Chapter 58: Songwen Sword, Haoyun's Three Choices

  "What about Father... what happened to him later?" asked Xiǎo Qiǎo Xǔ Yuè, who had been silent for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

  Qingyuan is a proud child, he was defeated by Xinghai and became a useless person, so he didn't want to stay in Linwan City and be ridiculed by his former inferiors. So on the second day, he left a note and slipped out of the city alone, disappearing without a trace.

  Xu Yu listened, and big tears welled up in her eyes.

  "Mo Shi broke up my parents, abolished Father Xing Hai, and forced me to marry the Xu family..." Xu Yu sobbed, "It's really too much! Wuu... I also want to cultivate the mysterious! Brother, I want to get stronger with you and seek justice from Mo Shi."

  Xu Yang stroked her head and said softly: "Little Yu wants to cultivate Xuan, brother will naturally help you."

  Xu Changling sighed softly, an ordinary little girl who wasn't even a Xuan disciple wanted to seek justice from the powerful Mo clan, this was simply an extremely difficult path. Xu Yu said so, but she was like a newborn calf not fearing tigers, completely unaware of the Mo clan's ferocity.

  However, if Xu Yu wants to cultivate the mysterious, she will definitely get the best conditions, which is beyond doubt. If a little girl's talent and wisdom can be compared to half of her father and brother, then she is also a talented person.

  Chen Nian's past was now clear, and Xu Changling then informed Xu Yang in detail about the selection of Haiyun Temple.

  Haiyun Temple selects, layer by layer, and advances with exceptional strictness. Every three years on the winter solstice, Haiyun Temple sends a special envoy to the various branch temples in the lower countries to preside over the "pre-selection" affairs.

  After the preliminary selection, it is "mid-selection", which takes place in the capital of the vassal state. The young talents from each city of the kingdom compete with each other in the capital, and the excellent ones will obtain the qualification to go to Ha Yun Shang Guo to participate in the "final selection".

  This process is called "Three Selections", and those who can pass the Three Selections are all geniuses from all over the world, with one in a million being a freak-level genius. Every year, the cultivators who graduate from Haiyun Academy will be vigorously recruited by Haiyun Upper Country and various vassal states, so passing through the "Three Selections" is also known as "Dragon Gate", where one can transform into a true dragon!

  "In less than a month, it will be the preliminary selection period of Haiyun Academy. Last time, the special envoy of Haiyun Academy only selected one talented young man from the Ge family, out of 100,000 people, with only one quota! I don't know if there will be any changes this time, Yang Er, you must work hard." Xu Changling said with a heavy heart.

  "Father, rest assured. Yang Er's current strength is no less than that of Ge Wei Yue, who was chosen last time. The hope is great." said Xu Qing Lian.

  "Each time the situation is different, it's said that this time, the Yu family's Yu Xuanyu, and the Ge family's Ge Weifeng, are both among the top four extreme Xuan veins, and they have already reached the middle stage of Xuan mastery, with combat strength that's not ordinary. Compared to last time when Ge Wei was the sole standout, this competition can be said to be extremely fierce." Xu Changling didn't feel at ease, he had already staked his family's fate on Xu Yang, and even with his Xuan sect mindset, he felt a bit apprehensive.

  "Grandfather can rest assured," Xuyang said calmly, as if stating a fact. "Although I haven't seen Yu Xuanyu before, but Ge Weifeng, this person, my son has already met him, there's no need to worry."

  Xu Changling looked at Xu Yang and said, "Oh? It seems that Yang'er has another trump card, which is why he's so confident. Good." Although it was his first time meeting Xu Yang, through the descriptions of Xu Qingfang and Xu Zhengxin, he had a general understanding of Xu Yang's personality. Calm, indifferent, unless he had absolute confidence, Xu Yang would never make reckless judgments.

  After talking for a while, Xu Qing sent someone to report that the results of the family competition had been announced. Except for Xu Yang getting first place ahead of time, Xu Zhengchun outdid his peers and took second place.

  "The first prize for this competition is a Human-tier Mystic artifact, the Songwen Sword," said Xu Qingyue. "Xu Yang, you haven't learned swordsmanship before, have you? If you think it's not suitable, you can choose any Human-tier Mystic artifact from the family treasury instead."

  As they spoke, Xu Qingyu's fingers flickered and a cold light flashed, a blue steel long sword appeared in his hand.

  "Wow, so amazing." Xǔ Yú clapped her hands on the side.

  "This is a storage ring, much more convenient than a leather pouch," Xǔ Qīng Yuè deliberately wanted to make up for his debt to Xǔ Yáng, took off the black ring on his left index finger and handed it over to Xǔ Yáng. "There are some medium-grade xuan stones inside that can be used for cultivation, as well as the family's transmission method [Seven Luminaries Treasure Refined]. Take it, from now on this ring belongs to you."

  Xu Yang hadn't spoken yet, but Xu Yu had already smiled sweetly and taken the ring: "Thank you, Aunt!" She was afraid that Xu Qing would regret it, so she quickly handed the ring to Xu Yang.

  This little money enthusiast...

  Xu Yang's forehead had a bead of sweat, he rubbed his little sister's hair on her forehead, smiled slightly, took over the storage ring, and thanked Xu Qinglian.

  The storage ring is very precious, but for a gentleman like Xu Qinglie, once the words are out, there's no going back. Xu Yu has somewhat judged him with a woman's heart.

  Xu Yang was delighted, compared to the Human-tier Mystic equipment, Rongwen Sword, he preferred this storage ring. This was a treasure that only a Master Craftsman could refine, although it didn't have the quality of a Mystic equipment, but it was comparable to an Earth-tier Mystic equipment.

  At the same time, Xu Yang took over the sword with a loose texture. As soon as he touched the hilt, a familiar feeling surged up, and he lightly shook it. Seven beautiful sword flowers bloomed, arranged in a seven-star pattern.

  Xu Qinglie couldn't help but cheer, saying: "Great swordsmanship! I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so exquisite, Xu Yang. Just this one move, without ten years of hard work, it's absolutely impossible to master."

  Xu Yu and Xu Changling were also a bit strange, they didn't know that Xu Yang was good at swordsmanship either.

  Later generations were lacking in mysterious abilities, and it was difficult for the mysterious ones to break through their boundaries. As a result, the methods of refining one's body, fist and footwork, and martial arts techniques became popular. Xu Yang having such sword skills was also due to the environment at that time.

  "Mystic iron forged, with three strands of mystic pattern embedded within... Light Shadow, Iron Cutter, and Fierce Wind. Not a bad mystic device." Xǔ Yáng thought to himself as he observed the refining technique of the Songwen Sword.

  When refining a mysterious device, the refiner will embed a series of "mysterious patterns" that contain profound principles based on the material. Generally speaking, the more "mysterious patterns" a mysterious device has, the higher its grade. Of course, this is not absolute, and it also depends on the power of the "mysterious patterns" and their combination.

  Although "Light Shadow Pattern", "Iron Cutting Pattern" and "Fierce Wind Pattern" are all ordinary mysterious patterns, a sword made of mysterious iron material can be engraved with three mysterious patterns, which is already quite good. This pine-patterned sword can be considered a top-grade human-tier mystical device.

  "Thank you, Uncle. I'm very satisfied with this pine-patterned sword, so I won't need to exchange it." Xǔ Yáng put the storage ring on his left hand's index finger, and with a flash of thought, stored the pine-patterned sword in the ring.

  "As long as you're satisfied," Xu Qing stroked his beard and chuckled, "Recently, I'll order someone to renovate the old house where you live, add some furniture, and assign some servants to serve you."

  PS: Thanks to [Loli Master], ["╮You are safe and sound, it's a sunny day"], [Jianqiao 521], [Minus 5°C] and other brothers and sisters for their full praise. Thank you [Xue Lian 123] for the reward of 100 Fantasy Coins!
