C22

Day after day passed, and the Clan's Sword Testing Assembly finally arrived.

The huge stadium was surrounded by people, and everyone was excitedly discussing who would win first place in this year's Trial. Some smart people even set up a bet, and most people bet that Li Jie would become the first in the outer hall, which would eventually be sucked into the inner hall.

Suddenly, a skinny boy in black clothing entered her line of sight. The girl's forehead showed a hint of happiness, and when she wanted to run over, she suddenly thought of something and stopped in her tracks. She silently clenched her fists, and stood there looking at the boy's nonchalant appearance.

Just as Li Chen was about to enter the venue, he was surprised to see a familiar figure in the crowd. The girl was wearing a long yellow dress as she stood there like an early spring flower.

As if having been noticed, the young girl turned around in a sorry state and was about to leave.

"Li …" "Lu?" Li Chen quickly called out to his little sister, but because he hadn't seen her for a long time, his voice sounded a little strange.

Li Lu stood up, looking at Li Chen getting closer and closer. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

"Why are you here?" Li Chen unconsciously slowed his tone.

"I was just passing by!" The evasive look in her eyes revealed the guilt in her heart. What pass by? This place was thousands of miles away from her home, she would never pass by this place no matter how she went. It was just that she didn't know how to express her concern.

The corner of Li Chen's mouth slightly curled up. His mood became better. He looked at his little sister and said, "Since you're passing by, then don't leave. Let's go back after Big Brother's competition!"

Even Li Chen felt nostalgic when he said the two words "big brother". It had been a very long time since he had spoken to Li Lu like this …

Li Lu neither answered nor immediately denied it. On the other hand, someone at the side saw Li Chen and mocked him: "Hey!" Isn't this the trash of our family, Li Chen? Why are you here to participate in this sword test as well! "

"You're not allowed to say that my brother is trash!" Before Li Chen could say anything, Li Lu shouted back to him like a tigress protecting her cub.

That person was shaken by Li Lu's roar, and immediately said disdainfully: "Trash is trash! Could it be that if they don't say it, then they won't be trash! "

"You!" Li Lu's eyes were red from anger. He wanted to curse at him, but he felt a warm power from his hands, so he looked down to see Li Chen holding his hand tightly. She raised his head to look at Li Chen, only to see Li Chen coldly looking at him and saying, "Why do you have to be like a bunch of wild dogs? Let's go! "

Li Lu seemed to have calmed down a lot. She glared at the person who spoke and followed Li Chen.

After walking for a while, Li Chen found a quiet place and pushed Li Lu onto a seat. "Don't be angry. If you're angry, you'll turn ugly. If you turn ugly, you won't be the Little Princess anymore …"

The words that seemed to be teasing a child made Li Lu laugh involuntarily. "I've already grown up, why would I need you to coax me like a child?" As she spoke, his voice unconsciously lowered. Once upon a time, when Li Chen had held her in his hands like that, when had she become an enemy to him?

Li Chen caressed Li Lu's hair and smiled, "Idiot, in big brother's eyes, you will forever be a child …"

At this moment, the Trial had already started reading out the names of the participants. Li Chen paused for a moment and said, "I will go to the arena first. Be obedient and wait for me here."

Li Lu glanced at Li Chen and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll wait for you …"

"Li Chen!"

When he just happened to read Li Chen's name, Li Chen answered and slowly walked onto the stage.

The number of participants in this year's outer hall's Sword Testing Meeting was a total of twenty people. Only those who had achieved first place would have the qualification to enter the inner hall and enter the inner hall, which was considered one of the recognized martial artists in the family. This was the opportunity that many of the youths wanted.

On the stage, Li Jun watched as Li Chen stepped forward step by step. His eyes were filled with killing intent as she said to Li Chen, "I advise my younger cousin to step back!" Otherwise, the blades will have no eyes, and if I accidentally hurt my cousin, it would not be good! "

Li Chen disdainfully retorted, "All you can do is talk back."

Li Ji was furious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Chen say, "But you did remind me that swords and sabers have no eyes. When I meet my cousin, I will not show mercy!"

Just as Li Ji was about to speak, he heard the elder who presided over this Sword Testing Meeting call for him.

One of the women wore a veil on her face and beside her stood a handsome young man who seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. He said to the young girl with a bit of boredom, "The Li family's outer hall's Sword Testing Competition is really not interesting. If nothing goes wrong, this year will be the outer hall's Li jie."

The young girl pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't comment in her heart. She didn't know that after searching all over the Li family inner hall, this guy was hiding in the outer hall. If she didn't look for him in the outer hall, she might have missed this good show.

"Speaking of which, why are you so interested in the External Clan?"

The young girl wearing the veil was the Ning Clan's Princess, Ning Caifu. The man beside her was the Li Clan's inner court's number two, Li Cheng. Li Chen and Li Chen had a one-tone difference, so Ning Caifu went to the wrong person.

Ning Caifu smiled. "I'm just curious because I've never seen him before. If you're bored, you can leave."

Li Cheng shook his head and said, "I said that I would accompany you to come here. Naturally, I want to accompany you to read it all."

The twenty people on the training field had already started drawing lots. The rules of this competition was that twenty people would be divided into ten groups, with each two people being in the same group.

After drawing the lot, Li Chen looked at the number in his hand. # 10, he really hoped that he could match Li jie in the first match. If he couldn't, he still needed to accumulate strength to prevent himself from meeting him again.

"Li Tang, Li Chen, number ten!"

Li Chen looked at the person who was also called out. He was a seventeen or eighteen year old youth, tall and thin. When he saw Li Chen look over, he smiled at him to show his friendliness.

Li Chen had no impression of this person. There were many people in the External Clan, and it was not enough for them to not know each other. However, Li Chen was a special existence and there were many people who did not know him.

He just didn't know how strong this young man was.

The match had already begun. The two of them bowed to each other and then began to test each other out.

Most of those who hadn't entered the inner chamber at the age of seventeen or eighteen were people with poor talent. Li Chen let out a sigh, and his gaze turned towards Li Zhan. Li Jun's opponent seemed to be ordinary in strength, but after a few chapters, he was defeated.

Li Chen shook his head as he looked at Li Lu, whose eyes were filled with expectation. He had to wash away his shame today. He then looked at the young man in front of him and said softly, "Sorry for offending you!"

Before Li Tang could understand what Li Chen meant, he saw the youth's fingers suddenly contain white spirit energy. Then he saw the youth's speed suddenly increase as he swiftly struck his own chest.

Li Tang's body immediately flew out of the arena.

The audience suddenly fell silent, and most of the people's gazes fell upon Li Ji. They were all shocked by this sudden action, and as they looked at the black-clothed youth, they suddenly couldn't help but let out a sound as if someone had pressed down a button, and then burst into heated discussion.

"Who is that young man?" How did you win so quickly? "

"You don't even know the trash of the outer hall, Li Chen!?" "How ignorant!"

"Trash Li Chen? You said that the person who punched him out of the arena was trash? If he's trash, then what are we? "

"How is this possible!?" He was clearly a piece of trash! Have you forgotten that in the test not long ago, there was a broken bridge?! "

He suspiciously looked at Ning Caifu, only to see a hint of surprise suddenly appearing in the girl's usually cold eyes. He suddenly thought back to the first time he had met the girl, and at that time, he suddenly received an invitation from Ning Caifu, saying that he had something to discuss with her and that Ning Caifu's face was clearly disappointed when she saw him. Could it be that this Li Chen was actually the person Ning Caifu was really looking for?

Ning Caifu was truly happy. She looked at the upright young man standing on the stage, and listened to the referee adjudicate this young man to enter the next round. Her heart was as excited as it was when she had become a Pulse Breaking Mysterious Scholar!

She took a deep breath. She knew it all, how could that youth be a piece of trash! The one who could shatter the crystal nucleus with a single palm from a brown bear on the ground … How could he be a piece of trash!?

On the stage, Li Lu covered her small mouth in surprise. She did not expect her brother to be so powerful. Looking at the silent youngster, her chest began to violently tremble from the excitement …

"Bam!"

A loud sound came from Li Jun's side. It was the sound of her opponent getting kicked off the stage. However, compared to the shock that Li Chen brought to the audience, everyone's reaction to Li Jun was much smaller.

Li Jun glanced at Li Chen provocatively, only to see Li Chen raise the corner of his mouth. His expression was as sarcastic as it could be. Li Jun's expression instantly became gloomy, and even the joy of victory couldn't cover up his anger.

The first round of the competition had ended. According to the results of the competition, there were five contestants who had advanced, one of them would draw a blank lot, and the person who drew the lot would not even need to fight, but would directly enter the next round and would have the qualification to fight for the top three.

The person who drew the lot was undoubtedly lucky, but even if they were lucky, no one would think that it was unfair. This was because before the match, there was a rule that stated that luck was also a part of one's strength.

Unfortunately, Li Chen and Li Jun weren't the lucky ones.
