Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 16

The sun had already set, and the night was narrow and deep.However, the hall of Zhou Family Village was brightly lit tonight.

When Zhou Yi hurriedly arrived in the hall, he realized that he wasn't the first to arrive. It had been a whole month since he broke through the sixth level and advanced to the seventh level. However, during this time, he hadn't informed anyone about his progress, so the elders in the family still thought he was stuck at the sixth level.

Today, while he was practicing as usual, a servant came to inform him that the old master had summoned him to the hall. Zhou Yi didn't dare to delay and immediately hurried to the hall. However, he wasn't the first one to arrive. His second and third brothers had already come.

Zhou Yihai nodded slightly towards Yi and said, "you're here too."

"Yes, Second Brother, hello," Zhou Yi nodded deeply. Although the second brother was the son of the eldest uncle, his attitude towards his younger brothers was not much different. To be honest, among the third generation of the family, except for the strained relationship between Zhou Yizhang, the fifth brother, and him, the rest of the siblings got along quite harmoniously.

Of course, there were some differences between biological brothers, but they were not significant within Zhou Family Village.

Zhou Yihai nodded silently and immediately closed his mouth. However, Zhou Yi knew that it was just his nature. If it weren't for the brotherly bond, he probably wouldn't even greet anyone.

Taking a few steps closer to Zhou Yixuan, the third brother, Zhou Yi quietly asked, "Third Brother, what happened? Why did you all come here?"

Zhou Yixuan smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "I don't know, but since it's a personal summons from Grandfather, it shouldn't be a trivial matter."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, about to speak when suddenly he felt a sensation in his heart. He immediately stopped talking and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

After a moment, several people walked in from outside the dimly lit entrance. Upon seeing these individuals, Zhou Yi and his two companions immediately stood up, straightening their postures and presenting an extremely spirited appearance.

The foremost person was none other than Zhou Wude, the one who established Zhou Family Village. Behind him stood their eldest uncle Zhou Quanxin and third uncle Zhou Quanyi. As for the remaining person, it was naturally Zhou Yitian, known as the number one figure of the third generation.

The three individuals in the hall were all surprised. What could be the matter that made the old patriarch so cautious, gathering almost all the capable forces of the village? Zhou Yi's gaze flickered towards the direction of the book depository. As far as he knew, besides the direct descendants of the grandfather, there was also an old servant whose cultivation had reached the ninth level, on par with the eldest uncle. This old servant seemed to have grown up by the side of the patriarch since childhood and was vastly different from ordinary servants.

All along, this old servant had lived in one of the two side halls within the book depository courtyard, alongside the eldest uncle. The treatment he received was no less favorable than that of the direct descendants.

Today, in Zhou Family Village, apart from that special old servant, the rest of the disciples who had reached the sixth level of inner strength had already gathered together.

Zhou Wude strode into the hall and then took his seat in the central position. His gaze was sharp and piercing as he scanned the people, and anyone who met his eyes seemed to feel a burning and peculiar sensation, immediately lowering their heads involuntarily.
