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 roared, his right foot stomped heavily on the ground.
Boom!
The stone slab beneath his foot instantly cracked, and his body, propelled by the recoil of the stomp, slammed into Cheng Ran's chest.
In that moment, Jiang Ning was too shocked to react.
If Xiao Peng's strike had hit the wall, Cheng Ran would have been bedridden for at least ten days, or even longer.
Cheng Ran was his closest friend at the Canglang Martial Academy, and Jiang Ning couldn't just stand by and watch him get seriously injured.
The next moment, Jiang Ning leaped like a white ape, intercepting Cheng Ran's trajectory as he was thrown through the air.
Jiang Ning aimed for Cheng Ran's waist, reaching out with his right hand, and with a deep stance, he channeled his strength from the ground up, his entire body moving as one.
Cheng Ran's flying body 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 lifting the heavens.
A moment later, Cheng Ran landed on the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The crowd in the distance was already stunned by the fight, their eyes wide and mouths agape.
"Brother Xiao Peng is so powerful! His use of the Blind Man Leaning on Tree technique is truly masterful, beyond expectations. He secured victory with just one strike!"
"Brother Xiao Peng is indeed worthy of praise! Despite his weaker vital energy, he managed to overcome his opponent, proving himself a true direct disciple of Master Wang!"
"Yes! For Brother Xiao Peng to achieve this, he must have mastered the Bear Form Fist or reached the Minor Mastery level, right?"
"Most likely. From the conversation between Brother Xiao Peng and Brother Cheng Ran, we learned that Brother Xiao Peng's strength exceeds four hundred jin, surpassing Cheng Ran's by about a hundred jin, even though Cheng Ran has perfected his vital energy and circulated it throughout his body. This must be the result of Brother Xiao Peng's progress in cultivating the Bear Form Fist."
"It seems that Brother Xiao Peng's comprehension is truly exceptional!"
"Who can deny that? Within four months, he has achieved mastery in one fist technique, minor mastery in another, and proficiency or minor mastery in a third. His efficiency is unparalleled!"
"Not necessarily! Don't forget about Jiang Ning. It's said that on the second day after his entry, he reached the initial stage of cultivating all five animal styles, and now..."
As the person spoke, his gaze shifted to Jiang Ning, and at that moment, Cheng Ran was just getting up from the ground.
"Seeing how Jiang Ning came to help, it's clear that his Five Beasts Fist must be progressing well! In these days, it's evident that Master Wang values him more than us."
The crowd continued to chatter, discussing the recent commotion.
Meanwhile, Xiao Peng was also surprised by Jiang Ning's actions.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"What an impressive display of control! I underestimated this junior brother before!"
Then, he turned to the crowd behind him.
"Junior brothers, does anyone know the name and background of this junior brother?" Xiao Peng asked, pointing at Jiang Ning.
"I do!" Someone pushed through the crowd to speak.
"Please tell us, Brother Qian!" Xiao Peng said.
"That junior brother's name is Jiang Ning, from an ordinary family in the outer city!" the man replied.
"So, he's from an ordinary family and has come this far. Impressive!" Xiao Peng nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Jiang Ning.
In that moment, he had felt a slight threat from Jiang Ning, a threat to the recommendation slot three months later.
However, upon learning that Jiang Ning was from a common family in the outer city, this threat instantly vanished.
Three months, even if he had heavenly comprehension and earth-shattering insights, mastering the fist technique with every practice and understanding it with every lesson.
What good would it do to enter the sect in a day? Even if he did, and even if he achieved mastery of the fist technique in a month, in Xiao Peng's eyes, Jiang Ning still wouldn't pose a threat to him.
After all, Jiang Ning was from a common family in the outer city, and with such a background, how could he afford the expenses of cultivating vital energy to perfection and circulating it throughout his body? Xiao Peng himself had reached this point by consuming one Blood Nourishing Pill every three days, and he had never lacked various supplements.
But even so, it took him nearly a year to achieve mastery of vital energy and circulate it through his limbs, and during that time, how much wealth had he spent?
The rich in martial arts, the poor in wealth.
For ordinary people, the golden age for martial arts training is around twenty years.
Without a sufficient family background, one's progress in the martial path is ultimately limited.
Three months to cultivate vital energy to perfection, circulate it throughout the body, and achieve a ranked martial artist level.
Xiao Peng shook his head inwardly.
"I've thought too much!"
Read the correct version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar.
"Only Cheng Ran poses a threat to my chance at the recommendation slot. I just fought him, and his skin membrane is clearly different from mine. Within three months, he cultivated a skin membrane, so entering the ranked martial artist level will be a piece of cake for him!"
"As for achieving mastery of the fist technique, it might just be a matter of opportunity for him. I can't underestimate him!"
"Three months isn't long. I need to make the most of my time too!"
"I must cultivate vital energy to perfection, cultivate vital energy to perfection, and cultivate a skin membrane. That will be like water flowing down a channel."
"Cultivating a skin membrane is the same as becoming a ranked martial artist."
"If he meets the requirements like me at that time, he'll probably have to demonstrate his combat abilities! The Patrol Bureau will definitely send skilled martial artists who excel in close combat. I can't neglect my combat training during this period."
Xiao Peng stood there deep in thought, his eyes flashing with contemplation.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Cheng Ran climbed to his feet from the ground.
"Senior Brother Cheng, are you alright?" Jiang Ning bent down to support him.
"Cough, cough—" Cheng Ran coughed lightly 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 forming, and my resistance to strikes has greatly increased. It's just a minor injury!"
"So, Senior Brother Cheng is not far from becoming a ranked martial artist?" Jiang Ning's face showed surprise.
Cheng Ran nodded, "Indeed, I will definitely enter the ranked martial artist level within a month!"
Then, he took a few deep breaths and slowly exhaled, finally calming the surging vital energy within 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 that instant.
Jiang Ning felt the power contained in Cheng Ran's arms, and his own arms involuntarily burst forth with strength to counter it.
Then, this force disappeared, and Cheng Ran stood up, his gaze at Jiang Ning filled with complexity, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Just now, his body, which had been pulled down by Jiang Ning's force, was originally falling towards the wall.
As his body fell, he also felt a stable and unyielding force like a mountain range erupting from the arm that Jiang Ning was pulling. Although this force was not as strong as his, it was not to be underestimated.
It was with Jiang Ning's help that this force supported him, preventing him from suffering more severe injuries.
Jiang Ning's burst of strength when he intervened had surprised him, which led to this test.
After the test, he clearly felt Jiang Ning's approximate strength.
His strength exceeded two hundred and fifty jin!
