Peng Yue'er was aggressive, and Ye Nantian was furious, his face turning red as he shouted, "Yue'er, don't forget that the Overlord was once your childhood friend. How can you insult him like this now?"
"I am just speaking the truth."
Peng Yue'er glanced at Ye Yang with disdain, seemingly unwilling to even look at him for a moment longer.
At that moment, the leader of the Fire God Clan, Peng Feng, stood up majestically. His voice was deep and powerful as he said calmly, "Yue'er, no matter what, the head of the Ye Family is your uncle. You must not be so disrespectful!"
Peng Yue'er nodded with a smile, "Yes, father!"
The father and daughter were clearly just putting on a show for the Ye Family.
Peng Feng's gaze fell on Ye Yang, and suddenly his aura surged. An invisible pressure descended upon Ye Yang, making him feel an immense sense of oppression as if a mountain were pressing down on him.
"What's happening?!"
Ye Yang was secretly alarmed. He clenched his fists and stood motionless by the screen, his deep gaze fixed on Peng Feng, filled with determination and resolve. He refused to yield, feeling as if his body might shatter under the strain. Pain radiated from every joint; it turned out that the legends were true—top experts could kill simply with their aura!
Peng Feng was also secretly shocked. It was well-known that Ye Nantian's only son was unskilled and lazy in pursuit of pleasure, but today he discovered that this young man was surprisingly resolute. The proud and defiant look in his eyes even distracted him.
"Hmph!"
Peng Feng turned gracefully, and a fierce gust of wind erupted from his sleeve, crashing into Ye Yang's chest. Instantly, it felt as though a knife had sliced through him; blood surged up to his throat. He gritted his teeth and did not utter a sound, only a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Having taken advantage of the situation, Peng Feng struck silently, unnoticed even by Ye Nantian. After all, Ye Nantian only had fifth-level strength while Peng Feng was at ninth level—a difference of four levels that was almost like heaven and earth!
Ye Yang coldly stared at Peng Feng, while Peng Yue'er noticed the blood at the corner of Ye Yang's mouth and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. It seemed she realized that this young man was vastly different from the debauched playboy he had been in the past.
“Zi Yu, you…”
Ye Nantian felt an overwhelming pain in his heart upon seeing his son injured. Ignoring the disparity in strength, he furiously swung his palm, unleashing a chilling Fire God True Qi towards Peng Feng's head.
“Bang!”
The chair shattered into pieces, reduced to charred remnants, but Peng Feng had long vanished. When Ye Nantian came to his senses, he realized that Peng Feng was already behind him, an invisible pressure enveloping him. It could be said that killing him would be a mere gesture for Peng Feng.
“Nantian, why are you still so impulsive?”
Peng Feng stood with his hands behind his back and smiled, “Your son is still so frail and sickly, coughing up blood. Hmph, such a constitution cannot withstand the overwhelming Fire God True Qi. Well then, I will take the Radiant Sun Battle Axe; perhaps this divine weapon will serve better in my daughter Yue'er's hands. What do you think?”
Ye Nantian trembled with rage and spoke each word clearly, “Unless I die, you will not take the Battle Axe Radiance within six months. Peng Feng, if you have the guts, kill me here and see how you escape the world's scrutiny. Hmph, the dignified Fire God Clan head actually intends to kill a fellow clansman for his own divine weapon!”
Peng Feng's expression fluctuated between greed and contemplation. Finally, he shook his head, “Since you refuse to hand over Radiant Sun, then let it remain with the Ye Family for another six months. I want to see how you can use Radiant Sun to teach this boy the Fire God Technique!”
“Hmph!”
Ye Nantian coldly replied, “Show yourself out!”
Peng Feng waved his sleeve and gracefully exited the Ye Family Mansion. Meanwhile, Peng Yue'er turned around and shot a resentful glare at Ye Yang, cursing, “Useless! Do you only know how to hide behind your father? Just wait; at the family’s new talent competition in two months, I will make you regret it!”
Ye Yang frowned; why did this beautiful woman harbor such hatred towards him?
“Zi Yu, are you alright?”
Ye Nantian suddenly embraced Ye Yang, checking his injuries. Tears streamed down his face as he trembled and said, “It’s all my fault for being useless; I let you suffer such humiliation!”
Ye Yang, being an orphan, felt paternal love for the first time and couldn't help but smile as he replied, "It's nothing, Dad. Ye Yang is no longer the old Ye Batian. I will work hard to cultivate the Fire God Technique, for myself and for the Ye Family!"
However, the underlying message in Ye Yang's heart was different: "For survival, for dreams—wealth and beautiful women."
Of course, Ye Nantian was unaware of this and simply embraced Ye Yang, tears streaming down his face as he said, "Yes, good son!"
...
That night, Ye Yang sat in the secret chamber with one arm resting on the Battle Axe Radiance. The burning sensation drove him mad as a large amount of fiery elements surged into his arm, rapidly stimulating the Fire God True Qi within him. It seemed that this was the effect of the Battle Axe Radiance.
Beside him lay the Fire God Technique. In fact, the Fire God Technique had no specific moves; it was merely a method for cultivating True Qi. In this world filled with Martial Arts Manuals and elements, True Qi was akin to strength. When a person's strength was sufficient, their power would naturally increase; strength was the foundation of all techniques!
Before he knew it, a night had passed. The next morning, Ye Nantian entered the secret chamber and found Ye Yang still cultivating. He called out, "Zi Yu, it's time for breakfast!"
Ye Yang was lost in his own world, enjoying the bath of fiery elements and Fire God True Qi, completely oblivious to his father's call.
Ye Nantian approached and reached out to nudge his son's arm but was suddenly knocked back by a powerful surge of Fire God True Qi, crashing against the wall with a thud before falling to the ground.
"What... how is this possible?"
Ye Nantian was both astonished and delighted. He was surprised that Ye Yang could possess such formidable True Qi and thrilled that his son had such great power!
Ye Yang slowly came to his senses and noticed Ye Nantian lying on the ground. He couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what happened to you?"
Ye Nantian nodded repeatedly and laughed heartily, "It's nothing, son. It's time for breakfast. Did you really cultivate all night?"
"Yes."
Ye Yang stood up, and his entire demeanor seemed to change. He was unaware of what had happened to his body, but he felt an unprecedented strength within him. As he swung his fists, flames erupted from his movements; with a full-force punch, even a robust old bull would likely be killed in one blow.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Nantian brought over a long sword and said, "This sword was found on your bed. It was there when you woke up. It's quite strange. Did you buy this sword before you fell ill?"
Ye Yang was taken aback; the sword looked familiar—it was the very sword that had killed him!
"Uh... yes, I bought it!"
Ye Yang quickly covered up and then took the long sword. With a clang, he drew it out, only to find that the sword was dull and covered in rust, except for the two characters "Haotian" engraved on the blade.
He pondered that he had been killed by this sword and sent back here. According to his inquiries, this was already during the period of the Ancient Qin Empire over two thousand years ago. This sword must have some secrets; regardless, keeping it close would not be a bad thing!
Thus, Ye Yang returned to the secret chamber with the Haotian Sword and continued his cultivation.
Closing his eyes, he saw a sky full of stars—fiery red stars—representing the fire elements present on earth, which were also the source of power for the Fire God Clan's Martial Arts Manual!
Immersed in the ocean of Fire Element, Ye Yang seemed to be asleep but remained mentally alert. He understood that he had arrived in another dimension, separated from his original world by over two thousand years. That world had been one where the Qin State unified everything after the Seven Kingdoms contended for supremacy. However, this world was filled with magical sects such as Martial Arts Manuals, spells, and star techniques, with the Fire God Clan's Fire God Technique being one of them.
If he wanted to return to his original world, there was only one path: survive, grow stronger, and find a way back!
Time flew by quickly; in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Ye Yang had been training alongside Battle Axe Radiance. The Fire God True Qi within him grew increasingly robust, astonishing both Ye Yang and Ye Nantian. After a month of cultivation, Ye Yang's Fire God Power was surprisingly on par with Ye Nantian's strength, leading Ye Nantian to believe that his son was an extraordinary genius.
Despite possessing powerful Fire God True Qi, Ye Yang felt somewhat regretful for lacking a Martial Arts Manual to learn from.
One morning, instead of going back to the secret chamber, Ye Yang donned a set of sharp-looking blue attire. He appeared majestic and upright; his muscles had grown even more robust through training with Fire God Power. He also equipped himself with a scabbard for the Haotian Sword, which he carried on his back. His entire demeanor transformed; he no longer resembled a spoiled young master but rather looked like a young hero who roamed the world righting wrongs.
Holding two large silver ingots worth a total of 100 taels, this was the expense that Ye Nantian had given him.
Today, Ye Yang finally stepped out of the Ye Family's gate because he needed to buy two Martial Arts Manuals to improve his combat skills; otherwise, having the Fire God True Qi would be useless.
Ye Nantian's words seemed to linger in his ears: "Son, after a month, during the family martial arts competition for the younger generation, you should not participate. That Peng Yue'er will come after you!"
Thinking of this, Ye Yang smiled calmly. Peng Yue'er? The family's talented young woman? Just wait; a month from now, he might not lose to her!
Of course, all of this depended on learning practical Martial Arts Manuals. Ye Nantian originally intended to pass on the Blazing Palm Technique to Ye Yang but was rejected. Ye Nantian became famous with the Blazing Palm Technique, and the Peng Family was too familiar with this technique. If he encountered Peng Yue'er in battle, he would likely suffer a disadvantage!
Striding into the bustling marketplace, Liang City was prosperous and populous, and the market was exceptionally lively.
The Martial Arts Emporium, the largest place for weapons, Martial Arts Manuals, and spiritual herbs in Liang City, was precisely where Ye Yang aimed to go.
The moment he stepped into the Martial Arts Emporium, Ye Yang felt a powerful aura permeating the space; clearly, those who frequented the Martial Arts Emporium were not ordinary individuals.
Two muscular men walked towards him. The attendant beside Ye Yang immediately lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, those two are the Wufeng Twin Demons. They possess Earth Level Four strength and are the guardians of the Martial Arts Emporium. Look, they have four gold stars on their chests; that is certification from various martial arts schools!"
"Oh? Level Four strength gets four stars?" Ye Yang couldn't help but smile.
"Yes." The attendant looked somewhat fearful and said, "Young Master, let's not provoke these people. Aren't you here to buy Martial Arts Manuals? Follow me; I know a shop where high-level Martial Arts Manuals are often available for sale."
"Alright!"
Under the attendant's guidance, Ye Yang arrived at a shop at the end of the street. He saw rows of pale yellow books displayed on the shelves, all uniformly yellow in color.
"Ah, it's Young Master Ye! What brings you here?" The chubby Boss seemed to recognize Ye Yang.
Ye Yang asked, "Why are all the Martial Arts Manuals here yellow?"
"Haha, it's because they are all Yellow Rank Martial Arts Manuals!"
The Boss looked at the shelves and said, "Recently, this is the only grade of Martial Arts Manual we can get. There's no way around it; those strong practitioners are simply unwilling to share their unique skills with others!"
Seeing Ye Yang's confused expression, the servant quickly whispered, "Martial Arts Manuals are divided into four grades: Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, and Yellow. Among them, the Heavenly Level Martial Arts Manual is the strongest, while the Yellow Rank is the weakest. In a place like the Martial Arts Emporium, only low-level Yellow Rank Martial Arts Manuals can be sold. Moreover, many of them are just inferior techniques written by people who mislead others!"
Ye Yang nodded and focused on two of the Yellow Rank Martial Arts Manuals:
【Wind Slash Technique】: Yellow Rank Intermediate
【Barrier Wall】: Yellow Rank Beginner
...
Ye Yang bent down and picked up the two Martial Arts Manuals, asking, "Boss, how much for each?"
The Boss held up two fingers: "Fixed price, 10 taels of silver each!"
Ye Yang glanced at the servant for confirmation. The servant nodded, indicating that the price was reasonable. So he paid and took the Martial Arts Manuals.
After leaving the Martial Arts Emporium, Ye Yang hurried home with his lunch and entered the secret chamber to begin his training.
The first technique he practiced was Barrier Wall. This was a basic skill that used one's True Qi to form a barrier outside the body to resist attacks from others—essentially a fundamental defensive move.
Ye Yang was naturally gifted and became proficient in Barrier Wall in just three days. With a light shout, he could condense a flame Barrier Wall about 10 centimeters from his body. However, Ye Yang was still not satisfied with this level of strength. As he deepened his understanding of Fire God Power, he gradually increased the distance of Barrier Wall from his body to about one meter.
Ye Nantian was very confused and asked, "Zi Yu, the Barrier Wall is originally a defensive Martial Arts Manual. Why do you need to push it away from your body?"
Ye Yang smiled and said, "No one dictates that this must be a defensive Martial Arts Manual; it's just a misconception of the world."
"Oh?"
Ye Nantian felt deeply puzzled but did not say much more. He had great trust in his son's talent.
...
Ye Yang's thoughts were actually quite simple. The Barrier Wall was a technique for defense and escape, while the Wind Slash Technique was an offensive technique. After learning these two techniques, he would be able to attack and defend, no longer just a fish on the chopping block.
He began practicing the Wind Slash Technique, which was a Martial Arts Manual that paired with a Weapon. It involved infusing True Qi into the Weapon, slicing fiercely to force the True Qi out and transform it into sword energy to strike at the target ahead.
It sounded simple, but it was very difficult in practice. Ye Yang spent a full ten days before he could force the True Qi out of the Weapon and condense it into sword energy.
