Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 31

"Yi, thank you." After walking out of the courtyard with Zhou Yi by his side, Zhou Yitian suddenly stopped and spoke solemnly.

Zhou Yi turned around in surprise, looking puzzled, and asked, "Big brother, what are you thanking me for?"

"At the New Year's martial arts competition, fortunately, you didn't use that innate martial technique. 

Indeed, after witnessing the true power of the Thirty-Six Forms of Mountain-Crushing, Zhou Yitian was completely convinced. He also understood that if he were in Uncle San's place, he would definitely not be able to walk away unscathed under this technique.

Zhou Yi blinked his eyes, his pair of eyes extremely lively. With a bright smile on his face, he said, "Big brother, you're joking. We're brothers. The sparring between brothers is not a matter of life and death, so naturally, we wouldn't use innate martial techniques." Pausing for a moment, Zhou Yi suddenly asked, "Big brother, do you know what an innate martial technique is?"

Zhou Yitian hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from Dad once before. An innate martial technique is a martial arts technique specifically designed for those who cultivate innate energy. It has strict requirements on the cultivator's aptitude and is not something an ordinary person can successfully cultivate."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What's the difference between cultivators of innate energy and us?"

Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Yitian said, "Little brother, Dad once said that it's better for us not to know too much before we come of age."

"Why?" Zhou Yi asked, puzzled.

"Because before we come of age, our minds are hard to settle. And before a person comes of age, it's when their mind is most pure and it's the best opportunity to break through the limits. Dad once said that some prominent families don't teach their martial arts techniques to their younger generation before they turn twenty. Instead, they focus on cultivating internal energy, aiming to achieve the highest level of internal energy cultivation. Although our Zhou family isn't that extreme, Grandfather also doesn't want us to know too much and affect our state of mind," Zhou Yitian explained seriously.

Zhou Yi nodded in realization. He had personal experience with this. When he was stuck at the peak of the fifth layer of internal energy and couldn't break through, it was also due to the expectations of others. Those expectations were like a towering mountain pressing on his heart, tightly restraining him, making it impossible for him to have another opportunity for a breakthrough.

Zhou Yitian stopped in his tracks, wearing a sincere smile on his face. He said, "Yi Tian, it's better not to aim too high until your heart is completely settled." He then sighed and continued, "The gap between innate cultivators and us is truly immense."

Zhou Yi's heart trembled slightly, and he said, "Big brother, I also understand. Innate cultivators are those who have surpassed Grandfather in terms of internal energy, right?"

Zhou Yitian was momentarily taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "You're right. Once you know about these people, it's easy to make that guess." He pursed his lips and seemed to be considering something in his mind. Finally, he said, "Little brother, Grandfather has high expectations for both of us, hoping that we can eventually advance to the innate realm. But as your brother, I know that it's highly unlikely in this lifetime. The future hope of our Zhou family relies on you alone."

Zhou Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "Big brother, what are you talking about? Who can be so certain about the future? If you truly had no hope, Grandfather and Uncle would have given up long ago. You must pull yourself together."
