31 Fourth Stage of Cast Tripod Realm (1/2)
”Bang!”
Jiang Yi's body crashed heavily onto the floor; the back of his head even made brief contact with the floor. But he could obviously feel that Leng Qianqian withdrew some strength in her fist, or else his ribs would have been shattered.
”Haha! My Dragon Elephant Fist is finally at Phenomenal Stage! This hundred taels purple gold is well spent. Lone Wolf, you are seriously amazing…”
Jiang Yi just managed to stand up, but Leng Qianqian shot towards him again, bringing along another fist to his chest. Jiang Yi's body was sent flying again with a 'boom', just like a kite.
”Ss, ss…”
Jiang Yi's edge of the mouth twitched in pain. He struggled to stand again, just to see Leng Qianqian dashing at him violently. He then frantically shouted, ”Since I helped you achieve Phenomenal Stage for your martial skill, why are you hitting me?”
”Haha! Lone Wolf, sorry about that!”
Leng Qianqian let out two heartily laughs, fists flying across like shooting stars. A voice that was like the 'gong' of the bell rang again. ”I like hitting people when I am angry. When I am happy… I too like to hit people! Just bear with me!”
Mad bitch!
Jiang Yi cursed silently. He could see Leng Qianqian's fist approaching again so he shouted in panic, ”Hold on, Miss Leng. My martial skills were just learned a few days ago. If you have the guts to wait for a few days, shall we see who will be beaten up?”
”Just a few days? Are you sure you can defeat me?” Leng Qianqian's fist stopped in mid-air. She saw the unwilling expression from Jiang Yi and withdrew her punch. ”Sure, I shall wait a few days for you! If you still can't defeat me by then, I will beat you up so badly that your mom can't recognize you.”
Jiang Yi stood up. He nodded as he gently rubbed on his aching chest. ”It is a promise, but you have to restrain your strength like now because your cultivation stage is much higher than mine…”
”Sure!”
Leng Qianqian smirked and thoughtlessly reached out her hand. She pulled on the robes of Jiang Yi and walked out. She was smiling as she walked and said, ”Come, kid. This sister is pleased today and shall treat you to some wine. We shall not return until we are drunk. Heh heh, I shall see how will that Tingyu hussy defeat me during the recruitment ceremony of the Mt. Spirit Beast College?”
No wonder this young mistress is as equally famous as Ji Tingyu. Her temperament is too intrepid!
Jiang Yi sighed in his heart but rejected: ”I still need to continue my sparring sessions. Do you think I am like you? You are an invaluable young mistress while I am just a lowly sparring partner.”
”Is it like this? Sure, I will come back to look for you then.”
Leng Qianqian nodded and didn't force Jiang Yi. She picked up her long robes and energetically walked out. She then reached out her hand and patted on Manager Yang's shoulder while laughing. ”Old Yang, your sparring partner ain't half bad. This hundred taels purple gold is worth it.”
Leng Qianqian's words excited those young masters and mistresses who were waiting in the queue. She was affirmed that Jiang Yi did have the ability to help others to achieve Phenomenal Stage on their martial skills, which further increased the queue.
Jiang Yi recuperated for two hours before going in the room again. It was lucky that the other two partners weren't as valiant as Leng Qianqian, which he could deal with ease.
After three sessions, Manager Yang allowed Jiang Yi the rest that he needed. He rejected all the subsequent requests and asked Jiang Yi to go back to his room for rest. Manager Yang knew that having a long-term plan would be much better. If Jiang Yi was to be overworked or injured, it wouldn't be worthwhile. He would rather continue having only three sparring sessions a day to bring up the expectations of these young masters and mistresses.
Jiang Yi was rather relieved. Having only to go for three sessions a day allowed him sufficient time to cultivate and recuperate. If he had to spar a dozen sessions a day like before, he would probably be worked to death.
For the next few days, Jiang Yi would spar for three sessions in the mornings. He would then cultivate without any rest during the afternoons and evenings. The days passed by peacefully. He didn't need to utilize any of the Jiang Clan's martial skills either. He would only rely on the Extreme Divine Steps and Buddha Palm to fight his opponents. Without the appearance of the top ten prodigies, Jiang Yi could easily deal with his opponents using his current strength.
What made Jiang Yi displeased was that there were members from the Ma and Jiang Clan within the queue for his sparring sessions. Once they knew of a sparring partner who could help assist martial artists achieve Phenomenal Stage on their martial skills, various clans sent their elite clansmen to the Martial Arts Hall.
Jiang Yi fought rather awkwardly against the members of the Ma and the Jiang Clan as he was constantly worrying that they would recognize by him.
But Jiang Yi's worries were redundant. Except for the Jiang clansmen of collateral lineage, those elites didn't even see him in the eyes. He was now wearing a mask and using the martial skills from the Martial Arts Hall, how could anyone recognize him? As for the Ma Clan, apart from Ma Fei, the rest of them would naturally be unable to tell that he was Jiang Yi. What's more, Ma Fei's dantian was ruined, why would he be at the Martial Arts Hall?
A few days later, young mistress Leng Qianqian, who was even more intrepid than most men, didn't appear anymore. It was unknown whether she went into training seclusion again. Jiang Yi was rather pleased and at ease. But even if she was to come again, he wasn't afraid, because… his Extreme Divine Steps and Buddha Palm were already at Phenomenal Stage.
Could it really be the effects of the black essence force?
Jiang Yi was full of suspicion himself. Even with his exceptional instincts, he wouldn't be able to achieve Phenomenal Stage for two man-tier superior grade martial skills, using just a few days of sparring sessions. Could he truly possess an Astral Body of the Earth? But if he truly had the Astral Body of the Earth, why wasn't he able to comprehend martial skills so quickly like this?
