Chapter 019: The Family Martial Arts
The time for the family coming-of-age ceremony came as scheduled, and the whole samurai family was already busy before dawn on this day. Although everything that can be prepared in advance has been prepared, there are some things that must be arranged on the spot.
The courtyard of the samurai family sits in the north and faces south, the main gate opens to the south, and the main gate comes in, which is a huge square with a martial arts ring in the middle.
The area around the ring is also very wide, and there are also many tables and chairs on the north, east and west sides of the venue.
According to the rules, the northern position is at least the elder level of the martial family, and there are not many seats arranged. Dongfang is also the seat of the family, it is the seat of the second-generation disciples of the martial family, and the rest of the family members are also standing on this side.
The last remaining West is for those who come to watch the ceremony. Because those families came, how many people came from each family, there were basically a number, so these were all arranged a long time ago.
It had only just passed, and there were already many people around the ring, but they were all children of the martial arts family. And some deacons in charge of family affairs are also at the gate, welcoming guests from all walks of life.
Wu Feng and Wu Tianxing, in order not to attract the attention of others, did not go to an inconspicuous corner in the east of the ring until nearly half of the hour and the family coming-of-age ceremony officially began.
Halfway through the hour, Wu Kun and the nine elders of the Wu family walked out of the inner hall together. The nine elders walked to their respective seats and sat down, and the patriarch Wu Kun went to the middle seat, but he didn't sit down, and pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Welcome to the coming-of-age ceremony of the children of the Wu family, I represent the Wu family" Originally, Wu Kun and the nine elders came out, most of them had quieted down, and then Wu Kun signaled, the audience suddenly quieted down, and Wu Kun began a welcome speech.
A long list of speeches, listening to Wu Feng was depressed, although he didn't know how others felt, but Wu Feng was secretly muttering in his heart: "I really didn't expect that grandpa, who has always been serious, would be so good at talking nonsense!"
From the welcome speech to the visitor, and then the encouragement to the descendants of the family, it was a full two minutes before Wu Kun's voice changed abruptly, and he announced loudly: "This coming-of-age ceremony of the Wu family starts now!"
After Wu Kun announced the start of the ceremony, he went to the middle seat and sat down, and another clan elder stood up and took two steps forward to make his figure stand out a little more. That elder was also one of the nine people who came out with Wu Kun before, but Wu Feng didn't know him.
"This is also one of the nine law enforcement elders of the family, and he is in charge of the family's etiquette and internal affairs. Wu Tianxing saw that Wu Feng was puzzled, and introduced on the side.
After the elder took two steps forward, he was extremely simple, without the slightest nonsense, and said directly: "The second item of the ceremony will be carried out below, this adult competition among the adult children of the clan, showing the family the results of your cultivation before adulthood, will also determine your arrangements when you become an adult." ”
"The rules of the competition are to stop when the point is reached, and the opponent must not be maliciously harmed. However, the sword has no eyes, and if there is any injury in the competition, the patriarch and the nine law enforcement elders will determine whether it is intentional or not, and deliberately injuring people will be severely punished according to the situation!"
In fact, this is also a polite remark, Dongchen Kingdom advocates martial arts, and the competition is all done with all his might, as long as it is not intentional killing, or the identity of the two sides is too different, they will generally not be held responsible. At the very least, it cannot be pursued openly.
"The competition procedure, the lottery battle, the winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated. ”
"There are sixty-four adult children of the family this time, and the thirty-two people who advance to the first round will have two years of time to continue cultivating; the sixteen people who advance to the second round will have five years of time to continue cultivating; the eight people who advance to the third round will have ten years of time to continue cultivating, and they will be rewarded with one Yellow Rank Intermediate Martial Technique and two Pei Yuan Pills. ”
"After the top eight are decided, everyone who has been eliminated before will have a chance to challenge. ”
"After the challenge, the new quarterfinals will continue to compete and rank in the rankings. The top three will be rewarded with one Yellow Rank Advanced Martial Skill and five Pei Yuan Dan. The first person in the family, after cultivating to reach the fifth level of the first martial arts, chooses a book of Xuan-level primary martial arts. ”
The elder of the family talked about the procedure of the competition, and also said the specific reward. When these words came out, they naturally made the children below excited, but Wu Feng was not so comfortable in his heart.
Wu Feng remembered that there were sixty-five children in the family at the same time, and now when he said sixty-four, he obviously ignored himself.
That is, the matter of his disappearance did not attract attention from the family training camp. And my father is away all the year round, and my grandfather is busy with affairs, if I really encountered an accident at the beginning, then my grandfather and father would have been hidden for a long time. Even if he is found out later, he may still have the notorious reputation of fleeing without permission.
"The big families are ruthless, maybe only by getting out of the rut can we find our own world! If I hadn't met Shizun, even if I didn't die in the family infighting, I would have done nothing for the rest of my life!" Wu Feng sighed in his heart.
Then he looked at the eldest brother, and his heart was full of thoughts: "The eldest brother is dedicated to developing the mercenary group, and he is definitely more promising than the family." If the father develops in the army, it is better than in the family, and even if there is a fight, he will not be soft with the enemy because of scruples. ”
"What's wrong?" Wu Tianxing looked at Wu Feng's appearance, as if he was in a daze, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"No, I'm thinking about something. Wu Feng replied casually, and then looked at the ring.
At this time, in the ring, there are two family members fighting, although the two are fighting decently, but in Wu Feng's eyes, it is not the case at all.
The battle between the two is simply like a show, move to move, weapon to weapon. In such a battle, with the experience and vision of Wu Feng's fighting, he is extremely disdainful.
However, it was like a performance move, and within a few rounds, one person was knocked out of the ring and fell straight down. Wu Feng was even more speechless, because he was not beaten down at all, but scared down.
"That's too bad, isn't it?" Wu Feng muttered speechlessly.
"With the protection of the family, it is good to be able to do this. Although the one who lost was very poor, the one who won still had a little bit of actual combat level. Wu Tianxing expressed his opinion and said on the side:
"Back then, I wasn't much better than them, and I still sneaked into the mountains occasionally. In the family training camp, it is not only the training of the children of the family, but also the protection of them, and only after they become adults can they become truly strong. ”
"Speaking of which, what happened to you, Brother Feng, is also a blessing and a curse. Not to mention your chance, even if you leave half a year early, it is enough for you to grow to a level that your peers can't match. With your current strength, not to mention that you are invincible in your peers, it is difficult to have an opponent even in the true martial arts realm. ”
Wu Feng nodded and didn't say anything more.
He naturally understood in his heart that half a year ago, he was an ordinary person who had not entered the Beginner Martial Realm, but because he had practiced the basic boxing technique hard and strengthened his body, and because he had accumulated some combat experience under the bullying of the children of the same clan, he would be able to defeat the Beginner Martial Artist at that time.
Later, after practicing "Five-Shape Boxing", in order to meet the needs of the body, he went into the mountains to hunt, and he grew up in actual combat. And because the physical body has entered the first-order pseudo-spirit body, its combat power is not afraid of the third-level martial arts of the first martial arts.
Therefore, when facing the siege of Wu Jian and others on the beach, he was able to barely cope and injured several of them.
The two watched a few more fights, but they were all boring. If both sides have no combat experience, the fight will take a long time, and if one side has some experience, the opponent will be quickly resolved.
In the first few scenes, there were some side disciples, and there was no one Wu Feng knew, but it was such a scene, Wu Feng naturally couldn't stand it, so he simply sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Good body!" I don't know how long it took, Wu Feng seemed to hear Wu Tianxing exclaim.
"What?" Wu Feng was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but what Wu Tianxing exclaimed, he was naturally interested, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"The woman on the stage now has a very good body technique! What she is practicing should be a Yellow Order Advanced Body Technique, and she is also very familiar with it, which is really good!" Wu Tianxing explained, he paid more attention to the family and watched the martial arts competition.
When Wu Feng heard this, he stood up and looked towards the ring, his expression suddenly moved, and he said: "That's Wu Ling, the granddaughter of the third grandfather's family, she has always cultivated very hard, but her qualifications are not very good, and now she is only barely reaching the third level of the first martial arts, and she should have opened the fifth meridian not long ago." ”
After all, they are the children of the same generation and the same period, and they have been in the family training camp together for so long, although Wu Feng is ostracized there and does not know many people, but the children of the descendants still know everything.
Wu Feng is called the third grandfather, and he is naturally a family lineage. In addition to the patriarch of the martial family, only the nine law enforcement elders have a ranking, and the top three of them are the representatives of the three major lineages of the family.
"It turned out to be the granddaughter of the third grandfather, her body martial arts should have been given to her by the third grandfather, and there was no such good martial arts in the family training camp. As soon as Wu Feng mentioned it, Wu Tianxing understood.
The children of the martial arts family entered the family training camp at the age of seven, left the training camp at the age of sixteen, and only had very little time to reunite with their families every year.
But when Wu Feng mentioned the third grandfather, Wu Tianxing naturally understood.
The three lineages of the martial family, among which the patriarch Wu Kun and the great elder belong to the same lineage and are biological brothers. The second elder is the other line, and when he failed to compete for the patriarch, he was not convinced, and he has always been at odds with the patriarch. The third elder is upright, although the patriarch and the second elder compete for wooing, but they are more biased towards the patriarch.
It can be said that the relationship between Wu Kun and the three elders is very good. Because Wu Kun and the three elders have the same goal, which is to develop and grow the family.
"With the body of the Wuling clan sister, even if the cultivation is a little worse, there is still hope for entering the top eight. There are only three beginner martial arts and four layers in front of them, and they have only just opened the seventh meridian, so I think they made the most sprint not long ago. Wu Tianxing analyzed.
"Well, how can there be a fourth-level beginner martial artist, I remember that the person who cultivated to the highest level half a year ago should have only opened up the five meridians!" Wu Feng didn't look at the competition in front of him, and he didn't know how the cultivation of everyone in Lu Dao was, so he was suddenly surprised.
Wu Tianxing was a little surprised when he saw Wu Feng so surprised, and after thinking about it, he said: "The training in the family training camp has always been based on the foundation, and only the better the foundation, the better the development in the future." But before the coming-of-age ceremony, in the face of the upcoming family assessment, as long as the children who have the conditions, they will use the pill to open up the meridians and break through the cultivation. ”
"Therefore, the last half a year is basically the period when the children of the family have made the fastest progress in cultivation, and it is not an exaggeration for some people to break through one after another during this time. But with Brother Feng's strength, you can naturally completely ignore these people, if it is a free challenge, Brother Feng, you are enough to sweep the audience. ”
Wu Tianxing had seen the previous competition, and it was obvious that those children of the fourth-layer family of the first martial arts would definitely not be able to defeat the martial artists of the third layer of the junior martial arts in the mercenary group. Not to mention the current realm of the peak of the first martial arts of Yi Wu Feng, as well as the strength that far surpasses the first martial realm.
