After a commotion, a figure emerged from the bushes, none other than Ye Qi.

Early in the morning today, Ye Qi got up to find a suitable place for Ye Yiming's real combat practice.

Although Ye Qi had left, he had already noticed the appearance of the tiger and quickly rushed back when it appeared.

However, when Ye Qi arrived, he did not intervene to help Ye Yiming. He wanted to see how Ye Yiming would face the situation, so he did not step in to deal with the tiger.

In fact, Ye Qi just wanted to see how Ye Yiming would react and handle a sudden strong enemy. However, the result greatly exceeded Ye Qi's expectations. Facing a mid-stage human-level beast, Ye Yiming not only did not turn and run but also fought it head-on.

What surprised Ye Qi the most was that Ye Yiming emerged as the final victor.

A martial artist at the early stage of human level defeating a mid-stage human-level beast?

Even more surprising was that Ye Yiming, who had just entered the stage, was considered a combat rookie. But the opponent?

The opponent was the king of beasts, definitely a tiger with extensive battle experience!

A rookie who had just entered the stage defeated a battle-hardened king of beasts!

Not only did he defeat it, but he also killed it directly!

In a daze, Ye Qi seemed to see a tall and mighty man clad in battle armor, covered in blood on the battlefield, madly killing enemies!

Indeed, like father like son!

Just as Ye Qi was having these thoughts, he recalled what his third brother had said when they saw Ye Wu's blood-soaked battlefield.

The roles had just switched.

Ye Yiming became Ye Wu, and Ye Wu became the old master!

Looking at Ye Yiming lying on the ground, covered in blood, Ye Qi felt excited.

Who said the young master was a dandy?

All the men of the Ye family are upright men, without weaklings or prodigals!

...

When Ye Yiming woke up again, it was already evening. However, upon awakening, he immediately felt a wave of pain all over his body.

"Ugh~"

Seeing Ye Yiming open his eyes, Da Hei, who had been guarding him, immediately whimpered softly.

"Awake? How do you feel?" Ye Qi, sitting by the fire, smiled when he saw Ye Yiming.

Feel?

Hearing Ye Qi's slightly teasing tone, Ye Yiming smiled bitterly.

But the bitter smile wasn't too bad. This bitter smile made Ye Yiming feel that the pain all over his body had eased a lot.

"Why didn't I give you some healing medicine?"

Hearing Ye Qi's words, Ye Yiming instinctively replied, "Why?"

If there was healing medicine, why not use it?

Seeing Ye Yiming's puzzled look, Ye Qi smiled gently before speaking, "Because enduring the pain from injuries after battles is the best real combat experience. Only through pain can one deeply remember the mistakes made in battle. Only by enduring pain can one truly be considered a real man!"

Ye Qi's words made Ye Yiming fall silent, and for a moment, even the pain in his body diminished.

Yes! Ye Qi was right.

This pain did remind him of the mistakes he made in battle!

Upon careful thought, Ye Yiming realized that although he seemed to have won today, it wasn't entirely the case.

Because when he fought the fierce tiger today, he completely abandoned his human advantages due to fear.

What's the biggest difference between humans and beasts?

Humans have martial arts and techniques! Beasts have nothing.

But think about it, what did I do today?

I didn't use the Bloodthirsty Heaven Decree, a divine-level martial art, during the battle!

I didn't use my innate ability, Blood God Possession!

Even my only technique, Blood Slash, was not used once!

When did I completely forget my advantages and just act recklessly, almost like an untrained person?

If it weren't for my sudden inspiration to jump onto the tiger's back, I don't know how the situation would have ended!

Although Uncle Qi was there, I would have only suffered some injuries at most, certainly no life-threatening danger.

But what if Uncle Qi wasn't there?

What if I were alone today?

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Yiming felt a chill!

I'm still far from enough!

Seeing Ye Yiming lost in thought for a while, seeming to understand something, Ye Qi couldn't help but nod secretly before speaking.

"Heh, young master, you don't need to feel burdened. When I had my first real battle back then, it was much more embarrassing than you."

Hearing Ye Qi reveal a embarrassing incident, Ye Yiming's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really?"

"Really!" Ye Qi smiled bitterly and continued, "When I had my first real battle back then, I was almost scared to wet my pants. What I told you earlier, those were all words from the Marquis."

Grandpa said that?

At this moment, hearing Ye Qi's words, Ye Yiming's interest surged, and even the pain all over his body was forgotten.

"Uncle Qi, then tell me about your situation back then! Let me understand!"

Seeing Ye Yiming's curiosity like a child, Ye Qi felt emotional.

The young master is indeed still a child!

Although the young master is already 18 years old, in some ways, he is really no different from some children!

For example, his combat experience!

Thinking of this, Ye Qi laughed. He had never seen anyone kill a beast two levels higher than themselves just by being reckless.

But even though it's a bit late, the current young master is much stronger than the leader of the four dandies in the Jing Capital.

"Uncle Qi, please tell me quickly!"

Seeing Ye Qi not speaking but inexplicably laughing, Ye Yiming felt a bit unhappy and hurriedly urged him.

"Uh, alright, alright! I'll tell you." Seeing that Ye Yiming seemed a bit unhappy, Ye Qi hurriedly spoke.

"Back in the day, I was one of the Ye Eagles!"

After that, Ye Yiming learned many unknown things from Ye Qi's words.

The Ye Eagles, the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family! These were soldiers personally trained by the old master Ye, tough as iron!

As the name implies, the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family were composed of thirteen people. These thirteen people, trained by the Marquis, were all valiant and skilled in combat! Just based on these thirteen Ye Eagles, they could contend with a thousand soldiers and were invincible on the battlefield!

With their extraordinary achievements, the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family had made remarkable contributions to Tianyang and were even considered mythical figures in the military at that time, commanding the respect of tens of thousands of troops!

Although the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family had completely withdrawn from the battlefield for some reason, their reputation still existed. Even some enemy countries of Tianyang did not dare to invade again because they feared the fame of the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family.

Listening to the legends of the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family, Ye Yiming felt excited.

He never expected that Uncle Qi, who seemed unserious in daily life, was such a legendary figure.

With this thought, Ye Yiming made a firm decision.

I, Ye Yiming, also want to become a person like the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family!

Seeing Ye Yiming's determined look, Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family? What a distant name!

There are actually many things about the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family that Ye Qi hasn't told Ye Yiming.

For example, all the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family are sworn brothers and were all fostered by the Marquis. However, apart from a few people, hardly anyone knows this.

People only know about the Marquis's son Ye Wu, who is also one of the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family! Ye Wu is none other than Ye Yiming's father!

People also don't know that even their biological sons were treated just like the Thirteen Eagles of the Ye Family when the Marquis trained them. They were all treated as if they were his own sons. The reason they were trained so harshly and ruthlessly was that during those turbulent times, only such training could give them a chance to survive.

These are things that Ye Qi didn't say, and Ye Yiming is completely unaware of them. He can only slowly discover and understand them in the future.

...

As the sky was illuminated once again by Tianyang, a night had passed.

At this moment, Ye Yiming stood under a large tree, punching and stretching his muscles.

As for Ye Yiming's injuries, they had mostly healed by now.

This is not to say that Ye Yiming's recovery ability was astonishing; it was all thanks to the healing medicine applied by Ye Qi.

After their conversation last night, Ye Qi applied the medicine to Ye Yiming's injuries.

Initially, Ye Yiming was confused about Ye Qi's actions.

Didn't we say that enduring the pain on my own to remember my mistakes was important?

To this, Ye Qi's response was that since Ye Yiming already knew where he went wrong and had endured the pain for a while, it was enough. The most important thing was that Ye Yiming didn't have much time left, and the fight with Wu Yaoguang was only twenty-something days away. Ye Yiming couldn't afford to waste time on healing!

Recalling Ye Qi's words, Ye Yiming, who had been punching for a while, looked up at the towering peak of Baiyun Mountain that pierced the clouds, feeling even more determined in his heart.

Baiyun Mountain, I, Ye Yiming, will stand at your peak someday. But first, let's test my skills in real combat.
