After returning from the square, Liangchen shut himself in his room and thought about his thoughts.
"Chen'er, remember to come out when you are hungry." The father knew that the child was in a bad mood, so he did not knock on the door again. He only gave instructions at the door and left.
Liangchen was lying on the bed, watching the sky outside the window change from bright to dark red, then to gray, and finally to darkness, as if it was just like the path he had walked over the years.
From a bright and bright future to a dark one now!
"Son, if you want to see your father, you must finish this book."
"But mom, why should I go find my father? I just want to be with you!"
"Because your surname is Ye!"
"Then why can't father and mother be together?"
"Because your father is not strong enough!"
"powerful!"
My mother has told me since I was a child that only by being strong can you get what you want and avoid being bullied.
Therefore, since childhood, my mother asked my father to bring many secret books of the Ye family for him to recite day and night.
Only in this way can we stand in the family ancestral hall on the day of the family meeting and recite the Ye family's thickest and most difficult-to-read book, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One Mind!
The patriarch, Dayue, agreed that he should return to the ancestral hall, and only then could he enter the foundation-building stage of genius at the age of fourteen.
But he knew that he had never been a genius. There was no play in his childhood, only various esoteric spells and sword techniques.
Those tangled characters and pattern-like patterns were as complicated as a bible to him when he was young!
But in order to make his mother happy, he learned word by word, drew picture by picture, and recited sentence by sentence!
After joining the sect, in order to bring his mother back as soon as possible, he practiced even harder and did not dare to slack off.
"Be strong!" He reminds himself all the time, so he works harder than anyone else!
He once asked his father how he could bring his mother back?
My father said, either you and I, father and son, can form a golden elixir, or make a significant contribution to the family.
For example, being selected by Tianjian Mountain!
So he prepared to make a request to his family to let his mother come back when Tianjian Mountain called him into the sect during the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of sixteen.
Originally, all this was a matter of course. Although I don’t know if the family will agree, but based on the patriarch’s talent-loving temperament and his huge potential in the future, there should be great hope!
As long as you work hard for two more years!
But this path to genius suddenly collapsed at the age of fourteen.
The family trial means that in order to train the clan members, after the annual test, the family will start a trial for the family's newly promoted clan members who are above the foundation building stage.
Usually, the team is led by the Jindan elders of the clan to go to the thorn forest on the border of Tianjian Mountain, or the Tiandu Mountains in the eastern Xinjiang and other places where monsters are infested, for actual combat training.
They mainly hunt some low-level monsters in the forest or on the edge of the mountains, so as to exercise their clansmen's combat experience.
Originally, a family like Ye Liangchen focused on cultivating talents and did not need to participate in the trial.
But because of his own strong request and other reasons, he was still brought into this team.
When leaving, the clan leader told the third elder to pay special attention to his safety. Before leaving, the master also gave him a piece of defensive armor!
What people never expected was an accident!
"What happened!? Why are you doing this to me?!" Liangchen cursed in his mind as he looked at the faint bat mark on the palm of his right hand.
That day in the cave, he caught the fire bat, fell down and hit the door, fainted, and woke up in an unknown valley.
After groping for several days, I finally found the team's previous route and searched for the marks left behind. It took me ten days to finally catch up with the family's large team.
When I asked, I found out that I had been away for more than twenty days. Calculating this, I have been unconscious for about ten days!
The third elder looked at Ye Liangchen, who had returned after nearly a month, with surprise on his face, and asked him what happened to require so many talents to return to the team?
Liangchen did not dare to tell the truth. He only said that he chased the injured three-tailed white fox all the way to a hidden cave. Then he encountered another unknown monster in the cave and knocked him unconscious in a few blows. .
The third elder seemed to believe Liangchen's words and briefly checked his body.
After discovering that his mana was slightly depleted and he had a few minor injuries, but nothing serious, he stopped asking for details and hurriedly led the team back.
After returning, his father heard that he was injured and hurriedly asked his master, the second elder, to take a closer look, but found nothing wrong.
Liangchen said what he had planned again, and his father and master rejoiced and told him not to act alone next time.
During this expedition, I thought it was a good time to risk my life to obtain a rare treasure, but I found that there was nothing strange about my body.
There is no improvement in realm, nothing to look forward to appears, nothing!
Except for the light blue bat mark on the palm of his hand, which reminds him that he has experienced a fantasy adventure, nothing else has changed.
As time went by, he gradually forgot about it.
But something surprised Liangchen. He found that no matter how hard he practiced, his magic power did not increase at all, but became less and less.
At first, he thought it was because his realm was unstable and he was injured by the fire snake. He would recover after practicing for a while.
But later I found out it wasn’t!
Because with the passage of time, the injuries suffered have long been healed, but the mana has still not been restored. Instead, it has fallen directly to a new level, from the foundation building stage to the Qi training stage.
From then on, it got out of hand. Every month was worse than the previous month, and every year was worse than the previous year.
For this reason, the clan leader summoned the five elders to give Liangchen a careful inspection, but still found nothing.
In the end, everyone thought that either Liangchen's genius had been taken away by God, or that he had been cursed by some evil curse.
Liangchen was not discouraged. He knew that he was not a genius in the first place, and there was no problem of his nature being taken back. He practiced as hard as ever.
But unlike in the past when hard work was rewarded, now no matter how hard you work, your mana will only decrease but not increase.
Finally, after three years of diligent practice, I have reached the early stage of Qi refining today!
What a big joke!
He doesn't care about other people's ridicule!
He doesn't need to care about other people's ridicule!
None of this was important, but the patriarch did not come to the sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony that he cared about, and no one from the rumored Tianjian Mountain came again.
He suddenly felt that he was too useless, sorry for his mother's diligent teaching, and sorry for the spark of expectation in his father's eyes.
But everything is irreversible!
He is seventeen years old this year. After this family test, the family will start assigning tasks based on individual abilities.
Those with good qualifications will become the core disciples that the family focuses on cultivating.
Families with average qualifications will be observed for another two years.
For clan members with poor qualifications and no hope, the family will distribute secular sundries and start running some family shops.
"I must have disappointed my family very much with my "amazing" talent today! I wonder where I will go?" Liangchen looked lonely at the dark sky outside the window, thinking anxiously in his heart.
