At this moment, on the Chu Family Martial Arts Field, Chu Zifeng and the second and third brothers were half-squatting in a horse stance. Although Chu Zifeng was a cultivator and should not fear the unbearable summer heat that ordinary people could hardly endure, the natural circulation of the world's vital energy within his body should naturally eliminate the discomfort brought by the seasons. However, at this moment, he was sweating profusely, his face flushed, his teeth clenched, and his legs trembling uncontrollably.
Not far away, Chu Nantian, the head of the family, shook his head and sighed as he watched the three men on the martial arts field.
"Do you three know your guilt?" Chu Nantian's face was full of anger as he spoke.
Although Chu Zhan had been disabled, he was still his own brother, and as his nephews, the three of them dared to come and injure him. Previously, he had turned a blind eye to their bullying of Chu Tiange, thinking it was a kind of motivation. In the world of cultivation, the weak have no dignity and must strive for themselves. But these three were too audacious, almost causing a fatal incident, which he could not allow.
"Uncle, we know our guilt and there will absolutely not be a next time," Chu Zifeng said. Due to Chu Nantian sealing his cultivation, he was already exhausted. This was a common problem for cultivators. Their cultivation level might be high, but their physical constitution was very fragile.
"This time, I will punish you with the horse stance. This is a minor punishment. If there is another time, I will definitely not be lenient according to the family rules," Chu Nantian said, feeling that they should have learned their lesson.
"You may go back. Remember today," Chu Nantian said before turning and leaving.
"Big brother, how are you feeling?" The second brother, who had a strong physique, asked.
"What do you think?" Chu Zifeng directed his anger towards the two of them.
"Big brother, we should avoid provoking Chu Tiange in the future. This kid seems to have gained the favor of the family head," the third brother suggested to Chu Zifeng.
"Do I need to tell you that? In the future, unless I give the order, don't conflict with that little brat!" Chu Zifeng said, shaking his arms and addressing the two.
In fact, when the family head summoned him, Chu Zifeng understood that Chu Tiange might have an opportunity. However, what he didn't expect was that the family head would actually assign him to manage the family's assets. This was something he hadn't anticipated. Since enmity had already been formed, he should bear the consequences. Chu Zifeng regretted offending Chu Tiange. Family resources, especially the supply of spiritual herbs, if Chu Tiange were to cause trouble for him in the future, it would be troublesome. Thinking of this, Chu Zifeng couldn't help but feel a headache.
At dusk, the fiery clouds in the sky resembled a celestial fire, illuminating the entire sky.
At this moment, Chu Tiange was leisurely enjoying this rare tranquility.
I wonder what my parents are doing now? Are they still distressed by my departure? They say a child traveling a thousand miles causes a mother to worry. This parting is probably for a lifetime.
"No, I must go back," Chu Tiange thought of his parents and felt a pang in his heart.
Determined, Chu Tiange understood that the only way to return was to attain a level of cultivation that he currently couldn't comprehend. This was both a motivation and a driving force.
Arriving at Chu Zhan's room, "Father, what I said today was not just a momentary impulse. I will do it," Chu Tiange said, looking at Chu Zhan, who was lying in bed, coughing from time to time, with a burning anger in his heart.
"Son, as long as you have this intention, it's enough. I only hope that you can be safe and sound," Chu Zhan couldn't help but shed tears. With a son like this, what more could a father ask for?
Chu Tiange knelt down deeply, "I, Chu Tiange, do not believe in ghosts and gods, nor do I disrespect the heavens and the earth. But for my parents, I am willing to bend my knees. Father, what are you worried about? I understand. You can rest assured that until I have enough strength, I will not confront others head-on." Chu Tiange understood Chu Zhan's concerns, but he was a person with great potential. What did he have to fear from others?
"Son, go rest early," Chu Zhan looked at Chu Tiange, feeling that this child was just like him in his youth, so unruly and determined. He had made up his mind not to tell Chu Tiange who his enemy was, because telling him would undoubtedly lead to his death.
Watching Chu Tiange bid farewell and leave, Chu Zhan shed tears, feeling deeply gratified that his son had grown up.
In his own room, Chu Tiange closed the door and summoned the immortal master.
"Immortal, I can cultivate my vital energy here, but it's impossible to practice martial arts. If others see it, won't my cultivation method be known to everyone?" Chu Tiange felt that the immortal master had great powers and could surely solve this problem.
"First, raise your cultivation to the fifth stage of Qi cultivation. Do you think anyone can practice this earth-level cultivation method?" The immortal master understood Chu Tiange's intention and immediately stated the requirements.
