In the courtyard of the Ye familyâs villa, there stood two thick iron posts connected to the ground.Ye Dongjianâs hands and feet were bound tightly with hemp ropes as thick as an adultâs arm, the other ends of which were secured to the two iron posts.
There wasnât a single gap in the ropes binding Ye Dongjianâs hands and feet, making self-release and escape an impossibility.
To directly break free from the ropes with his current strength was nothing short of a foolâs dream.
After Ye Chenfeng returned from the Wus, a chuckling Ye Dongjian was about to tease him with a few words when, unexpectedly, he was knocked unconscious by Ye Chenfeng.
That led to the sight of a disrobed Ye Dongjian, clad in nothing but his underwear, bound at the hands and feet, lying there.
âAchoo.â Lying on the ground in a stupor, Ye Dongjian involuntarily sneezed, shivering from the intense cold.
Upon opening his eyes, he discovered that all his clothes had been stripped, and he was outside, which explained the unbearable cold.
It was winter, and going without clothes was a death sentence.
Ye Dongjian lifted his head and caught sight of a smiling Ye Chenfeng, which immediately soured his mood.
He rushed to stand and charged at Ye Chenfeng, only to find himself unable to take another step halfway, realizing then that his limbs were tightly bound by the thick hemp ropes, tethered to the iron posts behind him.
After struggling with all his might a couple of times, aside from the painful chafing at his wrists, there was no damage to the iron posts behind him nor to the ropes at his wrists.
âChenfeng, what the hell are you doing?
Untie me quickly; do you want to freeze me to death in this bitter winter?â
âUncle, didnât you want to improve your strength rapidly within a short period?
To increase your strength quickly, you have to pay a certain price, of course.
Donât worry!
Iâll teach you a set of boxing techniques now.
As soon as youâve mastered it, I will immediately untie you.
The ropes binding your hands and feet are long enough, they wonât get in the way of your practice.â
âBut first, we have to do some preparation.â
âSplash, splash, splashââ
Before Ye Dongjian could react to Ye Chenfengâs words, he watched as Ye Chenfeng nonchalantly picked up three wooden buckets filled with cold water and drenched Ye Dongjian with them.
In the dead of winter, without any clothes, and now soaked with three buckets of cold water â even for someone as robust as Ye Dongjian, his teeth began to chatter, and he cursed, âChenfeng, do you want to kill your uncle or what?
What kind of training method is this?
Let me go, I donât need your training.â
With a smile, Ye Chenfeng shook his finger and replied, âThat wonât do, uncle.
Iâve already planned out your training.
How can you give up halfway?
Now, Iâm going to teach you a set of boxing techniques, and Iâll untie you once youâve learned them.â
Teeth clenched from the cold, Ye Dongjian made another desperate attempt to struggle free, but finding it futile, he could only suppress his rage and began to learn the boxing techniques from Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng wasnât just toying with Ye Dongjian â he was forcing him to anger.
When pushed to extreme anger, a person can break through limits.
His methods were aimed at unlocking Ye Dongjianâs dormant potential.
Although Ye Chenfeng couldnât instill the same Soul Force in Ye Dongjianâs body that he possessed himself, he could still awaken the vigor within Ye Dongjian, turning him into a master of vigor.
Enduring the biting cold, Ye Dongjian followed Ye Chenfeng and painstakingly learned the boxing techniques for a full two hours before he finally grasped the routine.
Impatient, he said, âChenfeng, Iâve got the hang of this set of techniques now, can you untie me?â
âI see that youâre quite a quick learner, uncle.
How about we learn another set?
I promise, right after itâs through, Iâll untie you,â Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
âYouââ
Ye Dongjian, clearly angry, managed only a single word before Ye Chenfeng cut him off, âUncle, if you donât want to learn, thatâs fine.
You can stay out here by yourself!â
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was seriously about to go inside, Ye Dongjian got anxious, âChenfeng, who said I didnât want to learn?
Letâs get started quickly!â
Despite his words, Ye Dongjianâs anger was fiercely rising inside, âThis damn kid, I must endure, I must!
Once he unties me, Iâll definitely find a chance to make him suffer as well.
Otherwise, my dignity as his younger uncle will really be swept away.â
The second set of martial arts was much more complicated than the first one.
It took Ye Dongjian a full five hours just to get a basic handle on it, and by then it was already dark.
Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the house, while Ye Dongjian, trailing behind, shouted, âChenfeng, did you forget to untie me?
Iâve memorized the moves of the second martial arts set as well.â
Hearing this, Ye Chenfeng really did come back, muttering under his breath, âI seem to have really forgotten something indeed!â
Ye Chenfeng approached Ye Dongjian, picked up the wooden bucket again, and poured three buckets of cold water over Ye Dongjian, saying, âLittle uncle, you wonât be cold if you move around more.
Seriously practice the martial arts Iâve taught you!
Because I fear you might be lazy, Iâll splash you with three buckets of cold water every hour.â
Ye Dongjian was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead as he yelled, âChenfeng, do you really want to murder your little uncle?
Didnât you hear me?
Hurry up and let me out.â
Watching the retreating figure of Ye Chenfeng, Ye Dongjian felt a surge of frustration inside him.
Inside the Ye family mansion, the Ye elder looked through the window at Ye Dongjian outside.
âChenfeng, wonât your little uncle get into trouble like this?â the Ye elder asked worriedly.
âGrandfather, just relax, I assure you little uncle will be fine.
To gain strength, one must pay the corresponding price,â Ye Chenfeng replied.
The two sets of martial arts that Ye Chenfeng taught to Ye Dongjian were capable of stimulating the internal energy within the body.
And with Ye Dongjian being in such a harsh environment, filled with pent-up anger, his potential was naturally going to be tapped into.
Perhaps in one night, internal energy would form within Ye Dongjianâs body, and once it did, he could break free from the hemp ropes binding his hands and feet with his own strength.
That night, Ye Dongjian could only keep himself warm by continuously practicing those two sets of martial arts, while Ye Chenfeng, true to his word, doused him with three buckets of cold water every hour, causing Ye Dongjianâs anger to continuously rise.
As he practiced the two sets of martial arts more and more smoothly, Ye Dongjian felt a warm energy flowing within his body.
When Ye Chenfeng splashed him with cold water again, his body didnât feel as cold as it did at first.
Ye Chenfeng, observing the changes in his little uncle, couldnât help nodding to himself.
Both Ye Chenfeng and Ye Dongjian stayed up all night without sleep, even the Ye elder didnât close his eyes, occasionally glancing through the window at Ye Dongjian outside.
The next day, the sun rose in the east.
After practicing the martial arts all night, Ye Dongjian didnât feel tired but instead felt more spirited.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng walk out of the house, his anger surged again, cursing, âWhat kind of training is this?
Looks more like youâre just messing with me deliberately.â
With another struggle of his hands and feet, Ye Dongjian felt four streams of energy converging toward his limbs and then âsnap, snap, snap, snap,â the thick hemp ropes binding his limbs unexpectedly all broke apart.
Ye Dongjian was stunned, and much of the anger in his heart dissipated.
Before, breaking four such thick ropes would have been a pipe dream, but now he had done it.
The reason was simple, Ye Chenfeng was truly training him, and in just one dayâs time, his strength had taken a huge leap forward.
âLittle uncle, how is it?
Do you feel like you have endless strength in your body now?â Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile. Ęá´á´á´ Ęá´á´á´sá´ á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ęs á´á´ É´oá´ el FÉŞre.ná´t
The Ye elder, who had been watching from the window of the mansion, couldnât help but smile when he saw Ye Dongjian breaking the four thick ropes.
Now, only Ye Dongjian and Ye Chenfeng were left of the main Ye family line.
The elder naturally hoped they would become stronger and stronger, especially since there were people in the shadows targeting the Ye family.
The stronger Ye Dongjian and Ye Chenfeng were, the safer they would be.
