Yuan Jingzhi, the head of the Yuan Family, had taken five wives and concubines and had eight sons. However, he had not given birth to a single daughter. Among them, the sixth son, Yuan Ye, and the seventh son, Yuan Song, had the same mother. Their mother died during childbirth. Perhaps it was because of this that Yuan Jingzhi paid special attention to Seventh Brother. Both of them had average cultivation talent, but Yuan Jing did not care about Yuan Ye, but she never gave up on Yuan Song.
Of the eight Yuan Ye brothers, the most capable was the third brother Yuan Zhen, who was less than twenty-five years old and had already reached the Martial Marshal Middle Peak. Wu Shuai was the center forward. Even if he was a famous expert in Xinlin City, he was not much stronger. He was the best among his peers and was also the son that Yuan Jingzhi valued the most. Yuan Song had just become a martial artist, and Yuan Ye himself had just entered the sect.
In this world, martial strength was divided into nine levels according to their strength. Each level was a threshold. There was a small threshold for three levels, a big threshold for six levels, and a chasm for nine levels. This meant that it would be very difficult to advance from level three to level four, and it would be even more difficult to advance from level six to level seven. If one wanted to break through to level nine, it would be as difficult as crossing a natural moat. Similarly, once he crossed it, his strength would have a qualitative leap. Above grade-9, one could go up to the nine heavens to hold the moon and travel in the deep sea. Once the magic weapon was used, it could kill people thousands of miles away.
These nine levels were called Beginner, Martial Man, Martial Master, General, Martial Commander, Martial Marquis, Martial King, Martial Lord, and Martial Emperor. According to the education system on Earth, beginners were equivalent to kindergarten. A sixteen-year-old man was still in kindergarten. It was no wonder that Yuan Ye was so depressed when he had just transmigrated. When one reached the Martial General Realm, they could use elemental domain power. They could be considered to have truly embarked on the path of an expert. When one reached the Martial King Realm, they could comprehend nomological power and transcend the cycle of life and death. It was enough for the various large factions to compete to recruit them. As the name implied, the highest rank was the Martial Monarch Realm. Every Martial Monarch Realm expert had their own legends on the continent. Those above the Martial Monarch Realm had already surpassed the understanding of ordinary people. With Yuan Ye's limited knowledge, who knew how strong they were. However, it was certain that those Flame Fighters were far superior to Martial Emperors, and Yuan Venerates were naturally superior to Flame Fighters.
Just as he thought of this, Yuan Ye saw the third brother of the Yuan family, Yuan Zhen. He did not like this third brother of the Yuan family and deliberately avoided his gaze.
"Father, it's almost time. You should go to the city lord's place.”Yuan Zhen said to Yuan Jingzhi.
"Is everyone at home here?" Yuan Jingzhi tidied up her clothes and looked at her third son.
"Sixth brother hasn't come yet."
Yuan Jingzhi's face was filled with displeasure as she said in a dignified manner,""Unfilial son, get someone to capture him.”
"Yes, sir!" Yuan Zhen immediately bowed and prepared to leave.
" Forget it." Yuan Jingzhi waved her hand." You get angry when you see him. It's fine if you don't want him. Third Brother, I have placed all my hopes on you. Look at this tall statue. You must take the Flame Fighter as your role model." Shine upon our Yuan Family."
"Don't worry, Father. I will become a Flame Fighter sooner or later.”Yuan Zhen looked at his father, his eyes filled with fanaticism. Although Yuan Zhen's aptitude was mediocre, he was extremely fond of martial arts. Every day, he cultivated without regard for his life. Yuan Zhen was a man who desired to be strong.
"Of course I hope that you'll be as strong as possible, but don't set such a big goal for yourself." If you can't achieve it, don't let it affect your self-confidence.”
Yuan Jingzhi raised her head and looked at the huge statue." There are more than ten thousand cities in the entire Flame Continent. Ten thousand cities have tens of thousands of years of history. These ten thousand cities have only produced a thousand Flame Fighters in these tens of thousands of years. On average, there would only be one in every 30 cities every tens of thousands of years. All of them were heaven's favored children. Their talent was not only one in ten thousand, but it could not be found even in millions. In addition, luck, fortuitous encounters, setbacks, tribulations, and stepping stones were indispensable. Only in this way could one become the strongest Flame Fighter. Third Brother, your talent is barely good. You have achieved what you have today because of your hard work. If you can reach the Martial Lord Realm, you will be famous in the entire Hunluo Province. I will be satisfied.”
"Father only wants me to become famous in Hunluo Prefecture?”Yuan Zhen frowned.
Yuan Jingzhi saw her son's lofty aspirations and felt gratified in her heart. She patted his shoulder. This father-son relationship gave Yuan Ye goosebumps. He had no choice but to come out.
"Aiya, the weather is not bad today. The sky is clear and there are dark clouds in the sky. He had caused so many elites to be…drenched in the rain.”Yuan Ye said as he walked towards Yuan Jingzhi, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
"Impudent!" Yuan Jingzhi was furious when she saw Yuan Ye." You're late, yet you don't know your manners."”
Yuan Ye looked down on him in his heart. No matter what, his father didn't like him. No matter what, he liked Third Brother. He had no choice.
However, Yuan Jingzhi didn't dare to loudly lecture Yuan Ye. After all, there were many important people here, and even the King of Qizi Prefecture was present. It wasn't Yuan Jingzhi's turn to deal with family matters here.
Soon, the worship began. After Liao Chengzhong, the Prince of Qizi Prefecture, gave a brief opening speech, everyone threw away their umbrellas and knelt down to worship the huge statue. Only Yuan Ye remained standing. Yuan Ye looked at the statue. He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in turmoil.
Everyone worshiped the strong, so why didn't they become strong themselves? Was it because they were afraid of the hardships of cultivation, or because they lacked faith and needed a strong person to rely on?
For a moment, Yuan Ye was at a loss. Perhaps the Yuan Ye from before had no ambition and was willing to degenerate, but the Yuan Ye now was not a man without ambition. He would not worship anyone, he would only surpass others.
When everyone finished worshipping, the only person who did not kneel naturally attracted attention.
"Whose son is that person? How dare he be so disrespectful to the Flame Fighter?”Liao Chengzhong, the Prince of Qizi Prefecture, pointed at Yuan Ye and said in a dissatisfied voice.
"Princess, it is my fault for not teaching my son well. Please punish my unfilial son.”Yuan Jingzhi hurriedly stood up and bowed.
"F * ck, you didn't plead for me and pushed all the blame on me. Is that father? Fortunately, I'm not your real son." Yuan Ye was extremely depressed.
"Why aren't you kneeling?" The Regional King Liao Chengzhong looked at Yuan Ye with dissatisfaction.
"Kou Yi hasn't knelt down to me yet, so why should I?”Yuan Ye raised his eyebrows." He's just a Flame Fighter. I'll surpass him sooner or later."”
When the audience heard this, there was a commotion.
"Sou!"
Suddenly, a shadow flashed past, and Yuan Ye felt his vision darken.
"Peng!"
Yuan Ye's chest was kicked viciously, and he was sent flying. At the same time, the figure charged forward again. The moment Yuan Ye fell to the ground, he stepped on Yuan Ye's chest and stomped on it viciously.
"Humph, I thought you were some genius who dared to be so arrogant. So you're just an ignorant trash who said some crazy things.”The person looked at Yuan Jingzhi with disdain. Yuan Jingzhi's face instantly darkened and she was speechless.
"Your Excellency, this kind of person is not worth your time to answer him.”
"En, Yuan Jing Zhi, go back and teach your son well, let him know the immensity of heaven and earth. In addition, our Qi Zi Prefecture's Top 100 Young Heroes War is about to begin. According to what I know, your third son Yuan Zhen has already reached the Martial Marshal Middle Peak and has the qualifications to participate.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Yuan Zhen will definitely not disappoint the Regional King.”Yuan Jingzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded.
