Chapter 2

This phenomenon is extremely rare; the martial artists of the 'Grand Profound Continent' have never heard of anyone who can reverse and reverse the flow of qi at the same time. People focus on cultivating in a smooth manner, but when did they start to reverse the flow? Moreover, to do both the smooth flow and the reverse flow at the same time, wouldn't that just create chaos?

However, Ye Jun Tian, with his quick wit, had a sudden idea and immediately tried to guide the qi flow according to the new path.

Once, it didn't work.

Twice, it still didn't work.

After a hundred times, it finally succeeded.

In the end, there was a faint rumble. Ye Jun Tian discovered that among the hundreds of large and small blood vessels in his body, only two were still trembling and flowing smoothly in the 'positive and negative' directions. This phenomenon surely indicated that he had successfully 'vibrated his blood vessels' and entered the second level of the 'Pulse Vibration Realm'.

The 'Pulse Vibration Realm' is divided into six levels, and each time you break through a level, one more blood vessel vibrates. Imagine, the more blood vessels that vibrate, the faster the body absorbs the elemental energy of heaven and earth. The peak of this realm is when six blood vessels vibrate together.

More importantly, the ability to vibrate blood vessels and absorb elemental energy means that Ye Jun Tian has become a true martial cultivator, transcending the realm of ordinary people. From now on, the sky is vast and the earth is wide, and he can roam freely.

At this moment, Ye Jun Tian began to punch and kick wildly. After all, after just breaking through, not releasing some energy would cause discomfort in the body. So, after practicing several rounds of the Ye Family's 'Whirlwind Legs', 'Tiger Punch', and 'Ground Kicks', he finally stopped and lay down in the woods.

Ye Jun Tian closed his eyes to rest. However, the surroundings were completely silent, as if he had entered a mysterious state of emptiness at this moment.

His senses were particularly acute, and he could hear the sound of a small insect crawling more than thirty meters away. When he opened his eyes, he was instantly stunned.

Because, he could vaguely see through a small tree, the sap and the tree's veins inside. He even saw the sap flowing through the veins and a worm wriggling inside the tree trunk.

What was this situation—X-ray vision?

It seemed that only martial artists of the 'Heavenly Martial Realm' on the 'Grand Profound Continent' could initially have a vague, sensory X-ray vision. Their X-ray vision was more of a sensory perception and not true X-ray vision. For example, they could sense a person through a wall, but they couldn't see them as if they were stripped naked, similar to how X-rays work in hospitals.

Martial artists below the 'Heavenly Martial Realm' found it extremely difficult to discern their opponent's true cultivation level if the opponent remained still. They could only guess based on the aura. Once the opponent's blood qi overflowed and the aura burst, they could deduce the opponent's true blood vessel ability.

Just as he was about to play with this special ability of X-ray vision, his younger brother Ye Jun's angry voice came, "Second Brother, why haven't you gone back yet?"

"What's wrong, Jun?" Ye Jun Tian sprang up from the ground.

"Ye Han Dong brought that 'bastard' Ye Xin, and he even brought a bottle of Wolf King's blood, claiming it's the blood of a Wolf King from the 'Human Martial Realm'," Ye Jun said angrily.

"A weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year—there's no good intention. Brother, let's go quickly!" Ye Jun Tian pulled his brother and ran home. Ye Han Dong was an elder of the Ye Family, but his bloodline was not as close to the main branch of the Ye Family, which was controlled by Ye Tian Hao, as his father's branch.

Therefore, Ye Han Dong could only hover outside the Elder Council. The difference in status between having the title of 'councilor' and not having it in the Ye Family was vast, in terms of wealth and power.

For example, the mansion allocated to Ye Jun Tian's father, Ye Qing Xiao, was much more luxurious than Ye Han Dong's, and the herbs, blood crystal coins, and other resources provided by the family each year were also much more. Therefore, ordinary elders were eager to join the Elder Council.

If an elder's offspring had exceptionally strong bloodline energy, the council would also consider admitting him into the council. Because, geniuses are always a topic of discussion. Ye Han Dong bringing his son Ye Xin over was probably related to the disciples' level promotion selection.

Because, the next day, the disciples' level change competition would take place. The disciples of the Ye Family were divided into three levels: Bronze, Iron, and Wood. Bronze-level disciples were the highest and strongest, and they received the most cultivation resources in the family. Iron-level disciples were second, and Wood-level disciples were newly selected official disciples of the Ye Family.

Like Ye Jun Tian, whose bloodline test result was 'zero' and who was not yet a 'martial artist', he did not even meet the standard of a Wood-level disciple. However, as the son of Ye Qing Xiao, a member of the Elder Council, even though his bloodline ability was 'zero', Ye Qing Xiao's branch still had two spots for the cold test.

Ye Qing Xiao would definitely leave one spot for his son, but it was clear that even if Ye Jun Tian participated, he would eventually be eliminated. Therefore, Ye Han Dong had set his sights on Ye Jun Tian. His visit today was definitely for this reason, and Ye Jun Tian was well aware of it.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the mansion, he heard Ye Han Dong boasting about the various benefits of the 'Wolf King's Blood' he had.

"Elder Ye Qing Xiao, think about it. Instead of letting 'Jun Tian' be eliminated in the competition, why not give this spot to my son Ye Xin? And you will gain the essence blood of a Wolf King from the 'Human Martial Realm'. We both get what we want, why not? Besides, I will also offer a bag of herbs, worth at least 10 medium blood crystal coins."

'Blood crystal coins' are the common currency of the Zhao Kingdom, refined by experts from the blood of fierce beasts and minerals containing 'elemental energy of heaven and earth'.

They are divided into five grades: low, medium, high, and superior. Low-grade blood crystal coins are the main currency in circulation, similar to the effect of RMB. They can also be absorbed by martial artists to use the energy for cultivation.

Medium-grade blood crystal coins are rare, and most ordinary people use inferior blood crystal coins. As for high-grade blood crystal coins, which contain particularly pure bloodline energy, Ye Jun Tian, who had lived for fifteen years, had never seen one. The exchange rate between each grade of blood crystal coins is 1:1000.

"Ye Han Dong, what are you spouting? Even if Jun Tian is eliminated, it's still the right of my son Ye Qing Xiao. I won't deprive him of his right to participate. Take your junk and get lost!" Ye Qing Xiao's voice grew louder. Because, Ye Qing Xiao was always protective of his children.

Moreover, Ye Jun Tian was a 'pain' in his heart, and Ye Han Dong was clearly trying to provoke him. Recently, Ye Han Dong's popularity in the family had been high, and his son Ye Xin was also ambitious, achieving a bloodline energy test result of 30 points.

According to the bloodline energy test levels A, B, C, and D, 30 points of bloodline energy can be rated as B-level, just short of the highest A-level.

It's worth noting that the son of the family head, Ye Tian Hao, Ye Feng, could be considered a standout among the young generation of Greenwood City, with his bloodline energy reaching 40 points, the A-level. Most family members' bloodline energy was between 10 and 20 points, and 30 points of B-level bloodline energy was extremely rare.

B-level bloodline energy, if there were no major issues, could at least cultivate to the peak of the 'Earth Martial Realm'. Such a strong person was hard to find even in the entire Greenwood City, and even the family head Ye Tian Hao only had the strength of a low-grade 'Earth Martial Realm'. Therefore, Ye Xin's future was limitless.

Moreover, Ye Qing Xiao had heard some gossip. The demand to kick him out of the council was likely related to Ye Han Dong. Naturally, Ye Qing Xiao would not 'favor' his opponent. He wouldn't give him a good face for his son either.

"Ye Qing Xiao, don't be so arrogant. Your waste of a son is as weak as an ant, occupying a position without doing anything. What's there to be proud of? Bah!" Ye Han Dong's voice was full of intense sarcasm.

Two loud, sharp sounds echoed, and the floor shook. A powerful, chaotic air flow burst out of the room.

Ye Jun Tian saw two black shadows being thrown out, naturally, his father had acted, throwing Ye Han Dong and Ye Xin out.

His father was an extremely high-level 'Human Martial Realm' expert, while Ye Han Dong was just a high-level 'Human Martial Realm' expert, naturally not a match for his father. As a result, the two were thrown out like balls, rolling on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

At the same time, a burlap bag was also thrown out, and the herbs inside scattered everywhere, almost burying Ye Han Dong and his son in the pile of herbs.

"Hehe, how does it feel to roll on the ground?" Ye Jun Tian stood in the courtyard, looking at the embarrassed Ye Han Dong and his son with a mocking smile.

"Ye Jun Tian, even without a spot, I can still become the top preparatory disciple. Then, I will gain the qualification to challenge for the Wood-level disciple. At that time, I will use my fists to tell you that you are a waste, a disgrace to the Ye family, a pile of dog shit, stinking to high heaven." Ye Xin jumped up from the ground, glaring at Ye Jun Tian with intense hatred. Because, without a spot, he could only fight his way up from the preparatory disciples.

While Ye Jun Tian didn't have to do that, he could directly enter the final round to challenge for the Wood-level disciple. Without a spot, the family disciples had to go through multiple rounds of battles to enter the final round. This was the reason Ye Han Dong came to ask for a spot.

"Ye Xin, when did your mouth turn into a toilet?" Ye Jun Tian sneered.

"Waste, how dare you call my mouth a toilet?" Ye Xin was almost enraged, cursing loudly.

"Not really, your mouth isn't a toilet," Ye Jun Tian smiled.

"Bullshit, then what is it?" Ye Xin seemed determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Calling it a toilet is too much of an honor for you. Your rotten mouth can only be called a stinking stone in a toilet," Ye Jun Tian laughed.

"I'll kill you!" Ye Xin was furious and raised his fist to attack.

"Are you not going to get lost? Do you want to take a few more punches?" Ye Qing Xiao's cold voice came from inside the room.

"Ye Qing Xiao, you won't last long. This mansion will be mine, we'll see who wins in the end!" Ye Han Dong, not wanting to lose face, immediately pulled his son, leaving the herbs on the ground, and left in a huff.

"Jun Tian, why don't you skip the competition tomorrow and give the spot to Ye Jun? Although Ye Jun's bloodline test only reached the C-level, he has at least entered the first level of the 'Pulse Vibration Realm'," Ye Qing Xiao said with a gloomy face as they entered the room.

"Father, I'm only thirteen and don't meet the qualification. Let Brother go. Even if he is eliminated, it will at least give him some martial experience and prepare for the next bloodline energy challenge," Ye Jun shook his head like a tambourine.

In fact, Ye Jun Tian knew his brother was letting him go. The family didn't have a rule about the age to participate in the disciple level selection. As long as you entered the 'Pulse Vibration Realm', you could participate. The younger you were, the higher your bloodline vibration talent.

"I'll go tomorrow!" Ye Jun Tian unexpectedly took the initiative, which made the old man Ye Qing Xiao pause. Because, last year, Ye Jun Tian had always pushed for Ye Jun to go, and he didn't expect him to change his mind today. This seemed a bit unusual.

"Have you thought it through? The result, sigh..." Ye Qing Xiao sighed, looking depressed.

"I've thought it through, don't worry. I am your son, Ye Qing Xiao." Ye Jun Tian was surprisingly calm and composed, which made Ye Qing Xiao pause again.

In previous years, his son would always be restless before the competition, naturally due to a lack of confidence. Could it be that this kid had decided to give up, so he didn't care anymore? A hint of sadness flashed in Ye Qing Xiao's heart.

"Alright, you are my son, Ye Qing Xiao. Even if you lose, lose with style!" Ye Qing Xiao slammed his fist on the table.
