Book 1 - What Is A Genius

Chapter 3 - Commotion During Morning's Training.

Translated by: toomuchnoob

Although the remaining sibling were not geniuses who’d attained the seventh level, with respect to their current age, they could easily be considered as the selection of a generation. Therefore, the reputation of the He family was the same as that of the sun in the sky.

He family’s rules were very strict. All the third generation children who’d not yet attained the sixth level were required to undergo early morning training. By the time He Yiming returned, loud shouts could be heard coming from the training ground of the family.

He Yiming raised his head, looked towards the sky once, and lightly sighed. Without caring about his completely drenched body in the slightest, he directly arrived on the training ground.

At this moment, five disciples of the third generation were performing the basic exercises on the training ground. These five were the disciples who’d not yet attained the sixth level. Three males and two females; even He Yitao was included.

At the ground’s entrance, a man with a tall build was standing with hands behind his back. Even though he was standing in such a posture, his stern expression gave off an immense pressure.

Hi Yiming immediately walked forward, arrived at his side, and said in a low voice:

“Third uncle.”

The big man was precisely He Yiming’s third uncle He Quanyi. He turned towards He Yiming. At first, his eyes had a trace of anger, however, after looking at He Yiming’s sorry figure, he couldn’t help but blankly ask:

“Why have you come so late, and why are you dripping wet?”

He Yiming’s face turned slightly red as he said in a m.u.f.fled voice:

“Third uncle, yesterday night, I was performing night time’s horse stance half way above the mountain. As I was coming down, my clothes got dirty, and while cleaning them by the lake, I fell down in the water by mistake.”

The anger on He Quanyi’s face gradually dispersed away, and he said:

“He Yiming, I know you are very diligent, but you should not go out in the night.”

“Yes.” He Yiming said.

The former waved his hands and said: “Go change your clothes and catch up on your sleep first.”

He Yiming faintly bowed and returned back to his room at a lightning fast speed. Quickly and efficiently, he changed into a new training outfit, returned back to the training ground, and joined his siblings.

As He Quanyi saw the tenacious expression on He Yiming’s face, he softly shook his head and let out a sigh.

The training was finally over; going on for three hours since dawn’s fist light . He Quanyi stopped shouting and again gave a few instructions before finally leaving.

As soon as he was separated by a significant distance, all the small children immediately sat down on the ground at the same time. Even the two girls were no exceptions.

He Yiming’s vision swept through his siblings once. Consequently, just like before, he turned around and began to walk away.

“Yiming, when are you going to advance from the fifth layer?” A lazy voice sounded from somewhere among the youngsters.

He Yiming, without even turning, knew that the one who had asked this question was He Yi Zhang who was two years bigger than him.

In the family, his eldest uncle, He Quan Xin, had four sons: the eldest son He Yitian, the second son He Yihai, the fifth son He Yizhang, and the seventh son He Yiyu. His father, He Quanming, had two sons and one daughter: His brother He Yixuan was the third in the ranking, then came he himself - sixth in the ranking, followed his younger sister, He Yilong- eighth in the ranking. As for his third uncle, he’d one son and one daughter: his fourth older sister, He Yiling, and his little brother He Yitao.

They had the same clan, however, the interactions among the younger generation were both good and bad.

The four brothers from his eldest uncle’s family had always been together. Furthermore, He Yitian, the eldest grandson of the eldest son, was a peerless genius. Despite only being twenty years old, he’d already attained the seventh layer of the Internal energy.

The children of the second uncle and third uncle were a bit closer to each other. On the whole, the interactions between the members of the third generation were pretty much harmonious.

Currently, among the third generation, He Yitian, He Yihai, and He Yixuan had already attained the sixth level or higher and thus were not required to attend the daily morning training.

And the one who’d talked was He Yizhang, who was ranked fifth among the third generation.

He Yiming’s footsteps halted. He lightly groaned as he said: “I haven’t breakthrough yet. Fifth brother, don’t tell me you are going to breakthrough?”

He Yizhang grinned and said: “Only a year has pa.s.sed since my last breakthrough, how can I breakthrough again so quickly? However, sixth brother, you have already spent four years at this stage. Back then your timing of advancing into the fifth layer was more or less about the same as that of the second brother and the third brother. Now, they’d already advanced long ago, and you are still stuck on the same step. You should put more effort.”

He Yiming’s brows faintly rose. His heart was wildly throbbing, however, he didn’t even turn before he coldly said:

“Many thanks for the fifth brother’s concern. I know.”

After finis.h.i.+ng his words, he began to walk ahead in large strides.

He Yizhang sighed loudly and spoke in a taunting manner:

“Sixth brother, in my opinion, you should change your cultivation technique, perhaps you might just attain the sixth level in a single stretch.”
