Chapter Thirteen: Jingwu Plaza

  Xia Yan nodded calmly with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, saying: "The selection of excellent young men has already begun for some time, let's hurry to the Jingwu Plaza!"

  As for Xia Mo's astonishment, Xia Yan could completely understand it. In fact, if the entire Jade Water City knew that he was going to participate in the Summer Family's Excellent Disciple Selection, there wouldn't be many who wouldn't be astonished.

  "Xia Yan, you... I'm worried about the elder ones..." Xia Mo Fei looked at Xia Yan and hesitated to speak.

  Xia Yan knew what he wanted to say, and shook his head nonchalantly, saying confidently: "I will make him shocked, I will make all the Xia family look at me with new eyes! My mother's last wish, I will complete one by one! Today's Xia Yan is no longer the Xia Yan of yesterday."

  When he said these words, Xia Yan's gaze naturally fell on the ring on his finger, and his whole body emitted an inexplicable aura. This aura gave Xia Mo Fei a shocking feeling. In the past, when Xia Mo Fei saw Xia Yan, he always felt a weak and quiet atmosphere, but today, Xia Mo Fei had a heart-shaking feeling.

  On Xia Family's Jingwu Plaza, the internal energy test of 42 family children is underway. 42 family children have already finished testing their internal energy, with more than half of them having completed it.

  "Next, Xia Liu!" Xia Guqiu stood not far from the giant round stone, calling out names one by one. The disciples who had finished the test all stood quietly to the side, their faces showing different expressions. Some were delighted, while others worried!

  The triennial selection of excellent young family members is extremely important in the hearts of all Xia family children. The top five are the goal of every young Xia family member! After one test, many people's positions will undergo tremendous changes!

  "Wow!"

  Suddenly a burst of gasps and exclamations erupted from the crowd surrounding the square.

  Xia Liu's face was filled with pride, his hands pressed on the round stone, his body slightly crouched, his palms slowly exerting force, and the round stone kept rolling backwards! The engraved scale in the groove was constantly increasing!

  Fifty

  Sixty...

  Seventy...

  The sudden commotion around the square was because Xia Liu had already pushed the round stone to seventy degrees. This number of seventy degrees indicates that Xia Liu has opened up seventy meridians in his body.

  At this time, Xia Liu's face gradually flushed with blood, and the blue veins on his arm throbbed violently. However, the boulder continued to roll.

  Seventy-five

  Eighty...

  "Xia Liu, indeed the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Xia family! At such a young age, he has already opened up eighty meridians of martial arts!" The representatives of the Wang and Xi families in the guest seats couldn't help but think to themselves, their eyes shining with admiration.

  "This Xia Liu is actually as prosperous as Xia Dongsheng back then!"

  Tribe leader Xia Feilong also nodded slowly, his approval evident on his face.

  "Ah!"

  Finally, Xia Liu's body leaped into the air and landed beside the round stone. The massive round stone slowly returned to its original state with a rumbling sound of grinding and friction. Xia Liu had successfully opened up eighty-nine meridians in his body! This impressive achievement was met with thunderous applause that shook the ground!

  Xia Liu's gaze swept around in a circle, his hands clenched into fists, and he bowed to the high platform. Although he tried his best to control it, the joy on his face still seeped out.

  Before him, the best of Xia family's juniors had only managed to open up seventy-five meridians. And he, in one go, pushed the rounded stone to eighty-nine marks! Apparently, the face of the Xia family looked much better in front of the representatives of the Wang and Xi families.

  At this moment, Xia Liu's eyes suddenly focused and his eyebrows furrowed. He saw two figures gradually appearing on the square, becoming clearer and clearer. Upon closer inspection, the two people who had just appeared were none other than Xia Yan and Xia Mo Fei!

  After a moment, most people in the square saw Xia Yan and Xia Mo flying.

  "What brings you here this summer?" Elder Xia Lai's gaze was fixed on Xia Yan.

  "What about Xia Yan?" The three elders, Xia Changhe, changed their expression, first showing a slight joy, and then revealing a worried look! Xia Yan had said before that he would participate in the selection of excellent young men in the family this year.

  "Hmph, ignorant child!" Xia Guqiu coldly snorted, scolding in her heart.

  In those few breaths, almost everyone's gaze on the square turned to Xia Yan and Xia Mo Fei who had just appeared. Xia Yan was dressed in tattered clothes, even more disheveled than the beggars on the street, which made many people snort disdainfully from their nostrils.

  The representatives of the Wang and Xi families, as well as the celebrities of Yushui City, also looked at the two young men from the Xia family who had just entered the Jingwu Plaza with some surprise.

  Xia Yan did not have a special expression due to everyone's gaze. He walked slowly to the center of the square and bowed deeply to the high platform.

  "Clan leader, esteemed elders, Xia Yan was busy with his cultivation and couldn't arrive early, please forgive him." Xia Yan said in a calm and steady voice, slightly bowing his head.

  Xia Mo flew beside Xia Yan and bowed deeply towards the high platform. Then, in a low voice, he said to Xia Yan: "Xia Yan, I'll go take a look at the stage first!"

  Under the gaze of so many eyes, Xia Mo Fei felt a lot of pressure! He and Xia Yan entered Jing Wu Plaza together, which might lead to misunderstandings among many clan members, so Xia Mo Fei wanted to quickly leave Xia Yan's side.

  "Good!" Xia Yan nodded and said.

  He knew what Xia Mofei was thinking in his heart, which was normal. Even Xia Zixing didn't want to get too close to himself, let alone Xia Mofei? Being able to talk to him for a few words when no one else was around without pushing him away was already rare enough.

  "Xia Yan, what are you doing here?" The clan leader and elders had not yet spoken when Xia Guqiu loudly rebuked him, "The test is currently underway, quickly move to the side!"

  "I also have the qualifications to participate in this selection, I will participate in this selection!" Xia Yan's eyes stared straight at Xia Guqiu, without any intention of retreating!

  Xia Guqiu was taken aback for a moment, and he actually felt a little guilty under Xia Yan's gaze.

  "Hooligan, you haven't even opened up a single meridian! Participating in the selection? Haha..." Xia Guqiu sneered with anger and disdain.

  "Alas..." The three elders, Xia Changhe, let out a long sigh in his heart.

  "Now that Xia Yan has arrived, let him participate in this selection as well!" The patriarch, Xia Feilong, flashed his eyes and quickly swept through the famous scholars from the Wang family, Xi family, and Yushui City.

  "Thank you, Chief!" Xia Yan said calmly!

  The square around, again low voice discussion.

  "This Xiaoyan is actually going to participate in this selection?"

  "Haha, was his brain kicked by a donkey? He hasn't even opened up one martial vein, how can he participate in the selection? Isn't this a joke? The Great Elder has always been dissatisfied with him, I'm afraid after a while..."

  "Let's just drop it, actually Xia Yan is quite pitiful. In the Xia family, although he is a direct descendant, he doesn't have any status at all!" A young man in his twenties who was a collateral descendant interrupted the person next to him.

  "Hmph!" Xia Guqiu let out a cold snort, her eyes slanted. "You stand behind everyone first, and wait for me to call you before coming over!"

  Xia Yan turned around and walked to the back of the more than ten family juniors who had not yet tested their inner strength, standing quietly with his eyes fixed on the front, as if nothing could affect him or shake him.

  Xia Zixin's lips, which were as red as cherries, pursed slightly as she gazed at Xia Yan. She opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. At this moment, she stood not far in front of Xia Yan. Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the tattered clothes on Xia Yan's body made her heart feel a little sour.

  "Next, Xia Ming!" Xia Guqiu continued to shout beside the round stone.
