Chapter 174 A Promise Made In The Past

There was usually an extremely obvious feature in a martial artist’s cultivation when one arrived at a certain state.

A Yin Grade martial artist could curb one’s essential Qi and even one’s breath of life to acc.u.mulate the power in one’s body. It was done so that one could move into Yang upon reaching the extremity of Yin.

Nonetheless, although a martial artist in Yin Grade Cla.s.s One and Cla.s.s Two could hold back one’s overflowing aura, one could not restrain one’s breath of life.

A martial artist had to have the cultivation base of at least Yin Grade Cla.s.s Three to achieve it.

He Liangce did not attach importance to the fact that Ou Yangming was in Yin Grade Cla.s.s Three, but the young master was only in Cla.s.s Two when they last met. Hence, He Liangce was shocked that Ou Yangming advanced to the next cla.s.s after just a few days.

Nevertheless, Ou Yangming was even more surprised; or appalled. He looked at his opponent with bright eyes and uttered, “Yang Grade!”

Although He Liangce did not look a day older than thirty years old, he was already a Yang Grade powerhouse. When He Liangce tapped with his folding fan earlier, enormous essential Qi poured down, which was definitely a Yang Grade powerhouse’s power. The power was also so scarily abundant that it frightened Ou Yangming more than Zhang Yinli did.

Yang Grade powerhouses were separated into powerful and weak ones.

He Liangce had only attacked once, but he was certainly the one among many other Yang Grade powerhouses who gave Ou Yangming the greatest sense of danger.

Ou Yangming could not help but wonder.

This fella is so young, so how did he cultivate to become like this?’

Despite that, Ou Yangming had no idea that He Liangce, who watched as he stood tall like a javelin while holding an invisible spear, was having the same thought too.

He Liangce had a grave expression as he remarked, “Brother Ou, your improvement is shocking!”

Ou Yangming scoffed. “Brother He, you’re being too polite, I’m still far from you.”

Even though Ou Yangming had killed a Yang Grade powerhouse and even escaped a Supreme Great Ancestor, when he faced He Liangce, he felt like he could not perceive someone for the first time ever.

The He family’s eldest young master was definitely the direct descendant in an influential family, so who knew what treasures and unique abilities he had?

Ou Yangming dared not say that he could kill the young master.

He Liangce cupped his hands at Ou Yangming and expressed with sincerity, “Brother Ou, please think thrice before you act.”

“There’s no need for me to think thrice, let’s just wait and see.” Ou Yangming laughed and narrowed his eyes, then flashed and fluttered away.

In actual fact, Ou Yangming was already full of killing intent when he heard He Liangce’s request. That said, Ou Yangming was not entirely confident about killing his enemy, who was also the one who chose their meeting place, hence as dumb as he was, he would not fight a battle of life or death here.

Therefore, Ou Yangming immediately decided to flee.

He Liangce watched with his hands behind his back when Ou Yangming left, and he did not intend to stop him.

An elder quietly approached him from behind and greeted him softly, “Young Master.” He Liangce nodded and sighed. “I have a feeling that we’ll fight sooner or later.”

There was a fierce look in the elder’s eyes as he responded, “Young Master, if that’s the case, how about…”

“What are you worried about?” He Liangce smiled faintly. “Do you think I’ll lose?”

“I dare not,” the elder quickly replied with a different look on his face

“You know I was born for that, and I only have one final goal in my life. Even if the matter will cause destruction to both sides, I won’t hesitate at all,” He Liangce said and smiled after a pause. “If I don’t even have the guts to challenge someone of my kind, and I try to gain victory through wicked schemes instead, won’t I die a graveless death when the real disaster happens?”

The elder lowered his head and gave a respectful response, “Yes, Young Master, you’re very far-sighted, whereas I’m still far from that.”

He Liangce looked up at the sky. “More powerhouses are needed among Humans, so if you have the potential, quickly grow up. There isn’t… Much time.”

x.x.xX

Even when Ou Yangming entered the prefecture with a straight face, he was still extremely perturbed.

If he was in He Liangce’s shoes, he would have never made such an absurd request to his rival in love.

‘What exactly was He Liangce thinking? Is he so opinionated that he’ll defeat me for sure, or… His brain shorted out?’

Ou Yangming figured after some thought that the latter was more likely the case. Regardless of He Liangce’s plan, Ou Yangming was not going to take even half a step back.

‘Yang Grade…
