Chen Hao was slightly surprised. He didn't know why Elder Xiao suddenly asked this question. However, this question didn't need to be considered for Chen Hao because his purpose was very simple.
"I want to be strong!"
"Why do you want to be strong?"
"For my family to live a good life. I don't want to be looked down upon or bullied by others!"
"It's that simple? Is there anything else? "
"To avenge my father!" Chen Hao's eyes flashed with intense hatred.
He clearly remembered the scene five years ago.
At that time, he was only five years old. His family was originally in a small mountain village. Although the family was poor, they could barely survive. However, everything changed because of him.
That day, he didn't tell his parents and secretly went to the nearest town to the village. Not long after entering the town, he met a few teenagers who were slightly older than him. Chen Hao's clothes showed that he wasn't a person from the town. The teenagers stopped him.
These children from the town bullying the children from the village was one of their greatest joys. When an ordinary child faced a few children who were a few years older than him, he could only be bullied. Other than crying, there seemed to be nothing he could do.
However, Chen Hao was different from other children. When the few youths punched and kicked Chen Hao, he did not cry. Instead, he mustered all the strength in his body and headbutted the fatty who was leading the bullying. The fatty's head hit the edge of the street with a "bang", and his head was immediately broken and bleeding.
Chen Hao also took the opportunity to rush out of the encirclement and ran back to his own village.
When the children saw that their leader was beaten, how could they let it go? They immediately reported the news and chased after him. Two children who were a few years older than Chen Hao chased Chen Hao all the way to the edge of Chen Hao's village. However, they couldn't catch up. They only stopped when they saw Chen Hao enter his house.
The tragedy was born because of this.
That little fatty's father was a well-known bully in the small town. Relying on his wealth and power, he kept a group of thugs at home. They bullied men and women within a radius of dozens of miles, committing all kinds of crimes. When he received the news and saw that his son's head was bleeding, he was instantly enraged. He brought a group of thugs and chased them all the way to Chen Hao's village!
After Chen Hao ran home panting, he was covered in mud. Under his parents' interrogation, he had just told them what had happened when he heard the sound of horse hooves and shouts. Looking up, he saw that the only mountain road that led to the village was covered in dust and horse hooves flying in the air!
Chen Hai immediately knew that his son was in big trouble. Without saying anything, he hurriedly asked his wife to take the twins and Chen Hao, who were still in swaddling clothes, and rushed into the forest near the village.
It was not until midnight when the villagers called for them that Mother Ah Mei dared to bring Chen Hao and his siblings back home.
The moment he entered the house, Chen Hao saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life!
Home was no longer home!
Everything was smashed. It was a mess. Father Chen Hai's face was covered with blood, and he was lying in a pool of blood!
Fortunately, a kind neighbor had already helped Chen Hai with a simple bandage.
"Ah Mei, you should run away quickly. Those villains will come again tomorrow …" With the help and persuasion of the villagers, the family fled the village overnight.
Father Chen Hai was crippled for life.
…
"Well, then you must become strong. Only when you become strong can you let your family live a good life. Only when you become strong can you have the ability to avenge your father and never let your family be bullied!" Elder Xiao suddenly said in an impassioned voice.
The reason why he asked Chen Hao why he wanted to become a disciple of the Xiao Family was that he wanted to understand where Chen Hao's motivation was. Once he knew this, he could use the reward for Chen Hao to stimulate Chen Hao to grow at the fastest speed!
"I will, Elder Xiao. I will become strong!" Chen Hao said firmly.
"Very good! Chen Hao, from now on, I will reward you with ten taels of gold for every rank you advance. If you are able to enter the top one hundred in the Xiao Family's outer court disciple competition half a year later, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold! Of course, this is only my personal reward for you. The Xiao Family will also give you a generous reward! "Elder Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Ten taels of gold?" Chen Hao heard Elder Xiao's words and opened his mouth wide in shock. Their family's annual expenses were only a few taels of silver. Ten taels of gold was equivalent to a hundred taels of silver, which was enough for them to live on for ten years …
Chen Hao already had a basic understanding of the martial artist ranks. Xiao Jihan had been in the Xiao Family for three years and was already a seventh grade Martial Warrior. He had advanced by twenty-five grades, which was two grades and seven grades. Although Xiao Jihan was the number one genius of the Ji generation, since Chen Hao saw him as an enemy, he must surpass him as soon as possible!
Only then would he have the qualifications to compete with Xiao Jihan!
Elder Xiao knew that Chen Hao's aptitude was excellent. However, because Chen Hao cultivated the Longevity Secret Art, his cultivation speed would not be too fast.
For example, Xiao Jiyan had been following Elder Xiao since she was seven years old and started cultivating the Longevity Secret Art when she was nine years old. Now that she was thirteen years old, she had only advanced to a third grade Martial Warrior after four years.
The Longevity Secret Art was like this. It was difficult to learn and was different from any other mental cultivation method.
However, after asking Chen Hao about the situation and learning that Chen Hao had reached the peak of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains in less than an hour, Elder Xiao was filled with anticipation. Xiao Jiyan definitely could not compare to such a physique. Perhaps it would exceed his expectations.
As for the Xiao Family's outer court disciple competition, Elder Xiao did not have high hopes and was only motivated. One must know that the Xiao Family's outer court disciple test was only open to those below the age of twenty. There were many people from the same generation who could participate. The competition was very intense.
When Elder Xiao saw Chen Hao's expression, he was secretly happy. A child was still a child. Although this child was very smart, his experience determined his way of thinking. If he knew that in his future, money was really a small matter to him, how would he feel? If he was an ordinary martial artist, it would be fine. However, with his talent and aptitude, he was destined to embark on the path of a true expert.
What Elder Xiao wanted to do was to help Chen Hao reach the ninth grade Martial King realm as soon as possible!
Because only a youth with Spiritual Roots who had reached the Martial King realm would be able to break through to a higher realm!
"Work hard. You have already learned the Boundless Sea of Learning. Tomorrow, you will officially start cultivating it like the other disciples. I will inform the Sixth Elder and the others. In the future, you only need to come to my place in the morning. Go! "Elder Xiao said," Remember, other than the Longevity Secret Art, you are not allowed to cultivate any other mental cultivation method! "
"Yes, Elder Xiao." Chen Hao clenched his fists and said excitedly.
… …
Chen Hao excitedly walked out of the Profound Library. Tomorrow, he would be able to start cultivating for real tomorrow!
At this time, the elementary school was not over yet. The sound of reading could be heard from the classroom. Hearing the childish voice, Chen Hao could not help but think that if he had not met Elder Xiao, he would also be in one of the elementary school classes, studying with the other children. How could he start cultivating tomorrow?
Only now did Chen Hao's gray mood, which had been suffering from unfair treatment since he entered the Xiao Clan, finally turn for the better. He walked slowly, admiring the Xiao Clan's magnificent buildings and beautiful scenery. From time to time, he would meet the Xiao Clan's servants who would look at him strangely. They did not understand why the other disciples of the Xiao Clan were cultivating, but this youth was leisurely strolling around.
Unknowingly, Chen Hao walked to the vicinity of the Martial Arts Practice Field.
Loud shouts entered Chen Hao's ears. Hearing these voices, Chen Hao was a little excited.
