In front of the Great Earth Hall.

A lot of people were watching the show.

"Oh no, that servant has yet to enter the Qi Drawing Realm!"

"Xu Linde has already stepped into the Qi Drawing Realm and is only one step away from reaching the Qi Drawing Realm. He has two hundred points of strength, how can he withstand that?"

"He actually dares to talk back in front of everyone, he's asking for a beating!"

Many people were watching him gloat. Xu Zongyi's expression was grave as he bent his body down. Like a wolf ready to strike, he stared at every one of his limbs. He didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Xu Linde charged forward recklessly, completely not putting him in his eyes. The people behind him continuously whistled and jeered.

"Beat his teeth all over the ground!"

"Shoot his sh * t out!"

Xiao E quickly stood to the side and begged, "Please forgive him, young master. He's still young and doesn't understand. Please be magnanimous."

"Die!"

Xu Duan De didn't pay any attention to Xiao E as he punched towards Xu Zongyi's head.

Although he was fat, his speed was not slow.

The strength behind this punch was not small.

Xiao E's heart tightened with worry.

Xu Zongyi slightly bent his body, dodging this fist. From young until now, he had been extremely experienced when fighting with others. However, when he saw that Xu Duan De didn't have any actual combat experience and was actually without any protection, it was clear that he looked down on him.

He dove down and punched Xu Linde's lower abdomen with all his might.

Bang!

The strength behind this fist strike was unleashed by Xu Zongyi with all his might, almost reaching two hundred kilograms. One must know that throughout these years, he had been training his own strength, doing all sorts of hard work.

Xu Duan De was sent flying, his body crashing onto the ground a few meters away.

Puff!

His lower abdomen was in extreme pain. If he had not reached the level where he could draw the Qi into his flesh, this punch would have already caused him to faint.

"Looks like there's a difference between cultivating and not cultivating." Xu Zongyi discovered that the force of his fist was not small, but when it landed on Xu Duan De's body, it felt like there was an air cushion separating them.

Drawing air into the flesh.

The air merged with the flesh, making it more resistant to blows.

Stepping into the Qi Drawing Realm was not only an increase in strength, but also a fundamental transformation of the body.

Ever since Xu Zongyi was a child, he had been bullied by many people in the day courtyard. He had also learned quite a few techniques from fighting with them.

Xu Duan De was a subordinate of Xu Tiancheng and didn't even look at the Buddhist Sangha. Normally, he was the only one who bullied others and no one dared to provoke him.

Although there was a gap in strength between him and Xu Duan, it was not difficult to attack head-on. Who would have thought that a person who had yet to step into the Qi Drawing Realm would be able to strike out with a fist strike of nearly two hundred pounds?

Seeing this scene, many people were stunned.

Xu Duan De was actually knocked down to the ground by a brat who hadn't cultivated yet.

He crawled up from the ground in a sorry state. His eyes were bloodshot and full of killing intent. If he did not underestimate his opponent, he would not have ended up like this. "You are courting death!"

Many of the same age kids from the Autumn Battlefield Academy gathered around, rubbing their fists and wiping their palms. At the command of Xu Duan De, they spit out saliva and roared: "Beat this kid to death!"

The disciples of the Autumn Battlefield had focused more on cultivating the Martial Dao since young. If they were besieged by them, even if they didn't die, they would still be crippled.

At that moment, a female voice called out, "Stop."

"It's Miss Xin Die!" Xiao E screamed as if she saw her savior.

Xu Xindie was wearing a green dress with her long hair flowing behind her back. She was like a fairy in the mountains, gentle and amiable. Her steps were light and graceful.

The disciples of the academy didn't dare to make a move. Xu Xindie was the representative of the academy, so her status and position were similarly high.

Xu Linde bowed, his expression slightly unsightly. "Miss Xindie, this kid …"

"Enough." Xu Xindie scolded.

"What the hell is going on?" At this moment, there was a boy dressed in a black dragon robe. His physique was stronger than most children, and he was tall. He was none other than the young son of the village's Xu Family's patriarch, Xu Tiancheng.

Seeing Xu Tianyi arrive, Xu Duan De straightened his back a bit: "Young Master, this kid plotted against me!"

"Trash, clearly it was you who bullied a servant, but instead you were beaten up. Don't embarrass the Qiu Battle Academy anymore. You still want to surround and attack a person who hasn't cultivated?" There was a boy dressed in white with his black hair falling to the floor. He was handsome and had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Countless girls in the crowd were mesmerized. He was Xu Zhengdao from Winter Court.

Those light words caused Xu Duan De's face to turn unsightly. The Winter Court governed over the laws of the countryside, and their clan rules and battle prowess were definitely not inferior to the Autumn Battlefield.

"Oh my god, it's Xu Zhengdao. He's so handsome."

"In the future, I want to marry him …"

"Even if I had to be his personal maid, I would still be willing."

Many girls of the same age looked up to him. Although Xu Tiancheng was also not bad, he was high and mighty. He was the son of the clan leader, and most of the girls didn't even dare to think about him.

This was especially so for Xu Tianyi. Many people knew that Xu Tianyi had a favorable impression of Xu Xindie. Girls of the same age should know their own limitations.

Xu Tianyi frowned slightly as he glanced at Xu Zongyi and said coldly: "The test is about to begin. We can talk about other things in the future."

Xu Linde had no other choice but to endure and hold back his anger. His eyes glared fiercely at Xu Zongyi from beginning to end. Those eyes wanted nothing more than to tear off the flesh on his body.

The maidservants who had come from the courtyard were all rejoicing in their hearts. They had finally been saved.

Xu Xindie patted Xu Zongyi's shoulder. Her smile was gentle and her every word and gesture was like a gentle spring breeze, refreshing. "Don't worry. Don't be afraid. If there's anything, I'll make the decision for you."

"Thank you, Miss Xindie." Xu Zongyi bowed respectfully with gratitude in his heart.

He knew that a lot of the things that Xiao E usually gave him were given to the people around him by Xu Xindie. Xiao E's cousin gave it to her, but she left it for him.

Even though he had never met Xu Xindie before, he had always had a good impression of her.

Xiao E felt better seeing Xu Xindie uphold justice.

"Will you be the only one participating in the training in the day academy?" Xu Xindie was a bit surprised. She didn't think that all the people who came to cheer for him would be girls.

"That's right. For the sake of participating in this trial, Zong Yi even agreed to one of the Sect Master's conditions." Xiao E felt that this was a good opportunity. If Xu Xindie could help him, it would be much better.

"Oh? "What conditions?" Xu Xindie was curious and asked with a smile.

"If he can't get into the top three, he'll either die inside, or be tortured by him to the point of no return." Xiao E sighed.

"That weird Sect Leader really isn't letting even his children get away. But since he said so, he must have some conditions to exchange. So what if he's in the top three?" Xu Xindie was extremely shocked. She never thought that Xu Zongyi would actually agree to such a condition. One could imagine how determined he was.

"Give me the 'Water Melting Ceremony'." Xu Zongyi said in a low voice.

"Tsk tsk, you're pretty good. When we begin the trial training, you should follow me and try your best to help you. But the rest depends on your luck." "However, I have a condition. If you are able to obtain the 'Water Melting Ceremony', you'll need to lend it to me for a period of time."

"Alright." Xu Zongyi was greatly encouraged in his heart. One must know that he was born into an ordinary clan and no one thought highly of him. However, Xu Xindie felt that he might be able to enter the top three.

Not too far away, Xu Tianyi tightly furrowed his brows. It was obvious that he wasn't in a very good mood.

There was a boy wearing a white brocade robe and holding a folding fan. He looked like a weak scholar. His face was like jade and his lips were red and his teeth were white.

He was also very strong and was comparable to Xu Tianyi. His name was Xu Tianmu, and he was the representative of the Xia Nurturing Courtyard.

A few people followed behind him. Seeing Xu Zongyi and Xu Xindie happily chatting, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

"Tianmu is also here. I'm afraid that the top three will be born from the four of them."

Many of the children of the same age group began to discuss with each other. It was obvious that they were well aware of their own abilities.

"Of the four of them, I wonder who would be at the bottom?"

"There will be an outcome after the trial …"

At this moment, an old man walked out. He was the head elder of the Xu family, Xu Zhiyan, and Xu Tianmu was his grandson.

The Great Earth Hall is the place where many of my village's ancestors trained, and it is also their burial ground. There are many dangers lurking in it, and the slightest carelessness could result in their lives being threatened.

As a Great Elder, he had a very strong deterrent force when he spoke. The people who were originally prepared to give it a try all felt their hearts thumping at this moment.

His voice was filled with the power of courage, capable of shattering the confidence of those with weaker willpower. Although it was somewhat unkind, it would at least avoid a few casualties.

Some of the children were looking at each other. It was not certain that they would be able to gain great fortune from this, but they would also have to take the risk of risking their lives.

It was true that the Great Hall would kill people, but the Great Elder wasn't trying to scare them off. Those who came to participate in the trial had to be nominated by the head of the sect.

All of a sudden, the child who had just escaped directly took over fifty percent. From start to finish, Xu Zongyi was unmoved. By the side, Xu Xindie could see that he had steeled his heart, hoping to achieve good results in the Earth Hall test.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the retreating children with a gentle smile, encouraging them, "It's okay, the road to cultivation is still very long, so there's no need to be discouraged. This is a difficult path to walk, and on this path of cultivation, only being alive is the most important path."

"The younger you are in the Great Earth Hall, the greater the chances you will get great fortune there. There aren't many children who would dare to fight against you." The Xu family head of the village, Xu Chongmu, was hiding in the dark. It had to be said that a child was the future of the village. He had to pay attention to it, not to mention his own son.

"From what I see, Heaven Breaker is a brave and courageous man. I'm afraid that we will have a great harvest this time." The second elder of the Xu family, Xu Yueshen, had a good evaluation.

"Haha …" Xu Chong Mu smiled but did not speak. He was rather satisfied with his son. He looked at Xu Zongyi as if deep in thought, "That son of mine, the one who caused the Xu family to be shamed, actually came as well."

"Since no one wishes to withdraw, then enter the hall." With Xu Zhiyan's order, the doors of the Great Hall opened with a loud bang. Looking from afar, it was so dark that no one could see the bottom. No one knew what would happen inside.

The children of the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Courts all walked up the steps of the Great Hall.

Xu Xindie did not form any cliques in the Spring Festival Gym, and she usually cultivated alone most of the time.

Xu Tiancheng and Xu Tianmu were surrounded by a group of people all year round.

As for the Winter Court's Xu Zhengdao, he was famous for his aloofness and arrogance, and simply couldn't be approached. He entered the Great Earth Hall at his fastest speed, and no one was able to catch him.

Xu Duan De turned around and looked at Xu Zongyi, "I really want to see how long a little trash like you, who came from a sundry courtyard, can hold out for. It's laughable that you even think of turning over after committing such a crime."

Xu Zongyi didn't reply. After committing a sin, he really wanted to know what sort of heinous crime his father had committed in order for him to be sent to the day courtyard. He reckoned that only those who had good grades would know when they returned to the headquarter.

Many people did not have any expectations towards the Sun Ward Courtyard. Xu Zhiyan looked at Xu Zongyi with a somewhat astonished expression, "It's actually that person's son."

Seeing that everyone had entered the Earth Hall, Xu Xindie placed her hands behind her back and waved her long skirt, flying straight up the hall. "Let's go!"

"Zong Yi, we'll wait here for you to come out!" Xiao E clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed in her heart.

No matter what, he was someone who had dared to participate in the Great Hall of Earth's examination and compete with the disciples of the four Academies for so many years. He was the servant girl from the Sun Courtyard, and all of them hoped that Xu Zongyi would be able to win some honor for the Sun Courtyard.

"Alright, I won't let you down!" Xu Zongyi had a brilliant smile on his face as he waved towards his little sisters who were cheering for him. He made up his mind in his heart: "I won't let you be looked down upon and humiliated by others again!"

He and Xu Xindie finally entered the Great Earth Hall.

The door closed.

Boom!

Quite a few children did not dare to rush into the palace hall recklessly, and so they stopped at a place not too far away.

Xu Tianyi walked forward, ignoring Xu Zongyi as he said with a smile, "Heartbutterfly, let's go together."

"Miss Xindie, if you bring this kind of trash with you, you will only be a burden to yourself." At the side, Xu Tianyi felt sour as the rage in his heart burned hotly. He had not expected Xu Xindie to bring Xu Zongyi with her. Xu Tianmu was also rather surprised.

"No need! Just take care of yourselves. " Xu Xindie rejected his invitation on the spot, not caring about his identity at all.

Xu Tianyi's face was a little ugly. Without another word, he turned around and left.

"You little b * stard, once we get inside, you'll be in for it." Before he left, Xu Linde spoke out viciously.

A rather skinny boy made a gesture of wiping his neck, his gaze fierce. "We don't need to give him a good look, with his cultivation, how far can he go?"

"Heartbutterfly, you have to be careful. Let's go." Xu Tianmu didn't want to bring embarrassment to himself. With a concerned look, he turned around and left, along with his other children.

Xu Xindie was someone who could be compared to the both of them. Many children could not understand why she would bring Xu Zongyi along as a burden.

The entire Great Earth Hall was covered in a grey haze. One could see the miasma along the way turn from faint to thick. There were sparse and sparse Amber Heart Grass on the ground. The deeper one went, the denser the miasma grass would grow.

All the children from the various academies gathered together and advanced forward. However, this time, they had to rely more on their own willpower to resist.

"Miss Xin Die, why are you willing to bring me along?" Xu Zongyi watched as everyone proceeded forward. Even he himself did not understand as he walked shoulder-to-shoulder with Xu Xindie.

"Because you have a backbone. It has been a very long time since someone from the Dining Hall has dared to train in the Earth Hall. Of course I will support it!" Xu Xindie stuck out her tongue: "Besides, bullying the weak is not something that my family does. The strong must protect the weak."

Xu Zongyi's heart was moved as he deeply agreed, "That's right, this is a true disciple of the village."

"Hee hee, let's go." Xu Xindie was like a dancing butterfly, graceful and graceful.

This was an ancient palace.

According to legend, many of the ancestors of the Xu family of the village had buried him here, and even cultivated here before his death.

There were countless secrets hidden within the Great Hall.

Every year, there would be a test run.

The younger a child was, the more luck they would be able to obtain.

"Here, take a bite of my blood." Xu Xindie cut at her fingertips with her sharp blade.

"Why?" Xu Zongyi didn't quite understand.

"There is miasma released by this Great Earth Hall. The deeper you go, the stronger the poison will be. I can't continue taking care of you, I can only do my best!" Xu Xindie smiled as she placed her finger next to Xu Zongyi's mouth: "Other farm disciples have had high quality food since they were young, and have been eating their own food for a long time so that they have a certain resistance to poisons. The food that you eat in the day courtyard is rather ordinary, and even with your current physique, I'm afraid that it would still be inferior to the poison."

Food was extremely important if one wanted to cultivate. Most of the disciples of the Xu family were fed on Purple Grade Body Strengthening Rice, however, Xu Zongyi's day courtyard could only be bought on good days, and it was still Red Grade. As for the lowest grade, Purple Grade was the highest, the difference between the two could be imagined.

As a result, Xu Xindie was afraid that his body's resistance would be too low, and that he wouldn't be able to defend against the poison here.

If any of the other kids from the Xu family saw this scene, they would have been so angry that they would have vomited three liters of blood. This was something so many people couldn't even beg for.

Xu Zongyi did not hold back and sucked in a mouthful. His mouth felt slightly sweet and his heart felt even warmer as he bowed and said, "I will definitely repay Miss Heartbutterfly for dripping blood."

"What great kindness, nothing more." Xu Xindie waved her hand and looked at Xu Zongyi, "What they did to you is their business, but I, the peasant family's disciple, will definitely protect the weak. Do you understand?"

"Of course." Xu Zongyi felt that this was the behavior of the peasant family's Xu family that he had acknowledged in his heart. This was the behavior that he had seen in the books all these years.
