#68 - Chapter 68 Jin Ying

To be honest, those who sparred with Cheng Feng were all newly joined disciples from various martial arts schools, not of a high level.

Cheng Feng's performance was also impeccable, showing complete courtesy, leaving no room for dissatisfaction.

In terms of strength, the three schools were basically at the Skin Refinement realm, possessing considerable power and a proficient mastery of various martial arts techniques.

However, any opponent at the Skin Refinement realm was too slow in Cheng Feng's eyes.

Cheng Feng was deliberately suppressing his cultivation to fight them.

He even took two blows head-on to allow those disciples to showcase themselves properly.

The girl from Reflecting Moon Martial Arts School was beautiful, so he naturally had to cooperate a bit.

Giving each other face, Cheng Feng secured three easy victories, prompting loud cheers of his name from the disciples below.

The elders of each school were also very satisfied with their disciples' martial arts display.

One should seek fame at a young age.

Wang Tieshan had previously explained to Cheng Feng that the martial world was a stage for fame and fortune, and such occasions were to be expected.

In fact, the martial arts schools had already decided on the disciples and their levels before coming.

Officially, they claimed it was to witness Cheng Feng's strength.

Everyone carries the sedan chair for each other.

The other schools' disciples gained fame, and Cheng Feng's reputation also spread rapidly among the disciples.

The disciples of each martial arts school now knew that Cheng Feng, the closed-door disciple of Iron Mountain Martial Arts School, was not to be trifled with.

They silently noted him in their minds.

The people from the three major families and four major gangs also added Cheng Feng to their list of people to avoid.

Many came to congratulate Cheng Feng, and some even inquired about his marital status.

Seeing the people revolving around Cheng Feng, he naturally wouldn't put on a cold face.

Looking at his senior sisters and brothers, he finally understood some of the relationships.

Senior Sister Zhao Wei and Second Senior Brother Zhang Hu stood side by side, holding their swords.

Third Senior Brother Qian Feng and Fourth Senior Sister Tian Shuang stood together, whispering to each other.

Eighth Senior Sister Jin Ying and Ninth Senior Brother Zhang Zhuo stood together, with mutual displeasure evident on their faces.

Cheng Feng was not familiar with the relationships of the first few, only with Zhang Zhuo.

He cupped his fist in greeting to the first few and went to Zhang Zhuo, asking, "Ninth Senior Brother, what's wrong? You don't look too good."

Zhang Zhuo smiled and said, "No, you must be mistaken, Junior Brother."

Zhang Zhuo had just had some argument with Jin Ying. Jin Ying's family was in the iron ore business and wanted to arrange a marriage with the Zhang family.

The target was Zhang Zhuo, but as the second son of the Zhang family, he couldn't openly refuse, so he could only say that he was devoted to martial arts.

This naturally displeased Jin Ying, but only those within the family knew the situation.

This matter was a unilateral action by the family and had nothing to do with him.

It was just that the Jin family was currently facing some problems and couldn't openly proceed with the marriage, fearing that it would attract the Zhang family's covetousness.

They could only hope that Jin Ying would bring back a wealthy son-in-law, calling it love between the young couple.

Jin Ying had also prepared to sacrifice herself for the family.

However, Zhang Zhuo disagreed. The eldest son of the Zhang family was already engaged.

What to do?

The Jin family sent Jin Ying to the martial arts school not to focus on learning martial arts, but to use her beauty to hook a wealthy son-in-law.

But who would have thought that after three years at the martial arts school, Jin Ying's cultivation had improved a lot, but she hadn't accumulated any connections.

This worried the Jin family elders, so they cut off Jin Ying's supplies.

They forcibly brought Jin Ying back to the family.

Jin Ying, who was 18 years old this year, was only one year older than Cheng Feng.

She had an outstanding figure, delicate features, and a palm-sized face full of sorrow.

Reaching the Skin Refinement realm was good, but it couldn't solve the Jin family's crisis at all. Her father had said that she needed to be at least at the Blood Refinement realm.

The First Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother in the martial arts school had a good relationship. They had been adopted by the master since childhood and were a childhood sweetheart couple who would inevitably become a couple in the future.

The relationship between Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister had recently progressed rapidly, and it seemed that they would also get married.

The first four senior brothers and sisters had already reached the Blood Refinement realm, but each of them was indispensable to the martial arts school.

Jin Ying believed that as long as she spoke up, her senior brothers and sisters would definitely help, but if the news leaked out, the Jin family's business would definitely plummet.

Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Senior Brothers had already fallen.

Only Zhang Zhuo, the Ninth Junior Brother who was the same age as her, had family support.

His own strength was at the peak of Skin Refinement and he was about to reach Blood Refinement.

Perhaps using herself as a condition might help her.

But she had just rejected herself.

Looking around, in the lively crowd, she seemed like a lonely little beast, everyone would extend hidden claws to attack her family.

The competition for benefits was like the killing of beasts in the forest, full of dangers, leaving no room for retreat.

According to Jin Ying's family head, her father, once the Jin family's news was leaked, the Jin family was likely to face a disaster.

At that time, no one in the Jin family could escape, no one could escape.

Until today's protagonist, the master's closed-door disciple, walked over.

Seeing Cheng Feng, who was not red-faced or out of breath after the competition, come to greet Zhang Zhuo, Jin Ying naturally paid attention to this youngest junior brother.

Tall, handsome, and with an extraordinary temperament.

This was Jin Ying's first evaluation of Cheng Feng.

Unfortunately, Jin Ying had also inquired about Cheng Feng's background.

Ordinary background, no support, it was not easy to reach this step in the Skin Refinement realm alone.

It was just that his aptitude was better, and he was favored by Master Wang Tieshan, so he was accepted as a closed-door disciple.

What's the use of being good-looking?

He couldn't help her family. Jin Ying had to put on a smile and perfunctorily greeted him.

Cheng Feng greeted this Eighth Senior Sister and went to find his master.

Looking at this disciple who performed so well, Wang Tieshan was very happy.

Cheng Feng had taken the previous advice to heart.

Today's scene was also handled appropriately.

The martial world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.

If you have strength, you naturally won't band together for warmth. It's normal not to give face.

But if you don't have strength and are still arrogant, then you're just courting death.

Cheng Feng's talent was a bit strange.

After reaching Blood Refinement, Wang Tieshan began to teach Cheng Feng the inner sect's Blood Refinement techniques, the Thunderous Blood Bursting Art.

Upon entering the Blood Refinement level, one could be considered a mid-to-high-level member of the major forces.

Viscera Refinement experts were rarely seen.

Bone Refinement experts were basically the leaders of the major forces.

Even so, in the entire Qingxi County, the three major families, four major gangs, six martial arts schools, plus the government, it was uncertain whether they could gather ten Bone Refinement realm experts!

Each family hid their top combat power, unwilling to reveal even a bit.

The Blood Refinement secrets were different from the breathing exercises and techniques that could train strength and skin.

Blood Refinement was a different stage. In this realm, the more advanced the circulation of blood energy, the faster the circulation, and the more impurities removed from the blood.

This was the result of predecessors gradually understanding, experimenting, and summarizing.

How many people sacrificed their lives in the process, how many people went forward one after another, painstakingly to obtain a high-level technique.

It can be said that behind every brilliant technique, countless families and forces will verify and strengthen it, and designate it as a force's inheritance.

Over tens of thousands of years, there will always be some geniuses who will improve it and pass it on, evolving into the current martial arts.

Without the guidance of predecessors, if you pick up a martial art and practice it yourself, you will basically have problems and end up ruining yourself.

It was only after entering the martial arts school and chatting with his senior brothers that Cheng Feng realized that you should never try new martial arts without enough precipitation.

It was because he had a panel that Cheng Feng could dabble in it.

After entering the Blood Refinement realm, Wang Tieshan passed on a Blood Refinement realm technique called the Thunderous Blood Bursting Art, and after letting Cheng Feng choose, he chose the compatible Thunderous Saber Technique.

Cheng Feng asked Wang Tieshan not to mention these things.

Wait until he learned it before talking about it.

The intention to protect his life was evident on paper.

Wang Tieshan naturally had no objection. He also wanted Cheng Feng to be an ordinary disciple.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind.

Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth were lost that way.

Even if Wang Tieshan later avenged them, the people couldn't come back to life, could they?

So later, Wang Tieshan tried to accept some family disciples as disciples.

Just so that his inheritance wouldn't be cut off.

It's like rich people having more children.

The more children there are, the higher the possibility of success.

Unfortunately, these two geniuses began to practice the Blood Refinement technique and the Thunderous Saber Technique these two days.

They didn't want to know anything about the meaning behind it.

What could they do if they knew? They still had to practice hard.

As long as Cheng Feng worked hard and added points, that would be great.

Unfortunately, his kidneys were a little tired recently, so Cheng Feng gave himself a few more days off.

Money, cars, and tickets will come slowly.

Cheng Feng said that time was on his side.

Jin Ying stood quietly in place, her eyes fixed on Cheng Feng's receding figure, pondering to herself.

This new disciple was so loved by the master, which made Jin Ying feel jealous, but also realized the potential threat.

The Jin family's crisis was emerging, and her identity in the martial arts school was also her life-saving charm.

No, for the glory of the Jin family, and to protect her family, she must find other opportunities…"

Thinking of this, Jin Ying's eyes became firmer. She knew that the road ahead was difficult, but for the sake of her family and loved ones, she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
