Chapter 1: The Eve of the Competition
"Chen'er, how are you preparing?"
"Rest assured, father, I am absolutely confident that I will win this contest and enter the Bible Pavilion. Regarding his father Ye Yuntian's question, Ye Chen replied with a confident smile on his face.
Ye Yuntian nodded, Ye Yuntian was not surprised that Ye Chen said such a thing. Although this sentence sounded extremely arrogant and empty-eyed, he believed that his son Ye Chen had the strength to say this.
Not to mention the Ancient Ye Family, even if you look at the entire Eastern Continent, who can already reach the peak of the fifth level of body quenching at the age of twelve? Birth of Yuan Qi seeds between the meridians and flesh in the body, officially stepping into the Qi cultivation realm.
Who can reach the middle stage of the fourfold Qi cultivation at the age of fourteen?
Who can reach the ninefold peak of qi cultivation at the age of sixteen, and then grow at an almost crazy rate, break through the bottleneck of qi training, liberate the body from confinement, and directly cross the foundation building consummation at the age of seventeen and go straight to the early stage of Yuan Dan?
Ye Chen's almost perverted leap growth method shocked the entire Eastern Continent cultivation world, and even those once invincible old monsters in the cultivation world were shocked, they never expected that the legend of 10,000 years ago would be proven now.
Therefore, such a remark is circulated in the Eastern Continent: In the Ancient Ye Family, one of the three major families in the Eastern Continent, there is a peerless talent that occurs once in 10,000 years!
It's like a genius who was scattered 10,000 years ago, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, he broke through the void and finally stepped on the clouds to become an immortal!
Ye Yuntian slowly retracted his kind gaze and said softly: "For my father, I believe that my son has such strength, you will definitely be able to win this competition and enter the Bible Pavilion to learn higher-level exercises." He patted Ye Chen lightly on the shoulder twice, and then turned to leave.
Seeing his father leave, Ye Chen went to the practice room again and reviewed the 'Heavenly Dragon Eight Waves' that he had recently cultivated.
The eight waves of the heavenly dragon, one wave after another, are extraordinarily powerful, and they are considered to be a high-level exercise in the herringbone products, which is extremely rare.
Although his current cultivation is more than enough to fight against the other contestants in the family, he is a candidate who is known as a genius after all, he has great ambitions, and entering the family Bible Pavilion is just a step on his cultivation path, he wants to go higher and fly farther!
This time he cultivated, Ye Chen felt that the vitality in his body had increased a lot compared to last time. Not only is the speed of the Yuan Qi traveling much faster, but some places that the Yuan Qi could not reach before can already be passed through this time.
Although the vitality was only barely passed, this had already made Ye Chen excited, and he believed that in the near future, his cultivation would reach another level.
Calming down his joyful mood, Ye Chen incorporated the newly absorbed vitality into the dantian, and the Yuan Dan transformed the vitality into a trace of true vitality, and then entered the four meridians and eight veins, and the true vitality continued to swim and urge, causing it to violently impact in the few acupuncture points that had just been opened.
But no matter how Ye Chen urged, the true vitality that the acupoints could pass through was only a little bit higher than when he first started. In the end, no matter how much he urges, the true vitality is no longer moving, and on the contrary, there is a tendency to reverse the flow.
Ye Chen was suddenly shocked, and his vitality flowed backwards, this was a precursor to going crazy. And once you go mad, this is extremely dangerous for cultivators, at least their cultivation will be completely ruined, and at worst, they may lose their lives or even become half-human, half-demon existence!
The feeling of reflux of vitality became stronger and stronger, and Ye Chen's face turned pale in an instant. He knew that if he didn't withdraw his vitality, it would inevitably lead to madness.
Ye Chen no longer hesitated, and hurriedly withdrew his vitality to Danhai. At this moment, he was out of breath, and his whole person looked slightly weak.
However, Ye Chen didn't take it to heart at all, firstly, the time for the true vitality to flow backwards was relatively short, and secondly, the flow rate of the true vitality was not very large, so there was only a little bit of the reversal of the vitality, so the damage caused to him was only slight. As long as he urged the true vitality in his body to wander for a few weeks, this small injury would naturally heal.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Ye Chen summed up an experience from the incident just now: not only is there no shortcut to be desirable on the path of cultivation, but also you can't be in a hurry. This is like being a human being, you have to be down-to-earth, walk step by step, and you must not want to learn to fly before you learn to walk, otherwise you will only fall and bleed.
With a clear roar, Ye Chen had already urged his true vitality to swim away for two weeks, and the little injury he suffered just now was almost healed.
He straightened his clothes and walked out of the practice room.
As soon as Ye Chen walked out of the practice room, he saw Ye Yong, the son of Ye Xiaotian, the head of the Ye family, and his sister Ye Hongsleeve coming over.
Although the talent of these two people is not as high as Ye Chen, in the entire family, their talent is also outstanding, and their cultivation is also remarkable. In addition, their father Ye Xiaotian is the head of the Ye family, so he is also regarded as a genius by the entire family, and he is one of the popular candidates in this competition.
For Ye Hongsleeve, a spicy woman, Ye Chen has always had no good impression of her.
Because Ye Hongsleeve was two years older than Ye Chen, and relying on his father to be the head of the family, he always led the children of several other uncles in the family to bully Ye Chen when he was a child. At that time, Ye Chen's cultivation talent had not yet been shown, and coupled with his young age, the gap in strength should not be underestimated, so he was often bullied.
Facing his brothers and sisters who were several heads taller than him, Ye Chen was often beaten with a blue nose and swollen face. After knocking Ye Chen down, four of them held down Ye Chen's limbs and asked Ye Hongsleeve to ride Ye Chen as a puppy!
Despite this, Ye Chen, who had an arrogant personality, still did not give in.
It can be said that Ye Chen's childhood was spent under the clutches of these "demons" in the family. This kind of day lasted for six years, and it didn't change until he was ten years old, Ye Chen put in ten times more effort than ordinary people, and finally cultivated by leaps and bounds, gradually surpassing Ye Yong and Ye Sleeve, two brothers and sisters.
At the age of eleven, Ye Chen's cultivation was already the first among his peers in the entire Ancient Ye Family.
Relying on the aura of being the first in his family's peers, Ye Chen wanted to seek revenge on those guys who had bullied him, but he finally endured it.
His purpose was to stand at the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent's cultivation realm, not to defeat these guys.
Ye Chen retracted his mind and walked up very calmly. In the past, he was not afraid of the spicy female Ye Hongsleeves, let alone now.
At the same time, Ye Yong's brothers and sisters also saw Ye Chen. He asked with a smile: "Ninth elder brother, you are already the first person among the descendants of our Ye family, and you are still practicing so hard, and the eldest brother is ashamed of his laziness when he admires your diligence." ”
As he spoke, Ye Yong had already greeted him, his eyes inadvertently swept over Ye Chen's face, his face changed suddenly, as another genius of the Ye family, how could he not see that Ye Chen's face was a sign of madness. But the look of surprise on his face was only a fleeting moment, and it soon returned to its natural nature.
Ye Chen already had a full view of Ye Yong's subtle change just now, but since Ye Yong didn't mention it, he wouldn't have anything to do to explain to him that he had gone mad because he was in a hurry to achieve success in his practice.
In this regard, Ye Chen just smiled indifferently, neither pretentiously saying that his family number one was the false praise of the elders, nor arrogantly boasting about how powerful he was, he was neither humble nor arrogant. Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged - although so far he has not been defeated.
After avoiding that question, Ye Chen spoke: "I heard that the eldest brother has also achieved great success in his magic skills recently, which is really gratifying. In addition, I hope that the eldest brother can show his magic skills in the competition in two days, so that those of us who are brothers can see the magic skills. ”
Ye Yong said with a smile: "Each other, the eldest brother also hopes that when the time comes, the ninth brother, you can also show the power of the divine skill 'Heavenly Dragon Eight Heavy Waves' skill." ”
"I'll do my best. After saying this, the two said goodbye, Ye Yong walked into the practice room, and Ye Chen continued to walk along the same path.
When Ye Yong's two brothers were talking, Ye Hongsleeve had already bypassed a path and walked into the practice room, obviously she didn't want to come into contact with Ye Chen head-on at this moment.
Back in his study, Ye Chen took a hot bath, washed away the stinky sweat and filth from the exercises, and then changed into clean clothes. Judging from the state of practicing just now, he knew that he couldn't cultivate again in the past two days, otherwise he might go crazy again.
There were still two days to go, and he happened to have nothing to do in those two days, so he decided to go out for a walk and take a break.
Since being promoted to the early stage of Yuan Dan, Ye Chen also has his own unique views on cultivation, cultivation must not blindly immerse himself in hard work, but pay attention to the combination of work and rest, the later it is, the higher the requirements for the state of mind of cultivation, the state of mind can not keep up, and there will not be much breakthrough in cultivation.
After thinking about it, Ye Chen finally decided to go hunting in the back mountain, thinking that he could gallop on horseback and shoot eagles with a bow, which made him very enthusiastic.
As soon as this idea was decided, Ye Chen immediately took action. Half an hour later, everything was ready.
Ye Chen's crotch is a majestic Dawan famous horse, the famous horse is snow-white, there is not a single stray hair on the whole body, and it is a high-grade famous horse at a glance. He himself was dressed in a strong suit, with a quiver full of feathered arrows on his back, a scimitar on his left waist, and a longbow on his right. Yan Ran looked like a general.
Behind him is a group of entourage, and this group of entourage is not simple, all red-maned horses under their crotch, all white broken hexagrams accompanied by cyan Dafang family ding hats, at first glance, they are from such a big family as the ancient Ye family.
Out of Wangyun City, Ye Chen and the others left in the dust, leaving only bursts of yellow smoke on the road, and they had already entered the back mountain in a short time.
Seeing this group of murderous "Ye Jiajun" rushing into the mountains and forests, all the animals were suddenly frightened, and the birds and insects that could be heard just now suddenly disappeared, and the elk, hares and other animals running all over the ground also fled in a hurry, and all the animals scattered in an instant.
Although Ye Chen was hunting for the first time, he already knew why these animals had fled, it must have been his own loudness that scared them away.
Ye Chen turned around and said, "If we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to shoot the prey, we rushed into the mountains and forests like bandits and scared all the prey away." Uncle Ye Dan, you tell everyone to disperse, and we will act separately. ”
