Chapter 40: Medicinal Bath Tempering Body, First Battle Against Yang Tianlei (First Part)

  [PS: The first update is delivered,]

  "Is that all? No, this shouldn't be my limit, no, absolutely not." Yang Lei shouted in his heart, but he had already broken through his limits and was reborn with new strength. His speed picked up again as he ran forward. Summer Bamboo and Spring Orchid looked at Yang Lei in disbelief, this young master was truly crazy, cultivating with such a disregard for life, no wonder his cultivation had become so abnormal, reaching the middle stage of martial arts at just 16 years old.

  Half an hour had passed, and Yang Wei was still running.

  An hour had passed and Yang Lei was still running.

  Two hours passed and Yang Lei was exhausted and finally stopped.

  At this time, Xia Zhu and Chun Lan rushed over to help Yang Lei up, and according to the previous instructions, they put Yang Lei into a bathtub filled with medicinal water, with fire burning underneath, steaming hot vapor rising.

  Yang Lei felt a sharp pain all over his body as soon as he sat down, his body was constantly stimulated, and the energy in the medicine liquid kept pouring into his body. The medicinal power continued to solidify and recover Yang Lei's physical strength.

  Pain and joy coexisted, Yang Lei continued to absorb the medicinal properties, his body's intensity constantly increased, his cultivation also slowly improved, and the Xuan Yuan Secret surprisingly operated on its own.

  An hour later, the originally turbid medicinal liquid had become clear and transparent, with all of its potency fully absorbed. At this time, Yang Lei felt his entire body surging with energy, stronger than before by nearly a factor of two.

  It's so terrifying, this extreme cultivation, and yet after just one attempt at cultivating it, my power has already increased by a factor of two. If I continue like this, won't I be able to break through my current level and surpass the third layer of the Iron Shirt boundary?

  After dressing up, Yang Lei came to the courtyard and performed a set of Eagle Claw Fist, which was thoroughly enjoyable.

  …………

  The points have already exceeded 10,000. What can be exchanged for these tens of thousands of points? However, it seems that there are not many things that can be exchanged for points now, and they are not what I urgently need. At most, I will exchange them for lottery cards to test my luck.

  "Ding, player points exceeded 10,000, system upgrade available."

  This sudden voice made Yang Lei's heart greatly delighted, the system upgrade, after the upgrade, those things that can be exchanged, refined and forged, etc. will all be improved, so it can also relieve its own urgent need.

  "Upgrading."

  "Ding, system upgrade requires 10,000 points, would you like to continue?"

  It cost 10,000 points to upgrade, which made Yang Wei feel a sharp pain. Those were 10,000 hard-earned points that he had accumulated with great difficulty. He hadn't expected the upgrade to require such a huge amount of points, but upgrading was necessary and there was no room for choice.

  "Continue upgrading."

  "Ding, system upgrade started, will be completed in 24 hours."

  Dizzy, the system upgrade will take 24 hours, which means I won't be able to use the system within 24 hours. But it doesn't matter, my points are not enough anyway, only over a thousand points left, can't do anything with that.

  Yang Lei was thinking about his own affairs when Xia Zhu rushed in hastily and said: "Young Master, something's wrong, something's wrong."

  "What's going on, why the rush?" Yang Lei was interrupted from his thoughts, slightly displeased.

  "Master, Yang Tianhua and his brother Yang Tianlei are coming this way, saying they want to take revenge on you." Xia Zhu hastily explained.

  "Are you saying that Yang Tianhua and his brother Yang Tianlei are walking towards here to take revenge on me?" Yang Lei wondered if he had misheard, this was the Weiwu Wangfu, not just anyone could enter casually. Although Yang Tianlei was also a direct descendant of the Yang family, he wasn't part of the Weiwu Wangfu branch and could even be considered a rival.

  "Yes, young master, Chunlan has gone to find the mistress. Hopefully, she can make it in time. You should hide for now, young master!" Xia Zhu said.

  "Hiding? Why hide? Ah, right! How did Yang Tianhua and Yang Tianlei get in?" Yang Lei asked again.

  "It was brought by Young Master."

  Yang Lei heard this and thought that Yang Tian was still up to his old tricks, looking for trouble again, and this time he had even brought an outsider with him. This time, Dongfang Caiyu couldn't possibly cover for him, could she? Locking him up would be the least of it.

  "Hiding? Why should I hide? Since I've come, I'll take a look at this Yang Tianlei, the first genius of the Yang family's direct line. What makes him so formidable?" Yang Lei let out a cold snort. Although Yang Tianlei had already entered the Martial King realm, he didn't need to be afraid. It was a good opportunity for him to test the waters.

  "But... but Young Master, Yang Tianlei is a Martial King, you... I'm worried about you..."

  "What's there to worry about? I'm not worried, do you think he'd dare kill me? Besides, who knows who will be the one to get killed?" Yang Lei said with a glare.

  When Yang Lei said this, Xia Zhu also didn't dare to persuade him anymore. In her heart, she muttered: He's just a mid-term martial artist, yet he dares to challenge the Martial King realm? Isn't that just asking for a beating? Even if he gets beaten up, it'll be good for him to vent his frustrations.

  At this time, three people had already walked in, and the leader was obviously Yang Tianlei, followed by Yang Tianhua and Yang Tian.

  "You're Yang Lei? You bullied my brother, humph, not bad at all. A waste like you actually managed to turn things around." Yang Tianlei said coldly to Yang Lei.

  "You're dead, Yang Lei." Yang Tianhua glared at Yang Lei venomously and said, "You dare to hit me? I told you my brother will avenge me."

  "Just a clown jumping around." Yang Lei spat out a few words coldly.

  "Courting death, you clown! I'd like to see what makes this trash so arrogant. Don't think that just because you have some strength, you can turn the world upside down." Yang Tianlei was a proud and arrogant person, but now he's being looked down upon by Yang Lui, a mid-stage martial artist, someone who used to be called trash, and a shame to the Martial King. How could this not enrage him?

  "Let me see if this so-called Yang family's number one talent is qualified." Yang Lei didn't show any weakness, his momentum suddenly surged.

  "Alright, alright, alright." Yang Tianlei smiled instead of getting angry. A mid-level martial artist dared to challenge him? "With this kind of courage, I won't kill you today. Breaking one of your legs is enough."

  "What a big tone." Yang Lei knew that this Yang Tianlei was indeed formidable, with the strength of a Martial King First Stage, plus the treasure sword in his hand, his cultivation could rival that of a Martial King Third Stage. If he didn't bring out his true abilities, he would only be beaten.

  The wind hides the knife's exit.

  With the long sword in hand, Yang Lei's momentum increased again.

  At this time, Yang Tianlei narrowed his eyes, with a long sword in hand, and a fierce aura swept towards Yang Wei.

  "Fengdao Qishā—Fēngbào Shā."

  English Translation: "Wind Blade Seven Kills—Storm Kill."

  Yang Lei suddenly rose up, with a long knife in his hand, instantly stirring up a rolling storm, rushing towards Yang Tianlei, overbearing and powerful.

  Yang Tianlei stood upright, unafraid and unruffled, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. This was more interesting; if it were too weak, it would be boring.

  "Lightning Sword Art, one sword shocks the nine provinces."

  Yang Tianlei's long sword danced, with the momentum of a thousand pounds, Zou Ran launched an attack, and the sword light was like lightning, striking the stormy air, making Yang Wei's moves dissolve into nothingness.

  Yang Lei was secretly shocked, this guy's swordsmanship was the Thunder Sword Art, but he didn't use his full strength, just a few points of skill were revealed, the genius of the Yang family in this generation, indeed lived up to its reputation.

  Since you are a thunderbolt, then watch me counterattack with a thunderbolt.

  "Wind Blade Seven Kills - Wind Thunder Kill."

  Yang Lei's Wind Shadow Knife was like a thunderbolt from the nine heavens, swift, violent, fast as lightning, and powerful as thunder.

  Yang Tianlei took a slight step back, his sword momentum rose, and he soared into the air like a great roc spreading its wings, the long sword in his hand shining with a brilliant light.

  "Lightning Sword Art, one sword lightning covers the blue sea."

  Yang Tianlei's sword not only resolved Yang Wei's offensive, but also continued to attack forward. Yang Wei's face slightly solidified, knowing that he had to use an even more powerful move to counter it.

  "Fengdao Qi Sha, Er Sha He Yi."

  Translation: "Wind Blade Seven Kills, Two Kills Combine as One."

  Fourfold combat strength, Yang Lei's momentum rose again. This knife turned into a flash of lightning, its momentum like a rainbow. This knife was dazzlingly brilliant. The flair of this knife shocked everyone.

  "Lightning Sword Art, one sword shocks the nine heavens."

  The air was filled with a strong gust of wind, and the surrounding air was stirred up, causing rocks to fly everywhere.

  Yang Tianlei and Yang Lei both took two steps back, neither gaining the upper hand, it was indeed a stalemate.

  "Alright, very good, I didn't expect you to be so formidable. Let's stop here for now. I hope that in half a month's time, at the family competition, you can make me satisfied." Yang Tianlei said as he turned and left.

  "Brother...... brother......" Yang Tianhua was stunned and quickly followed up.

  Yang Tian saw the look in Yang Lei's eyes and shuddered, this guy was too terrifying, he couldn't even be dealt with by Yang Tianlei, so he quickly turned around and left, afraid that he would take him down.

  Seeing Yang Tianlei leave, Yang Wei let out a sigh of relief. If this guy continued to fight with himself, the small courtyard might have been destroyed. The Martial King realm was indeed formidable.

  "Master, you're so amazing." At this time, Xia Zhu stared blankly at Yang Lei.

  "What else are you looking at? Can't you hurry up and sweep the floor? Do I have to do it myself?" Yang Lei scolded Xia Zhu, seeing her dazed expression.

  "Oh, oh, okay young master, I'll get right to it." Xia Zhu nodded hastily and quickly picked up the broom, starting to clean up the mess.

  Yang Tianhua caught up with Yang Tianlei and asked inexplicably: "Brother, why didn't you accept that kid?"

  Yang Tianlei was furious: "You little rascal, you don't cultivate properly and always cause trouble for me. That guy's cultivation is much stronger than yours, do you dare to provoke him?"

  "Isn't there also big brother you?" Yang Tianhua hehe smiled and said.

  "Shut up and don't provoke him again." Yang Tianlei kicked him and said.

  "Brother, won't you be able to beat him? He's so formidable, could it be that you can't win against him?" Yang Tianhua couldn't believe his ears. His own brother, a genius who had reached the first rank of Wu Wang at just eighteen years old and would soon break through to the second rank, was actually saying something like this.

  "You know what, I can defeat him, but it won't be easy. And this is the Weiwu Wangfu, not just anywhere else. If we keep fighting, Dongfang Furen will arrive, and in the end, we'll be the ones to suffer." Yang Tianlei looked like he was fed up with his brother's lack of dedication to cultivation, wasting his time hanging out with a bunch of good-for-nothings every day.

  "Oh, so we're just going to let him off like that? I'm not willing to accept it." Yang Tianhua said with a scowl.

  "You're not willing to let him off like this, it's definitely impossible. I'll take care of him at the family competition in half a month, don't worry." Yang Tianlei patted his younger brother.

  "Isn't this Tian Lei's nephew? Why don't you sit down, since you've come all the way here, why not come and see me?" Just then, Dongfang Caixia appeared before him.

  Yang Tianlei calmly said, "Auntie Dongfang, I'm just here to exchange blows with Yang Xue brother, how dare I disturb Auntie's quiet cultivation."

  "Oh, is that so? But I heard you're looking for trouble with our third son. It seems like you want to teach him a lesson on behalf of my husband?" Dongfang Caoyu said with a smile.

  Yang Tianlei's face turned pale with cold sweat, thinking that if he were to scold the Crown Prince Yang You for this, it would be tantamount to asking for trouble.

  "How dare you, Aunt Dongfang must have believed the rumors, Tian Lei is just a junior after all."

  After leaving the Weiwu Wangfu, Yang Tianlei still felt a chill on his back. This Dongfang Caiyu was too formidable; if she got hold of any evidence, he would be skinned alive.

  "Brother, this woman is really sinister," said Yang Tianhua.

  "It's you, you little rascal! Go back and cultivate properly, don't take a single step outside. If I find out that you dare to run around again, see if I won't discipline you. You know, this time you almost got yourself into trouble." As soon as Yang Tianlei heard Yang Tianhua's words, he became furious.
