Chapter 36: Jiang Ning's Assistance
Chapter 36: Jiang Ning's Assistance
Roar!
A beast-like roar suddenly echoed through the battlefield.
Jiang Ning witnessed Xiao Peng entering within Cheng Ran's arm's reach, and as he stomped the ground with his right foot, the force propelled his body towards Cheng Ran's chest.
Boom!
The stone slab beneath his feet instantly cracked, and his body, driven by the counterforce of the stomp, slammed into Cheng Ran's embrace.
Facing this collision, Cheng Ran was like a mad bull, his body forming a parabola as he was thrown towards the wall near Jiang Ning.
At this moment, Jiang Ning was too shocked to react.
If Cheng Ran had truly crashed into the wall, he would be bedridden for at least ten days, or even longer.
Cheng Ran was his closest friend in the entire Canglang Wuguan, and Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. He couldn't bear to see Cheng Ran severely injured after crashing into the wall.
The next moment, Jiang Ning leaped, like a white ape, onto the path of Cheng Ran's trajectory.
He reached out with his right hand, grabbing the satin belt around Cheng Ran's waist, and with a steady lower stance, his entire body seemed to be infused with a unified vigor.
Cheng Ran's flying body immediately changed direction, and Jiang Ning pulled him down from the air.
Jiang Ning's palm then moved to Cheng Ran's back, pushing him upwards like a mighty bear supporting the sky.
A moment later, Cheng Ran landed on the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The onlookers in the distance were already stunned by the fight, their eyes wide and mouths agape.
"Brother Xiao Peng is truly formidable. Blind Man Leaning on Tree is executed with such mastery, beyond our expectations. With just one strike, he secured the victory."
"No wonder he's worthy of being Brother Xiao Peng's direct disciple! Despite being weaker in vital energy, he managed to defeat a stronger opponent. He truly lives up to being Master Wang's true disciple!"
"Indeed! For Brother Xiao Peng to achieve this, he must have reached mastery or minor mastery in Bear Form Fist. That's why he could overpower Cheng Ran, who has perfected his vital energy and circulated it throughout his body."
"That's right! I just learned from their conversation that Brother Xiao Peng's force exceeds four hundred jin, which is slightly less than Cheng Ran's perfected vital energy circulating throughout his body. It seems that Brother Xiao Peng has made progress in his cultivation of Bear Form Fist."
"It seems Brother Xiao Peng's comprehension is truly exceptional."
"Who can deny that? Within four months of apprenticeship, he has achieved mastery in one fist technique, minor mastery in another, and entry-level in a third. His efficiency is unparalleled!"
"Not necessarily! Don't forget about Jiang Ning. On his second day of entry, he reportedly reached the entry-level in Five Forms Concurrent Cultivation, with initial vital energy. And now..."
The speaker's gaze also landed on Jiang Ning, who had just gotten up from the ground.
"Seeing Jiang Ning's assistance, we can tell that his progress in Five Beasts Fist is remarkable! These days, it's also evident that Master Wang values him more than us."
The crowd continued to discuss the recent commotion, their mouths agape.
At the same time, Xiao Peng turned to look at the crowd behind him.
"Fellow disciples, does anyone know the name and background of that disciple?" Xiao Peng asked, pointing at Jiang Ning.
"I know!" Someone squeezed through the crowd to speak.
"Please tell us, Qian Shidi!" Xiao Peng urged.
"That disciple is named Jiang Ning, from an ordinary family in the outer city!" the person continued.
"So, he's from an ordinary family, yet he has come this far. Impressive!" Xiao Peng nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Jiang Ning.
Just then, he had felt a slight threat from Jiang Ning, a threat to the recommendation slot three months later.
But when he learned that Jiang Ning was just an ordinary disciple from the outer city, this threat instantly dissipated.
Three months, no matter how gifted he was, he could learn and master the fist technique in no time.
Even if he entered the sect in one day, or even if he mastered the fist technique in one month, Jiang Ning would still pose no threat to Xiao Peng.
Because Jiang Ning came from an ordinary family in the outer city, how could such a family background afford the cost of Qi and Blood Perfection and Full Body Circulation? It took Xiao Peng three days to consume one Blood Nourishing Pill, and he never lacked various supplements.
Even so, it took him nearly a year to achieve Qi and Blood Mastery and channel it through his limbs, and he had spent a considerable amount of wealth in the process.
The rich practice martial arts, while the poor study.
For ordinary people, the golden age for martial arts training is only about twenty years.
Without a strong financial foundation, one's progress in the martial path is ultimately limited.
Three months to achieve Qi and Blood Perfection, Full Body Circulation, and Martial Dao Ascension—Xiao Peng secretly shook his head.
"I'm thinking too much!"
"Only Cheng Ran poses a threat to my recommendation slot. Just now, when I fought with him, his skin membrane was obviously different from mine. If he can form a skin membrane within three months, Martial Dao Ascension will be a piece of cake for him!"
"As for fist technique mastery, it's probably just a matter of opportunity for him, and I can't underestimate him!"
"Three months isn't a long time, I need to hurry up too!"
"I must achieve Qi and Blood Perfection as soon as possible, and once I do, forming a skin membrane will be like water flowing down a channel."
"Once I form a skin membrane, I will have ascended the Martial Dao."
"If he meets the requirements by then, we will likely have to test our combat killing abilities! The Inspection Bureau will surely choose a martial expert skilled in close combat, so I can't slack off in my practical combat training during this time."
Xiao Peng pondered on the spot, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful expression.
On the other side, Cheng Ran got up from the ground.
"Senior Brother Cheng, are you alright?" Jiang Ning asked, bending down to support him.
Cheng Ran coughed a few times, and blood foam spurted from his mouth again.
He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need Jiang Ning's help.
"I'm fine! My skin membrane is about to form, and my resistance to strikes has greatly increased. It's just a minor injury!"
"So, Senior Brother Cheng is not far from Martial Dao Ascension?" Jiang Ning asked, surprise flashing across his face.
Cheng Ran nodded, "Indeed, I will definitely ascend the Martial Dao within a month!"
Then he took a few deep breaths and slowly exhaled, finally calming the surging Qi and Blood in his body.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang!" Cheng Ran bowed to Jiang Ning, his expression serious.
"Senior Brother Cheng, it's nothing!" Jiang Ning quickly grabbed Cheng Ran's arms with both hands.
In an instant, Jiang Ning felt the power contained in Cheng Ran's arms, and his own arms couldn't help but burst out with a force to counter it.
Then, this force disappeared, and Cheng Ran stood up, his gaze at Jiang Ning filled with complexity, and his heart was also extremely shocked.
Just now, when his body was pulled by Jiang Ning's force, his body, which was originally crashing into the wall, began to fall downward.
As his body fell, he also felt a steady and powerful force from his back, where Jiang Ning was holding his arm, preventing him from falling further.
This force, though not as strong as his own, was not to be underestimated.
It was with Jiang Ning's help, and this force supporting him, that he was able to avoid more serious injuries.
The force Jiang Ning unleashed when he intervened surprised Cheng Ran, which led to this test.
After the test, he clearly felt Jiang Ning's approximate strength.
A force of over two hundred jin!
