Chapter 13: Yuan Lei's Body!!

  Under this torrential and violent mysterious energy, Ye Chen did not pause for a moment, his mind sank into the sea of consciousness.

  At this moment, I can only rely on the power of Feidao!

  With a humming sound, the flying knife in his mind emitted a clear tremolo, and in an instant, the majestic Xuan Qi surged out of the flying knife. His body was instantly filled with the pure Xuan Qi gushing out of the flying knife, and the pressure that Ye Kongyan had put on himself disappeared without a trace.

  A sharp light suddenly burst out of Ye Chen's pupils.

  Rumbling Thunder Explodes!

  Ye Chen faced the rushing Ye Kongyan, and with a loud "Boom", a figure flew out and retreated several steps.

  How could this be? The people of the scene all took a cold breath and looked at Ye Chen in the center of the martial arts arena.

  It was Ye Kongyan who was blown away, while Ye Chen remained rooted to the ground, unmoving.

  Ye Chen surprisingly defeated Ye Kongyan of the sixth rank with his fifth-rank peak Xuanqi!

  This was completely beyond the understanding of the people in the village.

  The people on the viewing platform, including Ye Cangxuan and Ye Zhantian, all showed a look of surprise and doubt. As veterans, they were more aware than anyone else of the gap in strength between the fifth and sixth stages, which was like a chasm. Ye Chen had actually managed to repel Ye Kongyan, a sixth-stage cultivator, with his peak fifth-stage strength, which was something that couldn't help but surprise them.

  I didn't expect the mysterious energy in the flying knife to be so formidable! Ye Chen couldn't help but think, once he activated the flying knife, his strength increased by several times! It can even steadily suppress Ye Kongyan, a sixth-stage cultivator.

  Feeling the mighty Xuan Qi inside his body, Ye Chen's heart was filled with excitement.

  Ye Kongyan's face turned pale, he didn't expect that after raising his Xuanqi level to sixth rank, he still wasn't a match for Ye Chen. The psychological advantage he relied on was suddenly gone, and his heart was filled with confusion and perplexity. Originally thinking that taking over the position of family head would be easy, it now seemed far away.

  Are we going to lose?! No, I'm not convinced! What makes you stronger than me, what does?!

  The position of head of the household belongs to me!

  Ye Kongyan's inner hatred and hostility towards Ye Chen suddenly erupted, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, the Xuanqi inside his body surged, and the skin on his right hand instantly turned as black as ink!

  Go die! Ye Kongyan screamed in his heart and rushed towards Ye Chen.

  Ye Moyang saw Ye Kongyan's action, his face suddenly turned pale, but he wanted to stop it was already too late.

  "You dare, you little brat!" Ye Zhan Tian stood up in shock and anger, his face too far away to be seen clearly. He glared fiercely at Ye Mo Yang, almost shouting: "Ye Mo Yang, what a great son you've taught! If anything happens to my son, I'll make sure you and your son are buried together!" The aura on Ye Zhan Tian's body suddenly burst out.

  Nine stages, it's actually nine stages! Ye Moyang's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

  Ye Zhanlong and others also stood up one after another, their hearts all hanging in mid-air.

  The martial skill displayed by Ye Kongyan is the most sinister and venomous Yin Lei Claw in the family. This skill was created by a member of the Ye family 100 years ago, which injects dark and evil energy into the opponent's body, causing severe damage to their meridians, and can even be fatal! If one is hit by the Yin Lei Claw, someone of the same level will undoubtedly die, let alone Ye Chen, whose Xuan Qi level is one level lower than Ye Kongyan's!

  Practicing the Dark Thunder Claw can easily lead to a violent and bloodthirsty temperament. In the past, a member of the Ye family killed three of his own kin, becoming a traitor to the Ye family and was hunted down by the Ye family members into the Lianyun Mountains, where he fell off a cliff to his death. The Dark Thunder Claw martial art was also sealed away, with the ancestors' teachings being that it should never be practiced unless absolutely necessary. Who would have thought that the Dark Thunder Claw martial art still existed within the clan?! If this martial art were used against the Ye family's enemies, that would be one thing, but Ye Kongyan actually used it on his own kin!

  Killing one's own kind is a great taboo!

  It's no wonder that Ye Zhan Tian and others are so excited. If Ye Chen didn't know, and exchanged a palm with Ye Kong Yan, the consequences would be disastrous!

  Ye Kongyan's palm wind howled in, and that sharp, cold breath made Ye Chen instantly become solemn.

  What is this martial art?

  Ye Chen understood that at this moment, he absolutely could not hold back in any way!

  The Body of Yuan Lei!

  The mysterious energy inside the body emitted a crackling explosive sound, and the skin all over the body turned a faint golden yellow color, as if wearing a layer of golden armor, and with a loud roar, it burst out!

  With the addition of Yuan Lei's body, the power of the burst thunderbolt is several times greater!

  Ye Chen blocked Ye Kongyan's dark thunder palm with one hand, and the other hand was printed on Ye Kongyan's chest. Ye Kongyan suddenly flew up like a kite that had broken its string, heavily falling to the edge of the martial arts platform, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Ye Kongyan struggled to lift his head and glanced at Ye Chen, that resentful gaze was like a venomous snake, and he fell to the ground with a pale face.

  Ye Chen felt a cold and sinister energy rampaging through his body, attempting to destroy his meridians. He quickly activated the flying knives, and in an instant, the surging mystical energy from the knives devoured the cold energy, leaving no residue behind.

  Fortunately, no one was injured. I don't know what kind of martial arts Ye Kung-yen used, but judging from the reactions of my father and others in the stands, it must be quite extraordinary.

  Ye Zhan Tian leaped onto the martial stage, grabbing Ye Chen's right hand. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he poured in more and more Xuan Qi to probe Ye Chen's injuries, but those Xuan Qi were like stones sinking into the ocean, without any response. He couldn't even detect Ye Chen's Xuan Qi level.

  "How is Chen Er's injury?" Ye Zhan Tian asked with concern.

  "Thank you for your concern, Father. I'm fine." Ye Chen said with a hearty smile, three years had passed, but the mockery of Ye Kongyan still lingered in his ears, and this grievance was finally vented.

  When Ye Chen said this, Ye Zhan Tian's suspended heart finally put down.

  "Take him down for treatment!" Ye Zhan Tian coldly commanded, his eyes scanning the corner of the martial arena where Ye Kong Yan stood. Turning to face the crowd, he declared in a loud voice, "Ye family's Empty Character Generation member Ye Kong Yan secretly practiced the forbidden martial technique Yin Lei Claw and attacked a fellow clansman. He is sentenced to face the wall for ten years. His father, Ye Mo Yang, failed to teach his son properly and will be stripped of his elder position. He will receive one hundred lashes at the Law Enforcement Hall. Does anyone among you have any objections?"

  If it were just a matter of cultivating the Dark Thunder Claw, the clan members wouldn't say anything, but using the Dark Thunder Claw on someone from their own clan is absolutely intolerable!

  "No objections!"

  Ye Moyang's face turned gloomy, looking at the other elders, who all turned their heads away, pretending not to see. Earlier, Ye Zhantian had displayed his 9th rank strength, and his position in the family suddenly rose, becoming no different from the old patriarch. If they continued to oppose Ye Zhantian, wouldn't that be unwise?

  Ye Moyang's gaze shifted to Ye Cangxuan, and he knelt down: "Sixth Uncle, I am willing to accept punishment. Please spare me for the sake of my ignorance as a child!"

  Ye Cangxuan coldly laughed and said, "You actually have the nerve to speak up. I don't believe your son's sinister actions weren't taught by you. Have you forgotten the lesson from a hundred years ago? Being confined for ten years was considered lenient."

  Hearing Ye Cangxuan say this, Ye Moye knew that it was already irretrievable. He gritted his teeth and forcibly swallowed back the resentment.

  Ye Moyang and Ye Kongyan were taken away, Ye Zhantian had wanted to get rid of Ye Moyang for a long time, but Ye Moyang was the Grand Elder and there was no strong evidence to prove that Ye Moyang colluded with Yunjia Fortress, so he could only drag it on. Today, he finally found an opportunity, but he could only abolish Ye Moyang's position as Grand Elder.

  "The ancestral worship ceremony has come to this, it's heartbreaking. Ye Chen will become the next master of the Ye family manor, does anyone have any objections?" Ye Zhan Tian asked, scanning the crowd of clan members.

  "No objection!" The people below shouted in unison, Ye Chen obtained the position of successor to the head of the family, and it was also a popular expectation. Being able to defeat the sixth-order Ye Kongyan proved that Ye Chen had at least sixth-order strength, which was absolutely qualified.

  Ye Meng, Ye Ming, Ye Peng and others were particularly excited.

  "Congratulations, Brother Ye Chen." Ye Wan looked at Ye Chen on the martial arts stage with a heroic and refreshing appearance, and her beautiful eyes showed a hint of unusual color as she murmured.

  Just then, a bright and clear voice rang out.

  "Congratulations, Big Brother, on advancing to the 9th rank!" The speaker was Ye Zhanlong on the spectator stand.

  There was just a loud bang, and the crowd erupted in panic.

  "Has the clan leader been promoted? Is that true?"

  "What the War Dragon says must be true."

  "With the addition of Old Patriarch, our Ye Family Fort will have two Ninth-Order cultivators. We won't need to be as fearful of Cloud Family Fort like before!"

  "Congratulations, Chief!"

  "Congratulations, Chief!"

  A crowd of people from the Ye family hurriedly bowed to Ye Zhan Tian on the viewing platform, and the older generation was even more tearful. After all these years, Ye Jia Bao finally had two ninth-grade masters! They knew better than anyone what it meant to have two ninth-grade masters.

  Ye Cangxuan's age is advanced, and it's possible that one day he'll ride a crane to the west, and Yejia Fortress will lose a pillar. Fortunately, Ye Zhantian has been promoted to the 9th rank, and all the unpleasantness caused by Ye Moyang and Ye Kongyang earlier has dissipated.

  A Ninth-Grade Master is the guardian deity of our family. Because of the enormous deterrent force of a Ninth-Grade Master, other families dare not offend the Ye Family Manor!

  Ye Cangxuan and Ye Zhanlong also jumped onto the martial arts stage.

  "Uncle." Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Cangxuan.

  Ye Cangxuan nodded, smiling: "Congratulations, you've reached the 9th rank, and the burden on my shoulders has been halved!" His gaze fell on Ye Chen's body, asking: "Chen'er, the martial skill you used to defeat Ye Kongyan earlier, was it Yuan Lei's Body?"

  Just now, Ye Zhantian was worried about Ye Chen's body and didn't notice. After hearing what Ye Cangxuan said, he suddenly remembered that when Ye Chen defeated Ye Kongyan, a golden yellow color appeared all over his body. That was clearly the color of the mysterious energy when using the Primordial Thunder Body. Could it be that Ye Chen had already mastered the Primordial Thunder Body? How is this possible? To think that just a few days ago, he had only given Ye Chen the secret manual for the Primordial Thunder Body, and in just these few days, Ye Chen had already mastered it? In the past, he himself had spent an entire three years to master the Primordial Thunder Body!

  Seeing the expectant gaze of the crowd, Ye Chen knew that this was definitely not something that could be hidden. He nodded and said, "The martial skill that Chen'er used just now is indeed the Primordial Lightning Body!"

  Upon hearing Ye Chen's affirmative answer, everyone took a deep breath in unison.

  The cultivation conditions of the Yuan Lei body are extremely harsh, and in general, at least seven levels above are required within the family to cultivate the Yuan Lei body. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to succeed, and currently, only three people in the entire family have succeeded in cultivating the Yuan Lei body: Ye Cangxuan, Ye Zhantian, and Ye Zhanlong. Even Ye Zhanxiong has not yet succeeded, but Ye Chen, who is only at the fifth level of Xuanqi, has surprisingly also cultivated the Yuan Lei body.

  "Big brother, you're being too biased! When did you secretly pass on the Yuan Lei's body technique to Chen Er?" Ye Zhan Long patted Ye Zhan Tian's shoulder and said with an uncontrollably joyful expression.

  Ye Zhan Tian let out a bitter laugh and said, "I never taught him anything. Just a few days ago, I gave him the secret manual of Yuan Lei's body, hoping it would help his cultivation. I didn't expect him to actually succeed in cultivating it." It's only been a few days, yet he's already succeeded in cultivating Yuan Lei's body! He has a deep understanding of just how difficult it is to cultivate!

  "A few days ago, you just handed over the secret recipe to Chen Er?" The gaze of Ye Zhan Long and others focused on Ye Chen again, full of strange colors.
