Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 4

In the Zhou Family Village, the population was not large, but they owned thousands of acres of fertile land. The village also had hundreds of farming households, and within a radius of one hundred miles, it was considered one of the top households. The family also had businesses in the county town, adding to their prominence.

Among the third-generation disciples, each person had their own courtyard, albeit not very large. Nevertheless, they were considered separate and distinct households.

Upon returning to his own courtyard, Zhou Yi hadn't even pushed open the door when he saw his third brother, Zhou Yixuan, standing before him with a mischievous smile.

"Third brother, why are you here?" Zhou Yi asked with a mix of surprise and joy. "Didn't father ask you to seclude yourself for cultivation?"

Zhou Yixuan waved his hand dismissively. "Being in seclusion all the time is too suffocating. That's why I came out for a stroll." He pushed open Zhou Yi's door and entered first.

The room was modest yet practical. Zhou Yixuan directly placed a transcribed book on the table.

Zhou Yi took a closer look, and his expression slightly changed. "Third brother, this is the manual for Ripple Palm."

"This is the internal energy manual that I specialize in," Zhou Yixuan calmly said. "I broke through to the sixth level with this technique. I heard you were considering switching to another cultivation method, so why not give this one a try?"

Zhou Yi's heart raced, realizing that his third brother hadn't secluded himself out of frustration but had come specifically for him.

Without further pleasantries, Zhou Yixuan opened the book and began explaining it in detail. Furthermore, at the back of the manual, there were his personal notes on cultivation, ranging from the first to the sixth level. The section about breaking through to the fifth level was particularly densely recorded.

It wasn't until evening that Zhou Yixuan bid farewell and left. Even the dinner and supper were taken care of simply within the courtyard.

After Zhou Yixuan left, Zhou Yi held the manual in his hands and looked at the tiny words on it. His heart surged with emotions, realizing that the relationship between biological brothers was truly incomparable.

He took a deep breath and made up his mind. He couldn't afford to disappoint his father and third brother. He had to overcome this damn fifth level, no matter what.

Entering the secret room, Zhou Yi closed the door behind him and sealed it gently from the inside. Opening the manual for Ripple Palm, he carefully scrutinized every word and sentence.

This Ripple Palm was a water-based cultivation technique for internal energy, equivalent in level to his Mixed Yuan Power. However, everyone's constitution was different, so the effects varied during cultivation.

Since he had decided to switch to a new cultivation manual, instead of randomly choosing one and starting from scratch, why not practice his third brother's manual? After all, his third brother had dedicated over ten years of effort to this manual. That much was evident from the insights and experiences recorded, which were several times more detailed than the content of the manual itself.

Standing on the shoulders of giants often allowed one to see farther. Since he had this opportunity, Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't give up easily.

He memorized the techniques of the first level and studied his third brother's insights and experiences. Though he couldn't claim full comprehension, he had a basic understanding.

Ripple Palm was different from Mixed Yuan Power. One was a water-based internal energy, while the other was metal-based. Although they were similar in terms of the level of the technique, the routes of internal energy circulation within the body were significantly different.
