Great Bamboo Peak's Strength!

Great Bamboo Peak.

Before Ye Xuan could even greet him, he heard a "clang."

The wooden door, which seemed incredibly fragile at that moment, was shoved open violently.

A powerful wave of energy, carrying dust, rushed towards them.

Song Daren, his face beaming, strode across the threshold.

"Master!"

"I..."

Huh?

Song Daren's foot hung in mid-air, not daring to step down.

His eyes widened, staring at Tian Buyi, who was so close their noses were almost touching.

Master's posture...

Was he trying to eavesdrop?

Tian Buyi reacted swiftly.

The moment their eyes met, he flicked his sleeve with the hand he had behind his back, his ears instantly returning to their place as he straightened his back.

The astonishment on his plump face vanished in an instant.

It was replaced by a look of profound seriousness.

"Ahem!"

Tian Buyi coughed heavily.

He glanced forty-five degrees upwards, as if studying the celestial phenomena of Great Bamboo Peak.

"Daren."

"Your Master happened to be passing by..."

"Good. My usual teachings were not in vain."

As he spoke, Tian Buyi naturally reached out and patted Song Daren on the shoulder.

Ye Xuan, standing behind them, grimaced.

That acting...

Oscar owed Tian Fatty an award.

"Master!"

"Your disciple has not failed your trust, I've broken through to Yuqing Layer Six!"

Song Daren was an honest man.

Without a second thought, he knelt down with a thud, cracking the floor tiles.

His shout was full of vigor, powerful enough to reach Heaven-Piercing Peak.

Although Tian Buyi had anticipated this, hearing it with his own ears, the flesh on his plump face couldn't help but tremble twice.

Yuqing Layer Six!

Besides himself, Su Ru, and Seventh, Great Bamboo Peak finally had someone who could hold their own!

Just then, the west wing exploded.

It literally exploded.

"Boom!"

The window paper was shredded by the blast, flying everywhere like snow.

He Dazhi, fanning himself with his tattered fan, floated out of the shattered window with a calm expression.

"Master."

"Your disciple was fortunate, I've reached the peak of Yuqing Layer Four."

Immediately after, Lu Daxin and Du Bishu's doors were also violently pushed open.

"Master! I'm Layer Four too!"

"Me too, I can control objects now!"

Du Bishu was as excited as a monkey.

The three dice he always held in his hand were spinning chaotically above his head, controlled by him.

Seeing this.

Tian Buyi's upturned lips became even harder to suppress.

"Daddy!"

A clear, sweet voice drowned out everyone else's chatter.

A red ribbon shot up into the sky like a spirit snake, drawing a brilliant fiery red trajectory across the night sky.

Tian Ling'er arrived on the ribbon, her sleeves fluttering, like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal realm.

However, her landing posture was a bit wild, as she directly bounced in front of Tian Buyi.

"Daddy!"

"I've broken through too!"

"I'm also at Yuqing Layer Four! I can fly!"

Tian Ling'er's small face was flushed, her eyes shining like stars in the sky.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

A flicker of astonishment flashed in Tian Buyi's eyes.

If he remembered correctly.

His own little devil girl had only recently broken through to Yuqing Realm Layer Three.

And with one Foundation Replenishing Pill, she had directly reached Yuqing Realm Layer Four?

Was the effect of five years of cultivation so significant?

"Um..."

"Master, I think everyone's stomachs are growling. How about we eat first?"

Looking at Tian Buyi, who was frozen in place.

Ye Xuan spoke with a smile, saying to Tian Buyi.

Hearing Ye Xuan's words.

Tian Buyi finally snapped back to reality.

He forced himself to put on a stern face, trying his best to calm down.

"Mm."

"Since everyone has broken through, don't just stand here."

"Eat!"

Dining hall.

The spread tonight was exceptionally lavish.

Whether it was an illusion or not, even the vegetarian dishes seemed to be glowing.

Around the long table, it was packed full.

Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan sat at the far end.

The two little ones hunched their necks, their eyes wide.

Looking at their senior brothers and sisters, who were all beaming with rosy complexions, they felt as if they had stumbled into some immortal gathering.

The powerful oppressive aura made them not even dare to touch their chopsticks.

"Eat!"

"What are you all standing around for?"

"Daren."

"Go get that jar of Drunken Immortal Brew I've been hoarding!"

Tian Buyi sat at the head of the table, waving his hand grandly, with an air of commanding the world.

"Master."

"That's the one you buried for fifty years..."

Song Daren was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

He had been coveting that jar of Drunken Immortal Brew for more than a year or two.

"Just go get it if I told you to!"

"Stop with the nonsense!"

Tian Buyi glared at Song Daren.

"Right away!"

Song Daren zipped into the back hall, moving so fast he stirred up a gust of wind.

"Buyi."

"Even though we're celebrating today, you should still drink less."

Su Ru sat beside Tian Buyi, placing a piece of bamboo shoot on his plate.

Though she was advising him to moderate his drinking, everyone could hear the indulgence in her tone.

"Celebrating!"

"Of course, we're celebrating!"

"Back in the day, our Great Bamboo Peak was sparsely populated, and our cultivation..."

"And now."

"Except for the eighth and ninth disciples."

"Everyone else has at least reached the fourth level of the Yuqing Realm."

"When the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament begins."

"Just you watch me slap them in the face."

"..."

Tian Buyi chuckled.

The fat on his face crinkled into a smile.

"Especially Cang Song from Dragon Head Peak!"

"He's always got his nose in the air, looking down on everyone!"

"This time, in the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, let's see if he dares to act arrogant with me!"

Upon mentioning that name.

Tian Buyi's voice suddenly rose by eight octaves.

"Eldest Brother."

"You're at the sixth level of Yuqing now, so push yourself and try to break into the top four!"

"If you can defeat that brat Qi Hao, your Master will reward you with the Crimson Flame Sword!"

Afterward.

Tian Buyi's gaze shifted, landing on Song Daren, who had just entered.

He didn't make any demands of Ye Xuan.

The reason was simple.

No matter how strong Qi Hao was, he only had the cultivation of the Yuqing Realm.

But Ye Xuan's cultivation had already broken through to the Shangqing Realm.

Having Ye Xuan deal with Qi Hao would be as easy as lifting a finger.

In Tian Buyi's mind.

Ye Xuan was a surefire champion for this Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

"Ahem..."

"Master, Senior Brother Qi Hao is a prodigy of Dragon Head Peak, and I've heard he's already..."

Hearing Tian Buyi's words.

Song Daren's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"Already what nonsense!"

"Don't boost others' morale and dampen your own!"

"You're at the sixth level, and he's at most the sixth or seventh level. What's there to be afraid of!"

Seeing Song Daren's reaction.

Tian Buyi slammed his bowl onto the table, reprimanding him unhappily.

Ye Xuan buried his head in his rice, chuckling inwardly.

Master was getting a bit too carried away.

Qi Hao's cultivation was likely more than just the seventh level.

However.

There were still a few years until the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament.

If I could refine some more pills to boost cultivation.

Perhaps Senior Brother Song Daren could suppress Qi Hao with a bit of planning.

After three rounds of drinks.

The atmosphere grew more lively.

Looking at this group of people, happy as fools.

A warmth bloomed in Ye Xuan's heart.

This was the feeling of home.

Suddenly.

Wu Dayi, sitting opposite Ye Xuan, suddenly put down his wine bowl.

He hesitated for a moment, then stood up.

His face was a little flushed, unsure if it was from the alcohol or nervousness.

"Master."

"This disciple... this disciple wants to go down the mountain to train."
