Chapter 18 – Perfect Assault

Ye Zhong was still not convinced by his senses and felt the astounding impact of the tiger’s strike then look over to Ye Wei with suspicion.

‘Fluke?’

‘One out of one hundred and thirty six, he picked one rune to alter and it just happened to refine the stance? Just how lucky is that?’

The tiger’s roar echoed throughout the whole manor, the stronger family members’ heightened senses were the first to pick it up. Everyone who heard it turned their heads towards the source and knew it was Ye Zhong from the direction it came from.

‘Little Zhong works well under pressure, way to go! Judging by the tiger roar’s magnitude, he is a good thirty percent stronger than when I last saw him fight!’ Ye Zheng Qing was overjoyed.

‘Well done son! With your talent our family might just have a chance!’

Upon hearing the roar and realising it was the sound of Ye Zhong’s improvement, young and old in the family were happy and proud. The younger family members will be gathering around Ye Zhong asking for a show from their idol tomorrow morning.

Ye Zhong’s hands were still shaking, and he jogged his memory to investigate the drastic difference in power the modification caused. ‘In hindsight, this minor change was actually genius, and it would only work on these two specific runes.

The White Tiger’s Assault was passed down for generations and attempts to refine it have been carried out by the Ye’s predecessors, but Ye Wei’s suggestions seemed to have spotted what they missed and made a more significant impact on the stance in terms of improvement!

“Wei, be honest with me, what was going on? Don’t tell me you don’t know what happened, or it was a coincident because I will not believe that!” Ye Zhong looked excited and placed his hands on Ye Wei’s shoulders, looked him right in the eyes as he said each word clearly with sincerity.

“I am not completely sure, a teacher at the academy told me I have outstanding soul sensibility and the potential to become a Runemaster.” Ye Wei did not hold back the information and answered calmly; he felt a bit embarrassed having played stupid and gotten caught out.

“Outstanding soul sensitivity and the potential to become a Runemaster?” Ye Zhong was startled and euphoric, his head was buzzing, overwhelmed by this tremendous surprise. ‘Red Sentient Ye Wei could become a Runemaster?!’

He held Ye Wei’s shoulder tight and wanted to make sure he heard right, even though his soul sensibility talent was confirmed by correction to the stance. “Is that true?” He was in seventh heaven, Ye Wei had refined the White Tiger’s Assault so casually.

A potential Runemaster, Runemaster Ye, this is big news!

There were only around thirty Runemaster apprentices based in Green Moon City to three Runemasters, if Ye Wei was to become one with his connections the Ye family can easily befriend powerful individuals for quests and expeditions.

Taking these benefits into consideration, the talentless Ye Wei was actually the greatest treasure of Ye family, a hidden gem, a trump card that can turn things around and put the Ye clan on the map! If Ye Wei completes his training as a Runemaster, he will become as strong as a seven star Condensed Prime Warrior!

Nobody, not even the Big Three would look down on a family that houses a Runemaster!

Ye Zhong could not imagine how the elders of the family would react to Ye Wei’s new found talent, the Ye family has been the underdogs for too long!

“Haha! Little cousin, if anyone say anything bad about you, send them my way and I’ll give them a good beating!” Ye Zhong clenched his fist and declared his endorsement jokingly, the doubt in his mind and frown on his face vanished.
