Chapter 69: Martial Skills Practice

  The huge rolling stone doesn't move very fast!

  From bottom to top, the scale inside the groove becomes larger and larger.

  Liu Fang's gaze remained fixed on the massive boulder. As Xia Yan's footsteps slowly moved forward, the boulder also continued to push backward.

  "Incredible!"

  In Liu Fang's mind, at this moment, there was only one thought, that is, it was unthinkable!!!!!

  He saw that when the boulder was rolling, although it wasn't fast, from start to finish, the speed of the boulder's roll was completely uniform. In other words, as the difficulty gradually increased, Xia Yan's speed in pushing the boulder did not slow down with it.

  Xia Yan pushes the round stone, always keeping it at a uniform speed.

  More than a dozen contestants who had been tested before, no one could do it. Even when Wang Yuyan pushed the boulder, she was fast and then slow, and the boulder would still stop rolling. This is because her control over her own strength cannot be refined to a high level.

  Liu Fang thought to herself, even if he himself, it's probably hard to do as well as Xia Yan.

  Good heavens, this requires such precise control over one's own strength! Liu Fang couldn't help but exclaim in her heart!

  Ordinary people can't even think of achieving what Xia Yan has done. Such abilities are only possessed by cultivators who have reached an astonishing level of control over their internal energy.

  Liu Fang thought that such control ability was probably only possessed by strong practitioners in the realm of Ling Shi. However, Xia Yan, a 15-year-old cultivator, had actually achieved it.

  Soon, the round stone also reached one hundred and eight degrees.

  Xia Yan casually withdrew his palms and glanced at Liu Fang with a smile.

  Liu Fang, at this time, had not yet recovered from the great shock.

  Until the cheers erupted around the square, Liu Fang suddenly woke up. All the descendants of the Xia family were overjoyed. In the competition three years ago, no one from the Xia family had fully opened their martial arts meridians, but this time, there was a Xia Yan.

  On the high platform, seven temple attendants sit in a row.

  Hong Fei's gaze was fixed on Xia Yan, with a sharp glint in his eyes.

  "Good!"

  Hong Fei suddenly said a good word!

  In the tests of more than ten contestants who had been tested before, Hong Fei did not have any change in his facial expression at all. But after Xia Yan's test, Hong Fei surprisingly said a word "good".

  A steward beside Hong Fei couldn't help but smile and asked in surprise, "Brother Hong Fei, you suddenly said a 'good' word, could it be because of that Xia family youngster who just finished testing his inner power?"

  Hong Fei heard this and a smile suddenly appeared on his aged face, "Exactly! This Xia Yan is indeed rare! Hehe, being able to control one's own strength with such precision is truly rare! I'm looking forward to his martial skills demonstration later."

  At this time, several other deacons also heard what Hong Fei said, and one by one they all showed shocked and puzzled expressions.

  Hong Fei, why praise a junior so much?

  As for Hong Fei's character, everyone is crystal clear. Hong Fei is a person who rarely smiles and is extremely serious. Normally, no one has ever seen or heard him praise his juniors. But today...

  Behind the seven stewards sat the enchanting Yafen, with a gleam of light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

  Her gaze also fell on Xia Yan's body.

  "How strange!"

  Yafen's heart skipped a beat.

  "Why is it that whenever I see this young man, I always think of Ling Luo?" Yafen's slender white fingers gently rubbed together.

  "His back figure..." Yafen's pupils suddenly enlarged, her small mouth slightly opened, "His back figure is exactly the same as Ling Luo! This..."

  In Ya Fen's heart, it was as if a tightly stretched string had been plucked heavily, causing her heart to beat violently and her chest to heave intensely.

  …………

  "Congratulations, Young Master Xia!" Wang Yu Yan and others said as soon as Xia Yan returned.

  She had expected that Xia Yan would have opened up all 108 meridians, so she didn't look surprised. Xia Yan heard her say this and smiled, saying "Thank you!"

  Not far away, Xi Qiushui hummed a sound from the tip of his nose, with a face full of disdain.

  "Let's have a match and see who's stronger!" Xi Qiushui was confident in his own "Nine Heavenly Funeral Sword".

  "Summer words..." Xia Zixing looked at Xia Yan, with ripples in her eyes.

  Xia Yan knew what she wanted to say and gently shook her head. Xia Zi Xin saw Xia Yan shake her head, so she pursed her lips and stopped asking.

  "Summer words...... Summer words......"

  The square all around, cheers thundering.

  Among the young people of Xia's family, there were also many unmarried women who came to the square, and their crisp cries were exceptionally loud.

  Upon hearing this voice, Xia Yan could only helplessly furrow his brow.

  Being strong and handsome, it's hard for him not to be popular among young women.

  Wang Yu Yan glanced around and said with a sour tone: "Xia Yan, be careful when you're walking on the streets from now on."

  "Why?"

  Wang Yu Yan slightly pouted and said: "Look at them, they're almost going crazy."

  At this time, it was no longer just the women of the Xia family who were frantically shouting, but also the women of the Xi and Wang families began to loudly call out Xia Yan's name. The cries for help spread like a tidal wave!

  It's hot!

  "Huh?" Xia Yan's body shook slightly.

  He saw that Yafen, dressed in a stunning evening gown on the high platform, was staring at him with an eye that seemed to have another meaning.

  "I'll practice my martial skills for a while, but I absolutely cannot use the Ling Luo Sword!" Xia Yan gathered his thoughts and became even more determined in his heart. This woman, Ya Fen, was too clever and had too many tricks up her sleeve. If Xia Yan used the Ling Luo Sword, he would definitely be recognized. Now, Ya Fen had already begun to suspect him.

  Just as Xia Yan had thought, Ya Fen was indeed trying to link him with Ling Luo.

  "Summer family, summer words. Break through the 108 meridians of martial arts. Next, the contestants begin to demonstrate their martial skills." Liu Fang's voice was like a loud bell, resonating throughout the entire venue.

  No way, if he had spoken a little softer, his voice would have been completely drowned out by that crazy shouting.

  "Next, please welcome Wang Jia Wang Yu to begin his martial arts performance!"

  This exercise of martial arts is the same as the sequence of internal force tested just now.

  Wang Yu heard Liu Fang call his name and walked out. His tender face had a layer of blush. After the internal force test, Wang Yu's pressure must have increased a lot. Originally he was also one of the best among the young sons of the Wang family, but today after testing his internal force, he found that there were many people in this Jade Water City who were better than him.

  If the next performance of martial arts is not particularly impressive, he may be eliminated.

  At the age of thirteen, Wang Yu thought that he might be eliminated, and the pressure in his heart was definitely not small.

  Wang Yu's martial skill was the "Pure Yang True Qi Sword". Among the non-flowing martial skills, it belonged to the superior category. Wang Yu walked into the arena, made some slight preparations, and then began to concentrate his mind, immersing himself in the sword technique, and started practicing with his sword in the arena.

  The moves were performed in a regular and orderly manner, without any flaws. However, the sword technique itself was not particularly impressive, and Wang Yu's performance, although flawless, would likely not score high with the Temple's judges.
