Chapter 39 (2/2)

‘What did you say?” He Yixuan’s brows slightly creased as he turned his head and asked. Just now, He Yiming’s voice was too vague. He couldn’t hear anything clearly.

He Yiming promptly said, “Third brother, you just received an injury, walk a bit slowly.”

He Yixuan brightly smiled before saying:

“It’s fine. This bit of injury has more or less already been healed.”

The two individuals although were not too familiar with the roads of the county town, returning back through the roads that they had come was not difficult. Just after a short while, they arrived at the family’s courtyard.

The two exchanged a glance and promptly entered the main hall, where they saw that their eldest uncle, father, and the rest even including their mother and little sister, were already present.

Seeing that they had returned, He Yilong’s eyes slightly s.h.i.+ned as she asked:

“Third brother, sixth brother, were the fights fun?”

The two brothers exchanged a glance before both bitterly smiled. Could today’s duels on the arena be described as fun?

He Quanming lightly snorted before saying:

“Here, compet.i.tions at the arena are nothing but duels between ordinary cultivators. A true expert would never be willing to partic.i.p.ate. Since you have the time to go there, you might as well cultivate in the backyard. It would be much more beneficial to you.”

He Quanxin waved his hand, “Second brother, it’s hard for children to control their heart upon seeing something new and unusual. This kind of duels although do not hold much in terms of martial strength, they are in fact true battles. Having a look at these battles also had some advantage for them.”

He Quanming faintly nodded, glancing at them. However, he discovered that the two had quite strange expressions on their faces. He Quanming said in a lowered voice:

“What’s the matter?”

Helpless, He Yixuan recalled Xu Yucai mounting the arena and defeating him. Even though he had suffered defeat this time, he had no intention of covering it up.

He Quanxin and He Quanming’s brows slightly creased. Especially as they heard that final strike from Xu Yucai, they both had slightly astonished expressions on their faces. Evidently, they themselves had never heard of such a battle skill.

“Big brother, Xu family is Xu family after all. They were actually concealing such a ferocious battle skill. We have to report this matter to the old man as soon as possible.” He Quanming solemnly said.

He Quanxin faintly nodded. After a pondering for a few moments, he again shook his head, “Informing father is must, but we also need not make a fuss about it. I am certain that the Xu Yucai’s battle skill must be a high-level one. However, learning such a battle skill will inevitably hinder his Internal Energy cultivation as well. If this is truly the case with Xu family’s third generation, they might be able to suppress us for a while, but in future, they absolutely won’t be a threat to us.”

He Quanming patted his thighs. This was something he did habitually upon coming across something troublesome.

After a short while, he slowly said:

“Big brother, I am worried, could it be… Xu family have again joined with them?”

He Quanxin was slightly startled before he said with a slight hesitation:

“Impossible, unless a Xiantian cultivator appears in Xu family, such a thing cannot happen.”

He Yiming’s vision lingered on his two elders for a while as he obtained some clues from their words.

Apparently, Xu family’s history had some profound secrets. His father and eldest uncle were actually deeply afraid of this mysterious ‘them’.

Furthermore, from his own observation, the battle skill Xu Yucai used while delivering that final strike was although not as powerful as his Splitting Mountain Thirty Six Forms, it was far above an ordinary battle skill. Even though this battle skill might not be a Xiantian battle skill, it was certainly a peak battle skill among ordinary battle skills.

Xu family possessing such a battle skill evidently showed that the collection of their clan was a notch above that of the He family.

As He Yiming’s imagination was running rampant, He Yixuan continued, “Father, although this child lost, Xu family didn’t make a killing out of it.”

He Quanming suspiciously asked, “Could it be you injured him as well?”

“This child doesn’t have such an ability, but Yiming does,” He Yixuan slightly inclined his body and glanced at He Yiming before continuing, “Yiming saw me injured and acted out in anger. He struck Xu Yucai out of the arena with a single fist.”

“What are you saying?” He Quanming faintly started before his complexion changed, “Yiming, you used Splitting Mountain Thirty Six Forms?”

He Yiming faintly shook his head before he said:

“Father, I used pure Internal Energy only.”

He Yixuan further excitedly nodded, “That’s right. Father, Yiming’s Internal Energy has already attained seventh layer’s peak.”

Momentarily, a pin drop silence covered the entire main hall. Everybody’s gaze gathered on He Yiming.

Especially He Yitian. He deeply sighed in his mind, while his gaze turned extremely complex.
