When the time was right, heaven and earth lent their strength; Seven Forces Unification!

Jiang Hao had set himself a small goal. Just one month later, someone arrived at Jiang Manor who surprised him greatly.

"Xia Hong?"

Jiang Hao looked at the woman in red standing in the reception hall.

Wasn't she Xia Hong, whom he had encountered on Flying Eagle Mountain?

And Xia Hong had even given him a Xia Family Token.

Why had Xia Hong come looking for him at Jiang Manor?

"Jiang Manor's child prodigy, Jiang Hao, an Inner Disciple of the Black Tower Martial Arts School!"

"You didn't expect me to find this place, did you?"

Xia Hong turned around, her tone calm.

"Xia Hong, what do you want?"

Jiang Hao frowned.

Although this woman had given him the Xia Family Token, she was not someone easy to get along with.

"You're asking what I want? What have you been doing?"

"I gave you the Xia Family Token for you to use, so you could enter the Huangtian Sect. Yet you gave it to someone else. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xia Hong did not beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly.

She had come to call him to account.

When she had happened upon Jiang Hao, she had taken a liking to his talent and wanted to give him an opportunity.

Once Jiang Hao entered the Huangtian Sect and became an Inner Disciple in the future, there was a strong chance that he would become her support.

Although the Qingyang Xia Family was wealthy and powerful, it also had many outstanding clansmen.

If Xia Hong wanted to obtain more resources, she had to compete within the Xia Family as well.

If she had some helpers, it would also aid her in that internal competition.

Xia Hong had valued Jiang Hao's potential, but what was the meaning of Jiang Hao giving the token to someone else?

Especially Du Futian—Xia Hong had seen him too.

Perhaps Du Futian counted as a genius in Cang City.

But in the Huangtian Sect, Du Futian simply did not amount to anything.

Thus, in a fit of anger, Xia Hong had made inquiries in many places and finally learned Jiang Hao's identity. Only then had she personally come to the Jiang Family to demand an explanation from Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao glanced at Xia Hong and said in a deep voice, "May I ask, Sister Hong, when you gave me the token and recommended me to the Huangtian Sect, did you wish for me to lend Sister Hong a hand in the future?"

At Jiang Hao's age of only eight, calling Xia Hong "Sister Hong" was perfectly appropriate.

It even drew them closer.

Even Xia Hong's tone softened considerably. She nodded and said, "That's right. I do need you to lend me a hand in the future, but the prerequisite is that you must enter the Huangtian Sect. Only by entering the Huangtian Sect can your strength rise rapidly, and only then will you have the ability to help me in the future."

"But you gave the Recommendation Slot to Du Futian. You can't enter the Huangtian Sect, so what will you have to help me with in the future?"

"Sister Hong, who said I can't enter the Huangtian Sect? Since you've already learned that I became a disciple of the Black Tower Martial Arts School, don't you know my master's background? I actually have a Huangtian Sect Recommendation Slot..."

"Hm? You mean Zhao Heita intends to give you the Recommendation Slot passed down by the Zhao Family's ancestors? The Recommendation Slot in Zhao Heita's hands is an Inner Gate Recommendation Slot, allowing direct entry into the Inner Gate!"

Xia Hong stared at Jiang Hao with bright eyes.

It seemed she had indeed investigated everything thoroughly.

She even knew more than the other martial arts schools in Cang City.

She actually knew that the Recommendation Slot Zhao Heita possessed was a Huangtian Sect Inner Gate Recommendation Slot.

"That's right. Master has already promised to give me the Inner Gate Recommendation Slot!"

Xia Hong fell into thought.

"No wonder you looked down on the Recommendation Slot I gave you. So you had an Inner Gate Recommendation Slot to fall back on..."

"Sister Hong, you're mistaken there. Your token helped me tremendously. Since I used the token, it means I accepted this favor from Sister Hong. I will surely repay it generously in the future!"

With things said to this extent, Xia Hong naturally understood everything.

Thus, Xia Hong's attitude softened as well.

She even found Jiang Hao increasingly pleasing to the eye.

"I'll ask one last question. Are you planning to directly enter the Inner Gate while still at Ming Jin?"

"Yes."

Xia Hong nodded. "Then I understand. You intend to challenge the Desolate Heaven Tower. Your master truly has great courage..."

Xia Hong did not continue asking questions.

Anyone who dared to challenge the Desolate Heaven Tower was a ruthless person, and every one of them was a genius among geniuses.

Since Zhao Heita dared to use the Inner Gate Recommendation Slot on Jiang Hao, he certainly had some confidence. She did not need to remind him at all.

After all, Zhao Heita's ancestors had been high-ranking members of the Huangtian Sect and Dao-entry experts, not the least bit inferior to the Qingyang Xia Family.

They had merely declined now.

But Zhao Heita was certainly very familiar with the Huangtian Sect's rules.

"Fine. I'll await good news from you in the Huangtian Sect."

Xia Hong rose and left.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, Xia Hong tossed a manual toward Jiang Hao.

Smack.

Jiang Hao caught the manual.

The three words "Wheel Force" were written on it.

Clearly, this was a Force Training manual.

"Sister Hong..."

"Take it without worry. This is a top-tier Ming Jin Technique that I obtained personally. It has nothing to do with the Xia Family or the Huangtian Sect."

"Although I don't know what percentage of your Blood Qi you have purified, since Zhao Heita is confident enough to let you challenge the Desolate Heaven Tower, your purified Blood Qi must be quite exceptional. You will most likely have use for this Wheel Force."

"If you truly wish to thank me, then work hard to directly enter the Inner Gate. Don't waste your master's Inner Gate Recommendation Slot! Besides, I'm still counting on you to repay this favor. Only by becoming an Inner Disciple can you repay me..."

Xia Hong left decisively.

Jiang Hao could no longer see Xia Hong's figure. She had clearly already left Jiang Manor.

"Another top-tier Ming Jin Technique. This favor I owe is getting bigger and bigger..."

Jiang Hao looked at the Wheel Force in his hands, a smile appearing on his face.

The bigger the favor he owed, the better.

Xia Hong understood everything.

She was trying to lend him a hand!

"When the time was right, heaven and earth lent their strength..."

"Sister Hong, Master, Second Senior Sister... I won't let you down!"

Jiang Hao took a deep breath.

His emotions were surging now.

Xia Hong had traveled a thousand miles to come here, originally to call him to account. Yet in the end, she had instead given him a top-tier Ming Jin Technique—the very help Jiang Hao needed most right now.

It gave Jiang Hao the feeling that when the time was right, heaven and earth lent their strength.

With the Wheel Force Xia Hong had given him, Jiang Hao had now gathered a total of seven top-tier Ming Jin Techniques.

Once he mastered them all, the increase to Jiang Hao's strength would be unimaginable.

Thus, Jiang Hao began to devote himself wholly to Force Training.

He strove to master all seven Ming Jin Techniques as soon as possible.

Spring passed and autumn came. Another year went by.

A full year and three months had passed since Xia Hong left.

Jiang Hao did not go to the martial arts school, instead staying at home.

According to his master, there was nothing more he could teach Jiang Hao.

Everything had to depend on Jiang Hao himself.

Jiang Hao had indeed lived up to expectations. Supported by his formidable Bone Quality, he had already mastered six top-tier Ming Jin Techniques.

Only the final Wheel Force remained.

This Wheel Force was somewhat complicated.

It did not suit Jiang Hao.

Yet even though it did not suit him, after spending four months on it, Jiang Hao was nearly done mastering it.

Buzz.

The next moment, Jiang Hao's entire body trembled.

He felt another brand-new force arise within his body.

Wheel Force was complete!

"Finally, all seven top-tier Ming Jin Techniques have been mastered!"

Jiang Hao opened his eyes.

The first thing he did was examine his own condition.

Cultivation: Ming Jin (Early Stage)

Bone Quality: 7

Comprehension: 5.7

Spirit: 2

Fierce Tiger Fist: Minor Accomplishment

Ming Jin: 310% power enhancement

Over this past year or so, Jiang Hao's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Because he had devoted himself to visualizing the Blood Moon, Jiang Hao's Comprehension had reached 5.7.

Such Comprehension was already terrifying.

With such Comprehension, Jiang Hao's Fierce Tiger Fist had begun to show faint signs of loosening.

He vaguely sensed that Major Accomplishment in Fierce Tiger Fist was not far away.

Perhaps he was only missing an opportunity.

Then there was the enhancement from the seven top-tier Ming Jin Techniques. Jiang Hao's Ming Jin now carried more than triple its terrifying power.

Such strength was difficult to imagine.

At least at the Ming Jin level, there was likely no longer anyone who could match him.

Jiang Hao was not particularly overjoyed.

Mastering seven top-tier Ming Jin Techniques had all been within his expectations.

It was only that, even with his Comprehension already as high as 5.7, his Fierce Tiger Fist had still failed to reach Major Accomplishment.

Jiang Hao had long understood that Fierce Tiger Fist was easy to learn but difficult to master.

Yet Jiang Hao was still somewhat disappointed.

Although Jiang Hao could vaguely feel that Fierce Tiger Fist lacked some opportunity.

He did not intend to wait any longer.

Xia Hong and his master had both placed great hopes on him.

If he continued waiting, it would merely be a waste of time.

Only by going to the Huangtian Sect and becoming an Inner Disciple could Jiang Hao advance by leaps and bounds.

"Du Juan, prepare the carriage. I'm going to the martial arts school."

"Yes, Young Master."

Du Juan went to prepare the carriage.

The reason he did not have Big Tiger serve as transportation was that Jiang Hao had already released Big Tiger back onto Flying Eagle Mountain.

Although Big Tiger had been so happy at Jiang Manor that he forgot to return home.

Tigers belonged in the mountains and forests to begin with.

Moreover, Big Tiger would still return to Jiang Manor from time to time to reunite with Jiang Hao.

Soon, Jiang Hao arrived at the Black Tower Martial Arts School and met his master, Zhao Heita.

"Master, your disciple has finally achieved Seven Forces Unification. The time has come!"

Jiang Hao spoke directly.

Swish.

Zhao Heita abruptly raised his head, his gaze fixed tightly on Jiang Hao.

"Seven Forces Unification?"

"Yes."

Zhao Heita understood.

The stacking of seven top-tier Ming Jin Techniques, combined with the original additional doubling of power.

Now that Jiang Hao had achieved Seven Forces Unification, his power increase exceeded threefold!

Although Zhao Heita had long anticipated this day, he had not expected it to come so quickly.
