Chapter Eighty-Seven: I Want to Be First (Second Update)

  After Yi Yun finished speaking, Yi Chi didn't think so.

  He didn't just want to go on stage and show his face.

  "You guys are going to be scared to death." Yi Chi thought viciously, and just at that moment, he felt the need to bring out his best state to deal with this martial arts competition.

  Perhaps everyone will feel that this test is a bit unfair, why should a 15-year-old compete with those who are 28 or 29 years old? In fact, if it were someone else, they would basically only participate in the next test, and the subsequent martial arts competition would not be participated in. However, Yi Yun is the master of the house, and he also wants to let his young son, Yi Xiaofeng, make a name for himself, so he had him participate in the subsequent martial arts competition. As for the other members of the Yi family who are under 20 years old, they basically only participated in the next test, and for the subsequent martial arts competition, they were only responsible for watching. Of course, there were also those who were confident in their own abilities and went on stage to compete, but that was a minority, and it rarely happened.

  Although it is said that only the top ten can enter the Dou Technique Pavilion to choose a Dou technique, the Yi family's Dou techniques are enough for these ordinary tribe members to practice. Those with some influence, such as the descendants of the elders, learn the Dou techniques passed down from their previous generation, so even if they can't enter, it doesn't matter much. They can just wait until they grow up and go compare again. When they turn 29, won't they have a chance to enter too?

  So, let's just say that Yi Chi has finally cleared his name. After all, he used to live with the reputation of being a useless person, and now that he's proven himself, it's only right that he should be recognized for it. This is something that Yi Chi himself doesn't even disagree with.

  However, he was indeed very suspicious of one of the three people his father had just mentioned.

  "That guy is also a Nine-Star Warrior?" Yi Chi thought of the figure who called out to him as "Yi Big Brother", and compared it to his father's cultivation.

  "It doesn't look like it at all! Indeed, people can't be judged by their appearance!" After thinking about it, Yi Chi also didn't mind anymore. Although he only showed the cultivation of a One-Star Dou Shi, his actual combat ability was much higher than that.

  "Dealing with a group of martial artists is simply effortless!" Of course, this was just mental disdain for his opponents; in actual combat, he wouldn't show the slightest carelessness or underestimation.

  At this time, Yi Yun spoke again.

  "Alright, that's all for today. After you go down, be careful yourselves. Also, during the martial competition, don't hold back either. Don't worry about accidentally killing someone, we're here and it won't happen. Just do your best." This was mainly directed at Yi Chi, after all, the others had participated before and what needed to be said had already been said in the past. Now it was mainly for Yi Chi's benefit as a newcomer.

  "Understood, Father." Yifeng and the other two also stood up at this time, responding in unison.

  "Wait a minute." This was naturally said by Yi Chi, who stood up with great fanfare and turned his head to look at Yi Yun, saying: "Father, if I were to get a good ranking, how would you reward me?"

  The four people were stunned by these words.

  They didn't hear wrong, did they? A one-star master dared to claim that he would rank among a group of five-star masters and above?

  Yi Yun looked at his little son in surprise, he also knew his little son well, he knew that if Yi Chi wasn't confident, he wouldn't say such a thing, so...

  "Could he be more than just a One-Star Master?" Thinking this, Yi Yun couldn't help but re-examine Yi Qi's cultivation once again.

  He thought it would be easy for a Dou Wang to see through the cultivation of a Dou Shi, but no matter how he looked at him, he was still just a one-star Dou Shi. He didn't have the appearance that he had imagined.

  "Weird." Yi Yun also became curious, wondering what kind of trump card Yi Chi had that made him so confident he could get a ranking.

  "Fourth brother, stop messing around." The easy cloud above had not spoken yet, but the easy wind opposite him did.

  He glanced at him sideways and then turned his head back, completely ignoring his words.

  This made Yi Feng feel annoyed for a moment.

  "How could he ignore himself!" He thought angrily in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be nonchalant.

  "How is it?" Yi Chi asked his father again, completely disregarding the three people who were despising him on the side.

  "Oh, if you really can get a good ranking, I'll reward you with an extra yellow-grade superior martial skill." Yi Yun said with a smile, knowing that since Yi Chi had said so, he must have confidence in it, and naturally couldn't reward something too good, so he took out a yellow-grade martial skill that he didn't mind giving away.

  Upon hearing this, Yi Chi felt a wave of discontent. He had just thrown away a yellow-grade fighting technique book and didn't even bother to pick it up.

  Then he said again: "What if I enter the top ten?"

  This time, even Yi Yun felt that Yi Chi had gone too far. If you have a special trump card, you might be able to defeat a five-star Doushi with the strength of a one-star Doushi, but if you're up against an eight-star Doushi, there's no hope at all.

  However, Yi Yun still responded to Yi Chi's words.

  "As long as you get into the top ten, I'll reward you with a low-grade Xuan-level martial skill. If you make it into the top five, I'll reward you with a mid-grade Xuan-level martial skill."

  "Hehe, okay, this is more like it." Yi Chi said with a smile.

  "'Pretty good?' The words kept echoing in Yi Yun's mind. A mid-grade profound-level combat technique could only get a 'pretty good' evaluation from Yi Feng, so what would it take to be considered good? High-grade profound-level? Or even Earth-level?"

  Yi Feng and the other two directly ignored Yi Chi's words, thinking he was just talking nonsense.

  "Ignorant guy." Yi Ming thought with disdain in his heart, thinking that Yi Chi didn't understand the value of a mid-grade Xuan-level martial skill at all. Unfortunately, how could he know that this mid-grade Xuan-level was already considered pretty good by Yi Chi's standards? To use Yi Chi's own words, he could only give it a mediocre evaluation. Who made him have such high standards anyway?

  Alas, the gap between them is too great, they don't have a common language at all. It's like the richest man in the world and a small boss, one thinks buying a skyscraper is a simple matter, while the other thinks it's an unattainable dream. What common language can they possibly share?

  Now, the gap between Yi Chi and them is not so big, but it's getting closer.

  Just as they were thinking about Yee's previous sentence, Yee had already come up with an even more stunning remark.

  "If I get first place, what reward will you give me, Father?"

  Yi Chi dares to raise both hands and feet to guarantee that he thinks this question is very pure, without any selfishness in his heart, he just wants to ask for clarity.

  But others didn't think so, especially Yifeng.

  "Is he provoking me?" Yi Feng thought to himself, knowing that his goal this time was the first place, but Yi Chi had been boasting about what rewards he would get after getting the first place, which in Yi Feng's eyes, was absolutely a provocation!

  "This...” Yi Yun was speechless for half a day, his highest level of martial skills was only mid-grade Xuan rank, now being asked by Yi Chi like this, the first thing he thought of wasn't whether Yi Chi could do it or not, but whether he had the ability to give rewards.

  "Are you saying I should master two mid-grade Xuan-level martial arts?" Yi Yun was in a dilemma. He himself only knew one mid-grade Xuan-level martial art, after all, human energy is limited and can't be perfect in everything. Being able to focus on one martial art is also a very correct choice, but now he felt the downside of this choice.

  "Even if I don't learn, it's good to remember a few more!" Yi Yun thought gloomily. When he first learned Dou Technique, he had the opportunity to remember several more, after all, he was the master of the house and had that right. But at that time, he gave up and focused on one Dou Technique, now he regretted it again.

  "Whatever, I'll just say it out loud, anyway he won't get first place." Yi Yun thought this way and didn't bother with that issue anymore.

  He straightened up and said, "As long as you get first place, I'll reward you with two mid-grade Xuan-level martial skills."

  "Is that so!" Yi Chi felt a wave of disappointment, thinking he could deceive Ben into teaching him the top-grade fighting skills, even if he didn't learn it himself, he could still have his future subordinates practice it. Now hearing this, although Ben had added more to it, but it was quite different from what Yi Chi had in mind.

  Yi Yun looked at his young son silently, and naturally heard the tone of his voice. Obviously, he was not satisfied yet. Must he take out a top-grade martial skill? But he didn't have such high-end goods.

  "Maybe Grandpa has it too." Thinking of this, Yi Yun also thought of his own grandfather's idea, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

  "It's better not to go if he's that stubborn." Thinking of his own grandfather's craziness, Yi Yun didn't dare make any more plans.

  Yi Chi naturally didn't know that because of his own words, his father had taken a liking to the old man, and was now planning to bid farewell.

  Now that I've said what I wanted to say, it's time for me to leave. Are you still waiting for dinner or something?

  "Father?" Yi Chi called out in confusion to Yi Yun, who had been dazed since just now, and didn't know what he was thinking about.

  "Ah!" Yi Yun was also startled by Yi Chi's shouting and came back to his senses.

  "Cough cough. Alright, you all should head back now." Yi Yun directly gave the order to dismiss the guests.

  Those three people on that side had long been unable to bear it and were listening to Yi Chi's crazy words, they couldn't take it anymore.

  The child then bid farewell and the three of them left by pushing open the door.

  Yi Chi patted the table and said again: "Father, trust your son, I've got this one in the bag, just watch!"

  After finishing speaking, Yi Chi also walked out, leaving only Yi Yun alone there thinking about Yi Chi's words.

  "This kid, haha." After thinking for a while, Yi Yun smiled and shook his head, but he still had great confidence in Yi Chi taking first place.
