"Stop!"

At this moment, the Great Leader Yi Ke spoke up, saying, "You two are evenly matched, both of you enter the top five!"

The chase battle between Yi Kuang and Yi Feng had been at a stalemate, neither side able to gain the upper hand. Yi Ke intervened to stop them.

This battle came as a surprise to everyone.

Yi Feng, an unknown youth, had almost the same strength as Yi Kuang, the grandson of the clan leader, which was astonishing. After all, Yi Kuang was one of the leading figures of this generation, with a cultivation level of the middle stage of the fifth rank. In a few years, he might become a powerful warrior of the tribe, serving as the captain of the tribal warriors.

Next, Yi Shan challenged Yi Hong.

This battle also shocked the entire tribe. Yi Shan fought fiercely with Yi Hong on the stage for a long time, only being knocked off the stage at the last moment.

Even so, Yi Shan's strength left many of the tribal elders and warriors amazed.

The gap between him and Yi Hong was not significant.

Of course, if Yi Shan had used the Flying Feather Technique, Yi Hong would not have been able to defeat him. He had the strength to protect himself, but Yi Shan did not use the Flying Feather Technique. When he encountered a battle, he went all out.

Near the square, seeing Yi Feng and Yi Shan display their prowess, their families, such as Su Yue'e and Yi Xiaoting, were all pleasantly surprised.

Next, Yi Li stepped onto the stage to challenge Yi Kuang.

This battle once again shocked the entire tribe, especially the clan leader, the major elders, and the Great Leader and Deputy Leader. They were surprised by the appearance of Yi Feng and others who had fought fiercely with Yi Kuang and Yi Hong. How had their cultivation levels improved so quickly?

Among this group of youths, apart from Yi Kuang and Yi Hong who had reached the fifth rank, the majority were only at the third rank, or even the second rank, with only one or two barely breaking through to the fourth rank.

Those one or two fourth-rank youths had relied on a lot of resources to reach this level.

In the end, Yi Li, with his extensive combat experience, fought Yi Kuang, who was one rank higher, to a draw.

This left Yi Kuang extremely frustrated.

The competition had entered its final stage. Yi Kuang, Yi Hong, Yi Feng, and Yi Li all had the strength comparable to the fifth rank, overwhelming the younger generation without any doubt.

Yi Shan, though narrowly defeated by Yi Hong, was almost on par with him. These five people likely occupied the top five positions.

Just as everyone thought the top five positions were settled, Yi Tian stepped forward and said to the Great Leader Yi Ke, "Can I challenge all five of them together?"

The Great Leader Yi Ke was taken aback.

The tribal elders and all the tribal people in the square were stunned.

This youth was too arrogant, actually wanting to challenge the five strongest of this generation. The tribal warriors, in particular, found it hard to believe.

After all, even they would find it difficult to defeat any one of Yi Kuang and the others easily. Many of the tribal warriors did not have such strength, yet their strength was enough to rank them among the top hundred in the tribe.

Now, Yi Tian was actually going to fight five at once. This was simply inconceivable, and only a sixth-rank warrior would have such confidence.

Yi Ke was taken aback but quickly recovered, looking at Yi Tian curiously and nodding, "You can."

"Too arrogant! Do you know who you are? I can defeat you with one hand!"

At this moment, Yi Kuang reacted, furious at Yi Tian.

One after another, opponents had appeared that he could not defeat, which had already made him feel very suppressed. Now, Yi Tian had stepped forward, and he could no longer hold back.

Yi Tian took a step onto the stage, and a miraculous scene unfolded.

Yi Tian seemed to float like a feather in the air, moving slowly yet quickly to the stage. The distance of several yards seemed to be just a step away, as if he were a divine being.

This...

Everyone who saw this was stunned, and the ancestral temple fell silent in an instant.

The old clan leader, the major elders, and the Great Leader Yi Ke all had their eyes widen. This light body technique was too advanced; even they could not achieve such a level, the gap was significant.

Yi Kuang, Yi Hong, and the others were also stunned by Yi Tian's move.

Although Yi Kuang was arrogant and overbearing, he was not foolish and saw through Yi Tian's extraordinary nature.

"Brother Tian, go easy on them!"

At this moment, Yi Feng, with a thick face, stepped forward to Yi Tian.

Yi Li and Yi Shan quickly distanced themselves from Yi Feng, who was already planning to concede before the battle even began.

Yi Shan and Yi Li were very much looking forward to this battle. They had almost never fought Yi Tian before and had no clear understanding of his strength. They hoped to gauge Yi Tian's true strength through this battle and would not hold back.

When Yi Ke announced the start of the competition, Yi Kuang was the first to attack Yi Tian.

Yi Hong, Yi Li, and Yi Shan also rushed forward, working together with a formidable momentum that even a sixth-rank warrior would have to temporarily retreat.

At this moment, Yi Tian moved.

Boom!

Yi Tian punched at Yi Kuang, and the two clashed for the first time. However, the pure yang true qi on Yi Tian's fist burst like a small sun, shattering the true qi on Yi Kuang's fist.

In an instant, Yi Kuang was punched back and fell on the stage, his body scorched black.

At the same time, the attacks from Yi Hong, Yi Li, and Yi Shan arrived.

However, Yi Tian instantly moved to the side, appearing in another position in an instant.

Boom!

Yi Tian appeared behind Yi Shan and punched.

When Yi Shan activated his true qi to cover his back to block the attack, he was hit hard and flown out.

Next, Yi Li, Yi Hong, and Yi Feng were all defeated by Yi Tian with a single punch each. The entire process took less than twenty breaths, and he crushed the five of them with overwhelming force.

The entire square fell silent.

They were all shocked by Yi Tian's strength.

In the ancestral temple, the tribal elders were also stunned by Yi Tian's strength.

They could see that Yi Tian's strength was not just at this level.

It was likely that his strength had already reached the level of a high-rank warrior; otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat five warriors with the strength of the fifth rank so easily.

The competition ended quickly.

After discussion, the top five in this competition were Yi Hong, Yi Kuang, Yi Feng, Yi Shan, and Yi Li. As for Yi Tian, his strength was too great, and the gap between them was enormous, making him the first of this generation.

In the archery competition, Yi Tian, with the ninth level of the Stacking Waves technique, won the first place in archery without any dispute, overwhelming all of them.

As for Yi Hong, Yi Kuang, and Yi Feng, they had only mastered the fifth and sixth levels of the Stacking Waves secret technique.

This coming-of-age ceremony finally came to an end.

When everyone dispersed, Yi Tian, Yi Kuang, Yi Hong, Yi Shan, Yi Feng, and Yi Li stayed behind and entered the ancestral temple.

In the ancestral temple, the old clan leader, the major elders, and the Great Leader and Deputy Leader were already waiting.

"Yi Tian, how did your cultivation improve so quickly?"

The moment he saw Yi Tian, the old clan leader could not help but ask.

"Reporting to the clan leader, I have a natural intuition. When I was cultivating the Blazing Fire Technique, I always felt uncomfortable, as if there were many shortcomings. So, I continuously adjusted the cultivation method, and my cultivation speed increased several times. In just a few years, I reached the sixth rank."

Yi Tian had increased his cultivation by one rank, which made them less suspicious.

His true qi capacity was indeed equivalent to the sixth rank, with no difference.

"What?"

Everyone present was shocked.

Even the old clan leader and the major elders, who were usually calm, were greatly surprised by Yi Tian's words.

Yi Tian had actually dared to modify his cultivation method, which was incredibly bold and reckless.

After all, modifying a cultivation method was not something anyone could do casually.

Only true martial arts experts, with deep understanding of martial arts, could create or improve cultivation methods. For others, rashly modifying a cultivation method would only lead to a disastrous end, often resulting in death.

To them, only those who could walk on air were considered true experts.

Below the human rank, one was just at the entry level of martial arts.
