Chapter 56: Ascension to Great Martial Warrior

TL: Etude

After Ye Tian departed, Old Man Li headed towards the Sun family residence. Subsequently, harrowing screams emanated from the Sun family's abode. The next day, a piece of news shocked the entire Linhai Base—

The Sun family had been annihilated!

The person responsible for their downfall was Ye Tian, the very same who had bested Sun Feng in a duel.

The shock stemmed from the fact that everyone had only considered Ye Tian as an extraordinarily powerful Elite Martial Warrior, someone who could at most hold his own against weaker Great Martial Warriors.

Who could have anticipated that Ye Tian was such a freak of nature, single-handedly destroying the entire Sun family?

But even more explosive was the news that one of the two Grandmasters, Grandmaster Yao Ye, had died.

This was even more shocking than the annihilation of the Sun family!

After all, a Grandmaster was exponentially more powerful than a Great Martial Warrior.

Linhai Base didn't have a single Grandmaster, and the newly joined Tieya Base had only two. Now that one had been killed, the remaining Grandmaster had gone so far as to proactively kill the remaining members of the Sun family as a gesture of goodwill.

What did this indicate?

Ye Tian was now invincible in Linhai Base, and no one could challenge him.

Upon receiving this news, many who knew Ye Tian were flabbergasted.

The Wind Wolf Hunting Squad.

When Wind Wolf heard the news, he was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Ye Tian actually annihilated the Sun family and even killed a Grandmaster!"

Wind Wolf wasn't fully aware of how strong a Grandmaster was, but he did know the Sun family's capabilities. The family had a full ten Great Martial Warriors, two of whom were peak-level. Most of the Sun family warriors could crush opponents of their level due to their talent in blade skills—even those stronger than themselves.

Initially, knowing Sun Feng's background, he had genuinely worried for Ye Tian for a long time.

Who could have thought that in just a few months, Ye Tian had destroyed the Sun family and even killed a Grandmaster?

"Brother Ye Tian is becoming more and more powerful. I don't even have the qualifications to look up to him anymore!" Wind Wolf exclaimed emotionally.

However, he felt honored to even know Ye Tian. If he talked about this connection, it would be enough to make others green with envy.

The Lin Family.

Lin Wanli held the intelligence report in his hand and was speechless for a long while.

He was, indeed, stunned.

"The Sun family has been annihilated, Grandmaster Yao Ye has been killed. Ye Tian's power has reached such an extent. I suspect his talent is not high-level cultivation talent, but rather top-level. He has reached the level of a Grandmaster in both strength and speed; he likely possesses talents in both!" Lin Wanli speculated.

Unlike others, he was actually pleased to see Ye Tian's rise because Ye Tian was on the side of Linhai Base.

With Ye Tian's presence, Linhai Base could easily crush Tieya Base.

"I'll visit Grandmaster Ye Tian tomorrow!" Lin Wanli decided.

It wasn't a matter of currying favor; given the Lin family's status, they were in no position to ingratiate themselves with Ye Tian. But since Ye Tian was now the strongest in Linhai Base, it would be inappropriate for the Lin family not to pay a visit.

If they could establish even a modest relationship, it would be greatly advantageous for the Lin family.

The Lin family wasn't the only one with this thought; many other families wanted to build a relationship with Ye Tian.

And so, on that day—

Numerous heads of families and elders had come to Ye Tian's residence, each bringing a generous gift, specifically to pay him a visit. Yet, Ye Tian had but one response for all of them—complete refusal! Moreover, Ye Tian disseminated a single statement: he simply wanted to cultivate in peace and quiet, and no one should disturb his training.

For many of the prominent families, this was good news. At the very least, Ye Tian had no ambition for hegemony and thus posed no threat to their interests. The Sun family was undoubtedly an exception. Had they not provoked Ye Tian, they wouldn't have suffered such a fate.

Subsequently, all the families issued orders that no one was to provoke Ye Tian or Ye Yu. For a time, Ye Yu became the most untouchable person in her school. With no one daring to disturb him, Ye Tian naturally had ample time to cultivate.

His villa was promptly repaired by the developers of the central garden, and at no charge, because Ye Tian's residence brought them enormous benefits. To put it plainly, the value of the villas in the area had multiplied several times, bringing in untold profits. The developers naturally wouldn't skimp on such trivial repair costs.

Days rolled by.

Almost a month had passed since the Sun family's demise, and Ye Tian had finally honed the cultivation of his skin, flesh, bones, and blood to the extreme. His foundation had become incredibly solid. "It's time to refine my internal organs," Ye Tian decided.

Elite Martial Warriors refined their blood, while Great Martial Warriors refined their internal organs to be as resilient as steel, impervious to damage. Once the internal organs were fully refined, even ingesting poison wouldn't harm them. Though Elite Martial Warriors had stronger organs than the average person, they still couldn't safely ingest poison.

Once he started refining his internal organs, Ye Tian would break through his bottleneck and automatically advance to the realm of a Great Martial Warrior, with his power gradually climbing.

"Let's begin," Ye Tian murmured, following the intermediate yuan force body training method and swallowing a dose of high-grade beast blood.

Under Ye Tian's control, the energy generated from the refinement seeped into his internal organs, gradually refining them. Boom! The invisible shackles were utterly shattered, and his physical strength soared rapidly.

Ye Tian was well aware that he had ascended to the realm of a Great Martial Warrior. Breaking through from an Elite Martial Warrior to a Great Martial Warrior was a significant advancement, not only enhancing his mental strength but also substantially improving his physical power, speed, and defense.

Initially, Ye Tian's mental range could only cover a few tens of meters, but now it was rapidly expanding. "My mental range has covered 200 meters, whereas a typical early stage Great Martial Warrior only covers 20 meters. My mental power is on par with a peak-level Great Martial Warrior, but still far from a Grandmaster," Ye Tian estimated.

He then tested his speed—20 times the speed of sound, far faster than before. As for his strength, it had not increased by much, only reaching 120,000 jin of force. After all, he had just broken through and would gradually improve with cultivation. His defense, too, had improved several times, but it was still relatively weak. This was a vulnerability he couldn't rectify until he acquired a defense talent.

"The high-grade beast blood is almost gone; it's time for another trip to the Xiao Qianye Forest," Ye Tian muttered to himself.
