chapter 3 Genius returns

In this vast Kunxuan continent, everything is respected by strength. It can be as small as a village with more than a hundred households, or as large as the Ye Lin Empire where they are located.

The forms of coming-of-age ceremonies vary greatly among different families, but their fundamental purpose is nothing more than to select and train outstanding children. Once your performance is too mediocre at the coming-of-age ceremony, you will only be able to do some superficial work in the village. Although they are not impoverished, they will inevitably be inferior to others in terms of life and status.

Hallan Kirkland stood in a corner from a distance, looking at the crowd of people. Those cumbersome coming-of-age rituals gave him the most headache, so he deliberately arrived a little late.

The ceremony was not over yet. Seeing a group of teenagers in the center of the venue being manipulated like marionettes, Hallan Kirkland couldn't help but feel grateful for his decision.

There was a high platform built on the side of the court, and the familiar figure of Japheth Peck appeared on the high platform. His eyes swept over him, and the three vacant seats looked extremely dazzling. They should have been reserved for the village chiefs of several neighboring villages.

'These village chiefs will not be absent without reason. I'm afraid they have something to do with the bandits in Jinyan Mountain. ' Hallan Kirkland made his own judgment on this. For some reason, the dark shadow that sneaked up on me a year ago appeared in my mind and couldn't get rid of it.

The competition in the square had already begun after the ceremony. Hallan Kirkland took a casual look and turned his attention elsewhere. A year ago, he loved this kind of stage so much, but now he is no longer the sharp-edged and ignorant boy he was before.

Hallan Kirkland glanced at a corner of the square and frowned involuntarily, because he saw Indra Peck group of people looking at him with unkind expressions on their faces.

"That boy is really here."

"If you dare to ignore Brother Indra Peck's warning, he is simply looking for death."

Indra Peck was standing in the team at the edge of the square, staring at Hallan Kirkland with slightly narrowed eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but the words he spoke were unusually calm.

"Now that you're here, don't think about leaving intact."

After Indra Peck finished speaking, he looked at the young man in the field. The boy in the field had just easily defeated a challenger and could continue to accept the challenge if he wished. And he also has the privilege of issuing a challenge to any teenager who participates in the coming-of-age ceremony.

The young man saw Teng Fang looking at him and immediately understood. He smiled and nodded, slowly raised his hand and pointed at Hallan Kirkland, who was standing behind the crowd, and said loudly.

"Hallan Kirkland, I challenge you. If you dare not accept the challenge, get out of the adult ceremony."

"Titouan Kirkland, you shameless guy. You know that Hallan Kirkland has no cultivation level, but you actually challenge him. If you want to find someone to challenge me, I will accompany you."

Lowell Kirkland stood on the sidelines and shouted anxiously and angrily, with some urgency in his voice. Normally, they could only make sarcastic remarks to Hallan Kirkland, but if Hallan Kirkland accepted the challenge on impulse, not even the village chief could stop him.

Hallan Kirkland came to Lowell Kirkland at some point, reached out and patted him twice on the shoulder, and then strode towards the field under Lowell Kirkland shocked eyes. After walking a few steps, he slightly raised his arm and He waved twice in the air.

Looking at his familiar movements and confident back, Lowell Kirkland felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. Because that confident back is almost exactly the same as a year ago, but he is more mature and steady than a year ago.

"Hallan, you..."

Japheth Peck stood up suddenly from the stands. He wanted to stop him with words, but the moment his eyes met with Hallan Kirkland's in the void. He couldn't say the next words anyway, because at this moment Hallan Kirkland eyes were filled with determination and confidence.

The young man named Titouan Kirkland who initiated the challenge looked at Hallan Kirkland who strode into the field with a smirk on his face, and said disdainfully.

"I didn't expect that the 'God of War' who had been a coward for a year would actually give me a chance to show my face today. If I remember correctly, you seem to have never been defeated in this competition."

"Want to defeat me? I hope you don't show your face. In the end, you show your butt instead."

Hallan Kirkland's words immediately caused all the women on the sidelines to cover their mouths and snicker. The young man named Titouan Kirkland was so angry that his face turned red. In anger, he yelled: "Look who is showing his butt."

Following the roar, he stamped his right foot heavily on the ground and rushed forward quickly. He looked at the young man who was rushing towards him with a calm face. The noisy sounds around him seemed to be gradually getting away from him, and his heart seemed to be as calm as water.

It has been a year. This year, I have experienced countless ridicules and ridicules. This year, many friends around me have alienated myself. This year, I have lost my cultivation but polished my mood.

The young man's swift figure seemed to be abnormally slow to Hallan Kirkland, and the opponent's kick filled with spiritual power gradually became larger in his eyes. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and some girls even closed their eyes involuntarily.

Lowell Kirkland clenched his fists subconsciously, unable to dodge at such a close distance. He only hoped that Zuo Feng could survive this leg, and then he would ignore the rules and rush forward to save Hallan Kirkland.

But Japheth Peck eyes widened because he saw Hallan Kirkland's body shaking. Although the shaking was very weak, based on his cultivation, he could already tell that there was spiritual energy flowing in Hallan Kirkland body.

Just when Titouan Kirkland's kick was only half a foot away from Hallan Kirkland, Hallan Kirkland's body finally moved. Shockingly, Hallan Kirkland did not retreat or defend, but instead took a step forward.

This was almost like sending himself to be kicked, but Hallan Kirkland body shook and the kick was strangely misaligned. Hallan Kirkland's clenched right fist was swung out from under his ribs. It was a little slow at first, but soon turned into a ghost and hit the opponent's front door.

Titouan Kirkland took off his legs, but the next moment his smile was replaced by shock and sluggishness. The close contact between his face and his fist caused his face to become extremely exaggeratedly distorted, and a tooth with some flesh flew out of his mouth.

His body spun and flew backwards until his body hit the field and splashed a cloud of dust. The people watching around him still looked dumbfounded with their mouths open.

Everyone has a thought in their minds, 'That cultivation genius is back again. Hallan Kirkland's heart was no less shocked than the others, because when he had just exerted his energy, the electric aura filled his fist almost instantly. He raised his energy and punched. This series of movements almost hit him unexpectedly, even a minute faster than he expected.

"This, what's going on."

It was as if Japheth Peck couldn't hear the questions from the people around him. He could only be filled with joy that his most promising disciple had recovered his cultivation.

"Hallan Kirkland, this good-for-nothing, has recovered his cultivation."

"How is it possible to defeat Titouan Kirkland with one move? He is about to break through to the fourth level of physical strength."

Indra 's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly, and Indra Peck became nervous about Hallan Kirkland 's recovery. After seeing clearly that the other party's cultivation was only at the third level of the strong body stage, he gradually regained his composure.

"What are you calling for? So what if you recover? You're only at the second level of the physical enhancement stage. What's all the fuss about."

He scolded the person next to him harshly, and then turned to look at the calm young man in the field. The boy's habit of lightly dusting off the dust reminded him of the tragic defeat a year ago, and he said harshly in his heart.

'It would be better if I restored my cultivation. Only by defeating you in this way can I truly avenge my shame. ’ “I challenge you.”

Indra Peck's voice was not high-pitched, but it still made everyone recover from the shock, and all eyes turned to him. Indra Peck walked towards the field with a confident expression, but continued to speak.

"If you don't get out now, it's no wonder I'm blind."

Hallan Kirkland looked at Indra Peck coldly. He understood that the other party said this because he was afraid that he would avoid the battle. If it were the person he was a year ago, I'm afraid he would immediately get angry and take action, but now Hallan Kirkland only showed a sneer.

"Oh, since you are interested, I will naturally accompany you. And I really want to see your 'eyeless' fists and kicks."

Hallan Kirkland deliberately emphasized the word "eyeless", which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding people. The veins on Indra Peck's forehead were slightly raised, showing that he was really angry. He said harshly: "Okay, okay, okay."

When he said the second word "good", Indra Peck's body began to lean forward slightly. When the third word "good" fell, the body had already burst out, and its speed and power were extremely amazing.

In just two breaths, Indra Peck had already rushed forward, and the dust behind him slowly started to rise. A punch filled with spiritual power came towards Hallan Kirkland with overwhelming force.

Hallan Kirkland took a step to the side without any hesitation, turning his body slightly to avoid the punch, but the subsequent punch followed closely. This style of play is almost done regardless of the loss of spiritual energy, because there is no time for the spiritual energy to be restored with such a fast move.

The punch came so fast that Hallan Kirkland couldn't dodge and had to raise his arm to hit it hard.

"Bang"

With a muffled sound, Hallan Kirkland staggered back five or six steps before dispelling the spiritual power of the punch. There is a level difference between the two, and it is not easy to be able to follow them. Seeing that the opponent was struggling to parry, Indra seized the opportunity to attack like crazy.

"mean"

Lowell Kirkland couldn't help but cursed angrily in the crowd. Except for a few teenagers who glared at him, most of them nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with Lowell Kirkland's view. It is indeed a bit shameful to compete with an opponent who is one level lower than yourself, relying entirely on the difference in cultivation and using a head-on approach.

Different from the embarrassment that others saw, Hallan Kirkland felt secretly happy in his heart. Because after blocking the opponent's full punch, the huge spiritual energy rushed into the body, and was strangely quickly swallowed up by the own spiritual energy containing thunder and lightning.

Not to mention that you have never heard of such a thing, you don't even dare to think about it, because it almost goes against the eternal iron law of Kunxuan Continent. No one's physique is exactly the same, so the aura refined through practice is also different. If you forcibly swallow and absorb other people's spiritual energy, you will either explode and die, or you will end up going crazy and running out of energy.

It was hard for Hallan Kirkland to believe just now that he could have dissipated the power of this punch by taking three steps back. But because of shock and disbelief, he had no choice but to take two steps back and concentrate on feeling this strange change in his body.

Before he could be surprised, Indra's kick filled with spiritual power was already in front of him. This time, Hallan Kirkland simply raised his hand to pick it up without hesitation. He wanted to confirm whether the strange scene just now was accidental.

"Bang"

After another muffled sound, Zuo Feng fell back six steps, while his body trembled slightly as if he had been seriously injured. But this was just the illusion of others. In fact, he was so excited that he couldn't control his body trembling.
