Chapter 10 Meng Sheng
Chapter 10 Meng Sheng
"Please have the senior brother examine it."
"Come with me."
Yue Shan did not raise any questions, but instead led Chen Ran directly to the outer courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, the new disciples were relentlessly pounding their fists on the wooden stakes in front of them.
They were quite puzzled when they saw their senior brother Yue Shan and Chen Ran.
"Bring a wooden stake over here."
Upon hearing Yue Shan's words, the quick-witted disciples below immediately brought up the wooden training stakes in front of them.
The disciples below, no longer focused on training, gathered around, eager to know what had happened.
From the disciples at the front, most of them knew what had happened.
A variety of expressions arose, including amazement, envy, jealousy, and doubt.
Discussions arose among the students at the boxing gym.
Even the usually dignified Yue Shan didn't say anything.
If Chen Ran really succeeds in breaking through, it will be a great publicity for the boxing gym.
It can further boost their confidence.
"Activate the power of your internal energy and blood, and launch a fierce attack on the wooden stake."
Chen Ran didn't speak, but instead gathered his strength.
Under his control, the power of qi and blood within his body surged continuously towards his hands.
Yue Shan raised an eyebrow and slowly took a few steps back.
Below, all the disciples held their breath and looked at Chen Ran.
The oldest among them has been here for a month and a half, and they have never heard of anyone breaking the limit.
They also wanted to see just how far this senior brother, who had been practicing diligently in the corner, could go.
"Bang!!!"
A loud bang was heard the moment the fist made contact with the wooden stake.
The wooden stake was smashed into several pieces, which scattered in all directions.
"Ouch!!"
"Get out of here!"
Several disciples standing at the front were affected by the aftershocks of Chen Ran's punch, clutching their chests and ankles, rolling on the ground.
"What kind of behavior is this, fighting and fooling around? Send a few people to take them to the clinic."
After casually directing a few people, Yue Shan finally turned his attention to Chen Ran.
"Good, good, good lad, I didn't expect you to actually break through the limit."
Unlike his previous indifference, this time, Yue Shan's eyes were full of appreciation and friendliness towards Chen Ran.
It takes three months to accumulate qi and blood to break through the limit.
This pace, neither too fast nor too slow, proves that Junior Brother Chen is someone who can endure loneliness and is hardworking.
With hard work and the right resources, there is still hope of breaking through the limits a second time in my lifetime.
Seeing Yue Shan's expression, Chen Ran knew that he had passed the test this time.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know the exact strength of breaking through the limit once, so he didn't use his full strength.
At first, Chen Ran was a little worried about whether he could pass the test, but now it seems that there is no problem.
"What are you looking at? This guy will be your Senior Brother Chen from now on."
Remember, learn from your senior brother Chen, cultivate diligently, and once you successfully break through your limits, you will be able to defy fate and change your destiny.
After offering a few words of encouragement, Yue Shan looked at Chen Ran.
"Alright, Junior Brother Chen, come with me to the inner courtyard."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Amidst the envious and admiring gazes of the disciples, Chen Ran followed Yue Shan into the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard was spacious, with two rows of weapon racks on the left and right, displaying eight kinds of weapons: knives, spears, halberds, clubs, axes, and hammers.
As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Ran.
Compared to the School of Foreign Languages, the number of students was much smaller, only seven or eight.
Without exception, they were all disciples who had broken through their limits once.
Among them was Meng Sheng, who greeted Chen Ran on his first day here.
"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, this is Chen Ran, who has just broken through his limits and become a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist."
From now on, he'll be our junior brother.
Upon hearing this, the crowd below stopped paying attention and went back to doing their own thing.
"Junior Brother Chen, these are your senior brothers and sisters. Get to know them first. When Master returns, I will tell him about your breakthrough."
"Thank you, senior brother."
After exchanging a few words, Yue Shan turned and left.
"I didn't expect you to actually break through. It seems my judgment of people back then was really accurate."
Meng Sheng, who had met Chen Ran once before, walked towards Chen Ran with a look of surprise on his face.
"Senior Brother Meng."
"Just call me Meng Sheng. There aren't many formalities in the boxing gym."
"It's strange that there are only a few people here. Breaking through limits is not as simple as I thought. These are most of the disciples from the gym over the past five years."
Another group holds nominal positions outside the official hierarchy, working for the organizations that hold these positions.
Meng Sheng said calmly.
"A temporary post? I would appreciate your guidance, senior brother."
Since I have such a talkative senior brother, I might as well give myself a little education.
Having just entered a completely new field, Chen Ran was essentially feeling his way across the river by trial and error, relying entirely on guesswork.
"That's true, it's normal that you don't know since you just broke through."
"You should already know from the curator what you're supposed to do next, right?"
Meng Sheng countered with a question.
"Continue to accumulate qi and blood power to complete the second breakthrough," Chen Ran said.
"That's right, it's about accumulating qi and blood to break through the limit for the second time."
The first time you break through your limits is relatively simple; it involves accumulating Qi and blood, strengthening your body, and enhancing your five senses. You should have already experienced all of this.
But the second breakthrough is different. It not only requires special cultivation methods, but also various precious elixirs to aid in cultivation. More importantly, ordinary meat is no longer effective for us; only by eating demon beast meat can we continue to accumulate the qi and blood power within our bodies. Breaking the limit again.
"And all of these require resources, which will be very expensive, extremely expensive."
And some powerful groups are willing to fund us, to let us take up temporary positions and do things for them.”
Chen Ran's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected there to be such a trick to it.
However, his blue seal was still accumulating energy, proving that ordinary meat was still useful.
"Senior brother, you must have some purpose in telling me all this, right?"
Chen Ran asked.
"Haha, junior brother is indeed clever. I am a collateral disciple of the Meng family in the city. If you want to take up a post, my Meng family will definitely not treat you unfairly."
You probably don't know this yet, but after you break through your limits today, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to hire you as a servant or a bodyguard.
So we want to recruit you first. Of course, you can also compare several options.
We can discuss things like monthly salary, but most importantly, my Meng family can provide demon beast meat.
Now, Meng Sheng revealed his purpose.
What he said was quite true, prompting Chen Ran to compare it with other options.
His upright and honest conduct earns him a good impression.
"Thank you for your clarification, Senior Brother. If I were to consider taking up a temporary post, I would consider the Meng family first."
"It seems Master is back, so I won't bother you any longer."
Meng Sheng smiled and walked towards his own little circle.
At the entrance to the inner courtyard, Zhou Changfeng, dressed in a white coat, was walking towards Chen Ran.
Unlike his previous indifferent expression, Zhou Changfeng had a smile on his face when he saw Chen Ran this time.
"That's reality, isn't it?"
Before breaking through the limit, I was just a nobody, and no one paid any attention to me.
Once they break through, their circumstances may not improve significantly, but this friendliness will absolutely not appear on their faces.
"Chen Ran, come with me."
