Time flies.

On this day, An Yanbing and Xiao Yingkai were preparing to take these martial arts prodigies back to the Black Eagle Sect. On the village road at the entrance, the villagers all came to see them off. It was precisely because of An Yanbing and the others' arrival that the Black Wind Stockade had restrained itself and no longer troubled them.

Furthermore, they were recruiting children from this remote area, giving them the qualification and opportunity to become Martial Artists and achieve success.

Therefore, the villagers were immensely grateful to An Yanbing and the others.

"Where did Junior Brother Li Xian go? He disappeared in just a moment."

As An Yanbing and Xiao Yingkai were about to lead these martial arts prodigies away from Shuanglin Village, they turned their heads and found that Junior Brother Li Xian had suddenly disappeared.

Just as they were wondering.

Li Xian walked out from the village, with another person beside him. The villagers recognized him; it was Su Mo.

They didn't understand why Li Xian would call Su Mo over at this time.

Could Su Mo still have a chance to become a disciple of the Black Eagle Sect?

Among these martial arts prodigies, Zhang Qian stood there. She saw Su Mo and had complex emotions towards him that she couldn't articulate. However, as she was about to become a Martial Artist, perhaps she should let go.

That is, Su Mo was just a Hunter, a Hunter from Qingliang Mountain, while she, Zhang Qian, would be a Martial Artist in the future.

If she couldn't be the woman of a Martial Artist, then she, Zhang Qian, would become a powerful Martial Artist herself.

Seeing Su Mo approach, Zhang Hai couldn't help but call out, "Brother Su Mo," a brother he would always call "Brother Su Mo."

If Su Mo hadn't come with Green Wolf Meat on that snowy day, their family wouldn't have made it through this winter. Therefore, Zhang Hai always treated Su Mo with respect, for it was a life-saving kindness!

Su Mo smiled and nodded in response, then looked a little helpless.

Li Xian had suddenly come to his home and insisted on taking Su Mo to meet his two senior brothers and sisters. Li Xian felt that if Su Mo could make it, even though Su Mo was over eighteen years old, Su Mo was a Martial Artist.

Becoming a Martial Artist without any Body Tempering Cultivation Techniques was extremely rare. He wanted Senior Sister An Yanbing to examine Su Mo's aptitude and see if there was still a chance.

"Junior Brother Li Xian, what is this?"

Xiao Yingkai spoke, glancing at Su Mo. But it was this glance that made Xiao Yingkai's eyes narrow. Could this person be the friend that Junior Brother Li Xian had mentioned before?

He's not simple!

With just one glance, Xiao Yingkai saw that Su Mo was extraordinary.

But then he shook his head slightly. No matter how extraordinary he was, starting cultivation at over eighteen years old, his future martial path would likely be difficult. The problem of solidified and blocked aptitude was enough to stop too many people.

"I'd like to ask Senior Sister An Yanbing to examine my friend's aptitude and see if there's still a chance?"

Li Xian spoke, hoping Senior Sister An Yanbing would examine Su Mo's aptitude and see if he had a chance to enter their Black Eagle Sect.

"Then let me take a look."

An Yanbing looked at the sincere Junior Brother Li Xian and didn't say much, just asked Su Mo to step forward so she could examine his aptitude.

As for Li Xian's repeated help, Su Mo didn't say anything, but he remembered it in his heart.

Su Mo stepped forward, and An Yanbing extended her slender jade fingers, channeling her internal martial energy and brushing over several of his major acupoints related to aptitude. After a moment, her gaze towards Su Mo held a hint of surprise.

Although the person before her wasn't highly cultivated, his physical strength was incredibly robust, surprising even the usually aloof An Yanbing.

But then, her surprise faded, and she shook her head slightly, a trace of disappointment appearing.

"Junior Brother Li Xian, although your friend is already at the peak of the early Body Tempering Realm, he started cultivating too late. His aptitude is blocked, and his future achievements will not be too high. Therefore, he is not qualified to enter our Black Eagle Sect."

An Yanbing said softly. The disciples their Black Eagle Sect recruited, not to mention having unparalleled martial aptitude, but at least they needed superior aptitude and roots so that their future martial path could be smooth. At the very least, they would have a chance to reach the Meridian Opening Realm, and perhaps even the Tendon Changing Realm.

However, Su Mo's aptitude and roots were actually quite good, but unfortunately, his roots were blocked and solidified. Although he could cultivate, his martial ceiling was extremely low. It was even uncertain if he could break through to the Meridian Opening Realm in this lifetime.

Therefore, even though Su Mo's physical strength was robust and extraordinary, his ceiling was too low, and their Black Eagle Sect would not accept him.

Hearing An Yanbing's words, Li Xian was very disappointed. He felt sorry for Su Mo.

Su Mo just smiled, indicating it was nothing, as he had already expected this outcome.

Although Su Mo had become a Martial Artist, Senior Sister An Yanbing also said that Su Mo's martial arts potential was not high and he would likely not achieve much.

At the same time, something suddenly flashed through Zhang Qian's mind: she finally understood why, after the Black Wind Stockade thugs had snatched the Plum Deer meat that day, they had also threatened that their Major Leader would take action and forcibly abduct her.

However, after that, the Black Wind Stockade thugs never came down the mountain again. The villagers all thought the Black Wind Stockade had forgotten about it, and even Zhang Qian's family thought so.

But looking at it now, perhaps that wasn't the case...

"Brother Su Mo, you're actually a Martial Artist. No wonder you're so good at hunting."

After learning this, Zhang Hai was even more amazed. He could only admire Brother Su Mo. Becoming a Martial Artist even without joining the Black Eagle Sect was simply incredible.

Li Goudan and Chen Mazi, these two promising martial arts talents, also looked at Su Mo in the field with complex expressions. They had clearly underestimated Su Mo.

If the Black Eagle Sect hadn't come to Qingliang Mountain to recruit disciples, they might not have even had the qualifications to compare themselves to Su Mo in their entire lives.

It wasn't just the younger generation who were shocked. Even Zhang Tieshan, from the older generation, hadn't expected that this child Su Mo had such great ability. He could become a Martial Artist without going out into the world. If he had known earlier, he would have insisted on marrying Qian'er to Su Mo.

But when he thought that Qian'er was now a disciple of the Black Eagle Sect and was about to go to Anyuan County Town to cultivate, he fell silent.

Liu Guihua stared blankly. This child Su Mo was truly promising. Even someone as calculating as her had to admit it now.

But her son and daughter were not bad either. They would also become Martial Artists in the future, and powerful ones at that.

Uncle Chen Shan was stunned. Su Mo had given him a huge surprise! Many people had said Su Mo wasn't qualified to participate in the Black Eagle Sect's disciple recruitment tournament and would only be a Hunter his whole life.

But what was wrong with being a Hunter? Even a Hunter could possess the strength of a Martial Artist. What, were there any Hunters in Shuanglin Village stronger than Su Mo?

Village Chief Yang Baishu wiped his eyes. Was this child Su Mo really this amazing? He had already become a Martial Artist!

The villagers were greatly shocked by the fact that Su Mo was already a Martial Artist, and their gazes towards him were filled with reverence.

Although Zhang Hai, Zhang Qian, Li Goudan, and Chen Mazi would become Martial Artists in the future, the Su Mo standing before them now was a genuine Martial Artist.

"You're called Su Mo, right? Although your martial arts path in this life won't go very far, as long as you stay in this mountain village, you won't face too much danger. You must know that the world of Martial Artists has always been very dangerous."

An Yanbing looked at Su Mo, who had remained calm from beginning to end, and reminded him.

Su Mo's solidified bone structure destined that reaching the peak of the Body Tempering Realm would be an extremely extraordinary feat. As for the Meridian Opening Realm, it was too difficult. Rather than that, it would be better to stay in Qingliang Mountain hunting for a lifetime.

Hearing this, Su Mo looked at An Yanbing, who was as cold and ethereal as an immortal. He simply smiled slightly without saying much. Then, after greeting Li Xian and wishing him well on his journey, he turned and left.

Zhang Qian stood in the crowd, looking at Su Mo's retreating back. Her red lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but after glancing at Senior Sister An Yanbing in front of her, she ultimately said nothing.

Senior Sister An Yanbing might be right. Even though Su Mo was a Martial Artist, his martial arts path was blocked. Being a village Hunter in Qingliang Mountain might not be a bad option after all.

Thus, An Yanbing and her group left Shuanglin Village and headed for Anyuan County Town, a place where Martial Artists were everywhere, sects stood in great numbers, and minor aristocratic families roamed freely.

There, they would find vast martial arts cultivation resources, powerful cultivation techniques and martial arts, and even the rise of prodigies and the brilliance of monstrous geniuses...

Compared to Anyuan County Town, Qingliang Mountain and Shuanglin Village were simply too far apart, too far.
