Not long after, Ouyang Zhong left the Cultivation Hall together with the middle-aged man.

Immediately, an elderly man with white hair appeared in front of Ye Chen.

This elder's face was covered with numerous wrinkles, resembling an orange peel, and he was likely over ninety years old.

He was, surprisingly, Elder Ouyang Lu, who defended the Cultivation Hall and was also Ouyang Zhong's uncle.

People of his generation had mostly passed away.

After all, if one could not become an Immortal, no matter how strong one's power was, it would be difficult for the lifespan to exceed a hundred years.

Even for a Qi Dao Grandmaster at the peak of the Celestial Spirit Realm, it was the same.

"Ye Chen, I am Elder Ouyang Lu of the Cultivation Hall. Which Martial Arts Techniques would you like to cultivate? You can choose and let me know." The white-haired elder said with a slight smile to Ye Chen.

"Alright!" Ye Chen nodded, then walked to the front of a bookshelf and began flipping through a Martial Arts Technique on it.

This Martial Arts Technique was called "Fire Ape Fist," and it was created by mimicking a terrifying Demon Beast, the Fire Ape.

For Ye Chen, a cultivator with an extremely strong physical body, the help from Fist Techniques often far exceeded that of Swordsmanship.

For example, if he wanted to stack the power of "Thunderstorm Swordsmanship" onto his physical strength, he would first have to condense the Thunder Sword Aura, holding it as a weapon in his hand.

But if he were cultivating Fist Techniques, it would not be so troublesome.

When he displayed Fist Techniques, he could directly stack his physical strength onto his fists, using them much more flexibly than Swordsmanship.

"This 'Fire Ape Fist' is quite suitable for me, and it can perfectly complement my physical body. I'll choose it." Ye Chen thought to himself.

In the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Ye Chen briefly reviewed the fifteen Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts in the Cultivation Hall.

He found that most of these fifteen Martial Arts were Fist, Leg, and Palm Techniques.

As for Swordsmanship and Saber Techniques, which required weapons, there were only two.

But this was quite normal.

It's known that the War King Hall, before its decline, admired the cultivation of the physical body immensely.

And Fist, Leg, and Finger Techniques could perfectly complement the physical body, bringing out its true power.

So, most of the Martial Arts Techniques collected by the War King Hall were of this type.

If someone really wished to cultivate Swordsmanship, they could join the Profound Sword Peak directly instead of coming to the War King Hall for no reason.

"Elder Lu, I've made my choice." A moment later, Ye Chen told Ouyang Lu the four Martial Arts Techniques he had selected.

"'Fire Ape Fist,' 'Profound Serpent Body Technique,' 'Vajra Demon-Extinguishing Finger,' and 'Celestial Wind Leg Technique,' these four Martial Arts Techniques are quite suitable for you." Ouyang Lu said kindly.

The four Martial Arts Techniques chosen by Ye Chen could essentially all complement his physical body.

If Ye Chen could cultivate them to the Transformation Realm, the effect would likely surpass that of the "Storm Swordsmanship."

After all, "Storm Swordsmanship" was more suitable for long-range attacks and not close combat.

And Ye Chen's physical body could only exert its strongest power during close combat.

Thus, Fist and Leg Techniques were more suitable for Ye Chen.

"I'm actually quite interested in Sword Dao, but for now, Swordsmanship isn't as useful as Fist Techniques. I'll practice Swordsmanship if there's a chance in the future." Ye Chen thought to himself.

During his time living with the Ye Family, he nearly mastered all their Martial Arts.

And many of the Ye Family's Martial Arts are Swordsmanship.

So, unknowingly, Ye Chen developed a strong interest in Sword Dao.

After passing through this crisis, he certainly wouldn't give up his pursuit of Swordsmanship.

"Ye Chen, here are the four Martial Arts Techniques you requested, but they're just copies. Remember to return them after mastering them, and never teach these Arts to anyone else. Otherwise, not even Ouyang Zhong can protect you." Ouyang Lu said as he handed the four Martial Arts classics to Ye Chen, warning him.

"I will certainly remember that, Elder Lu. I will take my leave now." After saluting Ouyang Lu, Ye Chen hurriedly left the Cultivation Hall.

He couldn't wait to master these four Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts completely.

If he could cultivate these four Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm, not only could his physical body exert greater strength, but his Supreme Human Emperor Body could also condense more Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns.

According to the Tower Spirit, as long as he could cultivate two Yellow Level Top Grade Martial Arts to the Transformation Realm, he could add a Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern.

If he mastered four, two Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns could be added.

And when a Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern is activated, it could unleash the power of a juvenile dragon elephant, equivalent to the Power of a Thousand Tigers.

By that time, his Supreme Human Emperor Body could unleash the Power of Three Thousand Tigers.

It's essential to realize that those who have just entered the Half-Step Celestial Spirit Realm typically have Gang Qi power equivalent to about a thousand tigers.

The Power of Three Thousand Tigers could readily crush existences of that level.

Unless the opponent possesses three times the Qi Sea Foundation, they simply cannot contend with Ye Chen's physical strength.

"Master, if you want to gather more Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns, besides cultivating the Martial Arts Technique to the Transformation Realm, you'll also need the energy from Spirit Stones. Otherwise, you won't make any progress. You'd better collect enough Spirit Stones first," the Tower Spirit couldn't help but say to Ye Chen on the way to his residence.

Now, Ye Chen had already become a Seed Student of the War King Hall, so his residence had changed, and he had a peak of his own.

This peak was opposite the main peak of the War King Hall, towering thousands of feet high, with an incredibly beautiful environment.

"As for Spirit Stones, I can go and ask Teacher Ouyang. She will definitely give them to me," Ye Chen said with a slight smile.

"That's good. One Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern requires five hundred thousand ordinary Spirit Stones to be gathered, but with the financial power of the War King Hall, they should be able to give them to you," said the Tower Spirit.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen arrived at his new residence.

This was a magnificent palace, built on the mountaintop, surrounded by lush trees, jade grass paving the ground, and extremely dense Spiritual Qi, akin to a paradise on earth.

The only downside was that it was really too high up. Ye Chen would need at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea just to descend the mountain.

Unless his cultivation could break through to the Celestial Spirit Realm, becoming a Qi Dao Grandmaster.

By then, he would be able to fly through the air, making it easy to ascend such a towering mountain.

"Huh? There's someone in the palace." At that moment, Ye Chen's body suddenly tensed, his expression becoming vigilant.

He discovered that there were shadows moving around his residence.

Could it be an assassin sent by the Duanmu Family?

After all, after Ye Chen killed Duanmu Jie, he thoroughly offended Duanmu Ying.

She must constantly want to eliminate him.

"Ye Chen, you're finally back, come in, I've brought your adoptive father and mother back." As Ye Chen remained vigilant, a girl's voice suddenly came from the palace.

Her tone was somewhat indifferent, yet as melodious as silver bells, making one feel irresistibly enchanted.

"Adoptive Father, Adoptive Mother." Ye Chen's expression turned to joy, and in a flash, he rushed into the palace.

"Ye Chen!" In the palace, Ye Ming and Xiao Hui's expressions also turned to extreme joy, and they rushed forward to embrace Ye Chen.

The family of three was finally able to reunite.

"Adoptive Father, how are your injuries? It's my fault for being useless and letting you suffer." Ye Chen quickly used Divine Soul Power to examine Ye Ming's collarbone, his eyes full of anger and guilt.

If it weren't for his weak strength, his adoptive father wouldn't have had his collarbone pierced by the Duanmu Family's Golden Dragon Guards.

It truly made Ye Chen feel heartbroken.

"I'm fine now, thanks to this elder's timely rescue. Otherwise, we would have been tortured to death by that old villain Duanmu Lang," Ye Ming said gratefully to the mysterious elder wearing the Bronze Mask.

This mysterious elder not only broke into the Duanmu Family's Celestial Prison to rescue them but also healed his injuries over the past month.

To him, this was an immense kindness and grace that he would never forget.

However, what he couldn't understand was why this mysterious elder would rescue him.

He didn't know this mysterious elder at all.

Who exactly is this person?

"Senior, Miss, you saved my adoptive father and mother, which is a kindness to me, Ye Chen. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, just let me know, and I will do whatever it takes," Ye Chen said, bowing to the mysterious elder and the black-clothed girl beside him.

He, Ye Chen, was someone who repaid kindness.

Since the mysterious elder saved his adoptive father and mother, he naturally had to repay the favor.

This was one of his principles in life.

He despised people like Ye Lin'Er who repay kindness with enmity the most.

"No need, with your little ability, how could you possibly help us? You can't even protect your own adoptive father and mother, so don't make such bold claims." The black-clothed girl suddenly sneered, her voice full of mockery.

It was as if, in her eyes, Ye Chen was nothing more than a jumping clown.

"Miss, my strength is indeed weak now, but it doesn't mean I'll always be weak. I believe there will come a day when you will need my help," Ye Chen replied firmly, unfazed by the black-clothed girl's mockery.

After all, his current strength was indeed very weak, and it was understandable that he did not meet the expectations of the black-clothed girl.

However, having inherited the legacy of the Supreme Human Emperor, give him a few more years and he would surely rise rapidly.

By then, perhaps he could indeed be of help to the black-clothed girl.

"Forget it! We don't need your help, just stay in the Celestial Flame Dynasty and cultivate diligently. Sometimes, being an ordinary person can be a kind of happiness," the black-clothed girl said indifferently, not holding out any hope for Ye Chen.

To know, the force that destroyed her lady's family was incredibly terrifying, even in the entire Southern Heaven Domain.

And this useless son-in-law of theirs, who couldn't even awaken his bloodline, would definitely never be able to help her lady, no matter how hard he tried in this lifetime.

If he could avoid disgracing her lady, that would already be quite good.
