4: Chapter 4 Family Council 4: Chapter 4 Family Council “Although Ye Yan was also at the Seventh Grade of the Martial Apprentice Realm, his cultivation technique was far inferior to mine,” he said, his strength at best equivalent to that of ten powerful horses, even if the level of his Wave Fist was somewhat lacking. But defeating him was still as easy as flipping one’s hand.” After defeating Ye Yan, Ye Xuan did not blindly rejoice, but instead calculated the strengths of both sides, identifying his own shortcomings. This time it was only a visit from Ye Yan, but next time, who knows what formidable character he would encounter. In the vast Ye family, although there were thousands of members, there were practically none he could call friends. Even though they all shared the surname Ye and were somewhat blood-related, those uncles and brothers of Ye Xuan invariably looked upon him with cold indifference. While this was related to his extremely slow cultivation progress, the main reason was still due to his father, Ye Xiao. His deceased father, Ye Xiao, was the second son of the current Family Head of the Ye family, Ye Tianxiong, and held a respected and illustrious status. Ye Xiao had an exceptional talent, having broken through the Martial Sect realm before the age of thirty and was hailed as the strongest of the younger generation in the Great Xia Kingdom. He was on brotherly terms with the Monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom and shone brightly without bounds. And the Ye family was also one of the most prominent families in the Great Xia Kingdom, at the height of its power. It was a pity that heaven envied the gifted; rumors had it that Ye Xiao had dishonorable relations with people from the Demon Clan beyond the borders, resulting in the largest scale demon beast tide in the history of the Great Xia Kingdom sixteen years ago, bringing catastrophic disaster to the whole nation, severely weakening the national strength, and Ye Xiao himself had perished in that demon tide. From then on, Ye Xiao became the sinner of the Great Xia Kingdom, the sinner of the Ye family. The Ye family’s masters suffered a great loss, and their power rapidly declined as a result. That was why Ye Xuan, as his son, was subjected to the humiliation of his clanspeople. Otherwise, Ye Xuan’s situation would have been entirely different; he wouldn’t have fallen so low that even servants dared to bully him. As for Ye Xuan’s birth mother, there was no memory of her in his mind, as if she had never existed. Even the previous Ye Xuan had no impression of his mother. The only thing he knew was that his mother was already dead, which was something the Family Head Ye Tianxiong had told him. “Forget it, since I have no power to rely upon, from now on, I can only depend on myself.” Although Ye Xuan appeared indifferent on the surface, there was still some regret in his heart.

In his previous life, although he was revered as a Martial God, his parents had both died young. In this life, he had the chance to be reborn, yet he ended up an orphan. But now, Ye Xuan’s heart was as firm as rock, and he approached life with a broad mind, not letting such matters bind him, and he quickly let go of such thoughts. Leaving his residence, Ye Xuan arrived at the Ye family’s training field. The training field was located at the southwest part of the Ye family estate, covering a hundred acres, where the Ye family disciples practiced and sparred in martial arts. Upon the vast field, one could see scattered figures practicing martial arts everywhere—these people were not all members of the Ye family; there were also guests, martial masters, and so on. With the Ye family boasting a population exceeding ten thousand, it was natural that not all were blood relatives. Among them, there were very few who truly bore the surname Ye, and a large part consisted of individuals who had contributed to the Ye family and had been granted the Ye surname subsequently. Ye Xuan’s arrival naturally attracted the sideways glances of some, with many showing surprise. The recent rumors had been heated, with tales of Ye Xuan being struck by lightning, and many of them felt a bit of schadenfreude at the time. But looking at Ye Xuan now, where were any signs that he had been struck by lightning? However, in regard to those varied glances, Ye Xuan was too lazy to pay attention, finding a secluded spot to start practicing his fist skill alone. The Wave Fist that he had just used to confront Ye Yan was a very common Fist Skill within the Ye family, so common that many servants knew it. Such a Fist Skill had limited power, and if it were not for Ye Xuan’s cultivation of the Hidden Dragon Skill and his profound True Qi, he might have genuinely struggled against his opponent. When Martial Artists clash, one first looks at the realm, secondly at the cultivation technique, and then the Martial Arts. However, this is not absolute, as all three are deciding factors, their importance just slightly varies. Now that his realm had improved, having chosen a proper cultivation technique, all that was missing was a suitable Martial Art. “Merciful Palm!” “Wind and Cloud Sword Skill!” “Seeking Demon Sword Skill!” Memories of various Martial Arts surfaced in Ye Xuan’s mind; he had collected many Martial Arts, but right now, the only suitable ones to practice for his body were of Mortal Grade. If he wanted to cultivate Earth-grade Martial Arts, he would need to reach the Martial Master Realm. However, since he was going to practice, he would choose the very best among Mortal Grade Martial Arts; otherwise, how could he expect to fight across levels. “That’s the one!” At that moment, Ye Xuan finally found the best Martial Art to practice—the Fist Skill known as Heavenly Dominator Fist, a high-level Mortal Grade Fist Skill. The Heavenly Dominator Fist consisted of four moves: Dominance Over One’s Territory, Overbearing Might, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers, and No Law, No Heaven. However, learning the moves was not the priority; after mastering the moves, understanding the essence of the Martial Art was actually more important. The core essence of the Heavenly Dominator Fist was the concept of “dominance”. With each punch thrown, one must exhibit an invincible might, an unstoppable force, which meant that with the punch, defense had already been abandoned, to either subdue the enemy or be knocked down oneself. If the momentum did not impress the opponent, then the battle was half lost already. Having been a Martial God in his previous life, what was such overbearing aura to Ye Xuan? While others had to consciously cultivate their dominant aura, Ye Xuan was naturally abundant in it. Cultivating the Heavenly Dominator Fist would face no obstacles or bottlenecks, with everything falling into place naturally.
