Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It only took three days to break through from the first level of body tempering to the second level!
Now, it only took her fifteen days to break through from the second level of body tempering to the third level!
Ye Lingyue was probably the only one in the Ye family to have such an alarming break through speed.
Even Ye Fengyu, who was once the Ye family pride, was dumbfounded when she heard that her daughter had broken through once more.
However, it could be because her daughter had the talent to cultivate! Ye Fengyu could only tell herself that.
After Ye Lingyue had reached the third level of body tempering, Ye Fengyu must start teaching her daughter the Ye family’s basic skills as promised.
“Great Xia’s martial arts is split into nine types. The ‘Broken Thunder Fist’ I’ll be teaching you today is one of the type nine moves, and it is a unique fist technique our Ye ancestors created. This technique is as strong as thunder and agile as lightning. After you’ve mastered it, you can emit six rays of blue lightning glow. It will enable you to break rocks and jades, hence why they called it the Broken Thunder Fist.” Ye Fengyu knew very well that her daughter was already attracted to martial arts.
However, according to the Ye family rules, only those who have reached the third level of body tempering were allowed to learn the basic skills. Hence why it was only until then that Ye Fengyu could teach Ye Lingyue the skills.
There were nine types of martial arts. Ye Lingyue had only just started, so knowing the levels was not her principal concern.
She only knew that when she dueled with Ye Qing that day, he had used the Broken Thunder Fist. However, Ye Qing only emitted two rays of blue glow, so he must not have mastered the technique yet.
“I will do the Broken Thunder First first. Please watch carefully.” With that said, Ye Fengyu waved her sleeve as her back arched a little. Next, Ye Lingyue watched as Ye Fengyu moved her legs.
Ye Lingyue’s eyes widened as she stared at her mother without blinking.
At the end of the move, six lightning bolts crackled like a storm, and instantly, even the surrounding air twisted.
Ye Fengyu wasn’t quick in her demonstration, but after she had finished the move, Ye Lingyue could only remember half of the move.
Ye Fengyu was very patient as she did the move again. This time, Ye Lingyue finally remembered the entire set of moves.
“Although the Broken Thunder Fist is only a type nine move, if you can muster all six lightning bolts and form a broken thunder force, it will be enough to break a large rock. You’ve just learned it, but as long as you can remember the steps, it will be a—” Ye Fengyu kept her fists as she spoke.
However, the moment she finished speaking, Ye Lingyue moved with her eyes full of spirit, moving like how Ye Fengyu did earlier. After a full move, she heard a loud crack and saw a blue lightning bolt emitting from her fist after she threw the punch.
That blue lightning bolt merely held on for a moment. But undoubtedly, it was the Broken Thunder Fist.
“There’s only one.” Ye Lingyue pouted, fairly unhappy with herself.
Even a person like Ye Qing could emit two rays of lightning. Yet, she could only emit one.
Ye Fengyu was speechless.
Her daughter could emit one lightning bolt in her first attempt at the Broken Thunder Fist. After her daughter had straightened up, she brought her too many surprises.
“Your speed isn’t on par yet. Practice a few more times and you will naturally be able to emit more lightning rays.” Ye Fengyu didn’t know to laugh or cry.
Just like that, the mother guided and the daughter practiced. Without them realizing, the skies turned black.
It was only until two lightning bolts flashed in the dark that the mother and daughter duo entered their house on a cheerful note.
Not too far away, Ye Gu stared at the mother and daughter with a grim expression.
1The sky was transitioning from the dark.
Outside of the northern estate, a shadow shook about.
Countless piercing punching sounds pierced the air. At dawn, four thunder crackles resounded one after another as the lightning bolts landed on an old tree. In an instant, the tree branches turned charred.
“I’ve finally emitted four lightning bolts. However, there’s still a long way before I can emit six.” Ye Lingyue wiped the sweat off her forehead.
After countless days of practice, she seemed to have some accomplishments in her Broken Thunder Fist.
At dawn, Ye Yinshuang came to bring Ye Lingyue to the martial arts hall as per usual.
“Lingyue, your skin is really good. We all train under the bright sun together. But why didn’t you get tanned?” Seeing how Ye Lingyue looked more and more pretty, Ye Yinshuang was envious.
Yinshuang was fifteen years old that year and girls her age were usually vain.
Her facial features were pretty good. But because she had trained in the martial arts hall since she was young and stood under the bright sun every day, her skin became more and more tanned. She looked like a small piece of charcoal! Because of this, her siblings and cousins at the Ye family laughed at her.
“I usually use this medicinal potion to bathe. I think it’s because of it. If you like it, you can take one and try it.” Ye Lingyue smiled brightly. Ye Yinshuang treated her pretty well, so giving her a bottle of concentrated Gathering Elemental potion wasn’t difficult.
Ye Yinshuang happily took the bottle.
The two finally arrived outside of the martial arts hall. However, the moment they arrived at the entrance, they saw Ye Qing blocking them from entering with his followers.
“Ye Lingyue, have you eaten the courage of a panther to dare to come to the martial arts hall?” Since Ye Fengyu had broken both of Ye Qing’s arms, Ye Qing had been recuperating at home.
Once he was better, the first thing he did at the martial arts hall was to settle things with Ye Lingyue.
“Sister Lingyue is Third Aunt’s daughter. Her surname is Ye as well. Why can’t she come to the martial arts hall?” Ye Yinshuang placed her hands on her waist, looking like she was about to scold everyone that crossed her.
“How is she a Ye family member? She’s only a little b*tch the Hong manor chased out.” Ye Qing laughed out loud.
“Ye Qing, you little…” Ye Yinshuang had already treated Lingyue as her good friend. With how righteous she was, anger filled her and she hurriedly approached the boy.
Suddenly, it seemed as though a layer of copper glow covered her body. It was a sign of being in the third level of body tempering.
However, Ye Qing remained calm as he coldly chuckled twice. Suddenly, his bones shook and loud cracks sounded. Bones branched out from his back and a pair of iron-like arms waved towards Yinshuang.
His arms and bones were as strong as iron. It was the sign of being in the fourth level of body tempering.
It was no wonder Ye Qing was fearless. It turned out that in the two weeks he had been recuperating, Ye Fengcheng gave him countless spiritual herbs. In his misery, he got it good from breaking through to the fourth level of body tempering.
“The fourth level of body tempering!”
With Ye Qing being in the fourth level of body tempering, he was way ahead of Ye Yinshuang.
Ye Yinshuang knew it was bad, but it was already too late for her to fall back.
Just as Ye Qing’s arms were about to hit Yinshuang, two blue lightning bolts moved ahead of Yinshuang and hit Ye Qing.
“Broken Thunder Fist.”
Two rays of blue bolts formed a powerful force like a lightning flashing past. Ye Qing’s arms turned numb as he took a large step back.
Ye Qing had the upper hand at first. But suddenly, the situation changed and everyone glanced towards where the blue bolts originated in shock.
Taking a proper look, the one who threw a punch was Ye Lingyue.
“Ye Lingyue, you dare to learn the Ye family martial art skill in secret? I will go tell Grandpa about it!” The Broken Thunder Fist had charred the skin on Ye Qing’s arms.
However, instead of being angry, he was happy instead. The Ye family rules said that one can only learn the basic skills after achieving the third level of body tempering. It had barely been a month since Ye Lingyue joined the martial arts hall. For a mere first level of body tempering to know how to use the Broken Thunder Fists, Ye Fengyu must have secretly taught her!
What a good Ye Fengyu! He hadn’t settled their previous animosity yet, but now she dared to violate the family rules once again.
This time, he must chase this useless mother and daughter out of the Ye family.
“Ye Qing, what else do you know apart from ratting out to Grandpa and your father? My mother properly taught me about the Broken Thunder First. We didn’t violate any family rules,” Ye Lingyue seriously said.
“You’re lying. Unless you broke through to the third level of body tempering, you can’t learn the Broken Thunder Fist.” Ye Qing was angry.
“If you can break through to the fourth level, why can’t I break through to the third level?” Ye Lingyue smirked, looking at Ye Qing like she was staring at an idiot.
