Chapter 86: First Hearing of Family Test (First Update)

  Yi Chi returned and resumed his ordinary life.

  Most of the day was spent on cultivation, cultivating Dou Qi and practicing Dou techniques, which took up a total of seven hours. Moreover, cultivating Dou Qi could recover one's vitality; otherwise, how could someone like Yi Chi sustain himself?

  At other times, Yi Chi occasionally played with Qiu Yu, and now Qiu Xue no longer avoided him. When he saw her, he didn't have the same feeling as before. Of course, they weren't strangers either, but their relationship had become much more subdued, basically not talking to each other.

  This peaceful life, Yi Chi felt, was also a rare relaxation, no need to think about anything, just simply cultivate, this kind of life, Yi Chi still liked very much.

  ......

  This day was also the seventh day after what happened last time.

  Yi Chi was cultivating the Wind God Leg, which actually meant sensing the wind elements between heaven and earth, sensing their emotions, sensing their growth, and sensing everything about them. Yi Chi spent half a time every day on this, and the results were quite good. At least when he used the Wind God Leg, its power and agility had improved a lot compared to before.

  At this time.

  "Master, someone is looking for you outside." Qiu Yu said, running up to Yi Chi's side.

  Yi Chi looked at the door with suspicion.

  As expected——

  There was a guard standing there, someone Yi Chi had seen before. He remembered that this guard should be responsible for his father's side.

  "Could it be that Father has something to discuss with me?" With a slight sense of puzzlement in his heart, Yi Chi still called out for Qiu Yu to bring him in.

  The guard walked up to Yi Chi and knelt on one knee, saying: "Young Master Wu, the master has summoned you."

  "Oh, my father is looking for me? Alright, you go first, I'll be right there." Yi Chi replied.

  "Yes." The guard responded and then backed out.

  "Master, what does the master of the house want with you?" Autumn Rain had also heard the guard's words and was now curious.

  "Hehe." With a chuckle, Yi Chi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but going will reveal the answer."

  After finishing speaking, Yi Chi went back to his room to change clothes and then set off.

  ......

  Still in Yiyun's Yunyu Courtyard.

  When Yiqi arrived, he saw his three brothers were already there. Oh, but his eldest brother was not.

  "Sit down." Yi Yun said as he sat on the main seat after seeing Yi Chi arrive.

  "Alright, Father." Yi Chi sat down in front of his second brother without any courtesy.

  As soon as Yi Chi sat down in that position, his three older brothers all furrowed their brows. That was originally the seat of Eldest Brother Yi Hang, but now Yi Chi had taken it over.

  Yi Yun above also looked at Yi Chi in surprise, but didn't say anything.

  Yi Chi, however, didn't care about the gaze of the three people in front of him and naturally picked up a cup of tea from one side to drink.

  "Well, this tea is good." He praised his father and smiled at the three people in front of him.

  "Hmph!" The most impatient Yilun let out a cold hum towards Yichi, turned his head away and refused to look at him again.

  "Heh heh." He smiled carelessly and didn't bother to look at them anymore, instead turning his attention to his own father. Right now, he still had no idea why his father had called him over.

  "Hehe, I know you're puzzled, let me tell you." After seeing Yi Chi's gaze, Yi Yun knew what he was thinking. This little son of his had never participated in this kind of test before, but now it was different. His own little son was not the same as before. Thinking of this, Yi Yun also smiled proudly.

  "Cough, cough." After clearing his throat, Yi Yun looked at the four of them and said in a deep voice: "I suppose you three also know that the family test will begin in just one month. The martial competition after the test is also related to your own interests, so I want you to focus on your training for this month and not slack off."

  As he said this, he glared fiercely at Yi Lun. Among his five sons, Yi Lun was the most unruly. Normally, as long as their cultivation improved, he wouldn't bother with them too much. But now, that wasn't possible.

  Born in a big family, he was not his own master, of course, he hoped that the position of the head of the household could be passed on to his own son. In this kind of martial arts competition, it is a time to show one's strength and cannot afford to lose. If you lose, your support rate in the family will naturally decrease.

  Of course, this kind of martial arts competition is only for young people. His eldest son Yi Xing is already over 40 years old, so he doesn't need to participate, and he also has the strength of a great master, which is not on the same level as these guys at all, there's no point in comparing.

  His second son is also 28 years old this year, and he won't be able to participate in the next martial arts competition. This time, it's naturally the most important one. If he can get first place, it will be very beneficial for his future development. In fact, he still likes his fifth son the most, followed by his second son. As for his eldest son, he doesn't particularly like him. He even thinks that his fourth son, who is the most mischievous, is better than his eldest son. Of course, it would be best if they could all just get along peacefully.

  Moreover, his second son's cultivation talent was also outstanding, reaching the strength of a 9-star Dou Shi at the age of 28. He would definitely be able to break through to a 1-star Da Dou Shi around the age of 30. In terms of talent, he was even better than his eldest son. As for the others, his third and fourth sons also had decent cultivation. His third son had the strength of a 7-star Dou Shi, while his fourth son had already reached the level of a 6-star Dou Shi and was about to break through to 7-star. He too had great talent, but compared to his eldest son, who had been stuck at the level of a 2-star Da Dou Shi for years without making any progress, it was quite displeasing to him.

  As for...

  Yi Yun's gaze turned to his fifth son, and he hastily shook his head.

  "It's still Xiao Chi's talent that's the most monstrous! He broke through to Dou Shi level in less than a month, sigh." Thinking of this, Yi Yun shook his head again, as if he was ashamed of his own talent.

  "If the Chi Er hadn't been sealed, he would have definitely broken through to the Dou Wang level before the age of thirty. What a pity!" As soon as he thought of that damn seal, Yi Yun felt a wave of anger, but he also had no way out. The contract back then was signed by his father and three other families, and now it had been over 400 years. Looking at it, in just two more years, the contract would become invalid. At that time, if the other three families came knocking on their door...

  The consequences were not something Yi Yun could bear.

  "Hmph, it's only at times like these that they become so united." With a vicious curse, Yi Yun finally came back to his senses.

  Yi Yun thought for a long time, but it was just a fleeting moment.

  Now, Yi Lun is awkwardly lowering his head, not daring to look at Yi Yun.

  "Hmph!" After humming at the young man, Yi Yun said again: "In this regard, you should learn from Chi'er."

  After finishing speaking, he smiled at Yi Chi.

  Yi Chi also gave a face-saving remark: "Father is joking, all three elder brothers must work harder than me."

  Yi Yun waved his hand at Yi Chi, and then glared at Yi Lun again.

  "And also, this time you must pay special attention to these few people." As he said this, the originally smiling Yi Feng also became serious, it was clear that he too knew how important this test was for himself, unless he didn't want to sit in the position of family head anymore, otherwise, he had to be more serious.

  Satisfied with a glance at Yifeng, Yiyun said: "These three people, including the current Grand Elder's son, Yi Kong, the newly appointed Twelfth Elder, Yi Lan, and the collateral branch's Yi Bu Hui, all have the strength of a Nine-Star Master. Wind, this is your strong enemy, you must be especially careful."

  Yi Feng nodded and said: "The child will definitely not disappoint his father."

  "Well, that's good." He nodded in satisfaction and continued, "And you two." He looked at Yiming and Yilun.

  "You must also get me into the top ten, only the top ten have the qualifications to enter the Dou Technique Pavilion to choose a technique. You can't miss this opportunity." Yi Yun said seriously.

  Two people were named by Yi Yun, both with a bitter smile on their faces.

  However, since Father has spoken, they didn't dare to slack off and hastily said: "Yes, the child will definitely work hard."

  Yes, they try their best, but they don't dare to guarantee like Yi Feng did. They can only say that they've tried their best, and if it still doesn't work out after trying hard, then there's nothing more to be said.

  Yi Yun obviously also heard it, but he also knew that it was a bit difficult for his two sons to enter the top ten. Those twenty-eight or nine-year-old Yi family members basically all had four-star or higher Dou Shi strength, and the higher ones, like the three mentioned above, were all nine-star Dou Shis, while those in between also had several who reached eight-star and seven-star strength. These people added up to more than 20, so it was still very difficult for Yi Ming and Yi Yun to enter the top ten.

  "Never mind, just try your best." Shaking his head, Yi Yun also accepted it. After all, his two sons were only in their early twenties.

  Those people are all more than five years older than them, and it's really difficult to get into the top ten.

  After finishing talking about his three sons, Yi Yun looked at Yi Chi again.

  "This guy." Yi Yun felt stifled for a moment.

  Yi Chi was smiling at him with a playful glint in his eyes.

  "Chi'er, your father won't set any requirements for you anymore. Just go and have fun, that's all." Yi Yun was going to encourage Chi'er a bit more, but after looking at his expression, he reluctantly changed his words.

  After hearing what Yi Yun said, even Yi Feng felt that his father was a bit biased. He had expectations for all of them, so why did he not have any for Yi Chi? This was also too biased, wasn't it?

  "Never mind, maybe Father just thinks he's too weak and doesn't want to put pressure on him," Yi Feng comforted himself.

  Also, looking at Ye Yi's pool of star masters' strength, it really doesn't seem like they can get a good ranking.

  So, Yifeng felt a bit relieved with this idea.
