Chapter Fifteen Three Swords

  The silence lasted for a while, and then the crowd suddenly burst into a loud murmur. Every member of the Xia family was shocked and discussing with each other. The shock that Xia Yan brought to everyone today was too great, and anyone was shaken by this huge contrast, their hearts trembling!

  Even Xia Changhe, one of the three elders, couldn't calm his turbulent emotions for a long time.

  "Hooray!"

  The clan leader Xia Feilong suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes fixed on Xia Yan's body like nails, as if he wanted to see through what had happened to Xia Yan.

  "Congratulations! The Xia family has produced such a genius, it's truly something to be celebrated!"

  "Yes indeed! The Xia family will soon have another spiritual master!"

  "Hehe, this is also good fortune for our Jade Water City."

  “……”

  The Wang family representative and socialite of Yushui City all praised him.

  Xia Liu stood among the crowd of disciples, but his eyes revealed a jealous and resentful gaze, staring coldly at Xia Yan.

  "Xia Liuge, Xia Yan, how did you become so fierce?" Xia Youzhi, standing beside Xia Liu, licked his lips and said in a low voice.

  Xia had a goal, it was in the martial arts hall that he said if Xia Yan opened up his meridians, he would kowtow to him, that Xia family child, at that time he was mocking Xia Yan.

  "Hmph, he must have taken some precious elixir to unblock his meridians. However, the martial skills test is coming up soon, and even if he did unblock his meridians, it's impossible for him to master the skills in less than a year. Having internal energy but no skill is also not enough to get a recommendation from the family!" Xia Liu narrowed her eyes slightly, convinced that Xia Yan had taken some kind of precious elixir that could unblock meridians.

  "Xia Liangge is right, this Xia Yan must have taken the elixir!" Xia Youzhi's gaze swept over Xia Yan with malice.

  "Quiet!" Xia Fei Long raised his hands and shouted after responding to the audience with a few words.

  At that moment, the entire square fell silent. However, everyone's gaze remained fixed on Xia Yan without moving away. And Xia Yan also remained calm and composed.

  When their eyes met, both nodded and smiled. Although Xia Zixing also couldn't understand why Xia Yan suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, Xia Yan's transformation today made her very happy. She sincerely hoped that Xia Yan could stand out among the many sons of the Xia family. However, after hearing Xia Liu and Xia Youzhi's conversation, she also thought it was possible that Xia Yan had taken some kind of precious elixir.

  Otherwise, no one can go from not having opened up any martial meridians to opening up a hundred of them in less than a year.

  "Let's start selecting again!" Xia Fei Long said with his eyes scanning the surroundings before finally looking at Xia Gu Qiu.

  "The internal force test is over, next is the martial skills test!"

  Martial arts test, is to show off their own martial arts in the square. Forty-three summer family children who participated in the selection, most of whom practiced different martial arts. The martial arts practiced by Xia Zixing, Xia Liu and others are among the best among the disciples! Xia Zixing's practice was "Broken Jade Sword", which is considered a high-level technique among the non-entry secret books.

  Following the order of testing their inner strength, forty-three disciples took turns to demonstrate their martial skills. Due to the limitations of their inner strength, everyone's demonstrated martial skills had various flaws. The clan leader Xia Fei Long on the high platform, as well as the other elders, could naturally see at a glance the highs and lows of the realm of the disciples' demonstrated martial skills.

  As time passed, the forty-three young men finished their martial skills practice one by one. Among all the Xia family children, only a very small number of people kept their eyes on the children practicing martial skills. And Xia Yan was one of them.

  Xia Yan watched very carefully, everyone's martial skills practice, the weapons used were either knives, swords or guns, Xia Yan didn't miss any of them, he watched extremely seriously.

  As Xia Yan's eyes watched, his mind had already begun to practice along with it. Although he only saw it once, Xia Yan was able to remember these martial skills with great accuracy.

  In his mind, he was naturally refining those unorthodox martial skills!

  Among all the children who practiced martial arts, the ones who performed the best were Xia Zixing, Xia Liu, Xia Ming and Xia Yuyan. These few people also had the most outstanding inner strength among the Xia family's children.

  Martial arts require internal energy to exert their power, and normally, the higher the internal energy, the stronger the martial arts. Of course, there are exceptions, such as those who rely on elixirs to open up their meridians, whose martial arts may be ordinary; or those who have learned top-notch martial arts, who may also make astonishing moves.

  "One sword..."

  His footsteps were like a roaming dragon, his sword aura was like a long rainbow!

  "Two Swords..."

  Killing intent is rampant, murderous aura is vast!

  "Three Swords..."

  Shocking heaven and earth, crying ghosts and gods!

  In just a short span of time, roughly the time it takes to drink one-fifth of a cup of tea, Xia Yan, who was the last to take the stage, finished his performance.

  This performance of martial arts doesn't seem like a test of internal power that can be discerned at a glance. In this square, there are only a few dozen people who can understand Xia Yan's martial arts. Among these few dozen people, only a small portion can appreciate the subtleties contained within Xia Yan's sword techniques.

  "Xia Liang Ge, you were right as expected! Xia Yan this kid, indeed is not skilled in martial arts, and has only learned three sword techniques! Haha......" Xia Youzhi exclaimed excitedly after watching Xia Yan finish his practice.

  "Hmph, even if you've taken the elixir, you're still a useless thing. You dare to compete with us?" Xia Liu said disdainfully, nodding his head.

  But Xia Zixing, however, felt the extraordinary difference in Xia Yanzheng's swordsmanship. Although it was just three simple swords, they seemed to be perfectly natural and flawless! Xia Zixing secretly compared his own swordsmanship with Xia Yanzheng's and found that his own skills were utterly incomparable.

  "Could it be that he's learned a human-class secret recipe?" Xia Zixing wondered in her heart.

  After Xia Yan finished her performance, she naturally retreated to one side and waited for the final comments.

  The tribal elder on the high platform, a group of elderly people, a group of celebrities in the guest seat, representatives of the Wang and Xi families, all looked deeply at Xia Yan!

  "Head of the clan, have you seen Xia Yan's sword skills?" Wang Lan, the representative of the Wang family, couldn't help but ask.

  Xia Feilong glanced at Wang Lan and said, "Of course!"

  "If I'm not mistaken, the sword technique Xia Yan is practicing should be the 'Unparalleled Sword of Day and Night'! But how can this 'Unparalleled Sword of Day and Night' exert such power? As far as I know, even human-class secret techniques don't seem to have such power!" Wang Lan was really puzzled, her eyebrows furrowed together as she spoke.

  Xia Changhe heard this and his heart moved, "The 'Sun Moon Twin Swords', wasn't it the one I gave to Xia Yan? Listening to what these people from the Wang family are saying, it seems that Xia Yan is extremely powerful when using the 'Sun Moon Twin Swords'!"

  Xia Changhe, although an elder, couldn't see through Xia Yan's sword technique. Just now, he was still wondering in his heart why Xia Yan had only practiced three swords?

  "That's right, Xia Yan is indeed using the 'Sun and Moon Twin Swords'! Although there are only three swords, they contain all the essence of the 'Sun and Moon Twin Swords'." Xia Feilong said in a condensed voice.

  "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This Xia Yan, his future achievements will probably far surpass those of his father Xia Dongsheng!" exclaimed Xi Zijing, the representative of the Xi family.
