Morning time. When the sky starts to look bright but some of the city of the Sun Feathers are still in darkness before dawn breaks.
the City of the Sun Feathers, the main clan of the Zhao family
A young man instinctively reacted, tossing his warm and cozy blanket, leaping down from his bed and putting on his shirt. Everything he does in just one breath. At this moment all the disciples in this family clan and even some of the servants were still asleep.
This young man was between 13 and 14 years old, with a slim stature and childish face. He is not so handsome, but still looks sweet. His eyes looked bright and filled with fighting spirit.
"A little more and I will be able to reach the second position on the Martial Path and in the end I will be able to silence the mouths of the disciples in the main clan of this family"
The young man was named Zhao Feng, half a year ago he came from the Green Leaf village, a branch of the Zhao family clan, a, and entered the Zhao main family clan in the Sun Feather city with his outstanding appearance.
In the Green Leaf village, he was the most genius at his age and became the first to reach level 1 on the Martial Path. From then on he left his usual life and entered the path of coaching. At that moment, all the elders in his village placed great hopes on him and said that he would have a glorious future. All of his family members and parents, had high expectations of Zhao Feng.
Nevertheless, only Zhao Feng knew how much more effort he put in than his peers, which made him a genius in the Green Leaf village.
The Green Leaf Village where the Zhao family came from was one of the main branches of the Zhao family clan section. Every five years there will be 2 people recommended from the village. The other person recommended with Zhao Feng was Zhao Xue, a girl who reached the first level of the Martial Path, only 2 months after Zhao Feng.
After leaving the Green Leaf village, Zhao Feng was so full of fighting desires, determined to become part of the main clan of the Zhao family and show off his skills. But when he reached the house of the main clan of the Zhao family, he realized that he was like a frog in a deep well.
Speaking of population, the Zhao family in the village only consisted of a hundred people with around seven or eight people of his age. At the main clan of the Zhao family in the Sun Feather city, there were ten thousand people and they controlled huge fields, mines and natural resources. When compared to the Zhao family in the Green Leaf village, this main family clan was hundreds of times larger!!
In the village, Zhao Feng was considered talented even classified as a genius by some people. Whereas in this main clan, he was considered as one who was at the bottom level in the coaching section for his age, a lowly outer disciple.
In this main clan of the Zhao family there were many youths of his age who had broken through to level 2 in this Martial Path. There were even so talented ones who had broken through to level 3, and according to some rumors circulating, some geniuses in the family had even broken through to level 4.
Seeing that reality, Zhao Feng started to realize that he was nothing compared to all of them. He was so innocent and stupid and nothing.
Moreover, Zhao Xue, the beautiful girl who came with him from the Green Leaf village slowly became far away from him after they entered the territory of the main clan of the Zhao family. Zhao Xue more often interacted with one of the top 3 disciples among the outer disciples.
Looking back in time, when Zhao Xue was still in the village, the girl would look at her with awe and even idolize her. At that moment, Zhao Feng only focused on the coaching period and ignored it.
Now, Zhao Feng became even more desperate and made him try even harder for the coaching of his skill.
He swore: he would be the best in the Sunlight City in the main clan of the Zhao family! He will never return to Green Leaf village!
*****
After washing up, Zhao Feng took a deep breath and ran towards the martial field of the main clan of the Zhao family.
"Well! Huh!"
Zhao Feng moved half a step with both of his fists carrying the wind, and practiced the Iron Flame Punch. This Iron Flame punch was only the basis of martial arts but Zhao Feng trained it carefully and polished it in a beautiful manner.
For ordinary people, martial arts are normally divided into 5 categories, namely: basic, low, middle, high and peak. Normally the higher the level in martial arts, the higher the damage produced and the better the level in the construction of martial arts.
The basis of martial arts, the lowest level in martial arts is useful for strengthening one's body and blood flow, and the damage it produces is very little. Nevertheless, with the identity of the village where Zhao Feng came from where he actually did not possess any special skills, it was extremely difficult for him to train martial arts at a higher level.
"I have been at level 1 on this Martial Path for quite a long time. But to reach the second level, I still need a lot of time"
After quite a long time of training, Zhao Feng's face had been wet with sweat and his breathing was wheezing.
Zhao Fengs skill was indeed not bad. The real reason why he could not catch up with the others was because he did not have martial arts skills at a higher level. He was also not rich, unlike the other members of the main family who could afford a precious medicine that was able to increase the speed of their abilities.
Some people said that some members of the Zhao main family would use the medicine from birth to increase their strength. Before they were 10 years old, they had reached level 1 Martial Path, gaining a special advantage over the others.
On this life line, Zhao Feng felt like he had fallen far behind.
Half an hour later, the sun started to shine. On the martial field, several members of Zhao's main family slowly came over and some were seen laughing and playing together. However, when they saw Zhao Feng, their eyes suddenly turned cold even some of them looked at him with contemptuous gazes.
Such an attitude was actually not just for Zhao Feng alone. The members of Zhao's main family looked at everyone who came from other lineages with the same contemptuous gaze. In the face of those who were not direct descendants, they felt even more honorable.
As Zhao Feng was occupied with his own thoughts, a whistling voice sounded from behind him.
"Hey little broom! Stop that!"
_Open!_
A hand as hard as iron hit his shoulder hard.
"That's you.."
Zhao Feng almost lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately his basic ability is quite good and he is able to balance his body quickly.
The owner of the hand was a young man dressed in black. His body is athletic and muscular, and he has thick eyebrows. His eyes emitted a ray of mischief as he looked at Zhao Feng who had just regained his balance.
"Zhao Kun, what does this mean?" Zhao Feng looked so angry and wanted to hit Zhao Kun.
When Zhao Feng first came to the house of the main clan of the Zhao family, the two of them had a slight problem. This was because Zhao Kun was mocking those who were not from the direct lineage of the Zhao family and Zhao Feng did not like him.
Zhao Kun was the one who always took revenge at every opportunity and from then on, whenever he saw Zhao Feng, he would mock him at any time.
"Zhao Kun's! With your strength, if you can't defeat a person who isn't from this direct lineage in 10 moves, then it will look uncool!"
"10 moves? Zhao Kun had been at the peak of the second level on the Martial Path! To fight that kid, I think 3 moves is enough!"
"3 moves? If they were to fight straight away then it wouldn't be easy!" Nearby family members said they were ready to watch the fight. Most of them did not care what was going to happen, so they spoke uncontrollably.
"3 moves? Ahaha.."Zhao Kun raised his head and laughed with a mocking look on his face. "You guys saw me too low, Zhao Kun! To beat this kid I only need 1 move!
It only takes one move!
The family members who were there looked surprised to hear it.
"One move?"
Zhao Feng's brows frowned and the look on his face changed. The anger in his heart was also growing.
He and Zhao Kun were only 1 rank apart. If Zhao Kun fought well, maybe he would win by 3 moves only. It's reality!
However, with just one move, it was an insult!
Gazing at Zhao Kun's provocative eye rays, Zhao Feng calmed down and thought, I shouldn't fall into his trap. Even if I could stay alive after that one move, he would still mock me.
Being at the home of the main Zhao family clan for half a year, Zhao Feng had been beaten up a few times and learned to accept it.
"I'm quite tired after training today. Let me rest for a few days and I will fight with you" Zhao Fengs face looked flat as he passed without a word.
Zhao Fengs appearance made this Zhao Kun who was the same age as him fall silent
"Okay boy, I'll let you go today. The next time we meet again, don't forget about today's 'one-match fight'" Zhao Kun gave a cold and cunning look.
Zhao Feng's heart thumped hard and thought: "It looks like Zhao Kun won't let go of me. I need to reach the second level on the Martial Path as soon as possible. It was then that I was only able to fight Zhao Kun" Zhao Fengs heart was racing once again.
After leaving the martial field, Zhao Feng returned home.
After Zhao Feng successfully entered the territory of the main clan of the Zhao family, his parents also gained a bit of pride from him and they also entered the territory of the main clan of the Zhao family. It should be a gift to her parents.
However, Zhao Feng felt his appearance here might only embarrass his parents. He might also disappoint the elders in his village who had high hopes on him.
"I'm home"
A man calmly stepped out. It was Zhao Fengs father, Zhao Tianyang.
"Feng'er, come on in and eat!" it was his mother, Zhao Shi who had an affectionate look on her face as she took out food from the kitchen.
Every time Zhao Feng came home, he could feel the warm love and affection here.
"Thank you, ma'am, this is so good!" Zhao Feng muttered with a mouth full of food.
As they ate, Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi said nothing, as if they were thinking of something.
"Dad, Mother, what are you... " Zhao Feng looked at his parents with a serious expression and noticed that they seemed like they wanted to say something to him. Zhao Tianyang and Zhao Shi looked at each other and both took a deep breath.
"Let me say it. Some time ago, the main clan at the highest level sent some people here with a letter". Zhao Tianyang was silent for a moment.
"the highest level in the main clan?" Zhao Feng did not understand.
Zhao Tianyang showed a serious facial expression and said: "The main clan has made some new rules. If the young man who came from the family clan branch could not reach the second level, they did not get the chance to participate in the inter-family match. If. before turning 15, they had not reached the third level, they would have been sent back to the branch of the clan they came from"
Whaaat!
Zhao Feng's heart seemed to stop for a moment and the look on his face changed drastically/
The inter-family match is a place where young people will fight to show their abilities. Whoever wins will get many awards and opportunities to become part of the main clan of the Zhao family, which will be trained directly by its main family members. So, this competition between families is an opportunity to change from fish to dragons for members of branch families or who are not direct descendants.
If they lost the chance to compete, it would be equivalent to being banished by the family clan!
And the rule that made Zhao Feng's heart feel like it stopped beating was the rule that was last – before the age of 15, those who could not reach the third level in the Martial Path, those who could not reach the third level in the Martial Path, he will be sent back to his family in the village.
"No, no, this is impossible.. " Zhao feng's voice was softened and he clenched both his hands.
He and his parents would have no face to return to his village on the green leaf.
"This rule only applies to family members from the family clan branch" his mother Zhao Shi showed a disappointed look on his face.
"Mom, Dad, it's okay. I will train even harder and reach the second level before the family battle". Zhao Feng clenched his teeth and said tremblingly.
"There is still 2 months left and to register you have to register a month before. To reach the second level in a month it might not be easy"
Zhao Tianyang shook his head. Just one month?
Zhao Feng's gaze dimmed as if he was immersed in darkness.
If there is still 2 months left, and he increases his training by 2 times, there is a 20 to 30 percent chance of success. But to achieve it within a month, he felt no confidence at all!
After being silent for quite a while, Zhao Shi wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes and said gently "Feng'er, it doesn't matter if you fail. We're still proud of you. The thing that might happen is we go back to the Green Leaf village and live a normal life there"
"Yes, if we go back to the village, you will still be the most talented in the village. I'd rather see you be the head of a bunch of chickens, than the tail of a Phoenix!" Zhao Tianyang nodded his head in agreement.
Being parents, they prefer their children to be in a safe condition, even though it means a mediocre life.
But, back to the village of Green Leaf?
"No!" Zhao Feng shook his head in anger. "I won't go back to Green Leaves and live a mediocre life!"
He used to swear. Will fight well, earn a place in the main clan of the Zhao family in Sun Feather city and have his own land. His heart wanted to get level 9 on the Martial Path and other lands in the outside world.
How could he be willing to let go of everything and return to his village?
Zhao Feng tried to control himself not to cry, scream or even run away from home.
"Feng'er, don't be stubborn. "his parents are screaming.
Booms!
Suddenly lightning and thunder were earthy in the sky and then it rained. Zhao Feng held his despair in heart, gawked towards the sky, and dashed through the rain. Lightning boomed everywhere, making Zhao Leng's face look glowing.
"It's not good!" Zhao Feng felt a pressure befall him as he looked up at the sky, he was surprised by what he saw.
From birth, he had never seen lightning so close and earthy in the sky, like a cobweb. At such a short moment, the lightning seemed to be in a great control of power that caused as if the world dimension to crack.
Sheeeeww------
A black line came from the pitch-black darkness. That black line passed through the lightning and caused a stream that looked like a beautiful dreamland. It was hard to imagine where the black line came from where it was able to ignore the mighty power of lightning.
Whah! Whah!
Zhao Feng felt his legs suddenly stiffen, his hair and clothes turning black and thunder twitching in his ears nonstop. Suddenly the world was silent.
"This is ... "
His face was pale, he looked at his feet and saw a strange black marble stone that looked like an eyeball. It was the thing that made the black line earlier.
The peng! The peng!
The black marble stone that was like an eyeball looked like it was lifeless, making a thumping sound as it seemed to be staring into Zhao Fengs eyes. However, those eyeballs seemed to be beating in rhythm with his heartbeat, making Zhao Feng feel like he recognized him.
At that moment, he felt an impulse, an attraction or a call? Like he felt called?
"Is this thing alive?" he held his breath, preparing for any sign of danger that might occur. However, before he had time to move –
Pooms!
The eyeball-shaped marble stone turned into a shadow and slid towards Zhao Fengs left eye.
"Ohhhhhhhhh!" Zhao Feng screamed then fainted.
Before fainting, he thought only of "Ear me, my eyes are blind!"
