Huo Dongcheng's face quickly turned gloomy.
Not only was Huo Leqing an Innate Expert, but he was also Huo Dongcheng's biological grandfather. The old man would never deliberately hurt Huo Dongcheng's confidence, so he was disheartened after receiving such an evaluation. Even though He Yiming once said that Huo Dongcheng could advance to the Innate Realm and even surpass it, Huo Dongcheng did not quite believe it.
He Yiming frowned and scoffed. "Brother Huo, my opinion is different from yours." He went straight to the point. "In my opinion, Dongcheng's talent is extremely rare, and not even one in ten million people can match him. However, he doesn't have the right cultivation method now, so he can't unleash his special talent at all. He has repeatedly tried to break through the fifth barrier, but he hasn't succeeded once. Hehe … "
There was a naked and undisguised contempt in his eyes.
Huo Leqing and the other two looked at each other. Zhang Heti and the Huo family had been friends for generations, so he was familiar with Huo Dongcheng's situation. He knew that Huo Dongcheng had lost control when he was cultivating the third level of the water cultivation method.
It was not a common occurrence, but it was not rare either. Among ten people who had cultivated for a few years, there would always be a few who would experience similar situations. This meant that Huo Dongcheng's physique was not suitable for this cultivation method.
Therefore, he changed to a fire cultivation method, but after reaching the peak of the fifth level, he stagnated again.
Zhang Heti had once investigated Huo Dongcheng's physique under Huo Leqing's invitation, but he found nothing. Therefore, they unanimously agreed that Huo Dongcheng's physique and talent were not suitable for martial arts cultivation.
Although Huo Dongcheng had worked very hard, they still felt rather regretful.
However, judging from He Yiming's tone, it seemed that it was not Huo Dongcheng's physique that was not suitable, but that there was a problem with the way they taught him.
The two Innate Experts' faces slowly darkened. He Yiming's words were not polite at all, and they were almost slapped in the face.
A moment later, Huo Leqing forced a smile and said, "Brother He, Brother He, can you tell us how special Dongcheng's physique is?"
He Yiming shook his head slightly and said without hesitation, "I have decided to recommend Dongcheng to my close friend. As for what is special about Dongcheng's constitution, it will be up to him to decide. I will tell you whether or not to tell you."
The corner of Huo Leqing's eyes twitched slightly. Fortunately, his self-restraint was indeed good. Moreover, before he fully understood He Yiming's strength and the power behind him, he was unwilling to offend such an unknown Innate Ranker.
"Brother He, Dongcheng is my grandson after all. If your friend really wants to take him as his disciple, please ask him to come in person." Huo Leqing took a deep breath and said sternly, "As long as he can beat me by half a move, I will let Dong Cheng become my disciple."
He Yiming had a strange look in his eyes, and there was a hint of ridicule in them.
In his mind, a scene of Huo Leqing and Chu Haozhou confronting each other appeared.
However, what made He Yiming very suspicious was that even if Chu Haozhou did not use the Dragon Whip, Huo Leqing would not be able to take one move from him.
He Yiming coughed lightly and said very ambiguously, "Brother Huo, the master I introduced to Dongcheng is very good in martial arts cultivation. He is not inferior to He. If you want to fight with him, I'm afraid …"
Although he did not continue, as long as one was not an idiot, the meaning in his words could be understood. He was afraid that Huo Leqing was not qualified.
Huo Leqing was so angry that he laughed. He suddenly stood up and said, "Brother He, thank you for saving my son. I am very grateful. I heard from Brother Zhang that Brother He's cultivation is unfathomable. I wonder if you can teach me a few moves."
Huo Hongsheng's face also changed slightly. He Yiming was his savior, but Huo Leqing was his father. He Yiming's tone just now made him feel very uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and did not dare to look at him again.
He Yiming pondered for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Huo Leqing took a step back and said, "Brother He, let's go to the back of the mountain to compete."
If a competition between Innate Experts was evenly matched, it would cause great damage to the surrounding environment. This was the Huo Family's courtyard, so Huo Leqing was naturally unwilling to compete here.
He Yiming could not help but laugh and shook his head gently.
Huo Leqing's face changed slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since Brother He is unwilling to move, then we can compete here."
He took a few more steps back and said, "Hongsheng, Dongcheng, you two can leave now."
Although Huo Hongsheng and Dongcheng Heti were worried, they knew that they had no right to speak in such an occasion. Just as they were about to leave submissively, He Yiming's voice slowly rang out.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble, Brother Huo. If you can hurt them in the slightest in front of me, it will be my loss."
Everyone present was stunned. Then, the entire room suddenly became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
Zhang Heti's face changed slightly, and he felt uneasy.
On the ship, he had tested He Yiming, but when he used 70% of his essential Qi, there was no reaction at all. He could not measure He Yiming's depth at all.
Now that he heard He Yiming's boast, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Could it be that He Yiming's cultivation had reached One-Line-Heaven?
Huo Leqing also gasped. The anger in his heart suddenly disappeared as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.
He took a deep look at He Yiming, hesitated for a moment, and bowed deeply respectfully. He said, "Brother He, please give me some pointers."
He Yiming waved his hand slightly and said, "Go ahead."
Looking at He Yiming, who was sitting casually in the chair, Huo Leqing suddenly found that he could not feel the slightest anger at all.
Given that Ou Yangming looked so young, if he was really a One-Line-Heaven powerhouse, his future would be limitless. How could he provoke him?
Nevertheless, since he was about to make a move, Huo Leqing immediately cast aside all thoughts and stretched out his hands.
Above his hands, there was a bright red color. Even the surrounding space had a slight change of red.
Huo Leqing cultivated a fire-attribute cultivation technique, which had considerable offensive power among the 5 elements.
He Yiming was still smiling as he looked at him. Such a relaxed attitude actually gave everyone a strange feeling.
It seemed like Huo Leqing was doing his best to practice martial arts, and He Yiming, a senior expert, was admiring him and would point out his flaws at any time.
Zhang Heti shook his head and cast the absurd thought away.
However, in the next moment, he immediately felt that something was not quite right. He frowned and looked at He Yiming, who was relaxed and did not care at all, as well as Huo Leqing, who was ready to make a move. Huo Leqing suddenly understood what was wrong.
Huo Leqing was an Innate Stage powerhouse who was on good terms with him, and he had now condensed his fire-attribute essential Qi to the peak.
Under normal circumstances, this momentum alone would be unbelievably powerful. It would be enough to paralyze Huo Hongsheng and Huo Leqing, and it would be enough for Huo Leqing to do his best to resist.
However, at this moment, not only did Huo Leqing not feel this huge pressure at all, but Huo Hongsheng and Huo Dongcheng also looked calm as if they were not affected at all.
Huo Leqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He finally understood why He Yiming allowed Huo Hongsheng and Huo Leqing to stay. It was because he was too strong. Compared to him, Huo Leqing was like a mantis blocking a chariot, or a moth flying into a flame.
Huo Leqing was about to speak, but when he caught a glimpse of He Yiming's smiling eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he dared not speak at all.
Huo Leqing did not notice anything strange about his surroundings. His essential Qi had already been condensed. Since He Yiming was so arrogant, he would not be polite.
With a soft shout, he took a big stride forward and attacked He Yiming's chest with both palms.
He Yiming sat there motionlessly, allowing Huo Leqing's palms to hit his chest, but he still did not react.
Huo Hongsheng and Huo Dongcheng exclaimed at the same time. In their hearts, no matter how strong He Yiming was, he would not be able to take Huo Leqing's full blow with his chest.
Under this attack, even if Mr. He did not die, he would not be safe.
However, what made them flabbergasted was that after Huo Leqing's palms hit He Yiming's chest, his face quickly changed several times. It turned from red to white, then from white to green, then from green to purple, from purple to black, and finally back to its original red color.
This strange face-changing technique only lasted for two short breaths. After that, Huo Leqing let go of his palms on He Yiming's chest.
In front of He Yiming's chest, everything was intact. Even his clothes did not have any traces left. It was as if the scene just now had not happened at all.
He Yiming still had a smile on his face as he said, "Brother Huo, thank you for showing mercy."
Huo Leqing's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Brother He … Mr. He, you must be joking. How could my insignificant skills be worthy of your attention?"
At this moment, his attitude had undergone a 180-degree change. His face was filled with smiles, and his body had also faintly lowered a little.
More importantly, he actually changed the way he addressed He Yiming. He did not even dare to call He Yiming 'brother' anymore. Instead, he called him Mr. He.
He Yiming nodded with a smile and did not refute the way he addressed him. He said, "I will be traveling in the East Sea for a while, and then I will come back to take Dongcheng away. Does Brother Huo have anything else to say?"
Huo Leqing hurriedly said, "It is Dongcheng's fortune to have caught Mr. He's eye. I feel the same way."
He Yiming nodded in satisfaction. Although Huo Leqing's cultivation was not very high, he had good eyesight and quick reflexes. To be able to maintain the prosperity of a large family in an environment like Penglai Immortal Island, there was indeed no luck to speak of.
"I'm tired. I want to rest." He Yiming said indifferently, "Dongcheng, stay. Although my close friend is not here, I can teach you the basics of martial arts."
Huo Dongcheng was overjoyed. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.
Huo Leqing's eyes also flashed with joy. He said, "Dongcheng, you will stay here to serve Mr. He from now on." He paused for a moment, then said, "It is your fortune to have caught Mr. He's eye. You must not disappoint him."
Huo Dongcheng responded with a heavy voice. He made up his mind to not let this opportunity slip away! If you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author. Support the original reading!
