C12 (2/2)
The atmosphere of the entire Great Earth Hall was peaceful. There was no tension between the two.
Ever since Xu Duan De had been beaten unconscious, even though he had lost to Xu Zongyi, he was still in the Autumn Battlefield.
That time, he had indeed used all his strength, and even Xu Tianyi would not really have been able to expel him from the Autumn Battlefield.
”This is a valley token. The more pests you eliminate, the more merit points you will receive. At that time, the top three will be richly rewarded.” When everyone had finished gathering, Great Elder Xu Zhiyan appeared on top of the Great Earth Hall.
Bits and pieces of tokens fell from the sky, landing in front of every child present.
”Grand Elder, the more insect pests you remove, the more insect pests you will accumulate?” After receiving the command, Xu Zongyi was a little doubtful: ”If one side doesn't have bugs, then wouldn't the other side win?”
”How reckless.” Xu Duan De rolled his eyes when he heard this.
”Don't worry. When the time comes, we will have many different kinds of mutated beasts. It will depend on whether or not you can survive.” Xu Zhiyan smiled. Although he was Xu Tianmu's grandfather, he was also fair.
”Eh? ”First Elder, since the younger generation has already asked for it, let's change the rules. Otherwise, if we don't always increase the difficulty, there will be no point in training.” At this time, Xu Yueshen appeared. As the Second Elder, he also had the authority to do so.
”Second Elder, what kind of rules do you want to change?” Xu Zhiyan didn't have any objections, so he asked with a smile.
”Let's set up some spell formations so that these agricultural hazards can become a little more violent. How about we test them a little more?” Xu Yueshen's smile was very brilliant, but the children present were unable to laugh, ”This can be considered as nurturing them to resist pressure. What do you think? After all, the world today is different from before, and we can't follow the same method as before. ”
”Sure.” Xu Zhiyan thought for a moment and nodded. He looked at the children and said, ”Then do as Second Elder says and increase the difficulty.”
”Xu Zongyi, you're looking for death yourself, and you're actually implicating us?” On the spot, some of the children of the same age as him were extremely rude, and their words were filled with anger.
”Do you know how terrifying the venomous rat and insect ants in Heart Nurturing Valley are? And now you have caused us all to suffer double the number of insect beasts! ” It had originally been many of their peers who didn't have the slightest bit of goodwill towards Xu Zongyi, but now, they were even more disgusted.
”As expected of the lowly bloodline of the sinful blood. They only know how to implicate others.” Whether it was the Spring Festival, the Summer Palace, the Autumn Battlefield, or even the Winter Court, many of their peers were extremely dissatisfied with Xu Zongyi.
Xu Yueshen did this on purpose, making him the target of public criticism. This was something that no one noticed. After all, no one would have thought that someone with the status of Second Elder would go against Xu Zongyi.
Xu Zhengdao patted his shoulder as he looked at the rest of them. Then, he shouted, ”Wouldn't it be fine if you were to scram to the other side of us if you were afraid of death? Why are you cursing? ”Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss. I will hack you back into your mother's womb with my sword.”
Those who had originally wanted to scold Xu Zongyi no longer dared to speak. Xu Zhengdao was extremely powerful, and if he were to say anything, they would not dare to provoke him.
”Wow, Zhengdao is angry.”
”He looks so handsome when he's angry.”
”Even scolding has such a temperament. It's just that wherever there is a path of righteousness is a victory. A bunch of weaklings complain whenever they encounter difficulties.” A group of female students from the Four Academies were extremely infatuated with Xu Zhengdao, causing those who were scolded to almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
In fact, these girls also understood that Xu Zhengdao might not be useful in dealing with many strange beasts like the insect, snake, rat, and ant. The Xia Family had a deep understanding of the ways of growing plants, so many children chose to follow Xu Tianmu.
Xu Tianmu and Xu Tianyi were both together, and those who wished to take more tests naturally stayed with Xu Zhengyi and Xu Zhengdao. However, there weren't many of them.
”Heartbutterfly, you should come as well, right?” At this time, Xu Tianmu also spoke up.
This was because this training field would be divided into different camps and they would be competing with each other.
”No need, this place is pretty good. I don't like it being too noisy.” Xu Xindie shook her head. Xiao E also came along with her. During these days, Xiao E had displayed her shocking talent and had already stepped into the peak of Qi Drawing, just a step away from Qi Drawing.
In addition, there were also a few female disciples who truly admired Xu Zhengdao, as well as some people who were not afraid of danger.
But in total, there were less than 30 people, and there were over 70 people facing them.
In the past, the number of people on both sides had always been equal. However, they had never expected that there would be such a huge disparity.
When Xu Zhiyan saw this scene, he looked towards Xu Zongyi, Xu Zhengdao, Xu Xindie, and the rest as he slowly said, ”If that's the case, is there something wrong with it?”
”There is nothing wrong with that. A person who fears death doesn't deserve to be with us.” Xu Zongyi was extremely resolute. Before this, he already had a basic understanding of the tempering of the Heart Nurturing Valley.
Upon hearing Xu Zongyi's words, the expressions of many of their peers turned ugly, feeling that he was boasting shamelessly.
”He simply doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.” Xu Pinghou sneered, ”You will understand then how ignorant you are.”
Xu Zongyi did not know what kind of terrifying things were going to happen in Heartrest Valley, but he still had the confidence to deal with whatever came his way.
”That's fine too. Remember, come with me. You guys follow the Second Elder.” As soon as Xu Zhiyan finished his sentence, two flying eagles that were about three hundred meters tall suddenly appeared in the sky.
The Flying Eagle was a strange beast that had been raised by the Xu family in Taihang Mountains. It was used for transportation purposes. Xu Zongyi watched with excitement in his heart: ”I wonder when I'll be able to get my own mount?”
The moment the Flying Eagle landed on the ground, a strong wind blew and the clothes on everyone's bodies fluttered in the wind. If it weren't for the fact that they were all quite strong, any normal child would have been blown away by the wind.
Its huge wings were lowered, forming a staircase, allowing everyone to climb its body.
Xu Zhiyan flew up and was already on its back.
Xu Xindie, Xu Zhengdao had long since gotten used to it and was strolling leisurely.
Xiao E patted Xu Zongyi on the shoulder and said, ”No matter what, we will definitely get through this together.”
”Of course.” Xu Zongyi gave a carefree smile, completely disapproving of the insults those people had given him.
When everyone was standing on top of the Flying Eagle's body, Xu Tianyan immediately began to drive it. He saw it rise into the sky and shoot straight into the sky.
A curtain of light enveloped everyone, preventing all the children present from being flung away. Even in the sky, they were still as steady as Mt. Tai.
This was the first time in Xu Zongyi's life that he had experienced it, and his blood was boiling.
As the Flying Eagle rapidly ascended, he felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. This kind of feeling was too refreshing!
Due to the enveloping light screen, the wind pressure did not have any effect on the crowd, so they could not feel the wind at all.
Standing on top of the Flying Eagle and looking down from above, one could see the wide distribution of the Xu family.
From top to bottom, the farmhouse of the Xu family was a large city that took up a huge amount of land.
But outside of the city, there were circular terraced fields. They spread out layer by layer from top to bottom. There were many plants planted on each layer, and the division of labor was very detailed.
This was Xu Zongyi's first time seeing a panoramic view of the Xu family, and in the past, he had only seen it on a map.
In the south, there was a deep valley shrouded in mist. It covered an extremely wide area, and there were many secrets hidden within.
The Flying Eagle flapped its wings and flew through the air. In less than an incense stick of time, it had landed in one of the areas in the Heart Cultivating Valley, where everything was covered in red grass.
All of these Spirit Gathering Grass were as good as the kids present here. Although they were all of red rank, they were all crops of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Xu Zongyi looked around him carefully. The place they were about to reach was at the edge of Heart Rejuvenation Valley. There was a small stream in the west, and the rest of it was surrounded by dense forest.
The Flying Eagle descended from the sky, and Xu Yangyan had all of the children come down. He pointed out his finger, and after activating some hidden array, he left a message, ”In forty-nine days, I will come again to pick you up.”
The Flying Eagle was extremely fast, and in a flash, it disappeared from their sight. Just as the children were about to regain their balance, a hissing sound came from all directions. Xu Zhengdao looked over and shouted, ”Everyone be careful, it's the Flaming Snake …”
