Qingyun City, Ye Family training grounds.
The cold wind howled, making the leaves rustle loudly.
"Ye Cangtian, have you no shame? You're the eldest son of the Ye Family, yet after three years you still haven't broken through to the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. You're a disgrace to the entire Ye Family!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes: Ye Cangtian's second uncle, Ye Batian.
The contempt on the faces of the surrounding clansmen was plain to see.
"I heard the Lin family's young lady is coming to break off the engagement today. This is going to be humiliating."
"Hmph, a good-for-nothing is a good-for-nothing. Give him ten years, and he'll still amount to nothing."
Ye Cangtian stood in the middle of the crowd, his face pale and his fists clenched. Before the soul from Earth awakened within him, the original owner had been unable to bear this pressure and had collapsed after coughing up blood.
"Break off the engagement?"
Suddenly, Ye Cangtian raised his head. His eyes, once clouded, now flashed with brilliance, and a mocking smile curled his lips.
"Second Uncle, who did you call a good-for-nothing?"
Ye Batian froze. Why had this good-for-nothing's presence suddenly changed?
Ye Cangtian took a step forward, and a thunderous series of bone-cracking sounds rang out from within him.
"Crack!"
The shackles of the Meridian-Locking Powder shattered in an instant!
A powerful aura shot into the sky, breaking through the fourth and fifth levels of the Body Tempering Realm... until it reached the peak of the seventh level!
The entire arena fell silent.
Looking at the stunned crowd, Ye Cangtian sneered. "Since you all like to play games, I'll play along. In this round, I'm betting the entire future of the Ye Family." My new work is out! Come read it on Tomato Novel. I hope you enjoy it. Your support inspires me to write, and I'll do my best to tell this story well.
