The coming of age ceremony was a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it was very important.
The Li family's coming of age ceremony was held together with the Fang and Chen families, and this year was no exception.
This year, it was held at the Chen family's residence.
"Tian 'er, Kerr, after today, you will be adults."
Li Rou said to the young boy and girl beside her, her beautiful face full of love.
"Kerr, did you hear that? We will be adults in the future, and we can give birth to a grandson for mother to play with."
The young boy said to the girl beside him.
The latter blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment, speechless.
"Smelly brat, you wish!"
Li Rou glared at the young boy and said, "A granddaughter is not bad, she will be as beautiful as Kerr in the future …"
Originally, Duan Lingtian saw his mother's serious face and stopped teasing her, but when he heard his mother's last sentence, he was completely speechless.
Could this be hereditary?
"Did you hear that? Ninth Elder is about to have a grandson. After the coming of age ceremony, if you don't lose weight, I will break your legs! With your current body, which girl would dare to marry you? "
Not far away, Fifth Elder Li Ting was scolding the little fatty beside him. The latter had an innocent face and looked at the instigator with hidden bitterness.
Duan Lingtian turned his head and ignored him.
The coming of age ceremony was held once a year by the three big families of Fresh Breeze Town, and the participants were all youths who had just turned sixteen … Duan Lingtian, Kerr, and Li Xuan would all turn sixteen after today.
In the Chen family's residence, the spacious martial arts field was surrounded by the Chen family's disciples.
The heads of the Chen family, Li family, and Fang family were all standing on the stage in front of the martial arts field, in charge of hosting today's coming of age ceremony.
The coming of age ceremony was nothing more than a simple ceremony, but the most important one was the 'friendly martial arts competition' held after the ceremony.
The so-called friendly martial arts competition was for all the youths from the three big families of Fresh Breeze Town to participate in the martial arts competition. The top ten, top three, and first place would be decided, and the three families would prepare a reward together.
"Isn't that Duan Lingtian?"
Just as over a hundred young men and women were gathered on the Martial Arts Practice Field, some of the sharp-eyed Chen Family disciples recognized a young man standing among them.
"By the way, Duan Lingtian is also going to attend his coming of age ceremony this year."
"Looks like there's no suspense in this year's friendly martial arts competition. Duan Lingtian will definitely be the champion!"
"That's for sure. I'm afraid no one would dare to fight him."
…
The disciples of the Chen Clan discussed among themselves.
"He is Duan Lingtian?"
A Chen Clan disciple looked at the youth in the distance and was stunned.
Wasn't this young man the one who had come to the Chen Family's weapon shop to buy materials, and was suspected to have an Armament Master behind him?
Soon, the coming of age ceremony officially began!
After the simple ceremony, it was time for the Fresh Breeze Town's three Patriarchs to speak. They were all words of encouragement …
"How boring."
Duan Lingtian furrowed his brows as he listened to the story. The young girl beside him couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
"Boss, can I use inscriptions in the friendly battle after the Coming of Age Ceremony?"
The little fatty stood on the other side and asked in a soft voice.
"You can't use inscriptions except for our Li family members. You can deal with the others."
Duan Lingtian lazily said.
"Boss, if it wasn't for our Li family members, I wouldn't need to use inscriptions …"
The little fatty was so anxious that he was about to cry.
He didn't need inscriptions to deal with the youths from the Fang and Chen Clans. The problem was that there were a few children of the Li family elders who were participating in the coming of age ceremony.
He had no confidence in dealing with them!
"Who told you to be lazy!"
Glaring at the little fatty, Duan Lingtian felt rather helpless.
Although he concocted the Seven Treasures Body Tempering Liquid for Li Xuan, Li Xuan had a wild temperament and was completely unable to calm down to cultivate. Until now, he was still at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Stage.
The children of the other elders who were participating in the coming of age ceremony didn't have the same cultivation conditions as him. They only had the Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid, and they had all stepped into the fifth level of the Body Tempering Stage.
"Forget it. I don't have a chance to enter the top three, but I can at least enter the top ten."
The little fatty quickly got over it.
As far as he was concerned, being in the top three would only give him a bit of face. He didn't care about the extra rewards at all.
Finally, after the three Patriarchs finished speaking, the friendly martial arts competition officially began!
There were a total of 121 youths participating in the coming of age ceremony from the three clans. They would be divided into two groups of 60 and undergo the first round of elimination.
However, with Duan Lingtian present in the friendly martial arts competition this time, it was bound to be different from the past …
After the discussion between the three Patriarchs, even if the Fang Clan's Patriarch, Fang Yi, wasn't too willing, he had no choice but to admit Duan Lingtian's strength. He directly decided that Duan Lingtian would be the number one in this year's friendly martial arts competition!
None of the youths present had any objections to this decision …
What a joke! Duan Lingtian killed a martial artist at the first level of the Core Formation Stage not long ago. Even if Duan Lingtian really participated in the friendly martial arts competition, when they met Duan Lingtian, they would unconditionally choose to admit defeat.
Fighting with a freak like Duan Lingtian was absolutely looking for a beating!
Duan Lingtian's current strength had long since surpassed his peers in Fresh Breeze Town …
"Boss, you're so cool! You don't need to go down and directly become number one!"
The little fatty held the number 32 tag in his hand as he looked at Duan Lingtian with a face full of envy and jealousy.
Ignoring the little fatty, Duan Lingtian looked at the young girl beside him and asked, "Kerr, what's your number?"
"Number 7."
The young girl lightly smiled.
Before long, the friendly martial arts competition began.
As he watched the youths exchange punches and kicks in the Martial Arts Practice Field, Duan Lingtian started to doze off again.
Only when Kerr left the stage did he feel slightly more awake.
Once Ke Er got off the stage, she stood there gracefully.
Her elegant and refined figure and angelic face quickly attracted everyone's attention …
"So beautiful!"
"If I could marry a wife like this, I'd be willing to shorten my life by ten years."
"Stop daydreaming. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? This is Duan Lingtian's woman."
… …
The surrounding Chen Clan youths greedily stared at the young girl in the arena with shining eyes.
"Eighth level of the Body Tempering Stage!"
On the high platform, the three Patriarchs, including the Li family's Patriarch, Li Nanfeng, were all dumbstruck as they saw through the young girl's cultivation with a single glance.
Kerr's opponent was a slightly introverted youth with a cultivation at the third level of the Body Tempering Stage. His attacks were mediocre and he was casually knocked back by Kerr's palm strike, so he took the initiative to admit defeat.
From the beginning to the end, Kerr didn't use any martial skills …
Of course, the main reason was that Kerr didn't know any martial skills.
It wasn't that Duan Lingtian was stingy. He even passed down a top cultivation method like Frost God's Sword Technique to Kerr, so he naturally wouldn't care about ordinary martial skills. He just didn't want to distract Kerr.
"Eighth level of the Body Tempering Stage!"
At this moment, a Chen Clan Grand Elder stared closely at the young girl walking down from the arena and exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing his words, the surrounding Chen Clan disciples were instantly petrified!
This young girl who had just turned sixteen was an eighth level Body Tempering Stage martial artist?
Soon, everyone in the Martial Arts Practice Hall knew of the young girl's cultivation. Everyone who knew at the first moment was petrified and only recovered after a long time. They looked at the beautiful young girl who was shyly chatting with Duan Lingtian.
"She's an eighth level Body Tempering Stage martial artist? You must be joking … "
"It was Third Elder who said it. Do you think he's joking?"
"F * * k! This Duan Lingtian, not only is he a freak, even the people around him are freaks! "
… …
The friendly martial arts competition was in full swing. A day passed and evening arrived. The final results were out.
First, Duan Lingtian.
Second, Kerr.
Third, Li Sheng.
Fourth, Li Ke.
Fifth, Li Qiu.
Sixth, Li Xuan.
… …
The top ten and top six were all members of the Li family!
The Li family's Patriarch, Li Nanfeng, had a face full of smiles. He wasn't surprised in the slightest.
The Chen family's Patriarch, Chen Li, had a stupefied expression. He didn't expect this result.
The Patriarch of the Fang Clan, Fang Yi, had a gloomy expression. The Fang Clan only occupied one of the top ten places.
Next was the distribution of the rewards …
The first place Duan Lingtian received 300 silver and two Body Tempering Pills.
The second place Kerr and third place Li Sheng also received 200 silver and one Body Tempering Pill.
The other seven people only received 100 silver.
"Stingy, too stingy!"
Duan Lingtian had a dissatisfied expression as he received the first place reward that many people envied. He casually stuffed it into his pocket.
"Young Master!"
At this time, Kerr obediently handed over her reward to Duan Lingtian.
For a moment, the burning gazes of the surrounding people almost burned Duan Lingtian … …
In a corner of the Martial Arts Practice Field, Chen Mei Er, who was surrounded by a myriad of stars, lightly bit her lips as she looked at the pair of young men and young women in the distance.
When she looked at the young woman, her autumn eyes flashed with envy and jealousy.
As night fell, the coming of age ceremony also came to an end.
No matter if it was the Fang Clan or the Chen Clan, the two Patriarchs called for an emergency meeting that night. The core of the meeting was naturally to discuss the performance of the young men and young women of the Li family.
Six of the top ten places in the friendly competition were occupied by one family … …
In the history of Fresh Breeze Town, this was something that had never happened before!
There must be a reason for this abnormality!
In the following period of time, the two families began to secretly investigate the Li family's background … …
However, in the end, their efforts were all for naught. They didn't find anything.
In the main hall of the Li family's mansion.
"Ling Tian, Kerr, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you."
Patriarch Li Nanfeng looked at the young man and young woman before him as he spoke.
"Patriarch, please speak."
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows.
"With your current accomplishments, there are some things that I can tell you … … Actually, our Fresh Breeze Town's Li family is only a branch family of Aurora City's Li family."
Li Nanfeng slowly said.
"Aurora City's Li family?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised.
He had heard of Aurora City and knew that there was a Li family in Aurora City.
That was a large family in Aurora City, and to the Li family of Fresh Breeze Town, it was undoubtedly a colossus.
However, he didn't expect that the Li family of Fresh Breeze Town would be related to the Li family of Aurora City, and even be a branch family.
