The cold wind blew, and the leaves rustled, whispering as if in a hushed conversation or gentle laughter. In the backyard of the Zhou family's compound, apart from the sound of the wind, there was silence; no one spoke at this moment.

Within the Zhou family, Zhou Yitian was undoubtedly a prominent figure, especially among the third generation. He had long been regarded by everyone as the most promising individual. Even during family banquets, he was the only third-generation member allowed to take the first seat.

This was not solely because of his status as the eldest grandson; what truly earned him the respect of others was his exceptional talent in cultivation. At the age of fourteen, he reached the sixth level, and at nineteen, he advanced to the seventh level. Now, at the age of twenty-two, Zhou Yitian was renowned throughout Taicang County. Even among the three major aristocratic families in the county, he was considered the top expert.

No other third-generation member from the Xu and Cheng families had achieved a seventh-level internal energy cultivation like him. Although Zhou Yi had reached the sixth level at the age of thirteen, as long as he couldn't advance again before the age of twenty, he would never be on par with Zhou Yitian in the eyes of others.

As for whether Zhou Yi could achieve this goal before the age of twenty, it was uncertain and no one could guarantee it. After all, the difficulty of advancing from the sixth level to the seventh level was far greater than before, even Zhou Yitian himself couldn't explain how he managed to overcome it.

Therefore, when Zhou Yitian stepped forward and challenged Zhou Yi, a sense of incredibility surged from the depths of everyone's hearts in the Zhou family compound.

After a while, Zhou Wude suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Yi, your eldest brother has invited you to a battle. You should give it your all."

Zhou Yi glanced deeply at his grandfather and older brother, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Yes."

Zhou Yihai walked away gloomily, exchanging a glance with Yi Xuan. Both of them had a puzzled look, unsure of what their eldest brother was up to. In previous years, after their duels, they would join forces to challenge their older brother, only to be unquestionably defeated in the end.

They were well aware of their older brother's strength and held him in great admiration. Although their sixth younger brother had risen unexpectedly, they couldn't believe that he could rival their older brother in any way. Therefore, they couldn't understand why their older brother would step forward to challenge.

Zhou Quanyi, watching his two outstanding nephews, felt immense pride. Zhou Family Compound had made a name for itself in Taicang County in just a few decades, undoubtedly the youngest among the three major aristocratic families. However, the third generation of the Zhou family was the most promising, and Zhou Quanyi had absolute confidence that once the third generation grew up, the Zhou Family Compound would undoubtedly become the leading family in Taicang County.

Taking a few steps back, Zhou Quanyi gave a loud command, and the most anticipated battle among the younger generation finally began.

Zhou Yitian placed one hand on his chest and made a beckoning gesture with the other, while Yi didn't hold back, crossing his fists and taking large strides forward, rolling forward like a boulder.

After a brief exchange, it was clear to everyone that Zhou Yitian was indeed the top expert among the third-generation members, gradually gaining the upper hand without anyone noticing.

Zhou Yitian specialized in earth-element cultivation techniques. Standing at the center of the arena with his feet apart, he resembled a sturdy tree deeply rooted in the ground. No matter how Yi attacked, he remained immovable like a mountain. His hands waved lightly around him, effortlessly dispersing and deflecting Yi's consecutive rolling punches, unable to pose any threat to him.
