Chapter 462: Chapter 104: The Tree Wants Tranquility, but the Wind Does Not Cease! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!!)
Cloud Inn.
“Success!”
“Haha!!”
He Jinseng stepped out of the room, his face beaming with joy.
At this mont, his expression was vibrant, and his face was flushed with color.
After years of cultivating both internally and externally, he had successfully condensed his first strand of Inner Breath today.
This also represented a critical step forward in Martial Arts for him.
He could be called a true Fifth Grade strong person now.
With such strength, he was now a prominent figure even in Dongling City.
“Unfortunately, it’s another year until the triennial Martial Arts Scholar and Martial Arts Top Scholar examination.”
“If it were just a year earlier, I could barely participate given my age.”
“By then, I might just get lucky and snag a Martial Arts Scholar title through good fortune.”
He Jinseng mumbled to himself, his face showing a hint of regret.
Thirty was the maximum age for participating in the Martial Scholar examinations.
He was already thirty this year.
And there was still a year and a few months until the provincial and palace examinations.
By that ti, he would be thirty-one and ineligible to participate due to age constraints.
As for falsifying his age, it had been tried in the past without success.
However, each year, people still made various attempts.
This was because having the title of Martial Arts Scholar or Martial Arts Top Scholar could propel soone rapidly within the military system.
Those who could earn such titles through the examinations were all martial prodigies at the pri of life and also needed to have a thorough knowledge of military strategies, making them well versed in both literary and martial skills.
They naturally received great attention.
After all, a simple-minded warrior was not suited to lead an army.
And without formidable Martial Arts capabilities, it was all too easy to perish unexpectedly on the battlefield.
Later,
He Jinseng pushed the door open.
“It’s ti to settle the matter with my brother.”
Suddenly, he noticed a few pages of white paper at his feet, and he rembered.
“Is this the result of Captain Huang’s investigation into Commander Jiang?” He Jinseng murmured to himself.
As the second son of the family of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion in Dongling City,
His standing and reputation in Dongling City were naturally high.
Over a month ago, he had practically confird the identity of Jiang Ning.
So, he had Captain Huang, a colleague of Jiang Ning’s, investigate Jiang Ning’s background.
After entrusting Huang with the task, he had sensed an opportunity and then entered seclusion, seizing that chance.
Today, he had successfully managed to condense a strand of Inner Breath, thereby officially stepping into the Fifth Grade of Martial Arts.
He also rembered that a few days ago, Captain Huang had co knocking, claiming to have gathered all the intelligence on Jiang Ning.
At that ti, because he was at a critical juncture, he was too preoccupied and had let Captain Huang leave the intelligence and go.
At this mont,
He Jinseng rembered those matters and bent down to pick up the two pages stuffed under the door by Captain Huang, containing information about Jiang Ning.
Holding the intelligence, he slowly read through, his eyebrows furrowing ever tighter.
“He’s that formidable?!”
After reading the two pages detailing information about Jiang Ning, He Jinseng was extrely shocked.
He prided himself as a martial prodigy, a true Martial Arts prodigy.
But according to the intelligence in his hands, his Martial Arts talent was no match for Jiang Ning.
The intelligence recorded Jiang Ning’s annihilation of a critical stronghold of the God Worship Sect, ntioning Fifth Grade strong people of the sect who died at Jiang Ning’s hands.
Moreover, it highlighted those from the God Worship Sect of Martial Arts Fifth Grade.
Being the second son of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion’s family, how could he not understand how formidable and troubleso the warriors of the God Worship Sect were?
The Divine Transformation state allowed the God Worship Sect’s warriors to be invincible at the sa level with an innate advantage.
Unless soone was a full realm higher, it was almost unheard of to confidently take them down.
The warrior from the God Worship Sect who died at Jiang Ning’s hands, according to the intelligence, was of Martial Arts Fifth Grade and also at the Half-step Jade Bone level.
He also believed that Captain Huang would not deceive him on such a matter.
After all, there was no need to.
He did not believe Captain Huang could have made an error in this investigation either.
Because it was too easy to distinguish a Martial Arts Fifth Grade warrior.
By observing their bones, one could know their Bone Forging Realm.
With this in mind, He Jinseng furrowed his brows even more.
He had originally planned to force Jiang Ning to co with him as soon as he stepped out.
Given that the year-end was approaching, he believed there was no one in Luoshui County who could match him.
After all, he was a warrior at the Jade Bone level.
Last year, relying on his Jade Bone level strength, he had participated in the examination and successfully claid the title of Martial Scholar.
And today, he had managed to condense the first strand of Inner Breath after years of internal and external cultivation.
Mastering Inner Breath was truly stepping into the Fifth Grade Inner Strength Realm.
With such power, he believed it wouldn’t be a challenge to take Jiang Ning back to Dongling City, especially since the Inspection Office staff were on extended leave and the Residence Master and commanders had returned ho for vacation.
As for such actions provoking the Inspection Office,
He couldn’t care less.
Since his father so highly valued the power of He Jinyun’s mother, then for He Jinyun, it was natural to bear the brunt of the Inspection Office’s wrath.
This headache was for his father to worry about.
His actions were rely following their desires and thoughts.
With the identity brought by the title of Martial Scholar, he was not worried his father might offer him up as the scapegoat.
But now, seeing the intelligence gathered by Captain Huang, he realized he had underestimated Jiang Ning.
A Half-step Jade Bone warrior of the God Worship Sect, he currently didn’t dare claim he could defeat them.
Yet, Jiang Ning had managed to slay one.
Although he didn’t know how Jiang Ning had accomplished that, as no detailed records existed in Captain Huang’s intelligence,
But by this piece of news alone, he knew he had underestimated Jiang Ning.
“Must change my strategy, this Jiang Ning is not soone to be offended lightly, especially on his own turf,” He Jinseng mused.
