Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 224 Holding Hands
After finally persuading the children to leave, Zhang Xinglie and Zhou Leng saw that Li Linhan had not come downstairs yet, so they walked out of the community.

Walk and chat.

Zhang Xinglie said: "On my way back, I sent messages to our instructor and training officer."

"The instructor said that the ancestral protection I experienced this time was a high-level protection, and I have great potential in Yunhua, so this year's Xinqing Grand Fund is secure."

"Besides that, give me a new test. If I pass it, you will take me to the 'Remnant Cloud Pillar' in Xiantian Mountain."

Zhou Leng said: "The Residual Cloud Pillar? It's very famous. I watched many videos about the Residual Cloud Pillar when I was a child, and I guessed and solved all kinds of puzzles. The mysterious power emitted by the Residual Cloud Pillar itself can help people grow and even comprehend martial arts. It can also absorb spiritual energy, making the concentration of spiritual energy around it reach hundreds of times, which is of great help to cultivation."

Zhang Xinglie nodded and said, "Yes, even if it is broken, it is still a treasure. However, according to the instructor, it is completely impossible to participate in the Ten Realms Youth Tournament this year. All the places have been reserved. The Remaining Cloud Pillar is a kind of compensation for me."

Zhou Leng said: "Although we can't enter the Ten Realms Youth Tournament, we are eligible to enter the Ancient River Trial. Are you interested?"

"Of course there is. Even the Blood of Tyranny has taken action. The Ancient River Trial must be extraordinary."

"I have five tickets. I'll contact you when the Furukawa Trial begins... Don't reveal that they're mine."

"No problem. You should intensify your training these days and thoroughly consolidate your giant body. This is of vital importance to you."

"Of course. But I feel like you've grown a lot as well."

Zhou Leng was temporarily several dozen centimeters taller and too conspicuous, causing everyone to ignore Zhang Xinglie.

After receiving the protection of his ancestors, Zhang Xinglie's body also grew five centimeters taller.

"Well, the giant's protection seems to have stimulated the power of my body. To be honest, it's no worse than the giant's body." Zhang Xinglie said.

"Okay. Once we come out of the Ancient River Trial, we'll join forces to attack the first echelon."

"Okay!" Zhang Xinglie looked at Zhou Leng and smiled.

Over the years, Zhou Leng rarely took the initiative to say such things.

He knew that Zhou Leng had been saying this in his heart.

Zhang Xinglie pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Leng, if possible, I suggest you apply to be an exchange student at Yunhua. After you are promoted to Xiantian, you will be eligible to take the exam for Xiantian students of martial arts. In the whole Dragon Country, only Yunhua and Jinjing have set up Xiantian classes."

"I'll consider it." Zhou Leng said.

Zhang Xinglie shook his head and said, "I know you must have had some adventures that others can't see, but you didn't hide some things on purpose, so I can guess. But you have to understand the power of a country. Xiongcheng gathers martial arts resources from all over the country and even the world. It is the world's top stage."

"I know."

"No, you can only understand it if you are on the stage. That place, those people, that culture and even civilization, everything about martial arts is far beyond your imagination."

"My instructor told me that I am currently only a member of Yunhua's second echelon. Once I enter the first echelon and am on the list of senior leaders, the martial arts resources they bet on me will be unmatched by the entire Ruda."

"Do you think that passing the Yunhua entrance exam is the end? No, it's not even the beginning. It's only when you reach the first step and are held up by the mighty power of the entire country that it begins. And I am about to step onto that step. You will see that I will rise to the starry sky at a speed ten or even a hundred times that of an ordinary Yunhua student."

"I hope that you and I can stand on the stage of the starry sky together."

Zhang Xinglie stared at Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng's heart was filled with passion, and he said, "There are a lot of martial arts resources at the first level, but the competition is also fierce. Aren't you worried that I will affect your martial arts resources?"

Zhang Xinglie laughed proudly and said, "You can have half of everything I have. If the day ever comes when we are short of martial arts resources, you and I will join forces and go out and rob them! Rob others, rob the aliens!"

"You guy..." Zhou Leng sighed, "If it weren't for my uncle's matter, I would definitely go. But now, before becoming a Grandmaster, Xiongcheng is not suitable for me."

Zhou Leng didn’t say anything, there is also Senior Shu.

Zhang Xinglie sighed, nodded, and said, "Then I will try harder to get you to Beijing faster."

Zhou sneered and said, "Okay, then I will try my best to stand on the starry sky stage with you even if I don't go to Xiongcheng."

"it is good!"

The two chatted happily about martial arts, heaven and earth, the future, and the starry sky.

Not long after, they passed by a construction site. They stopped at the same time, looked at each other, then jumped lightly, climbed over the baffle, and landed inside the construction site.

The construction site was quiet, with overgrown weeds and some broken bricks and household garbage faintly visible.

"It's a small town, so it's demolished."

“I heard that there are fewer and fewer students now, and many primary schools have been merged.”

Zhang Xinglie pointed to a place and said, "This should be where the ping-pong table is."

"That should be the water room..."

The two were at the old site of an elementary school, reminiscing about the past.

Zhang Xinglie stared at him absentmindedly for a while, then suddenly smiled nostalgically and said, "Do you know what I envied most about you when I was a child?" "Handsome?" Zhou Leng only joked in front of old friends.

Zhang Xinglie smiled and said, "I envy you and Xu Qingjin the most, walking hand in hand in front of you, talking and laughing, with your shoulders leaning against each other, your heads touching, and almost cheek to cheek."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Quite a bit. Sometimes when we went to look for Xu Qingjin, her mother was afraid that Xu Qingjin would run around, so she asked you two to hold hands when you crossed the road. But you two were childhood sweethearts, and you held hands together after crossing the road. We didn't say anything at the time, but we were very envious in our hearts." Zhang Xinglie said.

Zhou Leng said: "We were still young at that time, so we didn't think so much. We were pure-minded, but you were dirty since childhood!"

Zhang Xinglie laughed again and said, "When you were playing house, you two were either a father and a mother, or a young couple, and no one else could interfere. If anyone interfered, you two would immediately play by yourselves, calling it a separation. At that time, your IQ easily crushed mine."

"Xu Qingjin is ordinary, and you are ordinary too, but because you two look like a young couple, the boys in the class envy you, and the girls envy her, and then for some reason some boys like her, and some girls like you."

"I was so smart back then, but I couldn't figure out what was going on. I, Zhang Xinglie, am no worse than you. The girl I like is the class monitor, so how could I be inferior to you two? I can only wipe my nose with my sleeve in silence."

Zhou Leng couldn't help laughing. Zhang Xinglie had never told him these things.

Zhang Xinglie added: "What I envy the most is the sixth grade! Do you remember? You two were both in the sixth grade at that time!"

"I still remember that winter. It was very cold and everyone had their hands in their pockets or sleeves."

"I and other students will walk at the back, and you two will be in the front."

"When you were crossing the road, the moment the red light turned green, one of you stretched out your hand from your sleeve, and the other stretched out your hand from your pocket, and you held your hands together so smoothly that even an old couple couldn't have such tacit understanding."

"We were so stunned at the time. Do you think we are not human beings?"

"The students from the next class stared at you with their eyes wide open. They didn't say anything the whole time. Later, when you two were leaving, they asked, 'Don't you hide your early love affairs from others now? I didn't expect that you two looked honest, but you were so playful.' They even asked us to persuade you two to keep a low profile and not get caught by the teacher."

Zhou Leng tried hard to think about it, but he really didn't remember this matter.

Maybe it’s because I was used to holding hands with Xu Qingjin when crossing the road when I was a child.

Zhang Xinglie said, "After that, because of the gossip of classmates and puberty, you two were not that close, but your relationship has always been good."

Zhou Leng nodded and said, "We have always had a good relationship. How about you and that person?"

Zhang Xinglie glanced at the old site of the primary school, coughed lightly, jumped out of the fence, and turned to walk home.

Zhou sneered but said nothing.

Rucheng, Xiyuan, a villa area protected by high-level warriors, is shaded by green trees.

The walls of the community are towering, with a watchtower every few dozen meters, and searchlights constantly sweeping across the road outside.

Liang Baiyin had dinner with his grandfather, mother, uncle and others.

After Liang Baiyin finished telling the story, he gave his grandfather a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa, you have a very good eye. Brother Zhou Leng is really extraordinary. Not only did he save my life, but he also allowed me to obtain the protection of a high-level ancestor."

The old man smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and said: "He is a good boy."

"Mr. Song keeps praising him. I've never seen Mr. Song praise any young person." Liang Baiyin said.

Liang's mother asked, "He now has the status of a dual duke and a giant body. It will be easy for him to be promoted to the innate level. Is he expected to become a grandmaster?"

"He has more than the potential to become a grandmaster. According to Senior Shanhe Tianyue, he can surpass Shanheyuan and is going to take him to the Ancient Giant Road. He is said to have the potential to become a martial saint!" Liang Baiyin said without hesitation. She was the only one present here anyway.

Mother Liang's eyes lit up and she smiled, "The key is that this child saved others without asking for anything in return, which is rare. Dad, how about inviting that child to dinner one day?"

Elder Liang thought for a moment and said, "The child doesn't want to cause trouble, so let's not waste our time. If there is anything in the future, we will help him if we can."

Liang Baiyin took up Old Liang's arm, shook it gently, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, Zhou Leng doesn't have a place in the Ten Realms Youth Tournament. Please ask my dad to help him get one."

Mr. Liang was stunned for a moment, and he and his mother looked at Liang Baiyin suspiciously, then said: "This year's quota has been allocated, and your father can't get it even if he has all-powerful means."

"Then I will advance my qualification from next year to this year and give it to him to repay him for saving my life." Liang Baiyin said.

Liang's mother laughed and scolded, "You prodigal child, do you know how precious a place in the Youth Tournament is? The location of the Ten Realms Youth Tournament is a treasured land of advanced civilizations."

Elder Liang nodded and said, "If he had told me six months in advance, I would have been willing to risk my reputation and give it a try, but now, it's difficult."

Liang's mother said, "You are too loyal, child."

"That's my brother Zhou Leng!" Liang Baiyin said.

Liang's mother glanced at Mr. Liang, who had a faint smile on his face.

Liang's mother thought that it seemed that her father valued this young man very much. If another boy had such a good relationship with Baiyin, the old man would definitely be in a state of panic and would question him carefully.

With the talent of a Martial Saint, Shanhe Tianyue’s judgment is always right.
