The Tang Family’s strongest Cultivation Technique was a Profound Tier Lower Grade technique called the Purifying Water Technique. Only disciples with outstanding Talent were permitted to cultivate it.
The Purifying Water Technique was relatively gentle and emphasized gradual progress, resulting in a solid foundation. However...
The Cultivation Speed was incomparably slow!
As for the ordinary Tang Family Members, it was even worse. Due to limitations in resources and Talent, they could only practice Yellow Tier Cultivation Techniques.
Cultivating these Low Level techniques, which were no better than what you’d find at a street stall, was as slow as a turtle’s crawl. The limited accomplishments of the Tang Family Members were a direct result of their inferior Cultivation Techniques.
But there was nothing to be done about it. After all, the Tang Family was just one of the Noble Families in Fengyue City, and their resources were limited.
That was why Tang Yi planned to exchange for three Earth Tier Cultivation Techniques. He was preparing them for the Tang Family.
Previously, Tang Yi had been vexed about how to help the Tang Family. He possessed many Earth Tier Martial Techniques and Skills, but they were all "drops" that he automatically learned upon acquiring them. They were impossible to teach to others.
The Cultivation Techniques purchased from the System Store, however, were different. They came in the form of small manuals that could be given to others to use.
Tang Yi browsed the Cultivation Technique section for a moment before selecting three Earth Tier Lower Grade techniques. (He had no choice; he couldn’t afford any High Level ones.) They were the Flowing Water Penetrating Clouds Technique, the Heaven-Overturning Earth-Trembling Technique, and the Electric Flash Thunder Roar Technique.
Tang Yi had purchased all three techniques specifically for Tang Piaomiao and the other two. Each one cost 50 Battle God Points, for a total of 150.
He now only had 45 Battle God Points left, a significant drop, but Tang Yi felt no regret. ’As long as it helps the Tang Family rise, these Battle God Points are well worth spending.’
After selecting the Cultivation Techniques, Tang Yi exited the System Store. He then fought in two more matches. As expected, he won both of them easily under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The crowd began to see Tang Yi as a top contender. The calls for him to take first place in the qualification exam grew louder, and his reputation was now on par with Fan Wei’s.
Everyone wanted to see who truly was the number one genius of Fengyue City’s younger generation: Tang Yi or Fan Wei!
The first day of the third round of competition passed quickly, filled with tension, surprise, and delight.
Everyone had fought ten matches in turn. At this rate, the third round of the qualification exam would be over in about five days.
After the first day of competition ended, the results were tallied. Aside from Tang Yi’s astonishing record of ten consecutive wins, the results of the other Tang Family Members were also incredibly brilliant!
In their ten matches, Tang Piaomiao won nine, and Tang Baijie won seven. Even Tang Shu, who had the lowest Level, did better than Tang Baijie, winning eight!
Thanks to the Attribute Pills, the three of them had experienced a stunning Soaring Leap in strength, placing them in the upper-middle tier among the fifty-plus examinees.
Of course, after consuming so many of his Attribute Pills, Tang Yi wouldn’t have let them off the hook if their results had been any worse!
Once the results were tallied, the crowd dispersed amidst a buzz of discussion. After returning home, Tang Yi summoned Tang Piaomiao, Tang Baijie, and Tang Shu to his residence.
"Brother Yi, you were looking for us?" Tang Piaomiao said excitedly as soon as he entered. "Did you see our matches today? You have no idea! I didn’t even use half my strength, and I still flattened those examinees from the other Noble Families. This feeling of power is just incredible!"
Tang Piaomiao’s voice was loud enough to pierce the heavens, a clear sign of his excitement.
"What are you getting so worked up about? This is all thanks to Brother Yi, isn’t it? If it weren’t for those... things he gave us, do you think you’d have gotten this strong?" Tang Baijie almost blurted out "Attribute Pills," but she remembered Tang Yi telling them to keep it a secret and quickly bit her tongue. She shot Tang Piaomiao an irritated glare.
"Yes, yes, you’re right, Sister! It’s all thanks to my Brother Yi! And you were amazing today, too. Your results were great," Tang Piaomiao quickly complimented.
But hearing his compliment didn’t make Tang Baijie happy. Instead, she feigned anger and said, "You little brat, are you looking for a beating? You’re deliberately making fun of me!"
"How? I was clearly praising you, Sister!" Tang Piaomiao said, feeling completely wronged.
"What do you mean ’how’? My results were the worst of the three of us. Even that little girl Tang Shu won eight matches, while I only won seven. If that’s not making fun of me, what is? If you want to talk about impressive, that girl Tang Shu is the one who’s truly impressive!" Tang Baijie retorted.
Still, when it came to Tang Shu, she had to admit she was impressed.
Despite having the lowest strength, she had managed to defeat opponents stronger than herself. It was truly astonishing.
"Er," Tang Piaomiao was rendered speechless. He glanced at Tang Shu, thinking, ’This little girl usually seems so sweet and well-behaved. How does she get so vicious in a fight?’
Tang Piaomiao had watched a few of Tang Shu’s matches. The moment she stepped onto the stage, that girl was just ruthless. She showed absolutely no mercy with her attacks, using whatever was most powerful. She never gave her opponents a chance to breathe, maintaining an all-out offense until the very end of the match. It was a complete berserker mode!
It was hard to imagine that the Tang Shu who was usually all sweet smiles and honeyed words could hide such a violent little Demon in her heart.
Only when she stepped into the ring did this little Demon bare its fangs.
"Sister Baijie, you’re just joking. Today’s matches are only the beginning. I was only able to win eight matches because my opponents weren’t that strong, and because I gave it my all. As for my future results, we’ll have to wait until the end to see. We can’t let our guard down. Right, Brother Tang Yi?"
Tang Shu had reverted to her sweet and obedient self. After her humble reply to Tang Baijie, she turned her head to look at Tang Yi.
"Yes, that’s a great way to think. Always remember that pride comes before a fall. That’s the only way to keep getting stronger," Tang Yi said, nodding like a seasoned veteran. Then, his tone shifted as he praised them, "But your performance today was truly excellent. You’ve already exceeded my expectations. I hope you keep it up!"
"We will!"
The three of them declared in unison.
"By the way, Brother Yi, you still haven’t told us why you called us here. You didn’t just summon us for a lecture, did you?" Tang Piaomiao asked bluntly.
"Shut up. Nothing good ever comes out of that mouth of yours. Of course Brother Yi has a reason for calling us here," Tang Baijie chided.
Hearing that, Tang Piaomiao obediently shut his mouth and fell silent.
Meanwhile, Tang Shu, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something. A joyful expression appeared on her face as she said sweetly, "Brother Tang Yi, do you have more good things for us? This is great! Brother Tang Yi is giving out presents again!"
As she spoke, she walked over to Tang Yi, grabbed his arm, and began to wheedle him happily.
Behaving like this, even if Tang Yi hadn’t planned on giving them anything, her adorable coaxing would have forced his hand.
"Ah! No way! Brother Yi, you have more good stuff for us?" Tang Piaomiao exclaimed in surprise.
A look of anticipation immediately spread across his face.
The last time Tang Yi sought them out, he had given them a large number of Attribute Pills to help them improve their strength, which was the reason for their great results today.
Now that Tang Yi had sought them out again, could it be that he had even more good things for them?
This filled Tang Piaomiao with immense anticipation.
