Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 14
Chapter 0014 The Bar Mitzvah!
The bar mitzvah was a sacred ceremony of the Profound Spirit Continent.
Everyone, between the ages of eighteen and twenty, would perform their own bar mitzvah at the right time.
Normally, a normal family would only have a few chances to hold a bar mitzvah in their lifetime. Moreover, the bar mitzvah was very simple. It was considered a ceremony to eat a sumptuous meal and invite friends and relatives to bless them.
However, for large clans, due to their large population, there would be an adulthood ceremony held almost once a year, and it would be held in an unprecedented manner. Not only would all members of their clans be required to attend, they would even invite people from all walks of life to attend the ceremony, in order to highlight the birth of a new generation of talents in their clan.
Every large clan’s coming-of-age ceremony would become the focus of attention. Through the coming-of-age ceremony, one could see if the clan’s development in the next ten years had any potential.
Therefore, martial power has become an important manifestation of the coming of age ceremony of large clans.
At the rite of passage, all members of the clan who reached their age had to display their strength in order to gain a place in the clan.
The Qin Clan’s bar mitzvah had attracted the attention of all forces a long time ago.
On the Bar Ceremony, the streets outside the Qin Clan were packed with traffic, and a group of people rushed into the Qin Clan.
These were all disciples of the various branches of the Qin Family, and they had all rushed back on this day.
The Qin Clan had stood tall in Beixuan City for hundreds of years, and there were countless branch disciples, like branches of large trees, scattered all over the place.
According to the family rules, every branch disciple who performed well at the coming-of-age ceremony could be promoted to a higher rank and be nurtured by the clan.
This was the greatest chance for the branch disciples to leap through the Dragon Gate, an excellent opportunity to become famous in one battle!
The plaza, which was large enough to accommodate ten thousand people, was divided into four areas. In the east, a tall platform was erected. There were dozens of chairs placed on it. They were the main seats. Rows of wooden chairs were also placed on the left side of the plaza. This was a branch seat.
On the right, there was a shed cloth, and beneath the shed was the guest seats.
The crowd in the middle of the plaza surged. These people had green faces and still had a childish aura. They were all the people who participated in the coming of age ceremony.
At this moment, Qin Fei was still desperately refining pills …
“Damn it! It’s about to start in half an hour!” Qin Fei’s expression was a little anxious. The bar mitzvah was about to begin, and the third grade pill had yet to be refined.
Although he had consumed a Tier 2 pill and could defeat most of his fellow clansmen, his goal was Qin Wei. For Guo Xue’s sake, he could not give up.
“Don’t be anxious. Take your time. Only by calming down can you refine a medicinal pill. How can you refine a medicinal pill in such a panic?” Xuan Ling’er said heartlessly as she swayed her legs.
Qin Fei realized that he couldn’t communicate with her at all. She didn’t understand his worries at all.
“Where’s Qin Fei?” Qin Wei swept his gaze through the crowd and didn’t see Qin Fei’s figure.
“Young Master Wei, that guy must be scared, so he doesn’t dare to come!” The fat servant laughed and said.
“Forget it if you don’t come. In any case, this daddy also thinks highly of him. Have you all gone to inquire about him?” Qin Wei said casually.
“Young Master Wei, I’ve already asked around. There are four people who have reached the third level of the Initial Martial Stage. As long as you defeat them, you will definitely be the first!” The thin servant said with a flattering smile.
“Humph! Those branch disciples, even if they reach the 3rd level of the Initial Martial Stage, they are nothing more than trash. This daddy has won the first place, but unfortunately, Qin Fei doesn’t dare to fight. This daddy lacks a chance to teach him a lesson!” Qin Wei said with a disdainful expression.
“Young Master Wei, isn’t it easy to teach him a lesson? When you win the first place and gain the attention of the clan, won’t it be as easy to make him look like a dog at that time?” The fat servant kissed his ass.
“Hehe, that’s true. We don’t care about him anymore. The ceremony is about to begin!” Qin Wei looked at the rostrum proudly. The great figures of the clan were already sitting upright on the rostrum. The left side was also filled with the managers of the branch. The guest seats on the right side were also packed. All the great figures in the city had arrived.
“Grandfather, Brother Fei hasn’t arrived yet. Is it really going to start?” As Qin Haotian’s favorite Qin Shuangshuang, she also had a seat on the rostrum. Seeing that her grandfather was preparing to stand up and announce the ceremony, she said anxiously.
“Shuangshuang, although Fei’er has recovered his martial arts, his strength is still too low. It’s fine if he doesn’t come. It’s not too late to attend the coming of age ceremony next year!” Qin Haotian smiled.
Clansmen between the ages of 18 and 20 could participate in the annual bar mitzvah, so Qin Fei could participate next year.
Qin Shuangshuang did not think so. She could clearly hear Qin Fei’s bet with Qin Wei in the plaza the day before yesterday. If Qin Fei really did not come, it would be very difficult for her to raise her head in the future. Based on Qin Wei’s temperament, she would probably not let him off easily.
However, Grandpa was right. Brother Fei was too weak after all. Even if he forcefully came to participate in the bar mitzvah, the result was certain to be defeated. Why would he need to look for humiliation?
Her heart was extremely contradictory. She wanted to see Qin Fei appear in the square to defeat Qin Wei, but she also hoped that he would not appear, because defeating Qin Wei was simply a fool’s dream.
In the arena, the disciples were also discussing why they didn’t see Qin Fei.
“Why didn’t you see Brother Qin Fei?”
“That’s right. I’m here for the bar mitzvah. There are two main things I need to do. The first is to fight for fame. The second is to see our number one genius, Qin Fei. Why didn’t he show up?”
Hearing the words of the branch disciples, Qin Wei smiled sinisterly and winked at the fat and skinny second servant.
The second servant nodded and walked towards the people who wanted to see Qin Fei. He shouted, “You guys are still thinking about that trash Qin Fei. Right now, our Young Master Wei is the strongest in the clan!”
“That’s right, Qin Fei has already become the past. Even if he flatters us now, he can’t catch up with our Young Master Wei!”
The two servants sang together and fiercely lowered Qin Fei, while lifting Qin Wei up high with all their might.
Everyone was shocked, especially those who were clamoring to see Qin Fei. They hurriedly asked what was going on.
Half a month later, the disciples who were farther away from Beixuan City did not know what had happened to Qin Fei during this period of time. They thought that he was still the number one genius in the past. Hearing the words of the second servant, their faces were filled with shock and doubt.
Some of the disciples who knew the situation immediately answered. They talked about how Qin Fei had changed from a genius to a cripple, and then cultivated martial arts from the cripple again.
“Ah! Unfortunately, a genius has fallen to the first level. My strength is the same as mine. I really came here in vain!” A disciple who was only at the 1st level of the Initial Martial Stage shook his head and sighed. He was well aware of his abilities. The main purpose of attending the coming-of-age ceremony was to see the geniuses in the clan. As long as he was ranked in the tournament, he did not even think about what the 1st level could do. Just cannon fodder.
“Since he has already fallen to this point, then I have hope!” The eyes of the four Branch disciples brightened, and they felt that they had a chance of winning.
A generation of geniuses had already completely lost their halo in the hearts of everyone present.
This was exactly what Qin Wei was happy to see. He looked at the two servants with admiration.
The discussion about Qin Fei also took place at the branch seats. These managers were all well-informed. Some shook their heads and sighed at the loss of a generation of geniuses, while others gloated at their misfortune.
Liu Chong and Mo Nai sat next to each other at the guests’ seats. Although the two families were at odds, they had no choice but to show a happy expression in front of everyone.
“Patriarch Liu, I heard that Qin Fei has resumed his martial cultivation. Does your Liu Clan have a sense of crisis?” Mo Ni smiled as he looked at Liu Chong.
“Humph! It’s just a punk with a false reputation. So what if he recovers his cultivation? Didn’t Patriarch Mo hear that? He is only at the 1st level of the Initial Martial Stage and is far behind. Even if he was a genius before, what can he do now? He can’t catch up with the others. My Liu Clan’s outstanding elites are much stronger than him. Why are you afraid of him?” Liu Chong said strangely. He looked sideways at Mo Nai and sneered, “Your Mo Clan should have a sense of crisis. If I remember correctly, someone from the Mo Clan had a grudge against Qin Fei in the past. Now that he has resumed his martial cultivation, he might find trouble with the Mo Clan in the future!”
“Why are you looking for trouble with my Mo Clan? No one in this city has the guts to do so!” Mo Ni smiled.
Liu Chong glared and coldly snorted. Mo Ni always liked to secretly mock people. This sentence was equivalent to bringing the Liu Clan in. Liu Chong knew that he wasn’t Mo Ni’s verbal opponent. He wanted to change the situation. He directly spoke with his fist and didn’t want to waste his saliva here.
“Haha, liu master don’t misunderstand, I didn’t say your liu is dog courage! I’m just making a metaphor, Half a month ago, Perhaps the Mo Clan is worried that a peerless genius from the Qin Clan will completely suppress the two of us, But the heavens have eyes. He was crippled for half a month. He had to start cultivating again. The gap was already far away. Unless he had the help of pills, he would never be able to catch up. However, the only chance for the Qin Family to obtain the pills was obtained by you, Patriarch Liu, and there was no hope for Qin Fei! By the way, Patriarch Liu, how is your eldest grandson? “Has your cultivation broken through?” Mo Nai smiled.
“Humph! Of course. He has already been at the fifth level of the Initial Martial Stage for almost two years. He is still one step away from breaking through to the sixth level. In these two days, he is prepared to cooperate with the medicinal pills to allow him to break through to the sixth level in one breath.” Liu Chong said with a smile. The mung bean eyes were so happy that they almost squeezed into a crack.
Although a First Grade Origin Martial Pill was the lowest grade, the profound energy contained within it could not be underestimated. With the help of pills, regardless of how many levels of the Origin Martial Realm it was, it could provide some help. However, it was not as obvious as the corresponding grade, but it could also save martial practitioners some time to cultivate.
Mo Ni smiled and said, “Haha, congratulations. Our Mo Rang is about to break through to the sixth layer. Speaking of which, there seems to be no sixth layer expert among the Qin Family’s third generation disciples. In my opinion, the performance of these juniors at the bar mitzvah is nothing more than a child crossing the family line!”
