This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

After Han Heng entered the inner courtyard, the arrogant senior brothers of the inner courtyard and the humble apprentices of the front courtyard all dispersed in twos and threes.

Then they were separated by a courtyard wall, once again divided into two orderly upper and lower classes!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the lackey Niu San jumped out, pointed at Ye Chu, and complained:

"Hey Ye, what did you mean by that 'definitely' just now? Do you think someone with only a Ding-level talent dares to compare their cultivation progress with our young master's top-tier talent?"

Ye Chu's gaze swept across the front yard.

After Han Heng left, Qin Shaoyang became so distant that he didn't even bother to exchange a single word of greeting.

Apart from Wei Lin, who remained calm and continued practicing his stance in the corner as if the sky were falling, the others were simply watching the spectacle without caring about anything else; no one even thought about helping to mediate the conflict.

After witnessing the various reactions of the crowd, Ye Chu finally turned his attention back to Niu San, who had been shouting the whole time:

"The yard is full of people, so why is it just a dog barking like that?"

Niu San understood that Ye Chu was calling him a dog, and his face immediately darkened.

But he couldn't refute this statement in front of Yang Heng; he was just the young master's dog!

However, before Niu San could make a move, Ye Chu waved his hand and said:

"A good dog doesn't block the way. If you disturb my practice again, I'll go find my third senior brother and have those mad dogs that like to bark and disturb people's cultivation chased away with sticks!"

"you……"

Niu San kept getting the short end of the stick.

Yang Heng couldn't stand it anymore, and then he remembered that his third senior brother had said that even if Ye Chu had good comprehension, he would need one or two months to accumulate blood energy before he could break through the blood barrier.

Compared to five or six days, even if you add three more days, the advantage still lies in the time it takes!

After Yang Heng had made up his mind, he declared:

"Ye Chu, we'll see! I want to see what kind of magic pill you, a lowly tenant farmer with no talent, have taken to think you can surpass my cultivation progress?"

Ye Chu smiled but remained silent.

There was no argument.

His "Tiger-Taming Stance" is just one step away from mastering the basics. When he breaks through to the next level, Yang Heng will naturally be ashamed of his boastful words!

Not to mention Ye Chu was also up to no good.

Through the same channel through which Han Heng stole Yang Heng's lifespan, talent, and fortune, the power of time was used to secretly accelerate the theft of Yang Heng's essence, which was then fed to his two pets, the eagle and the ant!

The eagle has now demonstrated remarkable agility and speed, and the ant has grown five or six times its original size...

Therefore, besides his own cultivation, Ye Chu felt that he was still missing a real set of beast-taming techniques.

Otherwise, it would be a huge loss if these carefully bred pets got wild and ran away.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye.

While having lunch in the kitchen, Qin Shaoyang noticed that Han Heng was surrounded by many inner court disciples, yet he still invited Ye Chu to eat with him. So, he shamelessly sat down next to Ye Chu, trying to say a few words to her in the crowd.

But no one at the table paid any attention to Qin Shaoyang.

At the table, only Han Heng, who had just started shouting, and a man named Wang Hongru, who mentioned that they lived nearby and exchanged a few words with Ye Chu.

"They really know how to play favorites!"

Ye Chu thought to himself, but his chopsticks didn't stop as he kept picking at the pork and putting it into his mouth.

I expect that after eating these two bowls of meat at noon and practicing standing meditation for a while in the afternoon, I will be able to accumulate my Qi and blood to the current level of perfection!

He planned to break through the blood barrier at that time!

After the meal, Qin Shaoyang left alone, feeling dejected.

Ye Chu and Han Heng parted ways, and Ye Chu went to the front yard to continue practicing stances to nourish his qi and blood.

Wei Lin, who had been silent all along, leaned over and chatted with him for a couple of minutes:

"Brother Ye, this morning when I was selling fish at the fish market, I happened to see a fisherman catch a treasure fish."

Ye Chu initially thought Wei Lin was there to make a sales pitch and was inclined to refuse.

Wei Lin ignored Ye Chu's refusal and continued speaking:

"However, your eagle, taking advantage of Qiong Yulou's transaction with the fishermen, snatched the precious fish when they weren't looking... Now Qiong Yulou is furious, you'd better watch your step!"

"Thank you for reminding me!"

Ye Chu was terrified by the information Wei Lin provided!

How could a model young man raise such a bird?

No wonder that when he was collecting the Daoist essence of the unclaimed meat shop this morning, the eagle suddenly disappeared and only returned after he finished eating breakfast at the martial arts school.

Furthermore, Qiongyulou's high-end cuisine includes the Treasure Fish Banquet, attracting numerous martial artists, yet none dare to cause any trouble. This demonstrates the immense strength and influence behind the restaurant.

At this stage, Ye Chu cannot afford to provoke such a behemoth!

"Ugh! This is going to kill me!"

"And you idiot, robbing once is one thing, but robbing the same place twice in front of everyone?"

"Now you're free. Go back to the mountains, and never claim to recognize me again!"

Ye Chu pushed the eagle away!

He hasn't had enough of this peaceful life yet.

The little eagle, however, only thought Ye Chu was playing around with it, soaring up and down with boundless energy, which infuriated Ye Chu.

In the late afternoon,

Ye Chu stopped practicing his stance and felt the Qi and blood circulating throughout his body, which had accumulated to the point where he could not progress any further.

With each breath, the roar of a tiger and the sound of thunder resounded within his chest and lungs;

In my mind, a faint phantom image of a tiger descending the mountain was vaguely formed!

Furthermore, due to the effects of the "Wolf Smoke Elixir," it is easy to control the Qi and blood to evenly cover the skin membrane, completely sealing off the physical body.

"Only one step remains: sense the frequency within the body where qi and blood are blocked, then unify the frequency of the entire body to generate and seize internal energy... and then you will break through the blood barrier!"

This process of perceiving one's own frequency does not require strenuous exercise, but rather listening to one's heart in stillness!

Ye Chu stood under the shade of a tree, closed his eyes, and used his qi and blood to seal his upper eyelids, completely sealing his body.

Thump!

The powerful pulse emanating from the heart, the source of all strength, resonates within the body, flowing endlessly through the internal organs, permeating every inch of fascia, and penetrating deep into the bones and marrow.

A mighty roar, endlessly surging within the microcosm of the human body!

Whew!

Sigh!

The long, drawn-out breathing rises and falls with each breath, matching the heart rate with each inhalation and exhalation, and causing the blood and qi surging between the skin membranes to resonate with the heartbeat!

Over time, the resonant frequencies of every inch of flesh and fascia in the body tend to converge to a common origin.

However, just as a tuning fork can easily shatter a glass with the power of resonance, the shock and pressure that the physical body bears also increases dramatically.

Under this extreme pressure that threatened to tear the physical body apart, a vast energy forged from frequency and blood suddenly emerged!

"Ye Chu has been standing with his eyes closed for quite a while, why is he suddenly stopping?"

Niu San noticed Ye Chu's unusual behavior and started talking to Yang Dayong beside him.

As for Ji Shan, he was ostracized because of his relationship with Ye Chu.

"Perhaps they're using their exceptional comprehension to figure out how to surpass the cultivation speed of those with top-tier innate talent!"

Following Niu San's lead and the hostility of young master Yang Heng, Yang Dayong began to mock.

"Can we, mere lower-ranking officials, truly surpass those of the highest rank?"

Qin Shaoyang, who was also born with the same Ding family talent, was asking Ye Chu a question, and also questioning his own heart: would he have the opportunity to surpass the geniuses in his family and stand out to take power in the future?
