Chapter 19: Breaking Through as a Two-Star Warrior (First Update)

  In the following days, things didn't develop as Yi Chi had imagined. The Lu family seemed to have not discovered those two corpses at all, and there was no ripple or disturbance whatsoever.

  "This is abnormal, to say the least. That's a training ground for martial arts, with many people training every day. How could it be that no one has discovered this? Are the Lu family members all pigs?" Yi Chi couldn't help but ask in puzzlement.

  After all, the person died at his hands, so Yi Chi is particularly concerned about this matter. Of course, he's not stupid enough to directly ask others 'Has anything big happened in the Lu family recently?' Yi Chi isn't a fool.

  Let's not mention whether the Lu family has discovered anything or not, anyway, Yi Chi has been having a pretty annoying few days. Every day, someone comes to visit him, they're not annoyed, but Yi Chi is about to be driven mad. Unconsciously, he starts to miss his previous life, back then, no one would come to this quiet lotus pavilion.

  "One by one, they all know I can cultivate now, and have become a One-Star Warrior, yet they all come to fawn on me. Hmph." Yi Chi held his tea cup, coldly smiling.

  Since the Ye family knew that Ye Chi's body had recovered and his talent was extremely high, being a one-star warrior at such a young age, people who wanted to curry favor with him were endless, and the gate of Ye Chi's Jinghe Institute was almost broken. Especially his several brothers, they came here almost every day, and their words implied that they wanted to win him over, but Ye Chi pretended not to notice.

  "I don't want to think about this anymore, today I should be able to break through. With a bit more effort, I'll try to succeed in one go." Yi Chi put down the teacup in his hand and was about to return to his room to cultivate. A few days ago, he had absorbed two souls, and last night, he had gone out to absorb three one-star fighters and one two-star fighter. Now, the amount of Dou Qi in his body had already reached the critical point for breaking through. Yi Chi believed that today, he would definitely be able to break through.

  After closing the door, he ordered the two maidservants 'Autumn Rain' and 'Autumn Snow', who were sent by his father to take care of him, to watch carefully and not let anyone disturb him. Then, Yi Chi started to meditate and cultivate his 'Fengyang' inner energy.

  According to the route, a ball of fiery red Dou Qi in Dantian was separated into two groups and ran along two different routes.

  "It must succeed today."

  Yi Chi Huaizhe's unwavering conviction, his spirit fully focused on circulating his Qi.

  Calm down the irritable mood caused by the circulation of Qi, Yi Chi forcibly calmed down the excitement in his heart, concentrated his mind and suppressed that surge of emotion.

  In the air, strands of heavenly energy revolved and entered Yip's body, merging with his own internal energy. The two scarlet energies grew faster and more intense, and Yip, fully devoted to his training, struggled to control the two currents of energy, careful not to let them intersect.

  Time is passing minute by minute and second by second.

  Sweat on Yi Chi's forehead was getting more and more, but every time a drop fell, it was evaporated into gas by the high temperature around him.

  To break through the Two-Star Warrior, one must divide their own fighting spirit into two parts, gathering them into two spheres of fighting spirit that no longer merge with each other but can still complement each other.

  Since the self-cultivation, the internal Qi has been a single strand. To separate it into two strands without fusing them together is not an easy task. It requires the cultivator to have a high and firm mental state, as well as sufficient internal Qi. If the internal Qi is insufficient, success is impossible.

  At this time, the two fierce auras inside Yi Chi's body had grown to their limit, and Yi Chi's mental energy was also greatly consumed.

  Operating silently, when both stocks of Qi have completed nine large cycles of operation, the most critical moment has arrived, and the Qi returns.

  As long as the elixir returns to the dan-tian and they do not merge with each other, then the easy pool is successful.

  Two strands of Dou Qi almost simultaneously returned to the Lower Dantian within Yi Chi, where they began to rotate in a long, linear motion, condensing into two continuously rotating Dou Qi spheres.

  Feeling the situation inside his body, Yi Chi finally let out a breath, and the two masses of fighting spirit did not merge with each other.

  When the two groups of fighting spirit had completely calmed down, Yi Chi's body, which was sitting cross-legged, slightly trembled. A turbid stream of air flowed out from all over his body, and he opened his tightly closed eyes. Two fiery rays of light flashed, and in the next instant, they disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all...

  He sat down for a moment, Yi Chi twisted his slightly stiff neck, making a "creaking" sound, waved his hand, and felt that his body had become even more explosive than before. Yi Chi knew he had succeeded.

  "Finally became a two-star warrior."

  He smiled comfortingly and got out of bed.

  Pushing open the door and gazing at the somewhat dim sky, this time's cultivation had already passed for a full three hours.

  "Young master, you must be hungry. I'll go prepare some food for you." The two maids who had been quietly waiting outside the door saw Yi Chi come out, and Qiu Yu hurriedly went to prepare food, while Qiu Xue quietly waited by Yi Chi's side, ready to attend to his orders at any moment.

  "Haha, Autumn Snow, you've made me hungry. Let's put the food in the courtyard and enjoy this beautiful dusk view. It really whets one's appetite! Yi Chi is probably happy because of his breakthrough, or maybe it's just because of this beautiful dusk scene. Anyway, he's in a great mood now."

  "Alright young master, I'll go with Autumn Rain to bring the dishes." Autumn Snow responded as she headed towards the kitchen.

  Yi Chi nodded slightly, raising his head to gaze at the gradually setting sun, and the hazy figure, couldn't help but bring a hint of vicissitudes.

  ......

  When autumn rain and autumn snow had laid out the dishes and chopsticks, Yi Chi sat down.

  "Hehe, you two don't have to be so formal here, come on, sit down, it's more enjoyable when we eat together." Yi Chi smiled as he looked at Qiu Yu and Qiu Xue standing one on each side behind him, he really wasn't used to the feeling of having two girls staring at him while he ate.

  "Young master, it's fine for us to just stand." Hearing Yi Chi say this, Qiu Yu and Qiu Xue declined with a hint of gratitude.

  "What's good about standing, I tell you to sit and you sit, did you hear that?" Yi Chi hated this feudal system the most, eating a meal still needed someone to serve, as if he didn't have hands or feet.

  "I dare not." The two of them hastily knelt down in fear.

  "Hey, what's going on here? I just asked you to sit down and have a meal, do we need to make such a fuss?" Yi Chi's original good mood was ruined, and he couldn't help but resent those feudal systems.

  "The slave has erred, please punish me, Master." Hearing the malice in Yi Chi's tone, Qiu Yu and Qiu Xue became even more afraid to get up, continuously knocking their heads.

  "You're killing me! Get up quickly!" Yi Chi hastily got up and stopped the two who were still trying to kowtow.

  Supporting them to sit down on one side, Yi Chi couldn't help but feel that his words just now were a bit too heavy.

  "Listen up, since you call me Young Master, then you have to listen to me. I told you to sit down and eat, so just sit down and eat, don't think for yourselves, got it?" Yi Chi was really at his wit's end.

  "Yes, young master." The two hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

  "Ah, that's right. Alright, you two sit down for a bit, I'll be back soon." Yi Chi saw the two nodding and his mood improved significantly. He instructed them to wait while he went into the bathroom to splash some water on his face and grabbed a clean towel.

  Those two little girls just kowtowed very hard, although they didn't bleed, but their faces became like small flowers.

  Taking these things, Yi Chi returned to the yard again.

  Two little maidservants watched as Yi Chi took a basin and towel, and couldn't help but wonder what their strange young master was going to do.

  Gently placing the washbasin on a stone bench, Yi Chi sat down in front of two small maids, and wetted the towel with water.

  "Come, don't move." Yi Chi used a towel to wipe the dusty face of Qiu Yu, who was trying to hide but was caught by Yi Chi in an instant. The look of surprise and shyness on her face made Yi Chi feel a bit embarrassed.

  "You two are really something, don't do this again in the future. If you scratch your skin, it will leave a scar. Come on, Autumn Snow, be still and don't move around." After wiping Autumn Rain clean, Yi Chi washed the towel and then wiped Autumn Snow's face clean as well.

  "Haha, that's more like it. I'm not like others, from now on, as long as you don't do anything to harm me, you can consider me a friend. Alright, let's eat." Yi Chi stood up, took a look at his handiwork, put the basin and towel aside, and sat back down in his original seat.

  "Huh?" Looking at the two maids who hadn't moved yet with a puzzled expression, Yi Chi couldn't help but think that he might have been too abrupt earlier.

  "Aren't you hungry?" Yi Chi suddenly thought, maybe they've already eaten?

  "Ah! No, young master, we're starving!" The two little servants, who seemed to have just reacted, quickly picked up their bowls and chopsticks, almost burying their entire heads in the bowls.

  "Haha." Yi Chi looked at their appearance and couldn't help but laugh happily.

  The two of them became even more embarrassed.

  "You're such a bad boy!" With a hint of sweetness in their hearts, the two girls felt that today's meal had suddenly become especially sweet, sweet to the heart.

  Yi Chi also likes this feeling, no conspiracy, no one is bigger or smaller than anyone else, no disputes, just everyone laughing happily, crying sadly, no pretence at all, everything is so true.

  "I didn't think I'd long for this feeling too! But it feels so good." Yi Chi gazed at the moon that had risen unknowingly, filled with emotion.
