Chapter 32

~~

"Little Brother Du, the younger generation is inexperienced and doesn't know their own strength. Please don't take it to heart. I will definitely discipline him later. How could he be so excessive? Even if the other party is a waste, they still need to be given some face!" Ye Zhengqing bowed to Du Yuanming, his words sincere, and his tone full of apparent regret.

An eye for an eye!

Du Yuanming's face turned ashen, staring at Ye Zhengqing with venom.

However, Ye Zhengqing no longer paid attention to Du Yuanming. Instead, he looked at Ye Zhong, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. "When did Zhong'er's cultivation break through to the Fifth Rank Warrior Realm?" Indeed, Zhong'er has not let us down!

Now, the entire Ye family, the only ones who could give Ye Zhengqing a sense of comfort were Ye Zhong and Ye Wei, who had once been overlooked.

"It seems that Ye Wei helped Zhong'er perfect the White Tiger Life-Ending Technique, which led to Zhong'er's cultivation improvement!" Ye Zhengqing thought to himself. The most unaccomplished of the younger generation had given him the greatest surprise. He vaguely saw the hope of the Ye family's rise.

We must protect the Ye family's foundation for you! No matter what, the Ye family's foundation cannot be destroyed in their hands. It must be passed on to Ye Wei and Ye Zhong. Only then can their mission be considered complete. This is their responsibility and duty. The Ye family has been passed down to the present day with such a belief!

"Zhong'er is truly a pleasant surprise!" Ye Yi and others said with a smile.

"Ye Yi, thank you!" Ye Hai's eyes were brimming with tears as he spoke to Ye Yi.

Hearing Ye Hai's words, Ye Yi felt an overwhelming sense of pride. He knew that Ye Hai was referring to Ye Wei. If it weren't for Ye Wei, Ye Zhong wouldn't have been able to advance to the Fifth Rank Warrior Realm in such a short time! Who doesn't want their child to be successful? Ye Wei made him feel extremely proud.

"Big Brother Ye Zhong is really amazing! He just advanced to the Fourth Rank Warrior Realm not long ago, and now he's already a Fifth Rank Warrior!" The younger generation of the Ye family looked at Ye Zhong with admiration and respect.

"Scram!" On the training ground, Ye Zhong glanced at Du Xianhong, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, and kicked him out of the training ground with a cold expression.

"Good, very good!"

Du Yuanming snorted, his sleeves flaring out, and a gust of wind swept out, catching Du Xianhong. His face was ashen, and his eyes were cold and terrifying.

"Han Yue, it's your turn. The Ye family has a rare Fifth Rank Warrior. Play with him well!" Du Yuanming glanced at the pitiful Du Xianhong, and a surge of killing intent rose in his heart. His low, icy voice slowly emerged from his throat.

Du Yuanming hadn't originally planned to have Du Han Yue step in, thinking that Du Xianhong and a few other Fifth Rank Warriors would be enough to sweep through the Ye family's younger generation. But he never expected that Ye Zhong had somehow broken through to the Fifth Rank Warrior Realm, severely injuring Du Xianhong. In his anger, he decided to have the strongest of the Du family's younger generation, Du Han Yue, step in directly.

"Han Yue, on the training ground, you must take your opponent seriously. Don't hold back. If anything happens, I will take responsibility. Understand?" Du Yuanming glanced coldly at Ye Zhong on the training ground, his killing intent already aroused. The latter part of his sentence was what he truly meant to say.

"Understood!"

Du Han Yue, dressed in a white shirt, nodded heavily, her eyes narrowing into slits. Her pale face was filled with killing intent. She then stomped her foot and leaped onto the training ground.

"Du Han Yue, the strongest of the Du family's younger generation, a Sixth Rank Warrior!" Looking at Du Han Yue on the training ground, the mood of the Ye family members became extremely heavy.

The gap between the Fifth Rank Warrior Realm and the Sixth Rank Warrior Realm, although not as large as between the Fourth and Fifth Rank, was still significant in terms of mental power and primordial energy. A Sixth Rank Warrior was much stronger than a Fifth Rank Warrior.

In terms of cultivation, Ye Zhong was inferior to Du Han Yue. In terms of divine techniques, the Du family's techniques were certainly no weaker than the Ye family's. Ye Zhong's chances of winning were extremely slim...

"Zhong'er!" Ye Hai, who was usually strict, looked at his child on the training ground with unmistakable worry. The Ye family and the Du family were almost at odds. If Ye Zhong lost, his fate would be no better than Ye Xuan's.

"Ye Zhong!"

"Big Brother Ye Zhong!"

Whether it was the elders like Ye Yi and Ye Yu, or the younger generation of the Ye family, the clan members looked at Ye Zhong with worry. It wasn't that they didn't believe in Ye Zhong, but Du Han Yue was too strong.

Among the younger generation of the entire Qingyue City, Du Han Yue could easily rank in the top five!

On the training ground, Ye Zhong and Du Han Yue, the strongest of the younger generations of the Ye and Du families, stood facing each other. Ye Zhong wore a light green robe, while Du Han Yue wore a white shirt.

Without a doubt, both were geniuses. Wherever geniuses went, they attracted attention. The people of the Ye family, the Du family, the city lord's general Zhou Wu, the Dong He Chamber of Commerce's Dong He, and the onlookers, all their gazes were focused on the two.

The duel between Ye Zhong and Du Han Yue not only concerned the honor of the Du and Ye families but also whether the Ye family could protect the ancestral land left by their ancestors!

The duel between two geniuses was already enough to attract attention, and with such a high stake, everyone was even more eager to see the outcome.

"Ye Zhong is just a Fifth Rank Warrior, and he has no comparison with Du Han Yue. Even if Ye Zhong were a Sixth Rank Warrior, he would still not be a match for Du Han Yue, let alone being just a Fifth Rank Warrior!" The city lord's general Zhou Wu, looking at the proud Du Han Yue on the training ground, said with a smile.

"Unless it's a Seventh Rank Warrior, with Han Yue's strength, it would be hard to find an equal among the younger generation of Qingyue City!" Dong He nodded in agreement.

Almost everyone present did not have high hopes for Ye Zhong, as Du Han Yue was simply too strong. Du Han Yue was well-known in Qingyue City, and his fame was earned in a battle six months ago.

In that battle, Du Han Yue defeated three Sixth Rank Warriors!

For Ye Zhong to challenge Du Han Yue and win was simply impossible!

"Ye Zhong, right?" The discussions of the crowd echoed around the training ground, reaching Du Han Yue's ears. The corners of her mouth curled up, and the confidence on her pale face grew even more.

"明知故问!" Ye Zhong coldly snorted, watching Du Han Yue with caution, his brows furrowed, and his expression serious. Du Han Yue was a Sixth Rank Warrior and an outstanding one at that.

His cultivation was only at the Fifth Rank Warrior Realm, so he had to be cautious!

If it weren't for Ye Wei perfecting the White Tiger Life-Ending Technique, which raised its rank to the lower tier of the Mystic Rank, Ye Zhong would have no way to fight back. The White Tiger Life-Ending Technique was his biggest trump card!

"Xianhong is my cousin. You hit him 78 times and kicked him 16 times, breaking six of his ribs. I will definitely settle this score."

"I will return 78 punches and 16 kicks. If you can't withstand it, don't blame me for your death!" Du Han Yue smiled coldly, took a step forward, and her shoulder-length hair fluttered in the wind. Her white shirt rustled, and her aura suddenly became fierce, like a bloodthirsty beast baring its fangs.

"想赢我，没那么容易!" Ye Zhong also took a step forward, his foot landing, and an invisible wave of energy spread out, stirring up the dust on the training ground. He faced Du Han Yue head-on, his aura not weakening in the slightest.

"我倒要看看，你有多大的能耐!" Du Han Yue's face suddenly turned cold, and mental power and primordial energy surged out. Her fingers moved in a blur, drawing 83 divine patterns in an instant.

The divine patterns, glowing with a hazy light, surrounded Du Han Yue, obscuring her figure and making her appear blurry.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Du Han Yue, through the divine patterns, looked at Ye Zhong with cold eyes, snorted, and the primordial energy suddenly flowed through the 83 divine patterns. A faint shadow of a blood-colored ancient knife gradually appeared.

"灵阶高级神通，幻血刀影!"

This divine technique was a well-known technique of the Du family, a peak-level high-tier Spirit Rank technique with extremely terrifying power.

Whoosh!

Du Han Yue extended her finger, pointing at Ye Zhong. The blood-colored knife shadow trembled and then shot out, leaving a long trail of blood as it fiercely slashed toward Ye Zhong.

The sharp aura enveloped the entire training ground. Where the blood-colored knife shadow passed, a deep furrow was gouged into the hard ground, a sight that made one's scalp tingle.

The knife shadow formed by the divine technique, though not a real knife, was even sharper, more terrifying, and harder to trace!

"Hmph!" Ye Zhong snorted, and divine patterns quietly appeared. He stepped on the water wave, and at the moment the blood-colored knife shadow slashed down, he moved three meters to the side, avoiding the sharp edge of the knife shadow.

Water Wave Step!

This divine technique, after being perfected by Ye Wei, was also a peak-level high-tier Spirit Rank technique. When Ye Zhong used it to the fullest, his speed was astonishing, and he seemed to become a blur.
