I’ve heard that he made it to the Postnatal Realm at the age of just twenty-two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One of the three spots is already taken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all the young martial artists with some reputation in Wanlu County have come to take part in this ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one they are tested and eliminated at a fast pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even many martial artists in the Postnatal Realm, due to their age exceeding twenty-five years, don’t get the chance to advance to the second round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it was Ye Jinhai’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Postnatal Realm martial artist from the Heavenly Sword Sect examined Ye Jinhai’s musculature, he immediately lifted his head and looked at Ye Jinhai, saying, “What’s your cultivation level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Early Postnatal stage, successfully refined one meridian.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twenty years old, early Postnatal stage, pass. Take this token and wait at the back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artist from the Heavenly Sword Sect handed Ye Jinhai a token and instructed him to wait with the other martial artists who had passed the first stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artists around who heard Ye Jinhai’s age and cultivation level were instantly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty years old, in the early Postnatal stage, isn’t his cultivation speed faster than those prodigies of Wanlu County?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From which family does he come from? He seems to have popped out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai was quite unfamiliar to them. Usually, he would mostly stay at home and cultivate, hardly giving anyone an opportunity to know him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Ye Jinhai’s name began to circulate among the nearby martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them wanted to see what this individual, who was on track to becoming the top prodigy of Wanlu County, looked like?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the crowd, a young man’s face turned darker as he heard Ye Jinhai’s age and cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu was feeling rather upset. Originally, his achievement of reaching the early Postnatal stage at the age of twenty-five made him third in Wanlu County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with three spots available for recruits from Wanlu County in the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was certain he would secure a place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with Ye Jinhai’s emergence, he could potentially be pushed to fourth place. How could he not be upset?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joining the Heavenly Sword Sect could give him a slight chance of becoming a martial artist in the Innate Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he doesn’t make it, he would lose all hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, go and investigate where this Ye Jinhai comes from.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first round of testing ended and the second round of testing, carried out by top Postnatal Realm experts to weed out potential cheaters, finally began with the final test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While a martial artist’s cultivation level is important, so is their combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those below the Postnatal Realm are basically there for the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What really matters is the martial artists of the Postnatal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only a handful of Postnatal Realm martial artists in their twenties In wanlu county.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it was Ye Jinhai’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ye Jinhai’s opponent was Zhao Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai casually selected a longsword, pointing its tip at the ground, radiating an air of chivalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu’s weapon was a saber, held level, with him staring fervently at Ye Jinhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was inferior to Ye Jinhai in terms of aptitude, and if he was also outmatched in fighting skills, then he would have no chance left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best, if he could totally incapacitate his competitor, Ye Jinhai, during this fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flying Star Saber!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu excelled in swift saber techniques. His saber moved so fast it left a series of illusions, striking at Ye Jinhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai subtly shifted his stance, gracefully drifting backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stylish movements drew squeals from the women in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Mu’s strength waned, Ye Jinhai swiftly made his move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle Wind Sword, a thrust!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust his sword out, as fast as lightning, appearing instantly at Zhao Mu’s fifth limb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu only felt the hairs on his body stand erect. In an instant, he exploded with unprecedented speed, moving away from Ye Jinhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the slight chill at his crotch, Zhao Mu’s view of Ye Jinhai changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he thought Ye Jinhai was a modest gentleman. Unexpectedly, he is this kind of person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squealing from the women suddenly stopped. The gentleman they had in their eyes seemed a bit off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai gave a faint smile, entirely unconcerned about the change in people’s gaze towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thrusting the sword, aiming for the feet, the eyes, wherever the vulnerability lied, Ye Jinhai’s sword would appear there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Ye Jinhai’s view, swordsmanship is swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how bizarre the swordsmanship, it could not change his true nature of being a fine gentleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu exposed another opening, Ye Jinhai’s sword appeared in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Zhao Mu could no longer muster the speed that wasn’t his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the sword nearing his fifth limb, Zhao Mu swallowed hard: “I quit, I quit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai elegantly twirled his sword before sheathing it: “Thank you for admitting defeat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mu turned and left. This was too embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhao Mu left, he shot a vicious glance at Ye Jinhai. His eyes were filled with resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Ye Jinhai, not only did he snatch away his spot, but he also caused him to lose face, he deserved to die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai’s mouth hinted a smile. It seemed he would be busy tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Jinhai, well done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak Postnatal Realm martial artist responsible for the second-round examination patted Ye Jinhai on the shoulder, a smile covering his face. “A disciple like you is just what my master would like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu He was very pleased. Having this freakish disciple, his master would finally stop tormenting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai felt Liu He’s kindness but couldn’t make any sense of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s happening, did this elder martial brother’s master adhere to the same code of conduct as him, hence the affinity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any surprises, Ye Jinhai passed the exam and became one of the three disciples from Wanlu County accepted by the Heavenly Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days later, the martial artists from Heavenly Sword Sect would return to Wanlu County to take them to the Heavenly Sword Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those seven days provides them with the opportunity to spend time with their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect is located in Guanghe Prefecture; it’s not easy to return once they leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Ye Jinhai returned home, he immediately sought out Ye Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, do you know how to prepare poison?” Ye Jinhai said, getting straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Poison? I do know how to make it, but why do you need poison?” Ye Fan looked at Ye Jinhai. He had the feeling that this son of his had a devious streak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, I participated in the disciple-recruitment ceremony of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I suspect I have been marked, and there might be an attempt on my life tonight…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jinhai then recounted his grudge with Zhao Mu that afternoon, and shared his suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to the story, Ye Fan was greatly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was proud of being part of the Ye family lineage, how did he end up having such a cunning descendent like Ye Jinhai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Fan found himself quite pleased with this characteristic..\u003C\u002Fp>",1434,"2026-06-06T02:11:19.461Z",1,"novelbin.me","f665cdfd8e13b8b645981f7d41aab718bbc5326ffbf973a8da4d3e7d1db7f758","clan-leader-my-strength-equals-to-that-of-the-en-chapter-29","clan-leader-my-strength-equals-to-that-of-the-en-chapter-27",643,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fclan-leader-my-strength-equals-to-that-of-the-en-cover.jpg"]
