Chapter 69 Martial Arts Competition

After listening to the Great Elder's narration, Xiao Feng felt a little emotional. What the Great Elder and his father knew was actually incomplete.

Xiao Zhen knew clearly how powerful the Xiao clan used to be. A thousand years ago, under the leadership of their ancestor Xiao Xuan, they became the number one family on the continent. It was so glorious at that time.

"Now that you know all this, Zhen'er, what do you think now?" Xiao Lin said lightly.

Xiao Zhen shook his head. Was there any meaning behind telling him these things today?

Xiao Lin put a hand on Xiao Zhen's shoulder and said seriously: "Zhen'er, you are the most talented person in our family in the past hundred years. We have placed too much hope on you, so you must not have any accidents!"

Xiao Zhen lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Dad! I won't run around anymore."

Xiao Lin shook his head and explained, "I don't mean to lock you up at home. A flower in a greenhouse can never become a truly strong person. I just hope that you can understand the responsibilities and burdens that you bear."

Xiao Zhen nodded his head and said seriously: "Dad, from today on, I will start to practice seriously. I will not fall behind in alchemy. I will become a big man who shakes the world like my name!"

"Good! You are worthy of being my son, Xiao Lin. Zhen'er, don't worry, I have already arranged everything for you. You will go to the Alchemist Guild to study every morning, and when you go home in the afternoon, the elders or I will personally teach you how to practice."

What? It was arranged long ago. Xiao Zhen seemed to feel that he had been fooled, but he had to jump into this pit today.

Xiao Lin and the Great Elder looked at each other and laughed in their hearts. Ever since this kid became a fighter, he has been slow in training. If he wasn't also working as a part-time alchemist, he would have been given a devilish training package.

From that day on, Xiao Zhen went to the Alchemist Guild every morning to exchange experiences with other alchemists and refine some pills to improve his own level.

Every afternoon there are two hours of practice time, plus half an hour of actual combat. I can no longer be as carefree as before.

More than two years passed in a flash, and at this time, Xiao Zhen had become a nine-star fighter and a third-grade alchemist.

At the Xiao family martial arts arena, when the sun is about to set, the place is already crowded with people.

"Watch me, my Thunder Kicks!" Xiao Zhen used his strongest fighting skill and attacked his father.

Xiao Lin smiled slightly, and blue lightning also emanated from his legs. He used the same fighting skills as Xiao Zhen.

The legs of the father and son kept crossing each other in the air, and the sound of the collision was crackling!

However, Xiao Zhen still lacked experience and was a little slow, so he was ruthlessly kicked out of the court by his father.

Xiao Zhen held his stomach and climbed up, saying angrily: "Dad, you're too harsh. Today is my 15th birthday, can't you care about me a little bit!"

Xiao Lin put his hands behind his back and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, you can't blame me for this. It's because you are not good enough in learning. I have already lowered my cultivation level to the same level as you, but you are still no match for me!"

Xiao Zhen said speechlessly: "If you hadn't suppressed your cultivation, based on your previous level, I would have been kicked to death by you."

Die stepped forward to support Xiao Zhen and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said confidently: "Don't worry, Sister Die, my body is very strong, and I can just take a second-grade healing pill when the time comes!"

Now Die is nominally Xiao Zhen's maid. In public, Die usually calls Xiao Zhen "Young Master", but in private, the two call each other brother and sister.

When Xiao Zhen secretly brought Die home for the first time, Xiao Lin and his wife were scared.

Xiao Zhen's mother immediately burst into tears. It turned out that her son rejected so many ladies from wealthy families because of this hobby. It was all her fault for not educating her son well.

Xiao Lin's approach was even more direct and brutal, and he was about to give Xiao Zhen a fatherly iron fist.

However, after they knew Die's identity, they still reluctantly accepted Die, especially her strength as a Dou Huang, which made the couple shut up. It was also a skill for their son to bring a Dou Huang home.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan was holding a one-year-old boy, with little Xiao Ding beside him. The boy was eating candy at the moment, looking innocent and quite cute.

Xiao Zhen saw his eldest brother and his two sons, and walked over to greet him.

Xiao Zhan looked at his good brother with great envy. He was only a seven-star fighter now and had long been surpassed by Xiao Zhen. As the eldest brother, he really felt a little ashamed.

Xiao Lin was very happy to see his two little grandsons coming. He immediately hugged them in his arms and kissed each of them. This might be what people call the affection between generations!

Xiao Lin glanced at Xiao Zhen and also felt sad about this boy. This boy has reached the age to get married, but he doesn't want to marry so many ladies from wealthy families, and instead gets involved with a snake person. The key point is that he can't beat that girl, so there is no way to break them up.

And Die is indeed a nice girl, beautiful and gentle. How great it would be if she were a human!

Xiao Lin had also specifically inquired about this and found out that children born between humans and snake people usually don't live long. He didn't want to see the tragedy between Xiao Zhen and Die.

Xiao Zhen also noticed Xiao Lin's look and asked in confusion: "Dad, what's that look?"

"Hi! Nothing. Today is your birthday. Ask the chef at home to cook some delicious dishes to make everyone happy." Xiao Lin smiled awkwardly.

At the dinner table, Xiao Zhen was wolfing down his food like crazy. He had consumed a lot today and it was his birthday as well. He would feel a little sorry for himself if he didn't make up for it with a good meal.

"Zhen'er, what do you think about the genius competition in a few days?" Xiao Lin asked strangely.

Xiao Zhen had just swallowed a piece of beef monster meat and casually replied, "Are you talking about the genius competition jointly organized by the Yunlan Sect and the royal family?"

Xiao Lin nodded and smiled: "Yes, that's it!"

Xiao Zhen sneered and said speechlessly: "What else can I do? Of course I'll just watch the show from the audience. Otherwise, what else would I do? Do you still want me to come on stage and compete with you?"

Xiao Lin nodded in satisfaction and asked calmly, "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhen carefully examined Xiao Lin's expression and shouted in disbelief: "Old man, you are crazy!"

Xiao Lin shook his head and said solemnly: "Don't underestimate yourself. I have seen your performance over the past two years. I still have a little confidence in you!"

Xiao Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said, "Do you know that the age requirement for this competition is under 25 years old, which means that I may meet someone who is ten years older than me!

And I heard from the grapevine that there will be several great fighting masters on stage. If I go, won’t I just be tortured? What if I accidentally get killed on the stage? "

Xiao Lin drank a glass of wine happily and laughed: "What are you afraid of, kid? A truly strong person must have the courage to challenge everything and a firm belief."

Xiao Zhen looked at his father and felt a little strange that he could say so many truths. So he asked solemnly:

"Dad, tell me the truth, have you already signed me up?"

Xiao Lin laughed heartily and said, "At that time, I accidentally drank a few more cups with that old guy Nalan Jie. He instigated me and I accidentally signed you up."
