Chapter 3, The Morning Exercise Incident

At this moment, the one who spoke up to inquire was He Yizhang, who ranked fifth among all the disciples of the three generations

He Yiming didn't even need to turn around to know that the person who asked this question was He Yizhang, who was two years older than him

Watching his younger brother depart, He Yiming let out a long sigh, and the smile on his face had long since vanished completely. He slowly turned around and suddenly caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eye, causing his heart to tremble. With a slight exertion of his feet, he immediately retreated several paces like flowing clouds and flowing water.

He Yiling and He Yilong, the two sisters, glared at He Yizhang, then turned around hand in hand and left. The remaining seventh brother, He Yiyu, with a worried expression, said: "Fifth brother, why did you provoke sixth brother again? If father and elder brother find out, you will definitely be scolded again, and perhaps I will be implicated as well"

The tall man was indeed He Qianyi, the third uncle of He Yiming. He turned around, and his eyes, which had originally shown signs of anger, widened in surprise upon seeing He Yiming's disheveled appearance. He asked, "Why did you only arrive now, and why are you all wet?"

He Yi Ming's footsteps did not pause in the slightest, as if he had never heard this statement and simply walked away

Having just assumed a stance that was both offensive and defensive, He Yiming couldn't help but stand up straight with a wry smile and said, "Third Uncle, why are you joking like this with your little nephew"

The remaining five individuals exchanged glances, and He Yitao suddenly jumped up, quickly chasing after the direction in which Sixth Brother had left.

Yiming, I have discussed this with your uncle and father. He Qiangyi suddenly said: If you wish to change to a different cultivation method, you can go directly to your uncle. The family library contains a wealth of books for you to choose from.

He Yiming's footsteps came to a halt, and he let out a soft hum, saying: "You haven't broken through yet, are you about to make a breakthrough, Fifth Brother?"

He Yiming's face flushed slightly as he spoke softly, "Third Uncle, I practiced horse stance on the hillside all night last night. When I came down, I got my clothes dirty, and while I was washing them by the lake, I accidentally fell into the water."

He Qunyi nodded slightly and walked in the direction where He Yitao had left, saying, "I will go check on Yitao. If he doesn't learn to read properly, I will definitely give him extra food"

He Qianyi waved his hand and said, "Go back and change your clothes, then take a nap first"

He Yiyu : `` ... ... ''

When He Yiming returned to Hejia Village, the sky was already dimly bright.

He Yi Yu muttered a few words under his breath, in a voice so low that even he could barely hear himself: "Aren't you just jealous that Sixth Brother entered the fifth level before you did"

He Yi Tao responded with a sound and quickly turned to leave, indicating that the threat of bamboo shoots stir-fried with sliced meat was still significant to him

He Yiming looked up at the weather, sighed inwardly, and disregarding his drenched state, headed straight to the playground

Looking at his uncle's back, He Yiming looked up at the sky and finally let out a helpless sigh. He did not expect that even his father and the others had specially discussed their own matters. It seems that it is no longer possible to insist on his own views.

This is a placeholder text and does not contain any translatable content.

At the entrance of the playground, a tall man stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He stood there on the ground, resembling an indomitable figure, exuding immense pressure.

From the moment dawn broke, these youths practiced for a full three hours. After He Quanyi called a halt, he offered a few more words of advice before turning to leave

He Yi Ming's gaze swept across his siblings, and as before, he turned and left

Suddenly, a sound of heavy breathing came from behind him, warming his heart, and he stopped in his tracks

Indeed, He Yitao's voice immediately rang out: "Sixth Brother, do not listen to Fifth Brother's words; he is merely envious that you reached the fifth level of internal strength several years earlier than he did"

He Yizhang shot a glare at his brother and said, "Your courage is getting smaller and smaller. Hmph, so what if I am talking about him? As long as I can enter the sixth level before him, no one can say anything to me."

In the family, the elder uncle He Quan Xin Sheng has four sons: the eldest son He Yi Tian, the second son He Yi Hai, the fifth son He Yi Zhang, and the seventh son He Yi Yu. His father He Quan Ming Sheng has two sons and one daughter, namely the third son He Yi Xuan among the third generation disciples, himself who is ranked sixth, and the eighth sister He Yi Long. As for the third uncle He Quan Yi, he has one son and one daughter, the fourth sister He Yi Ling, and the younger brother He Yi Tao. His father He Quan Ming Sheng has two sons and one daughter, namely the third son He Yi Xuan among the third generation disciples, himself who is ranked sixth, and the eighth sister He Yi Long. As for the third uncle He Quan Yi, he has one son and one daughter, the fourth sister He Yi Ling, and the younger brother He Yi Tao

He Yiyu immediately calmed down and said, "Fifth Brother, I haven't done anything. Can't I practice?"

He Yiming felt a slight tremor in his heart and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle"

He Yizhang snorted in anger and said, "Not bad, I want you to work twice as hard, just like Big Brother, Second Brother..." He paused for a moment, hesitated, and finally said, "And Third Brother and the others, haven't they all successfully broken through to the sixth level?"

He Yiyu's eyes widened as he said, "Elder Brother Wu, Second Brother, and Third Brother are five or six years older than me, yet they only broke through to the sixth level in just a year."

He Yiming's expression tightened as he looked at the book, then he smiled and said, "I have my own opinions, thank you"

He Yi Tao shuddered, glanced around, covered his backside with both hands, and displayed a look of horror on his face

He Yiyu opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said, "Fifth Brother, you have been promoted to Level 5 for a year now, while I only succeeded in my promotion last month. Do you expect me to break through immediately?"

At this moment on the playground, there are five third-generation disciples engaged in the most basic training. They have not yet reached the sixth level, consisting of three males and two females, including He Yitao.

The relationship between the second and third families is somewhat closer, but overall, the numerous siblings generally get along quite harmoniously

He Yiming smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I understand, hurry back and learn to read, otherwise Uncle San will say you are being naughty and will search the whole village for you to treat you to stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots."

He Qunyi looked at He Yiming's stubborn gaze, shook his head slightly, and sighed

Thank you for the compliment, Uncle San

He Yizhang's face flushed, and he said, "Well, Lao Qi, you actually learned to retort. Do you want to get beaten?"

Although they are all members of the same extended family, there are still differences in the quality of relationships among siblings.

Currently, among the three generations of nine individuals, He Yitian, He Yihai, and He Yixuan have all successfully reached above the sixth level of internal strength, thus exempting them from the daily morning exercise regimen

Alright, let's start practicing hard now. I will accompany you. Hurry up, don't be listless!

He Yizhang chuckled, saying: "I have only been promoted to the fifth level for a year, how could I possibly break through so quickly? However, Sixth Brother, you have been stuck at this level for a full four years. Back then, you entered the fifth level around the same time as Second Brother and Third Brother, and now they have already been promoted, yet you are still standing still. Hehe, you really need to work hard now"

He Qianyi's angry expression gradually faded as he said, "Yiming, I know you are working hard, but it is best not to go out at night"

He Yizhang let out a long sigh and said in a mocking tone, "Sixth brother, in my opinion, you should consider practicing a different technique; perhaps you might be able to break through to the sixth level in one go."

He Yi Ming quickly left the playground, his heart filled with anger, yet he had no outlet for it. He knew that if he were to resort to violence over such a verbal dispute, it would undoubtedly invite his father's punishment

Hejia Village is also considered a well-known estate in the vicinity. The old estate owner, He Wude, is a master who has cultivated his internal strength to the pinnacle level 10. Among the county towns within a radius of several hundred miles, he can be regarded as one of the most outstanding figures.

Fortunately, he ultimately did not see his father's figure, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. Hesitantly, he said: "Sixth Brother, actually Fifth Brother has a point. Why don't you try a different technique?"

He Qianyi had a faint smile on his serious face as he said, "Yiming, your reaction is quite good"

He Yiming slightly bowed and quickly returned to his room, swiftly changing into a new training outfit. He then hurried to the playground in the backyard, joining his brothers.

Yes

He Yiming hurriedly stepped forward, approached the man, and whispered, "Third Uncle"

He thought to himself: Is this really my biological brother

As soon as he walked away, the several children sat down on the ground in unison, including the two girls without exception

"Lao Qi, you must also work hard and strive to break through to the sixth level as soon as possible. This way, our family lineage can be far ahead of others," He Yizhang said solemnly.

The rules of the He family are very strict. Every morning, all third-generation descendants who have not yet been promoted to level six must participate in morning exercises. When He Yiming hurriedly returned from the lake, loud shouts had already been heard from the family training ground.

He Wude has three sons. Although they practice different attributes of martial arts, each son possesses at least an internal strength of level 8, with the eldest son, He Quanxin, having already advanced to level 9. As for the third generation, the eldest grandson, He Yitian, is only 21 years old this year, yet he has already cultivated his internal strength to the seventh level. From any perspective, he is the foremost among his peers.

Although the remaining children have not reached the genius level of the seventh tier, given their current ages, they can all be considered top choices. Therefore, the reputation of the He family village is indeed at its peak.

"Yiming, when will you break through to the fifth level?" A lazy voice emerged from among the boys.

He Yi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, his heart pounding vigorously. However, he did not turn around; he merely said coldly, "Thank you for your concern, Fifth Brother. I understand."

Having said that, he took large strides and walked forward

The four sons of my uncle's family have always advanced and retreated together, especially the eldest son, He Yitian, who is exceptionally gifted. At the young age of twenty, he has already successfully broken through to the seventh level of internal strength, earning unanimous approval from the entire family.

Fortunately, He Yizhang did not hear his younger brother's words; otherwise, he would surely have gone mad on the spot
