Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed. There is now just over a month left until the Martial Arts Grand Assembly and the Martial Arts Selection Tournament.
During this time, Ye Tian's strength has improved again, reaching the late stage of a Nine-Dan Warrior. This speed is considered astonishing by other juniors of the Cold Family, but he himself feels extremely dissatisfied.
Because after spending two months and consuming a Vitality Pill, he still hasn't broken through to the Warrior Definition. What else could this be but a failure?
"Sigh... I've spent too much time on interpersonal relationships lately, neglecting my training. The Martial Arts Selection Tournament is about to begin, yet there remains a gap of four ranks between Xu Ao and me. Whether I can reach a level capable of fighting him in a month depends on you..."
Ye Tian looked down at the two Dan Pills in his hand, lost in thought.
Speaking of the stagnation in his training speed, it is definitely not due to Ye Tian's indulgence. Due to his consistently demonstrated extraordinary talent and strength, his popularity and status within the Cold Family have skyrocketed. In the end, he not only became close with Cold Frost, who was widely regarded as the best match for him but also became an idol-like figure among the younger generation of the Cold Family.
People are like that; once they become the focus of those around them, they become quite busy.
Over these past two months, Ye Tian has had to spend most of his time dealing with those who came seeking him. Most of these individuals are legitimate juniors of the Cold Family, but there are also some relatives and guards' children among them.
Their purposes vary; some admire this rare genius, some genuinely want to befriend Ye Tian, while many are sycophants. There are even a few figures at the level of Cold Family heads who have launched intense efforts to win Ye Tian over.
Initially, Ye Tian was indeed very polite and accommodating to these numerous guests with their various intentions. However, as he gradually realized that some people were not worth his attention, he decisively shut the door on those with ulterior motives. He then reserved his precious time for those who could genuinely befriend him.
During this period, Ye Tian has even spent much less time with Cold Frost. However, despite this, Cold Frost has been very understanding and has not thrown any tantrums like other girls might do. She understands that as her future husband, he will one day bear the responsibility of supporting the Cold Family. If he cannot even manage interpersonal relationships well, how could her father possibly trust him with such a large family business?
"Danyang Pill, Spirit Beast Inner Pill..."
In his hand, he held a Dan Pill made from Danyang Grass of Yellow Rank Nine, and another was the Inner Pill of a Silver-Maned Leopard, which he had nearly lost his life to obtain.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian carefully wrapped the Spirit Beast Inner Pill and put it away.
"I'll use the Danyang Pill first."
The Danyang Pill was of Yellow Rank Nine, while the Spirit Beast Inner Pill had medicinal properties comparable to Earth Level One. Although it seemed that there was only one rank difference between the two, the gap was actually quite significant.
It was similar to the difference between a Nine-Dan Warrior and a First-Dan Warrior; that difference could be measured in multiples.
Moreover, it was uncertain whether Ye Tian's body could withstand the Danyang Pill without any issues, let alone the Spirit Beast Inner Pill, which had medicinal properties several times stronger than the Danyang Pill.
He certainly did not want to experience that kind of torment again, where life felt worse than death.
"Hopefully, it won't be like last time..."
Ye Tian silently prayed in his heart and then swallowed the Danyang Pill in one gulp.
The first sensation was the same warmth he had felt before; it was a sign of the medicinal properties being released. However, as the medicinal power continuously seeped into his bones and veins, that warmth gradually transformed into a scorching heat.
At this moment, Ye Tian was drenched in sweat all over and couldn't help but feel unlucky.
"Judging by this sign, it seems this time won't be any better..."
The candle on the table burned slowly, having gone from a full length to less than half, with a pile of solidified wax accumulating in the candlestick.
"Hey, it seems like there isn't much torment after all, just a bit of overheating," Ye Tian said, shaking his head in confusion. The potency of the Danyang Pill was known to last a long time. While this indicated its strength, based on past experiences, one would expect such strong potency to bring Ye Tian unbearable suffering.
The heat continued to scorch every inch of Ye Tian's flesh. Although it was uncomfortable, it was far better than the previous times; it could even be described as somewhat pleasant.
"What is going on here..."
Ye Tian was someone who liked to delve into details, and he felt the need to understand this strange occurrence.
With that thought in mind, he opened the Spiritual Treasure Compendium and found the page detailing Danyang Grass, beginning to read it carefully.
When he first obtained Danyang Grass, he hadn't studied it closely because he had been overjoyed upon seeing the words "Yellow Rank Nine." He had planned to examine it thoroughly once he got home, but on his way back, he encountered the Li brothers, Li Ding and Li Li, and then a series of unexpected events unfolded that changed his fate. Thus, he hadn't had the chance to look into the detailed properties of Danyang Grass; he only remembered that it was a treasure of Yellow Rank Nine.
However, after his careful reading just now, he understood why the potent effects of Danyang Grass did not cause him much torment.
According to the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, Danyang was one of the mildest types among yang attribute spiritual medicines. Although its potency was indeed strong, as long as one's physical strength was sufficient, consuming it would result in an extremely warm and gentle sensation.
"Oh, so that's how it is..."
Ye Tian finally figured out the reason and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He smiled, recalling his previous experiences. Compared to the life-and-death struggles he had faced before, this time he could enjoy the continuous strengthening of his body while reading the Spiritual Treasure Compendium. The difference was simply enormous.
"If I had known, I would have taken the Danyang Pill first to enhance my body's endurance before consuming those Beneficial Herbs. That way, I would have avoided much of the torment."
Ye Tian began to regret not learning about the Danyang Grass sooner.
Sweat poured down; at this moment, it wasn't just his clothes that were soaked, but even the bedding beneath him was dampened.
"Ah, thank goodness!"
Ye Tian suddenly exclaimed, thinking to himself: "The fact that my body feels scorched rather than warm indicates that I haven't yet reached the level to fully endure the potency of the Danyang Grass. If I had taken it first, I would have been burned alive!"
With this thought, Ye Tian let out a heavy sigh, feeling wise for his gradual approach.
Time continued to slip away, and the candle flickered as it burned. The medicinal power within Ye Tian's body continued to emit heat at a constant temperature.
However, after enduring such a long period of scorching, this sensation had transformed from a minor torment into a pleasure for Ye Tian. At this moment, it felt as if his bones were being roasted to crispness, tingling and releasing warmth; it was incredibly refreshing.
Amidst this feeling of complete relaxation, Ye Tian gradually began to feel drowsy. Although he had stepped outside several times for fresh air, he still couldn't resist the encroaching sleepiness and eventually fell into a deep slumber without realizing it.
...
A cool sensation swept over him, and Ye Tian finally woke up after several hours of sleep.
The candle had completely burned out without him noticing, and the room was now shrouded in darkness.
He fumbled around until he found the candle and flint. With a crisp snap, blue flames erupted from the flint, igniting the candle.
A bright light instantly illuminated the simple little room.
Ye Tian climbed down from the bed and pushed open the window to look outside. The night sky was deep and dark, with no moonlight; however, by his estimation, it should be midnight.
"Ha..."
Taking a deep breath, he felt a sense of relaxation wash over him, but nothing seemed amiss.
"What’s going on? Did I not break through?"
Ye Tian began to feel puzzled. It was said that the process of a Nine-Dan Warrior advancing to Warrior Definition was a bottleneck that many could never overcome in their lifetime. He hoped he wasn't one of them...
"This is Yellow Tier Nine Grade Spirit Medicine!"
Ye Tianxin clenched his fist in shock. If the potency of Yellow Tier Nine Grade Spirit Medicine wasn't enough to help him transition from late Nine-Dan Warrior to Warrior Definition, then he wouldn't expect any progress in the near future.
However, this worry quickly dissipated as a powerful force surged from his tightly clenched fist. A faint Elemental Force Cyclone seemed to hiss as it swirled with the movement of his hand.
"Did I succeed?"
Ye Tianxin was overjoyed as he rushed into the small courtyard.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, making the cold winter night feel especially frigid.
However, he didn't care; the excitement he felt was so intense that even if he dove naked into a snow pile, it would likely not bring him back to reality.
"Ha!"
With a joyful shout, his fist cut through the air with a whooshing sound, tracing a perfect arc.
Bang!
With a loud crash, a large stone was shattered by Ye Tian. Stone fragments flew in all directions, some even striking him directly.
He felt a slight pain, but Ye Tian seemed oblivious, fully immersed in the surrounding Elemental Force Cyclone.
At this moment, both his speed and strength had undergone a qualitative leap. As he extended his fist and palm, the Elemental Force Cyclone buzzed and surged in response; this sensation was simply marvelous.
"Is this what it feels like to embody the Warrior Definition?"
Ye Tian gazed fervently at the deep night sky, an overwhelming excitement swelling within him.
