A figure of a man flickered in mid-air. At the edge of the arena, Xu Yude had leaped into the air. As if a dragonfly touching the surface of the water, he lightly touched the heads of a few people before gaining sufficient momentum to overtake Xu Yucai who was flying in the air.

He raised his hands high and gently welcomed his younger brother into his bosom.

In mid-air, he turned his head for one last time to glance at He Yiming before hurriedly leaving.

After experiencing He Yiming’s fist, he knew the disparity between them. He felt an immense pressure and even extreme dejection. Because, deep inside in his heart, he was faintly aware that he wouldn’t be able to surpa.s.s the youngster in front of him throughout his entire lifetime.

This was the reason he didn’t even say something before hurriedly leaving with his injured younger brother.

On the streets, people had their eyes opened wide as they watched this spectacle. They were astoundedly looking at He Yiming who stood on the arena with a faint, cold smile on his face.

At this moment, that small stature seemed to have unwittingly increased. No one dared to brush him off because of his small age anymore. All the visions on him had the shock of not believing one’s own eyes.

He Yiming’s gaze swept all around. His vision was not sharp like that of Xu Yucai. However, under his vision, everybody unwittingly bowed down a bit, not glossing over their apprehension and reverence in the slightest.

Though n.o.body could imagine the apprehension in his mind.

Upon sweeping his gaze once, he could tell that at least thousand people were present outside the arena. Even though he knew that these people basically didn’t possess any threat to him, the combined gaze of more than a thousand people still caused his heart to palpitate.

Previously, since he wished to regain the face of the clan, He Yiming was able to keep a steady heart while confronting Xu Yucai. However, currently, he was somewhat apprehensive.

Fortunately, he had gone through a similar experience during the new year’s Skill Compet.i.tion. He had dueled with his eldest brother under numerous gazes at that time as well. If not for this experience, he actually might have escaped long ago with his face covered.

After all, prior to his encounter in the lake, he was but an ordinary youngster. Perhaps, in the future, after going through many such experiences, he might be able to remain calm and collected in front of thousands of people. However, at this moment, he couldn’t accomplish such a feat.

Slightly exerting his feet, He Yiming left the arena and arrived before his elder brother.

At this moment, He Yixuan had already recovered from the previous shock. His gaze on his sixth brother was a complicated one. Although he had thousands of questions he wanted to ask, he knew this was not the suitable time or place for it. He softly said:

“We are leaving.”

Two brothers left in large strides. People immediately opened up a s.p.a.cious path leading directly to the outside.

After the two individuals left, countless voices and noises unbridled erupted.

The battle between the He and Xu family at the streets became the talk of the town. Furthermore, a single fight caused He Yiming’s name to be well-known, and he became the most ill.u.s.trious expert within the young generation of all the three influential families combined. His limelight even surpa.s.sed that of He Yitian.

After leaving the street, He Yixuan’s footsteps were increasingly quickening. Although he had sustained injuries on his arm, under the healing of his sixth brother, it had basically healed already.

At a remote corner, he suddenly paused his footsteps before he looked at his sixth brother and asked in a lowered tone:

“Yiming, your Internal Energy has already attained seventh layer’s peak?”

The crowd of the ordinary people who had been excitedly watching the battle perhaps couldn’t discern, but He Yixuan understood quite well. While delivering that strike, He Yiming had not used any battle skill. He had purely relied on his Internal Energy to bring forth such a strong might.

Without using any battle skills and relying purely on Internal Energy, being able to attain such a level of might could only mean one thing. His Internal Energy had already attained the seventh layer’s peak.

This was because only if one possessed Internal Energy of the seventh layer’s peak could one, relying purely on Internal Energy, strike a cultivator who possessed the sixth layer Internal Energy and a peak sixth layer battle skill into flying.

However, according to He Yixuan’s knowledge, his sixth brother only attained the seventh layer at the beginning of the year. Currently, barely six months had pa.s.sed. How could he have attained the peak of the seventh layer?

He Yiming sheepishly smiled and faintly nodded under the questioning gaze of his third brother.

He Yixuan sucked in a deep breath and forced his surging state of mind to calm down. He heavily patted He Yiming on shoulder and said:

“Good. Good, sixth brother,” He then pulled his sixth brother’s hand and dashed ahead.

He Yiming astoundedly asked, “Third brother, what are you doing?”

“What nonsense, of course, telling grandfather and the rest,” He Yixuan said in a slightly irritated voice, “If they find out that your Internal Energy had already attained the peak of the seventh layer, they would certainly be very happy.”

He Yiming muttered to himself, “If they were to find out that I have already attained the ninth layer, they won’t be happy, but scared instead.”
