"Now I am... invincible below tempered blood, Second Rank, below tempered blood, can't hurt me!"
Within the Layered Cloud Pavilion, Lin Guanhuo clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, his eyes firm.
Just then...
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!
You can hear the sound of fireworks and gunfire outside, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of Blackwater City.
Apparently the entire city was firing off cannons, and even the air was filled with the smell of fireworks.
Only then did Lin Guanhuo suddenly remember.
December has passed and it is now the first day of the new year.
It's Chinese New Year.
He is also nineteen years old.
Nineteen years old, Fourth Rank Bone Forging.
And it won't be long before he will be nineteen-year-old Blood Quenching Realm Master.
Lin Guanhuo opened the window and saw heavy snow falling outside. Lin Guanhuo jumped directly out of the window. In a few steps, he left Demon Suppressing Division and came to the street.
At the beginning of the New Year, Blackwater City Street is quite lively, with children holding hands, and some children from wealthy families playing with exquisite toys, eating Candied Hawthorn on the street.
Now it is Chaotic World, people are dying every day, Demon has spread to every corner of the human living area, Martial Artist can still protect itself, and ordinary people have spent a year in fear.
Only on the New Year's Day, adults and children can forget everything for a short time, take out their treasured delicacies, and spend the day happily. Celebrate that they have survived another year here Chaotic World.
It can be seen that various food stalls on the street are steaming. Many stalls sell festive items for the New Year, including red lanterns, couplets, various decorations and toys, and some even sell candies and glutinous rice balls.
Of course, only those rich kids can afford these.
Lin Guanhuo Walking through the crowd, we can see some children from poor families wearing shabby cotton-padded jackets, their faces red from the cold, and they are no more than four or five years old.
On weekdays, they hide at home and dare not go out. The only time they can go out for a walk is on the New Year's Day, but they don't even have enough to eat. They can only look at the snacks on the street, swallow their saliva, and continue to wander around.
"Candied Hawthorn~~Sour and sweet, good syrup~~" A vendor was carrying a Candied Hawthorn target with Candied Hawthorn on his back, shouting as he walked.
Several young children stared blankly at Candied Hawthorn, almost drooling, but they could only let the Candied Hawthorn vendor pass by in front of them.
This group of children bit their lips with disappointment on their faces. They have grown so big and they haven't eaten Candied Hawthorn yet...
They have seen those rich people eating Candied Hawthorn. First they licked the sticky layer on top of Candied Hawthorn. They heard that it was covered with syrup, which was fragrant and sweet...
"Wait a minute."
At this moment, Lin Guanhuo called out to the vendor.
"What are you, sir?" Seeing Lin Guanhuo dressed in extraordinary clothes, the vendor looked respectful.
Lin Guanhuo took out a tael of silver and handed it to him, and then said, "This money is for you, and you Candied Hawthorn give it to them."
When the hawker saw this, he almost laughed out loud. His target, Candied Hawthorn, could only be worth two to three hundred coins at most.
One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand Wen Coin!!
"Okay, ye! Okay, ye!!"
Candied Hawthorn The vendor took the money, ran to the front where a group of children were, and handed out Candied Hawthorn one after another.
..
Evening, Demon Suppressing Division Front Hall.
Demon Suppressing Division Big Three and all members of Demon Suppressing Division had New Year's Eve dinner together to celebrate the New Year.
Whoosh whoosh~
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!
Snap!!
Demon Suppressing Division Everyone lit the fireworks, and the sky was filled with fireworks, exploding in mid-air with bright lights.
There were rows and rows of red lanterns hanging in the hall, and dozens of tables with delicacies Fine Wine. Everyone was drinking and eating meat, and it was late at night before they knew it.
On this day, everyone in Blackwater Demon Suppressing Division indulged and got drunk. Even at midnight, the whole Front Hall was still extremely lively and full of people.
At the front seat, Lin Guanhuo and Gold Medalist, Commander Deputy Commander Commander and others are sitting here.
Two or three months have passed, and now Ye Nantian and others have recovered from their injuries and returned to their previous condition. Commander Zhou Tian, who had broken an arm before, Ye Nantian spent a lot of money to hire Bone Forger to cast a new arm for him, which is no different from before the broken arm.
As everyone knows, Ye Nantian did not drink too much and stayed sober.
As Commander, he must stay awake at all times and not slack off in the slightest.
"These brats..."
Ye Nantian looked at the drunken Demon Suppressing Division members at the table under the stage and smiled helplessly, but he didn't mean to blame them.
This group of people has spent a year in a bloody storm, and it is rare for them to get drunk. Perhaps in their drunken dreams, they can usher in a glorious and peaceful world.
"Commander, Ranking will be Ranking from Kaiyang Prefectural Division. I heard that several other Demon Suppressing Divisions under Kaiyang County have been working hard in recent years to train their juniors... just to be able to advance a few places."
At the wine table, Deputy Commander Xiao Qingshan slowly spoke, and when he mentioned the words 'Ranking', Xiao Qingshan's expression became much more solemn. Obviously this was a big deal.
"That's natural. If you rank high, you will get Prefectural Division's attention. If the resources are skewed, Prefectural Division will have more say... ha..."
Speaking of this, Ye Nantian laughed at himself, "I, Blackwater Division, was ranked eighth in Kaiyang County Eight Great Divisions, so naturally I was not taken seriously. Back then, old Commander asked Prefectural Division's masters to help eliminate the demons, but the other party only sent a few Bone Forging Realm to help..."
Currently, there are nine Demon Suppressing Division in the entire Kaiyang County, one of which is the 'Prefectural Division' of all Commander, located in Kaiyang City.
The other eight Demon Suppressing Division are collectively referred to as Kaiyang County Eight Great Divisions. There are a total of twelve counties under Kaiyang County, eight of which are guarded by Demon Suppressing Division.
If we go back a few decades ago, there were demon-suppressing divisions in twelve counties in Kaiyang County. In recent years, demons have invaded, and four of the demon-suppressing divisions have been destroyed. Those county towns have also been lost, and all life has been devastated.
Now there are exactly eight Demon Suppressing Division left.
Demon Suppressing Division is responsibility, responsibility, and even more dangerous.
But not everyone likes to do this job. In those counties where there is no Demon Suppressing Division, the major martial arts sects Noble Family control everything, plundering people's aid, and some even cooperate with Demon, and their lives are equally free and happy.
Local strong people collude in groups to share interests, and no one wants to start Demon Suppressing Division. If outsiders start Demon Suppressing Division, they will be squeezed out. Therefore, it has become a dead end, and the people can only suffer...
After all, people like Ye Nantian who have the Martial Dao family's mind are still in the minority.
The so-called 'Ranking' means Kaiyang County Eight Great Divisions competing for the top and ranking.
After all, Prefectural Division has limited resources. He must not only train his own juniors to avoid the fate of being destroyed. The remaining resources can only be given to some branches with potential to help Prefectural Division bear some of the pressure.
During the First World War many years ago, Ye Nantian, Xiao Qingshan, and Zhou Tian were still Gold Medalist.
Fortunately, the old Commander of Blackwater Division had a keen eye for talent, and the three of them, Ye Nantian, were very talented. In that Ranking, the three of them worked together to win the fifth position for Blackwater Division, which can be regarded as being in the middle...
This also made the resource rewards obtained by Blackwater Division go up a few levels. Only then did he have more capital to cultivate Bai Wenzhou, Ye Yinxue...
As for Lin Guanhuo, it is a complete surprise...
"I heard..." Xiao Qingshan took a sip of wine and said, "Number One Gold Badge Holder, the one from Tianlai Division, has already reached the eighth level of bone forging... He is only in his early thirties... It seems that the batch of treasures Tianlai Division got back then has not been used up yet!"
"Tianlai Division is so lucky!" Xiao Qingshan gritted his teeth. "Tianlai Division I heard that hundreds of years ago, when the Twelve Divisions were all present, they were ranked lower! As a result, one year later, Tianlai Commander of their class accidentally encountered an ancient tomb of a strong man!!"
"Tianlai Division's group of people are said to have emptied the ancient tomb, and they did not know how many treasures of heaven and earth they obtained! With these treasures, Tianlai Division has directly ranked first in just a century. It has been Ranking for several consecutive years... No one has ever been able to threaten their status."
"In the last Ranking, I went on stage to compete, and the master of Tianlai Division slapped me off the stage..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qingshan's voice also became much deeper.
Commander Ye Nantian, however, was quite optimistic. He said, "In this year's battle, I, Demon Suppressing Division, will be watching! In my opinion, the top four, or even the top three, won't be a problem!"
