The matter with Zhou Huaiyi was merely an unpleasant interlude for Yang Chen. He didn't dwell on it; there was no room for leniency towards those who had betrayed him. However, Zhou Huaiyi's situation did bring back some unpleasant memories of Hua Wanru.
Recalling Hua Wanru only fueled his desire for greater strength.
The stronger he became, the more Yang Chen understood the gap between himself and Hua Wanru. Indeed, in his previous life, Hua Wanru was a genius. Not only was her talent exceptional, but her wisdom was also unparalleled.
Furthermore, with his personal tutelage, Hua Wanru's martial arts cultivation far surpassed that of her peers. Her strength was simply beyond the comprehension of the Great Wilderness Hundred Clans.
As for himself, there was a significant disparity between him and Hua Wanru.
Of course, Yang Chen believed that with time, his own efforts and methods would undoubtedly narrow this gap, eventually making it disappear entirely.
With this thought, Yang Chen began to carefully examine the heavenly treasures that Yang Jinhe had given him.
"The Yang Family Patriarch is truly generous. Even Second Master Yang is slightly less so. If others were to utilize these resources and treasures, it would indeed be difficult for them to achieve significant progress in a short period. But in my hands, their significance is different." Yang Chen smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the resources in the storage bag.
He was confident that with these resources, he could break through his martial arts cultivation further.
"These resources can also provide me with enough to make another medicinal bath to temper my physique," Yang Chen thought to himself.
As this idea took hold, Yang Chen immediately put it into action, taking out most of the treasures from the storage bag.
After more than half an hour, the medicinal bath was ready!
Yang Chen then joyfully leaped into the bath.
A day and a night passed in the blink of an eye.
Sitting in the medicinal bath, Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, which were now filled with vigor.
His physique had become even stronger than before, a clear sign of his advancing martial arts cultivation. This brought a smile to Yang Chen's face as he murmured, "Not bad. Although this medicinal bath is still far from the ideal effect I envisioned, regardless, I've directly leaped from the Body Refining Realm Fifth Level to the Body Refining Realm Sixth Level!"
Yes, his current martial arts cultivation had astonishingly crossed an entire realm, advancing from the fifth to the sixth level.
If anyone else in the Great Wilderness Hundred Clans were to learn of such a breakthrough, they would likely be stunned.
It was known that the increase in physical strength within the Body Refining Realm became progressively more difficult with each higher level.
The human body had its limits.
On this path towards the limit, it might be easy at the beginning, but it became increasingly arduous as one ascended.
For someone like Yang Chen to advance from the fifth to the sixth level in just one day was something no one would believe if told.
The Yang family members could never have imagined that Yang Chen, who had already reached the terrifying Body Refining Realm Fifth Level, would so quickly advance to the Body Refining Realm Sixth Level.
Yang Chen also dared not publicize this matter. After all, if the Yang family were to know that he was still at the Body Refining Realm Fifth Level just a few days ago and had reached the Body Refining Realm Sixth Level today, it would be far too astonishing.
"These spiritual herbs and resources are still not enough," Yang Chen thought with a wry smile. "Although I've reached the Body Refining Realm Sixth Level, I've used up all the resources provided by the Yang Clan Leader. Oh well, since that's the case, I'll start cultivating the Hunyuan Spear Technique properly."
Having chosen the path of the spear, Yang Chen was determined to master the spear techniques.
With this thought, Yang Chen quickly got up, put on his clothes, and said, "Mingyue, stop tidying the room. Let's go to the Training Field!"
The Training Field was the place where Yang family martial artists practiced their skills.
There, they could exert themselves to their heart's content without worrying about causing any mishaps.
"Yes, Young Master," Gu Mingyue nodded happily.
Her favorite thing to do now was to follow behind Yang Chen.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Training Field.
Bathed in sunlight, the young man was drenched in sweat as he practiced.
Yang Chen gripped the spear shaft, his silver spear moving like a dragon. Each thrust carried a fierce wind.
"I still feel like something is missing," Yang Chen muttered to himself. "The Hunyuan Spear Technique is divided into four major stages: Kedi, Benlei, Bengshan, and Hunyuan. I've just started practicing, and with my talent, even the Kedi stage is proving difficult to grasp!"
"The Kedi Stance emphasizes speed. It's about being as fast as wind and shadow, with the spear's force surpassing the speed of the wind, creating a phantom image!" Yang Chen thought.
Of course, achieving this was incredibly difficult.
Gu Mingyue watched Yang Chen meticulously practice his spear techniques, her large eyes blinking, filled with admiration. Resting her chin on her hand, she sat there, carefully observing Yang Chen's well-defined face, unconsciously fantasizing about their future together.
The thought of what might come made Gu Mingyue's face flush, her mouth suddenly dry. She flusteredly muttered to herself, "How can I be thinking such things? Young Master wouldn't be as... as I'm imagining."
No one knew what was going through the little girl's mind, but soon, Gu Mingyue heard a commotion around her.
"It's Yang Chen!"
"Yang Chen is the most talented genius in our Yang family."
"He's practicing spear techniques!"
"I didn't expect Young Master Yang Chen to have achieved so much and still be this diligent. No wonder I couldn't shine at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Just this level of effort makes me feel inferior."
"Stop the nonsense and let's learn from him. Young Master Yang Chen rarely comes to the Training Field to practice. Being able to see him train here is a great opportunity for us to learn. If we can grasp even a fraction of what he does, we'll surely make significant progress."
Many youths in the Training Field noticed Yang Chen in the corner and began to make noise. They spontaneously gathered around, observing Yang Chen's practice. For them, being able to watch Yang Chen train like this was perhaps a rare treat.
"It's a pity that I practice the way of the sword!"
"I practice the way of the saber, which is different from Young Master Yang Chen!"
"Haha, when my father saw Yang Chen choose the path of the spear, he immediately had me switch to learning spear techniques. Don't stop me, I really need to learn from big brother Yang Chen."
Scenes like this were everywhere. In an instant, word spread from one to ten, then from ten to a hundred. The fact that Yang Chen had come to the training field became common knowledge. In the blink of an eye, the training field was packed with people. Even many young girls from neighboring clans, who lived near the Yang family, rushed to the Yang family in a frenzy.
These girls, with no reason to enter the Yang family directly, chose to climb over the walls.
"Brother, keep holding me up. I can almost see Yang Chen. Ah, I see him, brother, I see him! He looks just like the legends say."
"Sister, you have to put in more effort. Our Mu family and the Yang family are close to each other, so you have the advantage of proximity. If you can win over Yang Chen, then your brother will have a comfortable life for the rest of his days. Oh, sister, why have you gotten heavier than before?"
Yang Chen was practicing his techniques with focus, but the whispers from all around soon reached his ears. No matter how serious he was, it was impossible to ignore them.
At this moment, Yang Chen felt extremely awkward. He scanned his surroundings and found that the training field was indeed overflowing with people. There were even many girls outside the walls, piled up as they climbed over, staring at him with wide eyes. They were chattering incessantly, and he had no idea what they were discussing.
Yang Chen glanced over in their direction, and instantly, these girls were overjoyed. A few of them almost lost their footing and fell.
