Ye Family Training Room.
The Ye Family's Training Room was enormous, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people practicing within it. Aside from several hundred Ye Family disciples, the remaining several thousand were all guests of the Ye Family.
Guests could usually only practice around the outer perimeter. Only a select few with especially close ties to the Ye Family could cultivate alongside Ye Family disciples in the inner areas, or even the core region.
After Ye Feng gulped down several mouthfuls of spiritual medicine, he soon arrived at the family's Training Room.
The Training Room was packed at this time, with everyone from burly middle-aged men to children of three or five years old.
Ye Feng strolled from the outer perimeter toward the Core Disciple area. Along the way, whether they were Hakka disciples or Ye Family clansmen, all greeted him warmly. Several voluptuous Hakka women even cast flirtatious glances his way.
Ye Feng was long accustomed to such treatment. Though he was only eight years old and his Bone Structure was poor, he had a good father.
In his memories, whether among the Hakka or the family disciples, few people had ever been at odds with him. Nor did anyone dare mock him over his Bone Structure.
There had only been one exception. When he was five, a clansman from the Ye Family's Direct Lineage had badmouthed him once. But that Bear Child had soon been dragged home by his parents and given a thorough beating.
It was not as though there was no competition within the Ye Family. The family even encouraged competition over minor matters. But when it came to major questions of right and wrong, family disciples had to know where they stood. As for those who could not tell straight from crooked, the Law Enforcement Hall would deal with them.
Besides, many things could not be made too ugly out in the open.
Ye Feng soon arrived in the Core Disciple area. There were far fewer people here, and even fewer around his age.
After all, they were children. Even if their parents urged them on, children were naturally playful, and few would worry about the future.
After reaching the core area, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance and quickly walked toward that youth.
The youth was Ye Mingyue, the only Direct Lineage disciple of the Ye Family who had ever mocked him. Ye Mingyue wore a bright yellow training uniform, with a Core Disciple jade pendant tied at his waist. Several metal weights hung from his hands. His chubby little face was utterly serious as he practiced the Mountain Shaking Fist that Ye Feng knew so well.
Ever since Ye Mingyue had received his first double beating from his parents at the age of five, they had taken him to Ye Feng's home to apologize and make peace. Over the following three years, the two met often and spent more and more time together. Gradually, they discovered that their temperaments suited each other remarkably well, and they naturally became friends.
When Ye Mingyue, who was practicing, heard footsteps, he looked up and saw Ye Feng. He ignored him and continued practicing the Mountain Shaking Fist.
The Mountain Shaking Fist was currently the most suitable boxing technique for Ye Family disciples in the Body Tempering Realm and Blood Transformation Realm to temper their physiques. Thus, most Direct Lineage disciples of the Ye Family knew this set of fist techniques. It was practical, and its body-tempering effects were excellent. It could also speed up progress through the Body Tempering Realm. Before reaching Perfected Mastery, one only needed to train diligently to continue improving. In theory, anyone could cultivate it to Initial Mastery, or even Initial Proficiency. The only difference was in comprehension, and thus the time required.
To bring the Mountain Shaking Fist to the Perfected Mastery Realm, however, one had to comprehend a trace of Mountain Shaking Fist Intent before crossing that threshold.
Ye Mingyue was currently at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Realm. Paired with the Mountain Shaking Fist, his training yielded the best results and would allow him to enter the Blood Transformation Realm sooner.
Ye Feng only knew that Ye Mingyue's Talent was not bad, enough to rank among the top three of their generation. However, he had never asked exactly what Ye Mingyue's Bone Structure was.
Yet now, looking at the blue dot above Ye Mingyue's head that no one else could see, Ye Feng noticed it was different from those he had seen above others. Most of the people he had encountered before had orange-red dots, while a small number had red ones, and those were especially faint. Ye Feng could sense that he was unable to inspect them.
When he saw the blue dot above Ye Mingyue's head this time, Ye Feng also immediately understood that he could inspect Ye Mingyue's information. Curious, he checked it at once.

After reading Ye Mingyue's attributes, Ye Feng could only sigh at the gap between people.
He waited until Ye Mingyue had finished a set of punches before approaching. Before he could speak, Ye Mingyue noticed some details he had previously overlooked upon seeing Ye Feng come closer. He said in surprise, "Feng, how did you become almost as tall as me? The last time we met, I was nearly half a head taller than you. How come you look like you're about to catch up to me now? Why have you changed so much? Did your mother feed you livestock feed?"
