Chapter 16

Inside the ring, two teenage boys were having a fierce fight.

“Go down.” There was a loud shout and Ye Qing swept his leg out like a tiger, kicking a disciple off the ring.

“Young Master Ye Qing’s strength improved a lot. Judging from his cultivation, he should have broken through the fourth level of body tempering,” an elder by the side praised.

Ye Qing had won five rounds in a row since taking part in the competition. He also ranked third place in the competition. He might have ended up in the top three and be granted with honor.

He was also Ye Fengcheng’s son, who was in charge of the Ye family’s mine. It was said that Ye Fengcheng was a candidate as the next head of the family.

The elders of the Ye family would naturally butter up to him.

“His fist techniques are too fierce and powerful, but it’s not flexible.” Ye Gu shook his head.

Ye Gu swept around the crowd with the corner of his eye.

A trace of disappointment flashed past his eyes when he could not get a glimpse of the mother and daughter of the Ye family.

He thought that the girl would join the competition this time.

After Ye Qing won, he had a proud expression on his face as he glanced at the crowd in search of a particular face. It had been three days, but he hadn’t seen that little b*stard, Ye Lingyue.

He snorted.

“Ye Yinshuang, where’s that fool? Didn’t she make a bet with me that she will take part in the competition? It’s the third day already. Could it be that she couldn’t afford to lose and became a scaredy-cat?” Ye Qing had just finished speaking when someone laughed from below the ring.

After realizing that Ye Lingyue hadn’t attended the martial arts school for the past month, Ye Qing was certain that the fool ran away.

“Ye Qing, don’t assume things too much. If Lingyue doesn’t show up, I will take her place.” Ye Yinshuang leaped to the ring like an agile bird.

Ye Yinshuang had also won five rounds and ranked seventh in the competition.

“Come on then. If you lose, you’ll have to crawl like a dog with that fool.” Ye Qing guffawed.

He thought in his heart, ‘Ye Yinshuang, don’t think I’m not aware that you’ve just broken through the fourth level of body tempering the other day. Do you think you can compete with me? Dream on.’

“Ye Qing, take that.” The elementary force from Ye Yinshuang’s body surged out. Her body surged as she went up against Ye Qing.

But at that moment, there was a sneer on Ye Qing’s lips. A silver metallic light flashed past his arm and four lightning bolts suddenly shot towards Ye Yinshuang.

Four lightning bolts?

It shocked Ye Yinshuang. She did not expect that Ye Qing could hit four lightning bolts at one go.

If the four lightning bolts hit Ye Yinshuang, it might hurt her so badly.

Ye Qing was too much for being so hard on a member of the main family.

Ye Gu was frowning as he watched the scene before his very eyes, and something shot out from between his sleeves.

At that moment, Ye Yinshuang’s knees felt numb and she fell to the ground. As she stumbled, four lightning bolts flew over her head.

Ye Yinshuang thought that she would get hurt this time, but she had unexpectedly avoided it. Even her eyes were full of disbelief.

“Ye Qing, I am your opponent.” A clear female voice fell across the crowd and into the ears of everyone.

The crowd dispersed and a dirty-looking person walked over.

When the person walked closer, the people could then see that the person who spoke was Ye Lingyue.

“That’s Ye Lingyue, the mentally impaired daughter of the Third Young Miss.”

“Why does she look like a beggar?”

Under the scornful eyes of the people, Ye Lingyue’s expression was calm as she passed through the crowd.

Ye Gu’s eyes flashed. The others ignored what had happened in the ring, but Ye Gu, who was a Postnatal Peak Master, knew exactly what had happened.

There was an inconspicuous stone by Ye Yinshuang’s foot.

That stone was…

“Lingyue, you’re here.” Her appearance surprised Ye Yinshuang.

The way Ye Lingyue looked had changed a lot compared to a month ago.

Although her clothes were in rags, her temperament was like a sharpened sword with an unusual edge all over her body.

Ye Lingyue nodded and stepped into the ring.

“Ye Lingyue, how dare you still come? It’s a pity you came late. Today is the last day of the competition. You’re bound to lose,” Ye Qing mocked.

“It’s hard to say. The rules of the Ye family’s competition states that newcomers can challenge the top ten players at will, and the winner can take their place. You’re the first one I want to challenge.” Ye Lingyue pointed to Ye Qing.

“Do you have a death wish?” Ye Qing snorted and jumped. His fists were full of elementary force, unleashing Broken Thunder Fist into full play. He then smashed his fists towards Ye Lingyue.

Four lightning bolts akin to hungry wolves rushed towards Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue did not avoid it and instead raised her hands so that their fists would collide.

Boom…

Five lightning bolts engulfed Ye Qing’s four lightning bolts.

Ye Lingyue’s fist smashed Ye Qing’s fist technique, and from there, her punch landed on Ye Qing’s stomach. Bones cracking from Ye Qing’s abdomen resounded in the air, and soon, Ye Lingyue threw him out of the ring like a leaf.

As he flew, he accidentally dropped something on the ring.

“Ugh.” Blood spurted out of Ye Qing’s mouth. “How could it be… five bolts?”

Looking at the ring, Ye Gu’s pupils constricted.

Five lightning bolts. That girl had unleashed a Broken Thunder Fist with five lightning bolts.

Broken Thunder Fist was a fist technique that most of the Ye family’s disciples from the main family know. However, those who could master five lightning bolts and above were all young people in their twenties and thirties.

Ye Lingyue was only 13 years old. From what Ye Gu knew, Ye Lingyue had been practicing Broken Thunder Fist for over a month.

Ye Gu’s eyes became slightly dazed and his gaze on Ye Lingyue also gradually changed.

The same aloof and uninhibited figure, and the same stubborn temper. The Ye Lingyue in front of him was so similar to Ye Fengyu from before.

The venue was in an uproar. After winning, Ye Lingyue’s expression was calm. She stood on the ring looking down at Ye Qing, who was like a pool of mud.

“Ye Qing, you lost. Admit defeat. Didn’t you say you will pay me back twice?” Ye Lingyue’s words were like sharp needles, making Ye Qing turn pale.

“Ye Lingyue, don’t go too far.” Ye Qing looked guiltily at his father, Ye Fengcheng.

Ye Fengcheng’s expression was livid. He fixed his stare at Ye Lingyue, but Ye Fengcheng did not dare to be presumptuous in the presence of Ye Gu.

Crawling like a dog and to call his father a b*stard in front of the whole Ye family. If Ye Qing did that, how could he and Ye Fengcheng keep a foothold in the Ye family?

Ye Qing wanted to faint at this moment.

“Ye Qing, are you going back on your words?” Ye Lingyue’s tone was pressing.

“Lingyue, since we are cousins, let’s just forget about this bet.” Ye Qing’s voice was a little weaker.

Forget about it? Ye Lingyue smiled coldly. She was about to refuse when her eyes landed on the thing Ye Qing had dropped on the ring.
