Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"That seems to make sense."
Gangkui nodded.
Inside the tent, Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing overheard Gang Kui and Gang Lan's whispered conversation.
It wasn't that they were eavesdropping; the key was that the two little ones were squatting outside the tent talking, and Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing couldn't help but hear them even if they wanted to.
"Looks like they've found out." Jiang Lingxuan said with a snicker.
"Shall we let them in?" Sun Muqing asked.
Night Wind then called out, "Gang Kui, Gang Lan, you two come in."
Gangkui and Ganglan were immediately startled.
They had initially thought they hadn't been discovered, but now they realized they were wrong.
Gangkui and Ganglan hesitated for a moment before getting up from the ground and then obediently entered Nightwind's tent.
Night Wind calmly looked at Gang Kui and Gang Lan and said, "Since you've discovered me, I won't hide anything anymore... I am indeed a martial artist."
"What level of martial artist are you?" Ganglan asked curiously.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that I'm much better than your cousin," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"I knew it!" Gang Lan clapped his hands and said.
Gang Kui looked at Ye Feng excitedly and said, "Feng, you were the one who killed that big guy last night, right? You're really amazing! Feng, can you teach me?"
The night breeze gently shook its head.
Gangkui's face immediately showed deep disappointment.
Gang Lan said, "If you don't teach us, we'll go find my cousin and tell him you're a martial artist, and a very, very powerful one at that!"
Ganglan didn't actually know why Yefeng was hiding his strength.
But she felt that since Ye Feng was hiding his strength, he must not want anyone to know, so she could use that to threaten him.
"You little brat, how dare you threaten me? Aren't you afraid I'll make sure neither of you gets out of this tent?" Ye Feng said sternly.
Ganglan chuckled: "You're not that kind of person. I know you definitely won't do anything to us."
Gang Kui also realized what was happening and said, "That's right, Feng, you're a good person, you definitely wouldn't hurt us!"
Jiang Lingxuan burst into laughter, and Sun Muqing couldn't help but chuckle as well.
Night Wind laughed and scolded, "I saved your lives, and now you're threatening me. You're all ingrates... Fine, I might as well teach you a lesson. Come here now, I'll check your aptitude first."
Gangkui and Ganglan immediately ran towards Yefeng and stood obediently in front of him.
Night Wind first touched Gang Kui's body a few times, and then examined Gang Lan's body.
After examining them, Ye Feng was surprised to find that Gang Kui and Gang Lan both had good talent and were very suitable for cultivation.
However, there is much to consider regarding which cultivation method to choose and how to cultivate it.
Ye Feng thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "Your talents are quite good. I'll give you two choices now."
"My first option is for me to help you cultivate. In this way, you can become martial artists in a very, very short time. As for your strength... you will definitely be considered a top expert in your tribe, but it will not be good for your future."
"The second option is for me to give you the cultivation method, and you can practice it yourselves. Although this method will take a long time to see results, it will be very beneficial to your future."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Gang Kui and Gang Lan immediately turned around and whispered to each other.
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing looked at Ye Feng curiously and asked, "What do you mean by the first method you mentioned?"
"I have a very special cultivation technique here, a quick-learning type that greatly increases strength, but it has huge side effects. These side effects are actually the depletion of future potential and the sacrifice of talent," Ye Feng explained.
"Sacrifice talent?"
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were even more puzzled.
Ye Feng nodded and said, "That's right. This technique is called the Meridian Opening and Tendon Expanding Spiritual Body Technique. If I were to use it, I could make them Qi Movement Realm martial artists in just a few days. However, they would probably only be able to cultivate to the Separation and Union Realm in their entire lives."
"What if we cultivate using normal techniques?" Sun Muqing pressed.
"With their talent, the possibility of them reaching the True Essence Realm through normal cultivation methods is very high, and the Divine Travel Realm is not impossible," Ye Feng replied.
With normal cultivation, one can reach the Divine Travel Realm.
However, it will take a long time.
By taking shortcuts, one can quickly become a martial artist at the Qi Movement Realm, surpassing even Gonchar in strength!
But at most, one can only reach the Separation and Union Realm in this lifetime of cultivation.
In the long run, this shortcut approach does more harm than good.
However, there are too few warriors in the Black Tower tribe now, and even fewer who can be called masters.
Young clan leader Gangchar is only at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.
The clan leader, Gangdu Ning, was only at the peak of the Opening Wheel Realm.
If Gangkui and Ganglan cultivate by taking shortcuts, then soon the Black Tower tribe will have two martial artists at the Qi Movement Realm!
From this perspective, Gangkui and Ganglan's choice to take the shortcut was more in the tribe's interest!
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing looked at Gang Kui and Gang Lan together, already guessing what choice Gang Kui and Gang Lan would make.
Sure enough, after discussing for a while, Gangkui and Ganglan turned around and looked at Yefeng.
"I choose the first option!"
"I choose the first option too!"
Gangque and Ganglan shouted together.
The first option Ye Feng mentioned was to take a shortcut, and Gang Kui and Gang Lan indeed chose that.
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were not surprised, but they felt sorry for Gang Kui and Gang Lan.
However, since it was Gangkui and Ganglan's own choice, the two of them didn't say anything more.
After all, they should respect Gangque and Ganglan's choices.
"Have you thought this through? Once we start, there's no going back," Ye Feng said earnestly.
"We won't regret it."
"That's right!"
Gangque and Ganglan said in unison.
"In that case, you two come to see me tonight... Oh, and remember not to eat dinner, only drink water," Night Wind reminded him.
"Yes, Master!"
Gangkui and Ganglan nodded emphatically.
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Don't call me master. I'm not your master. I teach you techniques and help you cultivate, but that doesn't mean I'm taking you as my disciples."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Gang Kui and Gang Lan were somewhat disappointed.
However, since Ye Feng had already said that, the two of them didn't say anything more.
Just then, Gonchar shouted from outside: "Gonchar, Gonchar, where have you two rascals been? The stew is ready, are you going to eat or not!"
Gangque and Ganglan immediately ran outside.
Gangkui and Ganglan did not just focus on satisfying their own appetites. Soon they returned carrying a large wooden bucket filled with stewed, tender chunks of meat.
