He Wude silently went into his courtyard. The second generation and the third generation’s He Yitian and He Yiming followed him in.
Everyone preserved silence. He Yiming was quite apprehensive inwardly as he whined to himself, ‘I’ve already heeded you, old man’s, words. Don’t tell me you won’t settle on anything less than me suddenly exhibiting eighth layer Internal Energy and absolutely crus.h.i.+ng the eldest brother….’
While his imagination was running rampant, He Wude made himself comfortable on the host seat and said:
“Yiming, you broke through the sixth layer?”
He Yiming slightly started before cursing inwardly, ‘Were you not the one who asked me to show a bit of my true skill? What are you again asking for?’ His thoughts stirred, and he suddenly had an idea, ‘Don’t tell he hadn’t seen through my depths at all?’
Several gazes instantly converged on He Yiming. The latter awkwardly laughed and said:
“Grandfather, your grandson has truly attained the seventh layer Internal Energy.”
He Wude sighed before his eyes gleamed as he suddenly stood up from his seat, arrived before He Yiming, and extended his palm.
After a slight hesitation, He Yiming, circulating the Primordial Energy to the seventh layer, met it with his own palm.
After a brief contact, both sides restrained their Internal Energy. He Wude’s face immediately revealed an extremely content smile, and the last shreds of the doubt in the minds of the rest also dissolved away.
He Quanyi spoke in a clear voice: “Father, how did you find out that He Yiming had broken through?”
The rest all nodded. If the old man hadn’t already discerned that He Yiming broke through, how could he have asked latter to show his true skill.
He Wude’s face was slightly red. When did he discern that He Yiming had broken through? He’d only shouted that line because he himself wanted to take a look at how ferocious a Xiantian scripture could be.
However, he didn’t expect that instead of using the Splitting Mountain Thirty SIx Forms, He Yiming would give him an even bigger surprise.
Seventh layer Internal Energy. It was actually the seventh layer of Internal Energy. For a child, who was barely fourteen, to possess the seventh layer Internal Energy, especially in a minor influential family such as theirs, was as rare as founding feathers of phoenix or horns of unicorn. Suddenly, a thought, which he didn’t dare believe, appeared in his mind for an instant, ‘Don’t tell me the heavens have truly taken pity on my old self, allowing me to return in this lifetime.’
He sighed before he suddenly felt heated gazes of his descendants. He moderated his expression before saying, “How did this old man find out? This old man found out with the his ample experience. Listen up you people, you should be attentive in every case. Only after experiencing many many things could your eyes be as sharp as lightning.”
He Quanxin and the rest simultaneously sounded their agreements in respectful voices and treated the teachings of the Lord Master as just and profound. But He Yiming was doubtful, ‘If the old man could truly see through, how could he not know that my Internal Energy has already reached the eighth layer?’
However, even if he had twice as much courage, he wouldn’t dare ask.
He Quanyi suddenly asked: “Yiming, when did you break through?”
The several gazes immediately s.h.i.+fted over. As they thought about how, just a year ago, He Yiming had attained the sixth layer, and in less than another year, he was already at the seventh layer, they couldn’t help but feel that this speed was a bit too horrifying. To say the least, before today, they didn’t know that anyone could even accomplish such a thing.
Although He Wude, on surface, didn’t seem to be battling an eyelid, in truth, his eyes and ears were increasingly sharpening up. He was not willing to miss a single detail about this grandson of his. He too was extremely wishful to know about the latter’s cultivation speed.
He Yiming said while scratching his head: “My breakthrough wasn’t long ago, not long ago at all.”
Inwardly he supplemented, ‘Not long ago, just half a year.” He overlooked that he’d made another breakthrough after another half a year, though.
Everybody nodded one after another, not doubting He Yiming’s words at all.
For them, attaining the seventh layer from the sixth layer within a single year was already astonis.h.i.+ng. As for attaining the seventh layer in half a year, that was just too far away from their imagination. It was something incomprehensible to them.
He Quanming stepped forward and lightly patted his son on shoulder, with his eyes full of arrogance. However, calming down after a short while, he curiously asked:
“Yiming, how did overcome the bottleneck of the sixth layer?”
He Yiming seemed to be seriously thinking before he shrugged and said: “I don’t know.”
Everyone sighed inwardly. He Yiming’s luck was indeed not bad. The difficulty of pa.s.sing the bottleneck varied from person to person. Some, like He Yiming, were able to indescribably pa.s.s through. However, a lot more found themselves stuck at this step and remained stuck for their entire life.
He Quanming’s brows slightly creased as he asked:
“What you used just now was the Rolling Boulder Fist, yes?”
“Yes.”
“In my opinion, your employment of Rolling Boulder Fist has already attained the peak realm since you can use it as per your wish. What’s this about?” He Quanming asked in a puzzled manner.
He Yiming heart sank. This was indeed flawed. Under the several heated gazes on him, he pondered for a bit, then bluntly said:
