Chapter 82 Abandoned Child
"What? Who did you say?" Jiang Zhongkun froze, as if a snake's tendons had been pulled out. The master of the Transcendent Realm almost collapsed to the ground.
He immediately stepped forward and quickly checked on his personal disciple, discovering that he had suffered some minor injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this boxing match, Bai Yutang and his bunch of idiots lost, and even lost their junior brother's life. It was Duan Xuan from that broken-down martial arts school who did it!" Lin Zhennan gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress his instigation: "If it weren't for that old geezer from Renhetang who was at the Transcendent Realm being there..."
I am not returning with my junior brother's corpse, but with the heads of that brat and the head of Renhe Hall to see you.
This might make you more comfortable!
""
"Oh? You mean that old bastard Zhou Wei? He's still alive? After all these years, he's still clinging to life."
Ultimately, the reason he didn't dare to seriously injure you was because he was wary of the strength of my Linmen Martial Arts School; he only managed to drive you away.
Otherwise, what comes back won't just be your junior brother's corpse!
""
Jiang Zhongkun was heartbroken and walked to the lobby with Lin Zhennan.
All the disciples of the Scaled Python Martial Arts School gathered here, all with their heads down, staring at the cold corpse on the ground.
"What a master of feigning weakness! This country bumpkin, who's usually so low-key he's practically buried in the dust, actually has such abilities! Po Shan Martial Arts School, impressive skills!"
"Master, there's definitely something fishy going on in the fight between Bai Yutang and Renhetang. There must be a disciple from Poshan Martial Arts School planted among them, otherwise that kid would never have been able to defeat Second Senior Brother!"
"That's right, we must seek justice for our second senior brother. Let's fight against the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School together!"
Lin Zhennan grew increasingly furious as he listened, his venomous eyes gleaming with black light: "Master, just say the word, and I'll be the first to raze Poshan Martial Arts School to the ground!"
"The hatred between Lin Martial Arts School and Poshan Martial Arts School will be settled by my Lin Martial Arts School, but not now."
"Yun'er, there are still some things to take care of at the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School. I'll be back in three months at the latest, and that will be their death day!" Jiang Zhongkun knew perfectly well that revenge was a simple matter.
However, we cannot act solely on enthusiasm; we must assess the strength of both sides.
Now, his own disciples are dead and crippled, and his strength is greatly diminished. On the other hand, Poshan Martial Arts School not only has the master of Transformation Realm, Chen Feng, in charge.
It is said that his two personal disciples have recently reached the threshold of the Transformation Realm.
They were striving to take the final step when a completely unknown Duan Xuan appeared.
In terms of overall strength, the Scale Python Martial Arts School is indeed significantly weaker on the surface.
But he only appears very strong to outsiders; all he needs is for his son to return.
With two Transformation Realm experts attacking, even a large number of Dark Realm martial artists would be futile.
"Senior Brother Jiang Yun, is he coming back soon?"
'
"That's great! He broke through to the Transformation Realm years ago, just like you, Master."
Let alone sweeping through Poshan Martial Arts School, even if several other martial arts schools came, they wouldn't be a match for us!
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Zhennan's eyes. Although he was the eldest disciple, the treasure in the martial arts school had always been his master's son, Jiang Yun, many years ago.
Just when he finally managed to outlast Jiang Yun, Duan Xu, who possessed top-tier physical attributes, reappeared and stole his master's affection from him.
Jealousy was fleeting; right now, helping him kill Duan Xuan of the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School and avenge his junior brother was more important than anything else.
"Alright, the Hunting Tournament will be held in another month. Poshan Martial Arts School will most likely send someone to participate, as it will be their first time participating in such a grand event."
I have long-standing relationships with the presidents of several major chambers of commerce. You all need to cultivate diligently recently. Once I have made all the necessary arrangements, I will arrange a hunting operation.
Perhaps even without your senior brother Jiang Yun taking action, the Poshan Martial Arts School would be wiped out!
,
The annual hunting tournament is organized by the Chamber of Commerce and is just as lively as the martial arts examination, except that the number of participants is limited to martial artists from Huangshe County.
Martial arts disciples can not only use the equipment provided by the merchants to hunt and sell for money.
Similarly, you will receive incredibly generous rewards based on your ranking.
This signifies good fortune for the coming year, and that the mountain god will bestow true blessings!
"Yes, I will obey your orders!"
He dispersed the crowd, including Lin Zhennan and Jiang Zhongkun, and went back to his house alone.
Walking to the bedside, I gently lifted the heavy solid wood bed with my fingers and placed it to one side.
With a light stomp of his foot, the dust under the bed was instantly lifted into the air, revealing a different area beneath the wooden floor.
Jiang Zhongkun reached his hand deep inside, as if retrieving eggs from a snake's nest.
A moment later, he took out a small box. The box was not exquisite, but it was as airtight as a piece of black iron, and there was a mechanism lock on top.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Zhongkun opened the iron box, revealing a bright yellow pill inside.
Upon contact, the pill exuded an incredibly rich herbal fragrance, with the aroma of hundreds of herbs filling the room.
In just a moment, the aroma of the elixir changed drastically. The core herb from the deepest part of the back mountain suddenly released an aroma that overwhelmed all the auxiliary herbs.
The energy surged and raged, and even though Jiang Zhongkun was a master of the Transcendent Realm, his internal energy and blood began to stir restlessly.
He was forced to endure the growing strength.
This is the Marrow Cleansing and Bone-Melting Rejuvenation Pill!
Jiang Zhongkun quickly circulated his qi and blood, forcibly spreading the qi and blood that had rushed into the top of his head throughout his body. After repeating this three to five times, the frenzied feeling brought on by the pill gradually subsided.
After closing the lid, Jiang Zhongkun dismissed all the servants and went straight to the room where Duan Xu and Wu Zhengzhong were.
"Master!" Wu Zhengzhong was overjoyed when he saw Jiang Zhongkun push the door open and enter. Each time his master came over, he would tell them the techniques for breaking through to the next level.
This gave Wu Zhengzhong a glimmer of hope for victory. Meanwhile, Duan Xu, young and impetuous, had long since given up hope of recovering his health after just a few days.
Jiang Zhongkun ignored Wu Zhengzhong and walked up to Duan Xu: "Xu'er, your master has found you a pill that can heal your injuries. Take it when the time is right."
If you can endure the torment, you will recover within five months and will be able to break through to a higher realm without any hindrance, surpassing your master.
"Really?" Duan Xu's eyes lit up: "I want to take care of Master in his old age, I want to be Master's biological son."
Be a teacher for one day, and be a father for life.
As long as I recover, I will do whatever you say, Master, from now on.
I want revenge! I want to help our martial arts school regain its glory!
Xin Duanxu became increasingly agitated as he spoke, while Wu Zhengzhong coughed a few times, saying, "Master, there can't be only one pill, right? What about me? What about me?"
Jiang Zhongkun's face darkened: "Zhengzhong, I have treated you well over the years. Whatever you want, I will get it for you."
Didn't you say that before?
"Save my junior brother first. As for you, I'll find a way."
"Master, you can't be biased! How many dirty things have I done for the martial arts school?"
Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, I've been the one cleaning up all the messes and sores they've caused over the years.
"Even if I haven't done anything great, I've still put in a lot of effort, Master. You have to give me this elixir first!" Wu Zhengzhong said anxiously.
In an era where martial arts reign supreme, who doesn't want to live a good life? Who doesn't want to break through to the next level and become a martial arts master who commands respect in their region?
He is revered and respected by all!
He immediately blurted out, "This kid has brought no benefit to the martial arts school. He's caused so much trouble since the day he arrived! Master, you can't do this to me! You can't—"
boom!
Jiang Zhongkun unleashed a burst of energy, striking Wu Zhengzhong's mouth. His mouth exploded like a flower blooming on his buttocks, sending him flying backward.
"So noisy!"
'
Wu Zhengzhong landed in a sorry state, his body aching and his heart aching even more.
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment: "No, that pill is mine—my master!"
""
"What? Who did you say?" Jiang Zhongkun froze, as if a snake's tendons had been pulled out. The master of the Transcendent Realm almost collapsed to the ground.
He immediately stepped forward and quickly checked on his personal disciple, discovering that he had suffered some minor injuries, and breathed a sigh of relief.
