清晨,天边方才泛起一片鱼肚白,影影绰绰间,早有一人在练武场上挥洒汗水……
In the early morning, the sky was white with fish belly, and in the shadows, there was a person who was sweating on the training ground…
这里是天峰城,凌氏家族的主家大宅。
This is Tianfeng City, the main mansion of the Ling family.
喝!
Drink!
清脆的喊声,撕破了拂晓的天际,少年的样子也可以看得清晰起来了。
The crisp shout ripped through the dawn sky, and the boy’s appearance could be clearly seen.
他看起来不过十三四岁,身材略高,略显消瘦,皮肤呈现出一种不太健康的菜色。
He looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, slightly taller and slightly thinner, with an unhealthy complexion.
这应该是营养不良的原因,不过少年长相英气,虽谈不上俊美,但绝对有武者该有的那股子气势。
This should be the reason for malnutrition, but the boy looks heroic, although not handsome, but definitely has the momentum that a warrior should have.
此时不过刚刚破晓,院子里的公鸡还没有打鸣的,更不要说其余人了,偌大一个练武场,就他孤单一人在那里挥汗如雨地练武。
At this time, it had just broken, and the roosters in the yard had not yet crowing, let alone the rest of the people. There was a huge training ground, and he was the only one who was sweating and practicing martial arts.
“爷爷说过,笨鸟先飞,我不如人,就应该比别人付出十倍百倍的努力,不信无法突破到武脉二重!今天那些人笑话我,明天一定要让他们目瞪口呆!”
“Grandpa said, stupid birds fly first, I’m not as good as humans, so I should put in ten times more effort than others, and I don’t believe that I can’t break through to the second level of martial arts! Those people laugh at me today, and they will be stunned tomorrow!”
少年名叫凌霄,本来与凌氏家族八竿子打不着的关系。
The young man’s name is Ling Xiao, and he had a bad relationship with the Ling family.
大约一年前,天峰城凌氏家族为了扩大本族实力,广发邀请函,但凡姓凌者,都可以参加凌氏家族的考核,成绩优异者便可被正式吸收到凌氏家族。
About a year ago, in order to expand the strength of the Ling family in Tianfeng City, the Ling family widely distributed invitation letters. Anyone with the surname Ling can participate in the assessment of the Ling family, and those with excellent grades can be officially absorbed into the Ling family. .
他就是通过了考核,才进入凌氏家族的,小小年纪,跟着爷爷在外乞讨过活,竟然因为捡来的一本残破功法而开启了武脉,晋升到武脉一重,不可谓不天才。
He only entered the Ling family after passing the assessment. At a young age, he was begging outside with his grandfather to live, and he opened the martial arts because of a broken training method he picked up, and he was promoted to the first level of the martial arts. Not genius.
就连当初负责考核的凌氏族人也对他称赞有加。
Even the Ling clan who was in charge of the assessment at the time praised him.
可是凌霄心里头清楚,这一切,只是因为爷爷说过的一句话“这个世界,武者称雄,如果你成了武者,咱们就不用乞讨了。”
But Ling Xiao knew in his heart that all of this was just because of what Grandpa said: “In this world, warriors rule the roost. If you become a warrior, we don’t have to beg.”
从那儿之后,他是没日没夜的修炼,就连乞讨的时候也不忘记修炼,这才有了那样的成就。
From there, he practiced day and night, even when he was begging, he didn’t forget to practice.
别人以为他是天才,其实他不过就是比别人更不要命的修炼而已。
Others think he is a genius, but in fact he is just a more desperate practice than others.
成为凌氏族人之后,凌霄跟爷爷都搬进了凌家准备好的房子里居住,这个时候的凌霄,可以说是充满了对未来的期待。
After becoming a member of the Ling clan, Ling Xiao and his grandfather both moved into the house prepared by the Ling family. At this time, Ling Xiao can be said to be full of expectations for the future.
有个女孩叫凌雨。
There is a girl named Ling Yu.
她也不是天峰城凌家人,只不过她的家境非常好。
She is not from the Tianfeng City Ling family, but her family is very good.
以前凌霄去她们家门口讨饭,这个刁蛮的大小姐总是会在家人进去之后又偷偷跑出来,把凌霄的饭碗摔在地上,然后用那高级材料做的小皮靴狠狠踩上几脚。
Ling Xiao used to go to their door to beg for food, this unruly eldest would always sneak out after her family went in, smash Ling Xiao’s rice bowl on the ground, and then use the high-quality leather boots. Step on a few feet.
顺便还要说一声:“给狗吃也不给你!”
By the way, I would like to say: “The dog will not eat it for you!”
不过凌雨在凌霄进入凌家之后,却对凌霄是另眼相看,甚至主动跟凌霄接近,交朋友,这让凌霄充满了自豪感,决心在武学上走得更远,决心在凌氏家族一鸣惊人。
However, after Ling Xiao entered Ling’s house, Ling Yu looked at Ling Xiao differently, and even took the initiative to approach Ling Xiao and make friends, which made Ling Xiao full of pride and determined to go further in martial arts. Determined to be a blockbuster in the Ling family.
然而理想是丰满的,现实是残酷的。
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel.
区区武脉一重的武者,在偌大的凌氏家族,根本就是九牛一毛罢了。
A mere martial artist at the first level of the Martial Meridian, in the huge Ling family, is simply a drop in the bucket.
天峰城凌家,可是人口上万的家族,再加上这一次的扩充,人口已经达到了两三万,几乎就是天峰城的绝对霸主。
The Ling family in Tianfeng City is a family with a population of tens of thousands. With this expansion, the population has reached 20,000 to 30,000, and it is almost the absolute overlord of Tianfeng City.
这样的一个家族,怎么会真正瞧得上一个武脉一重的武者呢?
How could such a family really look down on a martial artist of the first level of martial arts?
他们随便拉出来一个丫鬟,一个仆役,那都是武脉一重啊!
They randomly pulled out a maid, a servant, and they were the first-level martial arts!
凌氏家族本族的那些同龄少年少女们,个个都有非常好的基础,清一色全部都是武脉二重以上的武者,有的甚至达到了武脉三重!武脉四重的境界,完全是凌霄只能仰视的存在。
The youths and girls of the same age in the Ling family all have a very good foundation. All of them are warriors above the second level of the martial arts, and some even reach the third level of the martial arts! The realm of the fourth level of martial arts is completely an existence that Ling Xiao can only look up to.
当然,如果能够在一年之内突破到武脉二重,凌霄或许也可以骄傲。
Of course, Ling Xiao might also be proud if he could break through to the second level of martial arts within a year.
然而有些事儿真得强求不得,因为之前捡的那本残破的功法跟凌家的基础修炼功法相冲突,他只能从头修炼。
However, there are some things that can’t be forced, because the broken exercises that he picked up before conflict with the basic exercises of the Ling family, so he can only practice from scratch.
渐渐的,已经被同来的不少人超越了。
Gradually, it has been surpassed by many people who came with him.
而这个时候,已经对他态度改观的凌雨,再一次成为了那个高高在上的刁蛮小姐,因为她不仅突破到了武脉二重,还勾搭上了凌家本族的天才弟子。
At this time, Ling Yu, who had already changed her attitude towards him, once again became the unruly young lady, because she not only broke through to the second level of the martial arts, but also hooked up with the genius disciple of the Ling family.
认清现实的凌霄并未就此一蹶不振,相反他没有忘记自己是如何来到凌家的,所以他修炼得更加刻苦,更加勤奋,发誓绝对不要被凌家赶走,不然与他相依为命的爷爷,又要受苦了。
Ling Xiao, who recognized the reality clearly, did not lose his strength. On the contrary, he did not forget how he came to the Ling family, so he practiced harder and more diligently, and vowed not to be driven away by the Ling family, otherwise he would depend on him for life. Grandpa, will suffer again.
凌氏家族规定,一年内无法突破到武脉二重的外门弟子,全部都要被清除出去,要么就干脆成为凌家的仆役。
The Ling family stipulates that all outer disciples who cannot break through to the second level of the martial arts within a year must be eliminated, or they will simply become servants of the Ling family.
而此时距离凌霄进入凌家的一年之限仅剩下一个月而已。
At this time, there is only one month left before Ling Xiao enters the Ling family for one year.
呼!哈!
Phew! what!
少年双臂挥舞间,虎虎生风,口中爆音充满了斗志。
As the boy waved his arms, he was full of fighting spirit.
凌霄知道一年之后等待自己的结果会是什么,不过他不会放弃的,能够重新从头修炼到武脉一重,他相信就能修炼到武脉二重。
Ling Xiao knows what the outcome of waiting for him will be in a year, but he will not give up. If he can cultivate to the first level of the martial arts from the beginning, he believes that he will be able to cultivate to the second level of the martial arts.
凌霄此时修炼的是凌氏家族的基础武学——“蛮牛劲”。
At this time, Ling Xiao was cultivating the basic martial arts of the Ling family – “manly bull vigor”.
“蛮牛劲”是最普通的基础武学,它囊括了功法与武技,既可以提升境界,又可以用来战斗,算是低级武者最喜欢的一种基础武学了。
“Man Niu Jin” is the most common basic martial arts. It includes exercises and martial arts, which can not only improve the realm, but also can be used for fighting. It is the favorite basic martial arts for low-level warriors.
这套“蛮牛劲”,因为练习次数实在太多,以至于凌霄打出去的时候竟有了一种浑然天成的感觉,说明他还是比较适合习武的。
This set of “Beautiful Niu Jin”, because there are so many times of practice, that Ling Xiao has a natural feeling when he fights out, indicating that he is still more suitable for martial arts.
这普通武学虽然很普通,但也同样有等级之分——基础、初级、中级、高级、顶尖!
Although this common martial arts is very common, it also has levels—basic, elementary, intermediate, advanced, and top!
五个级别,“蛮牛劲”只是最普通的基础武学。
Among the five levels, “Man Niu Jin” is just the most common basic martial arts.
这等级划分自然不是为了好玩,而是因为等级越高,修炼功法的效果会更好,武技威力会更大。
Naturally, this level division is not for fun, but because the higher the level, the better the effect of cultivation techniques and the greater the power of martial arts.
凌霄只不过是扩充的外门弟子,连凌家的血统都没有,再加上并没有表现出什么过人的天赋,所以他能修炼的也就只能是基础武学了,哪怕是初级武学,都是没资格接触的。
Ling Xiao is just an expanded outer disciple. He doesn’t even have the bloodline of the Ling family, and he doesn’t show any extraordinary talent, so he can only cultivate basic martial arts. Even the primary martial arts are not qualified to contact.
“感觉快突破了,可是总是卡在了最关键的地方,唉,要是能有一枚突破丹就好了。”
“I feel like I’m about to break through, but I’m always stuck in the most critical place. Alas, it would be great if I could have a breakthrough pill.”
练了很长时间了,凌霄拿出水袋喝了口水,心里头想着自己的无奈。
After practicing for a long time, Ling Xiao took out a water bag and took a sip, thinking of his own helplessness.
通过这将近一年时间的观察,他算是看明白了,自己不比任何人差,甚至可以说因为比较刻苦,按理说修炼进境应该更快才对。
After nearly a year of observation, he can understand that he is no worse than anyone else, and it can even be said that because of his hard work, it is reasonable to say that he should cultivate faster.
其实问题还是出在了功法和丹药上。
In fact, the problem still lies in the exercises and medicinal herbs.
凌家本族人以及那些有钱的外门弟子,要么有更高一级的修炼功法,要么就是有钱购买突破丹来协助突破。
The Ling family’s own clan and those wealthy outer disciples either have higher-level cultivation techniques, or have the money to buy breakthrough pills to assist in breakthroughs.
那些武脉二重的弟子,基本上都用过突破丹。
Those disciples of the second level of martial arts have basically used breakthrough pills.
这种丹药并不算太贵,也没有副作用,可凌霄就是买不起,凌家能提供给他吃喝,已经是最大的仁义了,不可能给他发银子的。
This kind of medicinal pill is not too expensive and has no side effects, but Ling Xiao just can’t afford it. The Ling family can provide him with food and drink, which is the greatest benevolence and righteousness.
“滚开,早就给你这废物说过了,这里是我的专属用地,你没资格在这里修炼!”
“Go away, I have already told you this waste, this is my exclusive land, you are not qualified to cultivate here!”
当太阳已经完全升起的时候,已经是一个时辰之后了,凌霄收拾了一下东西,准备离开,因为他不想跟凌家本族的人起冲突。
When the sun had fully risen, it was already an hour later, Ling Xiao packed up his things and prepared to leave, because he didn’t want to conflict with the people of the Ling family.
然而还是迟了。
But it was too late.
一声暴喝响起,正是凌家本族弟子凌冲。
A loud shout sounded, and it was Ling Chong, a disciple of the Ling family.
说话间,凌冲甚至跳上高台,一把推向了凌霄,幸亏凌霄一直刻苦修炼,所以虽然境界没有突破,但身体却很结实,别看他面有菜色,然而瘦弱的身体里力量却是不小。
While speaking, Ling Chong even jumped onto the high platform and pushed him towards Ling Xiao. Fortunately, Ling Xiao has been cultivating hard, so although his realm has not broken through, his body is very strong. The strength in the body is not small.
凌冲并没有推动他,他就像是一棵老树一般扎在了那里。
Ling Chong didn’t push him, he was stuck there like an old tree.
“凌冲,我与你无冤无仇,为何总是欺辱我?”
“Ling Chong, I have no grievance with you, why do you always bully me?”
凌霄心中恼怒,对方这样对他,已经不是第一次了。
Ling Xiao was annoyed in his heart. It was not the first time that the other party had treated him like this.
“笑话,你以为老子真喜欢欺负你个废物啊,只是你这耳朵不管用罢了,早就警告过你不要在这里练武了,别把你的那种废物气传染给了我们。”
“Joke, you think Lao Tzu really likes to bully you as a jerk. It’s just that your ears are useless. You have been warned not to practice martial arts here, and don’t infect us with your scumbag.”
凌冲看着凌霄,眼神中透着戏谑与玩味。
Ling Chong looked at Ling Xiao with playfulness and playfulness in his eyes.
没错,他就是故意的,可那又怎么着,所有扩充进来的外门弟子,就这个凌霄敢不听他的话,不找凌霄麻烦找谁麻烦?
That’s right, he did it on purpose, but so what? All the outer disciples who have expanded in, just this Ling Xiao dare not listen to him, and who do not ask Ling Xiao to trouble him?
凌家本族弟子都有一种与生俱来的傲然感觉,觉得扩充进来的外门弟子都只是挂着弟子名头的仆役而已,可以任意驱使。
The disciples of the Ling family have an innate sense of pride. They feel that the expanded outer disciples are just servants with the names of disciples, and they can be driven at will.
所以几乎所有外门弟子都遭受过本家弟子的欺负~IndoMTL.com~只不过有些人选择了沉默,有些人选择了摇尾乞怜,而凌霄则选择了不卑不亢而已。
So almost all the outer disciples have been bullied by their own disciples~IndoMTL.com~ It’s just that some people choose to be silent, some people choose to beg for pity, and Ling Xiao chooses to be neither humble nor arrogant.
凌霄不想惹麻烦,可是如果不在练武场练武,那就必须要走出很远才能找到合适的练武场,他还要照顾爷爷,太远了根本不行。
Ling Xiao doesn’t want to cause trouble, but if he doesn’t practice martial arts in the martial arts field, he has to travel far to find a suitable martial arts field. He also has to take care of his grandfather.
“凌冲,你真没用,连这个外门小子都推不下练武台,你怎么混的啊?”
“Ling Chong, you are really useless, even this outsider can’t push the martial arts platform, how did you get along?”
“就是,你好歹也是武脉二重的武者吧,这小子可是武脉一重啊,你力气还没他大?”
“That’s right, you are also a martial artist at the second level of the martial arts. This kid is the first level of the martial arts. You are not as strong as him?”
“赶紧点凌冲,把这小子赶走,咱们还要训练呢。”
“Quickly click Ling Chong to drive this kid away. We still need to train.”
跟凌冲一起的要么是本族弟子,要么就是投靠这些本族弟子的外门弟子,反正都是一些喜欢看热闹的主儿。
Ling Chong was accompanied by either disciples from his own clan, or outside disciples who took refuge with these disciples of his own clan. Anyway, they were all masters who liked to watch the fun.
毕竟看热闹不嫌事儿大嘛。
After all, watching the fun is not too big of a deal.
“他娘的,你们敢瞧不起老子,我现在就一掌把这小子拍下去,让他知道什么叫做武者!”
“Damn, you dare to look down on Lao Tzu, I will slap this kid down right now and let him know what a martial artist is!”
凌冲被激将法刺激,很是轻蔑地看了凌霄一眼,突然间一掌拍出,直接印在了凌霄的胸口之上。
Ling Chong was stimulated by the aggression, so he glanced at Ling Xiao contemptuously, and suddenly a palm was slapped and printed directly on Ling Xiao’s chest.
“够了吗?”
“Enough?”
凌霄嘴角溢出了鲜血,不过他没有倒下,也没有飞出去。
Ling Xiao’s mouth overflowed with blood, but he did not fall or fly out.
他可以借着飞出去避免伤害,但他不想,人一旦有了一次退缩,一次惧怕,那么就会养成这样的毛病。
He can avoid injury by flying out, but he doesn’t want to, once a person has a retreat, a fear, then he will develop such a problem.
他不情愿!
He reluctantly!
“这小子!找死啊!”凌冲怒了,飞起一脚踢向了凌霄。
“This kid! Courting death!” Ling Chong was furious and kicked Ling Xiao with a kick.
凌霄突然一口血喷出去,吓得凌冲急忙躲避,这一脚居然踢空了,直接飞出了练武台。
Ling Xiao suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, so frightened that Ling Chong hurriedly avoided, the kick actually missed and flew directly out of the martial arts platform.
看了看掉在练武台下的凌冲,凌霄脸上露出了一丝笑容,然后身子一晃,倒在了地上,昏倒了。
Looking at Ling Chong who was under the martial arts platform, Ling Xiao had a smile on his face, then he swayed, fell to the ground, and passed out.
