This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.
Chapter 1: Coercion
"Bang!"
A fist the size of a sandbag slammed into the back of Ye Chu's head, knocking him unconscious and sending him sprawling into the mud, his mouth full of yellow mud mixed with grass roots.
"You lowly tenant farmer! Still dare to talk back?"
Niu Er stomped on Ye Chu's wrist, the sole of his shoe squeaking as he stepped on it. "If you don't tell me where Yintian is, I'll break your legs and sell your child bride to a matchmaker!"
Wang Erdan, chuckling, squeezed in and pleaded, "Brother Ye, I saw you carrying a basket of coarse grains down from Qingniu Mountain the other day. Just confess!"
The words "broken legs," "matchmaker," and "hidden field" were like poisoned needles, piercing deeply into Ye Chu's buzzing consciousness.
The memories of his past life of more than twenty years and his mortal life in Qingniu Village of the present life overlapped dramatically.
He transmigrated, reborn into the Great Zhou Dynasty where immortals and mortals coexist.
But his father mysteriously disappeared three years ago, his mother passed away the year before last, and his grandfather favored his eldest uncle when dividing the family property last year, sending him to the most dilapidated thatched hut at the edge of the village.
If it weren't for his father-in-law Ji Shiyu's kindness in keeping his daughter Ji Meng to take care of him, he would have starved to death last winter.
Now, in order to seize the hidden farmland that his father had kept in the mountains, the landlord Yang has been forced to come to his door by his wicked servant Niu Er!
"I'll ask one last time," Niu Er drew his leather whip and lashed it down, "Where is Yin Tian?"
The whip lashed towards Ye Chu's cheek with a whistling sound.
At the critical moment, Ye Chu suddenly felt a burning pain in his abdomen!
A mysterious power surged forth from the depths of his dantian, and a silver-white thread, as clear as moonlight, appeared out of thin air at his fingertips.
Almost instinctively, Ye Chu had a sudden thought.
Time stopped!
The whistling whip hung in mid-air, Niu Er's ferocious expression froze on his face, Wang Erdan's mouth opened in agreement abruptly stopped, and even the mosquitoes flying in the air froze into black dots.
In the entire world, only Ye Chu was still able to move!
"This is……"
He could clearly perceive that every ray of light, every breath of air, every inch of soil, and every life activity in the world was connected by those silvery-white threads.
Otherwise, at this moment, the light would stop, the wind would cease, people would be still, things would freeze, and heaven and earth would fall into eternal silence!
Suddenly, the five ancient characters "[Eternal Life Body]" emerged from the depths of his soul and manifested in a way that he could easily understand:
[Constitution: Longevity Body]
[Awakening: Embryonic stage (0.01%)]
[Talent: The Fountain of Time]
【Root bone: 10】
【Perception: 3】
Cultivation Level: None
[Technique: None]
[Skill: Farming lv.2 (178/200)]
[Remaining lifespan: 84 (336 after awakening the Immortal Body and the 4x time slowdown)]
【Time and Rhythm: 1】
The simple information made him realize that he was currently in the initial stage of awakening his immortal body, and that he was condensing a spring of time in his abdomen that could devour time and thus cultivate the Dao of Time.
Among them, the Time Dao Rhyme can not only be added, but is also the key to controlling time!
"Time stop can last for another ten seconds."
Ye Chu could feel the special time-related Daoist energy within the Time Spring in his abdomen being rapidly depleted.
He suddenly scrambled to his feet, snatched the whip from Niu Er's hand, wrapped it tightly around Niu Er's neck, and then kicked Wang Erdan in the kneecap.
Subsequently, [Time Rhythm: 0], and the surrounding time resumed its flow.
Thump!
Wang Erdan's knees buckled, and he knelt heavily on the ground, screaming in pain.
Niu Er felt a tightness around his neck, and was pulled backward by the whip, falling heavily onto the ridge of the field, almost passing out.
"You!" Niu Er clutched his neck, staring at Ye Chu in disbelief. "When did you acquire such skill?"
Ye Chu patted the dirt off his body. The ten-second time stop just now not only allowed him to dodge the whip, but also made him realize that he could live without eating beef in the future!
With time at your fingertips, what fear is there of the mundane world?
However, there is a small problem: the daily time limit is limited... Today's quota has been used up!
Ye Chu brandished his fists and feet, mustering his courage, and said, "Brother Niu, I've recently learned some farming tricks. Do you think my strength is up to par? Now, if I say I don't have a hidden field, would you believe me?"
"you!"
Niu Er was furious, but he was also somewhat wary of the strength Ye Chu had just displayed.
"Butler Cow!"
An old, hoarse voice rang out.
Ji Shiyu ran over carrying a hoe, stood in front of Ye Chu, and said to Niu Er with a smile, "Steward Niu, the child is ignorant, please don't take it to heart. I will definitely ask about the Hidden Field matter when I get back, and I will let you know as soon as I find out."
Niu Er glared fiercely at Ye Chu, then glanced at the growing number of villagers around him, knowing he wouldn't get away with it today.
However, with Ji Shiyu providing this way out, it didn't hurt his pride.
We can go back and attract even more people!
"Alright, Old Man Ji, I'll give you this face! If you don't reveal the location of Hidden Field by sunset tomorrow, Master Yang will come to question you personally!"
After saying that, he led a group of Yang family scoundrels away.
Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the surrounding villagers dispersed, not forgetting to cast a few gloating glances before leaving.
In this cannibalistic world, no one wants to be associated with a suspect who is accused of "hiding hidden farmland."
"You! You!"
Ji Shiyu turned around, pointing at Ye Chu's nose, her hand trembling with anger, "How dare you lay a hand on Niu Er? The Yang family has produced martial arts scholars! Are you out of your mind?"
"Father-in-law, if it weren't for the extra grain produced by Yintian, your daughter and I would have starved to death last winter!"
Ye Chu helped Ji Shiyu up and sighed helplessly.
Furthermore, he could sense that the time Dao energy consumed by the time stop he had just used was being replenished by the time power drawn from the spring of time within his body.
At this rate, it should be fully recovered by tomorrow morning.
Moreover, as his immortal body awakened, his five senses became exceptionally sharp. He could hear the chirping of sparrows a hundred meters away, see aphids wriggling on leaves twenty or thirty meters away, and even sense the life of Ji Shiyu beside him being slowly eroded by time.
"What will you do when Niu Er comes again tomorrow?"
Ji Shiyu sighed, but his tone softened. "Ye Wazi, listen to me, hand over Yintian. It's just a piece of land; it's better than losing your life."
Ye Chu shook his head.
He can't hand it in!
That hidden field in Qingniu Mountain was not only a guarantee of food, but also the only legacy his father left him.
Moreover, he always felt that his father's mysterious disappearance three years ago was inextricably linked to that hidden field.
Because the crops grown in that hidden field were not only free from pests and diseases, but when he brought sparrows, rabbits and other living creatures into the area of the hidden field, the outside life would die immediately!
Only he could remain unscathed in Hidden's position!
More importantly, he now possesses the ability to live forever, giving him the power to protect himself and his wife. He no longer has to be bullied like before!
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I know what I'm doing regarding Hidden Field."
Looking at the magnificent crimson sunset over the rolling Qingniu Mountain in the distance, Ye Chu picked up the hoe from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and decided to finish work and go home!
Walking along the path home, he could clearly see that in every ray of the setting sun, silvery threads were being born and disappearing.
Reach out and grasp a strand of time, and it can be instantly refined into the immortal body.
"Since the problem is difficult to solve, let's solve the problem of who raised it!"
Tonight, let's use time stop to kill the Yang family ahead of schedule!
