Chapter 21: The Yi Family Gathering (Part 1)

  The first level of Yi Jia's Thunder Palm is a fourth-grade lower-level soul technique, while the second level is a fourth-grade middle-level soul technique. One level is stronger than the other. Looking at it this way, the fifth level of Thunder Palm will probably break through to fifth grade.

  With an excited heart, Yi Chen opened the first layer of Tian Lei Palm and carefully observed the moves on it, deeply memorizing them in his mind.

  He put the book aside and transferred his soul power into the Heavenly Book. At the same time, he began to recall the moves of the Thunderbolt Palm from earlier.

  In the silent waiting, a small golden figure emerged in the heavenly book, it began to come alive, transforming fists into palms, changing unpredictably, each strike would bring with it a momentum like thunder from the heavens. That was the first move of the Heavenly Thunder Palm!

  "Hiss." The first round of the Heavenly Thunder Palm was finished, but Xiao Jinren didn't disappear. After a brief pause, it started moving again! This time, it was practicing a style that was vastly different from before.

  "Thunderclap Palm, Second Heavy!" Staring intently, Yi Chen licked his dry lips. He didn't remember the second heavy move at all; this was completely something Little Golden Man had practiced on its own!

  The Thunderbolt Palm, practiced by Little Golden Man, has a simple yet powerful technique. Each move perfectly interprets the essence of the Thunderbolt Palm.

  The second round was over quickly, and Xiao Jin's movements gradually slowed down, finally stopping on the Heavenly Book without moving.

  At this moment, Yi Chen held his breath and stared intently at the small golden statue. He hoped that the Heavenly Book could perfect the Heavenly Thunder Palm, so that the great lost art of the Yi family would surely reappear in all its divine power!

  "Hiss." After waiting for a moment, Yi Chen suddenly caught the slight movement of Xiao Jin's right hand. No mistake, Yi Chen dared to confirm that Xiao Jin had indeed moved just now, and his nerves immediately tensed up.

  "Slap." Little Golden Man's right hand swung out, issuing a crisp sound, immediately followed by another slap, and another sharp response echoed out. Then it flipped through the pages again, with thunderous palm winds resonating in space.

  This time the Little Golden Man's palm technique was even more profound than before, and its power was even more terrifying. Each palm seemed to have the power to destroy heaven and earth, making Yi Chen's heart surge with excitement.

  "This is the third move of the Thunderclap Palm!" His eyes blazed with excitement, and Yi Chen's hands trembled with agitation. The Heavenly Book was truly extraordinary, able to derive subsequent moves from just the first one!

  This discovery made Yi Chen extremely excited. If it was really like that, then in the future, as long as he remembered someone's soul technique, he would be able to completely replicate their soul technique?

  It was indeed a crazy idea, but Yi Chen didn't think much about it now. He looked at the small golden man with expectant eyes, to see if it could perfect the last two layers of the Heavenly Thunder Palm.

  "Bang bang." The third heavy move didn't last long, and soon Xiao Jin stopped. But in that instant, Xiao Jin lightly trembled, and immediately Yi Chen felt a strong dizziness sweeping his whole body.

  Yi Chen almost fainted, holding his forehead for a long time before recovering, and exclaimed in shock: "What's going on? The little golden man didn't even complete the last two layers, but instead made me feel a wave of fatigue."

  As soon as he said this sentence, Yi Chen felt that the beast soul was also transmitting an abnormality. He hurriedly introspected the beast soul and found that the originally abundant soul power had only a weak thread left.

  Such a situation had never happened before, and Yi Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At the horse track, he only allowed the beast soul to perfect its soul skills and soul techniques, so the consumption of soul power was not great.

  And now the heavenly book exercises are damaged soul techniques, which require a much larger consumption of soul power. The higher the rank of the soul technique, the more soul power is required to be consumed.

  "Is it that my strength is insufficient, and the Heavenly Book can't perform the last two levels?" Thinking of this, Yi Chen nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the stronger one's cultivation, the higher the level of soul techniques that the Heavenly Book can perform."

  Everything has its limits, and if it could be used endlessly, it would make Yichen anxious. Now that he has made this discovery, it has actually put his mind at ease a lot.

  "Being able to practice the third layer is already not bad, wait until my strength increases, I will definitely be able to practice the last two layers, believe me, the Easy Family's ultimate skill will soon reappear in its divine glory!" Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yi Chen restored his Xuan power and once again activated the Heavenly Book.

  "The third move of the Thunderbolt Palm is a top-grade fourth-class technique, its power is twice as strong as the second move." Watching Xiaojinren practice the third move several times, Yichen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  He continued to watch several times and then mobilized the first set of exercises. The first set is the foundation, only when the foundation is solidified, it will be much easier to practice the following ones.

  If it were to practice according to the book, it would probably take several months, but Yi Chen had a heavenly book that could be practiced, and after watching Xiao Jinren's movements, he found that practicing was effortless.

  It only took him half a day to master the first move of Thunderbolt Fist, and the second move also took just one day. Only the third move was the most profound, taking him three days to learn.

  ……

  The sun rises in the east, and the sky is clear and bright.

  "Hiss." The soul power between heaven and earth came rushing from all directions, in a courtyard, Yi Chen sat cross-legged on a stone bench, the soul power continuously being absorbed into his body.

  It wasn't until about half a time unit later that Yi Chen finally came back to his senses from his cultivation state.

  Opening his eyes and exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Yi Chen internally sensed the situation with the beast soul. He saw that the originally disordered soul power due to the boundary upgrade had now solidified once more, becoming even more refined and pure.

  "After advancing to the Star Soul Realm, the effect of the top-grade Three-Treasures Movement Technique is not as obvious as before, and the cultivation speed is no longer as fast as it used to be." It seems that he was somewhat dissatisfied with his cultivation, and Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he said this.

  When I was in the Yang Soul Realm, practicing the Moving Soul Technique had a very obvious effect and the cultivation speed was also very fast. However, as my realm improved, the third-grade soul technique seemed to be less effective.

  It's not that the Soul Stirring Technique is bad, it's just that Yi Chen has gotten used to an extremely fast cultivation speed, and now that it's suddenly slowed down, he's a bit unaccustomed to it.

  "It seems that after the clan meeting, I need to find a new cultivation method. " He muttered to himself, and his eyes moved from Yi Chen's gaze to a large stone nearby.

  Soul power surged, Easy High jumped high into the air, his body spinning two circles in mid-air. In an instant, his right hand transformed from a fist to a palm, and a gray soul power enveloped his right palm, condensing an extremely powerful aura within it.

  "Heavenly Thunder Palm, Third Layer!" Along with a loud shout, Yi Chen's right palm quickly struck the large stone.

  "Boom." A dull thud rang out, the large stone unable to withstand Yi Chen's powerful blow, instantly shattering into pieces, with debris flying in all directions.

  Those gravel pounced on him, and Yi Chen only slightly mobilized his soul power to shake them off. His body landed steadily on the ground, looking at the gravel all over the place, a confident smile appeared on his face.

  In these few days, he not only solidified his cultivation but also brought the third layer of Tianlei Palm to completion and was able to extremely skillfully utilize the suddenly surging soul force.

  "That's the Tianlei Palm that Yi Xiao is practicing, but he only knows the first two moves. I wonder what his expression will be when I defeat him with the third move?" A cruel smile played on Yi Chen's lips.

  The Ye family has two great ultimate skills, one of which is in the hands of the head of the household, and the other is the incomplete Heavenly Thunder Palm.

  "Tomorrow, the clan meeting will begin. I don't just want to be in the top three among my peers, but also sweep away the faces of you adult geniuses." A firm and confident voice echoed through the air.
