Chapter 20

~~

A pillar of white light descended from the sky, and the vast power of the Heavenly Dao poured down, striking Ye Zhong's sea of consciousness.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar in his mind, Ye Zhong finally broke through his current level, advancing from a Four-Star Warrior to a Five-Star Warrior!

He never expected the power of the Heavenly Dao to be so strong. Ye Zhong was overjoyed. After all, he had only recently advanced to the Four-Star Warrior level. According to his original progress, it would have taken him at least one or two years to reach the Five-Star Warrior level. This time, the power of the Heavenly Dao was equivalent to two years of arduous cultivation for Ye Zhong!

The Three-Tide Palm was merely a low-level Spirit Rank technique. After Ye Wei improved it, it was upgraded to a mid-level Spirit Rank technique. Even so, the absorbed power of the Heavenly Dao allowed Lin Ziyuan to directly advance to the Warrior Realm.

This time, Ye Wei improved the high-level Spirit Rank White Tiger Killing Technique, elevating it to the Mystic Rank.

The power of the Heavenly Dao was even more vast, and it was normal for Ye Zhong's cultivation to advance from the initial Four-Star level directly to the Five-Star Warrior level!

Ye Zhong couldn't absorb all the power of the Heavenly Dao, and much of it dissipated. If he had absorbed it all, advancing to the Six-Star level would not have been difficult!

"My cultivation has reached the Five-Star Warrior Realm!" Ye Zhong's expression was incredibly excited as he said, "The White Tiger Killing Technique has become a Mystic Rank technique, and our Ye family has gained another Mystic Rank technique!"

Ye Zhong clenched his fists tightly, sensing the surging yuan qi in his dantian and the terrifying power contained in his muscles.

Mystic Rank techniques are the foundation of a family's strength!

Even in the entire Qingyue City, where the Ye family is considered a second-tier family, they have only sixteen high-level Spirit Rank techniques and three Mystic Rank techniques!

Mystic Rank techniques are priceless and can only occasionally be found at auctions, where they always fetch astronomical prices. Now, because of Ye Wei, the Ye family has gained another Mystic Rank technique! A typical Mystic Rank technique is worth a family's generational inheritance!

Warriors generally cannot use Mystic Rank techniques, but since Ye Zhong improved the White Tiger Killing Technique, he can use it beyond his rank!

"Xiao Wei!" Ye Zhong looked at Ye Wei with burning eyes. "Xiao Wei, you are a genius! A true genius!" Ye Zhong's cousin, gripping Ye Wei's shoulders, said with great excitement.

"I was just lucky!" Ye Wei smiled faintly. He was quite happy to see his cousin advance and master a Mystic Rank technique.

"Ha ha ha! Whether it's luck or not, I know that because of you, my cultivation has reached the Five-Star Warrior Realm, and because of you, our Ye family has gained another Mystic Rank technique!" No words could describe Ye Zhong's current mood, and he was filled with gratitude towards Ye Wei.

Not long ago, Ye Wei was always unknown in the family, with the worst talent. Who would have thought that this least talented little brother would possess such astonishing soul perception talent?

"I'm so sleepy, Cousin, I'm going back to sleep!" Ye Wei yawned, his eyes heavy with sleep. Seeing that Ye Zhong had advanced to the Five-Star Warrior Realm and mastered the improved White Tiger Killing Technique, Ye Wei's tense nerves relaxed, and a wave of drowsiness and fatigue washed over him.

"Alright, go to sleep. I still need to refine the Heavenly Dao power I absorbed and practice the White Tiger Killing Technique a few more times!" Ye Zhong was still immersed in his joy, full of energy, and had no sleepiness.

Ye Wei bid farewell to Ye Zhong and, stepping in the faint morning light, tiptoed back to his room and fell into a deep sleep. He was really exhausted, having been on edge all night. How could he not be tired?

At dawn, the pale blue sky was dotted with a few faint stars, and the white mist was hazy, like a silver-gray veil over the Ye residence.

A gentle breeze blew, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. While Ye Wei was sound asleep, Grandfather Ye Zhengqing, with a tiger-like gait, strode to Ye Zhong's courtyard. He had come to train Ye Zhong!

"Zhong'er is seventeen this year, the strongest among the young generation of the Ye family, but he still falls short compared to the young generation of the Du family. Not to mention the strongest Six-Star Warrior Du Han Yue, even the other Five-Star Warriors are not easy for Zhong'er to handle..."

"But, our Ye family has no other choice. We must do our best and leave the rest to fate!"

"Fortunately, Zhong'er is very ambitious. Those tiger roars last night were steady and powerful, indicating a new breakthrough in the White Tiger Killing Technique!" Grandfather Ye Zhengqing, with a slightly aged face, smiled with satisfaction and, after a moment's thought, raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" In the courtyard, Ye Zhong, still immersed in his joy, opened the door.

"Grandfather!"

Seeing his grandfather, with white hair and a clearly tired expression, Ye Zhong felt a lump in his throat. In recent days, Grandfather Ye Zhengqing seemed to have aged significantly.

"Zhong'er, has your White Tiger Killing Technique made any new progress?" Ye Zhengqing asked expectantly.

"Yes, Zhong'er has made a new breakthrough!" Ye Zhong wanted to tell his grandfather that he had already reached the Five-Star Warrior level and that Ye Wei had helped him improve the White Tiger Killing Technique, adding another Mystic Rank technique to the Ye family. But he bit his lip and held back.

This matter should be told by Ye Wei himself!

"The White Tiger Killing Technique is your strongest technique, and there's nothing more I can teach you. Today, I will train your combat experience!" Ye Zhengqing, standing straight, said, "Our family's young generation can only rely on you. Your younger siblings have good talent, but it will be difficult for them to break through to the Condensation Essence Realm in their lifetimes. If one day I pass away, your younger siblings will need you to take care of them."

Hearing Ye Zhengqing's words, Ye Zhong quickly said, "Grandfather, you are as vigorous as a dragon and a tiger, and you can live for at least another fifty years!" Ye Zhong clenched his fists. The talented young generation of the Ye family is not just him; there is also Ye Wei! Thinking of Ye Wei, Ye Zhong smiled. One day, Ye Wei will reach a realm that even he cannot achieve!

Ye Zhong decided to keep Ye Wei's secret and hide his strength. He trained with his grandfather for the whole day. Grandfather Ye Zhengqing, a Condensation Essence Realm expert, personally acted as his sparring partner, greatly enriching Ye Zhong's combat experience.

Sometimes, combat is not just about cultivation and techniques; combat experience is equally important!

During the day, Ye Zhong trained with his grandfather, and at night, he worked with Ye Wei to improve techniques. Over these three days, under Ye Wei's guidance, Ye Zhong's cousin improved three techniques.

In addition to the White Tiger Killing Technique, which was advanced to the Mystic Rank, there were two other techniques.

The high-level Spirit Rank technique, Wave-Stepping Step!

The high-level Spirit Rank technique, Three-Raid Killing Sword!

These two techniques were also Ye Zhong's main techniques. Among the sixteen high-level Spirit Rank techniques of the Ye family, the White Tiger Killing Technique was the most powerful and had been improved to the Mystic Rank by Ye Wei. The other two techniques were slightly inferior.
