This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

"My father-in-law said I could master it in 20 days at the fastest and a month at the slowest!"

And you?"

Han Heng was quite curious about this special talent—that his comprehension was comparable to his own top-grade innate talent, and that made up for Ye Chu's inferior innate talent.

"My master didn't say, that's why I'm asking you. But I've been practicing all morning, and I feel like I won't be able to perfect it in less than a month."

After learning about Han Heng's general progress, Ye Chu began to fabricate his own cultivation progress.

However, given Yu Hanheng's cultivation speed, he still needs to add points to keep up.

Fortunately, one Time Dao Rhyme can add one cultivation progress, which is good for accumulating likes.

roar~

Suddenly, a tiger's roar and thunderous howl erupted in the front yard.

Ye Chu and Han Heng exchanged a glance, realizing that the one who could break through the blood barrier at this moment was either Qin Shaoyang or Yang Heng.

The two, along with seven or eight other young masters from prominent families in the inner courtyard, headed towards the lotus gate leading to the front courtyard.

Beneath Qin Shaoyang's crimson skin, a trembling sound like the stirring of countless insects filled the air as he undertook the final stage of breaking through the blood barrier. He concentrated his energy into a powerful force, refining it through intense frequency and extreme exertion.

Ye Chu and Han Heng exchanged a smile. It was a pleasant surprise that Qin Shaoyang could break through faster than Yang Heng!

He walked directly to Qin Shaoyang's side, keeping an eye on Yang Heng, whose face was flushed red with either shame or anger.

As for the others, even Wei Lin, who didn't pay much attention to the outside world and focused solely on cultivation, they all deliberately stopped what they were doing, afraid that the sound of their practice would disturb Qin Shaoyang's breakthrough moment.

Suddenly, the blood and qi emanating from Qin Shaoyang's crimson skin trembled violently, as if he were about to collapse.

At this moment, whether it was the strongest senior brother, the ones in the inner courtyard who had already broken through to the Blood Cultivation Realm, or the ordinary apprentices in the front courtyard, everyone could only hold their breath.

No one can help Qin Shaoyang at this moment.

Fortunately, Qin Shaoyang quickly stabilized the turmoil in his blood and qi, continuing to search for that strange resonance rhythm in harmony with the throbbing of his heartbeat and breathing.

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Shaoyang, drenched in sweat, suddenly opened his eyes with delight and looked at the many people around him.

"Hahaha~"

Qin Shaoyang's joyful roar seemed to release the pent-up frustration of the past few days after successfully breaking through the blood barrier.

"I've finally broken through the Blood Barrier, and I'm so grateful to all my senior brothers for silently supporting me during this breakthrough!"

Qin Shaoyang's gaze swept over the apprentices in the front yard, then turned to the inner courtyard, which was now open to visitors, and looked at his illustrious older brother, Qin Shiming...

Then there will be another round of celebrations, with ups and downs for everyone.

We've all been through this stage, and I'm delighted to hear so many congratulations.

This time, Qin Shaoyang's breakthrough did not involve the disruption caused by Yang Heng that occurred when Han Heng and Ye Chu broke through.

But as everyone offered their congratulations and prepared to leave,

Yang Heng suddenly shouted:

"Third Senior Brother, don't be impatient! I could just sense that your Qi and blood have reached perfection and you are about to break through."

I didn't expect Qin Shaoyang to suddenly let out a tiger's roar, interrupting my state of mind.

But it's alright, I can still connect now. Please, Third Senior Brother, protect me.

As Yang Heng spoke, he specifically looked at Han Heng, Ye Chu, and even Qin Shaoyang, who had just broken through.

As for the third senior brother, Qi Feixing, he had no objection. His job was to stay at home to look after things, and even to guide the apprentices in their first few days of training in stance exercises, and guide them into the inner courtyard after they broke through their blood barriers, among other things.

Therefore, in response to Yang Heng's request, the third senior brother Qi Feixing had no objection and stayed.

Although they were about to leave, they sensed there might be something interesting to see, so they all stayed.

Yang Heng, however, kept a close eye on Ye Chu and Han Heng, and finally said with lingering concern:

"Third Senior Brother, I hope you can keep an eye on these two and prevent them from interrupting my breakthrough."

"I'm watching closely; there won't be any mistakes. Go ahead and break through!"

Having received instructions from his third senior brother Qi Feixing, Yang Heng dared to close his eyes and continue to focus his mind on the tiger's roar that resonated within his chest.

Seeking that state of harmony between the frequencies of body and mind.

Sure enough, in a short while, Yang Heng not only produced the signature roar of a tiger and thunderous sound, but his skin was also stained blood red by his qi and blood, and his muscles and bones were covered with a sight that resembled countless tiny insects leaping about.

After exchanging a glance with Han Heng, and with his third senior brother Qi Feixing watching over him, there really wasn't any way to deal with Yang Heng.

But Ye Chu also had some doubts.

The White Lotus Sect was plotting against Yang Shuisheng, wanting to cause trouble for the Yang family.

Logically, something should have happened this morning, but it's been dragging on until this midday and there's still no movement. I wonder if this matter has been accomplished at all.

Suddenly a commotion came from the front door, and an old servant was hurriedly brought in by the gatekeeper.

Then the old servant saw Yang Heng in the courtyard, his skin completely red, as if thousands of insects were tearing at his skin, and he let out a loud howl:

"Young Master, what happened to you? Master's head was broken by Yang Shuisheng, and the old lady was humiliated by that wicked servant Yang Shuisheng before she hanged herself!"

Young master, you're the only pillar of our Yang family left...

The old servant collapsed to the ground, speaking in utter grief. Even the third senior brother, Qi Feixing, could not stop him from hearing his heartbreaking words.

At this moment, the thunderous roar emanating from Yang Heng's chest, which was about to break through, suddenly ceased, turning into a breath of air that he exhaled.

Immediately following was a "pfft" sound, and a mouthful of blood gushed out!

Then Yang Heng stared intently at the old servant kneeling on the ground, howling and shouting.

"You, you, you old servant deserve to die! You're blocking my path to enlightenment..."

Yang Heng was so angry that he staggered back a few steps.

Just as Yang Heng was about to fall to the ground, Niu San quickly helped him up.

At this moment, Yang Heng also saw Yang Dayong and Ji Shan behind him.

"Useless! Didn't you stop this old servant when he barged in?"

Yang Heng glared angrily at his third senior brother, Qi Feixing, his chest heaving with frustration.

"Third senior brother, why didn't you stop this old servant when he first came in?"

I was just one breath away from seizing the vital energy, but now this old servant has disturbed my vital energy, causing me to suffer internal injuries and cough up blood!

"Well, there's nothing I can do. You told me to keep an eye on Han Heng and Ye Chu. Besides, this old servant rushed in and started telling me about your family's miserable situation. How could I stop him?" Third Senior Brother Qi Feixing didn't want to take the blame, so he immediately tried to deflect the responsibility.

"Yes, yes, young master, why don't we hurry back and take a look?" Niu San quickly advised.

"Young master, please calm down. It was my fault for coming at the wrong time, but you must hurry back and check on things... The master's head is bleeding, but a doctor has been called. It's just that the old lady was violated..."

The old servant broke down in tears as he spoke.

Yang Heng was so enraged by the thought that his mother had been humiliated to the point of hanging herself that he saw black eyes and coughed up blood again.
