I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 32: Thank You

Full strength? What if I kill you? Ye Mao didnt know what Ye Yong was thinking. Do you not have any idea where your limits are? Theres a war between cultivators and mortals that mortals can never pass! If I use my full strength then not a bit of you would be left!

That would only be because I am not good enough. Dont worry, everyone here can testify for me and wont let the elders blame you.

Ye Maos underlings were also confused by Ye Yongs actions, but they could only nod their heads when Ye Mao looked at them.

Of course, Ye Mao didnt dare to kill Ye Yong. After all, they were family, and Ye Yong was his younger cousin. His goal had changed from leaving marks on Ye Yongs face to crippling one of his hands. Okay, dont say anything else. I have my own thoughts.

If you dont use your full strength, then dont blame me if you take a loss, Ye Yong smiled slightly.

A mere mortal, Ye Mao smiled coldly throwing a punch at Ye Yong. He didnt use any battle arts and was just punching with his body which had been strengthened by spiritual energy.

Ye Yong slowly raised his fist to meet with Ye Maos fist. The two fists soon collided.

OWWW!

Ye Yong was still standing where he was while Ye Mao was holding his hand and screaming on the ground.

What happened? Ye Maos underlings looked at each other in confusion.

Ye Yong really liked the feeling of satisfaction he got from showing off. I already told you. Its your own fault for not listening. Do you want to continue?

Of course were continuing! Ye Maos hand hurt, but he thought that it was only because he had been too careless. Ye Yong actually isnt really a cripple, he just crippled his cultivation. His physique that had been forged long ago is still there and his body is still strong.

Ye Mao switched to a different hand and decided to use his spiritual energy this time and use about 20% of his strength. 20% strength shouldnt be able to kill Ye Yong. Itll at most cause him to get internal injuries. Ill just give him some pills for internal injuries later.

Ye Mao threw another punch, and Ye Yong once again slowly raised his fist.

Ah! Ye Mao fell to the ground again and held his hand in pain. This is impossible! You dont have any cultivation, so how is your physical body this strong?

Who told you that I dont have any cultivation? Did you personally confirm it? Ye Yong shook his head and looked at Ye Mao with pity.

Ye Yong had looked at Ye Mao that exact way before, and anger immediately blinded Ye Mao.

Im a guy at the 6th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm! Even if you have cultivated, you would at most be at the Qi Refinement Realm! Tremble and kneel under my cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm 6th layer!

Ye Mao threw another punch with 80% of his strength. This time, Ye Mao no longer fell to the ground. Instead, he got knocked back onto the wall. Having suffered internal injuries, Ye Mao spat out blood. He looked at Ye Yong in shock. Your cultivation hadnt disappeared! Youre still at Foundation Establishment Realm 7th layer! Only Foundation Establishment Realm 7th layer cultivators can injure me this easily!

Wrong. Ye Yong shook his head.

Could you already be at the 8th layer?

Ye Yong shook his head again.

9th layer?

Ye Yong continued shaking his head.

10th layer? Theres no way youre already at the Crystallization Realm, right?

I certainly havent. Ye Yong wasnt going to tell Ye Mao that he was at the 11th layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Besides, no one would believe him even if he said it, with the exception of Wu Xue and Lin Wei.

But my grandfather said that you dont have any cultivation left Ye Mao couldnt accept what had happened. He had only been the lead genius of the Ye Family for a few days! He couldnt accept the fact that he already had to give up his position and hand it over.

Sometimes even elders might get things wrong. Ye Yong had originally planned to show off the next day on the assessment date, but he didnt mind letting out a bit of rumor saying that he actually still had cultivation. The reason was that it would be too annoying otherwise. Ye Mao was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm 6th layer and still dared to provoke him.

Heavenly Luo Sects assessment date was tomorrow, and being a former genius that was previously engaged to Qin Shi Meng, Ye Yong was naturally a target of jealousy for many people. It would be very annoying for Ye Yong to have just any random person provoke him because they think that he was a mortal.

Ye Yong would only bother to show off to those talented geniuses, not the background characters. He wasnt as bored as the male lead was and would go off to fight some useless background character 24/7 to show off to pretty much no one.

If theres nothing else, then please go back. Ye Yong waved his hand. Ye Mao just got some internal injuries from the impact and would just need to take some recovery pills and would recover the next day, which wouldnt affect his ability to take the Heavenly Luo Sects assessment at all. As such, it was unlikely that Ye Maos parents would come to make trouble for him.

Young Master Ye Yong, actually, we came here today to ask if you need any help carrying your luggage! The underlings changed their attitudes faster than one could flip a page in a book when they saw that Ye Yong was stronger than Ye Mao. They hadnt insulted Ye Yong earlier, so they would at most make Ye Mao unhappy if they defected and changed sides.

Scram, I dont need your help. Not bothering me is help. Ye Yong didnt understand why the villainous young masters in the novels always stayed with their male underlings. Does it feel that good to be kissed in the ass? Being with cute maids is so much nicer. Ye Yong didnt want to be around male underlings 24/7, and he didnt need them anyways.

After Ye Mao and his underlings left, Wu Xue came over with a handkerchief and wiped away Ye Yongs nonexistent sweat. Young Master, are you hungry? Ill go get some food for you to eat.

Ye Yong was already in the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he didnt need to eat and just needed to absorb spiritual energy. However, eating with Wu Xue would increase her favorability rating.

Sure, Ye Yong said, grabbing Wu Xues hand. But before that

Ha- have dessert? Wu Xue was extremely nervous and a little happy.

Hows your cultivation going? Ye Yong asked, betraying her expectations.

Qi Refinement 2nd layer Wu Xue said without excitement, lowering her head.

Qi Refinement 2nd layer in 7 days is amazing. Why arent you happy? Ye Yong asked. Even he was happy, so he thought that Wu Xue would be happier because he thought that she always desired to become stronger.

I am very happy, Wu Xue said, squeezing out a smile.

You improved so fast, so I must give you a reward.

Re- reward! Wu Xue instantly became excited again.

Young Master kissed me for forging my physique last time. Now that I can cultivate, what reward will I get?

Here, this is a yellow-grade rank 5 blade, take it, Ye Yong said, giving Wu Xue a reward that wasnt what she wanted.

A yellow-grade rank 5 blade wasnt very strong, but it was still something that many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators from ordinary cultivators wouldnt be able to use because it was expensive. However, Ye Yong had gotten it for only 10 transcend points. After all, being expensive was only to ordinary cultivators, and that didnt mean that there wasnt an abundance of them.

Abundant items were things that the system sold very cheaply. Even immortal herbs that werent very old or rare only cost a few thousand transcend points- cheaper than a full heavenly-grade mental art. However, immortal herbs were consumable items and were for one-time use while mental arts continuously supported a cultivators cultivation, so the difference in pricing was reasonable.

Ye Yong gave Wu Xue such a cheap item not because he was stingy, but because giving her a weapon that was too good would cause people to target her for the weapon. Giving Wu Xue a weapon was to let her have a better means of protecting herself- not to cause trouble for her.

Th- thank you, Young Master, Wu Xue said, accepting the weapon and showing a bitter smile.

Translators Notes:

So I went back to the previous chapters to check some stuff because I hadnt put down something in my notes, and it seems like I might have mixed up ranks and grades and that stuff. So, here are the classifications that I will be using for different things.

Cultivation arts: grades

Proficiency: stages

Pills: grade then rank; each grade has multiple ranks (Ex: middle-grade rank 3)

Spirit stones: grades

Weapons: grades then rank; each grade has multiple ranks (Ex: mystery-grade rank 7)

Cultivation: realms then layer; each realm has multiple layers
