Chapter 92: The Family Test Begins (Second Update)

  When Yi Bu Hui first saw Yi Chi, he felt that there must be some treasure on his body. Otherwise, a born waste material would not become an extraordinary genius overnight.

  So, after thinking for countless nights, he finally decided to go to Yiqi's place. However, Yiqi was either staying in his own courtyard or running off somewhere unknown. Just when he was about to give up, Yiqi suddenly took the initiative to talk to him. In his excitement, he blurted out a sentence calling him "Big Brother Yi". Feeling that he had misspoken, but it was too late to correct himself, he could only continue calling him that from then on.

  Of course, he couldn't get his words across at the first time, so that time he didn't say anything and just got familiar with Yi Chi.

  But in the following days, it was time to start the family test. As a nine-star Dou Shi, Yi Buwu naturally had to participate, and he was only 28 years old, not over the age limit. So, for that first place, he gave up the opportunity to accompany Yi Chui and instead went to his usual training spot to train. Of course, this place was not the small valley he told Yi Chui about, but a waterfall. He trained there for half a month, and as soon as he returned to the Yi family home, he saw Yi Chui on the tree.

  After muttering to himself about his bad luck, he went straight there.

  But he was disappointed again, and Yi Chi obviously didn't fall for his trick and had no intention of making friends with him, instead appearing rather cold.

  "Damn it!" Yee Bu Wei cursed and didn't have the mood to stay there alone, so he could only disappointingly head back.

  ......

  Although Yi Chi didn't know about Yi Bu Hui's plan, he indeed wasn't too fond of Yi Bu Hui as a person. Some people are like that, you take one look at them and you know they're not someone you can get along with. And Yi Bu Hui was exactly that kind of person. So, Yi Chi didn't have any intention of chatting with him and simply left.

  "There's only about ten days left, and it's unlikely to make another breakthrough. Now, just maintaining cultivation is fine." As he walked, he thought about some trivial matters, but Yi Chi's footsteps were extremely fast. Even if he was walking, his speed was not ordinary. This was mainly because every time he took a step, he controlled the wind element to attach itself to his feet and push him forward. One stride was equivalent to five or six meters, which was incredibly fast.

  "This is somewhat like the divine art of shrinking the earth to an inch, but unfortunately, the effect is far from it." Although the current effect is much worse than the legendary great divine art, it's still better than nothing. At least it looks very cool and elegant.

  "If I were to take out a fan again, I reckon it would trigger a loud shriek from the girls, right?" Yi Chi smiled smugly.

  ......

  For the next dozen or so days, Yi Chi continued his intense training, which was enjoyable for him. He didn't know why, but he really liked the feeling of practicing, whether it was sword techniques, leg methods, or even the Bagua Palm that came with White Eye. Everything was practiced with joy, and under such circumstances, the results were also delightful, and the progress of his training was particularly fast.

  "It's basically familiar now, but to make further progress is very difficult, and it can only rely on the accumulation of bitter practice and epiphany over time." Yi Chi put away his exquisite blue steel sword and said to himself.

  This month's practice has only made him more familiar with these skills, so that he won't make mistakes in actual combat. To fully grasp them, this period of time is far from enough.

  "If only the exchange space could help me gain insight, but unfortunately, it can't." This point has always been very dissatisfying to Yi Chi. The things obtained through exchange still require him to practice hard on his own, what a misleading name for the so-called "all-ability" exchange space!

  "It can only be hoped that there will be changes in the future." Thinking of Yi Tang's increasingly human-like appearance, and his last half-sentence, Yi Chi became more and more expectant. Of course, all this depends on whether he has countless energy points to support him; without energy points, it's just wishful thinking.

  After glancing around, Yi Chi took a towel to wipe the sweat and returned to his room. Now what he wanted to do most was take a bath.

  ......

  Today is the day of the family test, and for once, Yi Chi didn't practice, but instead sat in the courtyard with the Qiu sisters slowly eating breakfast. As for the family test, it's still a while before it starts, so there's no rush.

  "Master, you must get first place!" Qiu Yu said, stirring the porridge while speaking to Yi Chi.

  "Alright, I'll definitely get it." Yi Chi said with a smile after finishing the last bit of porridge.

  "En, young master will definitely be fine." The little girl nodded vigorously and raised her small fist in support of Yi Chi.

  "Hehe, alright, you guys eat slowly, I'm leaving." After wiping his mouth with a towel, Yi Chi stood up and said.

  "Alright, young master, go for it!" Qiu Yu clenched her small fist.

  "Come on." This was Qiu Xue. After such a long time, she had also recovered and now only treated Yi Chi as an ordinary friend. Moreover, most importantly, she seemed to have stopped reporting Yi Chi's actions to Yi Hang.

  "Hehe, okay, I'll work harder." Yi Chi didn't turn around, just waved his hand.

  After Yī Chí walked away, Qiū Yǔ looked at her own sister and said: "Sister, shall we go take a look?"

  She obviously wants to go see it.

  "Never mind," Qiu Xue thought for a moment and replied, "we'd better not go. If we do, it will only distract the young master. We'll just wait here for news."

  Qiu Yu nodded slightly, as if she understood but didn't really understand. This kind of reasoning was still a bit complicated for an eleven-year-old girl like her.

  ......

  The family tests of Yi's household were all conducted on the testing platform.

  It was a huge square, with an area of about 50,000 square meters. In front of it stood a high platform made of unknown stone, more than two meters high, without any stairs. Behind the platform was a long row of seats, which were for the host and the elders.

  But now it's still empty, apparently they didn't come.

  By the time he arrived at the Yi Chi, it was already bustling with people, but the clansmen still made way for him, clearing a path wherever he walked.

  He nodded at the passing tribesmen as he walked forward, if he was still the same good-for-nothing as before, they would probably be crowding the road and not letting him pass.

  "This is the benefit of having real power." In his heart, he secretly made a decision that from now on, he must obtain the highest power, no matter what price he had to pay, even if it meant staining his own hands with blood.

  ......

  It wasn't until he walked all the way to the front row that Yi Chi finally stopped, and beside him were his several older brothers and a few unfamiliar relatives.

  "I suppose they're all juniors of the elder." Yi Chi also ignored them, standing there self-sufficiently, if not for fear of being too unusual, he really wanted to take out a chair and sit down to wait.

  Others just stood there after seeing Yi Chi came, not even greeting him or having the intention to get along with him. Since he looked down on himself, why bother to curry favor with him?

  It's just that several of the girls couldn't help but take a few more glances at Yi Chi, who looked quite handsome. Before getting the exchange space, Yi Chi was also very satisfied with his own appearance, from which it can be seen that his mother must have been a beauty, and his father, well, let's just say he wasn't exactly handsome, only majestic.

  Yi Chi nodded politely at several women, also asking if they were okay, and the women who were taken care of by Yi Chi felt very proud and smiled, after all, Yi Chi didn't pay attention to anyone else after arriving, just nodding at them, that's what it means to have face!

  Seeing this situation, other men were unhappy.

  After you came to Yichi, not only did you ignore them, but also flirted with the few women in front of them, don't you think that's too much?

  Just as they were about to have a good argument with Yi Chi, someone came from upstairs.

  The ones who came were the twelve elders and the head of the Yi family, Yi Yun. This time, even the two elders who had always stayed in the refining room and the alchemy room came, showing how much importance the Yi family placed on this type of test.

  After these thirteen people arrived, everyone in Lima quieted down.

  Yi Yun looked at the Yi family members in the field and took the lead to sit in the middle seat. After Yi Yun sat down, the twelve elders sat down too.

  At this time, a middle-aged man jumped onto the high platform.

  Yi Yun nodded at the middle-aged man.

  Then, a middle-aged man walked to the center of the high platform and took out a crystal ball with a wooden box base from above.

  "Ladies and gentlemen of the Ye family, today is once again the day of the five-yearly grand assessment. The efforts you have made over the past five years will all be witnessed by everyone here." The man looked around at the crowd in the arena.

  After his voice fell, the crowd also became excited. In these five years of cultivation, wasn't it all for today? As long as they could get a good name or make great progress, there would be rewards. At that time, they might also have the opportunity to learn Xuan-level fighting skills.

  After everyone calmed down, the man spoke again: "Today's test will be hosted by me, Yì Xīng Lóng, now."

  "He took a deep breath and said, 'Everyone line up in order, don't crowd together. You all have the opportunity to take the test, and your efforts will be known to everyone. So now, just line up for me, one line is fine.'"

  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to line up in an orderly manner, but at this time, the people who were originally standing in the first row had all gone to the back.

  Others went to the back for some reason, Yi Chi didn't know, he went to the back, that was just what he thought a master should do.

  "I wonder if they think so too." Yi Chi thought with a smile as he looked at the crowd walking together to the back.
