154: Chapter 154 Tribulation

Above the Ye Family Villa, a dark cloud gathered suddenly, blocking the first glimmer of dawn. The Ye Family Disciples who were up early to Cultivate saw this and felt curious. Why was it about to rain so suddenly on such a fine day?

"Lightning Tribulation!"

A knowledgeable Ye Family Martial Artist exclaimed, pointing at the sky.

As this shocking news spread, all the Martial Artists in the Ye Family Villa were awakened, looking towards the ancestral hall, the place where the Lightning Tribulation was gathering.

"Who is having a Breakthrough?"

"It's in the direction of the ancestral hall."

"Quick, quick, quick, go take a look!"

Before everyone could gather, the first bolt of Lightning Tribulation flashed with a cold glint and struck violently above the exquisite small tower.

"Boom!"

The first Lightning Tribulation struck the pointed corner above the small tower. The Formation inside the tower operated naturally, purifying the violent energy into relatively gentle energy. When it hit Ye Yisong, who was sitting on the first floor of the tower, lightning flashed around his body, causing him to grunt involuntarily, but that was all.

Although the power of the Lightning Tribulation was violent and painful when it hit, it was not without benefits. A Martial Artist's Physical Body would become stronger and firmer after being tempered by the Lightning Tribulation.

Ye Yisong's Physical Body was already at the Perfection of the third Realm. Now, tempered by the Lightning Tribulation, his Physical Body was slowly undergoing a transformation, and would eventually reach the fourth Realm level, just like his Cultivation.

"Boom!"

The first Lightning Tribulation had just ended when the second one followed closely, striking Ye Yisong mercilessly again.

Having learned from the first experience, Ye Yisong did not retreat but advanced instead when facing the second Lightning Tribulation. He rose up and headed straight for the Lightning Tribulation at the top of the tower. He wanted to see just how violent this unpurified Lightning Tribulation was and whether it could bring even purer tempering to his Physical Body.

"The Ye Family?" Wei Chengyue stood on a mountain peak with his hands behind his back, watching the movement here, his brows furrowing involuntarily. The Ye Family had developed too quickly over the past hundred years, showing signs of faintly surpassing the Wang Family.

"Is it Ye Yisong?" Young Master Qi also felt the pressure of the Lightning Tribulation and guessed in his heart. According to the Family intelligence, only Ye Yisong in the Ye Family Villa met the criteria at this moment.

Feeling the pressure from his peers, Young Master Qi went to the outside of Wei Chengyue's Cultivation Immortal Cave alone, used his Family contribution points to exchange for a fourth Realm Low Grade barrier-breaking pill, and reported to the Elder that he was preparing to go into seclusion to make a Breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor Realm in the coming time.

After obtaining Wei Chengyue's approval, he went to a Cultivation room near a fourth Realm Spiritual Vein in the Wei Family Villa, intending not to come out until he had broken through his Realm.

Young Master Qi had his own pride and would never allow a peer Martial Artist to surpass him by too much. He had originally wanted to wait and polish his Cultivation for a few more months before attempting a Breakthrough.

At this moment of Ye Yisong's Breakthrough, he did not want to wait even a second longer. Only by keeping up with his figure could he avoid falling too far behind.

"The Ye Family?" Wang Jingcheng also felt the pressure of the Lightning Tribulation coming from the Ye Family Villa, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenching even tighter.

"So what if he has a Breakthrough? He will still die at my hands." Wang Jingyu said dismissively, still leisurely eating the breakfast on his plate. "Third Brother, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold. It wasn't easy for me to catch this fourth Realm Jade Mouse in the forest; the meat is still so fresh and sweet."

"Is it you?" Wang Xianliang, who was in the seclusion room, whispered to himself.

Ever since the Prefecture Examination ended, Wang Xianliang had applied to the Family for an Immortal Cave with a fourth Realm Spiritual Vein, preparing for the Breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor Realm.

"I didn't expect you to have a Breakthrough so quickly. You have stepped ahead of me after all." Wang Xianliang looked in the direction of the Lightning Tribulation and sighed, then closed his eyes again and devoted himself to polishing his Cultivation. He was confident that he would definitely be able to reach the Martial Ancestor Realm within this month, so he didn't need to envy others.

With Ye Yisong's Breakthrough, both Young Master Qi and Wang Xianliang felt the pressure. Wang Xianliang was fine; being slightly older, he could still calm down, polish himself, and check for gaps. Young Master Qi was young after all, with a high spirit. Having lost once, he could not bear to lose to Wang Xianliang again, so he immediately operated his Cultivation Technique and entered a state of Breakthrough.

"He succeeded." As the sky cleared up again and the fourth Realm pressure emanated from the small tower, Grandfather Ye Tuantu said excitedly, his grandson had grown up.

"Tuantu, congratulations, congratulations!" Grand Elder Ye Ronghui joked, "From now on, three generations of grandfather, son, and grandson are all Martial Ancestor powerhouses, which is truly enviable."

"Uncle, please don't make fun of me." Grandfather Ye Tuantu immediately cupped his hands in salute, "It is also because this child is promising, hahaha."

"Great Uncle, Grandfather." Ye Yisong walked out of the small tower with a heroic bearing and saluted the two Elders who had guarded him all night.

"Good, good, good." Grand Elder Ye Ronghui said the word 'good' three times in a row, looking gratified at this junior of the 'Yi' generation who was the first to have a Breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor Realm. No matter how he looked at it, it was pleasing.

"Hahaha." Grandfather Ye Tuantu looked at his darling grandson, his laughter shaking the clouds. He praised Ye Jiesheng again for giving him such a good grandson; next time he saw him, he could scold him a little less.

"Alright, Tuantu, restrain yourself a bit." While Grand Elder Ye Ronghui was lecturing Grandfather Ye Tuantu, he himself could not stop smiling. A thousand words could not describe the joy in their hearts at this moment.

If the Elders of the Family knew this news, their faces would probably be twisted with laughter.

"Take Yisong out to greet everyone. Those brats outside are probably waiting anxiously." Grand Elder Ye Ronghui instructed, then went to offer incense to the ancestors alone. Before leaving, he reminded Ye Yisong, "Come to me later. I have something to give you."

"Yes, Great Uncle." Ye Yisong bowed and said.

"Thirteenth Brother, you... you, have a Breakthrough." Ye Yiguang said with a loveless expression. Although he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, it had come too quickly. The group of them had grown up together, and the gap was getting wider and wider.

Ye Yiguang was even thinking at this moment whether he should listen to Ye Yisong and put romantic matters aside to focus on Martial Dao cultivation.

But when he thought of Shangguan Yunque's graceful figure, his body trembled involuntarily. Romantic matters were still more important; as for Martial Dao... he would just have to Cultivate harder in the future.

"Congratulations, Thirteenth Brother (Thirteenth Young Master)." Ye Yitian, Ye Yifan, and Uncle Jiefu crowded to the front and congratulated him at the same time, all showing envious eyes. Especially Ye Yitian, who had a trace of jealousy in his eyes, although he hid it very well, it was still discovered by Ye Yisong.

Ye Yisong patted Ye Yitian's shoulder and said affirmatively: "I believe you can do it too."

"Yes, thank you, Thirteenth Brother." Ye Yitian nodded firmly.

"Congratulations, Thirteenth Young Master, congratulations, Thirteenth Young Master." The clansmen who came along congratulated him loudly together. There was another Martial Ancestor powerhouse in the Family, and a young Martial Ancestor at that. Everyone felt excited.
