Grandmaster Opportunity (Monthly Tickets, Please!!!)

In Shen Congyun's eyes.

Looking across all of Luoshui County, although Wang Jin was not the strongest person in Luoshui County, there were still several people stronger than him.

However, Wang Jin was the true martial genius.

In a small place like Luoshui County, being able to reach the peak of Martial Dao Rank 7, with only one step left to Rank 6, unquestionably made him a genius.

More importantly, Wang Jin was an Innate Spiritual Awakened, the same kind of person as him.

It was precisely this special quality that made Shen Congyun truly value Wang Jin.

In his eyes, so what if Wang Jin was over fifty? So what if his bodily functions were declining? So what if he now had no hope of breaking through?

Being the same kind of person as him, an Innate Spiritual Awakened, was enough!

Successfully achieving Initiation in the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill in just two months represented immense talent—enough to earn Wang Jin his regard.

Once he cultivated the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill, his bodily functions would only recover.

With that, Wang Jin would have hope of breaking through to Martial Dao Sixth Rank.

He also possessed the subsequent cultivation methods for the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill, enough to help Wang Jin cultivate to Great Success Inner Strength and the level of Inner Breath Like Gang.

With Wang Jin's talent as an Innate Spiritual Awakened, even relying on water-mill persistence, he would be capable of drawing in the Essence of Sunlight and cultivating to the realms of Five Viscera Thunder Sound, Inner Breath Like Gang, and Great Success Inner Strength.

Once Wang Jin's bodily functions recovered, breaking through to Martial Dao Sixth Rank would be as natural as water flowing into a channel.

Once he achieved Bone Forging Great Completion and Great Success Inner Strength at Rank 6, he could skip the Inner Strengthening of Rank 5 and directly enter the ranks of Martial Dao Fourth Rank.

A martial expert of this level would be a First-Class Sect existence across all of Great Xia.

If fortune came his way and he advanced another step, it would not be impossible for him to take a seat among Great Xia's Grandmasters.

Although the possibility was only one in ten thousand, that was enough for Shen Congyun.

In Shen Congyun's eyes, Wang Jin was at worst someone capable of achieving Martial Dao Sixth Rank.

Moreover, a Martial Dao Sixth Rank expert who cultivated both internally and externally was no weaker in battle than some Martial Dao Rank 5 experts.

Besides that, Wang Jin still had a twenty-to-thirty-percent chance of entering Martial Dao Fourth Rank. A powerhouse of that level would be a First-Class Sect existence across all of Great Xia.

There was also an exceedingly faint one-in-ten-thousand chance of achieving the Grandmaster realm.

If Wang Jin could rank among the Grandmasters, Shen Congyun would truly have struck it rich.

The favor of a Grandmaster was priceless.

Although the possibility was only one in ten thousand, among the so-called geniuses of the world, merely having the possibility of becoming a Grandmaster was already enough to make the world marvel at them as heavenly beings.

A Grandmaster's might could rival ten thousand soldiers alone, and a single person could safeguard a First-Class Sect's prosperity for a hundred years.

That was why he was willing to befriend Wang Jin and invest in him.

It was also why he had made a special visit today.

As the two conversed, they had already arrived at the Martial Arts Hall's Backyard, the courtyard where Wang Jin lived.

Elsewhere.

Jiang Ning and the others had also finished their meal.

Under Cheng Ran's lead, the two of them strolled around the Martial Arts Hall's Front Yard before returning to Jiang Ning's courtyard.

"Too bad. I actually didn't get to see Shen Congyun's true appearance." Cheng Ran sat in front of Jiang Ning, his face full of regret.

Jiang Ning said, "The Hall Master and Pavilion Master Shen must have gone to the Backyard. If Senior Brother Cheng really admires him, why not find an excuse to go take a look?"

"It's not really admiration!" Cheng Ran gave a chuckle. "I've only heard that the Myriad Blossom Pavilion occasionally invests in martial geniuses. Anyone who catches the eye of someone from the Myriad Blossom Pavilion and receives their investment will go much farther on the Martial Path."

"After all, the Myriad Blossom Pavilion has countless divine arts and precious medicines, as well as many experts. Compared to the Myriad Blossom Pavilion's resources, my family is no different from a beggar."

"If Shen Congyun takes a liking to me and I receive the Myriad Blossom Pavilion's investment and training, then I'll really take off!"

"Surpassing and crushing Xiao Peng would be a piece of cake!"

"No, I should say that he would never be worthy of entering my sight again. We wouldn't even be on the same level. From then on, all he could do was gaze at my back."

At this point, Cheng Ran shook his head again.

"But forget it! The Myriad Blossom Pavilion only invests in true martial geniuses. The martial geniuses they invest in usually have exceptional comprehension and Bone Constitution. Such geniuses often don't even need a year to go from Martial Dao Initiation to Martial Dao Entry Rank."

"There's basically no chance they'd take a liking to me. I can only daydream about it."

As Cheng Ran spoke, he shook his head and sighed, convincing himself to face reality.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was somewhat moved by Cheng Ran's words.

As Cheng Ran had said, if he could receive the Myriad Blossom Pavilion's investment and cultivation, it would truly be a tremendous help.

Especially during the weak early stages, the difference would be even more obvious.

It would be like timely aid in the snow.

But after pondering that restless thought for only a moment, he gave it up.

He truly knew too little about the Myriad Blossom Pavilion.

He knew even less about Shen Congyun's temperament and character.

Moreover, from the moment Shen Congyun had arrived at the Martial Arts Hall, he had gone straight to the Backyard with Wang Jin. It was obvious that he had come with other important business, not to make some so-called investment.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning secretly shook his head.

[Five Animal Frolics Fist Experience Points+1]

After completing a set of the fist technique, Jiang Ning's body had long since been drenched in sweat beneath the midday sun.

[Skills]: Five Animal Frolics Fist (Minor Completion 51/500)

"No unexpected gains!"

Looking at the prompt before him, the Five Animal Frolics Fist that had still only gained one Experience Point, Jiang Ning secretly shook his head.

After sparring with Cheng Ran that morning, he had felt that he had gained some insight into the Five Animal Frolics Fist. Yet after repeatedly practicing and verifying it, there was still no change whatsoever in the Experience Points he obtained.

"Great Completion really isn't that simple!"

Jiang Ning secretly shook his head.

Then he clenched his fists again, sensing that he still had some strength left in his body.

"After achieving Initiation in the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill, my stamina has greatly increased. Sure enough, I can practice the fist technique many more times each day."

"Just this morning, I practiced the fist technique seven times."

"After lunch, I've already practiced it three times in a row, and I can still feel that I have strength to spare."

"After the internal organs strengthened, things really are completely different."

"If I had Wild Ginseng to supplement my nourishment, the efficiency of my fist practice could improve even further."

"If I can comprehend the Ferocious Tiger's spirit and form after observing it later, and grasp the essence of the Ferocious Tiger Fist's Great Completion, that would be even better."

"Before my Five Animal Frolics Fist reaches Great Completion, the Experience Points I gain from each set could even double."

"My strength would then surely rise at an astonishing pace."

The next moment.

The Blood Qi in his body surged, instantly flowing through his right arm. As for his left arm, more than half of it had been connected as well.

"I'm not far from connecting both arms!"

"As my Blood Qi grows stronger, my current strength should have surpassed two hundred and fifty Jin."

Afterward.

Jiang Ning rested for a moment. Just as he was preparing to continue practicing the fist technique—

"Junior Brother Jiang! Junior Brother Jiang!" Cheng Ran burst in with the wind at his heels.

Jiang Ning had only just begun his Fist Momentum when he lowered his hands.

"Senior Brother Cheng came rushing over in such a hurry. Did something happen in the Front Yard?"

Cheng Ran stopped in his tracks. "Junior Brother Jiang, you didn't hear the commotion in the Front Yard? Senior Sister Li Qing just returned. She's successfully achieved Martial Dao Entry Rank, and Second Senior Brother Zhao Hu has also arrived. His Tiger Form Fist has already reached the Perfected Realm, and he's mastered the Ferocious Tiger Force."

"Perfected Realm?" Jiang Ning's face filled with surprise.

Cheng Ran nodded. "Yes, the Perfected Realm. Senior Brother Zhao Hu said he would demonstrate Tiger Form Fist at the Perfected Realm for us. Junior Brother Jiang, hurry up and come with me to the Front Yard to observe!"

"Good!" Jiang Ning immediately abandoned the idea of practicing his fist technique. He was also extremely curious about Tiger Form Fist at the Perfected Realm.
