A Martial Saint in Chaotic Times: Starting with Grinding Proficiency

Hearing Wang Tengfei's words, Jiang Qian was prepared, but she still felt a sense of disappointment.

"Aren't you going to reconsider? What the Wang family can give you, my Jiang family can give you too." Jiang Qian seemed to still want to persuade him to stay.

"The Jiang family has indeed treated me well. When I came from a humble background, they took me in as a dependent, and after I was seriously injured, they sought out famous doctors everywhere."

Wang Tengfei paused, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by reason.

"But I, Wang Tengfei, am exceptionally talented and will surely establish my own family in the future. How can I be willing to marry into another family?"

At this point, a hint of hostility appeared on Wang Tengfei's face.

Although he was born into a fishing family, he knew that marrying into a family was the greatest shame for a man, as it meant abandoning his own surname.

"yes."

Jiang Qian sneered inwardly.

The news of his marriage into the family had actually been revealed to him before Wang Tengfei even reached the Yi Jin Jing realm.

When he first heard about it, he was not only not disgusted, but also afraid that he would not agree, so he expressed his feelings to her many times.

But now...

Jiang Qian laughed self-deprecatingly.

Born into the Chiang family, but born out of wedlock, she deeply understands the coldness and indifference of the world, and unexpectedly, she now has expectations for humanity again.

"Starting today, I will no longer go to the Jiang family, and I will also forgo this month's offerings. Consider it payment for the Jiang family's medical treatment for me."

Wang Tengfei's expression hardened, and he continued...

"I'm afraid the Wang family will misunderstand."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qian felt her blood boil. She had previously thought Wang Tengfei was just a young man with a youthful spirit, but now it seemed that he was an arrogant and domineering person at heart.

"Remember what you said today."

Jiang Qian coldly tossed out a sentence, turned and left, heading straight for Qingyang Martial Arts School.

Seeing Jiang Qian leave, everyone could guess what had happened.

Few could resist the temptation of being recruited by the most powerful family in Luochuan County.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Wang, on joining the Wang family!" Han Ming said as soon as he saw Jiang Qian leave.

Although he usually spends time with Jiang Qian and they seem to have a close relationship, as a member of the family, he naturally knows how to maximize his own interests.

"Senior Brother Han, you flatter me." Wang Tengfei cupped his hands in greeting, straightened his posture, and met Han Ming's gaze.

Before, when he joined Jiang Qian and Han Ming's clique, he always felt inferior.

Now that he has climbed up to the Wang family, he is full of confidence and can finally stand on equal footing with these scions of prominent families.

Han Ming noticed Wang Tengfei's change, and his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

He was an expert at reading people's expressions and knew exactly what Wang Tengfei was thinking.

However, he didn't point it out, but instead changed the subject.

"Junior Brother Wang, do you know who attacked you that day?"

The story of how Wang Tengfei was able to join the Wang family all started with the attack on Zuichunlou.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tengfei's expression changed. He stared intently at Han Ming and said in a deep voice, "That person was wearing a straw hat and raincoat, so his appearance was not clear. However, he had already reached the Bone Forging Realm, and his cultivation techniques were quite complex."

He suddenly paused, his face visibly turning cold.

"Most importantly, I sensed the influence of the Mountain Shaking Fist and the Six Harmonies Stance Technique in him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ming's expression changed drastically.

At the Bone Forging Realm, one can also perform the Mountain Shaking Fist?

Doesn't this mean that the person who made the move was inside the martial arts school?

Han Ming seemed to remember something and subconsciously took half a step back, only to see Wang Tengfei staring intently at him.

"Junior Brother Wang, do you suspect me?" Han Ming's expression changed, and he said coldly, "There are quite a few disciples who have joined my Qingyang Martial Arts School in Luochuan County."

"But there are only a few disciples at the Bone Forging Realm." Wang Tengfei's expression grew increasingly cold as he slowly walked towards Han Ming.

"Perhaps he's a disciple who left before, and he might have broken through to the Bone Forging Realm outside." Faced with the pressure from a master of the Tendon Changing Realm, Han Ming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Senior Brother Han is right."

Just then, a smile suddenly appeared on Wang Tengfei's face, and the pressure from the Yi Jin Realm expert slowly dissipated.

"Besides, I know your strength after sparring with Senior Brother Han so many times before."

"Junior brother is right," Han Ming said cautiously, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Only now did he realize that the junior brother Wang in front of him was no longer the fisherman boy who followed behind him and Jiang Qian, but a true master of the Yi Jin Jing.

Wang Tengfei took a few more steps forward, his gaze slowly landing on the figure diligently practicing martial arts in the corner of the courtyard.

He had fought Han Ming several times, so he was well aware of Han Ming's strength.

Although he was only at the Bone Forging Realm, he was the weakest among the core disciples. And the person who attacked him that night was far stronger than Han Ming.

Therefore, Han Ming had long been excluded by him. He was just bluffing to let him know that Wang Tengfei was no longer the fisherman boy who could be easily manipulated.

"Therefore, there are only three suspects left."

Wang Tengfei's gaze fell on Zhou Yuan, gradually turning cold.

Although this person was once on good terms with me, he might be jealous of my superior talent.

Just then, a disciple rushed up behind him to report that the headmaster, Zhu Xiaowen, wanted Wang Tengfei to go to the backyard.

Upon hearing that it was Zhu Xiaowen who had invited him, Wang Tengfei slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to Han Ming, saying, "I'll be hosting a banquet at Wangjiang Tower in three days. I hope Senior Brother Han will do me the honor of attending."

"Don't worry, junior brother, I will definitely be there." Han Ming put away his previous contempt and immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Wang Tengfei nodded and then headed towards the backyard of the martial arts school.

As Wang Tengfei left, Zhou Yuan, who was in the corner, also recovered from his practice of the Six Harmonies Stance Technique.

Now that he is a Bone Forging Realm martial artist, his perception of qi is far beyond that of ordinary people, so he can naturally feel the hostility that just landed on him.

Moreover, the direction of that hostility was clearly towards the pavilion.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly.

He knew Han Ming well; he was a man of principle and would never show hostility towards anyone in public.

The person just now must be Wang Tengfei.

After Wang Tengfei broke through to the Yi Jin Jing realm, his personality changed drastically.

Although he didn't know why the man was hostile towards him, he was very uncomfortable with the feeling of being stared at.

My heart was once again filled with an urgent desire to improve my strength.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Yuan stopped paying attention to what had just happened and entered the state of practicing the Six Harmonies Stance Technique once again.

Time passed slowly, the sun set, and night gradually fell.

Perhaps he was too engrossed in his cultivation, because when Zhou Yuan came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the training ground.

He held his breath, slowly finished his practice, glanced around, and then opened the panel with a thought.

Name: Zhou Yuan

[Realm: Body Tempering Stage Two - Bone Forging]

[Skill: Six Harmonies Stance Exercise (Proficiency: 620/1000)]

[Martial Arts Skill: Mountain Shaking Fist (Third Level: 732/1000)]

[Martial Skill: Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace (Second Level: 410/500)]

Martial Arts Skill: Bone-Melting Palm (Second Level: 420/500)

Martial Arts Skill: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Beginner: 230/300)

Zhou Yuan has already made more than halfway through the Six Harmonies Stance Training. Although he is still some distance from perfection, he is not impatient. As long as he proceeds steadily, everything will fall into place naturally.

Most importantly, his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is about to break through, at which time his true combat strength will undergo a tremendous change, which is the source of Zhou Yuan's confidence.

He got up and went to the side room to change his clothes, preparing to go home.

Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the backyard.

It was none other than Wang Tengfei.

He had been summoned to the backyard by Zhu Xiaowen for several hours, his face full of excitement, clearly having received some benefit again.

Zhou Yuan merely glanced at him, making no attempt to speak, and turned to walk towards the entrance of the martial arts school.

However, at that moment, he suddenly frowned.

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from behind him!
