C27 Cant keep a low profile

Everyone turned around and saw that Ye Lingtian and an old man had arrived at the training ground. These words came from the very old man.

This person was the number one expert of the Ye Family, the Second Elder Ye Zhiqiu, whose cultivation had reached the Third Empyrean of Martial General.

A few days ago, the Ye family was in a state of internal strife. The Second Elder had been sent away by the Great Elder to deal with the family's internal affairs. Now, he had rushed back, but everything was over, and the Ye Family had returned to its peace.

"Young Patriarch is right. Now our Ye Family has gone through a storm, which our vitality has been greatly reduced. So our overall strength is no longer as strong as before. Therefore, you need to truly grow up to support our family. Our Ye Family can't afford to waste that much energy."

The Second Elder was only in his sixties. But because of his deep cultivation base, he looked like was only in his forties. His gaze was sharp, and the deterrent force was no need to be demonstrated by anger. His words deeply imprinted into the hearts of the young men present.

"Young Patriarch." The Second Elder bowed towards Ye Yang.

In Ye Yang's impression, the Second Elder was an upright person, and was rarely polite to anyone. But now, he saluted Ye Yang, so Ye Yang quickly returned the greetings. "I cannot afford your respect. I am not worthy of the Second Elder's salute."

The Second Elder shook his head. "Time has changed, and our Ye Family is in a precarious situation. We must have someone to step forward and shoulder this burden, and this burden belongs only to Young Patriarch!"

The current Ye family had experienced the Great Elder's betrayal. As a result, the Great Elder and the Fourth Elder were executed, and caused many family experts to die, and it resulted in the strength of Ye Family had been reduced by more than half.

As for the youth of the Ye Family, they had yet to grow up, and it gave rise to the lack of the backbone force of the entire family, Hence the internal and external troubles that the Second Elder had mentioned were not alarmist rumors.

"Yesterday, I heard Patriarch mention that the Lord Mayor wanted to recommend the Young Patriarch to enter the Tianwu Academy. This is a great thing for our Ye Family. Yet even if you and Qingxuan are counted in, our Ye Family only has two candidates, and I’m not sure whether you both can pass the test." The Second Elder's expression was a little grim.

"Now, for the survival of our family, our Ye family will give up a portion of our assets to nurture you. You no longer need to worry about the Spirit Gathering Liquid, and you can use it to cultivate in the future." The Second Elder's words immediately made everyone's eyes light up.

Previously, they would only be able to get one bottle of Spirit Gathering Liquid every month, but now they had enough, so they couldn't help but be excited. The family could be considered to have spent a lot of money, after all, all the family’s funds would be used to buy Spirit Gathering Liquid. It was also the result of discussions among the Elders. If a family didn’t have enough strength, it cannot assure the safe of family assets.

Ignoring the hot-blooded youngsters, the Second Elder said to Ye Yang, "Young Patriarch, I heard that you wanted to test your strength, so it's a good opportunity for us to broad our eyes."

When the Second Elder returned, all he could hear were the legends about Ye Yang. For example, killing warriors and enemies, so he really wanted to see what surprise Ye Yang would give him right now.

"Emm …" Ye Yang was clearly embarrassed. He had initially wanted to secretly take the test, but he did not expect that he would receive the attention of many other people, hence he felt depressed.

"Yang'er, don't worry about the test. After the last baptism, our Ye Family has never been more united."

Seeing Ye Yang hesitate, Ye Lingtian said, "Besides, the Second Elder is right. Right now our Ye Family is at a life and death juncture, so if we do not have a genius supporting us, our Ye Family will really decline."

“Ugh, so you want me to be the spokesperson. This job really isn't easy. You know, the first one to take the lead will always be beaten.”

Being forced into a corner, Ye Yang spread his hands and said, "Fine, father, I’ll do whatever you ask to do. In any case, I can’t reject."

Seeing that Ye Yang was unwilling, Ye Lingtian unhappily patted Ye Yang and said, "Could it be that your father will harm you? Stop talking nonsense and quickly take the test. Remember, if you dare to hide your strength again, I'll punish you."

Ye Lingtian also wanted to know how strong Ye Yang actually was. He himself was unable to deeply know Ye Yang. Could anyone imagine that a person at the Sixth Empyrean of Spirit Condensation was able to kill a warrior-level martial cultivator and soon bear a strike from a martial general? Who dare to expect such a battle skill?

Knowing that he would not be able to escape today, Ye Yang walked to the testing stone under the limelight. He calmed himself and began to accumulate strength.

"I wonder what result Ye Yang can achieve."

"It's really hard to say. A martial cultivator's strength is normally between four hundred to five hundred kilograms. Someone who can reach six kilograms can already be considered to have extraordinary talent."

"But think about it, how could the power displayed in the plaza by Young Patriarch be something that normal martial cultivator can possess?"

Amidst the discussion of the youths, Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes, and stretched out his right hand, slowly clenching his fist.

Everyone present held their breath, staring at Ye Yang's fist, and afraid that they would miss a single detail.

However, Ye Yang's fist did not move at all. Just when everyone was about to suffocate, Ye Yang turned his face towards everyone and smiled: "Are you ready?"

Everyone has been holding their breath for a long time, which made their heads were about to go numb. So these words from him nearly made everyone faint.

"You brat, your skin is itchy, right? Hurry up!" A roar came out of Ye Lingtian's mouth.

Ye Yang twitched his mouth, “What's the point of having such a big reaction? I haven't called yet.”

He took a deep breath, and the entire body started to move, even though there was no wind. A gust of air slowly surrounded Ye Yang, making his long hair and clothes flutter. And, under this situation, handsome Ye Yang became more handsome and brave.

"Wow!" Cousin Ye Yang is so handsome. "A young girl could not help but call out.

However, before she could finish yelling, another girl had already covered her mouth, being afraid that she would disturb Ye Yang.

With a low shout, all of the Ye Family disciples present trembled. Ye Yang took half a step forward with his left leg and swung out his right fist with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

With a loud sound, even the ground under his feet trembled. Stripes of light flashed on the 3.3 meter high testing rock. In an instant, three red stripes and two blue stripes lit up.

Silence reigned. Even Ye Lingtian and the Second Elder looked at each other and saw the deep shock and joy in each other's eyes. Even though they were experienced and knowledgeable, they could not help but be shocked.

It took a full three breaths of time for everyone to react, and the entire scene immediately became chaotic.

"Heavens, am I not awake yet? Can I even dream during the day?"

"Three thousand! Three thousand!"

"1600 kilograms! How is that possible! Even the peak of warrior level is still not able to reach such strength. "

Everyone looked at Ye Yang as if he was a monster. Most of their eyes were filled with reverence. Such powerful person was actually around themselves.

Seeing this result, Ye Yang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He could finally cultivate the Dragon-elephant Dark Golden Body at ease.

Ye Lingtian walked over to Ye Yang and laughed, "Brat, you really gave me a big surprise. Very good, the rise of the Ye Family is all up to you."

Then, he used a voice that only two people could hear, "Brat, do you become more and more disrespectful to your father? I told you to do your best, but you actually dare to lie to me!"

"Of course not, I did my best," Ye Yang said while grinning. Although he had put on airs for a long time, in reality, he was holding back, but he did not expect that it would be seen through.

"Stop bullshitting. You only used 80% of your strength in that strike just now. Do you really think that Second Elder and I were too old to tell your holding back?"

Ye Lingtian said snappily, but for thinking of Ye Yang’s prestige in front of the public, he would have slapped him right away. “Do you think your father is that gullible?”

"Dad, why do you have me reveal all my strength? In the martial arts world, there's no one who doesn't get stabbed. If I expose my trump card too early, aren't you afraid that your son will be chopped to death? "Ye Yang said somewhat angrily.

"Brat, you've become capable, right? You are daring to teach your father a lesson? The more potential you have now, the more beneficial it will be to our Ye Family. With your Uncle Li in Eight Desolations City, no one can touch you even for a second."

"As long as your potential is great enough, you'll definitely be safe even if you're in the Tianwu Academy. It's not a good habit to hide everything. Youngsters should be in high spirits and in high profile!"

“It should be said that we went mad together. I do not rely on any other person.”

After speaking these words, only seeing Ye Yang curled his lips, Ye Lingtian knew that this brat would not be convinced but he has no other way. He said, "You try it again in a while, and this time you should use the battle skills. Don’t hold something back. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, I see." Ye Yang said listlessly.

"Let me tell you. If you dare continue to lie to me, I will have your regrets. The Gu Family from Southern City came yesterday to reveal that they want to marry their daughter into our Ye Family. I see that you are not young anymore, so you can have your engagement to her."

"What! Are you joking? I'm only fifteen, how can we get engaged so early? Furthermore, you should know the relationship between me and Yu Qing, right?" Ye Yang shouted as if his tail was stepped on.

"What does this have to do with me? In any case, there are plenty of men with a wife and many concubines. As for who's the wife and who's the concubine, you’ll solve it yourself." Ye Lingtian said indifferently.

“Fine. Fine. I’ll reveal all my strength. Ok? Please do not think out those bad methods to let me surrender.” Thinking carefully, Ye Yang reckoned that his father was forcing him to use his full strength. But he also knew that if he really dared to deceive him, perhaps his father would really dare to find a wife to deceive his son.

"I'll count you as you know my intention." Ye Lingtian laughed.

Ye Yang said, "Dad, you are truly insidious."

Ye Lingtian "…"

When Ye Lingtian gloomily returned to the Second Elder's side, Ye Yang had already once again arrived at the front of the testing stone.

"Eh? Why does he test again?"

"Hush, don't talk. I heard the Patriarch say that he wanted Ye Yang to use the battle skills to test himself."

Ye Yang, who was full of depression, bother to hide strength anymore. In an instant, he raised the Genuine Qi to its peak and shouted loudly.

"Stone-Breaking Fist!"

"Boom!"

This time, the sound was even louder, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of something shattering. Wave after wave of air mixed with dust flew in all directions.

Some of the Ye Family disciples who were standing closer to the testing stone were blown away by the shockwave, who were like gourds rolling on the ground.

When the dust gradually dispersed and their line of sight became clearer, the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air, and was unable to speak.

"Is this real?"
