It was already past noon and the guests in the Qingyuan Town had already finished eating. The main event that followed was the Ye Family's family competition. Now, it was the competition that decided the top five of the Ye Family's younger generation.
"Second Master, today's family competition, Ye Feng will most likely win for sure. In my opinion, even if this family competition does not compete, the chief of the group should have a good idea of who he is. "
Ye Guming shook her head and smiled. Although the words she spoke were humble, the arrogance on his face could not be any more obvious.
On the stage, someone suddenly announced loudly, "The victor of the semifinals has been decided. The top five are Ye Qing, Ye Feng, Ye Qian, Ye Ming, and Ye Nan. As Ye Feng was the champion of the previous family competition, he enjoyed special privileges, so five people in a battle like this would have no chance at all. The other four will fight him separately, and decide who will be number one and who will fight Ye Feng. "
"Now, let's start the match between Ye Qian and Ye Nan!"
Ye Nan was one of the younger generation in the Ye Family. In terms of age, he and Ye Feng were about the same, and at eighteen this year, he actually had the cultivation of spiritual building period.
She was a year younger than Ye Feng and Ye Nan. She was only seventeen years old, yet, despite possessing a deep cultivation profound enough spiritual building period, she was holding onto the Jade Maiden Sword in her hands with the greatest perfection, her strength was astonishing.
What was even more difficult was that, as a woman, she was able to break through the layers of eliminations and enter the arena for the top five rankings. She was beautiful, and her aptitude was high. Such a woman was naturally the focus of everyone's attention, causing them to sigh in admiration and admiration.
"Ye Qian, I know it's not easy for you to fight your way up to this place by yourself, but the one who wants to be the champion today can only be me, not you."
Ye Nan's expression was cold, and was not affected in the slightest by Ye Qian's beautiful appearance, as he shook his head and said.
In fact, after many generations, the Ye Family had many complicated bloodlines. Although everyone had the surname Ye, the blood relationship between them was not deep. This also led to many young men and women of the Ye Family to marry and have children.
For example, although Ye Qian was a member of the Ye Family, this woman did not have any deep blood ties to or from Ye Feng. Even if they were married, no one would say anything.
"Aren't you being too arrogant? Let's see the truth from your words."
Ye Qian's beautiful face was frosted over, her actions were crisp and clean, and did not look like the delicate flower she looked on the surface. The three-finger-wide sword was suddenly unsheathed, and under the shake of the wrist, which was as white as jade, several beautiful sword flowers splashed out, flying straight towards Ye Nan!
"Come at me!"
Ye Nan bellowed, his fists struck out like a fierce tiger, releasing an incomparably strong force. On the stage, there was no rule that no one was allowed to use weapons, so Ye Qian used swords, and he chose to use his own fists as his weapons!
What was surprising was that when his fists clashed with the sword, Ye Nan actually did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
"Ye Nan's fist techniques have become more refined. If he were to cultivate this Arhat Fist to the primary orifice stage, he would be able to unleash half of an ordinary martial skill's power, and even more!"
Ye Nan's performance was astonishing.
Before the primary orifice stage, many warriors would choose to cultivate some martial arts moves. Although these martial arts were not as powerful as martial arts, in the Body Refinement, they were more than enough.
As for Ye Xing, he did not specially study some popular martial arts, because he felt that he would definitely be able to break through his primary orifice stage and obtain a powerful martial art since he was young. There was no need to waste time on learning those superficial martial arts.
But even so, Ye Xing did not waste his time, he would not study those martial arts, but would work hard on some basic fist techniques, blade techniques and sword techniques. What he studied were the most basic moves, which were also known as the basic techniques.
His father had once told him that one of the most important things to train in martial arts was one's foundation. That was why he forced himself to practice those extremely boring basic techniques every day in order to prepare for his future learning of martial arts.
It proved that what Ye Xing's father said was correct. Even though the current Ye Xing had not learnt any martial skills, he would not be at a disadvantage even if he were to fight with Yuanzhi realm martial artist which possessed a martial skill!
This was because each and every one of Ye Xing's moves had long been assimilated into his heart during actual combat. They were all the simplest and most effective methods to deal with his enemies.
His gaze shifted back to the arena.
Ye Nan's fist techniques were indeed powerful, every move revealed a flaw in Ye Qian's sword technique, but's sword arts was clearly superior, no matter how fierce the former was, she could use the smallest amount of strength to resolve it.
With this increase in energy, Ye Nan gradually lost all of his strength and started breathing heavily.
"Jade Maiden Sword!"
Just at that moment, Ye Qian shouted out, and thrusted out with a spiralling force, the force of the attack actually broke through Ye Nan's fist technique, and went straight for her throat!
"You lost."
The family competition talked about stopping at the point, never killing anyone. So when Ye Qian's sword tip reached three inches away from Ye Nan's throat, it stopped in its tracks.
"Sigh!" "It is my skill that is inferior."
Seeing that he almost pierced his own sword, Ye Nan let out a long sigh, and decisively jumped off the stage.
"Ye Qian wins!"
Under the cheers of the Ye Family youths, Ye Qian proudly walked back to the resting area on the stage, preparing for the next battle. She was extremely popular amongst the younger generation of the Ye Clan, especially among those youths that had just started their love life, and she was even regarded as a goddess.
"Next match, Ye Qing against Ye …."
At this time, the elder who was in charge of the announcement was about to say something, but from afar, a loud laugh came, interrupting the lively atmosphere.
"Haha, I never thought that there would be so many talents in family competition this year. My Ye Family is going to be prosperous soon!"
An old man with gray hair and an outrageously ruddy complexion immediately strode over from a short distance away. The moment he appeared, everyone's attention was focused on him. Above the stage, the expressions of Ye Guming and his father slightly changed.
"Ye Guhong, I never thought that you would actually come out of seclusion today!"
A cold light flashed deep within Ye Guming's eyes.
That's right, this old man was Ye Xing's grandfather, the current Patriarch of the Ye Family, Ye Guhong!
"Patriarch, you have finally come out! Could it be that you have already achieved a breakthrough? "
"Congratulations, you have successfully come out!"
Many Ye Family members and guests all revealed faces of joy as they cupped their hands and congratulated Ye Guhong. Another meaning of Ye Guhong coming out of seclusion was that he had already broken through the shackles of many years and successfully broke through to the mastery of the Yuanfu Realm!
"Big brother, congratulations."
Ye Guming had a smile on her face as she pretended to congratulate them. On the other side, Ye Zezheng also hurriedly bowed in greeting, but no one knew the coldness deep in their eyes.
"Thank you, second brother, I was just lucky this time."
Ye Guhong who had just broken through was obviously very happy and could not help but laugh out loud. Immediately after, he swept a glance through the crowd, and it was as if she did not see the person she wanted to see. Her brows slightly creased, and asked: "That's right, Second Brother, where did Xing Er go? Did he not come to participate in this session's family competition? "
When those words were said, the atmosphere immediately froze. The Ye Family elders all held their breath and remained silent, not daring to speak, they could only look at Ye Guming. The news of Ye Xing's "death" was already known to everyone, even to some of the guests in Qingyuan Town, but they did not dare tell Ye Guhong.
It was because they knew that Ye Guhong was different from them. The former cared deeply about his "trash" grandson, Ye Xing.
"Big Brother, actually, your grandson Ye Xing has already …"
Ye Guming laughed coldly in her heart, but on the surface, he revealed an extremely sorrowful expression. In fact, even in his dreams she wished to see Ye Guhong know that her grandson had died.
However, right at this moment, clear laughter suddenly sounded from not too far away.
"Grandfather, isn't your grandson here?"
This voice attracted the attention of almost everyone present. Following the direction of the voice, they saw a handsome, smiling youth. The youth gently jumped several tens of feet into the air.
"Such skill!" Was that person really Ye Xing? Didn't he become a cripple long ago? "
A girl from the Ye family said in surprise, her eyes shining brightly.
"How is this little bastard still alive?!"
At the same time, Ye Guming and Ye Zezheng's face changed. The former looked at the latter with eyes full of anger and blame. Ye Xing's appearance had caught them somewhat unprepared, because three months ago, they had sent a primary orifice stage Elder to assassinate this youth.
But after three months, not only had Ye Xing disappeared, even that Elder Ye Xiang from the primary orifice stage had not received any news at all.
Subconsciously, they thought that Ye Xing should have died a long time ago.
After all, asking a practitioner of primary orifice stage to assassinate a youth of eclosion was like asking to kill a chicken with a blade. However, they had forgotten that before Ye Xiang, they had also sent Du Sheng, who was also from the same Yuanzhi realm martial artist, but in the end, Ye Xing was still alive and well while Du Sheng had disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that his cultivation has truly recovered?"
After Ye Xing appeared, Ye Feng's expression changed slightly, he frowned and then relaxed: "So what if my cultivation has recovered, my current realm is not something he can touch. "Trash, will always be trash."
"Xing Er, your cultivation …."
Ye Guhong was surprised and happy at the same time. His hands trembled as she grabbed onto Ye Xing's shoulders, her eyes revealed a dense amount of love and love.
"Grandfather, let's talk later."
Ye Xing laughed and shook his head, then gently pushed away his hands.
The current him did not want Ye Guhong to get too close to him, because he was afraid that the latter would smell the stench of blood on his body. What no one noticed was that the steel saber in his hand had actually been stained with blood just now.
No one knew where he went and what he did before he came to the training field.
He did not want to reveal the abnormality of his body too quickly, because he still wanted to give some people a big surprise at a later moment.
