Before the local competition begins, Longgang City also has to report the quota. On this day, nearly a thousand people gathered in the center of Longgang City, all waiting to watch the excitement.
The Xia family stood in the crowd and listened to Yang Zhen on the stage say:
"Fellow villagers, in addition to signing up today, you can also compete for the first place. Although the resources of Longgang City are limited, we are willing to provide the most outstanding juniors with a spiritual medicine for their practice!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became noisy. Some young men who were older than Xia Xiaowei gathered together, laughing and trying to push each other onto the stage.
Xia Xiao had no interest in such boring games, so he just glanced at them indifferently and took Shu Shuang to sign up. They lined up according to the rules, but the noise around them was a bit unpleasant.
"Brother Rui, I don't think anyone in Longgang City can be your opponent. Why don't you go and give it a try later?"
"Of course I have to try, but that guy is a bit difficult to deal with."
"Xia Xiao? You don't have to worry about him. He has only been practicing for half a year at most. Even though his master is the emperor, so what? The competition is based on real skills."
“That’s right!”
…
Xia Xiao heard what the people behind him said, but he didn't say anything. He decided to let his fists speak for him.
It was Xia Xiao's turn. He stood in front of the person who was recording the event, blocking the sunlight.
"Write Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's names first."
The recorder looked up at Xia Xiao. Was he still a human being with this cold and murderous aura? Although he had a plan in mind, he didn't dare to write it down. He could only look at the city lord not far away. If the city lord nodded, he would definitely write down their names without hesitation.
Yang Zhen glanced at Xia Xiao and nodded to the reporter. Now only Xia Xiao has the ability to take the top spot among the younger generation in Longgang!
Seeing Yang Zhen nod, the recorder was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang had already turned and left. He glanced at the city lord not far away, who nodded, and then he wrote Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's names at the top.
This position represents direct advancement and two of the five places for Longgang City.
The contestants were all arrogant young people, and Xia Xiao's action quickly aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, but Xia Xiao was already standing on the stage, seemingly waiting for a challenger.
"Brother Rui, come on! Why did he get the spot directly?"
"That's right. They have to screen everyone. Why can they do this?"
…
"Hey, wait!"
Rui Ge was pushed to the stage, which was a bit embarrassing, but these bad friends are always like this. Each one is more talkative than the other, and each one is more cowardly than the other when encountering problems.
The people began to cheer. They didn't care so much about who got the spot, because the competition was far away from them, and maybe watching a fight for free was the best thing.
Xia Xiao twisted his neck and assumed a posture ready to attack.
"bring it on!"
There were cheers all around. Brother Rui coughed twice, mustered up his courage, and said loudly:
"Why did you get the quota directly? Aren't you too arrogant?"
Arrogant? Not at all. Xia Xiao just felt that it was too troublesome to screen repeatedly, and even a waste of time. If he had that much time to punch every kid, he might as well go home and practice.
"You are the strongest among the younger generation in Longgang. If I defeat you, the spot will be secured. How about that?"
Xia Xiao spoke in a cold tone. The city lord on the side heard it and looked at Pan Rui.
Seeing so many people seeing him, Pan Rui was a little nervous, licked his lips, nodded and said yes. In fact, Xia Xiao was not asking for his opinion. Whether he agreed or not, he would defeat him, and then he would naturally get the spot.
With his fists clenched and his arms shaken, his vitality gushed out. Pan Rui's mid-stage walking strength immediately attracted cheers from everyone. With such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, he will definitely achieve something in the future. But when the Xia family members gathered together, it was not Pan Rui they were talking about. He was not in their eyes.
"I bet on three moves!"
When Xia Xu said this, Xia Jinghong grinned.
"He is not an enemy. There is no need to embarrass him. Xiao Er will give in to him in four moves."
Xia Xu thought it made sense and asked:
"Can I regret it?"
"No! If you lose, forget about drinking and focus on your training."
"I only drank it once!"
"This is also the last time I return to the imperial capital!"
Xia Xu sighed, and the battle on the stage began!
Pan Rui rushed out first, his steps were extremely fast, causing everyone to howl.
"Brother Rui, fuck him!"
"Come on, Rui-ge!"
Facing Pan Rui's punch, Xia Xiao stood still. It would be too late if he didn't dodge at this distance!
"You're allowed to show off!"
After Pan Rui finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, but Xia Xiao took a step back, leaned back, and pushed him away with a palm.
What?
Pan Rui's brothers were stunned. How could this happen?
"Your steps are unsteady."
Xia Xiao leaned forward, said something to Pan Rui, and immediately kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.
Pan Rui quickly retreated and Xia Xiao did not chase him.
The moment Pan Rui stepped onto the stage, the result of this competition was known. The former was shocked and asked in disbelief:
"When did you enter the late stage of the journey?"
As practitioners, they were extremely sensitive to vital energy. Xia Xiao's kick just now had already surpassed the middle stage of walking.
Without waiting for Xia Xiao's answer, Pan Rui was already nervous. What kind of monster is this? Entering the late stage of the industry at the age of fourteen? Is this going to be heaven? Compared to him, what is he when he entered the middle stage of the industry at the age of seventeen? Waste?
"I'll call you next time I advance?"
Xia Xiao's tone was calm, which was tantamount to a kind of acquiescence, causing nearly a thousand people to look at each other in shock.
"Has he really advanced to the late stage of the journey?"
“I remember they couldn’t practice when they came to Longgang a year ago!”
"He's only fourteen!"
…
The surprised voices of the crowd were also what Pan Rui wanted to ask. His brothers had already run away, but everyone around him knew him, and it would be embarrassing to admit defeat. It is said that if you want to save face, you will suffer in life. This is true.
Forget it, the worst that can happen is that I get beaten up!
Pan Rui made up his mind, gathered all his strength into one punch, and punched out straight ahead.
Standing in place and steadying himself, Xia Xiao also rushed forward and threw a punch.
The two fists collided, creating two waves of vital energy, each heading in its own direction.
The impact of the vitality of the two rivals attracted many people's attention. It was a strong fluctuation, but wasn't Xia Xiao's strength in the late Xinglu? How could he fight like this with Pan Rui?
Pan Rui was also curious, was he giving in to me? That shouldn't be the case.
In front of him, a hand reached out from the air wave and came towards Pan Rui. He had no time to dodge and was knocked to the ground. After kneeling down, Xia Xiao clenched his fist and punched him in the head. The strong wind blew so hard that the latter couldn't open his eyes, but Pan Rui didn't feel any pain.
After squinting his eyes, Xia Xiao had already stood up.
"Is it ready?"
When asked, Yang Zhen quickly said:
"That's enough, that's enough! That's enough!"
Yang Zhen walked onto the stage and helped Pan Rui up.
"Xia Xiao won this competition and deserves a spot and the elixir."
"What about Shu Shuang?"
Someone asked this question, causing the audience of thousands to fall silent.
Shu Shuang was a member of the Zou Shou Church, so her strength was beyond doubt, so the atmosphere was extremely awkward. The man who had spoken earlier knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he squatted on the ground to tie his shoelaces, untying them again, tying them again, and untying them again.
Shu Shuang came on stage, wearing the same green shirt as Xia Xiao. Her black hair reached her waist, and her fair face attracted everyone's attention.
"My Lord City Lord, who should I fight?"
She was born cute, with eyes shining like stars. When she looked at Yang Zhen, he was stunned.
"Who wants to challenge on stage?"
No one spoke in the audience. Shu Shuang was a member of the Shou Church, and they all knew her. Who would dare to go on stage?
"If there is no one, we will temporarily reserve the spots. Xia Xiao, Shu Shuang, and Pan Rui are all in the top three in terms of strength. We will pick the next spots later."
Xia Xiao pulled Shu Shuang off the stage, which made Pan Rui envious. Such a pretty girl, with a natural aura, really envied Xia Xiao! Watching Shu Shuang leave, Pan Rui swallowed his saliva. Yang Zhen saw it and coughed helplessly.
“It’s flowing down!”
He wiped it twice quickly and Pan Rui stepped down. This time he was so embarrassed!
