“Wake up?”
When Ling Xiao opened his eyes again, he saw his old grandfather.
She has gray hair, thin body and withered face.
“Hey, why do you say you need it, just take a soft drink! Come on, drink the medicine!”
The old man sighed and brought a bitter herbal soup.
From Grandpa’s mouth, Ling Xiao could hear concern and helplessness.
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s not the first time, anyway, I’m not convinced.”
Ling Xiao laughed and said, “When I break through the second level of the Martial Meridian, I will find that Ling Chong to settle the account!”
“You kid.”
The old man sighed. Although Ling Xiao was the child he picked up, he always regarded him as his grandson.
Seeing Ling Xiao injured, he felt very uncomfortable.
Ling Xiao took the dried herbal soup and drank it in one breath, with a smile on his face.
In fact, he refused to accept softness, not only because of his stubbornness, but also because of another reason.
That is, since he practiced the incomplete exercises, his body’s recovery speed has been extremely fast.
I have been knocked unconscious several times before, but I woke up in less than half an hour, and my body has recovered. After drinking some herbal soup, I basically recovered.
“The Ling family just sent someone here.”
When the old man said this, he seemed a little hesitant.
“Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it, what else can I not accept?”
The old man looked at Ling Xiao, and then sighed: “They asked you to prepare for the procedures to leave Ling’s house.”
“Leaving Ling’s house? Why?” Ling Xiao asked in shock.
Only after entering the Ling family can he learn better martial arts techniques and be able to stand out. If he leaves the Ling family, he really doesn’t know when his destiny will change.
“They said that there is still half a month before the year-end competition. In this year-end competition, all outer disciples who have not reached the second level of the martial arts are not eligible to participate, and they will be kicked out of the Ling family.”
Having said this, the old man sighed again: “I heard that the Ling family was robbed of some resources by other families, and they can no longer support so many people, so I plan to reduce the number of disciples, and the original rules have become more stringent. Harsh.”
“How could this be?”
Ling Xiao was also a little stunned. In a month, he still had the confidence to make a breakthrough, but in half a month, it was too urgent.
But the blow was far more than that.
The old man’s words are not finished yet.
“Also, even if you break through to the second level of the Martial Meridian within this half month, you will only temporarily retain the qualifications of the outer disciple. Before the age of fourteen, if you cannot reach the third level of the martial arts, the outer disciple must All become servants of the Ling family, or else abolish martial arts and drive out of the Ling family.”
“This is too much!”
Ling Xiao understands very well that he is thirteen years old this year, and he will be fourteen after the new year. How can he reach the third level of martial arts?
If he becomes a servant, that means his grandfather will no longer be eligible to live in the Ling family, so how can he stay here with peace of mind?
This is not a matter of face anymore, it is a matter of life and death.
What’s more, when he was selected by the Ling family, the beggar gang brothers who used to beg for food were very envious.
If he left the Ling family like this, what face would he have to return to the Beggar Gang?
“Yes, people are big families, so naturally they have their own rules. We are only outsiders after all.”
The old man suddenly smiled and said: “Forget it, it really doesn’t work, old man, I will continue to go back and beg for food. It’s fine. I can’t delay your future because of me.”
“No!”
Ling Xiao shook his head and said: “Grandpa, even if there is even the slightest possibility, I will not give up. I will work harder than before, and strive to reach the third level of martial arts before the age of fourteen! I must let You have a good life.”
He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly.
Fight!
“Son, you’ve worked hard enough now. If you try harder, you might not break through your realm, and your body will collapse instead.”
The old man sighed and said, “We still have to recognize the reality. It is almost impossible to break through to the second level of the Martial Meridian in half a month. We should make plans earlier.”
Ling Xiao felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.
Yes, I haven’t been able to break through in a year, so why can I break through in half a month.
His heart kept sinking, and the thing he was most afraid of was that it would be useless no matter how hard he tried.
If it’s a month, that’s fine, then at least 30% to 40% of the time.
But for half a month, although he is reluctant to admit it, the fact is that unless a miracle occurs, it is impossible.
“Children, don’t be too sad, it’s fine for us grandpa to be safe. Grandpa doesn’t want you to be so good. As long as you are good, it is better than anything!”
The old man’s idea is very simple. He doesn’t want Ling Xiao to carry too much ideological burden.
“If you’re worried about those beggar brothers laughing, you don’t have to. They are all miserable people and won’t laugh at you. If you succeed, they will be happy, but if you fail, they will accept you.”
To be a mediocre beggar all over again?
“No!”
Ling Xiao shook his head firmly and said, “Grandpa, have you forgotten how we were bullied on the streets before?”
“Have you forgotten how the dog was beaten to death?”
“Have you forgotten the fact that those wicked people gave us rice with rat poison?”
“That time, more than 100 brothers died!”
“But we couldn’t resist. That person was protected by a warrior. We went to a few people and all of them broke their legs!”
“Don’t you want us to continue to live such a life as pigs and dogs? I’m not convinced by Ling Xiao! I’m no worse than anyone! I believe that there is no way out!”
Ling Xiao actually doesn’t have much ambition. He learned martial arts and became a martial artist just to have a better life and to avenge his dead brothers!
The old man was already in tears, because he knew that ~IndoMTL.com~ Ling Xiao was right.
All of these are facts. If Ling Xiao cannot become a warrior, all the tragedies will continue to happen.
“Oh, I didn’t intend to give you the second half of this book, mainly because I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to control it, and now I can’t take care of that much anymore. I’m really convinced by you, old man.”
The old man took out a book from his close-fitting clothes. No, it should be a broken book to be exact.
“Isn’t this another part of the previous fragment?” Ling Xiao asked.
“Yes, in fact, when Grandpa found the book, it was complete, but there is such a sentence in the book, you can read it yourself.”
The old man turned to the page connected to the first half.
“If you don’t have the determination of the rock, strength is the driving force, don’t practice the content after this page, or you will die!”
This is a line of words written in blood on the page.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, I have the determination and motivation, nothing will happen!”
Ling Xiao excitedly took the second half of the book and went to his room, spliced the first half together, and read it from beginning to end.
“What is this!”
In the sound of exclamation, a golden light flew out from the page and shot directly into his body.
He was startled, but he didn’t notice anything unusual about his body. Just when he relaxed his vigilance, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
That’s a painting.
The content of the painting is very complicated, but in general it should be a landscape painting, with mountains and water, and buildings, as if there is no end to it at a glance.
The painting is surrounded by clouds and mist, and it is impossible to see all the content at all. Only one corner of the painting can be seen. It is a village with people and animals. It looks very peaceful.
