Chapter 20 March Competition
“Oh oh oh …”
In the early morning, the roosters in the yard raised their chests and made loud cries. The closer they were, the louder their cries became. They were not crying, but were actually screaming wildly.
Ying Chengfeng opened his eyes and he jumped up from the bed.
He stretched out his arms and did a chest expansion exercise that was absolutely rare in this world, and a hint of color appeared on his face inexplicably.
Yesterday, he successfully upgraded his true energy to the third level. However, he did not mention this great event to anyone, but still quietly returned home.
It is a great thing to improve true qi, but he does not intend to make a big fuss, but he has no intention of hiding it. Perhaps when his parents persuade him again, he will say it out and dispel the concerns of the two old people.
After rushing to eat breakfast, he left home and walked towards the stream outside the village again.
The spiritual patterns on the armor have been engraved, and even the spiritual patterns breaking points have been smoothed out by half. At most, he will be able to complete the work in a few days.
He already had a feeling of almost obsession with spiritual patterns and spiritual reaming, so he couldn't wait to see what kind of miracles would happen when this set of armor was successfully reaming spiritual reaming.
"Senior Brother Chengfeng, are you going up the mountain again?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came over.
Ying Chengfeng turned his head, and a young man who was a little older than him looked at him with a smile. The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he called his senior brother, he had an unconcealed look of ridicule in his eyes.
With a slightly frown, Ying Chengfeng certainly knew this person.
Gu Liao just worshipped under his uncle Yinglid two years ago. In just two years, he not only condensed his true energy, but also promoted to the second level. It is a world of difference from his practice for five years, but he is still wandering in the first level of true energy.
However, like most of his fellow disciples, he despised Ying Chengfeng quite a bit. It was because Ying Lied had a relationship with his uncle and nephew, so he never dared to bully him.
"Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?" Ying Chengfeng asked in a deep voice.
Gu Liao was slightly stunned. He felt vaguely that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little different from before.
If it were the past, Ying Chengfeng, who was not in love with him, would not pay any attention to him at all, but now his demeanor and tone have changed subtly, as if he really put on the airs of being a senior brother.
The corner of his mouth slightly curled, and Gu Liao thought to himself that he had no strength, but he still had to put on a senior brother's airs. He was really ungrateful. However, he said, "Senior Brother Chengfeng, today is the day of every three months that the master stipulates. Don't you want to go and have a look?"
A sudden look flashed in Ying Chengfeng's eyes, and he immediately understood Gu Liao's purpose.
If it were the past, whenever he encountered the day of three months of skills, it would be the most difficult day for Ying Chengfeng, because he was always the first level of true energy. When he saw the people who were originally at the same level as him, but gradually improved and left him far away, he naturally felt ashamed, angry and jealous.
Therefore, he has not participated in such a competition in nearly a year.
But now...
A smile appeared on his face and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Gu, for your reminder. It turns out that today is a day of skill, and I really forgot."
Gu Liao was stunned for a moment, and he was amazed in his heart. If he had mentioned this topic in front of Ying Chengfeng in the past, he would have left without saying a word.
Such actions can greatly satisfy Gu Liao's heart.
Even if it is the master's nephew, it is better to lower your head and escape in front of you.
But today Ying Chengfeng's performance is very different from the past. Not only did he fail his expectations, but he also faintly held a breath of unreleased anger.
Of course, even if Gu Liao is ten times more courageous, he will not dare to attack Ying Chengfeng.
His eyes rolled, and he laughed and said, "Senior Brother Chengfeng, you have not participated several times. Master and all four brothers miss you very much. Why not go and have a look today."
Ying Chengfeng pondered for a moment and finally said, "Okay, in order not to disappoint everyone, I'll go and have a look."
Gu Liao was overjoyed and said to himself, since you are willing to participate, that would be great. Humph, in the comparison arena, I must let you know who is the real senior brother.
Ying Chengfeng turned around and entered a large yard with Gu Liao.
Sanxia Village has more than a hundred families. Although it is not as prosperous as Panlong Town, it is also one of the few large villages around it. However, the most prominent among the villages is undoubtedly the Ying family.
In particular, Ying Lied, as an introductory disciple of the Qidao Sect, is even more famous. It is naturally not surprising that he can occupy the largest courtyard in the village.
When Ying Chengfeng came to the yard, more than ten people had gathered here.
The moment when they saw Ying Chengfeng and Gu Liao enter at the same time, almost everyone subconsciously blinked their eyes. They were all a little doubtful whether they were dazzled.
Ying Chengfeng, who had not appeared on the day of skill for nearly a year, actually came to this yard again.
They exchanged a look of each other, and the expressions they showed in their eyes were different, but most of them were inevitably sarcastic.
After seeing these glances, Ying Chengfeng sighed secretly in his heart.
The original owner of this body was indeed a failure in the first ten years of his life.
Among these more than ten people, the three young people at the forefront were undoubtedly the most dazzling. They stood among the crowd, and their behavior and manners were obviously much higher, giving people a sense of arrogance that stood out from the crowd.
The others were also cautiously keeping a certain distance from them, and the look of looking at them was also complimentary.
Ying Haitao, Ying Haikang, Zhang Chunxiao.
Yinglid's two sons and his most proud disciples, since the beginning, have been monopolizing the top three in each skill competition.
Every three months, they can get the gift of a low-grade health pill.
Although it is just a low-grade health pill, it can also play a huge auxiliary role for them to take it at critical moments. Therefore, the gap between them and the other disciples has continued to widen, and now it is like three towering mountains standing in front of everyone, making it impossible for them to climb.
Everyone looked at Ying Chengfeng and then looked at the Ying Haitao brothers, and they all thought to themselves.
The three of them are also considered cousins, but two of them are so outstanding, while the last one is nothing more than everyone else. The gap is so big, it is really touching.
Ying Haitao and Ying Haikang looked at each other, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
They did not have any malice in dissatisfaction with this cousin. Although Ying Chengfeng's performance is indeed quite embarrassing, the blood relationship between relatives is here and no one will easily ignore it.
But in their hearts, there was still an idea that Ying Chengfeng might have given up practicing.
With a light cough, Ying Haitao said, "Cheer the wind, come here."
"Yes." Ying Chengfeng responded and walked to Ying Haitao.
Gu Liao and others looked over with envious and jealous eyes. Ying Haitao was their idol and the one they most hoped to surpass. Although they all knew that Ying Haitao looked at Ying Chengfeng with a different look because of his relatives, he was still a little angry.
Why is this waste a relative, not himself?
"Chengfeng, how have you been practicing these days?" Ying Haitao asked with a happy look.
In fact, everyone knows that Ying Chengfeng usually stays in front of the abandoned blacksmith shop outside the village. It was originally the place where Ying Lied used when he was young and was regarded as the Ying family's private property. Although no one guarded him, the villagers consciously refused to get close.
In the Ying family, the brothers Ying Haitao and Ying Haikang practiced with all their hearts, so naturally they would not be bored and stare blankly there. Only Ying Chengfeng hid there like an ostrich, as if this would prevent contact with the world.
Ying Chengfeng smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Brother, I have lived a fulfilling life these days, very good."
Ying Haitao was slightly stunned, and a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.
This little brother has always been depressed and depressed. He gives people a feeling of being old at a young age, so they unanimously think that he is no longer suitable for continuing his practice.
But now it seems that he is once again full of fighting spirit and a vibrant upward aura.
Although I don’t know what exactly made his mentality change, it was definitely a big joy.
Ying Haitao nodded and was about to speak, but heard a familiar sound of footsteps.
Everyone's faces were fixed, and at the same time, Yinglid walked in with stern arriving.
"Meet Master."
Everyone bent down and bowed to salute at the same time, even the Ying Haitao brothers were called in the name of their master.
"Yeah." Ying Lied nodded slightly, and he said with joy, "No gift."
Everyone stood up, Zhang Chunxiao suddenly shouted, "Master, have you joined the Forging Hall?"
On Yinglid's shoulder, there was a mark of an axe. Although it was dark and inconspicuous, it seemed to be a supreme honor in the eyes of the insider.
Ying Lied laughed loudly and said, "Yes, I have successfully engraved the spiritual patterns for my master, and I have received the recognition of Master Zhang Mingyun. I finally cast a spiritual sword, so I officially became a member of the founding hall in the sect."
"Congratulations to Master."
For a moment, the congratulations from everyone rang like a tide.
The Foundry Hall has a higher status in the Artifact Sect. Since the master can join the Foundry Hall, everyone's identity will definitely be rising and they will have greater benefits.
Ying Lied nodded proudly. Being able to join the Foundry Hall was one of his greatest wishes. Now that it can be fulfilled, he is naturally full of joy. It is understandable that he has some loss of composure in front of these disciples.
After a moment, he waved his hand gently and everyone stopped.
Ying Lied said proudly: "This time I joined the foundry hall for my master and received a reward." His eyes turned, and swept across the faces of Ying Haitao, Ying Haikang and Zhang Chunxiao, and said: "This reward will be given to the top of this competition. You should work harder."
ps: Today I went to visit the graves of the elders at home and came back to see the time in the evening. Don’t blame me if the update is late!
