C18 Selection competition
Jun Wu Chen's cultivation had increased by a level in the last ten days of combat. Now that he had reached the Great Circle of the Transcendent Level, his combat experience had increased significantly. Jun Wu Chen's body was stronger than ever before.
After a night of rest, Jun Wu Chen got up and began to meditate and train, as usual, at midnight when his yin qi was at its peak and his yang qi was at its weakest, Jun Wu Chen's Zhen Qi belonged to the Scorching Sun family, so he had to have enough yang qi to absorb the energy from the heaven and earth, otherwise the Zhen Qi in his body would first convert it into a scorching sun, which would allow him to absorb the energy at the same time, which was why Jun Wu Chen chose to wake up in the morning to practice. At this time, the sun was rising, the yin qi was gradually increasing, and the yin qi was declining.
Circulating the spirit energy around his body for three cycles, he was drenched in sweat and feeling incomparable joy. Jun Wu Chen got off the bed, put on his clothes and left the room. The Jun residence was roughly the same size as the Jun residence, and had many different types of flowers and plants growing along the corridor. The Jun residence was about the same size as the Jun residence, and had many different types of flowers and plants growing along the corridor.
Jun Wu Chen knew her since she was his maid, and her name was Xiao Ju. Jun Wu Chen and Jun Wu Yi had been drinking at the table the other day, and Jun Wu Yi had been waiting on her. When Little Ju saw Jun Wu Chen, the anxiety on her face immediately turned into excitement. She rushed to Jun Wu Chen and said in a breathless voice, "Jun Wu Chen. Young Master Jun, Young Master … The young master is looking for you, saying that he wants to pay his respects to the old master. He has something important to discuss with him. "
Jun Wu Chen said in his heart: "Oh no, I've been in the Jun Family for more than ten days and I've been sparring with Jun Wu Yi every day. This big family has always paid attention to their reputation, and has always treated their work with respect. Jun Wu Yi and I have chatted and laughed ever since we arrived, and Jun Wu Yi has never taken the Old Master's words to heart. He hasn't come to his room to pay his respects, which is a grave sin. " When he thought of this, Jun Wu Chen was terrified and didn't have the mood to take a walk in the courtyard. He said to Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, hurry and lead the way. I'm going to pay my respects to the old master." The two of them walked towards the main hall.
Jun Wu Yi is talking to a middle-aged man who looks very similar to him." That person was in his forties. He wore a caged hat, and was clad in simple clothes. He wore a white jade belt around his waist, and naturally stood there. He exuded a scholarly aura, exuding the domineering aura of a king. Jun Wu Yi had always been a man of exceptional talent and an arrogant temperament, but in front of this man, he was still a bit young and tender.
Jun Wu Chen knew that this man was Jun Wu Yi's father, the patriarch of the Jun Family. He did not dare to hesitate at the moment as he cupped his fists and bowed apologetically, "I am Jun Wu Chen of the Jun Family. I have not visited Uncle for more than half a month, I hope that Uncle can punish me."
The man laughed and put his hand on Jun Wu Chen's arm, and said: "My dear nephew, there is no need to be so courteous, I have heard from Wu Yi that your cultivations are similar, and that you are even close to his ideals. Since the first time I saw you, he already thought that you are his bosom friend, so he pestered you for more than half a month to study martial arts and discuss reason, and thus was unable to show up at my place for me to see you, my dear nephew, you are Wu Yi's friend and the Jun Family's hero, there is no need to be so polite."
He continued, "I heard that you guys wanted to become sworn brothers. What do you mean, nephew?" Jun Wu Chen had long wanted to become sworn brothers with Jun Wu Yi, but hadn't thought about this matter since he had been busy fighting recently. He said without hesitation: "I've been wanting to make friends with Brother Jun since I've left, but I'm afraid that you'll despise me for being the heir to the Jun Family." The clan leader replied, "My identity is just an empty title. Since you and I are not interested in such things, then the two of you should go pay your respects at the ancestral hall and inform the ancestors. Return to the ancestral hall and offer me a cup of tea. We can forget about the other formalities." Jun Wu Chen and Jun Wu Yi replied in unison.
The two of them returned from the ancestral hall and toasted the chief's cup of tea. After the ceremony, the two of them became sworn brothers. Jun Wu Yi's father looked at the two men, nodded happily and said: "Wu Yi, take Jun Wu Chen out for a walk, and spend some money in the account room to have some fun." Jun Wu Yi happily replied: "Yes, Father!" Then he pulled Jun Wu Chen along and went out.
He went to the account room, opened the bank and walked out of the Jun residence, feeling free and at ease. Jun Wu Yi opened his mouth and said: "Brother, let's go. I'll take you to a good place to drink the best wine possible and listen to the best story." Jun Wu Chen was puzzled, "Where are we going?" However, he didn't care that much as he followed Jun Wu Yi out.
Jun Wu Yi walked towards the most boisterous place in the market and said: "We're here!" Jun Wu Chen looked up and saw the words' Jun Yi's Wine House 'written in large golden letters on top of the flat table. Jun Wu Yi said: "The biggest restaurant in the radius of dozens of miles is not only filled with wine, beauties, and other heroes of the martial arts world, but also Mr. storyteller. They not only tell stories from books, but also tell stories about the most recent ones." Jun Wu Chen was a bit dubious when he heard this, and couldn't believe that this storyteller would have such a magical ability. However, he was completely convinced that Jun Wu Yi was right. Jun Wu Chen didn't think too much about it, and followed Jun Wu Yi inside.
The two found a table next to the window and sat down. Coincidentally, a storyteller came into the room. Seeing his white beard, he seemed quite old. He was holding a paper fan in one hand and a banner in the other. The words on the banner read: "A History of the World". The people beside him started a discussion. A burly man stood up and said to the old man, "Aren't you being too arrogant?" The old man said, "If you want to scare people, then just ask. If you think it's a mistake, then just listen to it for fun." That person asked, "What earth-shattering things have happened in the martial arts world recently? To be honest, these two taels of silver are yours. Furthermore, the money you have for your wine today is mine." The old man said: "Recently, there have been a lot of trivial things in the martial world, but there is only one major event that has happened, and that was the annexation of a branch of the Jun Family, and it happened overnight without any warning or any sound. The branch head was killed on the spot, and it is said that the son of the original leader, Jun Wu Chen, had left the main branch and disappeared without a trace."
Jun Wu Chen felt that this old man's words were true. The man continued, "Okay, you're right, but you're only half right." The old man said, "I would like to hear more about it." That person said, "Elder, do you know about the selection competition one year from now? The various sects and schools are extremely busy with this matter. Is it considered a heaven-shaking event?" The old man chuckled and said, "The selection competition will be held a year later. Moreover, this competition will be held on the Divine Dragon Island, not our Red Leaf Island's martial arts world. "The old man talks about history and the martial arts world, but regardless of the future, if you insist that this selection competition is an earth-shattering event, then you know that I was just joking, no one needs to care about it." That person said, "If you're right, I will only treat you to wine. I can't give you the two taels of silver."
When Jun Wu Chen heard this, he thought to himself: "What is the purpose of this selection competition? Why doesn't this old man agree with what he just said and why are the various sects so busy for him?" Jun Wu Chen asked Jun Wu Yi: "Brother, what is the purpose of this selection competition?"
Jun Wu Yi's blood was boiling as he chatted about this topic, and he suddenly became full of energy. He then said to Jun Wu Chen: "This selection competition is a gathering of talents that only happens once every four years. This is the second world, and right now, all the sects and schools are extremely busy for it. I went to the stage this time to train my magic techniques, hoping to be able to get a place in the selection competition, in order to win a place in the competition, first, to win glory for our Red Leaf Island, and secondly, to be able to obtain a secret treasure, which is also an extremely valuable asset for cultivation. " Jun Wu Chen's face revealed an intoxicated expression, making him want to laugh.
Jun Wu Chen asked again: "Since it's such a grand meeting, why does this old man not want to go?" Jun Wu Yi said: "The Island Lord of the Divine Dragon Island is a narrow-minded man, and is not a good man. Moreover, this competition is organized by the four major sects. The other sects' achievements are really difficult to win." Jun Wu Chen asked again: "Then why are you still thinking like that?" Jun Wu Yi said: "That's a good question. It would be a waste of time if I didn't go to practice for so many years." Besides, I am already at the second level of transcendent power. I reckon that the experts of the four great sects are around the same level, so I still have a chance. Even if I don't get into the top four, it's still not bad to show my face in the top eight. Actually, there are a few people who do not want to participate in the cultivation process. Since he was young, in order to cultivate, he had given up on his studies and his pride. Now that he has learned well, who is willing to let go of this opportunity? " Jun Wu Chen also felt that this made sense and nodded his head. Jun Wu Chen nodded his head and said in a hurry: "When the time comes, you'll represent our Jun Family and come with me. Let your Jun Family see your head, and take it as a form of expenditure."
Jun Wu Chen's heart was once again filled with sadness as he spoke of helping the branch. He had been betrayed and abandoned by the leader of the Jun Family. He had parted ways with his brother. Fortunately, Jun Wu Yi didn't dislike him and had formed a brother with him. Suddenly, a warm feeling spread throughout his body. Jun Wu Chen used his hand to grip the jar of wine, and then picked it up and started drinking.
Jun Wu Chen was completely satisfied with his wine. He then turned to Jun Wu Yi and said: "Alright, let's practice hard and prepare to cause a ruckus in the selection competition."
