Hearing this, even Ye Hao could not help but smile wryly. The few people the old man was talking about could be said to be the pinnacle geniuses within the younger generation of Black Lake City. They were indeed able to take over this year's Tianxuan Academy quota.

At this moment, Ye Hao couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't been unable to cultivate for four whole years, he was confident that he would not be weaker than any of them.

Noticing the look on the youth's face, Ye Yunfeng suddenly laughed and comforted, "Don't worry too much. Grandpa is still around. If the worst comes to the worst, this old man will not be the clan leader."

Looking at the smiling Ye Yunfeng, Ye Hao still saw a hint of hidden bitterness on his aged and tired face. It was the feeling of helplessness of a hero dying.

Ye Hao couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. The Ye family was the old man's life's work, and he couldn't allow this to happen.

Moreover, he knew that even if his grandfather voluntarily stepped down from the position of Patriarch, the Great Elder's bloodline would definitely eliminate him.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Hao said with a stern expression, "Grandfather, even if there's only half a year left, I will definitely be able to get a placing in Tianxuan Academy.

He looked at the young man's pretty face, which had an incomparably resolute expression on it, and nodded with gratification: "It's good that you have the heart, you don't have to force yourself too much. Grandfather has always believed in your talent, but you were wasted for four years, and now only have half a year left …"

As he said this, he waved his hand with a smile: "Let's not talk about this. I came here to tell you that after entering the Martial Hall, you should train properly and try your best to become as strong as you can. Also …" "Keep this properly."

The spirit energy in Ye Yunfeng's palm flickered and a cyan jade slip appeared in his hand. He gently smiled and handed it over to Ye Hao.

After receiving the jade slip, a wave of warmth filled the air. He then curiously brought the jade slip closer to his forehead. Suddenly, the jade slip emitted a bright green light and a huge amount of information suddenly poured into Ye Hao's mind.

"This is …"

The information that suddenly poured in caused him to frown uncomfortably. After he clearly understood this information, his face suddenly became joyous as he said in shock, "Cloud Pursuing Steps? "Movement technique!"

Ye Hao had a deep understanding of the power of movement skills when he was being hunted.

It had to be known that cultivators that cultivated in movement techniques had too great of an advantage in battle. Because of the difference in speed, it would determine the outcome of a battle to a large extent.

Because of this, any movement ability was ridiculously expensive and hard to acquire.

According to Ye Hao's knowledge, even with the background of the Ye family, there were only three of these magical powers. They were all stored in the Martial Hall and ordinary people could not obtain them. Only the disciples of the Martial Hall had the right to practice them.

"Although you have successfully become a Martial Hall disciple and can choose a technique to cultivate in the Martial Hall tomorrow, there are many techniques that do not affect your body. If you practice the Cloud Pursuing Steps, you will not have to mess with the Martial Hall tomorrow." Seemingly extremely satisfied with Ye Hao's reaction, Ye Yunfeng said with a smile.

Indeed, right now, Ye Hao's heart was filled with desire for the movement technique. If he didn't have the Cloud Pursuing Steps in his hands, he would have chosen the movement technique in the Martial Hall tomorrow.

"Grandfather, this … Is it all right? " Ye Hao blinked his eyes. The elder's actions were like opening a back door for him. If this was known by the other families, it would inevitably arouse criticism.

"Tch, all these years the Great Elder had given Ye Tianlin countless resources, both in public and in secret. I was only giving my own grandson a movement technique. Who would dare to say anything?" Ye Yunfeng coldly snorted as if he was being unreasonable.

Ye Hao grinned and stopped pretending. Right now, what he was most anxious about was increasing his strength as soon as possible.

"Alright, then I won't disturb your rest."

When he arrived at the door, he suddenly turned around and jokingly said: "Speaking of which, that girl from the Bai Clan will be back soon. At that time, you should go and get closer to her. Although you have not seen her since she was born in the Royal City, I heard that she has already displayed an extremely beautiful symbol."

"Huh?" Ye Hao didn't know what was going on, but the old man had already closed the door and left.

Shaking his head speechlessly, Ye Hao let out a light breath. His black eyes gradually turned cold as he faintly said: "Peak of Tempering Body … …" "Ye Tianlin, even if there is still half a year left, I will still fight for a placing in Tianxuan Academy."

Since the Great Elder's faction wanted to plot against the Ye Family and harbor killing intent towards him, Ye Hao naturally wouldn't care about his own kin's status.

"Half a year... It's really urgent. " Ye Hao's expression was solemn. If he was given more time, he was confident that he would be able to contend against Ye Tianlin.

However, with only half a year left and he was only at Tempered Body 6th Layer, how could it be easy for him to compete with Ye Tianlin for a placing?

After all, Ye Tianlin had long since reached the Great Perfection of the Body Tempering realm and had accumulated for a long time. His current strength could be said to be deep and unfathomable.

And in just half a year, even cultivators with decent talent wouldn't be able to break through. Not to mention Ye Hao, who had just broken through Tempered Body 6th Layer.

When he thought of this, Ye Hao couldn't help but think of the enormous amount of Qi and blood left in his body by the mysterious blood essence. If he could completely fuse and refine this power, he would definitely be able to completely crush Ye Tianlin.

"Let's give it a try." After muttering to himself, Ye Hao didn't waste any more time and slowly closed his eyes.

"..."

One night without words

Early in the morning, mottled sunlight poured into the room from the windows. The interior of the house was gradually lit up as dust floated about, filling the air with warmth.

At a certain moment, Ye Hao, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly let out a light breath. He slowly raised his eyelids and shook his head, feeling a little discouraged.

Throughout the entire night, he could be said to have done everything he could to absorb the spirit energy of the world to suppress his flesh and blood, or to use his mind to communicate with it. However, the power that lay dormant deep within his flesh and blood was like a pool of stagnant water.

"Could it be that my current realm isn't high enough?" Ye Hao frowned in thought, but he still didn't have a clue.

After a long while, he looked at the sky outside his room and sighed. He said helplessly, "Let's go to the Martial Hall first."

Although there was only half a year left, that drop of blood essence was mysterious. No matter how anxious he was in his heart, it was useless. He could only slowly study it.

"Huh?" After standing up and stretching his body, a burst of cracking sounds came from his bones. Ye Hao suddenly exclaimed in surprise. After staring blankly for a while, his delicate face couldn't help but show a strong sense of joy.

During the entire night, he spent his mind to feel the hibernating strength in his flesh and blood, completely not noticing his injuries, which had already recovered a lot during the night. Even the two most serious penetrating wounds on his abdomen and legs were only faintly aching at this moment, as if they would completely heal in a few more days.

"The feeling is quite good." While moving his limbs, Ye Hao clicked his tongue in wonder. He couldn't help but suspect that his current recovery ability was not much worse than that of a demon beast with a strong physique.

"Ye Hao, are you there?" Just as he was rejoicing, Ye Ze's voice came from outside the yard.
