Chapter 17

~~

Before seeing his cousin Ye Zhongtang demonstrate his divine skill, Ye Wei had no absolute confidence that he could help improve it. Now, Ye Wei was finally certain he could help his cousin!

In his excitement and agitation, Ye Wei's hand, which was placed on the gate, suddenly trembled, causing the gate to emit a slight "creak."

Ye Wei was startled and hastily withdrew his hand.

"Who's there?!"

The moment Ye Wei withdrew his hand, Ye Zhong, who was practicing hard in the courtyard, suddenly changed his expression. His eyes shot out two beams of icy cold light, and he stomped his foot, charging to the gate like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

Ye Zhong was a Four-star Warrior Realm powerhouse, and the slight sound from the gate did not escape his ears!

Lifting his hand, a crimson glow bloomed in his palm. If this palm were to land, the entire gate would shatter into pieces, and Ye Wei, hiding behind the gate, would either die or suffer severe injuries.

"It's me, Cousin Ye Zhong!" Feeling the terrifying aura rushing towards him, Ye Wei broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly called out.

"Ye Wei?"

Hearing the familiar voice from outside the gate, Ye Zhong's expression turned serious. In the split second, he abruptly retracted his hand, and the fierce backlash made his face even paler.

Creak!

Ye Zhong opened the gate and looked at Ye Wei, who seemed to be still shaken, with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Ye Wei, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping? Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"

Ye Zhong rubbed Ye Wei's head, deliberately scolding him with a stern face.

"This weather is unbearably hot, I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I ended up walking to your place!" Ye Wei scratched the back of his head and laughed, making up an excuse.

"You little brat, come in!"

Ye Zhong shook his head slightly, feeling a bit helpless, and pulled Ye Wei into the courtyard, then closed the gate.

"Is Cousin Ye Zhong a bit nervous about Du Han Yue, who is a Six-star Warrior?" Ye Wei asked, looking at his cousin's pale and weary face.

"What do you know, kid!" Ye Zhong tapped Ye Wei's head, looked up at the silver moon hanging high in the night sky, and his pale face showed an extremely serious expression.

Nervous?

How could he not be nervous? His opponent was a renowned genius among the younger generation of Qingyue City, a Six-star Warrior, while he was merely a Four-star Warrior. If he lost, the Ye family's ancestral land would be lost.

The responsibility was too heavy, almost suffocating Ye Zhong!

"Cousin, I saw you use your divine skill just now. Was it the White Tiger Life-Ending Skill? That's a high-level Spirit Rank divine skill! I don't know when I'll be able to use a divine skill, I really envy you!"

"Can you demonstrate it again for me? I didn't see it clearly just now because I was too far away." Ye Wei scratched his head, his eyes burning with anticipation as he looked at Cousin Ye Zhong.

Ye Wei was worried he might have seen it wrong and wanted to confirm it again!

"As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to!" Ye Zhong, thinking of Ye Wei's merely Red Rank Sea of Insight talent, gently patted Ye Wei's shoulder and comforted him.

To reach the Seven-star Apprentice Realm and be able to use a divine skill, it would take Ye Wei who knows how long, ten years? Twenty years? Or thirty years?

"Stand back a bit." Ye Zhong couldn't bear to refuse Ye Wei.

"Okay!"

Ye Wei nodded excitedly, stepped back three zhang, and stared intently at Cousin Ye Zhong, waiting for him to use the "White Tiger Life-Ending" skill.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Cousin Ye Zhong slowly extended his finger, and his mental energy swirled at the tip. Using mental energy as a pen and primordial energy as ink, he skillfully wrote divine patterns in the air.

In a breath, 136 divine patterns with a faint glow quietly floated around Ye Zhong, enveloping him in a misty light, making him emit a mysterious and profound aura.

"White Tiger Life-Ending!"

With a low shout from Cousin Ye Zhong's throat, the 136 divine patterns turned into streams of light, rapidly combining in an extremely profound and complex manner.

Roar!

A faint white tiger shadow floated above Ye Zhong's head. The white tiger roared to the sky, causing the air to violently oscillate. Invisible waves rippled like water, stirring up the withered leaves in the courtyard. Even from three zhang away, Ye Wei felt a terrifying pressure suddenly hit him, making his body tremble uncontrollably. He staggered back five or six steps before stabilizing himself.

"Indeed, there's a problem!"

A glint of gold flashed in Ye Wei's eyes as he stared at the white tiger shadow. His eyes became extremely bright. In Ye Wei's view, the flow of primordial energy at two nodes in the 136 divine patterns combined in a profound manner was not smooth enough.

One of the errors was very obvious and easy to improve, but the other error was quite subtle and more difficult to fix!

"If I rashly point out the two errors in the White Tiger Life-Ending skill, Cousin Ye Zhong definitely won't believe me..." Ye Wei's brows furrowed, and how to make his cousin believe him was a problem.

"Among the two errors, the obvious one can be fixed by simply reversing the position of one divine pattern. I must persuade Cousin to try it!" Ye Wei thought to himself.

"Cousin, you're so amazing!" Ye Wei slowly took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and looked at Cousin Ye Zhong with envy. Then he slowly walked to Cousin Ye Zhong and asked, "Cousin, are the positions of the 136 divine patterns that make up the White Tiger Life-Ending skill fixed? What would happen if the positions of the divine patterns were reversed? For example, can these two divine patterns be reversed in position?"

After hearing Ye Wei's words, Cousin Ye Zhong laughed heartily. "The positions of the divine patterns in most divine skills are fixed. The ancestors have already researched very complete combinations of divine patterns. How can they be randomly reversed? If reversed, they either won't work or their power will be greatly reduced!"

"I heard that warriors can manipulate divine patterns at will. Alas, with my talent, I don't know when I'll be able to write divine patterns. I really want to try the feeling of manipulating divine patterns!" Ye Wei lowered his head, deliberately acting dejected, wanting his cousin to move the divine patterns according to his idea. "Why don't you demonstrate it for me, Cousin Ye Zhong?"

Ye Zhong looked at Ye Wei with affection. Ye Wei only had a Red Rank Sea of Insight and didn't know how to manipulate divine patterns, so he must be very dejected. He naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request from Ye Wei. He smiled and said, "Manipulating divine patterns isn't difficult. Xiao Wei, never give up on yourself. Even if your talent is poor, it's not a big deal. When Chen Feng was young, his talent was also very poor!"

"Look, manipulating divine patterns is a simple matter!" Cousin Ye Zhong looked at Ye Wei with affection, moved his fingers slightly, and the mental energy at his fingertips, like an invisible thread, easily reversed the position of the divine pattern Ye Wei pointed to.

The divine patterns flowed, quickly forming a complete divine skill.

After the position of the divine pattern was reversed, the 136 divine patterns that made up the "White Tiger Life-Ending" skill combined even more perfectly, and the flow of primordial energy was much smoother than usual.

In an instant, silver light radiated, and the divine patterns emitted a dazzling and brilliant glow. The white tiger shadow became clearer, and even the fur was visible. Then, two deep tiger roars suddenly sounded, like thunder, almost lifting the tiles of the surrounding houses.

Roar!

The tiger's eyes were wide open, exuding a majestic aura. The tiger's roar was powerful and overwhelming.

This time, Ye Zhong used less than half the primordial energy he usually used, but the power was much more astonishing than usual!

"What, what's going on?!" Ye Zhong was stunned, his expression blank as he raised his head and stared at the white tiger shadow floating above his head. After the position of the divine pattern was reversed, he could clearly sense that the power of the White Tiger Life-Ending skill had increased by several degrees!

The White Tiger Life-Ending skill was the strongest among the Ye family's sixteen high-level Spirit Rank divine skills, already a first-class high-level Spirit Rank divine skill. Now, by simply moving one divine pattern, the power of the White Tiger Life-Ending skill had increased by several degrees!

He never expected such a small change to have such a strong effect, and a deep sense of shock appeared on Ye Zhong's face!
