Becoming a Saint Starting with the Chasing Wind Leg Technique

Sun Li spoke first: "This person has repeatedly refused Senior Brother Zhang's kindness, and even humiliated him in public! Senior Brother Zhang is a confidant of Senior Brother Li Wei—refusing Senior Brother Zhang Wu is tantamount to slapping Senior Brother Li Wei in the face!"

Liu Jiankun chimed in, "Yes, now the sect is divided into two factions. Since he's siding with Zhou Xingyun, he's our enemy. You two senior brothers must be careful not to go down the wrong path."

Shen Tu Hao frowned, while Pang Jingyuan narrowed his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Shen Tuhao sighed deeply, his tone regretful: "What a pity... With such perseverance and talent, he could have become a pillar under Senior Brother's command."

Pang Jingyuan coldly replied, "It seems he chose his own path."

Since you're on the opposite side, even the most talented person can become a source of trouble.

"If you die later, don't blame me."

Their attitudes suddenly cooled, and their previous appreciation vanished completely.

As Sun Li and his companion approached, Shen Tuhao lowered his voice, but his words were sharp as knives: "Since they are enemies, we cannot show mercy. Undeveloped geniuses are the most dangerous—if we don't suppress them today, they will be difficult to control tomorrow."

Pang Jingyuan nodded: "That's right. You should suppress him more and not let him have a chance to stand out."

Sun Li smiled wryly: "But he's all grown up now. Zhou Xingyun speaks up for him everywhere, and the old master has tacitly allowed him to teach new apprentices on his behalf."

"Moreover, this person is exceptionally strong, and what's even more terrifying is that... he even killed He Dabiao. His methods were cruel but skillful, and he left no evidence."

I had already informed Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Li about this matter, and they said it was not good to openly violate the sect rules, so we should remain calm and wait for things to change.

Eventually, the Black Tiger Gang also learned of this, but without evidence, they were helpless and had to suffer in silence. They were powerless to do anything about it and the matter was dropped, leaving only the trouble for some of their other members!

"He Dabiao? Isn't he quite famous among the braggarts?" Shen Tuhao's pupils shrank slightly, then he sneered, "No wonder he's so capable."

A cold glint flashed in Pang Jingyuan's eyes: "It's alright. No matter how strong he is, he's only at the 'Tiger Realm' right now. As long as he dares to leave the city—" He paused, then added meaningfully, "I have my own ways to make him submit."

Shen Tu Hao patted Sun Li on the shoulder: "Remember, you can't beat him inside the martial arts school; but in the martial world, the rules... are set by us."

After saying that, the two turned and left, their backs as cold and indifferent as iron.

Song Jing remained silent throughout, only immersing his body deeper into the scalding iron sand.

He knew that from this day forward, he would not only be facing Zhang Wu and Sun Li on the surface, but would also be regarded as a thorn in the side by the senior members of the sect.

But he felt no fear; only the flames burned ever brighter.

Are you afraid of me growing up?

Then I will grow faster, so fast that you won't have time to make a move!

In the distance, Zhou Xingyun quietly appeared, his eyes cold as he watched Shen Tuhao and the other man walk away.

"Junior brother," he said softly, "they are very hostile towards you, perhaps because of my friendship with Senior Brother Zhuo."

Ever since I saw the Zhang family's name on the ledger and knew that they had frequent business dealings, I had been on guard.

Song Jing wiped the sweat from his face and said calmly, "I also noticed it, but since I have already received your kindness, I have no regrets. This is the price I deserve."

My junior brother already understands this; he must be even more careful in the future.

Senior Brother Zhou began to persuade them: "Ever since I told Senior Brother Zhuo and Senior Sister Lin about your past deeds, they have changed their opinion of you a lot."

Senior Brother Zhuo is a kind and compassionate person who helped me a great deal when I was at a lowly level.

Song Jingze understood that everyone was there for profit.

It's just that I demonstrated a certain value, which happened to meet the other party's needs at that moment.

Zhuo Bufan is currently being suppressed by his senior brother Li Wei, so he's probably having a tough time, as there aren't many new talents joining him.

In addition, the faction of his senior brother was full of talented people, and Zhang Wu, who was known as a genius of the martial arts school, was also helping him. This put him under great pressure, and his original situation was made even worse. The Xu family was also restrained by the Zhang family at every turn.

The Xu family and Senior Brother Zhuo are currently facing a major headache. They need manpower, otherwise they will be like frogs being slowly boiled in water, dying a slow death.

For them, losing the martial arts school competition would almost mean being eliminated, and the medicinal herb market in Xiushui Village would then belong entirely to the Zhang family, with the winner taking all.

Six days ago, Zhou Xingyun, Zhuo Bufan, and Lin Wan'er gathered in a private room of the martial arts school.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the candlelight flickered faintly in the secret room of the east wing of the Chasing Wind Martial Arts School.

Zhou Xingyun stood with his hands behind his back by the window, his knuckles unconsciously rubbing the hilt of the knife at his waist.

Zhuo Bufan sat on the wooden chair, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Lin Wan'er tightly gripped the secret letter in her sleeve, her fingertips turning slightly white.

"At first, didn't you also think he was just a lucky fishing village boy?" Zhou Xingyun suddenly asked, his voice low.

Zhuo Bufan exclaimed in surprise: "Three months ago, he was just an ordinary temporary disciple, and he really didn't think much of it."

Becoming a formal disciple at that time only made me aware of this person's name?

Later, he killed Iron Head, destroyed the Dragon and Tiger Duo, and slaughtered He Dabiao of the Black Tiger Gang.

With each turn and each step, who could have imagined that it could be accomplished in such a short time? The Chasing Wind Leg Technique has even reached a minor level of proficiency, making it comparable to yours.

Such talent is by no means inferior to Zhang Wu's; we must recruit him quickly. His current strength is probably close to that of an ordinary Iron Skin Realm cultivator!

"I wonder how strong they will be when they reach the Copper Skin Realm."

Lin Wan'er sighed softly: "When I first heard this news, I didn't believe he could kill Lei Long and Lei Hu."

Although those two were local thugs, they were still at the early stage of the Bullhide Realm, and when they joined forces, they could rival an ordinary Bullhide Realm cultivator.

He was just a newly promoted cultivator at the "Bullhide Realm," and it was a miracle he survived against these two, let alone slaughtering them like chickens and dogs.

At that time, they only looked down on Song Jing, thinking that he only had perseverance, but his talent was inferior and he would never amount to anything.

Until last night, Zhou Xingyun brought back the truth.

"He didn't rely on anything else." Zhou Xingyun turned around, his eyes sharp, and solemnly emphasized, "He relied on perseverance, meticulous observation, and the comprehension to see through the characteristics and habits of the techniques at a glance."

He slowly recounted the Battle of Xincheng Mountain:

"Junior Brother Song, having quickly mastered the 'Chasing Wind Leg Technique,' fought against He Dabiao, constantly wearing down He Dabiao's stamina through a protracted battle until He Dabiao was exhausted."

Constantly seek opportunities to attack their weaknesses, deplete their strength during the game, conserve your own energy, and finally achieve victory in one fell swoop.

One leg broke his ribs, another palm shattered his heart meridian—clean and efficient.

After the war, they could also frame the rebels, search the corpses and loot the bags, and even thoroughly search the secret rooms of the branch headquarters.

Moreover, even if the Black Tiger Gang suspected or knew about it, they had no evidence and only dared to act secretly, not openly.

The room was deathly silent.

Lin Wan'er gasped: "This young man is so mature for his age. I underestimated him last time. Fortunately, we have never had any conflicts with him and we are on good terms."

Zhuo Bufan's face turned ashen, devoid of any remaining contempt: "I've been at the Chasing Wind Martial Arts School for ten years, and I've seen countless geniuses. Some started learning martial arts at three and entered the Iron Skin Sect at twenty. But there has never been a single person who had mastered the Chasing Wind Leg Technique by the age of nineteen!"

He suddenly stood up: "If this boy survives to the martial arts competition, the Xiushui Martial Arts Academy will surely become famous!"

Zhou Xingyun nodded: "I believe Junior Brother Song even has the potential to join a sect!"

Lin Wan'er bit her lip: "It's too difficult for sects. The Chasing Wind Martial Arts School hasn't produced a single disciple for many years."

Zhuo Bufan echoed, "It's absolutely impossible for them to join a sect. Over the years, those who have joined sects in Xiushui Village have all been masters who have reached the Copper Skin Realm of the Forging Skin Perfection stage, possess multiple martial arts techniques, and some have even broken through to the second stage and cultivated Ming Jin."

The three exchanged glances, needing no further explanation—the enemy of my enemy is my friend. At least the conflict between the martial arts schools had gained some dynamism, and perhaps there was a chance for a turnaround.

They had decided to befriend Song Jing: "This thirty taels of silver is a token of my goodwill. I have no demands; it's just a way to make friends. Please ask Junior Brother Zhou to pass it on for me."
