Chapter 25

The hero's heart leaped with joy, and a plan sprang to mind. He immediately suppressed the soul's desire to devour the oath emblem, allowing it to temporarily imprint on his soul.

It was like temporarily storing a cake, to be enjoyed later after completing the task.

This guy truly treated oaths as nothing more than flatulence.

Old Mr. Hua nodded in satisfaction, tossing a token of identity to the hero. The token bore the character "Ying," making the hero a member of the Ying generation.

Flipping through the family genealogy, it was clear that the Tianchuan Hua family was a nouveau riche clan, having only ten generations since its founding. But tracing back to the roots, the Hua family was actually a small branch of the Xuanyuan clan!

"Xuanyuan clan?" The hero had no idea where this clan came from, so he didn't pay much attention. If the full name were to be read, it would be Xuanyuan Hua! Hua was the first ancestor of this small branch.

Not only did the hero not know, even Hua Zilong didn't know.

Old Mr. Hua didn't care whether they knew about the existence of the Xuanyuan clan. The necessary procedures had been completed, and it was time to disperse.

Just as Old Mr. Hua was about to leave the ancestral hall, a few insincere laughs came from outside. Then a voice said, "Brother, since you've entered the ancestral hall, don't be in such a hurry to leave. The brothers still have some questions to ask you in front of our ancestors."

The hero immediately guessed who had arrived. The Hua family had been in Tianchuan for ten generations, and each generation's illegitimate offspring could not enter the Hua family's ancestral hall at will. Only the first generation of illegitimate offspring, whose names were recorded in the genealogy, could enter. This was to maintain the status and dignity of the main family.

Old Mr. Hua ignored the newcomers and was about to leave the ancestral hall with his people, but he was blocked by three brothers. One of them sneered, "Second brother, why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's rare for you to come to the ancestral hall, and we brothers have some things to discuss with you in front of our ancestors."

Old Mr. Hua, of course, knew what these brothers were up to. The rumor had already spread to many people with ulterior motives, and after a while, someone would inevitably lose patience.

The first to lose patience, of course, were his own brothers. They had their own families and had long moved out of the main residence, some living in the same villa complex, others in the city. Tianchuan City had become half the territory of the Hua family.

Old Mr. Hua shook his head at the brother who spoke, "Third brother, you shouldn't be asking me this now. What's yours, I won't withhold a bit."

This third brother was Hua San, who laughed and said, "Hey, from your tone, it seems the rumor is true? Alright, I want my share now."

The hero, who had previously been in a lower social circle, didn't know about the rumor regarding the Hua family. Although he now understood it vaguely, he despised Hua San deeply. Hua San's meaning was clear: whether or not you have that thing, I want my share.

Turtle Grandpa, however, praised, "This grandson is my kind of person. If he can take it, he'll take it openly. If others don't have it, he'll bluff to take it! I like it, but one Turtle Grandpa is enough in this world!"

The hero was speechless at Turtle Grandpa's words.

Hua Zilong was furious at his uncle's words, clearly intending to stand up for his father. However, a glance from Hua San stopped him. Hua San was no pushover.

It seemed Hua San had been waiting for Old Mr. Hua to enter the ancestral hall for a long time. Inside the ancestral hall, every word spoken in front of the ancestors must be true, or it would trigger the Hua family's oath curse.

Old Mr. Hua, facing his third brother with his back to the ancestral tablets, didn't know how to respond. No matter what, his third brother was determined to get his share. That share was not easy to divide, and mishandling it could lead to the destruction of the entire Hua family.

The most difficult thing to handle was the relationship between brothers. Old Mr. Hua had to consider a broader and more extensive range of issues.

At this moment, the hero felt a strong wind behind him, someone was about to attack! Just as he was about to dodge, he remembered that he had entered the Hua family as a newly awakened psychic. In this moment of hesitation, he felt as if a mountain had pressed down on him!

This was a psychic lock! The person behind him had reached the level of a super combat body! Since Hua Yingnian could enter the inner courtyard's preparatory team, he must have the strength of a super combat body or higher.

This kick was meant to cripple him.

In that instant, a drum-like sound came from the hero's gourd heart, and a powerful pure yang inner breath was released from the soul emblem in the gourd heart.

The hero's soul image was the clumsy and fierce bear in the soul emblem.

The heart was the hero's kinetic energy hub, and the soul emblem was the celestial pivot of this hub.

The moment the inner breath entered the gourd heart, the human-like clumsy bear in the soul emblem let out a fierce roar, no longer looking clumsy but incredibly fierce!

The pure yang inner breath was like oil mist injected into a combustion chamber, causing a surge in blood pressure.

The inner breath merged with the blood flowing through the heart, and the hero's physical explosive power and defensive power instantly reached the limit of what he could currently endure.

No need to ask, this kick was Hua Yingnian's doing.

In the ancestral hall, it was forbidden to kill fellow clan members, so Hua Yingnian wouldn't take the hero's life, but he would make things difficult for him. Hua Yingnian's casual kick forced the hero to activate the soul emblem and mobilize the pure yang inner breath to defend!

Unable to dodge, he could only block it.

With a dull thud, the hero was kicked out of line, directly colliding with Hua San. Hua San didn't care if the sudden flying person was intentionally colliding with him, and he was about to sneer at the hero.

Hua San's strength had reached the tenth level of a super combat body. Without activating the soul emblem, a single sneer could shatter any psychic below the super combat body. In the ancestral hall, Hua San wouldn't take the hero's life, but he would make him suffer headaches and roll on the ground for three to five days.

Hua San was about to sneer when he felt the urge to defecate or urinate. Before Hua San's sneer could crush the hero, the hero quickly said, "Third uncle, look, your chicken coop door is open."

Hua San instinctively looked down, and the oppressive aura that was about to crush the hero vanished. By the time he realized what had happened, the hero had already headbutted his nose.

The collision was brutal, and the hero squatted on the ground, rubbing his head. Hua San was unharmed, but the hero felt as if he had hit an iron wall, causing the world to shake.

At this moment, the hero's gourd heart extended a root, secretly piercing into Turtle Grandpa's storage ring. The hero subconsciously thought that Turtle Grandpa had excellent pain-relieving pills, and the root followed his thoughts into Turtle Grandpa's ring.

The root stealthily swallowed a pain-relieving pill without Turtle Grandpa's notice. Under the hero's inner breath, the pill was delivered to his head, and he immediately felt a cool sensation, followed by the disappearance of all pain and dizziness.

The hero blinked and then thought joyfully, "I love this damn gourd. I am truly the best material for a life master. If I can fully understand the inheritance of the Natural Creation Dao, I will be incredibly strong."

This was the prelude to the young man's rise.
