Chapter 164: Heavenly Born Divine Strength

Chapter 164: Heavenly Born Divine Strength

In the wooden shed at the training ground.

Wang Jin stared at Jiang Ning in utter astonishment.

"Superior constitution?" Upon hearing these words, Yu Yuan, the master of Shen Wei Wuguan (Divine Might Martial Academy) standing nearby, also turned to look over with sudden interest.

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat at these words.

Had his constitution already transformed into a superior one?

But indeed, there was nothing wrong with that.

Whether it was the nearly demon-like White Dragon Fish or the Panther Embryo Transformation Body Pill, they were all powerful medicines that enhanced one's constitution.

An innate constitution, altered through acquired means.

It was not surprising that it had become a superior constitution now.

Above superior, there were still superior-grade and even higher evaluations.

Jiang Ning's mind wandered to these thoughts.

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's words are true! I've indeed been lucky these months!" Jiang Ning nodded, acknowledging it candidly.

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

"It's no wonder," Wang Jin continued, "In the first four stages of external cultivation, the constitution plays a dominant role. With a robust constitution and rapid growth of Qi and blood, one can advance to the Ninth Stage exceptionally fast."

"After reaching the Ninth Stage, the efficiency of refining the skin, muscles, and bones in external cultivation will be extremely high. Each step will surpass the speed of ordinary martial artists."

"In this way, one can achieve the Inner Fortification Realm within less than twenty years of the Golden Age, then proceed to internal cultivation, refining the five organs and six entrails, enhancing the body's functions, and thus having the capital to continue on the martial path."

Therefore, the importance of constitution in the martial journey is beyond doubt.

This is why, when so-called masters take on disciples, they all place great importance on the constitution.

Without an exceptional constitution, it's impossible for an ordinary person to stand out on the martial path.

No matter how hard one works or how diligently they cultivate, without good fortune, standing out is impossible.

As the Golden Age of cultivation is less than twenty years, with age, the body's condition varies, leading to different physical states, some declining earlier, with Qi and blood weakening.

Once entering the phase of decline, without great opportunities and good fortune, one can only sigh helplessly to the heavens.

For this very reason, standing out solely through hard work is impossible.

After traversing the four stages of external cultivation, one begins internal cultivation, refining the body's functions, prolonging life, and continuing on the martial path.

In the wooden shed.

"Damn!" Zhao Hu, upon hearing these words, felt envious, "I wonder how many good things Shen Congyun has given this kid, allowing his constitution to transform into a superior one."

Beside him, Yu Yuan, the master of Shen Wei Wuguan, also showed a hint of envy for the first time.

"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 rather proud.

He wasn't this pleased when others praised him, due to their different statuses.

But Yu Yuan was different.

As the master of Shen Wei Wuguan, Yu Yuan had been his peer and competitor, belonging to the same level.

Moreover, like Wang Jin, Yu Yuan was also a master of a martial arts academy, instructing disciples.

Naturally, Yu Yuan's praise was quite flattering.

Just then, a voice as calm as the ocean waves emanated from the highest platform in the training ground, spreading throughout the area.

In an instant, the ground trembled slightly, and everyone in the training ground 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 a platform battle!"

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

Then he continued, "Ten on each platform, five will remain, the rest can enter the Inspection Office! No restrictions!"

As his words fell, Hong Minghu slowly sat down.

At this moment, the one most surprised was not the crowd below but Gongsun Yu, the Third Elder of Medicine King Valley, sitting beside Hong Minghu.

"Hong Minghu possesses such profound Inner Breath?!"

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

"Brother Hong is just joking!" Gongsun Yu immediately smiled, "Attacking a court official is an act of rebellion."

"As long as you know," Hong Minghu glanced at Gongsun Yu and then looked out at the training ground.

In the training ground.

Hearing these words, everyone was astonished.

"So carefree?" Yu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"Indeed carefree!" Wang Jin nodded in agreement.

Then he added, "But it's said that Hong Minghu doesn't pay attention to minor details, which fits his style."

Yu Yuan took over the conversation, "In that case, we can bring people into the Inspection Office! With a strong protector, the chances of success increase!"

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

Then, he turned his gaze towards 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 in agreement.

Wang Jin said, "In a moment, you four can go up together and help each other out."

As he said these words, Wang Jin looked at Zhou Xing and Jiang Ning.

"There's no need for Master to say it, I would do the same! As fellow disciples, we should help each other!" Zhou Xing exclaimed.

"You think so, Jiang Shidi?" Zhou Xing turned to Jiang Ning as he spoke the last two sentences.

Jiang Ning smiled ambiguously, neither confirming nor denying, and then said, "Zhou Shixiong does have a point!"

At that moment—

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

As his voice fell, the people from Shen Wei Martial Academy in the same wooden shed immediately stood up and headed towards the fighting stage.

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

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

A moment later—

Jiang Ning and the others arrived at the fighting stage in the southeast direction.

The three fighting stages had already begun.

On each stage, ten people were engaged in intense combat.

"Jiang Shidi, eliminating five out of ten isn't difficult. How about we work together?" Zhou Xing observed the situation on the stage 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 be going up with you."

Before Zhou Xing could respond, Zhao Hu hurriedly left.

Zhou Xing watched Zhao Hu's departing figure and couldn't help but shake his head.

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

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

Having witnessed the minor conflict between Zhao Hu and Jiang Ning on the way here, he naturally understood Zhao Hu's concerns.

It was clear that Zhao Hu was worried about Jiang Ning secretly attacking him if they went up together, causing him to fall from the stage.

Zhou Xing also found this concern quite reasonable.

After all, this opportunity was like a dragon gate for someone like Zhao Hu, who came from a commoner background.

If he missed it, Zhao Hu would lose the chance to transcend his class.

At the same time—

Jiang Ning watched Zhao Hu's hurriedly departing figure.

"He sure runs fast!" he thought to himself.

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

Now that Zhao Hu had left, this matter could only be put on hold for the time being.

Soon—

One of the fighting stages had already concluded.

Five people were knocked off the stage, leaving only five on the stage, indicating that these five were already members of the Inspection Bureau.

Looking at these five, the crowd below had expressions of envy in their eyes.

At the same time—

Below the fighting stage, where the Martial Academy disciples were gathered—

"Liu Sansheng, shall we go up?" a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, holding a jade-inlaid longsword, spoke to Liu Sansheng.

"No!" Liu Sansheng shook his head.

"Why not?" the young man with the sword-like eyebrows asked.

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

Hearing those three words, the young man gasped in shock.

"Hiss—"

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

The young man with the sword-like eyebrows showed a hint of retreat in his words.

At this moment, Liu Sansheng also nodded slightly, "He Jinyun is known for his Heavenly Born Divine Strength. I don't need to confront him head-on right now."

"Liu Dage is right!" Another young man beside him spoke up, "With his Heavenly Born Divine Strength, he has the advantage at the eighth rank. Later on, he won't have such an advantage! Liu Dage doesn't need to compete with him at this time."

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

They turned around and saw a man with a yellow and skinny face walking towards them, and their faces showed apprehension.

This man was the very He Jinyun they had been talking about, the one with the Heavenly Born Divine Strength.

He was also known as the first among the eighth-rank disciples in the Martial Academy.

Hearing the mocking tone in He Jinyun's words, Liu Sansheng's face turned slightly grim.

"He Jinyun, don't be so arrogant."

"What's wrong with being arrogant?" He Jinyun revealed his yellow teeth and smiled at Liu Sansheng, "I can't stand people like you! If you don't like me, you can come up on the stage and have a fair fight with me!"

As his voice fell, He Jinyun walked past them with a few others, heading towards the empty stage.

Gazing at He Jin Yun's departing figure, Liu Sansheng's face turned pale with rage.

He knew that even though he had already entered the Eighth Stage Divine Strength Realm and gained some reputation in the Canglang Martial Academy, it was merely due to his age.

In terms of innate talent and abilities, he was no match for He Jin Yun.

Liu Sansheng was approaching thirty, while He Jin Yun was barely over twenty.

Regarding strength, although both were Eighth Rank Martial Artists, He Jin Yun had only recently entered this realm and lacked the depth of cultivation that Liu Sansheng possessed.

However, with the innate Divine Strength, Liu Sansheng knew he was no match for He Jin Yun.

As for status? Liu Sansheng's Liu family, when compared to the entire Dongling City, was merely an ordinary clan that had just established roots in the city.

On the other hand, the He family held the title of Fourth Rank Count, and even in their decline, they far surpassed the Liu family.

Even though He Jin Yun was the youngest son of the current Count, 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 apologize.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A fighting platform had just been vacated.

Zhou Xing immediately spoke up, "Jiang Shidi, let's go up together!"

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer!" Jiang Ning raised his hand to stop Zhou Xing, who was itching to move.

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

Jiang Ning turned to observe the commotion in the distance.

The conversations among the Canglang Martial Academy students had reached his ears through his powerful auditory system.

The Canglang Martial Academy students were the group he had been paying the most attention to today.

These students from Dongling City's Canglang Martial Academy had a proper background and profound martial foundations.

They were either from prestigious families or possessed extraordinary talents.

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

Undoubtedly, their strength was naturally much stronger than those self-proclaimed Heaven's Pride from Luo Water County.

It was common knowledge that in Luo Water County, Shi Xiaoyuan, an Eighth Rank Martial Artist, could control the vast Green Snake Gang, which indicated that the martial prowess in Luo Water County was not particularly high.

In such a situation, the so-called Heaven's Pride, even someone like Zhou Xing, the supposed Qilin Seed, would likely reach their limit at the Eighth Rank if they were willing to pay any price for the opportunity to join the Inspection Office.

Dongling City, however, was a prefecture capital, not just an ordinary city.

Families that could establish themselves in the capital city undoubtedly possessed far greater influence and wealth than those in a county.

Therefore, it was only natural that there would be more powerful martial artists in the capital city than in a county.

In Jiang Ning's eyes, it wouldn't be surprising if a Seventh Rank Martial Artist emerged from this group of Canglang Martial Academy students.

Under these circumstances, Jiang Ning naturally paid close attention to the conversations about the Canglang Academy students, and it was through this that he overheard Liu Sansheng's words.

The name He Jin Yun was deeply etched into Jiang Ning's memory.

Because of those four words.

Innate Divine Strength!

At this thought, Jiang Ning spoke up, "Senior Brother Zhou Xing, the Canglang Academy students are about to take the stage. Why don't we watch them first?"

"Canglang Academy students?" Zhou Xing's expression changed in surprise, and he quickly composed himself.

"Alright!" Zhou Xing nodded, "Then let's follow Jiang Shidi's suggestion and see what these Canglang Academy disciples are capable of."

After a few breaths.

Several people had just stepped onto the stage.

The next moment.

Boom, boom, boom—

In an instant, five figures leaped from the crowd, crossing a distance of several zhang, and landed on the platform.

"Are these five the Canglang Academy disciples you mentioned, Jiang Shidi?" Zhou Xing asked in a low voice.

"Mhm!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Zhou Xing observed them and remarked, "They look ordinary, especially the pale and skinny one. He doesn't look like a martial artist at all; he's more like a sickly weakling!"

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 figures.

He only knew that among them was an Eighth Stage Divine Strength Realm's Heaven's Pride, and he was known for his innate Divine Strength.

But as for who exactly it was, Jiang Ning couldn't identify him.

Because he had only heard his voice without seeing his face before.

Just then.

He Jin Yun, with his pale and skinny appearance, urged the host, "Hurry up! Don't waste time with the checks. This sun is scorching!"

It's him!

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Ning instantly recognized the pale and skinny He Jin Yun.

The matching voice confirmed that this person was indeed the innate Divine Strength user mentioned by Liu Sansheng.

Jiang Ning took another look at He Jin Yun and couldn't help but think to himself.

This was completely unexpected!

Such an appearance and physique possessed innate Divine Strength?

At this moment.

The host on the platform remained calm despite He Jin Yun's impatience.

"Young Master, we can't rush this. We must verify everyone's identity!"

"Hurry up! I need to get back to rest!" He Jin Yun said lazily.

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