Can he lift it?
Not only did Yang Jinhe doubt it, but even Elder Yang, who had a good relationship with Yang Chen, stroked his beard and sweated profusely. From what he knew of Yang Chen, he had little martial arts cultivation.
Yang Chen’s move could not be a desperate and confused one, right?
At this point, people were already pointing and commenting on Yang Chen openly.
“This Yang Chen, he’s just seeking attention!” When Yang Heng saw where Yang Chen had stopped, he swallowed saliva apprehensively, and then sneered when he recalled Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation.
Right, why was he nervous? With Yang Chen’s martial arts cultivation, could he lift a 1200 jin boulder?
Yang Wu stood by and sarcastically said, “Soon, he will know the painful price of fooling everyone at the Coming of Age Ceremony.”
“Brother, this kid still wants to lift a 1200 jin boulder, I think he’s dreaming of surpassing you.” Yang Heng snorted coldly.
“With him?” Yang Wu’s mouth curled up. “I don’t need to crush the dreams of a nobody.”
Not only them, but even the young girls who were cheering and supporting Yang Caidie were dumbfounded.
“Isn’t it… ‘
“Sister Cai Die, is your brother really that powerful?”
“Isn’t it that I heard from someone your brother has no martial arts cultivation at all?”
“1200 jin, that’s almost on par with the martial arts geniuses of the large tribes.”
Yang Caidie’s eyes were wide with disbelief, was her brother goofing off again just after getting serious for a few days?
She felt a little at a loss.
What could she do in such a situation?
Just as her thoughts were racing, suddenly, Yang Chen made his move.
Yang Chen’s sudden action drew countless pairs of eyes at this moment, and everyone in the scene focused on him. They didn’t know whether they were waiting for Yang Chen to make a fool of himself or for the boy to create a miracle.
However, in the next moment, everything fell silent.
Because Yang Chen effortlessly lifted the 1200 jin boulder with both hands, and in the next moment, he easily raised it above his head. Moreover, this process didn’t cause any physical hindrance to him, and three seconds later, when the boulder fell back down, Yang Chen’s face remained composed and unaffected.
From this calm and composed demeanor, it was clear that the 1200 jin boulder was not Yang Chen’s limit.
It seemed that the boy could still attempt the 1300 jin boulder.
Many clever people already had some guesses: “Could this kid be the true dark horse of the Yang family, having reached the Fifth Level of Body Refining Realm?”
When such a thought occurred, some people were too shocked to believe it.
At this moment, there was no doubt that it was a shocking moment.
No one dared to believe it was true.
Even Yang Caidie, who claimed to know the size of her brother’s underwear, covered her mouth, unable to believe that the one lifting the 1200 jin boulder was her own brother.
“This…”
Yang Family Patriarch, Yang Jinhe, was also shaken to the core.
Yang Chen, was Yang Chen really so formidable?
Elder Yang was also dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?” Elder Yang sweated profusely, as he was already anxious enough to wring out a handful of sweat.This made Elder Yang Si on the side laugh heartily: “Second Brother, what do you think? I told you earlier to let Yang Chen participate in the assessment, perhaps the result will not disappoint you too much.”
“Fourth Brother, did you know that Yang Chen’s Martial Arts Cultivation had already reached such a level? This kid hid it so well that even the old man was fooled!” Elder Yang took a deep breath and calmed his shocked emotions.
“Yes, at first, I couldn’t believe it either, but the fact is, the rumors about Yang Chen were just a manifestation of his low-key behavior. In reality, among the young generation of our Yang family, he undoubtedly takes the crown as the true dual cultivator of the Way of Alchemy and Martial Arts, an unparalleled genius in the Yang family!”
Dual Cultivation of Martial and Alchemy, a term that is extremely impressive.
In fact, there are not many people who can truly achieve dual cultivation of Martial and Alchemy in the real sense.
For example, Yang Heng is also considered to be a dual cultivator of Martial and Alchemy, but his alchemy and martial arts cultivation are not outstanding. Sooner or later, he will have to give up one of them and focus on the other.
But it’s like Yang Chen. Both his alchemy level and martial arts cultivation are enough to take the crown, and only then can he be called a true genius of dual cultivation of Martial and Alchemy.
“Dual Cultivation of Martial and Alchemy, Dual Cultivation of Martial and Alchemy… Unbelievable!” Elder Yang muttered to himself.
He didn’t know how to express his excitement.
On the other hand, Li Youyan laughed loudly and said, “Haha, Yang Family Patriarch, you hid it deep enough that you even deceived the elders of your own clan. Seems like my speculation was correct; this Yang Chen is the secret genius you have been cultivating to amaze everyone as the trump card of this Coming of Age Ceremony.”
Yang Jinhe was taken aback. With Li Youyan’s question, all the doubts were cleared up.
So, the genius admired by Li Youyan was this Yang Chen, and he himself was still completely in the dark!
Remembering his actions a few days ago when he expelled Yang Chen from his own courtyard, Li Youyan’s face turned red with embarrassment.
With Li Youyan’s question, how could Yang Jinhe deny it? He hurriedly said, “Brother Li’s eyes are truly discerning, I couldn’t deceive you. Yes, Yang Chen is the secret genius I have been cultivating for the Yang family. It seems that this kid’s cultivation has indeed reached my expected results.”
“In my opinion, this kid must have hidden something in the assessment just now,” Li Youyan muttered.
“Well, I’m afraid that this child’s cultivation has reached at least the Fourth Level Peak of Body Refining Realm, and perhaps not far from the Fifth Level of Body Refining Realm,” Yang Jinhe said slowly.
Yang Chen’s performance stunned everyone present.
Yang Heng and Yang Wu were no exceptions.
Yang Heng was the one who couldn’t accept Yang Chen’s achievements the most.
At this moment, he shouted angrily, “Impossible! There must be a problem somewhere. Yang Chen cheated, he definitely cheated! Everyone, don’t be fooled by him. Yang Chen couldn’t cultivate martial arts since he was little and is a complete waste. How could he possibly lift a 1200 Jin (600 KG) stone?”
His words caused a stir of sighs.
“Cheating?
“It seems really possible.”
“Presumptuous!”
Suddenly, the Yang Family Patriarch leaped down from the loft. After splashing up a few waves of dust, he sternly shouted, “Yang Heng! This is the Coming of Age Ceremony, not your family’s back garden. Can cheating be concluded by you? Do you think that the eyes of the Clan Leader are blind?”
“No, no, Clan Leader…” Yang Heng never expected that his words would force the Clan Leader to come down himself, and he hurriedly said, “Clan Leader, what I said is the truth.”
Yang Jinhe was also curious about Yang Chen’s martial arts talent. After all, rumors had spread before that Yang Chen could not cultivate martial arts. But Yang Chen’s achievements today were indeed somewhat incredible.
However, regardless of cause, he did not believe that Yang Chen truly cheated and deceived his eyes. The key point was that the genius admired by Li Youyan was obviously Yang Chen. Today, he couldn’t neglect Yang Chen!
Neglecting Yang Chen would mean neglecting Li Youyan, and this was not the result he wanted to see.
“Shut up!” Yang Jinhe coldly said, “Yang Chen is one of the most outstanding geniuses of my Yang family, and we won’t allow your doubt. Alright, I won’t say more. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will revoke your qualification for the next test!”
“Yes, Clan… Clan Leader!” Yang Heng trembled all over, not daring to defy Yang Jinhe’s orders.
Yang Jinhe turned around and continued, “Alright, now I announce that the First Level Assessment is won by Yang Chen. Of course, a momentary success or failure doesn’t mean much. Next, the Second Level Assessment of today’s Coming of Age Ceremony will begin, the Combat Assessment. The rules are simple: two people fight, and the last victorious person will win the crown of today’s Coming of Age Ceremony!”
With his words falling, Yang Jinhe turned away, and the Coming of Age Ceremony completely entered its climax..
