Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

Luo Zhengwen and Ge Xiaogu were shocked, but their faces were also full of joy.

If Wang Sheng becomes Ming Jin, then their previous investment will be very profitable.

Who wouldn't want another Mingjin friend!

The others, including Li Hu and Wei Yu, after their initial surprise, secretly assessed Wang Sheng's potential and felt it necessary to strengthen their connection in the future.

Wang Sheng's achievement of Ming Jin at such a young age must have been due to some extraordinary opportunity. Therefore, his inferior physical constitution isn't a major flaw. He still has decades to go; Wang Sheng might very well achieve An Jin.

"The disciples under Headmaster Zhao are indeed all young and promising!"

Headmaster He's hair was styled in a high bun, with a few strands falling naturally on either side of her face. The mystery of her veil added to her gentle demeanor, and her occasionally exposed skin was as white as jade. She had a tall and slender figure and spoke in a soft voice.

"Hahaha!"

"You flatter me, Dean He! My disciple is a diligent and hardworking person, which is why he has achieved his current level of cultivation!"

Zhao Jie's laughter carried a hint of satisfaction. He then looked at Wang Sheng, nodded, and said...

"Not bad, very good. I didn't expect you to be the first among this batch of new disciples to achieve Ming Jin (a level of internal strength).

"You can get the Bone Strengthening Pill from your master's wife. I will also find time to revise the treatment of Ming Jin disciples. Remember, Ming Jin is only the beginning of martial arts; you must not become lazy and ruin all your past hard work!"

"Yes, Your Highness, I obey!"

Wang Sheng said respectfully.

Logically, Wang Sheng should have stepped down here.

But seeing that Zhao Jie hadn't mentioned the follow-up methods of the Great Stele-Smashing Technique, Wang Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask in front of Headmaster He.

however,

To Wang Sheng's surprise,

He had barely uttered the question when he was reprimanded by Zhao Jie.

"Hmph, I just praised you. You're so arrogant, only at the Ming Jin level and already thinking about An Jin. You're still a long way from An Jin. It's not too late to ask me for the An Jin cultivation method when you've honed your Ming Jin skills to the late stage. Now, step down."

Zhao Jie waved his hand, looking rather impatient.

Although novice disciples can receive the Ming Jin (manifest strength) method, this does not mean that the An Jin (hidden strength) method can be easily passed down.

Zhao Jie didn't want to pass it on to Wang Sheng. Firstly, teaching the Dark Force method would require several days of instruction from him as a master.

However, given the current turbulent situation and Zhao Jie's numerous affairs, he has no time to dedicate to teaching Wang Sheng.

Secondly, the techniques must not be lightly passed on. This applies to any martial arts academy. In particular, techniques at the Transformation Realm level are extremely rare and highly sought after. Transformation Realm masters keep their techniques closely guarded, and they will not pass them on to anyone but those they trust.

"yes!"

Wang Sheng, with his head bowed and a rather unpleasant expression, immediately withdrew.

Zhao Jie and Dean He walked into the inner courtyard.

at this time,

Li Hu, Wei Yu, and a group of other Ming Jin disciples gathered in front of Wang Sheng to offer their congratulations.

"Junior Brother Wang, you truly are a man of few words, but when you do speak, you astound everyone!"

"True masters don't reveal their abilities; only after seeing Junior Brother Wang did I truly understand the meaning of this saying."

"Junior Brother Wang is so calm and composed; he is sure to have a bright future. Don't forget about us, his fellow disciples."

A group of people spared no praise, showering Wang Sheng with the most flattering words.

Wang Sheng hadn't expected his breakthrough to the Ming Jin realm to cause such a commotion, so he could only clasp his hands in thanks.

Meanwhile, Wu An, who was standing not far away, was already seething with rage and was about to go crazy.

The way those people praised Wang Sheng was extremely grating to Wu An's ears, making him think they were saying he was impatient, a fake, and so on.

"Wang Sheng, good, good! You stole my Bone Strengthening Pill and ruined my reputation, you just wait!"

Wu An quietly left; he was going into seclusion. He secretly vowed that he would not leave until he broke through to the Ming Jin level.

Inside the martial arts academy.

Half a day later,

The group of fellow disciples surrounding Wang Sheng finally dispersed.

Therefore, Wang Sheng also had to host several banquets to entertain his fellow disciples.

"Hahaha! Wang Sheng, you're really something!"

Unlike the others, Luo Zhengwen had long been on good terms with Wang Sheng, so after everyone had left, he came up and excitedly patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder.

Wang Sheng's achievement was a great achievement. For Luo Zhengwen, it meant that his efforts in borrowing money, confronting Fang Mingguang, and fighting against Wei Lingqin in the early stages were not in vain.

"I must thank you, Senior Brother, for your many helping hands! From now on, I will obey your every command!"

Wang Sheng cupped his hands in greeting.

"I dare not disobey" is a polite phrase, but it is indeed effective and very pleasing to say.

Luo Zhengwen's smile widened, and he nodded, saying...

"Junior brother made a mistake by asking Master for the method of cultivating internal strength. It is also my fault for not telling you about this matter."

"Now I will explain in detail the world after one reaches the Ming Jin stage, which is vastly different from that of ordinary people. You must remember this well."

Wang Sheng nodded solemnly, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Please tell me, senior brother."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Okay, let's go to Baihualou for a drink and talk while we drink."

A moment later,

After receiving the bone-strengthening pills from his master's wife, Wang Sheng and Luo Zhengwen chatted freely in a private room at Baihualou.

"Come, junior brother, try this precious fish."

"This fish is worth an ounce of gold. It tastes so delicious that I can't bear to eat more than a few."

Luo Zhengwen took a bite of the fish, and a look of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

Wang Sheng took a bite and his eyes lit up immediately.

A bite of fish entered his stomach and transformed into a breath that circulated within his body, bringing intense warmth that soothed his internal injuries and discomfort. He could clearly feel that his body was much more comfortable.

"Haha, let's eat quickly. Let's finish this treasure fish first."

Luo Zhengwen smiled.

Soon, the two finished eating the treasure fish.

Wang Sheng opened the panel and discovered that his Alchemy skill had suddenly increased by twenty levels. Just half a fish had saved him several days of time. This precious fish even seemed to have some healing properties!

"Junior Brother Wang, only after you've mastered the Ming Jin technique can you truly be considered to have entered the martial world."

"In this vast world, martial arts reign supreme. Once you reach the Ming Jin level, you will discover many things in this world that you never knew before."

"This low-grade treasure fish, for one tael of gold, can even kill a fisherman who is an expert swimmer in the water. There are also water dragons, mountain tigers, and all sorts of strange beasts that are extremely fierce and powerful."

"Like cultivation methods, the world is vast, and the various methods are unpredictable and wondrous beyond comprehension. Legend has it that someone skilled in swordsmanship could pierce through 2,600 armor pieces with a single strike!"

"Someone possesses supernatural abilities, capable of moving mountains and severing rivers, comparable to gods and demons!"

"There are also those who understand Yin and Yang, observe the general trend of mountains and rivers, and the shifting of stars, and win battles from a thousand miles away."

"Therefore, the method of cultivation is of utmost importance and should not be passed on lightly. You must understand the advantages and disadvantages involved."

"Junior brother, the world is about to descend into chaos; anyone can see that. That's why demons and monsters that we don't usually encounter will appear. You must be careful, rely on your master's support, and never offend him or make him angry."

"And another thing, junior brother. Now that you've become a Ming Jin, I, your senior brother, will have an advantage. From now on, we can help each other out. Maybe we can even make a name for ourselves in Ershui City."

Wang Sheng and Luo Zhengwen had a detailed conversation, with Luo Zhengwen doing most of the talking and Wang Sheng listening.

Occasionally, Wang Sheng would ask about some things in detail.

For example, various factions, rare and exotic beasts, and legends of various powerful beings, etc.

Gradually, a brand new world unfolded before Wang Sheng's eyes.

No one had ever told him these things before because he was just an ordinary person who knew a little bit of martial arts, not worth the time to tell, and besides, it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

But now that Luo Zhengwen has taken the initiative to inform me and has hosted such a grand banquet, it is clear that only after entering the Ming Jin realm have I been formally accepted, truly entered this circle, and been treated with great respect.

"But I'm about to unleash my hidden power!"

Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

He knew that without obtaining the follow-up methods from Zhao Jie, it would be impossible for him to advance to the Dark Force level using the Great Stele-Smashing Hand technique in a short period of time.

But now he has money and several other methods to cultivate to the level of internal strength, so he's not afraid of not being able to advance; it just takes him more time.
