From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 51: Man-Made Eighth Grade Peak

Upon hearing that the competition was to verify the effect of improving physical fitness, Ye Dan, who had experienced it personally, immediately realized its importance. He strode to the venue without hesitation, got into a stance, and was ready to go all out at any time.

"Brother, how should I attack?"

Chen Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his black robe fluttering in the wind, and the skull mask gave people an inexplicable sense of horror. As his momentum grew, he just stood there and did nothing, giving other people present an invisible sense of extreme oppression.

Ye Dan, who had previously said that he was not afraid of anything as long as it was his eldest brother's order, now felt a sense of fear as he stood opposite him as an opponent before he even made a move.

He swallowed and asked nervously.

Chen Qiye responded calmly: "Use the method you are best at."

"Remember, even if you can't risk your life, you must try your best to attack."

"yes, Sir."

Ye Dan became more serious after hearing this, and no longer followed any principle of fairness. He asked his brother next to him to throw him his usual weapon, the long sword.

There is no need to think about fairness. Given Big Brother's strength, even if I have ten thousand swords, they may not be enough.

Ye Dan, holding a sharp sword, took the lead in attacking and rushed towards Chen Qiye. After making a sword flower with the sword in his hand, he lowered his body's center of gravity and stabbed Chen Qiye's throat from bottom to top.

However, an accident occurred with his first move.

Too fast... After Chen Qiye improved his physique through acupuncture and medicinal baths, and quickly absorbed a large amount of true energy with his help, his strength had been greatly improved in just a few hours, and was more than twice as strong as before.

This was his first shot after the upgrade, so he had no clear understanding or control of his speed and strength.

With such a full-force attack, the speed was so fast that he had not expected it at all. He completed the usual starting moves in the blink of an eye. When he wanted to withdraw his hands, it was too late. He could only stare with horror as his sword stabbed into Chen Qiye's throat.

Before the other brothers had time to marvel at their brother Dan's terrifying speed, they were frightened by the next scene and turned pale.

"Be careful, bro."

Several people were extremely anxious, but Chen Qiye, who seemed to be facing a life-and-death crisis, was very calm. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Ye Dan's performance.

Then he calmly stretched out two fingers and firmly grasped the sword.

Seeing Ye Dan sweating profusely from fear, he laughed unhappily and said, "Do you really think you can hurt me? Look how scared you are."

Ye Dan's speed has indeed improved greatly compared to before, but it is not enough for him.

"Hoohoo...you scared me to death, brother."

“Uh, hahaha… I just lost my balance of power all of a sudden and was at a loss. For a moment, I forgot that you are a true master. If you just stand there and don’t move, I won’t be your opponent.”

Chen Qiye's fingers that were holding the sword swung lightly, and a huge force instantly enveloped Ye Dan's body, causing him to slide back dozens of steps before he stabilized his body, and his two feet left two deep dents on the ground.

"Keep dithering, come again."

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Ye Dan's forehead, replacing the thin sweat that had not yet dried up from the shock he had just caused. He looked very embarrassed.

At that moment just now, he felt that if his elder brother had really killed him, he would probably be dead by now.

Although he was frightened in his heart, he felt more confident when he attacked. His elder brother was so powerful that he didn't need to worry about anything when he used all his strength.

He raised his sword again, stepped forward, leaped up, and beheaded the man with one blow.

Chen Qiye didn't move at all. He flicked his finger and sent Ye Dan flying with his sword.

He now realized that after his transformation, Ye Dan's speed and strength had indeed been greatly improved, but his skills were still a little lacking.

In other words, his strength has been improved, but his cognition cannot keep up, and his attacks are disorganized and full of flaws. This strength and speed combined with this sword move gives him the feeling of Lu Bu riding a dog. Ye Dan, who was defeated again with ease, saw the disappointment in his elder brother's eyes, and he became anxious.

He gritted his teeth, gathered his courage, and charged forward with all his might once again. Even after being beaten back, he continued to attack without stopping.

In front, on the left, on the right, above his head, and even behind him, Ye Dan changed the direction of attack countless times, but failed to make Chen Qiye move even a little bit. He had to use only two fingers of one hand to deal with his powerful sword throughout the whole process.

They kept attacking and attacking until dusk. Ye Dan looked like he had been fished out of the water, with sweat soaking his hair and clothes.

He knelt on one knee and supported himself with the sword. His limbs kept shaking, causing the iron sword to emit a slight buzzing sound.

The people around couldn't bear it any more.

But Chen Qiye still said: "If you are not dead, get up and continue."

It's not that he likes to torture people, but he is helping Ye Dan master this new power that he suddenly obtained. Only through continuous life-and-death battles can he integrate this power with himself in the shortest time.

Only when he truly possesses this new power will it be more helpful for his future progress. Otherwise, it may take a long time just to digest and adapt to it.

Chen Qiye now needs some subordinates who can hold the scene, whether it is to help with work or to protect his family.

If you want to wade into the muddy waters of Kyoto, you must be fully prepared so that you have no worries.

Ye Dan stood up with difficulty.

"Brother, I...I'm still okay. Let's try again."

After saying that, he was about to pick up the sword and continue, but suddenly the situation changed. Ye Dan, who was already close to the limit of his physical strength, began to heat up rapidly, and his skin turned blood red visibly, the kind of blood red that was like being placed in a steamer and being boiled at high temperature.

"what···"

Even though Ye Dan had a strong character, he let out a scream and fell to the ground, rolling around.

Chen Qiye was not in a hurry. He trained Ye Dan with all his strength not only to help him master the power, but also to see what adverse reactions would occur in the master he created by hand.

He quickly stepped forward and tapped Ye Dan a few times, and the other party finally felt a little more at ease.

He placed his hand on her wrist, looked inside and asked, "Tell me how you felt just now."

“Hu…Hu…” Ye Dan panted and replied with difficulty: “Brother…Brother, just in that moment, I felt as if the pain in my whole body was magnified countless times.”

"The meridians in my body have become extremely sensitive. When the Qi is flowing through the meridians, it feels like thousands of sharp knives are cutting me into pieces."

Based on Ye Dan's description, Chen Qiye quickly found the problem.

Most of the meridians in Ye Dan's body were forced to grow through acupuncture and medicinal baths. They were like new flesh growing after a person was injured, and would be very sensitive for a short period of time.

I had just experienced a nearly exhausting battle, and I didn't feel anything when my body was hot, but after my body slowly cooled down, that intense feeling of stimulation burst out in an instant.

The true Qi stored in the meridians is like broken glass, and every flow in the meridians causes piercing pain.

Knowing the cause, it became much easier to deal with it. After giving Ye Dan pain relief, Chen Qiye selected a few of the remaining medicinal herbs he brought up the mountain and boiled a batch for Ye Dan to use externally and internally, which helped stabilize the changes in his body.

After taking the medicine, Ye Dan stood up and waved his fist.

He looked at his arm with joy and said, "I feel that I am stronger now."

The younger brother beside him asked curiously: "Brother, what level of master is Dan brother now?"

Chen Qiye smiled and said calmly: "Not bad, on the eighth rank. If I practice seriously in the next one or two months, it won't be a problem to reach the peak of the eighth rank."
