Volume 1: Wudao Xiantian Chapter 10: Breaking Through Oneself

  "Master, whose handprints are these?" Su Qiaoqiao asked as she discovered the palm prints on the stone wall were of a completely different size from Ye Xu's.

  These handprints are next to the ones Ye Yu left behind, some are extremely large, like a bear's paw, while others are very delicate, as if they were left by a woman.

  Especially the palm print left by that slender hand, extremely overbearing, the last few palm prints even burned the stone wall, it is clear that the person who left the palm print was cultivating a kind of fierce and unparalleled martial arts, quite vigorous!

  "The large palm print is what Zhou Shiwen, Zhou Shixiong left behind. I also encountered him here and had a fierce battle with him. Since then, every month at this time, he would wait for me in this place to compete with me."

  Ye Xujing stood in front of the stone wall, calming his mind and circulating his true energy. He slowly closed his eyes and said calmly, "The delicate palm print should be left by Fang Chenfang Sheng, but he has never shown up."

  Fang Chen is the pride of the Fang family, a renowned family in Wu Huang's world. In Liu Zhou City, he is as famous as Ye Xu and Zhou Shiwen, and Su Qiaoqiao has also heard of him.

  This person's martial arts cultivation is extremely terrifying, and is in no way inferior to Ye Xuan and Zhou Shiwen. He is the most outstanding genius of the Fang family!

  He left his palm print on the stone wall, one aspect was to verify his own strength, and another aspect was also to proclaim his greatness to Ye Xu and Zhou Shiwen!

  However, Ye Xu and Zhou Shiwen have a big battle here every month. Fang Chen hides in the dark and does not show up, indicating that he is not confident of defeating them.

  Wow!

  Ye Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, shining brightly, and struck a palm towards the stone wall!

  He returned to his old haunt, just to test his own strength and see how much of a difference there was between now and then!

  Bang!

  His palm landed on the stone wall, and instantly shattered stones flew everywhere, leaving a deep palm print nearly an inch deep on the stone wall!

  Su Jiao was startled, and hastily leaned over to take a closer look. After comparing it with the palm print Ye Xu had left behind years ago, she was both shocked and delighted: "Young Master, you've cultivated your Cang Ming Lian Ti Jue to the fourth level? So fast!"

  "No, still in the third realm boundary."

  Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, carefully sizing up the situation. The first time he had left his faint palm print on the stone wall was when he was in the third realm of the Cang Ming Cultivation Technique. And this time, he had struck out with another palm at the same realm, but the power of his palm was far greater and more powerful than before! No wonder Su Jiao Jiao had mistakenly thought that he had already cultivated to the fourth realm!

  The depth of his palm print is even deeper than the fourth level, close to the fifth level!

  Within the same boundary, his palm strength had actually increased several times, reaching a height that only the fourth heavy peak could achieve. This result was also hard for him to believe!

  His true energy was indeed much more powerful than his own at the same level in the past, but it still couldn't produce this effect. After all, the quality of the fourth layer of Tianming True Energy far surpassed that of the third layer.

  This can only prove that after his rebirth, the quality and quantity of his true energy far surpass those of before!

  In the past, he was extremely skilled in martial arts, and in the entire Liu Zhou City, only Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen could compare with him. Now that he has been reborn, the quality of his true energy far surpasses what it was before, doesn't this mean that his innate talent is even more outstanding than before?

  "Could it be the effect of that green jade tree sapling in the White Jade Pavilion?" Ye Xu pondered silently.

  At this moment, he had a relatively clear understanding of his own strength and did not need to stay here. He immediately returned to the horse farm with Su Jiaojiao.

  On the way back, Su Yaotou was still full of enthusiasm, her small fist waving back and forth: "Young Master, in the future I also want to leave my own handprint on the stone wall!"

  "Then you need to work hard." Ye Xu said with a smile.

  After returning to the horse farm for a few days, Ye Xu found that several stable boys who managed the stables were pointing at him with malicious intentions and sometimes deliberately picking on him.

  "It seems that Qiankun Hand Ye Lidao is indeed not giving up, bribing Ma Nu to deal with me. This old dog is tired of living!"

  Ye Xu was not provoked by the several Ma Nu, after cleaning up the horse stable he continued to focus on his cultivation. In these few days, the Cang Ming Lian Ti Jue had already been cultivated to the third peak of the realm, with twenty-seven dark green clouds accumulated in his Dantian, and his strength was even more powerful.

  Since he was abolished, Su Qiaoqiao seemed to have been stimulated and devoted herself to martial arts. Seeing her so hardworking, even sometimes making Ye Xuan feel ashamed.

  While cultivating, he also guided Su Qiaoqiao in her martial arts practice. Ye Xu's days were spent in joy and harmony, even more so than his previous glorious days.

  On this clear morning, Ye Xu had just finished sweeping the stable when he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps approaching. He looked up to see a sturdy middle-aged man, accompanied by six or seven grooms, rushing into the stable with a slightly darkened expression.

  This sturdy man named Sha Tongtian was the leader of the horse slaves, responsible for managing the stables. For several days now, Sha Tongtian had not given Ye Xuan a good face, either making him re-sweep the stables or humiliating and mocking him in every way.

  Sha Tongtian, accompanied by a group of slaves, walked towards Ye Xu, suddenly clapping his hands loudly. Immediately, a slave brought over a table and chairs. Sha Tongtian sat down with a flourish, one slave holding up a parasol, two others fanning him with fans, and several more bringing over fruit platters, looking like they were waiting for a good show to begin.

  He glanced at Ye Xu, and Sha Tongtian suddenly smiled gloomily, saying in a stern voice: "As a horse slave, you must first understand pharmacology. When the horse is sick, you must know what disease it has before you can prescribe medicine. Ye Shao Bao, you're new here, so diagnosing horses will be your first lesson. Someone, bring that green horse over!"

  After a moment, a groom led up a fine sorrel horse; the horse's belly rumbled like thunder and it walked with a limp, clearly unwell.

  Sha Tong Tianming ordered someone to bring an iron shovel, scooped up a pile of horse dung and placed it in front of Ye Xu, sneering: "Youngster, eat this pile of horse dung, then tell me what disease this green horse has contracted!"

  Ye Xuan's face sank slightly, it was clear that Sha Tongtian had already been bribed by Ye Li, the outer door manager of the Ye Manor, and was intentionally making things difficult for him.

  Sha Tongtian revealed a sly smile and said, "Youngster, if you don't eat the horse dung, it will ruin my rules! Ruining my rules means asking for a beating! If you ate this pile of horse dung and couldn't tell what disease this green horse has, that would also ruin my rules and you'd still get a beating!"

  A servant sneered and said: "Even if you guess correctly, what can you do? The official will still manipulate you as he pleases."

  Shatong Tian burst out laughing, looking very pleased with himself, and clearly had no intention of denying it.

  Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then walked up to the blue horse and smiled slightly, saying: "Boss, I already know what disease this blue horse is suffering from."

  Shatong Tian's face turned gloomy: "Ye Shaobao, you can eat recklessly, but you can't speak recklessly. If you say something wrong, it's malpractice, and in my stable, malpractice is a capital offense!"

  "This I naturally understand. Sha Guan's case, this horse is suffering from..."

  Ye Xuan suddenly flipped over his palm and gently pressed it on the center of Qingyu horse's forehead, smiling: "Die, illness!"

  A horse head the size of a dipper was slapped into its belly by him, and it fell to the ground with a crash without making a sound, dead as can be!
