Chapter 164: Born Divine Strength

Chapter 164: Born Divine Strength

In the wooden shed at the training ground.

Wang Jin was utterly astonished as he looked at Jiang Ning.

"Superior Constitution?" Upon hearing these words, Yu Yuan, the head of Shen Wei Wuguan, also turned to look over.

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat, feeling slightly surprised.

Has my constitution already become superior?

But indeed, there was nothing wrong with it.

Whether it was the white dragon fish that was almost demonically transformed or the Tiger Pup Transformation Body Pill, they were all great medicinal remedies for enhancing one's constitution.

Innate constitution, modified by acquired means.

Now that it's only a superior constitution, it's not surprising.

Above superior, there's still supreme, and even higher evaluations.

Jiang Ning thought to himself, silently speaking to himself.

At this moment, Wang Jin also retracted his right hand, "No wonder you've made such remarkable progress, kid. Transforming an ordinary constitution into a superior one, you must have acquired many good things these past few months!"

"Master speaks the truth! I've indeed been quite lucky these months!" Jiang Ning nodded, acknowledging it calmly.

At this moment, everyone around them looked at Jiang Ning with envious eyes.

In the first four realms of Martial Dao, constitution plays a significant role.

With a strong constitution, the growth of qi and blood is rapid, and entering the Ninth Stage becomes exceptionally fast.

After the Ninth Stage, the efficiency of external cultivation of skin membranes, muscles, and tendons and bones will be extremely high.

Each step will far surpass the speed of ordinary warriors.

In this way, one can reach the Inner Fortitude Realm within twenty years of the Golden Qi Full period, internally cultivating the five viscera and six bowels, enhancing the body's functions, and thus having the capital to continue on the path of Martial Dao.

Therefore, in the pursuit of Martial Dao, the importance of constitution is beyond doubt.

This is also why, when recruiting disciples, so-called masters pay great attention to their constitutions.

Without an exceptional constitution, ordinary people can never stand out on the path of Martial Dao.

Even with hard work and effort, without good fortune, it's impossible to excel.

Because the Golden Qi Full period for martial arts training is still less than twenty years, and as age increases, due to different physical conditions, the body's functions will also decline, and the qi and blood will weaken.

Once entering the state of decline from prosperity, without great opportunities and good fortune, one can only look up to the sky and sigh helplessly!

For this very reason, standing out through effort alone is impossible.

Only after passing through the four realms of external cultivation and beginning internal cultivation can one prolong the body's functions, extend one's lifespan, and continue on the path of Martial Dao.

In the wooden shed.

"Damn it!" Zhao Hu's heart burned with jealousy upon hearing these words, "I wonder how many good things Shen Congyun has given this kid, allowing him to transform into a superior constitution."

Beside him, Yu Yuan's eyes shone with envy.

"A superior constitution, even better than mine. Your disciple's future is limitless!"

Hearing Yu Yuan's words, Wang Jin couldn't help but laugh, feeling very proud.

He wasn't this happy when praised by others because of their different statuses.

But Yu Yuan was different.

As the head of Shen Wei Wuguan, Yu Yuan was a formidable opponent, and they were of the same caliber.

Moreover, Yu Yuan, like Wang Jin, was also the head of a martial arts school, teaching disciples.

Naturally, Yu Yuan's praise was very well-received.

Just then.

Silence—

A voice, like a wave, echoed from the highest platform in the training ground, spreading to the surroundings.

In an instant.

The dust on the ground trembled slightly, and everyone in the training ground immediately fell silent, looking at the platform in shock.

At this moment, Hong Minghu had risen from his seat.

He scanned the entire venue with his eyes and then slowly spoke, "The first phase of the assessment is over. The second phase is the arena battle!"

"Did you see that?" As he spoke, Hong Minghu pointed towards the three large arenas in the southeast direction of the training ground.

Then he continued, "Ten people on each arena, five will be eliminated, and the rest can enter the Inspection Bureau! Besides, there are no taboos!"

As his words fell, Hong Minghu slowly sat down.

At this moment, the most surprised person was not the crowd below but Gong Sun Yu, the third elder of Yao Wang Valley, who was beside Hong Minghu.

"Hong Minghu actually possesses such profound inner breath?!"

Hong Minghu turned towards him with a faint smile, "Do you still want to fight me?"

"Brother Hong is joking!" Gong Sun Yu immediately smiled, "Attacking a court official, isn't that an act of rebellion?"

"As long as you know!" Hong Minghu glanced at Gong Sun Yu and then looked at the training ground.

In the training ground.

Everyone was astonished upon hearing these words.

"So carefree?" Yu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"Indeed!" Wang Jin nodded, agreeing.

Then he added, "But I've heard that Hong Minghu doesn't pay attention to small details, and this fits his style."

Yu Yuan immediately took over the conversation, "So, we can bring people into the Inspection Bureau! As long as there's a powerful protector, the chances of passing the assessment will greatly increase!"

"That's right!" Wang Jin nodded slightly.

Then he turned to look at Jiang Ning and the others.

"You all understand the rules, right?"

"Yes, we do!" Zhou Xing was the first to respond.

Jiang Ning and the other two also nodded.

Wang Jin said, "You four can go up together later and help each other out."

"If you have the strength, you can help others too!" As he said this, Wang Jin looked at Zhou Xing and Jiang Ning.

The two Eighth Stage Warriors were among the top few in the group of examinees, excluding the Wu Yuan disciples from Dongling City.

In Wang Jin's opinion, if Jiang Ning and Zhou Xing were willing to lend a hand, then it wouldn't be difficult for the remaining two to pass the assessment through the sparring matches.

Hearing this, Zhou Xing nodded repeatedly.

"You don't need to tell me, I would do the same! As fellow disciples, we should help each other!"

"Is that so, Jiang Shidi?" Zhou Xing turned to Jiang Ning as he said the last two sentences.

Jiang Ning smiled ambiguously, then said, "Zhou Shixiong does have a point!"

At this moment—

Yu Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Wang Guanzhu, my disciples will go up first."

As his voice fell, the Shen Wei Wuguan group in the same wooden shed immediately stood up and headed towards the sparring platform.

"Jiang Shidi, why don't we go over too?" Zhou Xing asked Jiang Ning.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

A moment later.

Jiang Ning and the others arrived below the sparring platform in the southeast direction.

The three major sparring platforms had already begun.

On each platform, ten people were fiercely fighting in the arena.

"Jiang Shidi, five out of ten isn't difficult. How about we join forces later?" Zhou Xing observed the battle on the platform and then spoke to Jiang Ning.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Just then—

Zhao Hu suddenly spoke up, "Zhou Xing Shixiong, I have an appointment with others, so I won't go up with you."

After saying this, before Zhou Xing could respond, Zhao Hu hurriedly left.

Zhou Xing watched Zhao Hu's departing figure and shook his head.

"Never mind! If Zhao Hu Shixiong has reservations, then let him be!"

As he said this, Zhou Xing's gaze briefly glanced at Jiang Ning.

He had witnessed the minor conflict between Zhao Hu and Jiang Ning on the road, so he naturally knew what Zhao Hu was wary of.

It was clear that Zhao Hu was worried that if he went up with Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning would secretly attack him and cause him to fall from the platform.

This concern seemed reasonable to Zhou Xing as well.

After all, this opportunity was like a dragon gate for someone like Zhao Hu, who came from a common background, and missing it would mean losing a chance to transcend his class.

At the same time.

Jiang Ning watched Zhao Hu's hurried departure.

"He's running pretty fast!" he thought to himself,

If they were on the same platform, he wouldn't mind using some underhanded means to send Zhao Hu off the platform.

Now that Zhao Hu had left, this matter could only be put aside for now.

Soon.

One of the platforms had already concluded.

Five people were knocked off, leaving only five on the platform, indicating that these five had become members of the Xun Chao Fu.

Looking at these five, envy filled the eyes of the crowd below.

At the same time.

Below the platform, where the Wu Yuan disciples were.

"Brother Liu, shall we go up?" A young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, holding a long sword adorned with gold and jade, spoke to Liu Sansheng.

"No!" Liu Sansheng shook his head.

"Why?" The young man with sword-like eyebrows asked.

Liu Sansheng said, "Because He Jinyun is going up!"

Hearing these three words, the young man gasped in surprise.

"Hiss—"

"He Jinyun is going up now? Then let's wait a bit!"

The young man's words revealed a sense of retreat.

At this moment, Liu Sansheng also nodded slightly, "He Jinyun is known for his innate divine strength. I don't need to clash with him head-on right now."

"Brother Liu is right!" Another young man beside him spoke up, "With innate divine strength, he has the advantage in the Eighth Stage. There won't be such an advantage later on! Brother Liu doesn't need to compete with him at this time."

"Compete with him? Are you worthy?" Suddenly, a cold hum came from behind.

The group turned around and saw a thin, yellow-skinned man walking towards them, and they couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension.

Because this man was He Jinyun, the one they called the innate divine strength possessor.

He was also known as the number one Eighth Stage warrior among the Wu Yuan students here.

Hearing the ridicule in He Jinyun's words, Liu Sansheng's face turned slightly gloomy.

"He Jinyun, don't be arrogant."

"What's wrong with being arrogant?" He Jinyun revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth as he smiled at Liu Sansheng, "I can't stand people like you! If you don't like it, come up to the platform and have a fair fight with me!"

As his voice fell, He Jinyun walked past them with his group, heading towards the empty platform.

As He Jinyun's departing figure grew distant, Liu Sansheng's face turned pale, then green, then white again.

He knew that even though he had already stepped into the Eighth Rank Divine Strength Realm and had some reputation in Wu Yuan Academy, it was merely due to his age.

In terms of talent and natural ability, he was no match for He Jinyun.

Liu Sansheng was approaching thirty years old, while He Jinyun was only in his early twenties.

When it came to strength, although they were both Eighth Rank Martial Artists, He Jinyun had only recently entered this realm and was far less experienced than Liu Sansheng.

However, with his innate divine strength, Liu Sansheng knew he was no match for He Jinyun at this moment.

As for status?

The Liu family, when compared to all of Dongling City, was merely an ordinary family that had just established its roots in the city.

On the other hand, the He family was a fourth-rank count family. Even if it was a declining count's mansion, it was still far superior to the Liu family.

Even though He Jinyun was the youngest son of the current count's mansion, compared to Liu Sansheng, the eldest son of the Liu family, he could still trample on Liu Sansheng's face, and his father would have to go and apologize for the offense.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Seeing an empty fighting stage, Zhou Xing immediately exclaimed, "Let's go up there, Brother He!"

"Not yet, wait a bit longer!" Jiang Ning raised his hand to stop Zhou Xing, who was itching to go.

"Why?" Zhou Xing looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

Jiang Ning glanced at the crowd in the distance, which was starting to stir.

The conversations among the Wu Yuan Academy students had been picked up by his powerful auditory system and entered his ears.

The Wu Yuan Academy students were the group he had been paying the most attention to today.

These students from Dongling City's Wu Yuan Academy came from a prestigious and deeply rooted background.

They were either exceptionally talented or from influential families.

Whether it was resources or vision, they far surpassed the so-called Heaven's Pride of Luoshui County.

Undoubtedly, their strength was far superior to the self-proclaimed Heaven's Pride of Luoshui County.

In Luoshui County, Shi Shiyuan, an Eighth Rank Martial Artist, could control the vast Green Snake Gang. This indicated that the martial prowess in Luoshui County was not particularly high.

Under such circumstances, even someone like Zhou Xing, a so-called Qilinzi, who was willing to do anything for the opportunity of the Inspection Bureau, would likely only reach the Eighth Rank in Martial Arts.

However, Dongling City was different. It was a prefecture city, not a county town.

Families that could establish themselves in a prefecture city undoubtedly had far greater influence and wealth than those in a county town, not to mention other resources and connections.

Therefore, there were naturally many more powerful martial artists in the prefecture city than in the county town.

In Jiang Ning's eyes, it wouldn't be surprising if a Seventh Rank Warrior emerged from among these Wu Yuan Academy students.

For this reason, he had been paying close attention to the conversations about the Wu Yuan Academy disciples and had overheard Liu Sansheng's remarks.

He also remembered the name He Jinyun.

Because of those four words.

Born Divine Strength!

With this in mind, Jiang Ning said, "Senior Brother Zhou, the Wu Yuan Academy students are about to take the stage. Why don't we watch them first?"

"Wu Yuan Academy students?" Zhou Xing's expression changed, and he was taken aback. "Let's listen to Junior Brother Jiang and see what these Wu Yuan Academy disciples are capable of."

After a few breaths...

A few people had just stepped onto the stage.

The next moment...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five people instantly leaped from the crowd, covering a distance of several zhang, and landed on the fighting stage.

"Are these the Wu Yuan Academy students you mentioned, Junior Brother Jiang?" Zhou Xing asked in a low voice.

"Mhm!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Zhou Xing said, "They look ordinary, especially that pale and thin guy. He doesn't look like a martial artist at all; he looks more like a wastrel!"

Jiang Ning shook his head slowly and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, you can't judge a book by its cover."

At this moment, Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the five people.

He only knew that among these five, there was an Eighth Rank Heaven's Pride with innate divine strength.

But he couldn't identify who it was.

Because just a moment ago, he had only heard their voices without seeing their faces.

Right at that moment...

The pale and thin man spoke to the host, "Hurry up! Don't waste time with the checks! I'm in a hurry to get back and rest!"

It was him!

Hearing this voice, Jiang Ning instantly identified the pale and thin man as He Jinyun.

The consistent tone of voice also confirmed that this person was the one Liu Sansheng had mentioned, the Heaven's Pride with innate divine strength.

Jiang Ning took another look at He Jinyun and couldn't help but think to himself, "This is completely unexpected!"

Such an appearance and physique, yet he had innate divine strength?

At this time, the host on the fighting stage didn't seem bothered by He Jinyun's urging.

"Young Master, we can't rush. We need to verify each person's identity one by one!"

"Hurry up! I'm busy and need to get back to rest!" He Jinyun said lazily.

"No problem, Young Master!" The host replied.
