change his pride, he had to be dealt a blow!”
The moled youth nodded and looked at An Yufeng. After a moment of silence, he said,""He's very strange. When he was awake, his eyes were clear and his face didn't show any emotion. This proves that he's been keeping his true self since he entered the illusion. But why did he stay in the illusion for so long?”
"Perhaps he met some great beauty in the illusion!”The one who spoke was not the round-faced young man, but Xiao Qingyu, who had been silent behind the two of them. He didn't dare to interrupt when the mole-faced youth and the round-faced youth were talking about Jiang Yuan. However, when it came to An Yufeng, he couldn't help it.
The mole-faced young man looked at Xiao Qingyu and said,""As a disciple on the outer sect ranking, let me give you a piece of advice. Never underestimate your opponent!”
Xiao Qingyu nodded respectfully. However, he didn't think much of it. He remembered that he couldn't even take one move from An Yufeng. In a month or so, how strong could he be? At most, he would use two moves!
In the arena, An Yufeng's eyes were slightly closed. He did not absorb the energy stone. To be honest, everything that happened in the illusion had affected him. In the past, the goal of his life was to fight for his sister and mother. He was still very shocked when his mother and sister appeared in the illusion.
He knew from the start that it was just an illusion, but he really didn't want to wake up so quickly. However, he knew that such thoughts were not good. This was because the Illusory Formation in front of him could only be considered an ordinary Illusory Formation. If it was a high-grade Illusory Formation, if he dared to stay in it, he would definitely die.
All in all, his martial will had a weakness, and this weakness was his mother and sister. If this problem was not solved, other problems might appear in the future.
Thinking of this, An Yufeng took a deep breath and said,""After this assessment, it's time to go home!”
An hour had unknowingly passed. At this moment, Elder Cao Huo arrived before the remaining 1,500 over youths. Seeing that there were only 1,500 youths, the disappointment on Feng Yu's face was difficult to conceal. The number of people this time was really much worse than the previous one. If it was the same time next year, then the outer sect of the Sword Sect would probably have an awkward situation where no one was around.
"I hope those geniuses from the Sword Sect can enter the Proclamation of Azure Sky this time. Otherwise, the Sword Sect's future will be bleak!”Cao Huo softly muttered as he looked at the six hundred youths below the stage.
After a moment, Cao Huo adjusted his mood and then said in a clear voice,""The next round is a test of combat ability. Follow me!”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and followed behind Cao Huo.
"Sword pagodas?" Somewhere, the youth with the mole whispered.
The round-faced man chuckled." That demoness made it to the twentieth stage and broke Senior Su's record from more than ten years ago. I wonder if anyone will challenge that demoness's record this time!"”
"Is that possible?" Someone said.
