Tianwu Kingdom, Cloud City, Yun Clan, Back Mountain.
A sixteen year old youth continuously brandished his longsword. Sweat soaked his clothes. His body spun as beads of sweat flew out. Under the sunlight, it looked like crystal beads falling to the ground.
Ten years, a full ten years. He practiced every day. Apart from sleeping and eating, all of his time was given to the sword.
His swordsmanship kept improving, but he could not cultivate a trace of qi.
"I don't believe that I can't cultivate it. I don't believe that I will be a cripple forever!"
After stopping for three breaths, he practiced again.
The wind blew, and the leaves flew!
The longsword seemed to have eyes as it pierced through the leaves. By the time a leaf fell to the ground, the longsword was already full of leaves.
"Good, this is great, Big Brother Yun Fan!" A beautiful girl ran over excitedly.
The youth waved his longsword, and the leaves on the sword flew out, dancing in the air. He reached out to hold the girl's hand, and his sweaty face revealed a bright smile.
"Yujiao, you are here! Quickly sit! "
Yun Fan used his sleeves to wipe the stone beside him and let Yujiao sit.
"Big Brother Yun Fan, aren't you working too hard? Don't you get tired of practicing every day? "
Yun Fan shook his head, and the sweat on his forehead fell off. He smiled and said, "I have to practice. Sooner or later, I will become the Yun Clan Head. How can I do it without strength? Furthermore, there has been no news of my father all these years. If I can't even keep the position he gave me, how can I have the face to look for him? "
"But you can't cultivate qi, right? Without qi, what use is there even if your swordsmanship is good? "
Yun Fan was the son of the previous Yun Clan Head, Yun Xiao. As the son of the Clan Head, he had a good cultivation environment and resources.
All of this should have destined him to be a proud son of heaven. But sadly, he could not cultivate qi.
Qi was the foundation of everything. No matter how strong a martial technique was, it still needed qi to activate. Without qi, even the best martial technique was just for show. He was destined to be a cripple in the eyes of others.
If his father was by his side, he could give him some pointers, but Yun Xiao had left the family for ten years and there was no news of him.
For the past ten years, he had been cultivating non-stop because he wanted to cultivate True Qi and inherit the position of Patriarch. After that, he wanted to find out more about his father.
"Don't worry, I will succeed sooner or later. By the way, don't tell me you want me to teach you swordsmanship again? "
"Of course. In the Yun Family, besides Big Brother Yun Fan, who else is better than me in swordsmanship?" Yun Yujiao stood up and unsheathed her sword. Her tender smile was filled with arrogance.
Wielding the sword in his hand, Zhang Xuan took a step forward, and the sword glowed brilliantly as it danced in his hand.
His footsteps were light, and his sword was like the wind. His moves were flawless. After demonstrating a set of sword techniques, Yun Yujiao turned to look at Yun Fan.
"Brother Yun Fan, what do you think of my practice of the Fallen Leaves Sword Technique?"
"Very good. They had all reached the Large Success stage. The only thing you lack now is the comprehension of this Martial Technique. It looks like I have nothing else to teach you, "Yun Fan said with a smile.
The cultivation of Martial Techniques was divided into four stages: Entry, Small Success, Large Success, and Full Success. Yun Yujiao had practiced the Fallen Leaves Sword Technique to Large Success stage, and was only one step away from Full Success.
"Hehe, really? But without Big Brother Yun Fan's careful guidance, I would not be able to reach this level. "
"This is not my credit. The Fallen Leaves Sword Technique is a Yellow Class Upper Grade Martial Technique. If it were any other disciple in the family, even if I taught them every day, they would not be able to practice as well as you, "Yun Fan said seriously.
There were many disciples in the Yun Family, but whether it was talent or comprehension, Yun Yujiao was definitely number one.
Yun Yujiao was a collateral disciple of the Yun Family. Collateral disciples had limited cultivation resources, and she was able to achieve this through her own hard work.
For the past two years, Yun Fan had been teaching her sword techniques. He even taught her the Fallen Leaves Sword Technique, which only the Family Head could learn. The two of them were often together, and their relationship had always been good.
"Although this Martial Technique is called the Fallen Leaves Sword Technique, its essence is the comprehension of the wind. If you experience the wind more, you will be able to practice better. "
"Yes, I will. Big Brother Yun Fan, you look quite tired. Why don't you go back and rest? Even if I train hard, I can't damage my body. I still want to practice a bit more …
"Alright, then I won't accompany you!"
Just as Yun Fan left, a middle-aged man walked out from the side.
"Father!" Yun Yujiao said.
This person was Yun Yujiao's father, Yun Hao, the Yun Family's Third Elder, and the only collateral elder.
"Good, it seems that he really taught you all the sword techniques. It's time for the Yun Family Head position to change. "Yun Hao's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
"Father, don't worry. No one in the Yun Family is a match for me now. "Yun Yujiao waved the sword in her hand, her face full of pride.
"Even so, you cannot slack off. For this day, I have planned for so many years. You have also endured by that trash's side for so long, there cannot be any mistakes. In a month, it will be the annual recruitment day for sects to come to Cloud City. You must perform well.
In the past, only third-rate sects came to our Cloud City. This time, even the second-rate sect Absolute Heaven Sect came. Although I have already reported your situation to the Absolute Heaven Sect and they are satisfied, Cloud City does not belong to us alone. But we are not the only family in Yuncheng. We can't let others get ahead of us. "
"No one can think about it. In a month's time, I will be able to break through to Body Tempering Stage Nine. At that time, no one will be a match for me. As long as I enter the Absolute Heaven Sect, the Family Head position will be father's. "Yun Yujiao raised her head even higher.
"Haha … well said!" Yun Hao laughed.
The Yun Family had always been controlled by the direct descendants. As the only collateral elder of the Yun Family, he had been eyeing the Family Head position for more than ten years. How could he not be happy that his dream was about to be realized?
After the two left, a youth slowly walked out from the forest.
The youth was called Yun Yang, a direct descendant of the Yun Family. His talent and comprehension were average, and he was very ordinary among the many disciples.
He had the best relationship with Yun Fan. When he was free, Yun Fan would also teach him some martial arts. In his heart, Yun Fan was his older brother, his biological brother.
"Bastards, I didn't expect them to be so vicious. They actually want to snatch Brother Yun Fan's Family Head position. No, I must tell Brother Yun Fan about this. "
In the Yun Family's great hall, Yun Yu smiled at Yun Fan and said, "Yun Fan, if you have no objections, I plan to settle your marriage with Yun Yujiao in the next few months.
Your father is not here, so I will naturally take care of your matters. See if there is anything else you want me to do for you. You will be the Yun Family Head in the future, so this cannot be a small affair! "
"Great Elder, I will leave this matter to you. I want to cultivate my True Qi as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if I become the Family Head, I will not feel at ease! "
"Brother Yun Fan, this is bad …"
"How dare you! Who let you in? Get out! "Yun Yu's expression darkened.
The family's great hall was usually a place to entertain distinguished guests and discuss important matters. Other than the elders and the Family Head, no one was allowed to enter without prior notice.
The Yun Family was not a large family, but its rules were very strict. If not for this, Yun Fan would not have been able to cultivate his True Qi for ten years and Yun Yu would not have been so nice to him.
"I …" Yun Yang could not help but look at Yun Fan anxiously.
"Great Elder, Yun Yang must have come for something. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so reckless. Let him speak! "Yun Fan said with a smile.
"Speak. If you can't give me a good explanation, I will punish you." Yun Yu nodded his head.
"Great Elder, Brother Yun Fan, this is bad. Not good, the Third Elder wanted to snatch the position of the Family Head. Yun Yujiao had been lying to Brother Yunfan all along. She wanted to learn Brother Yunfan's sword skills so that she could enter the Extreme Heaven Sect when the sect was recruiting disciples. We have all been deceived! "Yun Yang blurted out impatiently.
"Nonsense!" Yun Fan stood up abruptly.
"Yujiao is not the kind of person you say she is. We have always been close. How could she do such a thing?"
"It's true. I heard it with my own ears. It was at the back of the mountain. Brother Yun Fan, if you don't believe me, ask Great Elder. If Yun Yujiao enters the Ultimate Heaven Sect, will Third Elder become the Family Head? "
Before Yun Fan could speak, Yun Yu's expression darkened.
"Yun Fan, it looks like this is true. The family has a rule. If an elder's child can enter a second-rate sect, then he will be the Family Head.
Our Yun Family has always had disciples enter third-rate sects. Not only our Yun Family, but all the other families in Yun City have never had any disciples enter second-rate sects.
This has always been our Yun Family's goal, and this rule has long been in place. However, no one has been able to do it. As time passed, this matter was forgotten by us. I didn't expect Yun Hao to think so far ahead. Everything he has done these years has been for the position of Family Head. "
Even Yun Fan didn't know about this, let alone Yun Yang.
The Yun Family was just an ordinary family in Yun City. It had only grown a little stronger when Yun Xiao was around. After Yun Xiao left, everyone knew that the position of Family Head belonged to Yun Fan, even if Yun Fan couldn't cultivate his true Qi.
Others thought so, and so did Yun Fan. He had been working hard for this.
"No, this is impossible. Succeeding as Family Head and strengthening the family has always been my goal. Yujiao knew this a long time ago. She has always encouraged me. How could she do such a thing? "
Yun Fan didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the girl who had constantly encouraged him was such a person. He shouted and rushed out.
"Yujiao, come out!"
Yun Yujiao and Yun Hao lived in the same courtyard. The courtyard wasn't big, and the walls weren't high.
Yun Fan was very familiar with this place. Just as he stepped into the courtyard, a youth suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Yun Fan, without Sister Yujiao's permission, you can't go in!"
"Yun Hui, what do you mean?"
Yun Hui was the most talented among the Yun Family's direct disciples. He had already broken through to the seventh tier of the Body Tempering realm at the age of fifteen, and was only a step away from the eighth tier.
