Chapter 92: Invincible Body

Chapter 92: Invincible Body

At the entrance of Wan Hua Tower.

"Hall Master, according to the reports from our informants, Jiang Ning is still inside the tower and hasn't come out yet," said a Qingnian Gang member who had been keeping watch, as he quickly reported to Xu Yunfeng upon seeing him arrive with a few others.

"Good! Well done!" Xu Yunfeng nodded with approval.

Then, he took out his identity token and handed it to one of the gang members, "Take my token and find Vice Leader Hong Chengtao. Tell him that I owe him a favor and request his assistance here. This is also the task given by the Third Young Master."

"Yes, Hall Master!" The gang member respectfully took the token.

Without delay, the disciple sprinted off to deliver Xu Yunfeng's message to the Vice Leader.

As the disciple rushed away, a woman standing beside Xu Yunfeng, dressed in a leopard-skin mini-skirt and a chest wrap, seemed slightly displeased.

"Hall Master, it's just killing Jiang Ning. Is it necessary to involve Vice Leader Hong Chengtao?" she asked.

"Hong Chengtao is a Skin Tempering practitioner with considerable strength, capable of lifting eight hundred jin," Xu Yunfeng explained.

"Having him join us to kill a novice like Jiang Ning, who has only practiced martial arts for a little over a month, is a bit embarrassing, don't you think, Yuan Ge?"

"With the two of us helping, it should be more than enough to kill Jiang Ning. Don't you agree, Yuan Ge?" As she said this, the woman raised her arm and gestured towards the other man standing beside them.

Yuan Ge, the Hall Master, immediately spoke up, "Xiao Yu is right! With two Vice Hall Masters and a Hall Master, how could we possibly fail to defeat a mere Jiang Ning, who has only been training for a little over a month?"

"Even if he is a genius favored by Shen Congyun, what can he possibly achieve in just over a month of training? How much strength could he have gained?"

"Xiao Yu has mastered Qi and Blood, capable of lifting four hundred jin. I, myself, have perfected my Qi and Blood, surpassing five hundred jin."

"Additionally, Hall Master Xu has made progress in Skin Tempering, reaching the Ninth Stage Martial Dao."

"With the three of us joining forces, how could Jiang Ning, with his mere month of training, possibly escape from our combined assault?"

Hearing their words, Xu Yunfeng couldn't help but smile slightly.

"What the Vice Hall Masters said does make sense, but the Third Young Master of the Cao family has instructed us to be thorough, even when hunting a rabbit, a lion must exert all its strength!"

"Since Shen Congyun values Jiang Ning so highly, we can't afford to take any chances!"

"If we are to take action against him, we must give it our all to ensure success. After all, if we fail, we won't just offend Jiang Ning, but also Shen Congyun, a formidable figure."

"If I weren't unable to request the Leader's assistance at this moment, I would have invited the Leader as well, to ensure absolute success."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ge, one of the Vice Hall Masters, shook his head slightly, "Hall Master Xu, you're being overly cautious!"

"I don't think it's caution, but rather making a mountain out of a molehill!" Xiao Yu, the other Vice Hall Master, interjected, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Xu Yunfeng smiled faintly at her words and chose to remain silent, allowing the Vice Hall Masters to vent their frustrations.

In his opinion, as long as they could cooperate with him on this matter, that was all that mattered.

He didn't bother himself with anything else.

Although he personally felt that their combined strength was already sufficient, he opted for the safest approach to ensure success. He decided to seek assistance from Vice Leader Hong Chengtao, a Skin Tempering practitioner with considerable strength.

With Hong Chengtao's involvement, success was all but guaranteed.

This matter was crucial to Xu Yunfeng's future plans.

Success meant gaining Cao Bin's approval and entering the Inspection Bureau, allowing him to change his destiny and take control of his fate.

Therefore, in Xu Yunfeng's eyes, no amount of caution was excessive.

The importance of this task couldn't be overstated.

Meanwhile, the two Vice Hall Masters, seeing Xu Yunfeng's silence, also refrained from further comments.

After all, Xu Yunfeng was associated with the Third Young Master of the Cao family.

Not only did they have to give Xu Yunfeng face, but also the Third Young Master of the Cao family.

Wan Hua Tower.

Jiang Ning exited Lin Qingyi's room and headed to the back of the tower.

Seeing no one around and the maid from earlier having already left, Jiang Ning made a decision.

He decided to open the box that Shen Congyun had left for him right there and then to see what it contained.

After all, there was no safer place in Luoshui County than this.

The next moment, Jiang Ning placed the box on the wooden table and unlatched the lock.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the wooden box opened.

Inside, he found a secret manual and several small canisters.

[Invincible Body]



As Jiang Ning picked up the manual, he saw these four large characters on the cover.

"Invincible Body?" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

He continued to speak softly, "It seems my previous guess was correct. Senior Shen has left me a Skin Tempering technique, and it must be an extraordinary one for him to have entrusted it to me through Lin Qingyi."

At this thought, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Senior Shen has done so much for me!"

Then, he slowly flipped through the pages of the Invincible Body manual.

Soon after, Lin Qingyi pushed open the door and saw Jiang Ning slowly perusing an ancient, yellowed book on the balcony of the pavilion.

"Is this what Shen Congyun left for him?" Lin Qingyi wondered.

She paused in her steps, not wanting to disturb him.

A moment later, as Jiang Ning continued to read the ancient book, Lin Qingyi caught a glimpse of the words on the cover.

"Invincible Golden Body?" She slightly furrowed her brows, feeling surprised, "Did Shen Congyun actually get his hands on this book? Could he have visited the Golden Body Temple?"

"No wonder he was so serious about it. This is the Invincible Golden Body! If it's the complete and perfect version from the legends, it could create an immortal golden body!"

"But this must be an incomplete version of the Invincible Golden Body."

"After all, the complete Invincible Golden Body is said to be exclusively possessed by the Golden Body Temple. With Shen Congyun's capabilities, how could he possibly obtain the complete version from the temple?"

"The Golden Body Temple has Grandmasters and even higher-level existences!"

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyi shook her head.

On the other side, Jiang Ning continued to read, and during his reading, he noticed that his experience in recognizing characters and texts was increasing rapidly.

After a while, he finished reading.

[After reading the Invincible Golden Body, the experience in recognizing characters and texts increased by a total of 438 points.]



Upon seeing this prompt, Jiang Ning was taken aback.

"So much? 438 experience points?"

He quickly opened the panel again to take another look.

[Skills]: Recognizing Characters and Texts (Secondary Limit Break 543/3000) (Characteristics: Memorize at a Glance, Extraordinary Senses)



"Did it really increase by 438 experience points?" Jiang Ning wondered, feeling extremely surprised.

He looked again at the book in his hand, titled [Invincible Golden Body].

"Just a fragment, and after reading it, it gave me such a significant boost to my skill in recognizing characters and texts. What level of martial arts is this Invincible Golden Body?"

At this moment, Jiang Ning was filled with astonishment.

Based on the introduction in the book, he learned that this ancient book, titled [Invincible Golden Body], had a significant background.

It was even claimed to be one of the origins of martial arts.

According to the records, if the Invincible Golden Body could be cultivated to perfection, it would allow one to condense an immortal golden body.

Possessing an immortal golden body meant being impervious to blades and bullets, immune to fire and water, and unaffected by any technique.

Even in ancient times, with the support of this technique, one could challenge celestial beings with an ordinary human body.

It was also said that it would guarantee invincibility against opponents of the same level and innate talent.

This clearly demonstrated the power of the Invincible Golden Body.

However, after reading it, Jiang Ning realized that the Invincible Golden Body in his hands was just a fragment.

It was a fragment that could only be cultivated to a minor success.

Although it was just a minor success, its effects were still sufficient.

The minor success of the Invincible Golden Body was enough for him to master skin transformation, making his skin as tough as copper.

This would allow him to enter the eighth level of the Martial Dao, the Divine Power Realm.

Moreover, according to this Invincible Golden Body, the skin membrane it cultivated was, on average, 30-50% stronger than those cultivated by other similar techniques.

This further demonstrated the power of the Invincible Golden Body.

"I wonder what level of martial arts is this Invincible Golden Body?" Jiang Ning wondered to himself.

On the other side, Lin Qingyi saw that Jiang Ning had snapped out of his thoughts and walked over.

"Sister Lin!" Jiang Ning greeted Lin Qingyi upon noticing her.

"Is this what Shen Congyun left for you?" Lin Qingyi pointed to the ancient book in Jiang Ning's hand.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded and added, "This golden body technique is indeed a precious gift!"

"Of course!" Lin Qingyi said, "The complete version of the Invincible Golden Body is the supreme martial art of the Golden Body Temple, one of the top sects in Daxia."

"Oh, I see!" Jiang Ning suddenly realized, then shook his head and sighed, "What a pity! Senior Shen only left a fragment, allowing me to cultivate a minor success state with a skin membrane as tough as copper."

Hearing this, Lin Qingyi felt relieved.

Then she smiled and said, "Or did you expect a complete version? It's the supreme martial art of the Golden Body Temple, with a level even higher than supreme techniques."

"The Golden Body Temple has numerous Grandmasters, more than twenty, and several Great Grandmasters!"

"Not only does Shen Congyun lack the qualifications to obtain the complete Invincible Golden Body, but even if he had it, he wouldn't dare to reveal it. It's something that could bring him deadly danger!"

Upon hearing Lin Qingyi's words, Jiang Ning was stunned.

"The Golden Body Temple is that powerful?"

"Of course!" Lin Qingyi replied, "It's one of the top sects in Daxia. You should know that in Daxia, sects and the royal family share control of the world."

"The power of sects is immense, especially for those with deep roots like the Golden Body Temple, which has a heritage dating back to ancient times."

"Unless the Martial Sage himself makes an appearance, even a governor of a province would find it difficult to make the Golden Body Temple submit."

Jiang Ning listened intently and secretly remembered Lin Qingyi's words.
