Chapter 383: Chapter 269: Reunion_3

"So it really is the eldest senior brother," Shou Hou also began to get excited.

Rong Niang, standing aside, remained silent, but her beautiful eyes sparkled with an indescribable brilliance, her heart immediately lifted, and she looked on with eager anticipation.

"Hah!"

Li Yi arrived on horseback. He pulled to a stop in front of the doors of the martial arts hall and then dismounted.

"Brother Yi."

"Eldest senior brother."

"Senior brother."

All three of them went up to greet him, their faces filled with joy.

"Good, you all look very spirited, which puts my mind at ease," Li Yi said with a smile, nodding his head before he scanned their conditions, satisfied with their states.

Indeed, evolution of the body truly makes a difference.

Unfortunately, in this world, where cosmic energy is scarce, three months’ time was not enough for them to activate their Spirit Medium, but the evolution of their bodies had already shown benefits for the path of martial arts. They were now considered talents and gems in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, with definitely no low achievements awaiting them in the future.

"Brother Yi looks more imposing than a few months ago," Zhao Qian spoke. Now an Evolver herself, she could sense the gap between herself and Li Yi more keenly.

"I suppose the eldest senior brother has made progress in his strength recently; that’s expected. With senior brother’s talent, breaking through in cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking. Over three months have passed; senior brother must have reached a new realm," Shou Hou said with a chuckle, lavishing praise.

Li Yi said, "My cultivation was somewhat delayed recently, not much progress, just reached the Refining Realm, by the way, is master in the martial arts hall?"

"Master has been waiting in the hall ever since he heard the eldest senior brother was coming back," Rong Niang said with a smile.

"Let’s go and pay our respects to master first," Li Yi said.

They all immediately agreed and followed behind.

After entering Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, Li Yi found a new batch of disciples inside, very young, about ten years old, being taught by other junior brothers, working on Muscle Training to prepare for future martial arts training.

"Senior brother, these are the new disciples we’ve recruited recently. However, they haven’t passed the assessment yet. They’ll be able to officially join Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall as formal disciples after another three months’ assessment," Rong Niang explained from the side.

Zhao Qian also nodded and said, "The martial arts hall has reopened, and it’s essential to have new disciples. Without them, the legacy cannot continue. But after the last setback, father places more emphasis on character than talent this time. If the character isn’t up to par, even if the talent is there, father won’t accept them."

"Of course, when it comes to talent, who can compare with the eldest senior brother? The martial arts hall doesn’t lack experts now, but the backbone is needed all the more, and naturally, character is more important," Shou Hou said smilingly.

"Indeed, character is more important than talent. We can’t possibly nurture an ingrate while training disciples," Li Yi nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, they quickly arrived at the Zhao Family’s Martial Arts Hall’s main hall.

At this moment, Zhao Ge, their master, was already standing at the entrance of the hall.

Compared to three months ago, Zhao Ge had also undergone a significant change. The wrinkles on his face had vanished, his slightly hunched back had straightened up again, his slightly gaunt body had become robust once more, and even his originally graying hair had turned completely black. He looked as though he had rejuvenated by twenty years, almost unrecognizable.

This transformation was to be expected.

Because Zhao Ge’s injuries were fully healed, besides that, his lost life span had been replenished, and he had also embarked on the path of evolution, enhancing his bodily functions. His qi-blood not only returned to its peak, but there was also a trend of continuous rise.

As long as he doesn’t encounter ghosts shortening his life span, he was very confident that his martial arts realm would advance further, breaking through to become a Gang Refining Expert.

With his spirit revived, Zhao Ge didn’t look a bit dejected. Instead, he was spirited and commanding, standing with his hands behind his back, like a mountain that loomed over everyone’s hearts.

With such a master presiding over the martial arts hall, even if Li Yi were to leave, it would be rare for anyone to cause trouble within Sanyang City.

"Disciple Li Yi, greets master," Li Yi took three steps that equaled two, immediately stepping forward to bow and salute with cupped fists.

"Good, good, good. It’s good to have you back. We’re all one family, no need for such formality," Zhao Ge stated joyously, promptly helping Li Yi to his feet.

Upon touching his hand, he felt the surging, boundless qi-blood within Li Yi, a qi-blood so immense it was unfathomable, like a calm river, with the potential to stir horrifying waves if it got turbulent.

This is, refining... Zhao Ge was shocked again.

Though it had been just over three months since they last saw each other, Li Yi mastering refining was within expectations, but his qi-blood was so much more vigorous it was nearly inhuman.

"Your qi-blood..." Then, Zhao Ge couldn’t help but ask, "Inconceivable. Your physique has once again transformed. Is there truly no end to the path of cultivation?"

Although he was an Evolver as well, compared to Li Yi, he was in a completely different league.

"Father, how can you only care about Brother Yi’s cultivation? Brother Yi has just returned today. Shouldn’t we properly welcome him back?" Zhao Qian quickly interjected.

"Right, right," Zhao Ge then came to his senses, realizing it wasn’t the right time to discuss cultivation.

"Come, my disciple, it’s rare for you to be back. You must keep your master company and drink a few jars. Today, our family won’t return until we’re drunk," he declared with a loud laugh, feeling very cheerful.

Li Yi, sensing the gallant and hearty laughter of his master, knew that his master’s spirit had returned and was also very happy. He wasn’t fond of drinking, but he planned to keep him company wholeheartedly today.

However, at the time the Zhao Family’s Martial Arts Hall was holding the banquet,

In the City Lord Mansion of Sanyang City, a somber atmosphere pervaded among the gathered experts.
