The 20th martial arts performance begins
Liu Tianxiong continued: "The top ten disciples who excel in the trial can directly become inner door disciples. Our Liu family has a quota to participate in the Shenxiu trial, and this time the family attaches great importance to it, so we take out this quota as a reward for the first place in this martial arts performance. This opportunity to participate in the Shenxiu trial is very precious, not only can you directly enter the inner door of the Shenxiu sect, but even if you are not selected by the Shenxiu sect, all the things you get in the secret realm, except for the nine-petaled green jade flower which must be handed over half of it, all other items no matter how precious they are, belong to yourself."
Liu Tianxiong heard someone below asking what the Jiu Ban Bi Yu Hua was, and explained: "The Jiu Ban Bi Yu Hua is already extinct in other places, it's the main medicine for refining Po Shang Dan, extremely precious. Even if only for this spiritual medicine, people will flock to it."
"Tomorrow, report your respective cultivation realms to the person in charge. You still have ten days to prepare well. I hope you cherish this opportunity." Liu Tianxiong said, and then left without staying.
"Bo Ge, the reward for this martial arts performance is really generous, you must strive to be first." Since seeing Liu Bo's prowess last time, Liu An has regarded him as his idol.
"With such a generous reward, I'm also envious, but Brother Liu has already reached the peak of Qi Refining at the 9th level. I don't necessarily have to win." Liu Bo said this, not out of humility, as Liu Yan had always been recognized as a genius in the Liu Manor, and he indeed didn't have a guaranteed victory.
"Xiao Bo, I heard that your Qi stagnation illness has been cured and you've even reached the 7th level of Qi cultivation. That's impressive! This time at the martial performance, you must show off your skills." Liu Yan, with his tall stature, walked up to Liu Bo's side, his face friendly and smiling as he spoke.
"I was just about to learn from Brother Yan. Brother Yan's awesomeness, we all know about it." Liu Bo said seriously.
"I won't tell you, I have to intensify my practice. Otherwise, Xiaobo will catch up with me soon, and I, as a brother, will lose face." With that, Liu Yan turned around and walked away.
"Yan Ge is really a madman for practicing martial arts, he can't afford to waste any time." Liu An sighed.
"Yan Ge is both talented and hardworking. Only in this way can he achieve his current success." Liu Bo said with admiration.
The next day, Liu Bo went to find the family's chief steward and reported his own cultivation base of seven layers, which shocked the chief steward. He even made a special report to the Family Elder Council, making the Family Elder Council pay more attention to Liu Bo.
In the next ten days, the martial arts arena became increasingly lively. All the young masters exerted themselves to practice hard, hoping to achieve a good ranking in this martial arts performance.
The day of the martial performance arrived soon. All the unsealed officials and elders from the Liu Manor came to watch.
The Liu family's fifth generation has over sixty members, with nine older members having reached the Condensing Spirit stage and becoming Family Executives. There are still over fifty members in the Qi Refining stage, while the minimum standard for participating in the family's martial performances is the fourth layer of Qi Refining, which more than forty people have achieved.
Liu Bo was previously at the third level of Qi Gong, and did not meet the minimum requirements for the fourth level, so he is still participating in the family martial arts performance for the first time today, and he is very excited.
The rules of the family martial arts competition start with a trial from the fourth level of Qi training, and the ranking is determined. Then, the disciples of the fourth level of Qi training can freely challenge the disciples of the fifth level of Qi training. If they win, they will participate in the competition among the disciples of the fifth level of Qi training. This continues until the top ten rankings are decided for all disciples.
The Liu estate's fourth-level disciples were very few, including Liu An there were only five names, all of whom were around twelve or thirteen years old. Because they were not yet old enough, these disciples had not yet learned the exquisite and profound martial techniques, but instead used some foundational martial techniques.
These young men's martial arts skills are just average, neither too bad nor impressive. The competition only lasted for five rounds and the ranking was already decided. Liu An had been practicing diligently during this period, although he had only just reached the fourth level of Qi training, but under Liu Bo's guidance, his martial arts skills improved rapidly, and he surprisingly achieved second place, making Liu Bo very proud of him.
Next, the challenge of the fourth layer to the fifth layer, only Liu An and the one who got the first place in the fourth layer, chose their opponents and launched a challenge. However, without a doubt, neither of them succeeded in the challenge.
An hour later, the competition for the fifth layer of Qi training began. The Liu family had the most children in the fifth layer of Qi training, with a total of eleven people.
In the first round, these eleven people are divided into five groups, with two people competing against each other in each group and one person waiting. The winners and the remaining person, a total of six people, are then divided into three groups to compete again, and the winners determine the top three places.
About an hour later, the top three were decided. Among these three Liu family children, one named Liu Han performed exceptionally well, although he still used ordinary martial skills, but he grasped a few key points of the skills and won all three rounds easily.
As expected, Liu Han won the final victory and became the first in this group of Qi Wu Wujin.
Next, Liu Han still chose to continue his upward momentum. He picked Liu Gang, who had just been promoted to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, as his opponent.
Liu Han still used his ordinary martial arts in the duel with Liu Gang, while Liu Gang used his newly practiced "Thunderbolt Thirteen Swords" to fight.
Although Liu Gang's "Thunderbolt Thirteen Knives" was a new skill he had just learned, it was after all one of the top knife skills in the Liu family. Although he had only just begun to master it, its power was far greater than ordinary martial arts skills that only grasped a few percent of the essence. Therefore, after exchanging twenty or so moves, Liu Gang emerged victorious from the challenge match.
Then two more people launched a challenge, but unfortunately no one succeeded.
With this, today's morning match has come to an end. The afternoon is left for everyone to summarize their experience and no longer engage in competition.
In the morning's match, due to the participants' low level of skill, Liu Bo didn't gain any useful experience. In the afternoon, he continued to study the combination problem of "Breaking Heaven Second Strike" and "Water Shield Eighteen Styles".
As his boundary improved, the combination of "Breaking Heaven Second Strike" and the two-form unison had taken shape, and many difficulties that he couldn't overcome in the past began to be conquered one by one. Seeing the dawn of success, Liu Bo's cultivation became even more diligent and confident, believing that he would soon achieve success.
The next morning, the trial of practicing Qi up to six layers began.
Liu Fu's six-layered Qi practice has a total of nine disciples. The first round of competition is one-on-one, with four groups competing against each other.
The contestant who was competing with Liu Gang used a set of fire-based swift sword techniques. This set of sword techniques was only a fourth-grade martial skill, and its subtlety did not match Liu Gang's "Thunderbolt Thirteen Styles". However, this person had been immersed in this set of sword techniques for a long time and had already grasped the essence of the technique, so it was actually difficult to distinguish between him and Liu Gang for a while.
Liu Gang didn't know whether he was stimulated by Liu Bo or if he really had some innate talent, but after a short period of practice, his use of the "Thunderbolt Thirteen" was already decent and quite rare.
