Ye King's Mansion

Rumble, rumble, rumble--

The saber swung faster and faster, heavier and heavier, the great bell on the sixth floor constantly booming with explosions.

Ye Qiu was immersed in it, truly finding the right method, finding the direction of that surge of energy.

Finally, he put down the saber and began practicing his Fist Technique, his fists also making the great bell resonate.

Every punch was incredibly domineering!

Of course, compared to the images in his mind, he was still far from it, not just in comprehension, but also in Cultivation.

After all, one punch, one saber strike from them could shatter a terrifying mountain and crack the void.

"Qi and Blood are amazing!" It wasn't until dawn that Ye Qiu finally stopped punching, having exhausted everything.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the seventh floor of the Gravity Tower, and a figure walked down.

Ye Qiu looked over, and the person approached.

This was a tall man, a head and a half taller than Ye Qiu, with dark skin.

Big eyes, a high nose bridge, giving him a very three-dimensional look, coupled with a head of naturally curly black hair, this person looked full of explosive power, carrying a wildness, yet also an inexplicable attraction.

He smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Wu Xiaokai, I'm sixteen years old, and I came as a freshman three months ago."

Ye Qiu stared at the Big Guy, then smiled and asked, "Are you a Special Recruit?"

These few days were the main recruitment period for Nanzhou Academy, so being able to come three months early could only mean he was a Special Recruit.

The Academy also had some Special Recruit spots each year, and of course, those who were specially recruited were all incredibly monstrous talents.

None of them were simple.

The Big Guy nodded, "When I was killing demons in the mountains, my teacher noticed me and brought me to the Academy."

Ye Qiu nodded. The Big Guy continued, "Like you, I'm also a Body Cultivator, with thirteen thousand Qi and Blood."

Ye Qiu: "..."

He sized up the Big Guy. Although he was tall, he wasn't older than himself, and his Qi and Blood were thirteen thousand?

Ye Qiu's Qi and Blood had only just broken through one hundred thousand.

This kid was amazing!

No wonder he was a Special Recruit!

He praised him sincerely.

Wu Xiaokai waved his hand, "I started Body Refining when I was three years old, bathing in demon blood, enduring the wind and sun, and going through a lot of torment, which is why I achieved this result."

"But you, so fair and clean, with smooth skin and tender flesh, yet your Qi and Blood are so terrifying, you are the truly amazing one!"

Ye Qiu smiled, "Just so-so."

The Big Guy asked, "What's your name?"

Ye Qiu replied, "Ye Qiu, seventeen years old."

The Big Guy smiled, "We're both Body Cultivators, let's exchange pointers more often in the future? There are very few Body Cultivators in Nanzhou Academy, only a handful."

Ye Qiu said, "Okay!"

The two of them walked out of the Gravity Tower together. Outside, Wu Xiaokai waved goodbye to Ye Qiu and headed off in the opposite direction.

Ye Qiu walked towards Green Moon Mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, several people in front of him looked over.

Ye Qiu glanced at them, then continued forward expressionlessly. At this moment, a man in white among them stepped forward.

He looked very amiable and smiled, "Little brother Ye Qiu."

Ye Qiu stared at him, "Do I know you?"

The man said, "Ye Yi!"

Ye Qiu's eyes flickered. He knew this person; they had had a decent relationship when he was young.

"Is there something?"

The man smiled, "The family head sent me to invite you back."

Ye Qiu waved his hand, "I've already made myself clear."

After speaking, he walked directly towards the mountain peak.

Ye Yi said, "But I promised him I would definitely bring you back."

Ye Qiu said without looking back, "That's your problem."

Ye Yi's expression slightly darkened.

Ye Qiu had already ascended the mountain peak and disappeared from sight. Ye Yi's gaze turned cold.

On the mountain peak, Ye Qiu went straight into the thatched hut and fell onto the bed to sleep.

He slept until noon, then got up, drank some water, and ate something. Nan Qingyue must have gone out and hadn't returned yet.

He continued to study his Fist Technique and Saber Technique.

An hour later, he descended the mountain peak and headed towards the tower area again.

"Brother Ye Qiu." Upon reaching the outside of the tower area, the voice sounded again, it was Ye Yi.

Ye Qiu said, "I really don't want to be involved with the Ye Clan anymore, so please stop coming."

Ye Yi replied, "There are some matters that still require you to return to the clan to handle... The Patriarch and the Matriarch both miss you very much."

Ye Qiu chuckled, a playful smile on his face. Miss me?

Would Ye Jiangshan?

The Matriarch?

That woman?

Heh!

He intended to refuse outright, but as the words reached his lips, his tone suddenly changed: "Tell him to wait!"

With that, he walked into the Gravity Tower.

Ye Yi glanced at the Gravity Tower. At this moment, a man walked up behind Ye Yi. "Brother Yi, why waste words with him? If he doesn't comply, just suppress him!"

Ye Yi said, "The matter hasn't been resolved yet, and besides, Instructor Nan is vouching for him... It's best not to make a move if we can avoid it."

The man scoffed, "Do you really think our Ye Clan is afraid of Nan Qingyue?"

Ye Yi gave him a look. "If you're not afraid, why don't you go fight her?"

The man immediately fell silent.

The Ye Clan might not be afraid, but they were! If Nan Qingyue truly attacked, the clan definitely wouldn't go to great lengths for them. After all, if they truly fell out with Nan Qingyue, the Ye Clan would have to pay a heavy price!

Ye Yi glanced at the Gravity Tower once more, then turned and left.

Clang—

On the sixth floor of the Gravity Tower, Ye Qiu threw punches again and again. The bell's chime grew louder, and the great bell trembled along with it. This time, he had cultivated here for a full day and night. Then, with a final punch, the great bell exploded with a boom.

He smashed the great bell!

Ye Qiu retracted his fist and smiled.
