Chapter 4

Zheng Shan just wanted to throw out a few harsh words, but he never expected Zheng Shi Yi to charge at him with such speed.

Only at this moment did Zheng Shan suddenly remember that the Zheng Shi Yi before his cultivation was stripped away was once a very sharp person! His cultivation might have been stripped, but his sharpness remained! Now, with his combat power suddenly surging, the sharpness hidden beneath the scrap had once again blossomed!

Not good! Knowing he couldn't dodge this attack, Zheng Shan suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest in a cross-shield, preparing to resist the blow.

Just as his arms crossed, a gust of wind suddenly brushed past his ears, and then, an old hand suddenly reached out from behind him!

"You little beast! How dare you hurt someone!" The domineering and angry shout erupted along with the suddenly appearing hand!

Not good! Zheng Shi Yi pulled back his elbows, also crossing his arms in a cross-shield, and with a burst of strength from his legs, he retreated rapidly, the wind generated by the palm pressure pushing him back at high speed. At the same time, he observed the suddenly appearing enemy.

Zheng Shi Yi looked at the old man who had pushed him back, with triangular eyes and a beard curved like a bow covering his entire mouth, and immediately sneered. It was Zheng Shan's grandfather! The third elder of the Zheng family, Zheng Xuan!

This old man, relying on his position as an elder in the family, had done no shortage of heinous deeds.

Zheng Shan's repeated provocations were likely instigated by him.

Even though he had been pushed back several meters, Zheng Shi Yi still didn't want to let go. He shouted, "Waste, you still want to hurt someone!"

Carrying a pressure that could collapse the heavens and earth, the force rushed toward Zheng Shi Yi with a "rustling" sound.

The howling wind almost made people suffocate.

Not good! Can't dodge! This old bastard! Zheng Shi Yi cursed furiously in his heart, instantly greeting all the women of the Zheng Xuan line!

Just as he thought he was about to be hit, a domineering voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Zheng Xuan! You're really regressing! Attacking Zheng Shi Yi? Why don't you go rob children of their lollipops on the street?"

Then, the owner of the voice appeared beside Zheng Shi Yi, pushing back the attacking Zheng Xuan with a palm. The strong wind generated by the two powerful palm forces made it hard for Zheng Shi Yi to open his eyes.

Looking at the fourth elder standing beside him, with a kind face and bright eyes, Zheng Shi Yi respectfully greeted, "Fourth Elder."

After his martial soul was taken away, the only elder who still protected him was the fourth elder, Zheng Hong!

The fourth elder Zheng Hong smiled kindly at Zheng Shi Yi and nodded gently, saying, "It seems you can cultivate again? Great! You truly are a true iron-blooded genius of our Zheng family!"

"Zheng Hong, get out of my way!"

Seeing that the person who pushed him back was Zheng Hong, Zheng Xuan's brows suddenly shot up.

Zheng Hong, protecting Zheng Shi Yi behind him, said, "Third Elder, you're so domineering! When Zudì Zheng Tian Yu came to attack, why didn't you show your might then?"

Zheng Xuan's face immediately fell. It was his grandson who had tipped off the news, leading to Zheng Tian Yu's arrival! Now, Zheng Hong's words were a direct slap in the face.

"The matters of Zudì are not my concern!" Zheng Xuan said sternly, "This waste, even after his martial soul was taken, is still so arrogant, causing trouble everywhere, almost injuring my grandson Zheng Shan! If I don't give him a lesson today, he might one day ride on my neck and cause trouble! Move out of my way!"

Zheng Shi Yi, hearing this, felt a surge of anger. He stepped forward and shouted, "You Zheng Xuan line is really shameless! Your grandson Zheng Song betrayed me by revealing my supreme divine soul first, and then you come out to accuse me of causing trouble! Your Zheng Xuan line is really something!"

"For the past year, I have been obedient, focusing on cultivation! I haven't provoked anyone! Zheng Shan has come to trouble me several times!"

"Is it not arrogant and trouble-making if I don't dodge or fight back when he attacks me?"

"When he was hitting and cursing me, why didn't you step in? Now that he can't beat me, you step in to help. Is this your style as an elder?"

"You keep calling me a waste, but isn't your behavior wasteful? Even if I can't beat someone, I won't call for help, unlike your precious grandson!"

"Bullying the weak, only you, Zheng Xuan, can do this in the entire family! When the children in the city had their candies stolen, was it you?"

Zheng Xuan, after being scolded by Zheng Shi Yi, his face turned increasingly red with anger, but he couldn't find a reason to counter. He could only shout in anger, "You sharp-tongued waste! I must teach you a lesson today!"

Zheng Hong quickly protected Zheng Shi Yi behind him and countered, "Zheng Xuan, I saw everything just now. It was clearly Zheng Shan who started the trouble, and being outmatched, he was pushed back by Zheng Shi Yi."

"Your actions now, even if the family head tries to smooth things over, he won't support you!"

Zheng Xuan's lips twitched, wishing he could immediately break Zheng Shi Yi's limbs!

But he knew that today he was in the wrong. If he got into a conflict with Zheng Hong, it would alert others, and he wouldn't gain any advantage, and might even suffer due to Zheng Shi Yi's sharp tongue.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Xuan could only say, "Zheng Hong, Zheng Shi Yi, I won't let this go today!"

Then, he turned around, kicked Zheng Shan's buttocks hard twice, making Zheng Shan kneel on the ground, and said unhappily, "Can't even beat a waste, what are you still standing here for? Go back and cultivate!"

Zheng Shan got up from the ground, brushing the dust off his knees, and glared at Zheng Shi Yi with hatred, saying, "Yes, Grandfather!"

Then, the two left.

Zheng Hong, watching the two leave, happily patted Zheng Shi Yi's shoulder and reminded him, "Feng'er, since you can cultivate again, you must advance vigorously! Besides cultivating, you must also be careful of the Zheng Xuan family."

"Okay." Zheng Shi Yi nodded, said goodbye to Zheng Hong, and walked toward the family direction.

For a year, his cultivation had been stuck at the first level of the Qi Wheel Realm, making him worry about the upcoming family test.

Now, it's different. His cultivation has already advanced to the third level of the Qi Wheel Realm. Participating in the family assessment, he won't be relegated to the lower ranks.

But! Not being relegated? That's far from enough! Zheng Shi Yi looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, I will reclaim everything that belongs to me! This time, I will be the first in the competition, I will enter the Xuanming Sect, I will cultivate more advanced martial techniques there, and obtain the highest-level internal cultivation methods! I will go to Zudì and defeat Zheng Tian Yu, who stole my divine soul!

At this rate, it won't take a few days to reach the fifth level of the Qi Wheel Realm.

In five days! In five days! The family competition will begin!

I must cultivate crazily in the next few days to reach the fifth level of the Qi Wheel Realm before the competition, to have a chance to reclaim what belongs to me.

Back home, seeing no one in his parents' room, Zheng Shi Yi sighed again. According to the elder, his parents' combat power was very strong. If they were in the family, my supreme divine soul wouldn't have been stolen! But for some reason, they left the family shortly after I was born, saying they were going to find foundational spirit medicines for me.

"Father, Mother! Where are you?" Zheng Shi Yi frowned, looking at his room, "Do you know? I don't need any foundational spirit medicines. I just want you to be by my side! I don't want you to risk your lives to find spirit medicines for me..."

In a secret room of the Zheng family.

"Second Brother, I just went to trouble Zheng Shi Yi. I found that this guy has taken the Pulse Burning Pill. Is he going to participate in the family competition?"

Zheng Shan, with a pale face, knelt on the ground, carefully looking at the young man sitting cross-legged in front of him, who looked similar to him but had an incomparably proud aura.

The young man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zheng Shan, and a sneer rose to the corner of his mouth, "A toad in a prince's clothes is still ugly."

"This waste, even after taking the Pulse Burning Pill, is still a waste."

"After the family competition, I will enter the Xuanming Sect and meet up with Big Brother."

"As for you, don't waste time on that waste. Focus on cultivation and strive to enter the Xuanming Sect after next year's family competition. Then we will be three geniuses from the same family!"

"Yes, Second Brother!" Zheng Shan sighed in his heart, thinking that his second brother would stand up for him, but...

...

Surging spiritual energy continuously impacted Zheng Shi Yi's body.

More meridians were being continuously opened up by the spiritual energy, and some of the fine impurities in his body were being expelled through breathing.

Zheng Shi Yi felt that the soul seed in his body had been jumping more actively over the past two days.

Through observation over the past few days, he discovered that the soul seed was not one but two!

This type of martial soul is called a dual martial soul!

Ordinary people have only one martial soul, but he had two martial souls.

He knew that it must be because he once had a supreme divine soul that he now had a dual martial soul!

And he firmly believed that the dual martial soul in his body would certainly be a supreme divine soul!

Not letting this joy cloud his mind, he continued to cultivate day and night.

"Fourth level of the Qi Wheel Realm!"

"Fifth level of the Qi Wheel Realm!"

The night before the family competition, he smoothly broke through to the fourth level of the Qi Wheel Realm and entered the fifth level. The Thunder Fist could now unleash the explosive force of seven thunderclaps.

With the cultivation of the fifth level of the Qi Wheel Realm, combined with the power of the Thunder Fist's seven thunderclaps, he could even take on a sixth-level Qi Wheel Realm opponent!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Zheng Shi Yi, sitting cross-legged, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Then he heard Tang Wanxue's voice asking, "Brother Zheng Shi Yi, can I come in?"

"Come in!" Zheng Shi Yi got off the bed.

Tang Wanxue, who pushed the door open, was wearing a bright red robe.

Her graceful figure was tightly bound by the red robe, creating a captivating beauty.

Her jet-black hair, wet and dripping, hung over her shoulders, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Her cherry-like lips, slightly open and closed, released a sweet scent.

From a distance, she looked like a celestial being descended to earth.
