Ti quietly flowed onward once more.
Seasons rotated, and more than a year had already passed.
The battle between Lu Yang and Lu Ming gradually beca one of the frequently discussed topics among the younger generation of the Lu Family.
Especially among the mortal branch descendants, Lu Yang’s status had unknowingly risen to an entirely different level.
After all, for many years, the mortal branch had always lived beneath the shadow of the main line.
Resources, treatnt, status, instructors, dicinal baths... everything was inferior.
Yet Lu Yang had forcefully defeated one of the most dazzling main line geniuses publicly, displaying astonishing talent and comprehension ability.
Even if many people did not dare say it openly, countless mortal branch descendants had already begun regarding Lu Yang as their pride.
As for Lu Ming himself, after recovering from his injuries, he truly beca much quieter, at least outwardly.
Rumors even spread that his father, the seventh elder and a genuine Spirit Awakening Realm cultivator, had directly confined him for three months after learning of the battle results, forcing him to cultivate in seclusion and reflect upon himself.
anwhile, Lu Yang’s life gradually returned to calmness once more.
Cultivation, martial arts practice, dicinal baths, occasionally listening to clan lectures, and then cultivation again.
Compared to before, however, the resources supplied to him had increased significantly once more after entering the Second Stage of Body Tempering Realm. Even the quality of dicinal herbs distributed monthly had risen noticeably.
Within the quiet courtyard, steam slowly rose from a large dicinal bath barrel, bitter dicinal fragrance perating the surroundings.
Lu Yang sat cross-legged within the dicinal liquid silently.
Crimson Blood Qi circulated continuously beneath his skin as the dicinal effects were absorbed rapidly into his flesh and bones.
Compared to when he first arrived at the Lu Family, his appearance had already changed greatly.
Although only seven years old, his figure was taller and sturdier than ordinary children. His skin carried faint toughness beneath its surface, while the calmness within his eyes grew increasingly profound.
His face had faded much of its childishness, gradually becoming more handso and refined.
Monts later, Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes.
The dicinal liquid around him had already beco much clearer, its efficacy almost entirely absorbed.
He quietly clenched his fist beneath the water.
The Blood Qi within his body surged smoothly without the slightest obstruction.
Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm...
It’s ti now.
Over this past year, Lu Yang’s cultivation speed had slowed noticeably compared to before.
Naturally, this was only relative to his previous terrifying pace.
In reality, if his current cultivation speed were exposed outside, countless ordinary Body Tempering Realm cultivators would still be shocked speechless.
After all, many people required several years rely to advance one minor realm within the early stages of Body Tempering Realm.
Yet Lu Yang was about to achieve the Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm before even turning eight years old when he was rely a mortal just three years ago.
This speed was already enough to overwhelm all younger generation descendants within the Lu Family.
The reason he deliberately slowed himself slightly was naturally still caution.
The higher his displayed talent beca, the more attention gathered around him, and attention was not always a good thing.
Especially before possessing enough strength to protect himself completely.
That was why he specifically spent more ti than necessary to hone his combat skills and cultivate the Shattering Bone Palm and Flowing Cloud Steps, occasionally sparring with Guard Zhou.
The evening gradually deepened.
Soon afterward, Lu Yang stepped out from the dicinal bath quietly before changing into fresh robes.
The night breeze swept through the bamboo courtyard softly.
He slowly sat beneath the bamboo trees once more before beginning circulation of the Golden Vajra Body Tempering Qi and Blood thod.
The dense Blood Qi within his body gradually began surging violently.
His muscles trembled and bones vibrated faintly, warm Blood Qi currents repeatedly washing through every part of his body.
Just then,
Sothing seed to suddenly break!
*Boom!*
A muffled sound echoed faintly from within Lu Yang’s body.
The surrounding Blood Qi fluctuations instantly surged upward.
His skin faintly emitted a bronze luster before quickly stabilizing once more.
Monts later, Lu Yang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm.
Success!
A faint smile finally surfaced upon his usually calm face.
Just a week remained before his eighth birthday.
Such cultivation speed...
Even Lu Yang himself could not help feeling slightly emotional inwardly.
In his previous life, he had spent nearly three years rely breaking through from the Second Stage to the Third Stage.
Back then, every advancent had required painstaking accumulation and repeated life or death struggles.
Yet now, everything had gone so smoothly it was almost unreal.
Lu Yang quickly suppressed the emotional fluctuations within his heart.
This was only the Body Tempering Realm, the true path of cultivation had rely begun.
The next morning, the entire Lu Family was stirred once more.
Although the shock no longer reached the exaggerated level from before, many clan elders still revealed astonishnt after learning of Lu Yang’s breakthrough.
Breaking into the Third Stage before eight years old...
Such talent was truly enough to crown him the absolute top genius in the entire history of the Lu Family.
However, the Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm represented a subtle dividing line.
The breakthrough from the Third Stage to the Fourth Stage was considered a bottleneck by many cultivators.
Because beginning from the Fourth Stage, Body Tempering no longer focused rely on strengthening flesh and muscles superficially. Instead, one began tempering deeper bodily foundations gradually.
The difficulty increased drastically.
Thus, many people remained trapped at the Third Stage for years.
In his past life, Lu Yang had taken around six to seven years going from a newbie First Stage Body Tempering Realm cultivator to the Third Stage of Body Tempering Realm, yet it took him almost five more years to go from there to the Fourth Stage of Body Tempering Realm.
In the training grounds, Lu Shan silently swept his gaze across Lu Yang before finally nodding slowly.
"Not bad."
Although his tone remained calm, the approval within his eyes was impossible to conceal.
Soon afterward, he took out a sowhat thicker ancient manual from his robes, "This is the middle section of the Golden Vajra Body Tempering Qi and Blood thod."
Lu Yang’s eyes flickered slightly.
This portion of the cultivation thod was sufficient to cultivate until the peak Sixth Stage of Body Tempering Realm.
Normally speaking, cultivators only received it after fully reaching the peak of the Third Stage and displaying sufficient contributions or talent.
Yet Lu Yang had just broken through yesterday.
Clearly, the clan had already decided to invest heavily in him completely.
Lu Shan handed over the manual calmly.
"From today onward, this old man will personally instruct your cultivation until you break through into the Fourth Stage."
Hearing this, even several nearby clan cultivators revealed traces of envy instantly.
Personal guidance from Lu Shan, such treatnt was sothing ordinary younger generation descendants could only dream about.
Usually, others rely listened to lectures together once a week.
But Lu Yang was now receiving individual instruction directly from a Ninth Stage Body Tempering Realm expert.
Lu Yang accepted the manual respectfully, "Thank you, Instructor."
Lu Shan rely waved his sleeve lightly, "Your talent is worth this investnt."
Soon afterward, Lu Yang returned toward his courtyard alongside Guard Zhou.
The clan pathways remained bustling as usual, with servants carrying dicinal herbs repeatedly between various halls while younger generation descendants occasionally practiced martial arts nearby.
As Lu Yang walked quietly, several discussions nearby gradually drifted into his ears.
"... Have you heard?"
"The Twin Stars ca back from their travels yesterday."
"I heard both young master Lu Tianhe and young miss Lu Qingyu already stepped into the Sixth Stage of Body Tempering Realm..."
"At sixteen years old too..."
"They truly deserve their titles as the greatest geniuses of this generation."
Hearing those words, Lu Yang’s footsteps paused slightly.
The Twin Stars, he naturally knew of them.
Lu Tianhe and Lu Qingyu, a pair of siblings from the direct main line, children of the Family Head, publicly recognized as the strongest younger generation geniuses within the Lu Family currently.
Before Lu Yang appeared, nearly everyone believed the future of the Lu Family would belong to the two of them completely.
Sixth Stage of Body Tempering Realm at sixteen years old, quite impressive.
Even among sect disciples outside, such talent could be considered outstanding.
Guard Zhou glanced toward Lu Yang subtly.
However, Lu Yang rely listened quietly for several breaths before continuing forward, no remaining hint of any emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
He understood very clearly that sooner or later, he would surpass them.
With the Reincarnation Points invested in this life, remaining beneath contemporary geniuses of a Spirit Awakening Realm clan forever was impossible.
The so-called Twin Stars might currently stand at the peak of the younger generation, but that peak would eventually change.
A fire called ambition quietly burned within Lu Yang’s heart.
The spring breeze swept gently across the stone pathways.
Lu Yang’s robes fluttered lightly as he gradually disappeared into the distance.
...
anwhile, within a quiet pavilion sowhere deep inside the Lu Family estate, a pair of cold, beautiful eyes silently watched a report laid upon the table.
"Lu Yang..."
A low voice echoed faintly.
The fingers tapping against the table slowly paused.
Several monts later, the report was thrown into the darkness.
The figure sitting in the shadows slowly leaned backward.
Only a pair of indifferent eyes remained faintly visible within the darkness.
