The silvery white dawn gradually turned red, and the morning glow shone over the entire Stone City.
In front of the Du family's gate, a large crowd had gathered early in the morning, and the whispers converged into a lively clamor. Today was the day that the Du family was recruiting guards, and those who wanted to participate had already lined up in front of the arena, all of them eager to give it a try.
Even those who could not participate took the opportunity to watch the excitement and broaden their horizons. After all, such a lively event was rarely seen.
In front of the Du family's gate, there were also many Du family members, and with the addition of many guards, no one dared to cause trouble in this lively scene.
"Isn't that the foolish young master of the Du family, fooling around on that barren mountain again?"
"That stone tablet seems to have disappeared, that's strange."
Among the crowd of onlookers outside the Du family, many people were looking at the barren mountain in front of the Du family's side gate. A young man in a purple robe was fiddling with something on that barren mountain. There was no need to guess, everyone in the Stone City knew that the person was most likely the foolish young master of the Du family, and there was no one else.
In these ten years, the name and anecdote of the foolish young master Du Shaofu had long been known by everyone, and it was a topic that had to be brought up in the Stone City.
Du Shaofu, as the young master of the Du family, was definitely an existence that was favored by the heavens in the Stone City. However, when Du Shaofu's martial vein was tested at the age of six, it was discovered that it was a useless vein, and he could not practice martial arts at all.
In this prosperous world where martial arts were respected, the consequences of not being able to practice martial arts could be imagined. Originally, with the Du family's current prestige and power in the Stone City, even if the young master of the Du family was unable to practice martial arts and had no status in the family, he could at least live a decent life.
However, misfortune does not come alone. On the day of the test, the young master of the Du family was in a bad mood, and in the storm, he somehow ran to the stone tablet on the barren mountain. As a result, a bolt of lightning struck the stone tablet. The stone tablet was fine, but the poor young master of the Du family suffered an unexpected calamity, and only woke up after being struck by lightning for three days.
Since then, the young master often ran to the stone tablet. At first, he stood there for a few hours, but later on, the time he stood there gradually became longer and longer. His eyes were dull, and he acted strange, and sometimes he even danced in front of the stone tablet.
In the beginning, there were still people from the Du family who went to find someone to treat him, but it was to no avail, so after a long time, the Du family could only give up.
In these ten years, the name of this fool had spread from the Du Clan to the entire Stone City. Everyone knew that one of the young masters of the Du Clan was a fool.
"If the younger generation of the Du family were all like him, then it would be much easier today."
A burly man with a face full of stubble and slightly tanned skin looked at a figure on a distant barren mountain and whispered softly.
"The younger generation of the Du family has come out."
"It is said that this time, Du Yu and Du Xue are extremely strong, with a fifth grade martial vein talent, and at the age of fourteen, the sixth stage of the Houtian realm. It is very likely that at the age of seventeen or eighteen, they will step into the Xiantian realm. A seventeen or eighteen year old Xiantian realm master, that is one in ten thousand. "
Following the Du family's gate, more than ten extraordinary young boys and girls stepped out onto the arena, each one standing in an orderly manner. Although they were young, their imposing manner was already extraordinary, causing the clamor in front of the arena to suddenly become silent for a moment. Everyone's eyes fell on the bodies of those young boys and girls.
Du Qi walked onto the arena, facing the dense crowd of onlookers, and said: "The recruitment of guards begins now. Those who are not defeated in three moves can become my Du family's guards."
"Buzz!"
A low and deep bell sounded, and the recruitment of guards officially began. One by one, the big men who had already lined up jumped onto the arena, and one by one, the young boys and girls fought together.
"Clang!"
"Peng!
Peng! "Suddenly, on the arena, the sound of metal colliding, palms and fists colliding could be heard from time to time. Coupled with the cheers from the surroundings, one could hear the lively clamor from afar.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to the arena, and no one paid any attention to the figure of that young boy on the barren mountain.
"How could the stone tablet be broken? After the first style, there should be a second style."
On the barren mountain, Du Shaofu was rummaging through a pile of crushed stones and powder, raising a large amount of dust. The somewhat decent purple robe on his body was already covered in dust. His mouth was muttering softly, and his face was covered in dust, which made his originally extremely white and neat teeth seem even whiter and cleaner.
"Forget it, it seems that there really is no second style here."
Du Shaofu walked out from the crushed stones, and patted his robe with both hands, causing dust to fill the air. On his resolute and determined face, his eyes were penetrating and deep, faintly flickering with a bright light. At this moment, his appearance did not look like the infamous fool in the city.
"Boom!"
Forming a hand seal, Du Shaofu's palm, a yellow Qi flow surged out. His purple robe shook, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate, as if it was about to shatter the Qi flow. His entire body was inexplicably filled with an inexplicable domineering aura. "After successfully cultivating the first style, my Martial Vein should be around the level of other people's second grade."
Feeling the changes in his body after comprehending the first style on the stone tablet in the past ten years, Du Shaofu's face revealed a satisfied smile. The mysterious first style on the stone tablet was as if it was naturally prepared for people with crippled Martial Veins. It could actually repair Martial Veins and allow people with crippled Martial Veins to cultivate.
The dense mysterious cracks on the stone tablet were related to the repair of Martial Veins. In any case, Du Shaofu was born in a martial cultivation family. At this moment, he felt that the level of his Martial Vein should be similar to that of other people's second grade Martial Vein.
However, Du Shaofu also found that the level of his Martial Vein seemed to be somewhat special. Although it was similar to that of other people's second grade Martial Vein, it was obviously not comparable to that of ordinary people's second grade Martial Vein.
After cultivating the first style, he could repair his Martial Vein to the level of other people's second grade Martial Vein. If he could find the second and third styles in the future, then what level would his Martial Vein reach in the future? This made Du Shaofu very much look forward to.
"At least, I can cultivate in the future. However, I have to find a way to get rid of this fool's title."
Du Shaofu withdrew his hand seal, and the Qi slowly disappeared in his palm. His eyes revealed a slight smile. He was a well-known fool in Stone City. Over the years, everyone really treated him as a fool.
Du Shaofu had never cared about being called a fool. He was even happy to see others treat him as a fool. Only in this way would he be able to comprehend in front of the stone tablet without being disturbed.
However, now that he had comprehended to a small extent, a fool on the road of martial cultivation would not receive the support of resources from the family. However, resources were what he needed now. Moreover, being treated as a fool every day was not a good thing. Du Shaofu felt that he should slowly get back the things he had lost in the past ten years.
"Bang bang!"
In the arena outside the Du Family's door, more than a dozen young boys and girls of the Du Family, who were either bare-handed or holding swords, were fighting with more than a dozen burly men.
Although these dozen or so Du Clan juniors were young, they seemed to be able to handle the burly men who leaped onto the stage with ease. They were able to defeat the burly men who leaped onto the stage in one or two moves, causing many of the surrounding spectators to be secretly surprised and become even more respectful towards the Du Clan.
"Isn't it just three moves? Let's go all out."
"This time, we must become the Du Family's guards. Let's go all out."
When the burly men saw how powerful the Du Family's young boys and girls were, they became even more excited. If they were lucky enough to enter the Du Family and learn a move or two from the Du Family, wouldn't they be even more powerful?
However, only a few of those burly men who had rushed up excitedly were able to withstand three moves without being defeated. In less than two hours, a total of two to three hundred people had rushed up onto the stage eagerly. However, one by one, they were continuously thrown off the stage. However, the dozen or so young men and women were also gasping for breath. It was likely that they had used up most of their energy.
Finally, there were twenty people who managed to withstand three moves. Many of them had injuries on their bodies. However, those who were able to remain on the arena were extremely excited.
Everyone's gaze fell onto the arena. Du Shaofu walked down from the barren mountain and no one noticed him.
Du Shaofu squeezed into the crowd to watch the show. He looked at the moves of his cousins on the arena. Sometimes, he would frown slightly, as if he was pondering about something. Then, his hands would faintly change under his long sleeves.
"Why are the Du Family's martial techniques full of flaws? Could it be that I am overthinking it?"
He softly muttered to himself. In the crowd, Du Shaofu's expression became more and more puzzled. In the past, he had seen the Du Family's martial techniques. At that time, he could not understand them at all. Later on, after he comprehended the move on the stone tablet, he felt that he could somewhat understand the Du Family's martial techniques.
However, now that Du Shaofu looked at the martial techniques of the Du Family, he could clearly feel that there were many flaws. Many of them were full of flaws.
"Stop, the twenty spots have been filled. The recruitment is over."
When the last lean man spat out a mouthful of blood as the price to withstand three moves, Du Qi, who was at the corner of the arena, walked forward. He looked at the men who had withstood three moves and said, "Congratulations on joining the Du Family's guards. If you are injured, you can go to the Du Family's medical hall for free treatment."
"Thank you, Deputy Commander."
The twenty men happily nodded their heads. As the Du Family's guards, the treatment was indeed different.
"Sigh, the spots have been filled. I came for nothing today."
"The Du Family's people are really strong. They are so valiant at such a young age!"
After Du Qi announced the end of the recruitment, many of the men who were originally waiting to go on stage regretted their decision. If they had known earlier, they would have queued up earlier. The crowd of onlookers was also preparing to leave amidst the excited chatter.
More than ten Du Family's juniors were also preparing to leave. To them, today was only a preliminary test. This kind of test was different from the usual spars in the family.
"Please wait."
At this moment, among the twenty men who had withstood three moves, a burly man with a face full of stubble, slightly tanned skin, and a face full of stubble leaped forward. His face slightly darkened, and then looking at Du Qi, he mustered up his courage and said, "Deputy Commander, is it true that as long as one defeats or draws with any of the Du Family's juniors, one can become a guard captain?"
"Let me explain to everyone here. Little Yu will work hard to update his novel, but he will update his new novel during this period. I believe most of the brothers here know that it is impossible to update four or five times a day for a new novel during this period.
Especially Little Yu's announcement the day before yesterday, it was very detailed. He said that he would start a new novel and would update it in two days. However, he was afraid that the brothers would wait for too long, so he insisted on updating it last night. The main reason was that he had been preparing for his new novel for more than a month. He originally had a lot of manuscripts, but a few days ago, he found a better idea. Therefore, he cut all the manuscripts that he had prepared. Many of the brothers here knew about this in detail.
Of course, this would not affect Little Yu's current update. Some authors would only update twice during this period, but they would only update a little more than two thousand words. Little Yu's first update was almost four thousand words.
However, brothers and sisters, please forgive me for the lack of updates during this period. Little Yu is really unable to update at the same speed as when the novel is published. All the authors are also unable to do so. There are some readers who don't understand, please don't slander me. I feel wronged.
