Yang Kai punched landed, causing some stone chip to fly from uber stone statue (called it this just for reference). However, there was no response from the uber stone statue.
Yang Kai tried again and noticed that his True Yang Yuan Qi that he used to punch the uber stone statue was absorbed!
After a few more punches, Yang Kai could see a hint of red light coming out from the uber stone statue, as some of his stolen Yang Yuan Qi fluctuates inside it. Suddenly, the uber stone statue’s hand started to slowly move, causing Yang Kai to be startled.
It was absorbing his Yang Yuan Qi as a power source! Thankfully, it only had a little bit of Yuan Qi from Yang Kai, otherwise, Yang Kai expected it to be moving as quick or even quicker than the normal stone statues.
When Yang Kai finally uncovered this fact, instead of stopping his attacks, his attacks became more ferocious.
Let’s see if I will destroy you before you get the chance to move! Yang Kai’s eyes glimmered with stubbornness. Even with his fist covered with blood, Yang Kai was relentless.
As the Yuan Qi the uber stone statue absorbed becomes more and more, it’s movements also became faster. It managed to lift it’s hand up, stone eyes’ locked onto Yang Kai, preparing to strike down.
However, the uber stone statue’s chest was full of cracks; due to Yang Kai’s relentless attacks.
The uber stone statue’s hand slammed down as quickly as it could but Yang Kai managed to dodge the attack without a problem. Once the stone palm landed on the ground, a dust cloud formed as the strong wind currents produced by the collision made Yang Kai’s hair and clothing rustle.
*Rumble*
Quickly, Yang Kai’s two fists were coated in flames as the speed and power of his movements heightened.
*Bang*
Yang Kai’s fist collided into the uber stone statue’s chest, causing the deep cracks to finally break down into bits of rubble. The uber stone statue took a fatal strike as its body quickly developed cracks all over, turning rubble.
Inside the rubble, Yang Kai managed to find a stone baby.
He had wasted enough time here. Yang Kai could hear the stone statues that he lured away were about to come back.
Yang Kai complexion sank as he quickly placed the stone baby into his clothing, in the chest area, and ran away.
Yang Kai took a circular route to avoid all the stone statues and returned back to the group.
When he arrived, Du Yishuang was extremely happy to see Yang Kai. “Yang Kai! We manage to find one stone baby!”
“Hehe, it seems that my luck is quite good.” Yang Kai chuckled as he avoided looking at Lan Chudie. However, when the girl saw Yang Kai’s fist full of blood, she quickly grabbed his hands and asked with knitted brows. “How did you get this injury?”
Her appearance looked kind and gentle, as though she truly cared for the well-being of her Fellow Apprentice.
Yang Kai quickly withdrew his hands. “There were several stone statues that managed to catch up to me. In the end, I had to fend them off to escape.”
Lan Chudie was stunned for a moment but her composure quickly changed as she smiled. “As long as you’re safe, it’s alright.”
“Let’s not waste any more time. Let’s first distribute the stone babies and strengthen ourselves before doing anything.” Zuo An proposed.
Lan Chudie nods, “Yeah,” as she took out all five stone statues and placed them in front of the group.
The numbers of red veins within these five stone babies were the same. Thus, all of them were of the same grade of Martial Skill. Without obtaining the Martial Skills themselves, all group members would not know what type of Martial Skill the stone baby contained. Thus, their decision was entirely based up to luck.
After these few days of hard work, everyone’s eyes were glued onto the five stone babies. Their benefits, in the end, were based on luck. Nonetheless, even if they were to obtain something lesser than the others, they still obtained a Earth Grade Martial Skill!
“So, who should select first?” Nie Yong eagerly asked. Although he wants to be the first to choose, it was not good to self-proclaim it out loud.
“I think Yang Fellow Apprentice should get to choose first. After all, he was the one that took the most risk and also received some injuries. To be fair, he should be the first one to choose.” Lan Chudie smiled towards Yang Kai.
(Silavin: Bloody cunning bitch. You will find out why in the next paragraph.)
The priority to select was actually of unimportance. After all, the first one to select would not necessarily mean that the person would receive the best Martial Skill. This was the same for the last person to select. Hence, it did not matter who selected first. However, Lan Chudie proposed this just to seem as though she was fair and just. Planning for others to have a good impression of her.
(Silavin: Although this isn’t mentioned in the novel, Lan Chudie had this planned as her redemption act for Yang Kai. Since it actually serves no real benefits, Yang Kai naturally does not take it into consideration and would still remember her earlier actions.)
How would Yang Kai not know her own thoughts? The boy impolitely nodded and said, “Since Female apprentice had said so, then I will be the first to choose.”
Yang Kai conveniently took up one stone baby and retreated back.
Lan Chudie and the others also went up and chose based on their individual’s strength.
“Since we have all chosen our Martial Skill, we will each find a place to cultivate the Martial Skill first. After one day’s time, we will gather here again.” Lan Chudie told everyone.
Everyone nods and was about to leave to their respective places.
Du Yishuang, who was a little worried for Yang Kai tapped on his shoulder and said “Yang Kai, let me help0 to wrap up those wounds.”
Yang Kai did not decline, “Thank you”.
Lan Chudie departs after hearing the two’s conversation. Her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled as she walked off.
Since Du Yishuang needed to bandage up Yang Kai’s wounds, there was only Du Yishuang and Yang Kai left at the meeting location. “I’ll wait a while for you to check the stone baby for the Martial Skills. If you don’t find it useful, I don’t mind exchanging mine with yours. I don’t really need an Earth Grade Martial Skill.”
(Silavin: Yang Kai ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ))
Yang Kai smiled, “there’s no need. Since this is an Earth Grade Martial Skill, anything that came out will definitely be good.”
“Well, aren’t you aloof?” Du Yishuang no longer pressed the issue. Once she bandaged up Yang Kai’s hands, she stood up, “I will go and cultivate my Martial Skills then. We will meet again tomorrow!”
Looking at her back, Yang Kai spoke, “If there are any problems that occur in the future, you know that I will probably leave the group.”
Du Yishuang did not reply but secretly in her heart, she said, I know…
This group was not united. All members only participated in this group due to the unknown dangers inside a Heaven Cave Inheritance. What’s more, Lan Chudie is not a great leader. She is able to maintain the group in face value but for someone who only considers success and failure, the welfare of the group would not really matter to her. Hence, more than a group, we are mere tools for her to use. Even if this group were to continue, once they were to face a great danger, Yang Kai expects Lan Chudie and most of the rest to abandon him.
After everyone left, Yang Kai moved to a secluded location and took out the two stone babies from his clothe.
Yang Kai looked at both stone babies in his hands and smiled. The stone baby he found was extremely different from the one he chose from the group. The veins in the special stone baby were not only a lot more than the one he received from the group, it was also golden in colour!
What rank is this Martial Skill? Yang Kai wondered.
According to Lan Chudie, 30 veins would mean that the Martial Skill was at least an Earth Middle-Grade Martial Skill. Thus, the Martial Skill within this special stone baby could be either an Earth High-Grade Martial Skill or a much higher grade! A higher grade would mean a Heaven Grade Martial Skill!
When Yang Kai had thought of the possibility; his breathing became heavy and ragged. He was right to take that risk early on. The risk was truly worth its rewards!
However, which one to cultivate first? Yang Kai wondered.
The higher grade Martial Skill that he got with him will require more time than the other Martial Skill. That would also mean that it would take more time for Yang Kai to cultivate, learn and practice the higher grade Martial Skill. With the time limit of one day, he may not have enough time…
Yang Kai’s vision turned to the lower grade Martial Skill. Currently, the most important thing is to increase one’s strength in the shortest time possible to increase a person’s survival chances while having more opportunities to find more treasures.
Yang Kai started to concentrate on the lower grade Martial Skill. He poured his Yuan Qi into the stone baby as he memorized the flow of the Yuan Qi of the Martial Skill. After 2 hours, Yang Kai completely memories the flow of Yuan Qi to activate the Martial Skill but when he opened his eyes, he saw that the stone baby had completely turned to dust.
Yand Kai was not too bothered about the destruction of the stone baby. He had already gotten what he wanted. However, now he knew that the stone babies will only allow one person to learn its Martial Skill before turning to dust.
Yang Kai stood up and revolved his Qi around his body; similar to what he learned from the stone baby. As expected, since this was only the first time practicing a Martial Skill, he was unable to utilize the Martial Skill that he had learned. However, he was not discouraged as he immediately tried again after his first failed attempt.
After a few more tries, Yang Kai gradually got used to the flow of his Yuan Qi, within his 30 Meridians. He could feel his fist gradually becoming more powerful.
Finally, Yang Kai felt confident and focused all his might on an attack with this Martial Skill. He clenched his fist and it vibrated vigorously. Yang Kai continued to focus, trying to reach the most powerful state the fist can be. Suddenly, he slams his fist onto the ground!
*Bang!* a sound of a huge explosion occurred as the ground seemed the experience a miniature explosion. Yang Kai’s vision shivers as he could not believe the power of this Martial Skill!
What kind of Martial Skill is this? Isn’t this too powerful?

LOL, thanks for the support.
Why did you call me brat though? D:
Thank you for picking this up
No problems
Hey Silavin !
Before anything is said i do really appreciate you picking up Martial Peak and i understand that translating is really hard so i will thank you as much as i can in every chapter but now comes the part were i have to be frank with you :
Ofc this is my personnal opinion and i’m sorry is this sound rude but i rather tell the truth cold and hard than a little lie so :
The fact that you leave your little comments in between paragraphs in all the chapters is absolutly horrible ! It totally disrupts the flow of the novel and of the chapter. I’m reading and getting really into the universe of the novel just to get interrupted by one of your comments even though you want to interract with us by using this comments but it’s just destroys the flow of the novel and get even more annoying and making me mad because of that.
A possible solution : If you feel like leaving comments and tell us what you think that’s amazing and it would be cool but don’t put your comments in the middle of a chapter. Instead put some litle number like all the other translators do so we can click on them and it brings us all the way down at the end of the chapter where we will be able to read your comments. All translators do this when they want to explain some hard part about translating this paragraphs. By doing it this way you won’t interrupt the reading flow of the chapter.
Just imagine reading the whole translated book with your comments in the middle of evry chapter, it will completly destroy the flow of novel and make it unreadable.
That’s all i had to say and i hope i didn’t make you mad, i really DO appreciate your translations and i’m really thankfull for it. It was just that your little comments really do disrupts the novel and make it worse when this novel is really good.
Hmmm. I see. Might as well not put any then
Love your translation especially the side comments keep up The great work👍
LOL. Thanks. but, I think I’m going to stop putting those comments after chapter 137.
No, as i said your comments are cool and funny to read but not in the middle of the chapter.
Just put some side notes or redirecting small number to the end of the page. This way when we finish your chapter we can then enjoy some witty comments from your parts 😉
Please do not feel down from what i said, you can and HAVE the right to make some comments and interact with us, it’s actually really cool and brings us, readers, closer to you the translator.
Don’t stop, just do it at the end of the chapter and enjoy yourself by commenting. This is not a job for you but a passion so don’t stop from expressing yourself and having fun writing the chapters too !
I want to read your comments, they’re cool and funny but at the end of the chapters not in the middle so please keep on having fun and commenting !!!
I thank you for your concern. You don’t have to be worried about it. I was well aware that my comments will disrupt the flow of the story when I did this.
The thing is, these comments just appear while I am thinking and translating. If it disturb readers too much, I might as well not go through all the trouble to include them in the first place.
You don’t have to feel guilty about it. I may still continue commenting just on certain parts of the story that isn’t so exciting. So, I’ll try to be more aware of the flow of the story.
Thanks so much for the chapters!!!
Side comments are nice too ;p;p
Glad you actually liked them. But, I don’t think I will keep them soon.
Thanks for all the chapters !!
I wish you a very nice holiday ! See you soon
Thanks 😀
thank you for translating this
Yang Kai punched landed
Me worked enough I guess today. And nothing really stabbed my eyes.
Yeah. Thanks for the hard work. Sorry, posting out so much for you to take in one day. But at least you get to enjoy reading all at once XD!
Thaaaaanx
Wellllccccome!
Thanks for the chapter Silavin! If memorizing it is good enough he should just learn the other one too so that there is no evidence on his body of having obtained anything else.
That’s true but it takes time to memorize. He rather practice more on one skill than memorize the other. Of course, that also due to the confidence that the others won’t search him.
Thanks for Translating!
“After 2 hours, Yang Kai completely memories the flow of Yuan Qi”
perhaps “memorized” 🙂
