The participants from the Thunder clan were a pair of brothers. They were Lei Ji’s sons, and they were slightly older than Long Chen and Suxue. Although they looked like they were in their twenties, they were actually almost forty.0

After reaching the Earthly Martial Realm, due to the increase in strength, lifespans also increased. Once a person reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, they could live up to five hundred years. That was why although they were almost forty, they were still considered the younger generation. The age limit of the Nine Clans Martial Youth Competition was forty.0

A person’s best time to cultivate was before the age of fifty. If one failed to break through the Heavenly Martial Wall to reach the Heavenly Martial Realm before fifty, it would be very difficult to progress. For example, the Eight Sect Elders had been at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage for a very long time, but they had long lost the best opportunity to break through.0
