Chapter 52: The Arrival of Wang Jin and Shen Congyun
Chapter 52: The Arrival of Wang Jin and Shen Congyun
In the front courtyard of the martial arts academy.
As Wang Jin and Shen Congyun appeared, the previously bustling courtyard fell silent.
"Master Wang!"
"Greetings, Master Wang!!"
"Greetings, Teacher Wang!!"
"..."
Voices echoed throughout the courtyard.
Behind the crowd, Jiang Ning and Cheng Ran's gazes also turned towards the newcomers.
"It's Teacher Wang!" Cheng Ran exclaimed with excitement, "Now I'll be able to observe the Tiger Form Fist up close! This is a crucial moment to see if my Tiger Form Fist can reach Great Success!"
At this moment, Jiang Ning's attention was drawn to Shen Congyun, who stood beside Wang Jin.
Jiang Ning asked, "Is that the Shen Congyun that Senior Brother Cheng mentioned?"
In Shen Congyun, Jiang Ning perceived the aura of a master.
Elegant and amiable.
Especially his aura, which was filled with mystery.
He didn't resemble a martial arts expert but rather a scholarly gentleman with grace and refinement.
As Jiang Ning spoke, Cheng Ran's gaze also fell upon Shen Congyun.
Cheng Ran nodded excitedly, "That's the big shot, Deputy Lord Shen Congyun of Wanhua Tower! If I can gain his favor, I'll truly soar to new heights and change my fate!"
Hearing Cheng Ran's words, Jiang Ning clicked his tongue slightly.
Soar to new heights!
Change one's fate!
Could Shen Congyun's favor really have such an effect? It's worth noting that Cheng Ran's family, in this era, owned a thousand acres of fertile land, making them extremely wealthy.
Cheng Ran had ample resources for his martial arts progression.
Jiang Ning also knew that if Cheng Ran's family hadn't been so affluent, he wouldn't have achieved so much at his age. At such a young age, Cheng Ran had already reached Vital Energy Perfection, with his energy coursing throughout his body, and was about to attain the Ninth Stage Martial Dao.
His family's resources had played a significant role in his progress.
The rich focus on martial arts.
To advance swiftly in martial arts, one requires a vast amount of precious medicinal ingredients, various herbal concoctions, energy-nourishing pills, Qi-enhancing pills, blood-enriching and bone-strengthening pills. All these things are expensive.
Cheng Ran, with his family's means, claimed that being favored by Shen Congyun would be like changing his fate.
Could being noticed by Shen Congyun, a revered figure, truly have such an exaggerated effect?
Jiang Ning had his doubts.
At this moment, Wang Jin arrived in the front courtyard and surveyed the courtyard filled with disciples, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
The prosperity of the martial arts academy brought him a sense of pride.
"Brother Shen, these are my unpromising disciples. What do you think?" Wang Jin asked, addressing Shen Congyun beside him.
"They're good!" Shen Congyun replied, nodding slightly.
As he spoke, his gaze casually swept over the crowd.
He fully understood Wang Jin's intentions.
The reason Wang Jin had asked him to come and take a look was, in simple terms, to give his assessment.
To see if there was any disciple in the academy worthy of his attention, who could then receive investment from Wanhua Tower.
Out of respect for Wang Jin, he was willing to come and evaluate the disciples, showing that Wang Jin was a decent person.
This gesture indirectly demonstrated Wang Jin's good character.
Even in a situation where he had established good relations with others, and in the vast world of martial arts, he still considered his disciples' future.
Seeking those faint opportunities for his disciples.
This action showcased Wang Jin's commendable character.
This aspect further improved Shen Congyun's mood.
Whether for investment or friendship, no one wants to associate with someone of questionable character.
However, at this moment, Shen Congyun held no expectations for Wang Jin's disciples.
Wanhua Tower would only invest in martial arts prodigies with the potential to become top-tier experts, those who have surpassed Inner Fortification and attained the Fourth Stage Martial Dao.
Only this possibility is worthy of Wanhua Tower's attention and investment.
As for becoming a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, that is a rare opportunity.
Throughout history, every powerful individual who achieved the Grandmaster title possessed a combination of talent, background, opportunities, and luck.
Even the top-ranked individual on the Dragon Ascension List in Guangning Prefecture is merely praised by the world as having the potential to attain the Grandmaster position in the future.
In a remote Luoshui County, discovering Wang Jin, a person with great potential for late success, and having the opportunity to glimpse the existence of a Grandmaster, is already quite satisfying.
He no longer expects to discover more.
So, at this moment, as he looks at the crowd in front of the Martial Academy's courtyard, Shen Congyun is somewhat distracted.
At the same time,
Zhou Xing sees Shen Congyun's appearance, and his expression is instantly astonished. Shen Congyun's presence greatly exceeds his expectations.
The correct version is available at 69 Book Bar. 6=9+Book_Bar.
The next moment,
His astonished heart turns into elation.
Regarding the main and deputy lords of Luoshui County, he has long wanted to meet them.
He is confident in his decent talent, and perhaps he can be favored by Wanhua Tower, thus creating a chance encounter.
However, before this, he has exhausted all his efforts, but still has no opportunity to meet those three lords.
Because even his father, when inviting those three lords, receives no response, like a stone sinking into the ocean.
He also knows that his Zhou family seems to have some influence.
But this influence is limited to a small Luoshui County.
Not to mention that in Luoshui County, there are many families more prosperous and powerful than his Zhou family.
In Daxia, families like his Zhou family can't even reach the threshold of aristocratic families.
Even the Cao, Liu, and Xie families have not touched the threshold of aristocratic families.
So Zhou Xing also knows that without fate, he has no chance to personally meet the three lords of Wanhua Tower.
If meeting is difficult, how can one expect to be favored by Wanhua Tower?"
So he has long put this idea back in his heart.
But at this moment, seeing Shen Congyun, Lord Shen, in the portrait,
The glimmer of hope in Zhou Xing's heart rises again.
If he can receive Wanhua Tower's investment, if he can be favored by Wanhua Tower,
Then the Zhou family's future growth to the level of the Cao, Liu, and Xie families will have a much greater possibility.
In Daxia, with sufficient strength in Martial Arts, one can achieve anything.
Not to mention that if his strength is sufficient, and he becomes a Martial Scholar, gaining fame and prestige, the Zhou family will immediately become bustling, and he, Zhou Xing, will bring honor to his family.
Martial Scholar is a symbol of strength and status.
To become a Martial Scholar, one must be under thirty years old to be eligible to participate in the Martial Examination.
Once the age exceeds thirty, regardless of any strength, this path is cut off.
Although, in his view, Daxia is currently in turmoil,
But if one can become a Martial Scholar, that is a great fortune.
Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and this world still belongs to the Daxia Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhou Xing also knows that his opportunity lies here, at this moment, with Shen Congyun.
If he can gain Shen Congyun's favor, then all these imaginings become possible.
His future world will become even more vast, and he will lead the Zhou family to another level, with the opportunity to be listed among the aristocratic families.
Only then can he fulfill his heart's wish, fulfill his ambition.
All these thoughts make Shen Congyun's heart restless, and his fists clench involuntarily.
"Wait, I must take the stage and show my abilities."
Zhou Xing's heart is determined.
