Chapter 27 (1/2)

Cool wind blew, bringing faint rustling sound of trees, which resembled soft murmuring of a crowd.

In He family’s backyard, at this moment, no other sound could be heard other than the rustling of wind.

In He family estate, He Yitian was an ill.u.s.trious figure. Especially in third generation, he’d been naturally approved as the individual with the best future prospects.

Even in the clan’s evening banquets, his seat was the best among the third generation.

This was not merely because he was the eldest grandson of the eldest son. He’d obtained the approval of the everybody based on his own outstanding talent in cultivation.

Attaining the sixth layer at the age of fourteen, attaining the seventh layer at the age of nineteen, He Yitian, who was currently twenty one years old, was well-reputed in the entire Tai Cang county. Even while taking all the three influential families into consideration, he was a top-notch expert.

This was because the third generation of the other two families didn’t have a single seventh layer cultivator.

He Yiming had also attained the sixth layer at the age of thirteen, but if he couldn’t attain the seventh layer before the age of twenty, in everybody’s eyes, he and He Yitian couldn’t even be compared.

As for He Yiming attaining the seventh layer before the age of twenty, that was an ambiguous matter. No one could say anything with certainty.

After all, the difficulty of attaining the seventh layer indeed far surpa.s.sed the previous ones. Even He Yitian couldn’t explain how exactly did he manage to pa.s.s through this obstacle.

Therefore, when He Yitian stood up on his own accord and posed a challenge to He Yiming, the spectators felt it inconceivable.

After quite a while, He Wude suddenly laughed with a laugh:

“Yiming, your eldest brother has requested you for a duel; why don’t you fight for a bit.”

He Yiming deeply glanced at his grandfather and the eldest brother before faintly bowing his head and saying:

“Yes.”

He Yihai discontentedly walked off the stage before exchanging a glance with He Yixuan, both thinking what was their eldest brother up to.

In the past, every time, they would act together against their eldest brother only to be defeated ultimately.

Thus, they were extremely clear on their eldest brother’s strength, and also in deep reverence. These days, although their sixth brother had emerged as a new force, if one were to say that he could compete against their eldest brother, they absolutely wouldn’t dare believe it. Thus, they also couldn’t understand why would their eldest brother take the initiative to fight.

He Quanyi was extremely proud as he watched these two outstanding nephews of his. A time period of merely ten years since the establishment of the family in the Tai Cang county was undoubtedly the shortest history among the three influential families. However, He family’s third generation was undoubtedly the most determined among the three. He Quanyi had no doubt that once their third generation grew up, the position of the number one family in the Tai Cang county would undoubtedly belong to the He family.

Retreating a few steps, He Quanyi commanded the commencement of the most outstanding battle among the youngest generation.

With one hand on his chest, He Yitian made a gesture of invitation. He Yiming was also not polite. Crisscrossing his two fists, he advanced forward in huge strides like a rumbling rolling boulder.

Just after a short while since the start of the fight, everybody could see why He Yitian was reputed to be the number figure in the third generation. Unwittingly, he’d already gained an upper hand.

He Yitian primarily cultivated earth type techniques. His figure was standing at the centre of the stage, with his legs separated like the character ‘八’, resembling a deeply-rooted tree. Regardless of how He Yiming attacked, he stood like a mountain. He was softly waving both of his hands around his body, easily splitting apart He Yiming’s relentless Rolling Boulder Fists.

This was the strength of the seventh layer. In front of absolute strength, even after grasping the true essence of a battle skill, there was no possibility of victory.

After fighting for some time more, He Yiming surprisingly felt as if his arms and legs had stuck. As if tied together with heavy stones, he found it difficult to use them.

If his Internal Energy truly had been at the sixth layer, he feared that he would not have been able to continue. However, he could continue because his Internal Energy was even one level above He Yitian.

He Wude’s eyes began to s.h.i.+ne. He Yiming’s performance had far surpa.s.sed his expectations.

Currently, He Yitian was twenty-two years old. He’d already cultivated earth-type techniques for seventeen years. The true essence of earth-type techniques, attack through defense and steadily press forward, had thoroughly been comprehended by him long ago. It seemed as though he hadn’t taken the initiative to attack, however, every time both sides exchanged blows, an extremely minute Internal Energy was left behind coiled around He Yiming’s body.

Furthermore, He Yitian’s earth-type technique seemed a deep pit, gradually pulling He Yiming deep inside it. Even ceasing the a.s.sault and pull away was extremely hard for He Yiming.

Under such circ.u.mstances, He Yiming continued to forcibly hold on. Although his movements seemed to have become quite sluggish, he never stopped. This kind of situation caused spectators to be at a loss. How could he actually preserve for so long?

After a bit of thought, a Xiantian scripture appeared in He Wude’s mind, ‘Could it be…He Yiming has already cultivated and obtained some accomplishment….”
