Of course, merely reaching the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer would not be enough for him to achieve great results in the Coming of Age Ceremony.
Right now, he had no martial skills to use.
Martial skills are essential means for martial artists to fight against enemies. A powerful martial skill is usually a necessary condition for defeating an opponent. The Yang family has the Wuji Pavilion as a collection of martial skills, and many of the Yang family members possess powerful martial skills.
Although these martial skills have their strong points, in general, if he were to participate in the Coming of Age Ceremony without any martial skills, he might be defeated by a genius in the Body Refining Realm Third Layer, who possessed martial skills.
“There’s still enough time, about two months left. I’ll use these two months to cultivate martial skills,” thought Yang Chen.
In his previous life’s memory, he naturally had a lot of martial skills.
Once these martial skills were revealed, not only in the Great Wilderness but also in the entire North Mountain County, blood would be shed all over.
That was the key.
These martial skills weren’t something he could cultivate at his current stage, and he didn’t have many suitable for the Body Refining Realm. Selecting an appropriate one without being too dazzling and frightening others was truly a matter worth pondering.
After all, he couldn’t guarantee if anyone would target him because of his exquisite martial skills.
With this in mind, Yang Chen muttered to himself, “It seems I need to make another trip to the Wuji Pavilion.”
Wuji Pavilion, where the Yang family’s martial skills were stored.
Yang Chen’s memory of it wasn’t fresh, but finding this place wasn’t difficult.
“Elder Yang Si, I’m here to enter the Wuji Pavilion and browse through some martial skills,” said Yang Chen respectfully to the white-bearded old man in the pavilion.
This white-bearded elder was one of the nine elders of the Yang family, known as Elder Yang Si, a Fourth Elder, and held an equal status with Elder Yang. He was in charge of the Wuji Pavilion’s martial skills and had a position just below the Yang family’s Grand Elder and Clan Leader.
Yang Siye was originally meditating with his eyes closed, but now he opened his eyes upon hearing the sound. He sneered when he saw it was Yang Chen, “Yang Chen, is it you?”
“Indeed, it is me,” said Yang Chen with an awkward expression on his face.
It seemed that his reputation in front of Elder Yang Si was just as bad.
Otherwise, he didn’t think someone with a much higher status like the Fourth Elder would remember him.
Seeing that it was Yang Chen, Elder Yang Si spoke in a stiff tone, “Yang Chen, aren’t you unable to cultivate martial arts? Why are you here at the Wuji Pavilion?”
Yang Chen replied, “Elder Yang Si, who told you that I can’t cultivate martial arts?”
“Everyone in the Yang family knows about this matter. Alright, don’t waste my time. If there’s nothing else, just leave,” said Elder Yang Si expressionlessly. However, he didn’t sound too harsh thanks to his seniority.
Nevertheless, this sense of contempt still made Yang Chen quite unhappy.
He was determined to visit the Wuji Pavilion to review martial skills today, and he wouldn’t back down because of some setbacks.
Seeing that Elder Yang Si didn’t take him seriously, Yang Chen’s face turned solemn, and he threw a punch with full force. A loud thud followed.
The next moment, dust flew up, and the lion stone statue on the Wuji Pavilion’s door trembled. A piece of its ear fell off to the ground with a clatter.
This scene made Elder Yang Si widen his eyes, somewhat in disbelief of the situation before him.
The stone statue was made of special materials and had extremely strong defense. Without a thousand catties of strength, it was impossible to shake it.
And Yang Chen had just removed an ear from the statue with a casual punch, which meant that his strength had exceeded a thousand catties.
What did a thousand catties of strength represent?
It represented that Yang Chen had at least reached the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer.
“I took the liberty to be bold out of helplessness and wonder if Elder Yang Si has any further guidance on Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation?” Yang Chen said with a respectful bow, not fearing that Yang Siye would be unfair.
Yang Siye was apparently an upright person, and his brows furrowed as his thoughts raced, creating a storm in his heart.
Nevertheless, as a Yang family elder with vast experience, he quickly calmed down and asked with some surprise in his tone, “Yang Chen, which level of the Body Refining Realm have you reached?”
“I have reached the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer,” answered Yang Chen honestly.
Yang Siye paused for a moment, and then murmured, “Indeed, the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer. You’re a good kid, why is your reputation so terrible?”
“Elder Yang Si, rumors stop at wise men. I believe you won’t judge a person based on one-sided rumors,” said Yang Chen with a smile.
“That’s true!” Elder Yang Si stroked his beard and sighed, “It’s me who’s wrong, trying to judge a person from one-sided rumors. At your young age, you’ve reached the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer, which deserves special care from the clan. I’ll report this to the family head.”
What did it mean that Yang Chen reached the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer with this level of cultivation?
It meant that Yang Chen was an absolute genius.contemporary romance
How many thirteen-year-olds in the Yang family were about to reach the adult stage and achieve the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer?
Just two or three at most.
These two or three had long been singled out as the focus of the Yang family’s cultivation efforts. Each of them was carefully chosen and nurtured by the Yang family.
After all, they would become the pillars of the Yang family someday.
He originally thought that there would only be two or three young Yang family members reaching the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer in this generation, but another one with a terrible reputation – Yang Chen – had emerged. The martial arts cultivation he just demonstrated was already approaching the Fifth Level of Body Refining Realm.
“Good kid!” Elder Yang Si couldn’t help but praise.
Yang Chen quickly said, “Elder Yang Si, I want to focus on studying martial skills in the coming days so that I’ll have a self-defense method during the Coming of Age Ceremony. I hope you can keep my martial arts cultivation a secret.”
Elder Yang Si was very clever and immediately understood Yang Chen’s plan to take everyone by surprise. “Good, good, good! Not being complacent and being steady is a good thing!”
Yang Chen smiled slightly. The element of surprise was secondary to what he really wanted. Revealing his strength now would undoubtedly reduce his trump card at the Coming of Age Ceremony.
Only by taking the enemy by surprise can one win a hundred battles.
Elder Yang Si wore a solemn expression while carrying his hands behind his back, “Alright, since you’ve reached the Body Refining Realm Fourth Layer, applying martial skills is indeed vital to you. Feel free to choose any martial skill within the Wuji Pavilion.”
