Ye Chen said with a look of exasperation, “Lin’er, what in the world do you think about all day long in that little head of yours?”

“Can’t you wish your brother well for once?”

At Ye Chen’s words, Ye Lin’s small face showed a wronged expression as she said, “Brother, how could I not wish you well? I’m just worried about you!”

“Besides, your complexion is so poor; you don’t look like you’re fine at all…”

Hearing this, Ye Chen explained helplessly, “Lin’er, your brother truly is fine!”

“As for why my face is pale, it’s entirely due to the high-intensity Cultivation just now, which led to physical exhaustion…”

Facing Ye Chen’s explanation, Ye Lin nodded, half understanding, and whispered, “Since Brother is fine, then I won’t disturb you!”

“Oh, right, Brother, I roasted some snake meat. Your face is so pale, why don’t you eat something before you Cultivate again!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen, who had initially wanted to refuse, noticed that he couldn't exert any strength in his arms. He could only nod in agreement, thinking that he would eat something and take the opportunity to let his arms recover.

Otherwise, if he continued to Cultivate, his arms might be completely crippled.

As the saying goes, everything requires a cycle of progression.

When it’s time to rest, one must rest.

Otherwise, blindly Cultivating and ruining one’s body is a minor issue; what if he suffers Qi Deviation? Wouldn’t that be more trouble than it’s worth?

Moreover, Ye Chen still had Ye Lin to take care of.

If anything were to happen to Ye Chen, what would Ye Lin do?

Seeing Ye Chen agree, Ye Lin wiped the tears from her face with her small hand and, with a heart full of joy, helped Ye Chen up.

It was as if she were treating an injured person.

Seeing this, Ye Chen said with a wry smile, “Lin’er, your brother isn’t eighty yet. Walking is still no problem…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin said unhappily, “Brother, you’re already like this, why are you still acting tough? Come, I’ll help you over…”

Looking at Ye Lin’s stubborn expression, Ye Chen gave a wry smile and allowed Ye Lin to help him up from the ground, walking towards the bonfire not far away.

Along the way, Ye Chen looked at Ye Lin, who was supporting him, and couldn't help but tease, “Lin’er has grown up; she’s no longer the little girl who only used to cry.”

Ye Lin rolled her eyes and said, “Brother, I’m 16 years old! I’m not a child anymore, okay?!”

Ye Chen said with a speechless expression, “You’re getting carried away, aren’t you? What’s wrong with being 16?

“In front of your brother, you’ll always be a child…”

Hearing this, Ye Lin playfully stuck out her tongue, then helped Ye Chen sit down by the bonfire, picked up the roasted snake meat she had just put aside, blew off the dust, and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, “Brother, come, try my cooking!”

Ye Chen took the snake meat, tasted a bite, gave a thumbs-up, and said, “Not bad, it’s quite delicious!”

Saying that, Ye Chen tore off more than half of the meat in his hand and handed it to Ye Lin, saying, “Here, Lin’er, you eat too!”

Ye Lin shook her head, pointed to a spot not far away, and said, “Brother, you eat first. There’s more over there!”

“I’ll go roast some more…”

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Chen to reply, Ye Lin got up and ran to a nearby spot, skewered the unroasted snake meat onto a branch, and returned to the bonfire to roast it.

After finishing the snake meat, Ye Chen got up and stretched his legs and feet, feeling full of strength. He then greeted Ye Lin and walked to where Heavy Sword No Edge had fallen, grabbed Heavy Sword No Edge, and began Cultivating the Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill, Heaven Splitting Style.

With the previous experience of swinging his sword repeatedly, this time when Ye Chen Cultivated Heaven Splitting Style again, it was considerably easier.

After all, each time he had previously swung Heavy Sword No Edge down, Ye Chen would be pulled off balance by the inertia of Heavy Sword No Edge.

This time, having mastered the law of inertia of Heavy Sword No Edge, Ye Chen could be said to have no significant problems in Cultivating Heaven Splitting Style.

Inside the stone chamber.

Ye Chen found a secluded spot, holding Heavy Sword No Edge. Suddenly, his whole body shook, and a terrifying power emanated from within Ye Chen.

The next second.

Ye Chen was seen holding Heavy Sword No Edge, striking out with one sword. Before it even landed, he raised his hand for another sword. Then, he pushed off the ground with both feet, soaring into the air, spinning three hundred and sixty degrees, and finally fiercely raising Heavy Sword No Edge, pouring all the True Qi within his body into it, and shouted in a deep voice, “Profound Rank Martial Skill: First Move, Heaven Splitting Style…”

“Boom…”

As a loud bang echoed, the stone chamber wall in front of Ye Chen was directly left with a deep pit several meters deep.

At the same time.

Terrifying Sword Qi swept through the entire stone chamber, causing countless broken stones to be shaken down from the walls.

“Goodness…”

“As expected of a Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill, Heaven Splitting Style!”

“The power is truly terrifying…”

Looking at the result of his single sword strike on the stone chamber wall, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he instantly flashed, appeared in front of Ye Lin, grabbed Ye Lin, and ran out of the stone chamber.

Outside the stone chamber.

Ye Lin looked at the continuously falling gravel inside the stone chamber, still somewhat shaken, and turned to Ye Chen, asking with immense shock, “Brother, this… this wasn’t caused by you, was it?”

Facing Ye Lin’s question, Ye Chen thought Ye Lin was blaming him for destroying her roasted meat. He immediately nodded awkwardly and said, “Lin’er, I’m sorry. Your brother just learned a Martial Skill, and for a moment, I didn't control the force well, which is why it turned out like this!”

“Did I scare you, Lin’er?”

Ye Lin shook her head, her small face excited, “Brother, you can learn such a powerful Move. Lin’er is too happy for you; how could I be scared?!”

“It’s just a pity about my freshly roasted snake meat; I didn’t even get a bite before it was destroyed by those broken stones…”

Ye Chen chuckled, “Lin’er, it’s just a bit of snake meat. When your brother takes you out in a few days, we can eat whatever we want…”

Saying that, Ye Chen glanced at the gradually calming stone chamber, stepped inside, and after confirming there was no danger, he called Ye Lin in and said, “Lin’er, you go rest for a bit. Your brother will go out and get some branches and snake meat for you!”

Ye Lin nodded, then walked into the stone chamber, went to an undamaged area, and began to tidy up.

Not long after.

Ye Chen was seen walking in, carrying Heavy Sword No Edge on his back, a bundle of branches in his left arm, and a large lump of snake meat in his right arm. He came to Ye Lin, lit the branches, and said, “Lin’er, if you’re hungry, roast some snake meat first. Your brother is going over there to Cultivate.”

“Mm!” Ye Lin nodded, grabbed a branch, skewered the snake meat, and placed it over the fire to roast.

Seeing this, Ye Chen walked to the place where he had just Cultivated Heaven Splitting Style, looked up at the several-meter-deep crack on the wall, and thought to himself, “As expected of a Profound Rank High Grade Martial Skill; I just learned it, and it already has such power…”

“If I were to fully master Heaven Splitting Style, wouldn’t its power be even more terrifying than it is now?”
