Chapter 70: The Contest Begins
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is beautiful and the wind is gentle, standing on the peak platform, Long Xingyu is also in a good mood, turning his head, squinting slightly at the children of the clan who participated in the competition one by one, Long Xingyu only felt a little bored. There was no other reason than because they had been waiting in their seats for almost two hours. If this is in the research institute, at least one or two experimental data calculations can be completed, but now here you can only sit and wait.
"What's wrong Xiaoyu, can't you wait?" Long Shengyun on the side couldn't help but say when he saw his brother sitting lazily in his position.
"Yes, you, the preparation work has not been completed for so long, this efficiency is really low. And if you have to wait for so many people to come, isn't it just a competition, and you need to spend a lot of time? But today, except for the great elders, those elders didn't actually sit on the high platform, but instead sat on the side of the three competition platforms, to act as referees, there are still so many places left on the high platform, could it be that the patriarch is also coming. Long Xingyu smiled faintly.
"It should be, how could the patriarch be absent for such a big matter as you, and as for who else will come, it's not clear. But who else could have more face than the Elders? Long Tianyu said on the side.
"Oh, it's boring. There is really a restless factor in me, and this kind of boring waiting, or a quiet and stable life is not for me. I still like to do things that are challenging, adventurous, and exploratory. Sitting like this again, I feel like I'm getting rusty. Long Xingyu stretched his waist and changed to a comfortable position to sit on the chair.
"Hey, how do I feel like you're sitting comfortably, look at your lazy energy. Long Shengyun said with a smile.
"There's no way, I have to wait for half an hour, it's almost eight o'clock, don't pay attention to me, I'll sleep." Saying that, Long Xingyu didn't care about anything else, and directly closed his eyes.
However, he didn't really sleep, but expanded his mental power. In this way, you can not only carefully observe everything around you, but also exercise your mental strength. In fact, Long Xingyu himself was also very helpless, and now he couldn't improve much by absorbing the energy in those spirit stones, which could only be done through the accumulation of quantity. Therefore, he can only focus most of his energy on the cultivation of spiritual power now.
Since breaking through the Innate Sevenfold, Long Xingyu found that he wanted to enter the Innate Eightfold, which was very difficult. In the ring space, he has been in the ring space for five or six years, and during this time, he has absorbed 600,000 top-grade spirit stones, and if he is put in the cultivation realm, he will definitely be scolded by those cultivators. You must know that even those bigwigs in the cultivation realm dare not say that they can have a 100,000 top-grade spirit stone, and they are still being absorbed by Long Xingyu like this. If you change to other monks of the same level, let alone 600,000 top-grade spirit stones, it is estimated that even the energy in 600 spirit stones can explode it. Fortunately, the cyclone in Long Xingyu's body was powerful, and after absorbing so much energy, it only grew a small circle, and as for the rest, it didn't seem to have any effect. If an absorption method like him hadn't had an almost inexhaustible supply of spirit stones within the True Dragon Ring, it was estimated that even if he cultivated to the point where his longevity was exhausted, he wouldn't be able to break through even a single realm.
Of course, although the energy in his body has not increased much, Long Xingyu himself has experimented, when he uses the strange energy in his dantian, the strength he can exert is more than a step higher than those masters of the same level, and now, with the passage of time, he finds that his ** strength seems to be increasing. Now, even with the strength of the flesh, a five-ton tank can be easily lifted. This is also what he found out in the ring space two days ago. If you cooperate with your own internal force, you think it will be much stronger.
When Long Xingyu found out that he actually had such an ability, he didn't pay attention to the first competition. The slight worry that he had because of his lack of actual combat experience disappeared after he truly knew what he was capable of. Although he doesn't care about the outcome of the competition, he can be said to have participated because of his eldest brother, and he also pinned the expectations of his grandfather and family. No matter what, he will not let his eldest brother and relatives down.
Mental power suddenly fluctuated, and Long Xingyu slowly opened his eyes. I saw that on the high platform in the distance, there were already six middle-aged people sitting in the distance, four men and two women, plus the great elder standing in front of the stage, there were seven people in total. Among the six people who followed, the one who sat at the bottom was the patriarch of the Long clan who had met Long Xingyu. On the stage, it seems that even his identity as the patriarch can only be condescended to the bottom, which shows how high the status of the other five people is.
Spiritual power probed over, Long Xingyu found that he could only faintly feel the breath of the patriarch and the great elder, as for the other five, Long Xingyu's spiritual power did not have the slightest perception, as if it did not exist. The reason why I was able to find something strange before was actually because I felt the breath of the patriarch. While his heart was shocked, Long Xingyu also slowly sat upright. "There are a lot of strong people in the clan, these five people can't even perceive their own spiritual power, it can be seen that their strength must far exceed the innate level, maybe they are masters who have entered the realm of condensation.
When Long Xingyu's spiritual power wanted to check their reality and reality, a middle-aged man sitting next to the patriarch had a light in his eyes and walked towards Long Xingyu. Immediately, a "hum" sounded in Long Xingyu's ears. And Long Xingyu only felt his mental strength, and then felt as if his brain had been pricked by a needle.
Not daring to be arrogant at the moment, Long Xingyu hurriedly withdrew his spiritual power and squinted at the middle-aged man. I saw that the person's aura was extremely vague, and he only had an unfathomable feeling to Long Xingyu, and Long Xingyu also found that he didn't seem to know the appearance of everyone on the high platform except for the Great Elder and the Patriarch. This also made Long Xingyu's heart sink, and he didn't dare to release his spiritual power anymore. And after Long Xingyu's spiritual power was withdrawn, the middle-aged man did not target him again, and glanced at Long Xingyu lightly, and the middle-aged man closed his eyes. I thought it was just because Long Xingyu didn't understand the rules just now, so he gave him a little lesson. The others didn't feel it at all.
Wiping a cold sweat, Long Xingyu looked at the people around him, and none of them seemed to notice what happened just now. Some were still cultivating with their eyes closed, and some were looking around, looking at the clansmen sitting on both sides of the platform. Long Xingyu smiled helplessly, he suffered a small loss in the competition of secret spiritual power just now, but then he also had some doubts. It seems that ordinary cultivators, including ancient martial arts cultivators, even if their strength has reached the innate realm, although they all have strong spiritual power, their spiritual power cannot be used like Long Xingyu and the middle-aged man, relatively speaking, those ability cultivators seem to have a unique advantage in the use of spiritual power.
Of course, it is not that the spiritual power of the cultivators is not comparable to that of the supernatural beings, but the way of using the two is not the same, because the cultivators themselves do not have a strong degree of brain domain development, but after cultivation, they develop their own bodies step by step, and realize self-evolution little by little, so it is difficult to use the spiritual power effectively in the early stage. And those who are supernatural are different, most of them are born, the degree of brain domain development is much higher than ordinary people, which has a certain innate advantage, through development, when they continue to meditate and cultivate, and constantly train their spiritual power, so at the level equivalent to the innate level of masters, their spiritual power is much stronger than that of monks. Ordinary innate level monks, their spiritual power can barely force the outside, wrap themselves, and through calling, they can perceive danger when fighting, so as to react quickly. In fact, they are using their mental power as a defense. The Aliens, their application of spiritual power at this time is much stronger than that of the monks.
However, once a cultivator reaches a certain level, their spiritual power will transform into spiritual consciousness, and at this time, the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators will be able to exert an effect that far exceeds the spiritual power of the supernatural person. It is precisely because of the existence of spiritual consciousness that the monks can communicate with heaven and earth through some magic mudras and the like, so as to attract the power of heaven and earth to fight against each other. And the role of spiritual consciousness in other aspects is also very powerful. Moreover, through the improvement of strength, when the monk survives the heavenly tribulation, the spiritual consciousness will also be transformed into immortal consciousness, and the monk at this time, through the immortal consciousness, will be able to have the ability to turn the clouds and rain. Of course, if the immortal consciousness evolves again, it is the divine consciousness, which will have many mysterious uses.
Seeing that everyone was still waiting without a head, Long Xingyu couldn't help but be a little funny, and stabbed Long Shengyun beside him with his elbow, and Long Xingyu raised his head towards the high platform. After Long Shengyun looked at it, he found that it was already full of people, and as for when these people went up to the high platform, he didn't pay any attention to it.
Long Shengyun also learned from Long Xingyu to stab Long Tianyu beside him like that just now, so that the latter also noticed the situation on the high platform, with Long Tianyu's somewhat stunned expression, Long Xingyu and Long Shengyun couldn't help but laugh.
Although, but Long Xingyu was secretly thinking in his heart, the situation, the strength of everyone on the stage was at least at the level of condensation, and from the trace of breath that erupted from the middle-aged man just now, Long Xingyu could clearly feel that the gap between himself and him was simply incomprehensible. Although he had that strange dantian cyclone energy, if he really wanted to face the middle-aged man just now, he would probably be defeated by him in an instant. Fortunately, that person didn't have any ill will towards him, and he should also be an elder in the clan, if he changed to someone else, it probably wouldn't be so easy to say.
"Brother Lai's words are really true, self-confidence comes from strength, and fearlessness comes from ignorance. There are people outside the world, there is heaven outside the sky, don't be complacent. Muttering secretly, Long Xingyu took a deep breath and completely put aside the trace of pride that he had after his strength was improved.
Just when everyone was waiting a little impatiently, the voice of the Great Elder suddenly came from the high platform, which also attracted everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today for the family's election of the patriarch every fifty years. Before each patriarchal election, there will be a big contest. And this big competition is a test of the strength and potential of the younger generation, of course, it is also a test for those patriarch candidates, through the test, it can also allow us to better understand the strength, talent, and vision of everyone to make a certain assessment. As he spoke, he moved out of the front of the high platform, pointed to the six people sitting on the high platform, and said to everyone under the high platform: "They are the elders of the clan, this is the patriarch of the family, and these people around him are the elders of the previous generation of elders in the family, they will be the supervisors of this competition, and I hope that the children of the family who participate in the competition can try their best to give full play to their abilities and perform well in front of everyone." If there are outstanding performers and outstanding talents, the seniors will also give some guidance. Let's do a lot of hard work. With that, the Great Elder walked under the high platform.
"Come, in the family land in that mysterious space, there are also hierarchical divisions and rules of order. These elder family elders should be specially sent to screen the qualified people in the clan. Long Xingyu thought to himself. But his eyes moved to the patriarch who stood up.
Coming to the high platform, under the gaze of the audience and others, the patriarch said in a deep voice: "Now, I announce that the family competition has officially begun. ”
