Book 2 - Fame SpreadsChapter 40.1 - Night Scouting02 Apr 2017

The moonlight dyed the front yard in a shade of gray; stars dominated the night sky. An unspeakable serenity and profoundness prevaded the night in the manor.

He Yiming was inside his room, and his thoughts were still on yesterday's visitors from Fan family.

Fan Vastsun naturally didn't enter the range of his thoughts. This person's age was slightly bigger than his eldest brother and Internal Energy cultivation also seemed to be a notch above that of his eldest brother. Although it hadn't attained the peak of the seventh layer, he could still be considered as one of the top figures of the young generation.

Although He Yiming had not travelled much, he'd seen a lot of outstanding young talents. Especially in the four great clans of Fire Crow country, young experts were as numerous as clouds. However, those who had been able to attain the seventh layer's peak before the age of twenty-five were extremely rare.

Those who had further succeeded in attaining the ninth layer before the age of forty, like Lin Taoli, were even more rare.

But after his experiences in the Xie Mansion, He Yiming had also understood that to attain such a realm, Lin Taoli must have consumed many gold cores.

Apart from providing a.s.sistance in breakthroughs, there were also gold cores that could increase one's essence, thereby increasing the efficiency of its Internal Energy conversion. If someone were to say that Lin Taoli had attained his current realm without any a.s.sistance from these two kinds of gold cores, He Yiming wouldn't be convinced even in death.

Therefore, young experts like He Yitian and Fan Vastsun who, after being born in ordinary influential families, could cultivate to the seventh layer's peak before the age of thirty were already geniuses who were seen only once in several decades.

Of course, He Yiming himself was not included. After experiencing the strange encounter in the lake, he could no longer be gauged by the means of cultivation speed of ordinary people.

However, although Fan Vastsun was remarkable, it was not him occupying He Yiming's mind, but the two Xiao brothers.

The strength of these two was no joke. The strange armguards on their body was not that big of a deal. What truly made He Yiming's heart palpitate was, in fact, their mysterious foot technique.

Ever since the two brothers left yesterday, He Yiming had been hiding in his room. He was trying his utmost to recall that foot technique and even attempting to fuse it with Lin Taoli's Rain Cloud Imprint, thereby making a complete agility technique of his own.

He Yiming had a feeling that as long as he could create such a technique, it would certainly be a Xiantian one.

However, creating a Xiantian technique was easier said than done. Even after his fortuitous encounter and having experienced that these two techniques had different abilities but the same source, it was not easy to accomplish.

With a long sigh, He Yiming eventually opened his eyes.

His eyes s.h.i.+ned as he schemed that if he were to capture the Xiao brothers alive, whether he would be able to force their Xiantian agility technique out.

However, this thought merely flickered momentarily. The current him had not become so atrocious yet.

Suddenly, He Yiming's head tilted to the side as his face revealed an astonished expression.

If he hadn't heard wrong, some expert had probably infiltrated the manor taking the advantage of the night. If not for He Yiming- a Xiantian cultivator, n.o.body could have heard the slightest bit of movement outside.

At the very least, He Yiming was sure that his eldest uncle, He Quanxin, wouldn't have heard anything at all.

However, the next moment, He Yiming's face revealed an extremely pleasant expression.

He'd already discerned that this person's agility technique was extremely brilliant. More importantly, it was extremely similar to that of the Xiao brothers.

However, after a few moments, he ascertained that this person couldn't be one of the Xiao brothers.

Because this person's Internal Energy was not at the ninth layer, but had already attained the peak of the Houtian realm- the tenth layer. Although this person had not advanced too long ago, it was far incomparable to ninth layer Internal Energy.

Furthermore, although this person's agility technique resembled Xiao brother's a lot, it was merely a resemblance and was far from the true essence of the technique.

After pondering for a bit, He Yiming immediately understood.
