This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

Hoo-hoo~ Rumble!

A deep tiger's roar, accompanied by rolling thunder, resounded throughout the training ground.

In an instant, it dragged away the minds of many who were either mocking, sneering, bewildered, or immersed in self-cultivation.

Following the sound, one could see that Ye Chu's skin was crimson, his bones and muscles were throbbing, his internal organs were rumbling, and beneath his skin, countless strange insects were wriggling like threads.

"He succeeded?"

Qin Shaoyang observed the unusual phenomenon surrounding Ye Chu, which was exactly the same as the strange phenomenon that occurred when Han Heng broke through the blood barrier that morning!

The initial contempt due to his inferiority complex vanished completely, because he was about to enter the inner courtyard!

The inner courtyard and the front courtyard are separated by a single wall, yet their lives and social status are completely different!

Envy, jealousy, and a desire to take her place all welled up inside me...

He then felt somewhat annoyed that he had previously belittled Ye Chu while praising Han Heng. Indeed, he had paid very little attention to Ye Chu and had little to no relationship with him. Not to mention that as soon as Han Heng left in the morning, he completely distanced himself from Ye Chu and didn't even offer a word of support to Yang Heng's side.

It would be too late to try to build a closer relationship now, just like how the inner disciples didn't bother with him during lunch this morning.

But that's reality. When you become powerful, you become the truth, and then people will try to curry favor with you.

Immediately following, Qin Shaoyang also found the answer to the question he had just posed to himself:

He and Ye Chu were both of the lower-grade root bone. If Ye Chu, a helpless tenant slave, could surpass the cultivation speed of a first-grade root bone, why couldn't he, with his money and resources, do the same?

One day, he will climb to the top, trample those geniuses in his family who mocked him underfoot, and seize control of the family!

the other side,

Niu San and Yang Dayong, who had just finished mocking Ye Chu, felt an invisible slap land on their faces, stinging with pain!

Yang Heng, whose face had been so dark and gloomy from anger at his senior brother in the inner courtyard that morning, only managed to calm down after Han Heng left and publicly reprimanded Ye Chu. He then put on a calm, gentle, and refined demeanor once again.

But seeing that Ye Chu was about to break through his blood barrier, and remembering the harsh words he had uttered that morning: "You, a lowly tenant slave with inferior talent, actually think you can surpass my cultivation progress?"

At this moment, I felt that my mocking words had backfired and made me feel ashamed!

An indescribable feeling of nausea and resentment surged to the top of my head, as if I had swallowed a lump of foul-smelling dog excrement, causing all my facial features to contort and my appearance to become hideous and terrifying!

"No! He hasn't fully integrated all his power yet, he hasn't completely broken through the barrier, I still have a chance..."

Yang Heng suddenly turned his head and stared at Ji Shan:

"Ji Shan, go give your brother-in-law a nudge and tell him you want to visit your sister and ask him for guidance on stance training!"

"I...I...I can't hurt my brother-in-law!"

Ji Shan felt that his brother-in-law was about to break through and become a martial artist, but at this moment, Yang Heng, who was burning with anger, ordered him to go and cause trouble.

Isn't this harming my brother-in-law?

Although he is young, he is not really stupid, much less willing to risk his life for the Yang family!

"You son of a bitch! You've already signed the martial arts contract, and you dare disobey me? You'll regret this when we get back!"

Yang Heng cursed Ji Shan angrily, and wanted to go back and vent his anger on the Ji family.

However, interrupting Ye Chu's breakthrough was the most crucial thing right now, so he looked at Niu San and Yang Dayong beside him.

In terms of natural talent and intelligence, Niu San was far superior to Yang Dayong, and he made his choice.

"Dayong, go and give Ye Chu a nudge, and tell him you want to ask him about stance training."

"Huh? Me?"

Yang Dayong was taken aback. If he did this kind of dirty work, the martial arts school would definitely hold him accountable; if he didn't do it, he would definitely offend the young master.

A thought suddenly struck me, and I actually had an idea!

Everyone is from the Yang family. Yang Heng is the young master, and he is also the son of the clan leader. Why is Yang Heng so much more noble?

So his father's strategy for him was to play dumb in front of Yang Heng, always making excuses and shirking responsibility, and always hiding behind Yang Heng when trouble arose...

"Young Master, shall I go and inquire about the stance training?"

"Whatever you're asking for advice, go and give him a push, interrupt him..."

"Brother Yang, that's not right!"

Seeing this, Qin Shaoyang immediately stepped forward. He was just worried about not having a chance to repair his relationship with Ye Chu, and this was like a pillow delivered to his sleepy head!

The martial artists in the inner courtyard also heard the thunderous roar from the front courtyard, a sound that signified an imminent breakthrough.

Third Senior Brother Qi Feixing was somewhat puzzled:

Han Heng's breakthrough today was expected. Qin Shaoyang and Yang Heng need two or three more days to accumulate experience, Shang Feihong needs about five or six more days, and the rest will need at least ten days to half a month, or at most one or two months, to have a chance to break through.

From where did this new level-breaker come from?

If you can't figure it out, then see for yourself.

As the third senior brother Qi Feixing moved, many figures in the inner courtyard also moved.

Han Heng, in particular, was hoping that Ye Chu could break through the Blood Barrier faster than Yang Heng, just like him, so that together they could slap Yang Heng in the face for always talking about "cheap tenant slave"!

"What are you all arguing about? Didn't you see someone break through the blood barrier?"

"Third Senior Brother, Yang Heng instructed Yang Dayong to shove Ye Chu, attempting to prevent Ye Chu from breaking through the Blood Barrier... I couldn't stand this kind of self-destructive behavior, so I stepped in to stop him!"

Qin Shaoyang immediately tried to cultivate a righteous image, condemning the bad behavior of Yang Heng and his gang.

Yang Dayong remained silent and dumbfounded, while Yang Heng deliberately argued loudly that Yang Dayong had gone to ask for advice on stance training and had no intention of obstructing the breakthrough.

Qi Feixing's face was ashen, and his angry voice dominated the entire room:

"Shut up! From now on, no one is allowed to make a sound!"

Ye Chu saw that the energy that had been flowing freely within his body since birth had completely absorbed all the vibrations that caused his body and mind to become one, thus eliminating the potential danger of his physical body being shattered.

While one's internal energy may be strong, it is not as easy to grasp and control as one's sense of energy or blood and qi.

However, the phantom image of a tiger descending the mountain, which had been condensed in his mind, rose from the Niwan point in his brain, traveled along the Yintang and Suliao points, up the Queqiao and Xuanying points, through the Twelve-Story Tower, and straight down to the Tanzhong point, and with a sudden pounce, seized the energy that was entrenched in his heart!

In an instant, all the free energy flowed into the tiger form. The two intertwined in light and shadow, with the intention enveloping the energy. The energy and intention merged into a seamless whole, which is the essence of capturing energy!

From then on, his strength was at his command, without any further hindrance.

"Cleared the level!"

Ye Chu exhaled all the turbid air from his chest and suddenly opened his eyelids.

The congratulatory voices that filled the courtyard rose and fell from that moment on, a stark contrast to the desolate silence of the morning when no one came to help when Yang Heng made things difficult for them. The contrast between the warmth and the coldness brought a myriad of emotions to their hearts in an instant!

"Congratulations everyone!"

When Ye Chu returned the gifts one by one, he also made a point of chatting with Qin Shaoyang for a few more minutes to express his gratitude.

However, there was a group of people in the courtyard who did not come to offer their congratulations, namely Yang Heng and his group!

Since we've already torn off all pretense of civility, there's no need to hold back.

Ye Chu looked at Qi Feixing: "Third Senior Brother, given Yang Heng's destructive behavior, what should the martial arts school do?"

Qi Feixing felt that this matter was very troublesome!

But after thinking about it, I realized that if someone is wrong, they still need to be punished.

Otherwise, others will follow suit and cause chaos in the martial arts school.

"Although no harm was caused, the intention was indeed malicious. Yang Heng, how about you compensate Ye Chu with ten taels of silver?"
