Body Refining First Layer to Second Layer, three days!
Second Layer of Body Refining to Third Layer, fifteen days!
Ye Lingyue's astonishing breakthrough speed was unparalleled in the Ye Family.
Even Ye Huangyu, the former number one talent of the Ye Family, was dumbfounded when she learned that her daughter had broken through again.
Perhaps her daughter truly had extraordinary talent in martial arts, Ye Huangyu could only answer herself this way.
However, after Ye Lingyue broke through to the Third Layer of Body Refining, according to the promise Ye Huangyu had made earlier, she had to teach her the Ye Family's Basic Martial Arts.
"Da Xia Martial Arts is divided into Nine Tiers, and today I will teach you Thunderclap Fist, which is a Nine Tier Martial Arts, also a unique fist technique created by the Ye Family Ancestor, this set of fists is as powerful as thunder, as swift as lightning, and when mastered, can emit six blue flashes of thunderlight, capable of breaking rocks and jade, hence the name Thunderclap Fist." Ye Huangyu knew that her daughter had long yearned for martial arts.
But the Ye Family Rules stipulated that only upon reaching the Third Layer of Body Refining could one learn Basic Martial Arts, which was why Ye Huangyu waited until today to teach Ye Lingyue.
Nine Tier Martial Arts, Ye Lingyue was just beginning to understand martial arts and didn't care about the grade of martial arts.
She only knew that on that day, when she sparred with Ye Qing, he used the Thunderclap Fist, but at that time, Ye Qing could only emit two flashes of blue light, so his Thunderclap Fist was not yet perfected.
"I will first perform the Thunderclap Fist, make sure to clear all the moves." After Ye Huangyu said this, she swept her sleeve, her back slightly bent, and her feet marked out a set of steps.
Ye Lingyue widened her eyes, intently watching her mother Ye Huangyu without blinking.
At the end of the fist technique, six shadows of thunder moved as swiftly as a gale, and even the air was instantly distorted.
Ye Huangyu's speed was not fast, but after completing a set of fist techniques, Ye Lingyue could only remember half of it.
Ye Huangyu was very patient and performed it again; this time, Ye Lingyue finally memorized the entire set of fist techniques.
"Although Thunderclap Fist is only Nine Tier Martial Arts, if six shadows of thunder can be emitted simultaneously, the resulting force can shatter a large rock. Since you are just beginning, once you memorize the complete fist technique, it will not be..." Ye Huangyu retracted her fist posture, she had just finished speaking.
Ye Lingyue's feet slid, her eyes bright and spirited, she slowly imitated the fist technique just shown by Ye Huangyu, and when it came to the final punch, a swoosh was heard as a blue shadow burst from her fist.
The blue shadow lasted only for a short breath, but it was indeed the blue shadow of the Thunderclap Fist.
"Only one," Ye Lingyue pouted, dissatisfied with herself.
Even someone like Ye Qing could produce two shadows, and she could only produce one.
Ye Huangyu was speechless.
To produce one flash of thunderlight from the first practice of the Thunderclap Fist, the surprises her daughter brought after becoming smarter were simply too many.
"More haste, less speed, with more practice you will naturally emit more thunderlight," Ye Huangyu was amused and helpless.
And so, the mother and daughter, one practicing and the other guiding, unknowingly, the sky darkened.
Only when a second flash of thunderlight flickered through the night did the mother and daughter enter the house laughing and talking.
Not far away, Ye Gu watched the mother and daughter, his face solemn.
The sky was just dawning with light.
Outside North Manor, shadows flickered.
A fierce wind of fists was heard, and in the morning light, four blue shadows of thunder, swish swish swish swish, landed on an old tree, the trunk immediately turned pitch black.
"Finally produced four shadows of thunder, but there's still a considerable gap to produce six," Ye Lingyue wiped the sweat from her forehead.
After several days of practice, her Thunderclap Fist was finally making some progress.
After dawn, Ye Yinsuang, as usual, came to find Ye Lingyue to go to the Martial Hall together.
"Ling Yue, your skin is so good, the two of us train under the scorching sun, so why don't you get tanned at all?" Ye Yinsuang looked at Ye Lingyue's increasingly radiant appearance, filled with envy.
Yin Shuang was fifteen this year as well, at this age, girls start to care about their appearance.
She had good features, but having trained at the Martial Hall since childhood under the scorching sun, her skin got darker and darker, like a piece of coal, and for this, she was often mocked by several siblings in the Ye Family.
"I usually bathe with this medicinal grass juice, maybe it's because of the medicinal grass. If you like it, you can take some and try it," Ye Lingyue smiled gently. Ye Yinsuang treated her well, so giving her a diluted bottle of Gathering Essence Liquid was nothing.
Ye Yinsuang accepted it with a smile.
The two walked together to the front of the Martial Hall, and as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Ye Qing with a few others blocking the doorway.
"Ye Lingyue, do you have a lion's heart and leopard courage to dare come to the Martial Hall?" Ye Qing had his arms broken by Ye Huangyu and recuperated at home for half a month.
As soon as he recovered, the first thing he did upon returning to the Martial Hall was to settle the score with Ye Lingyue.
"Sister Ling Yue is the daughter of Third Aunt, she's also a Ye, why can't she come to the Martial Hall," Ye Yinsuang stood akimbo, ready to scold.
"What kind of Ye Family member is she, she was just a little wretch driven out by the Hong Residence," Ye Qing laughed loudly.
"Oh, Ye Qing," Ye Yinsuang, who had long considered Ling Yue a good friend, was riled up by her sense of justice and was infuriated by Ye Qing's words, she charged forward.
Her body seemed coated in a layer of bronze light, the sign of the Third Layer of Body Refining.
But Ye Qing was unhurried, he chuckled coldly twice, suddenly his bones trembled, his back issuing a crackling sound of bones stretching, his arms like iron rods smashing towards Yinsuang.
Arms like iron, iron bones ringing, a manifestation of the Fourth Layer of Body Refining.
No wonder Ye Qing was so fearless, it turned out that during this half-month convalescence, Ye Huancheng had given him plenty of spiritual medicine, making him benefit from the disaster, suddenly breaking through from the Third to the Fourth Layer of Body Refining.
"Fourth Layer of Body Refining!"
The Fourth Layer of Body Refining, in terms of strength, Ye Qing was clearly overpowering Ye Yinsuang.
Ye Yinsuang sensed something bad, but it was too late to retreat.
Just as Ye Qing's arms were about to smash into Yinsuang, two blue shadows swept past Yinsuang, striking at Ye Qing.
"Thunderclap Fist."
The two blue shadows moved like a thunder flash across the land, forming great force, Ye Qing's arms tingled, and he took a step back, shocked.
The situation, initially in Ye Qing's favor, suddenly changed, astonishing everyone who immediately looked in the direction from which the blue shadows came.
Ye Qing focused his gaze, seeing the punch was thrown by Ye Lingyue.
"Ye Lingyue, how dare you steal the Ye Family Martial Arts, I'm going to tell grandfather," Ye Qing's arms were burned by the Thunderclap Fist.
Yet instead of anger, he was pleased, for the Ye Family Rules stated that only upon reaching the Third Layer of Body Refining could one train in Basic Martial Arts. Ye Lingyue had been in the Martial Hall for less than a month, and she, at merely the First Layer of Body Refining, was using the Thunderclap Fist. Obviously, Ye Huangyu was secretly teaching her.
Good Ye Huangyu, the previous accounts had yet to be settled, and this time, she violated the family rules again.
This time, he was determined to get this useless mother and daughter kicked out of the Ye Family.
"Ye Qing, besides complaining to our grandfather and your father, what else can you do? My mother taught me the Thunderclap Fist openly and honestly, without breaking the family rules," Ye Lingyue stated sternly.
"You're lying, unless you've reached the Third Layer of Body Refining, there's no way you could learn the Thunderclap Fist," Ye Qing was furious.
"If you can break through to the Fourth Layer of Body Refining, why can't I break through to the Third Layer?" Ye Lingyue smirked slightly, and her look at Ye Qing was as if she were gazing at an idiot.
