Chapter 5 Royal Practice
Looking at a large number of escorts waiting outside, Xia Jiang quickly dismounted and entered the inside of the training ground.
At this moment, there are many people in the center of the practice field, all of whom have stood neatly and lined up, and in front of the queue, a magnificent figure stands tall.
This man is more than two meters tall, with dragon faces and tiger eyes, exuding invisible majesty all over his body. At this moment, he is like a giant in everyone's eyes.
He is the king of Xia Xiong.
On its left and right, there is an old man, who used to be a general of the kingdom, and now he is a teacher here.
In the past, he taught the cultivation of his children here to several veterans. Only at the end of each month will he come in person to test these children to see how much progress they have made.
Xia Xiong, as the king of a country, knows deeply that everything speaks with strength. Without strength, everything is empty talk, and strength does not distinguish between men and women. Any powerful cultivation represents the strength of two people!
Therefore, whether it is a prince or a princess, he must strictly supervise, which will directly represent the future of his Xia Kingdom!
Seeing that his father had arrived, although Xia Jiang was ready, he was also secretly shocked. In the past, the ninth prince was extremely afraid of his father and almost trembling when he saw his father.
Xia Jiang took a deep breath, stabilized himself, and walked to the queue step by step.
But there is still a long way to go, and a thunderous sound has come.
"Xiao Jiu! Come here!"
Xia Xiong, who was like a giant in the eyes of everyone, suddenly swept away to Xia Jiang in the distance.
When people heard this sound, they instinctively turned their heads to look at Xia Jiang, but they did not squint and still waited quietly, as if they had not heard anything. In front of their father, these princes and princesses who usually call for wind and rain are now like soldiers on the battlefield, with strict military discipline.
As for Xia Jiang, he was shocked when he heard his father's special call. He didn't think much about it, and immediately accelerated his pace.
When Xia Jiang came to Xia Xiong's side, some people in the queue couldn't wait to wait for Xia Jiang's bad luck, but there were also many others worried about him, such as Xia Yuner. Although she knew that today's test was inevitable, he still hoped that things would not be so bad.
When Xia Xiong saw Xia Jiang coming, it was a little unexpected. His tone was very peaceful: "I heard Yuner say that you have always worked hard, but you have no talent..." With that, he glanced Xia Jiang slightly and continued to look at everyone.
"I have always valued those who practice hard and never give up their spirit. Although I may not have strong personal strength, I can inspire a large number of people to rise up. That is a rare team leader!"
Speaking of this, he paused and glanced at the scene: "Are there any of you who have a blood fit below 'three' or 'three'? Stand up and let me have a look."
The voice was like thunder. Hearing this sound, the designated people stood up in the blink of an eye as if they were puppets at this moment.
Three, there are only three people.
Two princesses, one prince, one of which is the thirteen princes.
The two princesses were forced to come out. Although they were only twelve or thirteen years old, they were all frightened. Fortunately, Xia Xiong's eyes immediately fell on the thirteen princes.
"Thirteen, it's up to you to compete with Xiaojiu to see if he has made any progress, how about it?"
When Xia Jiang heard this, he couldn't help looking at his thirteenth brother. Although the other party's bloodline fit reached the "three", he was only 11 years old, three or four years younger than himself, which made him a little frustrated.
However, at this time, a glance suddenly looked at him, and his eyes were full of worry.
It turned out to be Xia Yuner.
Xia Jiang's heart warmed. At this time, there was only one she who would care about herself. As a thank you, he confidently returned to the other party and signaled him to be relieved, but he didn't think of him at this sight, which made him stunned.
Xia Yuner, who is covered with a veil, is mysterious, and at this moment, under the decoration of the red and white clothes, it makes the over-age proud figure a little hotter, coupled with the caring eyes, this moment gives Xia Jiang a feeling is simply indescribable...
For a while, Xia Jiang was almost distracted and wanted to make a fool of himself in public.
For good, Xia Yuner suddenly found Xia Jiang's strangeness, realized something, and hurriedly turned his head to make Xia Jiang come to his senses.
It's so dangerous...
Xia Jiang, who was sober, secretly celebrated and dared not look again. He quickly stepped forward and walked into the center of the training ground.
The thirteenth prince, who was instructed, responded to Xia Xiong and quickly walked to the center.
The crowd immediately dispersed and made a huge open space.
Although the thirteenth prince is young, he uses weapons that are more domineering than his big brothers, a pair of big hammers weighing hundreds of pounds!
Standing down, Xia Jiang was already thinking about it. Although he had never seen the thirteenth brother take action, he knew just by looking at the pair of sledgehammers that this little brother was walking in a pure and fierce power school.
The attributes of the magic weapon determine the attributes of the practitioner, which is well known to everyone. Therefore, in general, both sides of the battle can judge the opponent's possible ability from each other's weapons, and the only thing to pay attention to is the partner that the other party may have and may have many kinds of magic weapons, which is difficult to guess.
Originally, the atmosphere at the scene was very serious, but as Xia Jiang showed his weapon, he couldn't help laughing.
Red wood stick......
He took the red wooden stick he had just got from the trial hall, a magic weapon, and knew that he would be restrained by the thirteenth brother's weapon at a glance of his body shape.
"Brother Jiu, do you need to change your weapon?" The thirteenth prince also seemed to think that Xia Jiang's weapon was not good. Before he started, he quickly asked.
Xia Jiang was also grateful to hear this, and his affection for the thirteenth brother suddenly increased a lot. He said, "Thank you for reminding me that my weapon is very good and I don't need to change it."
With that, Xia Jiang immediately moved a few steps, adjusted himself and put on a posture.
Looking at Xia Jiang's combat posture, the thirteenth brother suddenly seemed to have changed, with a strong fighting momentum in his eyes. Without saying much, he immediately waved a hammer and rushed out.
When everyone saw it, most of them couldn't help but be shocked, and their youngest brother was not simple!
The thirteenth prince waved his hammer and bombarded Xiajiang directly, simply moving forward, forcing his opponent to fight hard with him.
In the past, Xia Jiang could not stand this move alone. He could only keep dodging and wandering around, but now it is different. He practices the "demon-eating method" and can exert his strength beyond his own cultivation as long as he mobilizes the activity of blood in his body.
However, at this moment, in the face of the attack of these hammers, he can only dodge first and look for attack opportunities.
But in this way, the scene at this time seemed that Xia Jiang, as expected, was directly chased and beaten by the thirteenth brother and had no power to fight back. At this moment, only some well-sighted people can see that in terms of sensitivity alone, Xia Jiang does not seem to be inferior to the thirteen princes at all.
As Xia Jiang dodged from the attacks again and again, the thirteenth prince began to look a little impatient, and the attack began to become more and more fierce.
All practitioners in this world know that practitioners like the thirteen princes rely on the power of weapons. Every blow is like an explosion, powerful, but they are most afraid of a protracted war.
In the face of the stormy and powerful offensive of the thirteen princes, Xia Jiang could only dodge with all his strength. He used the first-learned demon-eating method in his mind to make him like a snake, extremely agile, and every time he dodged the attack.
Seeing this scene, especially seeing that the thirteen prince became more and more impatient, someone suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Why doesn't the ninth brother even have the courage to fight head-on? This makes thirteen years old..."
Obviously, this person saw that Xia Jiang was slowly killing his opponent and was in an invincible situation. He was unhappy and despised Xia Jiang.
In fact, Xia Jiang's blind dodge is really not good-looking. Even if he wins in the end, it is not honorable, but Xia Jiang is also helpless. Now for him, winning is the first thing.
Seeing that Thirteen gradually appeared tired and showed defeat, suddenly a voice sounded on one side.
"It's really a shame for me to use such despicable tactics to compete with my brother!"
The loud voice attracted everyone's attention. I don't know when the second prince has arrived. In addition, there are Xia Yu and several other princesses.
Among them, especially Xia Yu, is less mysterious than Xia Yuner, but more intuitive and beautiful, which makes all the princes look at each other.
"Xiao Jiu, Thirteen, stop!"
It seemed that he couldn't stand the battle. At this time, his father's voice suddenly sounded.
Hearing his father's words, Xia Jiang immediately flashed aside.
The thirteenth prince was suspended from the competition. He thought he had lost, so he quickly knelt down and said with great shame, "Father, I let you down!" Although he did not complain about Xia Jiang, he lost his cultivation higher than the other party, which made him feel ashamed.
Seeing that the thirteenth prince was like this, without waiting for his father to speak, a person in the queue suddenly shouted first, "Father, if you want to test whether the ninth brother has practiced diligently, it's better to let the child come!" As long as he can pass three moves in the child's hand, he will win!"
Then, without waiting for his father to speak, one behind him also scrambled, "I don't need the third brother. It's enough for me to test him. I only need three moves!"
Xia Jiang looked over and saw who was his third brother and fourth brother? To put it bluntly, since the second prince began to look at him because of his contact with the ninth princess, the two have been trying to please the second prince and embarras themselves in front of the second prince.
Through the memory of the nine princes over the years, Xia Jiang has known that now these princes and princesses are secretly divided into several parties. Some follow the eldest prince, some follow the second prince, some please the third princess, and the third princess is close to the second prince, making these brothers and sisters almost divided into two factions.
But regardless of the two factions and three factions, they all don't like him as a waste and hope that he will get out of the royal family as soon as possible. As for the benefits... That is the only place he has now, the Nine Kings Palace.
Each prince and princess has their own mansion and a territory around it, and Xiajiang is no exception. Although the territory under his current control is not large, it is also the size of several villages in his previous life. If used properly, he can also do many things.
But these are not permanently his. Once he is expelled from the royal family, the mansion will mostly be given to other princes or princesses.
Take the second prince as an example, he now has three mansions with a large territory.
Xia Yu, the third princess who is deeply favored by her father, also has three mansions, even bigger than the second prince. This is also the reason why many princes want to get close to her. Even he used to be no exception. When his mother Qinfei had a good position, Xia Yu was very good to him and even told him that as long as he could catch up with the third brother. The fourth brother promised to practice with him.
This is also the reason why Xia Jiang is somewhat unhappy to see Xia Yu with the second prince at this moment, although now he has a truly ideal cultivation partner in his heart.
