One of them wore brocade robes, it was Han Yongjin from the Chengsheng Mountain’s Han Mansion, and the other donned blue clothes; he was his brother, Han Yongchun.

Initially, both had low aptitude, but due to their exceptional performances, they were included in Han Li’s list for key cultivation training and were given Rebirth Pills, which transformed their aptitude to fifth-grade.

Now, both had become Great Masters in the Gangyuan Realm, with Han Yongjin in the Sixth Heaven and Han Yongchun in the Seventh Heaven of the Gangyuan Realm.

Although their cultivation was not high, their combat abilities were astonishing, comparable to Great Masters at the Peak of Gangyuan Realm, and each had their own hidden strengths, such that even those lesser in strength from the God Refining Realm could hardly trouble them.

“Big bro Chun, when will they arrive?”

Putting down the wine pot, Han Yongjin asked with a frown.

Since his breakthrough into the Gangyuan Realm, he had ventured out, and not just him; other disciples from Han Mansion did the same, heading out for experiences upon reaching the Gangyuan Realm.

Han Yongjin had been tempering himself outside for a year when he encountered Han Yongchun, and the two clicked right away, deciding to venture together.

Both were sons of Han Li, and although not from the same mother, they were blood brothers, with frequent contacts and close relations. With their father’s constraints, they would not commit fratricide.

After the two joined forces, they ventured together, leaving Yuanzhou and arriving at Jizhou. In Yuanzhou, apart from their clan, the strongest were also of the Gangyuan Realm, offering no significant challenge for training.

Now, they were waiting for two cultivators from the Gangyuan Realm to arrive, core disciples of the Mincang Sect from Jizhou, which was a force within the Hollow Void Stage.

“Should be soon.” Han Yongchun also frowned slightly, feeling somewhat impatient.

The Mincang Sect was merely a Hollow Void Stage force, and yet their two core disciples were dragging their feet. Did they look down on them?

Their Han Mansion outwardly appeared as an Immortal Refining Clan, but he and Han Yongjin, who were prioritized descendants, knew some secrets; their father was far from as simple as he seemed.

After all, their father preached by example, teaching them to be humble, take caution when outside, keep their cultivation hidden, and not act rashly before planning diligently…

Han Yongjin and Han Yongchun both knew their father was definitely not just a cultivator in the God Refining Realm, but very likely a Grandmaster in the Hollow Void Realm, as their father was accustomed to concealing his real cultivation level.

During their expeditions, their mothers had also revealed some secrets to them, including that their father Han Li was a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

The descendants of Han Mansion who knew this information were both shocked and felt it was within their expectations, having grown used to their father’s ways. Even if they were told their father was Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, they would dare to believe it.

With a powerful father, Han Yongjin, Han Yongchun, Han Yongfan, Han Yongyan, and others ventured outside with full confidence, not worried about offending anyone.

In the Daqian Empire, apart from the owner of The Li Manor in the Capital City, their father was among the strongest.

In Jizhou, the strongest force, the Canghai Sect, had a Sect Leader who was also just a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and his combat ability might not even be stronger than their father’s.

After all, Han Mansion had many Heaven Rank cultivation martial skills, and even more Earth Rank ones. Descendants such as them, who were prioritized for training, all chose some they could practice to enhance their combat abilities.

If they had learned these techniques, then their father certainly knew them too, and his combat ability was probably extremely formidable, not something the Canghai Sect Leader could match. How many Heaven Rank martial skills could the Canghai Sect possess?

“Big bro Chun, let’s wait for another half hour, if they still don’t show up, we’ll find someone else.” Han Yongjin’s face showed his impatience.

They had come to Jizhou to participate in a talent competition organized by the Canghai Sect, with bountiful rewards for the victors.

Neither Han Yongjin nor Han Yongchun were concerned about the rewards; what they desired was renown, hoping to accomplish something to impress their father and receive better cultivation support.

The talent competition consisted of three trials, one of which involved entering a barrier to hunt demonic beasts and compete for points, a task designed for teams ranging from two to five people.

Han Yongjin and Han Yongchun’s abilities were certainly sufficient, but out of caution, they wanted to find two teammates to serve as cannon fodder to scout ahead or to take the fall if danger arose.

This strategy had been systematically taught in Han Mansion’s training curriculum, and they both kept it in mind during their ventures, leading to smooth and triumphant experiences.

“Alright.” Han Yongchun nodded.

They were merely looking for two cannon fodder teammates to take the hits; the two from the Mincang Sect would do, but other cultivators could serve as well. Although there would be some risk following them, they would reap considerable benefits, especially entering the third trial.

Picking up his cup, Han Yongchun took another sip of wine while his thoughts dwelled on the upcoming talent competition.

Years ago, he had come across an opportunity at the Mangyang Mountain ruins within the Leiyuan Manor in Yuanzhou, and after emerging, his cultivation progressed rapidly. Having experienced much, upon returning to Han Mansion, he was rewarded by his father with a Rebirth Pill and the identity of a core disciple, hence gaining access to abundant cultivation resources.

He was originally quite pleased with himself, having improved his aptitude to fifth-grade and becoming a prioritized descendant with a promising future, but a casual conversation he overheard between Han Yonglin and Han Yongyun jolted him awake.

A few years down the line, there could be a reshuffling among the prioritized disciples, with fiercer competition awaiting. Han Yongchun didn’t know the reasons, but he knew he had to work harder.

He aimed to take the lead in this talent contest and, at the very least, finish in the top three. Only then, upon his return to Han Mansion, would he have reason to expect his father’s praise.

Han Yongjin’s thoughts were similar to Han Yongchun’s. He had obtained the Rebirth Pill through his abilities. Now that there were no more simple but strenuous tasks like searching for Rebirth Flowers, he could only strive to show his mettle.
