“Your values follow your eyes!” As Elder Liuli flattered Ye Feng like a bootlicker with no bottom line, everyone felt a trace of disdain.
“Just because he looks like your dead grandson?”
“Is that worth groveling like this?”
Still, most of it was jealousy.
Elder Liuli ignored their thoughts.
Seeing that Ye Feng remained unmoved, she quickly said, “A personal disciple in Moonshade Sect holds immense status. They can command stewards, inner disciples, outer disciples, and servant disciples. Their authority is second only to the sect master, the Saintess, and the ten great elders!”
Hearing this, even the patriarchs of various families from the older generation were moved. Although they were influential figures, their status in Martial Refinement Commandery couldn’t even compare to an inner disciple of Moonshade Sect.
Yet in the face of such authority that others dreamed of, Ye Feng simply shook his head, “I’m naturally indifferent. I have no interest in fighting for power or influence.”
Elder Liuli felt a hint of disappointment, but quickly adjusted her expression and added, “The Martial Arts Pavilion of Moonshade Sect holds techniques from low-grade Yellow-tier to mid-grade Earth-tier. As a personal disciple, you may browse freely.”
In the Endless Continent, martial techniques are ranked from highest to lowest as Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow tiers.
Each tier is further divided into high, mid, and low grades.
Faced with the temptation of a mid-grade Earth-tier martial technique, Elder Liuli believed no martial artist could refuse.
Even Ye Nanshan on the side grew excited. The strongest martial art in the Ye Family, Raging Wave Palm, was only mid-grade Profound-tier. If Elder Liuli weren’t present, Ye Nanshan would’ve pinned Ye Feng down and forced him to agree.
But Ye Feng still slowly shook his head at the offer of Earth-tier techniques, “Not interested.”
After all, a low-grade Heaven-tier technique in the Lying-Flat Shop cost only 1,000 Lying-Flat Points. Why would Ye Feng care about an Earth-tier one?
Watching Ye Feng being so ungrateful, Ye Nanshan gritted his teeth in fury and nearly strangled him. Elder Liuli also felt another pang of disappointment.
If lofty status and powerful martial techniques couldn’t tempt Ye Feng, then the third offer likely wouldn’t move him either. It would be hard to take him in as a disciple.
Still, with no other option, Elder Liuli braced herself and said, “A personal disciple can receive 100 mid-grade spirit stones each month!”
One hundred mid-grade spirit stones meant he could recycle them into Lying-Flat Points!
“I accept,” Ye Feng said without hesitation. “However, I have two conditions.”
Elder Liuli, who had already given up hope, was instantly overjoyed and quickly said, “Go ahead!”
Ye Feng nodded and said directly, “I want an advance of three months’ worth of mid-grade spirit stones. Also, I want to stay in the Ye Family.”
Hearing this, Elder Liuli hesitated briefly before responding, “The spirit stones are not an issue. However, personal disciples are only allowed to leave the sect and cultivate on their own once they’ve reached the Martial Spirit Realm.”
This rule was indeed mentioned in the original novel. The reason was obvious—fear that personal disciples would die prematurely if they left.
Seeing Elder Liuli’s troubled face, Ye Feng didn’t waste words. He simply held out his hand, “Give me the spirit stones first.”
Elder Liuli didn’t hesitate at all. She immediately handed over a cloth pouch filled with three hundred bean-sized mid-grade spirit stones.
Ye Feng glanced at the deep blue spirit stones packed tightly in the pouch and tucked it away. In reality, they were instantly recycled into the Lying-Flat System.
[Congratulations to the host for recycling 300 mid-grade spirit stones. Lying-Flat Points acquired.]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Ye Feng finally smiled with satisfaction. Then, he chose to level up without hesitation.
[Consumed 100 Lying-Flat Points. Congratulations to the host for advancing to the early stage of Martial Warrior Realm.]
At that moment, Ye Feng felt his entire body lighten. His previously blocked meridians were suddenly opened by a surge of powerful force, flowing smoothly. His dantian, originally the size of a fist, expanded threefold. Threads of spiritual Qi seeped in through his pores, traveled through his meridians, and gathered in his dantian.
“Nice!” Ye Feng felt warm and relaxed all over.
It was so satisfying, even more than spending half a month’s wages discussing life with Miss No.96 before he transmigrated.
In the small courtyard, Elder Liuli and the others were stunned. No one expected Ye Feng to break his shackles and step into the Martial Warrior Realm at that moment.
But no one was particularly shocked either. A nineteen-year-old breaking into the early Martial Warrior Realm was rare, but not unheard of. Among the many younger generation talents present, two had already reached the mid-stage Martial Warrior Realm. This chapter is updated first at novelping . com.
“What’s the big deal? She probably could’ve broken through long ago but waited to impress Elder Liuli.”
“I broke through from the late Martial Apprentice Realm to Martial Warrior in just three years. This guy took seven. What’s he got on me?”
The two mid-stage Martial Warrior talents muttered angrily. However, due to Elder Liuli’s presence, they only dared to whisper, afraid she might hear.
But in the next moment, under everyone’s shocked gaze, Ye Feng’s aura kept rising.
Mid-stage Martial Warrior Realm!
Late-stage Martial Warrior Realm!
Early-stage Martial Spirit Realm!
Only when he reached the early-stage Martial Spirit Realm did Ye Feng’s breakthrough finally stop.
At this point, not just the patriarchs, even Elder Liuli and the reincarnated Saintess Yue Wu were dumbfounded.
They had seen breakthroughs before, but never someone breaking through two major realms in one day.
To be precise, it hadn’t even taken a minute.
“So this is the power of fate? As expected of the son of fate, Heaven’s own child. It’s totally unreasonable!”
Yue Wu’s eyes shifted slightly, but she didn’t seem too surprised. The others, however, were completely stunned.
Someone even pinched their companion’s thigh hard just to make sure they weren’t dreaming. Only after receiving a solid slap in the face from that same companion and feeling the pain did the crowd finally come to their senses.
This… was real.
At that moment, everyone looked at Ye Feng with awe and a trace of fear. If they were geniuses, then Ye Feng was a monster. A peerless monster.
Looking at the Lying-Flat Points he had spent, Ye Feng felt a pang of heartache. Thankfully, after breaking into the Martial Spirit Realm, his dantian had expanded again by another twofold. The spiritual Qi in his dantian could now flow backward through his meridians, coating his body and being used for attacks.
At the same time, as the spiritual Qi surged, the warm sensation throughout his body made Ye Feng addicted.
Lifting his head, Ye Feng looked at Elder Liuli, who was still frozen in place, and said directly, “I’m already in the Martial Spirit Realm now. I can stay in the Ye Family, right? Also, from now on, don’t come looking for me if there’s nothing. And even if there is something, don’t come looking for me!”
