In the early morning, a trace of light just shining from the sky...

"Ahem!"

A depressed cough sounded from a dilapidated old house at the west end of Xiaojia Village.

Swish!

Xiao Ye, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, jumped up, quickly put on his clothes, and walked out of the room with his hands and feet.

"Dad's secret disease is getting worse and worse."

Listening to the constant coughing sounds coming from the inner room, a trace of worry flashed between Xiao Ye’s eyebrows.

His father Xiao Yang should have been the pillar of this family, but due to an accident seven years ago, the meridians of the whole body were broken, and he went from a powerful warrior to a sickly plaguer.

In order to buy medicinal materials to relieve Xiao Yang's pain, the property was sold, and my mother often worked until midnight...

Thinking of all this, Xiao Ye slowly clenched his fists.

That accident changed his father and the family.

"As a son, I must not watch my father be tortured by a secret disease!" Xiao Ye's expression was firm, "Dad's secret disease has been for several years. If you want to cure it, only an extremely rare elixir can do..."

However, Xiaojia Village is located in Qingyang Town, Dahong Country, and is a barren land. How can there be a magic pill? Even if there is one, Xiao Ye’s family is almost barren, he can’t afford it.

"If you want to obtain a magic pill, unless you enter the Chongyang Gate..." Xiao Ye took a deep breath, and a hint of yearning appeared on his slightly green face.

Chongyang Sect is one of the most powerful sects in the Dahong Kingdom. It has more than ten thousand disciples and has walked out of many famous strong men. It is rumored that there are magical medicines in the sect that can repair the meridians of warriors.

Every five years, Chongyang Gate will select a group of new disciples to replenish fresh blood.

"There is still one year left before the introduction of Chongyang Gate selection, and I have to work hard!" Xiao Ye's eyes became firm.

After washing up, Xiao Ye walked to the stove and skillfully lit the fire to make breakfast.

Half an hour later, the fragrant rice porridge was out of the pot. Xiao Ye hurriedly drank two big bowls and walked out of the house.

After Xiao Ye left, a woman walked out of the inner room. She was Xiao Ye's mother Luo Meilan. When she saw the cooked rice porridge, she was stunned.

"This child is really miserable." Luo Meilan sighed, feeling sad.

Xiao Ye's father was plagued by secret illness, and the burden of the family fell on her, and Xiao Ye always tried his best to help her reduce the burden.

You should know that Xiao Ye is only fourteen years old, and other children are living a life of having clothes and food at this age.

While she was relieved, she felt even more distressed.

...

After walking out of the house, Xiao Ye came to an old shameful tree at the entrance of the village.

"drink!"

Xiao Ye shook his waist and pulled his horse, his body straightened, his eyes became sharp, and he began to practice tiger fist.

The worldly combat skills are divided into nine grades, the first to third grade are the lower grades, the fourth to sixth grades are the medium grades, and the seventh to ninth grades are the best grades.

This set of Tiger Fist is just the most basic combat skill and cannot even be considered a first-rate, but it has extraordinary effects on tempering the body. It is the junior of Xiaojia Village who majored in boxing.

"Huhh!"

Xiao Ye's boxing technique was like mercury falling to the ground, endlessly, and the howling wind of the fist made the branches and leaves of the old Kui Tree tremble.

"Tiger Fist!"

Xiao Ye shouted softly, and suddenly stepped out, his right arm muscles jumped, and his momentum was like a tiger pounced on him. At the same time, his blood and energy rolled in his body, and his right fist burst out, rushing against a huge rock.

Bang!

The dull collision sounded, and half a man in the height of the huge rock was shattered.

"Ba!Ba!"

At this time, applause came from a distance, and a strong man came over: "Awesome, you kid can actually practice the Tiger Fist to such an extent."

"I made Uncle Shan laugh." Xiao Ye closed his fist and said modestly.

This strong man, named Xiao Dashan, is the instructor in charge of the practice of the juniors in Xiaojia Village.

"Among our Xiaojia Village juniors, your qualifications are the best." Xiao Dashan strode over and patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder.

When his eyes accidentally swept across the gravel on the ground, he said suspiciously: "Have you broken through to the ninth level of body refining?"

The Body Refining Realm is the first realm of martial arts. It mainly focuses on body tempering and is divided into one to nine levels. Xiao Dashan is very clear that the eighth level of body refining does not have such strength.

Looking at Xiao Dashan's surprised look, Xiao Ye scratched his head: "I just broke through yesterday."

"It's really a breakthrough!" Xiao Dashan widened his eyes and exclaimed.

It should be noted that most of the juniors in the village are only at the sixth level of body refining.

While the two were talking, a group of young and young girls, talking and laughing, were walking towards this side.

"Hmph!" Xiao Dashan put away his smile, his face full of seriousness, and his eyes were like lightning.

Feeling Xiao Dashan's gaze, the young girls shivered, quickly accelerated their pace, lined up in a row in the open space at the entrance of the village, standing straight one by one.

"Xiao Ye is stronger than you, why do you come later than him?" Xiao Dashan shouted loudly.

The young and girls lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. Xiao Dashan is famous for being strict in the village, and the younger generations in Xiaojia Village are afraid of him.

"Everyone cheers me up, accepts punishment, and runs around the village for ten laps!" Xiao Dashan snorted coldly.

Run ten laps?

A wail suddenly came from the team. There were two hundred families in Xiaojia Village, which were quite large. It was not easy to run around the village ten laps.

Swish!

Several angry eyes looked at Xiao Ye, as if saying that it was because of you that I was punished. But they didn't dare to speak out, after all, Xiao Ye's strength was there.

Xiao Ye shook his head helplessly. It was not the first time that Xiao Dashan used him as a benchmark for juniors in the village, and he had long been used to it.

At this time, a tall boy standing in front of the junior team was looking at Xiao Ye with jealousy.

The young man is named Xiao Teng, and he is the best among the juniors in the village. He is on the eighth level of body refining with Xiao Ye who had never broken through. It can be said that Xiao Ye and Xiao Teng are the two most outstanding juniors in Xiaojia Village.

"I, Xiao Teng, are no worse than you. Why do Uncle Shan always teach you?" Xiao Teng stared at Xiao Ye, his heart full of resentment.

If you talk about who Xiao Teng hates the most in Xiaojia Village, it is obviously Xiao Ye.

Xiao Teng's father is the captain of the beast hunting team in Xiaojia Village. He gets the most benefits each time. He often exchanges various medicinal materials to vigorously cultivate Xiao Teng.

However, Xiao Ye's family conditions were the worst in the entire village, and he even ate very little meat.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Ye was able to be with him. Many villagers secretly talked about Xiao Ye being the first genius in Xiaojia Village. How could Xiao Teng not resent this?

"Hmph, wait until my father buys the body refining pill and let me break through to the ninth level of body refining. At that time, I will defeat you in front of the whole village and let everyone know that I am the number one genius in Xiaojia Village!"

Xiao Teng withdrew his gaze, hid his resentment in his heart, and joined the team that was punished. But he didn't know that Xiao Ye had already broken through to the ninth level of body refining.

...

On the open space at the entrance of the village, Xiao Ye moved his muscles and bones, picked up the heavy-bearing stone lock, and stood up his horse stance.

"Although my strength is the number one among Xiaojia Village juniors, it is nothing to the giant Chongyang Gate..."

"I have read books in the village. Chongyang Gate is a martial arts holy land. Every time I select, the teenagers from the entire Dahong Kingdom will go there."

"Dahong Country has a territory of tens of thousands of miles, and there are countless children of famous families. It is not difficult for them to take medicinal materials to assist in body refining since they were young, and it is not difficult for them to break through to the ninth level of body refining!"

Xiao Ye carried a stone lock on his back, sweat dripping down, and his heart was filled with pressure. He knew very well that the children of famous families were much higher than him.

With the strength of the ninth level of body refining, if you want to pass the introductory assessment of the Chongyang Gate, you will have little hope...

When the juniors in the village stared at the title of the first genius, Xiao Ye had already looked at the entire Dahong Kingdom.

"If you want to enter the Double Ninth Sect steadily, unless I can break through to the acquired realm!" Xiao Ye whispered, "But it is really too difficult to break through to the acquired realm!"

When tempered to a certain level, true qi will be derived from the body, which is the acquired realm.

The acquired realm and the Body Refining Realm are two completely different realms. Even warriors who have just entered the acquired realm can kill a large group of body refining realm warriors in seconds with a wave of their hands. The two are completely incomparable.

But it is very difficult to break through to the acquired realm!

For example, two hundred families of all sizes in Xiaojia Village have been practicing martial arts for generations, but there are only a few warriors in the acquired realm, and they all entered after the age of thirty.

It is because there are several acquired martial artists in the village that Xiaojia Village has become one of the strong villages in Qingyang Town.

Xiao Ye and Xiao Teng are the most outstanding juniors in the village. People in the village speculate that they will be at the earliest after they are twenty years old before they can break through to the acquired realm.

"If... my strange disease can occur again, maybe I can break through to the acquired realm." Xiao Ye suddenly grinned.

He has a secret that others don't know.

When he was nine years old, he suffered a strange disease, and he was in pain every time he attacked. But every time he occurred, his cultivation speed would increase strangely, so that he could use his poor family to overcome Xiao Teng, who enjoyed various medicinal herbs.

Last night, the strange disease broke out for the third time, which made him break through to the ninth level of body refining in one breath.

Of course, Xiao Ye dared not disclose this secret, otherwise he would definitely be treated as a monster.

...

Soon, the juniors in Xiaojia Village were punished and routinely received guidance from Xiao Dashan for training. Amid the sound of boxing practice, a whole morning passed.
To be continued...
