清晨，天边方才泛起一片鱼肚白，影影绰绰间，早有一人在练武场上挥洒汗水……
In the early morning, a white fish belly just appeared on the horizon, and in the shadows, someone was sweating on the martial arts field long ago…
这里是天峰城，凌氏家族的主家大宅。
This is Tianfeng City, the main mansion of the Ling family.
喝！
drink!
清脆的喊声，撕破了拂晓的天际，少年的样子也可以看得清晰起来了。
’s crisp shout, tore through the dawning sky, and the boy’s appearance can be seen clearly.
他看起来不过十三四岁，身材略高，略显消瘦，皮肤呈现出一种不太健康的菜色。
He seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, slightly taller, slightly thinner, and his skin is showing an unhealthy color.
这应该是营养不良的原因，不过少年长相英气，虽谈不上俊美，但绝对有武者该有的那股子气势。
This should be the cause of malnutrition, but the youth looks heroic, although not handsome, but there is definitely the kind of aura that a warrior should have.
此时不过刚刚破晓，院子里的公鸡还没有打鸣的，更不要说其余人了，偌大一个练武场，就他孤单一人在那里挥汗如雨地练武。
It was just dawn at this time, and the rooster in the yard hadn’t crowed yet, not to mention the rest of the people. It was a martial arts training ground where he was alone, sweating and practicing martial arts.
“爷爷说过，笨鸟先飞，我不如人，就应该比别人付出十倍百倍的努力，不信无法突破到武脉二重！今天那些人笑话我，明天一定要让他们目瞪口呆！”
”Grandpa said, the stupid bird flies first. I am not as good as a human. I should put in ten times a hundred times more effort than others. If you don’t believe me, you can’t break through to the second level of Wumai! Those people laugh at me today, and they must be stunned tomorrow!”
少年名叫凌霄，本来与凌氏家族八竿子打不着的关系。
The young man’s name is Ling Xiao, and he had an incompetent relationship with the Ling family.
大约一年前，天峰城凌氏家族为了扩大本族实力，广发邀请函，但凡姓凌者，都可以参加凌氏家族的考核，成绩优异者便可被正式吸收到凌氏家族。
About a year ago, in order to expand the strength of the family, the Ling family in Tianfeng City issued extensive invitations. Anyone with the surname Ling can participate in the assessment of the Ling family, and those with excellent grades can be officially absorbed into the Ling family .
他就是通过了考核，才进入凌氏家族的，小小年纪，跟着爷爷在外乞讨过活，竟然因为捡来的一本残破功法而开启了武脉，晋升到武脉一重，不可谓不天才。
He entered the Ling family only after passing the examination. At a young age, he followed his grandfather to beg for a living, but because of a broken exercise method he picked up, he opened the martial arts, and he was promoted to the first level of the martial arts. Not genius.
就连当初负责考核的凌氏族人也对他称赞有加。
Even the Ling clan who was in charge of the assessment at the time praised him.
可是凌霄心里头清楚，这一切，只是因为爷爷说过的一句话“这个世界，武者称雄，如果你成了武者，咱们就不用乞讨了。”
But Ling Xiao knew in his heart that all this was just because of the words Grandpa said, “This world, warriors rule the roost, if you become a warrior, we don’t have to beg.”
从那儿之后，他是没日没夜的修炼，就连乞讨的时候也不忘记修炼，这才有了那样的成就。
From there, he practiced day and night, and he did not forget to practice even when he was begging. That’s how he achieved such an achievement.
别人以为他是天才，其实他不过就是比别人更不要命的修炼而已。
Others think he is a genius, but in fact, he just cultivates more desperately than others.
成为凌氏族人之后，凌霄跟爷爷都搬进了凌家准备好的房子里居住，这个时候的凌霄，可以说是充满了对未来的期待。
After becoming members of the Ling clan, both Ling Xiao and grandpa moved into the house prepared by the Ling family. At this time, Ling Xiao is full of expectations for the future.
有个女孩叫凌雨。
There is a girl named Ling Yu.
她也不是天峰城凌家人，只不过她的家境非常好。
She is not from Tianfeng Chengling’s family, but her family is very good.
以前凌霄去她们家门口讨饭，这个刁蛮的大小姐总是会在家人进去之后又偷偷跑出来，把凌霄的饭碗摔在地上，然后用那高级材料做的小皮靴狠狠踩上几脚。
Before Ling Xiao went to their door to beg for dinner, this savage lady would always sneak out after the family went in, throw Ling Xiao’s rice bowl to the ground, and then use the little leather boots made of that high-grade material. Step on a few feet.
顺便还要说一声：“给狗吃也不给你！”
Incidentally, I would like to say: “I will give it to the dog but not you!”
不过凌雨在凌霄进入凌家之后，却对凌霄是另眼相看，甚至主动跟凌霄接近，交朋友，这让凌霄充满了自豪感，决心在武学上走得更远，决心在凌氏家族一鸣惊人。
But after Ling Xiao entered the Ling family, Ling Yu looked at Ling Xiao differently, and even took the initiative to approach Ling Xiao and make friends, which made Ling Xiao full of pride and determined to go further in martial arts. The determination is a blockbuster in the Ling family.
然而理想是丰满的，现实是残酷的。
However, ideals are full and reality is cruel.
区区武脉一重的武者，在偌大的凌氏家族，根本就是九牛一毛罢了。
The warriors who have the highest martial arts in the district, in the huge Ling family, are nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
天峰城凌家，可是人口上万的家族，再加上这一次的扩充，人口已经达到了两三万，几乎就是天峰城的绝对霸主。
Tianfeng City Ling Family, but a family with a population of tens of thousands, coupled with this expansion, the population has reached two to thirty thousand, almost the absolute overlord of Tianfeng City.
这样的一个家族，怎么会真正瞧得上一个武脉一重的武者呢？
How can a family like really appreciate a martial artist with the highest level of martial arts?
他们随便拉出来一个丫鬟，一个仆役，那都是武脉一重啊！
They randomly pulled out a maid, a servant, that’s all Wumai First Heavy!
凌氏家族本族的那些同龄少年少女们，个个都有非常好的基础，清一色全部都是武脉二重以上的武者，有的甚至达到了武脉三重！武脉四重的境界，完全是凌霄只能仰视的存在。
The young girls of the same age in the Ling family have a very good foundation. They are all martial artists with the second level of martial arts and above, and some even reached the third level of martial arts! The four levels of Wu Mai’s realm were completely the existence that Ling Xiao could only look up to.
当然，如果能够在一年之内突破到武脉二重，凌霄或许也可以骄傲。
Of course, if he can break through to the second layer of Wumai within a year, Ling Xiao may also be proud.
然而有些事儿真得强求不得，因为之前捡的那本残破的功法跟凌家的基础修炼功法相冲突，他只能从头修炼。
However, some things are really hard to demand, because the broken exercise method that he picked up before conflicts with the basic exercise method of the Ling family, so he can only practice from scratch.
渐渐的，已经被同来的不少人超越了。
Gradually, it has been surpassed by many people who came with it.
而这个时候，已经对他态度改观的凌雨，再一次成为了那个高高在上的刁蛮小姐，因为她不仅突破到了武脉二重，还勾搭上了凌家本族的天才弟子。
And at this time, Ling Yu, who had changed his attitude towards him, once again became the supreme young lady, because she not only broke through to the second layer of Wu Mai, but also hooked up with the genius disciple of the Ling family.
认清现实的凌霄并未就此一蹶不振，相反他没有忘记自己是如何来到凌家的，所以他修炼得更加刻苦，更加勤奋，发誓绝对不要被凌家赶走，不然与他相依为命的爷爷，又要受苦了。
Ling Xiao, who knew the reality, didn’t let this down. On the contrary, he didn’t forget how he came to the Ling family, so he practiced harder and harder, and vowed never to be driven away by the Ling family, or he would depend on him for life. My grandfather is going to suffer again.
凌氏家族规定，一年内无法突破到武脉二重的外门弟子，全部都要被清除出去，要么就干脆成为凌家的仆役。
The Ling family stipulated that all the outer disciples who could not break through to the second layer of Wumai within a year must be eliminated, or they would simply become servants of the Ling family.
而此时距离凌霄进入凌家的一年之限仅剩下一个月而已。
At this time, there was only one month left before Ling Xiao entered the Ling family.
呼！哈！
hu! what!
少年双臂挥舞间，虎虎生风，口中爆音充满了斗志。
The young boy was waving his arms, and his mouth was full of fighting spirit.
凌霄知道一年之后等待自己的结果会是什么，不过他不会放弃的，能够重新从头修炼到武脉一重，他相信就能修炼到武脉二重。
Ling Xiao knows what the result of waiting for him in a year will be, but he will not give up. If he can practice from the beginning to the first level of martial art, he believes that he will be able to cultivate to the second level of martial art.
凌霄此时修炼的是凌氏家族的基础武学——“蛮牛劲”。
Ling Xiao is practicing the basic martial arts of the Ling family-“Manniu Jin”.
“蛮牛劲”是最普通的基础武学，它囊括了功法与武技，既可以提升境界，又可以用来战斗，算是低级武者最喜欢的一种基础武学了。
“Manniu Jin” is the most common basic martial arts. It includes martial arts and martial arts. It can not only improve the realm, but also can be used for combat. It is a basic martial arts favorite of low-level martial artists.
这套“蛮牛劲”，因为练习次数实在太多，以至于凌霄打出去的时候竟有了一种浑然天成的感觉，说明他还是比较适合习武的。
This set of “Bull Jin”, because the number of exercises is so much that when Ling Xiao hits out, he has a completely natural feeling, which shows that he is still more suitable for martial arts.
这普通武学虽然很普通，但也同样有等级之分——基础、初级、中级、高级、顶尖！
Although this ordinary martial arts is very ordinary, it also has levels-basic, beginner, intermediate, advanced, top!
五个级别，“蛮牛劲”只是最普通的基础武学。
There are five levels, “Manniu Jin” is just the most common basic martial arts.
这等级划分自然不是为了好玩，而是因为等级越高，修炼功法的效果会更好，武技威力会更大。
This level of division is naturally not for fun, but because the higher the level, the better the effect of the exercises and the greater the power of martial arts.
凌霄只不过是扩充的外门弟子，连凌家的血统都没有，再加上并没有表现出什么过人的天赋，所以他能修炼的也就只能是基础武学了，哪怕是初级武学，都是没资格接触的。
Ling Xiao is just an expanded outer disciple. He doesn’t even have the lineage of the Ling family. In addition, he doesn’t show any extraordinary talents, so he can only practice basic martial arts. Even the junior martial arts, are not qualified to contact.
“感觉快突破了，可是总是卡在了最关键的地方，唉，要是能有一枚突破丹就好了。”
“It feels like a breakthrough, but it is always stuck in the most critical place. Alas, if only there is a breakthrough pill.”
练了很长时间了，凌霄拿出水袋喝了口水，心里头想着自己的无奈。
has been practicing for a long time, Ling Xiao took out the water bag and drank, thinking of her helplessness in her heart.
通过这将近一年时间的观察，他算是看明白了，自己不比任何人差，甚至可以说因为比较刻苦，按理说修炼进境应该更快才对。
After nearly a year of observation, he can see that he is no worse than anyone. It can even be said that because of the hard work, it is reasonable to say that the cultivation should be faster.
其实问题还是出在了功法和丹药上。
In fact, the problem still lies in the exercises and pill.
凌家本族人以及那些有钱的外门弟子，要么有更高一级的修炼功法，要么就是有钱购买突破丹来协助突破。
Ling family members and those wealthy outer disciples, either have a higher level of practice, or they have the money to buy breakthrough pills to help them break through.
那些武脉二重的弟子，基本上都用过突破丹。
The disciples of Wumai Duozhong have basically used Breakthrough Pills.
这种丹药并不算太贵，也没有副作用，可凌霄就是买不起，凌家能提供给他吃喝，已经是最大的仁义了，不可能给他发银子的。
This kind of pill is not too expensive, and it has no side effects, but Ling Xiao just can’t afford it. The Ling family can provide him with food and drink, which is the greatest benevolence and righteousness. It is impossible to give him money.
“滚开，早就给你这废物说过了，这里是我的专属用地，你没资格在这里修炼！”
“Go away, I told you this waste a long time ago, this is my exclusive land, you are not qualified to practice here!”
当太阳已经完全升起的时候，已经是一个时辰之后了，凌霄收拾了一下东西，准备离开，因为他不想跟凌家本族的人起冲突。
When the sun had completely risen, it was already an hour later, Ling Xiao packed up his things and was about to leave, because he didn’t want to conflict with the people of the Ling family.
然而还是迟了。
But it was still too late.
一声暴喝响起，正是凌家本族弟子凌冲。
there was a loud shout, it was Ling Chong, a disciple of the Ling family.
说话间，凌冲甚至跳上高台，一把推向了凌霄，幸亏凌霄一直刻苦修炼，所以虽然境界没有突破，但身体却很结实，别看他面有菜色，然而瘦弱的身体里力量却是不小。
While speaking, Ling Chong even jumped onto the high platform and pushed to Ling Xiao. Fortunately, Ling Xiao has been practicing hard, so although he has not broken through the realm, his body is very strong. Don’t look at his face, but he is thin. The strength in the body is not small.
凌冲并没有推动他，他就像是一棵老树一般扎在了那里。
Ling Chong didn’t push him, he stuck there like an old tree.
“凌冲，我与你无冤无仇，为何总是欺辱我？”
“Ling Chong, I have no grievances with you, why always insult me?”
凌霄心中恼怒，对方这样对他，已经不是第一次了。
Ling Xiao was angry, and it was not the first time that the other party treated him like this.
“笑话，你以为老子真喜欢欺负你个废物啊，只是你这耳朵不管用罢了，早就警告过你不要在这里练武了，别把你的那种废物气传染给了我们。”
“Joke, you think I really like to bully you with trash. It’s just that your ears don’t work. You have warned you not to practice martial arts here. Don’t spread your trash gas to us.”
凌冲看着凌霄，眼神中透着戏谑与玩味。
Ling Chong looked at Ling Xiao with joking and playfulness in his eyes.
没错，他就是故意的，可那又怎么着，所有扩充进来的外门弟子，就这个凌霄敢不听他的话，不找凌霄麻烦找谁麻烦？
That’s right, he did it on purpose, but what about it, all the outer disciples who have expanded in, just this Ling Xiao dare not listen to him, and who will trouble Ling Xiao if he doesn’t?
凌家本族弟子都有一种与生俱来的傲然感觉，觉得扩充进来的外门弟子都只是挂着弟子名头的仆役而已，可以任意驱使。
The disciples of the Ling family have an innate sense of pride, feeling that the expanded outer disciples are just servants with the name of the disciple, and they can be driven at will.
所以几乎所有外门弟子都遭受过本家弟子的欺负~IndoMTL.com~只不过有些人选择了沉默，有些人选择了摇尾乞怜，而凌霄则选择了不卑不亢而已。
So almost all outside disciples have been bullied by their own disciples~IndoMTL.com~ It’s just that some people choose to be silent, some people choose to beg for mercy, and Ling Xiao chooses not to be humble or overbearing.
凌霄不想惹麻烦，可是如果不在练武场练武，那就必须要走出很远才能找到合适的练武场，他还要照顾爷爷，太远了根本不行。
Ling Xiao didn’t want to cause trouble, but if he didn’t practice martial arts in the martial arts field, he would have to go far to find a suitable martial arts field. He had to take care of his grandfather, too far away.
“凌冲，你真没用，连这个外门小子都推不下练武台，你怎么混的啊？”
“Ling Chong, you are really useless, even this outsider can’t push off the martial arts platform, how did you mess with it?”
“就是，你好歹也是武脉二重的武者吧，这小子可是武脉一重啊，你力气还没他大？”
“That is, you are also a martial artist of the second level of martial arts anyway, this kid is the first level of martial arts, you are not as strong as him?”
“赶紧点凌冲，把这小子赶走，咱们还要训练呢。”
”Hurry up, Ling Chong, chase this kid away, we still have to train.”
跟凌冲一起的要么是本族弟子，要么就是投靠这些本族弟子的外门弟子，反正都是一些喜欢看热闹的主儿。
Together with Ling Chong are either his own disciples or the outer disciples who have taken refuge in these own disciples. Anyway, they are all masters who like to watch the excitement.
毕竟看热闹不嫌事儿大嘛。
After all, it’s not too much to watch the excitement.
“他娘的，你们敢瞧不起老子，我现在就一掌把这小子拍下去，让他知道什么叫做武者！”
“Damn, you dare to look down on Lao Tzu, I will shoot this kid down with one palm, let him know what a martial artist is!”
凌冲被激将法刺激，很是轻蔑地看了凌霄一眼，突然间一掌拍出，直接印在了凌霄的胸口之上。
Ling Chong was stimulated by the violent general method, and he glanced at Ling Xiao contemptuously, and suddenly a palm shot was printed directly on Ling Xiao’s chest.
“够了吗？”
“Is it enough?”
凌霄嘴角溢出了鲜血，不过他没有倒下，也没有飞出去。
Blood spilled from the corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth, but he didn’t fall down or fly out.
他可以借着飞出去避免伤害，但他不想，人一旦有了一次退缩，一次惧怕，那么就会养成这样的毛病。
He can avoid injury by flying out, but he doesn’t want to, once people shrink back and fear once, then they will develop such a problem.
他不情愿！
He is reluctant!
“这小子！找死啊！”凌冲怒了，飞起一脚踢向了凌霄。
”This kid! Looking for death!” Ling Chong was angry and flew up and kicked Ling Xiao.
凌霄突然一口血喷出去，吓得凌冲急忙躲避，这一脚居然踢空了，直接飞出了练武台。
Ling Xiao suddenly spit out blood, so scared that Ling Chong hurriedly dodged, he kicked it empty and flew directly out of the martial arts platform.
看了看掉在练武台下的凌冲，凌霄脸上露出了一丝笑容，然后身子一晃，倒在了地上，昏倒了。
looked at Ling Chong who had fallen under the martial arts stage, Ling Xiao showed a smile on his face, then shook his body, fell to the ground and passed out.
