Capítulo 1469: Chapter 1469: What a Great Place! (4th Update)
“It’s me, Young Master Ji, long time no see!” Ye Haochuan said with a half-smile.
Although it might be a bit troublesome, he wasn’t afraid of Ji Tianyu.
But what puzzled him was that Ji Tianyu’s face showed surprise and astonishment, yet he didn’t seem angry.
“You’re indeed not simple, to have made it here!” Ji Tianyu smiled slightly and said.
What the hell, is this guy out of his mind? I made him suffer so much, yet he’s still speaking so politely to me?
Ye Haochuan felt strange and laughed, “I just happened to get a few Jade Tokens, naturally no match for a talented young master of the Ji family like you.”
“Talented young master?” Ji Tianyu’s face suddenly revealed a strange smile and said, “Maybe I was once a genius, but as for my current situation, you should be well aware, right?”
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Ji Tianyu’s words were clearly mocking him.
Back then, Ji Tianyu used the Enlightenment Pill to break through to Core Formation, which had already caused him to fall from grace.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, he was still a genius. But compared to the other four great talents, he was now more than a level behind.
“What? Want to fight me again?” Ye Haochuan said with a calm smile.
Ji Tianyu shook his head and said, “I’m not your match! At least, not yet!”
Ye Haochuan was puzzled, as Ji Tianyu, given his previous nature, would never admit defeat so decisively.
“Don’t you hate me?”
“I do, but I also have to thank you!” Ji Tianyu laughed, “If it weren’t for that incident, I might never have realized how weak I truly was.
The five great geniuses, haha, were just some greenhouse flowers that got showered with praise and in a real fight, they’re nothing!”
Ye Haochuan was suddenly stunned; this was a truth he had long understood. But Ji Tianyu was only fourteen or fifteen years old! Having such awareness and insight at that age was simply unbelievable.
“What has he really gone through?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but be curious.
Could just taking his legacy have caused such a change?
Ji Tianyu didn’t know what Ye Haochuan was thinking, and as he stepped past Ye Haochuan, a determined voice came from behind.
“Regardless, you did take my belongings. Next time I see you, I will definitely defeat you!”
Ye Haochuan was again stunned, losing count of how many times he was surprised in this brief meeting with Ji Tianyu.
Today’s Ji Tianyu was no longer the soaring eagle admired by everyone for his elegance. He was now a young tiger in the shadows, quietly accumulating strength, honing his combat skills to become the overlord of the jungle.
Compared to an eagle, a fierce tiger is certainly more intimidating.
“You know Young Master Ji?” Seeing Ji Tianyu walking away, the woman curiously asked.
She had been in this Holy Land for quite some time, and knew about all the prominent young masters from different families. Yet she knew nothing about Ye Haochuan.
If Ye Haochuan were just an ordinary guy struggling to enter the Holy Land, it wouldn’t have been surprising. But Ye Haochuan had not only coughed up four Jade Tokens but also seemed to have a history with Ji Tianyu, indicating he wasn’t some nameless nobody.
“I do know him!” Ye Haochuan smiled and said, “But compared to the last time we met, he seems to have changed a lot.”
The woman sighed and said, “From being viewed as a Supreme Treasure by the family to being expelled over a trifling matter, how could he not have changed at all?”
“Expelled over a trivial matter?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Thanks to the woman’s brief explanation, Ye Haochuan finally understood what had happened.
It turns out that after his legacy was taken and he broke through to Core Formation with the Enlightenment Pill, Ji Tianyu’s status in his family plummeted.
His twin brother even openly claimed that being called the ‘Double Tigers of the Ji Family’ with Ji Tianyu insulted his own talent.
Ji Tianyu, being a proud person, couldn’t endure such humiliation and fought fiercely with Ji Tianye.
However, Ji Tianye had acquired a legacy, and his foundation was significantly stronger. After a few rounds, Ji Tianyu was utterly defeated.
Ji Tianye disdainfully mocked Ji Tianyu a few times before having him kicked out, saying he didn’t want to see this worthless brother again.
Ji Tianyu’s value to the Ji family clearly couldn’t compare to Ji Tianye’s. To appease Ji Tianye’s anger, they relegated Ji Tianyu to a branch of the family in the Imperial Capital.
Though not entirely abandoned, it was akin to being given up on.
The world is inherently realistic, and the bigger the family, the more so.
In their eyes, personal likes or dislikes mean little; everything is about the family’s interests.
From a great young master to being relegated to a branch, that was the journey that changed Ji Tianyu.
“For this youngster, this might not actually be a bad thing!” Ye Haochuan suddenly observed silently.
With Ji Tianyu’s current mindset, Ye Haochuan was nearly certain that Ji Tianyu’s future achievements would definitely not lag behind Ji Tianye’s.
As for his vow to defeat him, Ye Haochuan hadn’t really taken it to heart. Despite Ji Tianyu’s talent and mindset, he still lacked something compared to him.
A Hidden Divine Physique sets a bar that ordinary people can’t reach!
Ji Tianyu’s appearance was merely a small episode. Soon, Ye Haochuan was led by the woman to a big tree.
As he’d expected, the Spiritual Energy concentration here was double that of outside. Even the air had a slight reddish hue.
“What a great place!”
Ye Haochuan looked around and found that within several hundred meters of the tree, there wasn’t a single person in sight.
This meant all this Spiritual Energy in such a large area was for his use alone.
No wonder those guys like Ye Xiao have been making such rapid breakthroughs; with such excellent training grounds, if they couldn’t improve quickly, they’d truly be fools.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
After showing the way, the woman turned to leave but not before telling Ye Haochuan that his four Jade Tokens would only allow him to cultivate here for five days; if he wanted to continue, he would have to renew them.
Upon hearing this, Ye Haochuan sighed. He had worked hard to get a few Jade Tokens from Ye Xiao, only to find they would only allow for ten days of cultivation here.
Compared to these geniuses from big families, I’m practically so poor I can hardly keep my pants on!
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
