Chapter 1 YI FAMILY IN HONG CITY

In Hong City, above a hall of mourning of the Yi Family, Yi An was standing quietly with his eyes fixed on the rows of memorial tablets, expressionless and silent. The hall of mourning was very quiet; occasionally, the sound of the swishing wind in the dark night could be heard.

Young Master Yi is thinking about the Master and the Young Lady again. An old woman’s voice arose outside the door.

Yi An listened but offered no reply; his eyes remained motionless, as if he were a statue standing tall in the faint candlelight.

The old woman stopped talking and quietly walked in to put a black coat over his shoulders, and then gently walked out.

Standing before the door, she looked back and let out a sigh.

Poor Young Master, he must have already forgotten what his parents looked like, right?

The old woman thought slightly to herself, her eyes filled with empathy.

Yi An certainly was staring blankly at the spiritual tablets, but his mind was not filled with his biological parents, but with a worn, yellow, velvet cushion beneath the spiritual tablets.

He could clearly remember that when he first arrived in this world, he was lying on that velvet cushion.

Three years; time had flown by, and he had unknowingly been on this continent for three years already.

He remembered that he was a magic cultivator from the Luotian Continent who, due to being hunted by his mortal enemies, had mistakenly entered a chaotic space and, after a life-or-death battle, had luckily arrived on this continent and possessed the body of Yi An, who was on the verge of death at the time.

Sigh...

With a long breath, the faint sound of exhalation broke the silence of the night and relieved the stuffiness in his heart; Yi An’s eyes slowly closed.

Three years ago, Yi An was just a servant, a servant who would be beaten half to death even for worshipping his mother. It was also then that Yi An faced death and crossed over by chance.

It was also then that the Yi An in everyone’s eyes changed.

Yi An’s father, Yi Wenxuan, was originally an extraordinary talent in the family, but he was framed for colluding with outsiders and betraying the Yi Family. Under the pursuit of many, he angrily fled and his whereabouts are still unknown. As for him, it was on that day that his status fell from grace, and a young master became someone even lower than a servant...

He was subject to bullying!

Originally, the elders of the clan wanted him to pay for his father’s life, but fortunately, the patriarch, Yi Tianxing, desperately protected him and allowed him to survive as a servant — to live a life worse than death.

His mother, Ruo Yanran, was also depressed and passed away not long after!

Scenes from the past swirled in his mind once again. At this moment, he felt no anger nor pity; all he had was coldness in his eyes.

What was there that he could not see through?

What did it matter if his status was low?

Three years ago, Yi An began to make an effort; he would no longer be decadent, and he would try to live like a human, to improve his strength, to improve his status...

Everything he had now, he had obtained with his own hands. The large courtyard, although not luxurious, was quite impressive. In the past, the little boy who was ordered around and humiliated by others had now become the young master of the Yi Family and obtained everything he deserved...

Even though he had no parents, no one in the Yi Family dared to look down on him.

Ruthless, vicious, meticulous, resourceful... This was how everyone had come to evaluate him anew over the past three years.

Standing silently, slowly reminiscing, he remained unmoved despite the gusty wind outside blowing the door, creating a rustling sound, and the candlelight inside dancing on the verge of extinguishing.

Standing here had become a habit for him, where no one dared to disturb him, allowing him to keep his eyes slightly closed, continuously pondering in his mind.

Time slowly passed, gradually fading away amidst the howling wind, lightly swept away in the dim candlelight, and in the blink of an eye, the night receded, revealing a streak of dawn in the east.

The sun began to show its face, and the dazzling golden light transformed into thin lines that shot into the hall of mourning.

Another day...

Yi An slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and turned to walk towards his room.

Aunt Chun had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Yi An coming, she quickly bowed and greeted him as Young Master, then stood up to take off the robe behind him and hurriedly went into the room to pour a cup of tea.

Aunt Chun, there’s no need for such formality; just call me Yi An. I can take care of these things myself...

Yi An said with a gentle smile. Aunt Chun was originally a maid of his mother. After his mother died and his father left, she was also implicated and expelled from the family, living a life of begging outside.

Years of hardship had made her face, in her forties, look like that of someone in her sixties or seventies.

After Yi An gained power, he had someone find her and bring her back to stay by his side...

It was, perhaps, to give her a peaceful twilight year.

Hearing Yi An’s words, Aunt Chun quickly shook her head, A servant should follow the rules of servitude. There should be a clear distinction between master and servant. For the young master to say such things is really troubling this old servant.

Yi An gave a wry smile and said no more, as this conversation seemed to occur almost daily, and both seemed tireless of it.

Chapter 2 The Yi Family of Hong City 2

Lifting the cup gently to his lips, Yi An took a sip. Nangshan Golden Fur Peak tea, this tea was light yellow, initially bitter but sweet after, having come to this world, Yi An gradually developed a fondness for this type of tea, much like himself...

After hardship comes sweetness!

It’s like life itself, whether it’s bitter or not is entirely in your hands.

Savoring carefully, Yi An’s eyes slowly narrowed, basking in the dispersion of sunlight, feeling somewhat comfortable. Aunt Chun stood quietly by his side, watching his cultured demeanor, a knowing smile appeared on her face.

Blessed by the young lady in heaven!

A year ago, when she came here, she noticed something different about this young master, completely opposite to the wastefulness of his childhood. Such a significant change, she attributed entirely to the late Ruo Yanran.

Every conversation between them, Yi An’s kindness and the smile typical of a younger generation would always pleasantly surprise her. Every time she thought about it, the smile on her face would deepen, revealing an elder’s warmth.

Just as she was lost in thought, suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside. A servant rushed in, looking somewhat panicked, and upon seeing Yi An, he knelt down and hastily said, Young Master, Young Master, something bad has happened...

Stand up and speak... Yi An waved his hand to interrupt him, What happened?

Young Master Yi Tong has come with several people, saying, saying he wants to...

What does he want? asked Yi An.

He says... This servant was panting, and only after his face turned red was he able to say a sentence, He says he’s going to break the young master’s dog legs!

Oh~~ Yi An chuckled, seemingly amused. He waved his hand, signaling for the servant to step back, and Aunt Chun also tactfully left. He swirled the cup in his hand, murmuring to himself, Break my dog legs?

It’s been ages since I’ve heard that phrase. With a slight force from his right hand, he placed the cup on the table and stood up before walking outside. As soon as his figure disappeared, a crisp sound rang out from the room, a celadon teacup split in half, and the light yellow tea slowly flowed down the table and onto the floor.

Trash, come out here! Don’t make me break your legs today!

As soon as Yi An stepped outside, he heard a roar not far away. A group of five people aggressively charged over, the one in the lead was thin, wearing a brocade robe, and bared his teeth fiercely, giving off a rather menacing vibe. His steps were the largest among them, and judging by his posture, he truly had the urge to tear Yi An to shreds...

Who is this man in a brocade robe, if not Yi Tong?

Looking at him, Yi An merely pursed his lips in disdain, not even bothering to give him a proper look. He stood there, waiting for them to approach.

The conflict between Yi Tong and him dated back to a year ago. By chance, Yi An saw him outside the clan drugging a young girl, intending to force himself on her, so he intervened. The two men had a falling out, and Yi An broke one of his legs.

Afterwards, he held a grudge and repeatedly harassed our Young Master Yi. However, Yi An simply ignored him, so the harassment in the shadows later turned into a duel in broad daylight.

His strength isn’t high, only reaching the fourth level of body refinement. Coming here so boldly to seek revenge now, he must have made some progress!

This continent is known as the Heavenly Martial Continent, where martial prowess is paramount and revered. There are different realms of strength, namely: Body Refinement, Martial Practitioner, Martial Warrior, Martial Teacher, Martial Ancestor, Martial Venerable, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Saint, and Martial Emperor.

The last time Yi Tong challenged Yi An, he was at the third level of body refinement, while our Young Master Yi was at the fourth level. Needless to say, Yi Tong was utterly defeated...

So ignorant to try again now?

Yi An felt somewhat too lazy to even bother. To him, such trash wasn’t worth the effort, even as they approached him. His gaze remained fixed in the distance, as if he hadn’t noticed them at all.

This expression of Yi An ignited a fire of rage in Yi Tong. Having advanced to the fifth level of body refinement today, the first thing he thought was to settle the score with Yi An to avenge the leg injury from before. To humiliate him, Yi Tong even invited a gang of his friends to witness and enjoy the spectacle...

But unexpectedly...

Yi An didn’t give him the slightest bit of acknowledgment, making him lose face in front of his friends. If it weren’t for being within the family’s limits, Yi Tong really felt like slapping him.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Yi Tong sneered and said, Scum, let’s settle both our new and old scores today. I will avenge my broken leg. You should feel lucky you’re not a woman, otherwise, I would have sold you to a brothel just like your mother. But luckily, you’re a man, you can learn from your father and be expelled from the family...

Grinding his teeth, Yi Tong’s eyes showed unspeakable malice. His words even made his friends’ faces change; they all knew that Yi An’s parents were a taboo topic within the family, forbidden to be mentioned, especially not in front of Yi An.

Chapter 3 The Yi Family of Hong City 3

Blinded by rage, Yi Tong gave no thought to the consequences. Were it not for the fact that they belonged to the same family, he would have loved nothing more than to insult Yi An’s ancestors for eighteen generations.

Look at you acting all high and mighty. Remember, you’re just the son of a prostitute, while I am the esteemed young master of the Yi Family. Seeing Yi An’s face turn ugly, Yi Tong felt an indescribable pleasure...

Say that again? Although they were not his real parents, over the past three years, our Demon Youth had already accepted Yi An’s identity. Now, to hear someone insult...

One could imagine the chilling look in his pupils, his expressionless face, as a slow surge of murderous intent began to spread.

What? I came here today looking for trouble, and after today, you will certainly lose a leg!

His boastful voice grew louder, completely oblivious to the murderous gaze. After speaking, he even began to laugh loudly, with his companions joining in, seemingly confident in the outcome. However, they couldn’t help but step back, putting some distance between themselves and Yi Tong.

Oh, really? Yi An suddenly laughed, his smile deepening yet appearing more chilling. Suddenly, he moved, and before Yi Tong could react, a gust of wind swept towards his face...

Slap!

This slap is for my mother!

A crisp sound echoed throughout the courtyard, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze. Everyone’s gaze was fixed mid-air as Yi Tong’s body flew, drawing an arc before crashing to the ground with a thud...

Dirt splattered everywhere!

Almost everyone was rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Yi An, including Aunt Chun.

This, what kind of strength was this?

A moment of shock, Yi Tong is not too bad, at least it is the fifth level of body training, and he can slap him into the air. It is unimaginable that he must be at least five levels higher...

After a long while, there was a commotion among the four, and Yi Tong also came back to his senses, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared at Yi An, regardless of the pain on his face, and said fiercely: You hit me? How dare you hit me? I won’t be called Yi Tong today if I don’t kill you!

After speaking, he was about to stand up, but at this moment, Yi An smiled, his body shook, and he rushed forward suddenly, like a cheetah, invisible in the rustling wind.

Stretching out his right hand, he glanced at him and snorted, This slap is for my father!

Yi An’s voice was cold, like falling into an ice cave, making the listener feel cold. The kind of warbling and whispering sounded exceptionally loud in Yi Tong’s ears. Before he realized the problem, there was a burning pain on his face, and his body It was like a kite with a broken string flying out again.

The first time he was slapped away was anger, but this time...

It was shock!

Thoroughly shocked, he didn’t see Yi An’s figure at all. You must know that he is at the fifth level of body training, and his body is extremely strong, but Yi An still knocked him out...

His strength?

As if thinking of something, a look of disbelief appeared in Yi Tong’s eyes, and a hint of fear was also hidden in it...

Impossible! Lying on the ground, he suddenly shouted. Three months ago, Yi An had just broken through from the fourth level of body training to the fifth level of body training, and his performance just now was obviously much higher than the fifth level...

Yi Tong couldn’t believe it. The four people behind him also looked at Yi An as if they were looking at a monster, stunned.

The fifth level of body training at the age of seventeen is not terrible, but the terrible thing is how long it will take to break through these five levels. Three years ago, Yi An was just a servant, a servant with only the first level of body training, and now three years later, The realm is much more than the fifth floor...

Whew!

The sound of gasping for breath resounded continuously.

Why was Yi An able to transform into a core disciple of the family, because his strength has improved rapidly in the past three years, the fifth level of body training, although not high, but don’t forget, the general family started practicing at the age of five, and those with mediocre talents In At the age of seventeen, he can also reach the fifth level of body training...

It’s easy to say, but difficult to do. As people get older, their bodies gradually take shape, and the cultivation of body training becomes more and more difficult. In the future, it will basically take several months to advance a little...

And Yi An, the first level of body training at fourteen, abruptly spent three years to abruptly rise to the fifth level of body training. Such a speed...

Monster!

This is the evaluation of all the Yi family members on him. If it weren’t for this, how could he become a young master again, live in such a large courtyard, and enjoy the same treatment as the core.

Indeed, Yi An’s talent is truly amazing in this Yi family, but Yi An himself is not very satisfied. In his previous life, he was a demon cultivator, and body training was his specialty. If it were not for various restrictions, he would have improved the realm. Far more than these...

Yi An curled his lips and smiled, looking at Yi Tong with his astonished pupils, there was an unspeakable gloom, and he slowly stepped forward and walked towards him. Yi Tong was still lying on the ground in a daze, as if he hadn’t recovered from the scene just now. It wasn’t until Yi An stared at him for a long time that he suddenly realized, and took a few steps back, You, what the hell is your strength?

Chapter 4 Body Training Level 61

His voice was trembling, Yi Tong was really frightened.

Yi An chuckled, walked slowly in front of him, waved his hands and said, You are very unfortunate, I just broke through to the sixth level of body training yesterday!

In fact, Yi An’s strength has reached the eighth level of body training. Of course, no one can see that he will naturally not be foolish enough to tell his realm. In this continent where martial arts are respected and strength determines everything, it is better to keep a low profile and hide some strength. At a critical juncture, it will definitely be able to exert unexpected effects.

Body training level six? Just broke through yesterday?! Yi Tong was dumbfounded, and after a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, Body training level six, Yi An, you wait for me, one day I will surpass you and break your dog leg...

Even now, he still remembers it, Yi An’s eyes flashed with cold light, he chuckled, and took another step towards him. Vaguely, in the depths of his pupils, a murderous intent could be seen looming!

Repeatedly taught, Yi An didn’t have much patience!

The companions standing not far away noticed something was wrong, and the leader stepped forward and bowed to Yi An and said: Brother Yi, don’t be impatient, even though this matter is Yi Tong’s fault, after all, he is the fourth elder’s son If there is any mistake, I am afraid that Brother Yi will have difficulty explaining to the Fourth Elder!

The Fourth Elder? Yi An paused, murmured, turned his head to look, the original four had now become three, and couldn’t help but smile to himself, So what about the Fourth Elder’s son?

Then, ignoring the man, he turned around, looked at Yi Tong on the ground, and raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, The last one is mine. Since you dare to insult and provoke, then I will break your arm...

As soon as the voice fell, a ruthlessness crossed his face, and his right hand stretched out as fast as lightning, directly grabbing Yi Tong on the ground, his eyes flashed with light, and his hands suddenly exerted force, only to hear a crisp sound spread throughout the courtyard, and the sound hadn’t yet When it fell, a scream like a pig was followed.

Yi An, I swear I won’t be human if I don’t kill you!

Yi Tong’s face was pale, and he let out a heart-piercing roar, dragging his broken right arm, seeing that Yi An’s eyes were full of viciousness. No matter what, he didn’t expect that today, not only did he fail to avenge his revenge, but instead he lost his face. Suppressed and unable to fight back, he was slapped a few times, and his right arm was broken.

Great shame and humiliation, Yi Tong’s eyes can no longer tolerate Yi An’s existence.

Similarly, the three people next to him also did not expect that Yi An would actually dare to do it, and would decisively abolish one of his arms. Although he could be connected, it would definitely have an impact on his future practice, and he would not be able to participate in that three-year test...

Vicious, vicious, thoughtful, and resourceful.

The three of them recalled the evaluation of Yi An by everyone in the past three years, and couldn’t help but gasp. It turned out to be true. Yi An was indeed very ruthless. They regretted it a bit. They regretted listening to Yi Tong and followed him.

But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. At this point, I can only pray secretly that Yi An will not be so stingy.

Indeed, our young master Yi didn’t take them seriously at all. There were originally four people, but now one less, he must have lost the notification to the so-called Fourth Elder. For this, Yi An just snorted coldly, glanced at them, showed an intriguing smile, turned and walked in.

If there’s nothing special, then take him away to avoid dirtying the floor of my house!

The voice was cold, devoid of any emotion. Looking at the white figure, the three men looked at each other and chuckled bitterly, gently shaking their heads. Then, glancing at Yi Tong who had already fainted from pain on the ground, their faces turned somewhat red and looked extremely displeased.

They also found Yi An displeasing to the eyes, so their visit this time had the intention of watching him embarrass himself. They thought if Yi Tong was slightly inadequate, they would secretly assist him, letting Yi An take a big fall. But they didn’t expect...

Lightning-fast action!

They hadn’t even recovered from their shock when the fight was completely over. Yi Tong had received two slaps, had an arm broken, and Yi An, that so-called good-for-nothing, didn’t even touch the other’s clothes...

Such a result was too far from their plan. At this moment, looking at Yi Tong, the three of them couldn’t help but feel a hatefulness. Not only did he embarrass himself, but he also dragged them down, leaving them without any face.

But it was also good, having seen Yi An’s methods, it would be wise to be cautious about matters concerning him in the future and try not to get involved. He had just broken through to the sixth level of body training yesterday, huh... who would believe that if it was said out loud? The skill required to send Yi Tong flying with a single slap must be at least of the seventh level of body training...

The three of them thought to themselves until Yi An disappeared from sight, then they dragged the unconscious Yi Tong away.

Inside the house, Aunt Chun brewed another cup of ‘Nangshan Jinfeng’ tea and placed it on the table. Then, she stepped aside, lowering her head, occasionally stealing glances at Yi An with the corners of her eyes, looking like she had something to say but found it difficult to speak.

Chapter 5 Body Training Level 6 (2)

Yi An saw this, picked up the cup, took a sip, and smiled slightly. Aunt Chun, if you have anything to say, just go ahead and say it!

Young Master... Aunt Chun raised her head, her eyes filled with worry. You injured Yi Tong. Won’t the Fourth Elder...

Aunt Chun had been worried about this matter. Yi Tong was the Fourth Elder’s son. Now that he had been beaten up like this, how could the Fourth Elder let it go? Although Yi An’s status had greatly increased over the past three years, facing an elder, he was still just a young sapling under a towering tree.

So that’s what you’re worried about. Yi An smiled faintly. So what? No matter what, what should happen has already happened. Aunt Chun doesn’t have to worry. When soldiers come, we’ll face them. When water comes, we’ll block it with earth.

After speaking, seeing that Aunt Chun’s
