Book 1 - What Is A Genius

Chapter 5 - Sixth Layer Breakthrough.

Translated by: toomuchnoob

He Yiming slowly placed down the book in his hands and opened his eyes again. The expressions in his eyes were uncontrollably transforming, and his frame of mind was surging like a boiling liquid.

At this moment, he remembered the days when he’d been cultivating at a lightning fast speed; everybody’s astonished glances, his father’s joyful smiling expression, his elder’s harmonious gazes….

However, after bearing so many expectations, he eventually failed to endure the pressure. Numerous years felt like a day as if the time had stuck in place, causing his body to gradually lose its splendor. His status in the family also began to decline year by year. Although no one specifically pointed it out, it was apparent through some details.

The reason why He Yiming began to practice late night was also in order to alleviate the anger in his heart.

If this situation had continued on, a fight between siblings most probably would have broken out one day. However, fortunately, this Ripple technique’s had provided him with a new hope.

His eyes, which were s.h.i.+ning like stars, slowly closed down, and the surging tides in his mind also quietened down gradually.

At this critical juncture, strangely, He Yiming was completely relaxed.

He himself was not clear on why he could enter such a state of mind. However, he was clear that this state of mind was extremely advantageous for what he was just about to do.

The course of the Ripple technique’s sixth layer quickly emerged in his mind.

Inside his body, his meridians were being flooded with the violently surging Internal Energy. Unwittingly, his Ripple technique had already attained the peak of the fifth layer.

Endless Internal energy in his four limbs and hundreds of bones began to concentrate and slowly converge towards his Dantian while also circulating according to the pre-determined routes of the Ripple technique at the same time. Cycle by cycle, a strong energy was slowly being saved up inside his body.

Surprisingly, tonight, He Yiming felt like attacking that sixth layer which he’d attacked countless times in past without any results tonight.

This time, neither was he cultivating the Primordial Energy which he’d cultivated for full eight years nor was he confident that he’d understood the experiences of his third brother, however, his heart was filled with a determination of only going forward without ever backing down.

For four years, every day and every night, He Yiming had incessantly thought about the juncture of the sixth layer that was right in front of his eyes; he’d already been there for too long.

A large amount of Internal Energy was slowly building up. Right now, Hi Yiming was so calm and steady that he himself was feeling a bit of odd.

At last, as the saved up Internal Energy inside his body reached the peak and also the limit of what he could control in his opinion, the surging Internal Energy rushed towards the sixth layer’s course like the water of a broken dam.

Even though the courses of the Primordial Energy and the Ripple technique were completely different, the difficulty of attaining the sixth layer was more or less the same. Relying on his experiences of attacking the sixth layer ten times, He Yiming’s heart suddenly had a strange feeling that this time’s attack was certainly going to succeed.

Suddenly, a loud sound like a thunderclap echoed inside the mind of He Yiming, and everything suddenly transformed. Within an instant, he found himself in a completely different scenario.

It seemed like he’d returned to the time when he’d touched that bizarre radiance. Countless scenes and images once again flashed in his mind, causing him to once again experience those enormous spectacles that didn’t seem related to a human in the slightest.

Eventually, amidst crackling thunder and flickering lightning as if the world’s final’s day, his spirit returned back to his body.

He Yiming’s body slightly shuddered. The instant his spirit returned back to his body, he sensed an enormous transformation inside his body.

An Internal Energy course had successfully been opened up, moreover, the internal energy flowing inside his body, which seemed like water, was a notch above the previously flowing internal energy. His body seemed to brim with immeasurable strength.

When he opened his eyes, although the moonlight above him had already dissipated, his vision successfully seized the first light ray of the rising sun.

On the training grounds located at the rear side of the estate, the few youngsters were yet again going through the training seeming habitual. Today’s supervisor was once again He Quanyi.

However, his expression didn’t seem too good. Because, He Yiming, after arriving late yesterday, was once again absent today.

As the former looked in a certain direction, his heart was filled with a kind of rage that seemed like ‘hating iron for not becoming steel.’ However, it also had a trace of regret:

‘This good seedling has been destroyed by the pressure from the clan. Is there really no way of redeeming him?’

Suddenly, he saw a figure running towards him at a lightning fast speed. Just in a few jumps, the figure was already in front of him.

His complexion sank as he said:

“Why are you again late today?”
