Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: The Arrival of Wang Jin and Shen Congyun

Martial Arts Hall’s front courtyard.

With the arrival of Wang Jin and Shen Congyun,

the originally noisy courtyard suddenly fell silent.

“Master Wang!”

“Greetings, Master Wang!!”

“Greetings, Master!!”

“…”

A chorus of voices rose in the courtyard.

Behind the crowd, Jiang Ning and Cheng Ran also cast their gazes over.

“The teacher is out!” Cheng Ran was somewhat excited, “The teacher has appeared, so we’ll soon be able to closely observe the fierce battle of the tiger; whether my Tiger Form Boxing can achieve great success, today is an extremely crucial opportunity!!!”

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s gaze couldn’t help but be drawn to Shen Congyun standing beside Wang Jin.

Jiang Ning asked, “Is that the Building Owner Shen, Shen Congyun, mentioned earlier by Brother Cheng?”

In Shen Congyun, Jiang Ning saw the aura of a great master.

Refined, approachable.

Especially the aura, filled with mystery.

Not like a Martial Arts expert, but rather like a Confucian scholar with the elegance of poetry and literature in his belly.

Following Jiang Ning’s words, Cheng Ran’s gaze also fell upon Shen Congyun.

He nodded excitedly, “Yes, that’s the great figure, Vice Building Owner of Wanhua Building, Shen Congyun! If I could be regarded highly by this eminent personage, that would be incredible! I’d really be advancing by leaps and bounds, changing my destiny!!!”

Hearing Cheng Ran’s words, Jiang Ning clicked his tongue slightly.

Advancing by leaps and bounds!

Changing destiny!

Could merely being esteemed by Shen Congyun truly have such an effect?

To understand that, one must know that Cheng Ran’s family had vast fertile lands spanning a thousand acres in this era, a true household of wealth.

The resources required for progressing in Martial Arts, Cheng Ran did not lack.

Jiang Ning also knew that if not for Cheng Ran’s affluent family, Cheng Ran would not have reached this point!

At this age, yet he had already achieved Qi Blood Perfection, penetrating throughout his body, and was about to rank among Martial Arts Ninth Grade in strength.

This had a great deal to do with the resources his family provided for him.

The poor resort to literature, the rich take up arms.

To rapidly progress in Martial Arts, one needs an abundance of precious medicinal herbs, various medicinal soups, Nourishing Essence Pills, Qi Replenishing and Boosting Pills, Blood Nourishing and Bone Strengthening Pills…

This entire series of items, all of them were about burning through cash.

Cheng Ran, who was in such a favorable situation, claimed that being esteemed by Shen Congyun could be described as changing his destiny.

Could being esteemed by the prestigious Shen Congyun truly have such an exaggerated effect?

Jiang Ning had some doubts in his heart.

At this time.

Wang Jin came to the courtyard, looking at the full yard of disciples, he felt somewhat satisfied in his heart.

The prosperity of the Martial Arts Hall made him feel that he had face.

“Mr. Shen, these are my unworthy disciples, what do you think?” Wang Jin addressed Shen Congyun by his side.

“Not bad!” Shen Congyun spoke and nodded slightly.

In the midst of speaking, his gaze casually swept over the crowd.

He fully understood Wang Jin’s intention.

Wang Jin had just suggested that he come out to take a look because, frankly, Wan Jin was not content and wanted him to assess the situation.

To see if there was any disciple in the Martial Arts Hall who could catch his eye, and thus secure investment from Wanhua Building.

Out of consideration for Wang Jin, he was also willing to come out to take a look, to help Wang Jin assess the situation.

This, in his view, also reflected favorably on Wang Jin’s character.

While maintaining a good relationship with him and in a Martial Arts world so vast, without the need yet to rely on disciples for retirement, Wang Jin still thought of his own disciples.

Striving for that slim chance of fortune on behalf of his disciples.

This alone was enough to show that Wang Jin was a man of good character.

This point also made Shen Congyun feel even better.

Whether it’s about investment or making friends, no one wants to deal with someone of poor character.

But at this moment, deep down, Shen Congyun held no expectations for Wang Jin’s disciples.

Martial arts prodigies that Wanhua Building deemed noteworthy must possess the potential to become first-class experts!

That is to say, they must cross over into Inner Strength, entering the realm of Martial Arts Fourth Grade.

Only with this potential would they be deemed worthy of Wanhua Building’s regard and investment.

As for the martial arts prodigies who could become Grandmasters, they were a stroke of fortune that was sought after but rarely found.

Every strong individual in history who had achieved Grandmaster status had a confluence of talent, background, opportunity, and fate.

Even the one at the top of Guangning Prefecture’s Hidden Dragon List was merely lauded by the world as having a chance to achieve Grandmaster status in the future.

In the remote Luoshui County, discovering someone like Wang Jin, who had the potential to blossom into greatness and possibly glimpse the realm of Grandmaster, was already a great satisfaction to him.

He no longer harbored any expectations for further discoveries.

So at this moment, looking at the crowd in front of the martial arts hall, Shen Congyun was somewhat indifferent.

At the same time.

The moment Zhou Xing saw Shen Congyun appear, he was astonished; Shen Congyun’s arrival was completely unexpected.

The next moment.

His astonished heart turned to ecstasy.

He, too, had long wished to meet with the master of the Wanhua Building.

He was confident in his own talent and thought perhaps Wanhua Building might take notice of him, thereby creating an opportunity for him.

But before this, he had tried every trick in the book to no avail, unable to meet any of the three masters.

Even his father had extended invitations to these three masters but to no response, as if dropping a stone into the sea.

He knew that his family, the Zhou family, seemed to have a significant status.

But this status was only within the small confines of Luoshui County.

Not to mention that within Luoshui County, there were many other families more prosperous and powerful than the Zhou family.

In Great Xia, families like his Zhou family weren’t even near the threshold of being considered a noble family.

Even the three great families, Cao, Liu, and Xie, had not touched the threshold of ‘noble family.’

Therefore, Zhou Xing understood that without fate, he would have no chance to meet the masters of Wanhua Building personally.

With meeting them so difficult, how could he talk about being taken notice by Wanhua Building?

So he had long put this thought to the back of his mind.

But now, witnessing Shen Congyun with his own eyes, Building Owner Shen from the portraits.

A sliver of hope in Zhou Xing’s heart rose once again. @@novelbin@@

If he could receive investment from Wanhua Building, if Wanhua Building took notice of him.

Then the possibility of the Zhou family growing to rival the Cao, Liu, and Xie families would greatly increase.

In Great Xia, if one’s martial arts skills were strong enough, one could do anything.

Not to mention others, if he were strong enough to become a martial arts examinee, gaining an official rank, the Zhou family would immediately become bustling, and he, Zhou Xing, would also bring glory to his family’s name.

A martial arts examinee was a symbol of strength and status.

But to become one, one must qualify for the martial arts examination before the age of thirty.

Once past thirty, no matter how strong, that path would be closed off.

Even though, in his view, Great Xia was now in a state of turmoil, very unstable.

But if he could become a martial arts examinee, that would be a tremendous stroke of good fortune.

An emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse; ultimately, this world still belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhou Xing also knew that his opportunity lay right now, in this moment with Shen Congyun.

If he could attract Shen Congyun’s notice, then all of these imagined prospects could become possible.

His future world would then be vastly broader, leading the Zhou family to another level, with the chance to be ranked among the noble and powerful families.

Only then could he fulfill the wishes in his heart, achieve his ambitions.

All of these thoughts made it hard for Shen Congyun to remain calm at the moment, his fists involuntarily clenched.

“Later, I must go down and perform well.”

Zhou Xing firmed up his resolve in his heart.
