Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 25 First Show of Strength
"Since we are both from Dongxi Village, it is only natural that my Xu family should make a contribution to the opening of the Xu family's business."

"Here are ten Qi and Blood Pills, which are my gift for you."

"Master Xu's gift is quite valuable," Xu Chuan said with a faint smile.

Xu Zhen said, "This congratulatory gift is not so easy to obtain. I have heard that your Xu family also has many disciples who practice martial arts. Why not have a match with the sons of my Xu family?"

"It'll be a way to celebrate your grand opening, how about it?"

Xu Chuan lowered his head in thought, and Xu Mingxuan said, "Father, ten Qi and Blood Pills are free, so let me take them first."

Seeing his eagerness, Xu Chuan smiled and then looked at Xu Zhen, "Second Master Xu, let's have a few matches, and stop when we've reached a point of no return."

“In martial arts sparring, injuries are inevitable. If you are afraid, you can refuse.”

"Enough with the nonsense, I'll play the first round, who are you guys going for?"

Xu Zhen chuckled, "The Xu family still has some spirited people. You look to be only ten years old. Xu Feng, why don't you go and have a match with him?"

"Yes, Second Grandfather."

The person who came out was half a head taller than Xu Mingxuan, and was only eleven or twelve years old.

Everyone was happy to watch the spectacle and made way for them, giving them enough space to compete.

Although Xu Mingxuan's destiny and talent do not provide a strong boost to his martial arts, his comprehension is quite good, and he learns martial arts moves and techniques very quickly.

That's why he and Li Zhi were noticed by a peak-level expert from the Tianlong Martial Arts School and taken in as disciples.

Although he was only nine years old, with the full support of the Xu family, he had already opened more than twenty acupoints and was a martial artist. As for Li Zhi, his talent for martial arts was much higher than Xu Mingxuan's.

He was only one step away from becoming a third-rate martial artist.

Xu Feng had only opened sixteen or seventeen acupoints, and his internal strength was not as good as Xu Mingxuan's. In addition, his martial arts skills were also inferior, so he was defeated in just over ten moves.

Xu Mingxuan showed mercy, only injuring Xu Feng's arm.

This magnanimity earned him widespread praise from those around him.

"What a fine young man!"

"The Xu family has done a good job raising their son!"

"It will surely rise to prominence in the future."

Xu Mingxuan looked at Xu Zhen and the others and said, "Who's next?"

"What an arrogant brat, Xu Wei, you go."

"Yes, Second Grandfather."

Xu Wei, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, was ruthless. Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed at Xu Mingxuan's chest.

Xu Mingxuan responded calmly.

Although he lacked internal strength, martial arts competitions are not simply a contest of the amount of internal strength.

The application of martial arts techniques can also be the key to victory or defeat.

bang bang bang~
After dozens of moves, Xu Mingxuan knew that if he continued, he would surely be defeated, so he deliberately created an opening to lure Xu Wei deeper into the fray.

Then, in a mutually destructive manner, he broke one of his arms.

However, he also suffered internal injuries.

Bai Jing looked worried, and Xu Chuan said, "Mingxuan, you've won two games in a row, you've had enough fun, come back now."

"Let your older brother take over next."

"Yes, Dad."

Xu Zhen's face turned ugly, and he glared at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei was also embarrassed and dared not look directly at him.

Xu Zhen sighed inwardly. Today, he had brought the most outstanding members of the Xu family.

But the two of them couldn't even defeat a nine-year-old boy.

I'm afraid that in another ten years or so, the Xu family will no longer be able to withstand the rise of the Xu family.

Xu Mao was also furious, cursing and saying, "Second Uncle, let Qian'er go. He will definitely bring honor to our Xu family."

"It can only be the."

"Father, Second Grandfather, rest assured, your godson will certainly not disgrace the Xu family."

Xu Qian walked to the center of the arena and shouted at Xu Chuan and the others, "I am Xu Qian, who from your Xu family will fight?"

“Xu Qian, I’ve heard of him. He’s a genius from the Black Wind Martial Arts Academy. He’s only in his early twenties and he’s already a second-rate martial artist. He’s one of the geniuses in the Black Wind Martial Arts Academy who has the potential to become a peak-level acquired martial artist.”

“I think the Xu family is in trouble this time. The eldest son is five or six years younger than him.” “And I heard that only three sons in the Xu family have entered the martial arts school.”

Yang Zhao listened to those words and looked at Xu Chuan, "Brother Xu, should I step in?"

“Brother Yang, I invited you here today just for a visit. It’s a small matter, and there’s no need for you to take care of it.”

Yang Zhao seemed to be deep in thought.

The restaurant across the street, on the second floor.

"Young master, I think the Xu family is going to lose. The Xu family looks very powerful. I vaguely heard that they have the strength of a second-rate martial artist."

"A second-rate martial artist in his early twenties is indeed quite good, and has the potential to reach the peak of the Acquired Realm, but reaching the Innate Realm is a distant dream."

"Let's see how the Xu family responds."

Chang Haowen didn't care at all and continued drinking and watching the show.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, "Shi Tou, go ahead, but don't tarnish the Xu family's reputation."

"Yes, Dad."

Xu Mingwei has been practicing martial arts since he was six years old, day and night without ever showing off.

His words to Xu Chuan today imply that there is no need to remain in hiding any longer.

Feeling invigorated, he strode into the arena with a powerful stride, his gaze fixed intently on Xu Qian.

The unintentional display of charisma he exuded even made Yang Zhao take notice, prompting him to exclaim, "I thought your three sons were already outstanding, but seeing the eldest son's bearing, I now know what it means to be a dragon among men!"

Bai Jing was very pleased to hear this. "Brother Yang, you flatter me. Shi Tou has never seriously practiced martial arts. He just practices casually with his father in his spare time."

"Sister-in-law is too modest," Yang Zhao replied with a smile.

Xu Mingwei looked at Xu Qian, turned his right palm upwards in a respectful gesture, and said loudly, "Brother Xu, please!"

Xu Qian didn't say much either. His figure moved like a ghost, leaving afterimages as he moved left and right, making it difficult to follow with the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it was like an arrow released from a bow, closing in on Xu Mingwei.

Seeing that he was unmoved, she sneered, raised her hand, clenched her fist, and smashed it into his face.

Xu Mingwei swayed his left hand.

With a loud "thud," Xu Qian's fist was easily blocked by Xu Mingwei's palm.

Then his hand, like a dragon's claw, twisted and gripped Xu Qian's wrist tightly.

One step back, one pull.

Unable to resist, Xu Qian directly performed a large crossbow.

He felt a tug on his lower body.

My balls hurt!

I couldn't help but gasp.

Seeing this, everyone understood what had happened and couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Mingwei was also surprised by this, and lifted him up with one arm, intending to throw him away.

Xu Qian took the opportunity to kick him in the chest.

But Xu Mingwei blocked it with his other hand, and then an irresistible force sent him flying.

"Brother Xu, you are no match for me. Let's find someone else."

Chang Haowen's pupils contracted slightly. "I didn't expect Xu Mingwei to have such strength. I really didn't realize it when we met last time."

"At fifteen, one can rival a first-rate martial artist. If one can reach the peak of the Acquired Realm before the age of twenty, or even go further and break through to the Innate Realm, then one has the potential to become a Grandmaster."

Becoming a Grandmaster, living to one hundred and twenty, is enough to establish a prominent family in the county town.

"That blockhead is actually so amazing!" Xiaomei exclaimed in surprise, gazing at Xu Mingwei outside the window with a captivating air.

"What, are you tempted?"

"No, I'm just curious that such an outstanding person could come from a rural family. It's rare to see such a person even in the county town."

"Don't underestimate these ordinary families at the bottom of society. Countless noble families have climbed up step by step in this way."

"Understood, young master."

Xu Mingwei's ease in dealing with the genius of the Black Wind Martial Arts School is astonishing.

However, he cupped his hands towards Xu Zhen and said, "I have long admired the reputation of Second Master Xu. Today, I would like to ask Second Master for some guidance. Is that alright?"
