Chapter 53: Shen Congyun's Surprise
Chapter 53: Shen Congyun's Surprise
The Front Yard of the Canglang Martial Academy.
Shen Congyun casually glanced over the crowd.
With his current martial arts level, a single glance was all it took for him to discern the strengths and weaknesses of these novice martial artists.
As his gaze swept across them, he shook his head inwardly.
They were all mediocre, not even as good as that young girl.
Suddenly, when his eyes fell upon Zhou Xing, his expression stirred slightly.
"His skin has been refined, comparable to a whetstone. At his age, reaching this level is quite impressive; he's a talent."
Shen Congyun's nose twitched slightly.
Even from a distance, he could clearly distinguish the scents on the crowd.
"The medicinal scent is extremely rich and has already penetrated the bones. He must come from a good family!"
"In that case, he's just average!"
After making this judgment, Shen Congyun shook his head slightly.
"Brother Shen, have you noticed something?" Wang Jin, standing beside Shen Congyun, spoke up upon noticing his subtle change.
Hearing this, Shen Congyun chuckled and shook his head.
"What discovery could there be?" Then, he added, "Didn't you say there was a grand event at the martial arts academy today? Why hasn't it started yet?"
Upon hearing Shen Congyun's words, Wang Jin couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment.
Looking at the disciples in front, some of them seemed to understand that this was a pivotal moment in their destiny, their eyes gleaming with hope.
Wang Jin sighed inwardly.
As a master and disciple, I've done my best to create opportunities for you.
If Brother Shen doesn't favor you, there's nothing more I can do!
After a moment of reflection, Wang Jin calmed his mind and looked at the disciples in front.
"Come, a few of you, carry this cage into the courtyard on the west side."
"Master, I'll do it!" Someone spoke up instantly.
"Master, I'll help too!"
"Me too!!!"
The crowd spoke up one after another.
Especially those who knew Shen Congyun's identity, they were eager to showcase themselves.
The next moment, several people quickly approached the tiger's cage.
As they bent down and exerted force, the iron cage containing the four-meter-long tiger was lifted off the ground by their combined strength.
The commotion instantly woke the sleeping tiger.
It opened its eyes and looked around.
Roar—
A furious roar silenced the entire front yard.
"Is this the King of Beasts?" Someone asked, their face turning pale.
No one responded at that moment.
"Such a powerful sense of oppression!"
Jiang Ning stared at the tiger with the character 'Wang' on its forehead, astonished.
"It's indeed very strong!!!" Cheng Ran nodded in agreement and continued, "That roar just now made my heart skip a beat. The sense of oppression is overwhelming!!!"
"But now, I'm even more eager to step into the arena!"
"Only by facing this tiger head-on, feeling its oppressive power, and fighting it, can I truly bring the Tiger Fist to the realm of Great Achievement!"
"And!" When Cheng Ran said these two words, his gaze quietly met Shen Congyun's, who was looking in his direction.
Cheng Ran's heart was filled with excitement, and his face exuded confidence.
"Moreover, by showcasing myself, I might earn the favor of this influential figure, Shen Congyun!"
Cheng Ran then touched Jiang Ning's arm.
"Let's go, Jiang Shidi. Let's move closer so that Shen Congyun can see me more clearly!"
Cheng Ran was secretly thrilled.
At the same time, Jiang Ning's gaze wandered as he pondered silently.
"As Cheng Ran Shixiong said, if I can gain the favor of this big shot, Shen Congyun, and receive investment from Wan Hua Tower, it would be a life-changing opportunity!"
"This is a chance for me!"
"Even with those few wild ginseng plants, I still lack the resources to advance in martial arts."
"Moreover, if I can earn Shen Congyun's favor and investment, I'll have the backing of Wan Hua Tower, allowing me to practice martial arts smoothly and prepare for the important matter of entering the Inspection Bureau!"
The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the more he felt he should give it a try.
Failure is not without its benefits.
Success would bring immense advantages, no less than the benefits of entering the so-called Patrol Office.
"I need to think carefully and see if there's any way for this Lord Shen to recognize my potential and value me!"
"But with my current lack of strength and mediocre fist techniques, it's difficult to impress and gain the favor of Shen Congyun."
The more Jiang Ning thought about it, the more troubled he felt.
The trouble of not knowing where to start.
Although he was confident in his extraordinary abilities, he believed that he would have a place in the world in the future.
However, at this moment, he couldn't think of a way to impress Shen Congyun, this big shot.
Just then, as Cheng Ran touched him, Jiang Ning snapped back to his senses.
"Jiang Shidi, shall we go?" Cheng Ran spoke again.
"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded, and his gaze followed Cheng Ran's.
At the same time, Shen Congyun's gaze also fell upon Jiang Ning and Cheng Ran.
He was first attracted by Cheng Ran's vibrant vital energy.
With his vital energy nearing perfection and about to enter the apprentice stage, Shen Congyun shook his head inwardly.
Mediocre!
That was the conclusion Shen Congyun made about Cheng Ran.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
Something's wrong!!!
Jiang Ning's breath was long and steady.
Shen Congyun focused his mind again, listening intently.
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
In Shen Congyun's ears, he clearly heard the powerful beats of Jiang Ning's heart.
Slow and powerful beats!
This was the initial sign of refined internal organs!
A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Congyun's mind.
As he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Am I going crazy?
Why else would I have such an idea?
Shen Congyun shook his head inwardly.
But at this moment, his mind seemed possessed by this thought, and his steps slowed unconsciously.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?" Wang Jin noticed Shen Congyun's change once more.
At this moment, Shen Congyun ignored him.
His eyes were already closed.
In his state of mental focus, any changes from all directions, including the rustling of leaves in the wind and the crawling of ants beneath his feet, were reflected in his mind.
Then, Shen Congyun's heart trembled.
The essence of Sunlight!
This boy actually had traces of the essence of Sunlight on him!!!
Shen Congyun's mind was suddenly filled with tumultuous thoughts.
The presence of the essence of Sunlight on Jiang Ning clearly supported his previous guess.
This boy had practiced the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique, which shared the same origin as the Inner Strengthening Method he and Wang Jin practiced.
That's why Jiang Ning had traces of the essence of Sunlight on him.
Based on Jiang Ning's breathing rhythm and heartbeats, Shen Congyun concluded that Jiang Ning had achieved some success in the Inner Alchemy Vitality Technique, evidently reaching the entry-level realm. His achievement in this technique was no less than Wang Jin's, who was at the Seventh Level Martial Dao.
Only with such an achievement could his internal organs be refined to this extent, far surpassing ordinary martial artists.
As these thoughts flowed through his mind, Shen Congyun opened his eyes, his gaze calm and unreadable, his expression revealing none of his thoughts.
"Brother Shen, what just happened?" Wang Jin asked, his face showing concern.
Shen Congyun slowly shook his head. "Nothing!"
