Chapter 99: Not in Line with My Temperant

Throughout the entire day, Chen Ming had no idea how many martial artists he had "defeated".

He had beco numb.

Whether it was a Ninth Grade, Eighth Grade, or even a Seventh Grade, none of them could withstand a single palm strike from him.

By the end, he couldn’t even be bothered to look at the pop-up prompts anymore, directly ignoring them.

Finally, by dusk, the sky was growing dark, and outside, there were still many people in line.

Many ca carrying luggage, afraid they’d miss the registration.

Gu Junrong and Wang Mingkai had to repeatedly reassure them that registration would continue tomorrow before finally managing to send them away.

Today's registration work had finally co to an end.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Chen Ming spoke to all the staff present.

"It wasn’t hard."

"Second Young Master is too polite."

"This is our duty..."

"......"

The dozen or so people present all spoke sincerely.

This Second Young Master was genuinely generous.

He hadn’t mistreated them in the slightest.

Not only was there hot tea, but also exquisite pastries.

For lunch, they even ordered directly from Drunken Immortal Tower—it was lavish.

It was just guarding the entrance and maintaining order.

Not exactly laborious work.

At so point, everyone began calling Chen Ming "Second Young Master". Once soone started, the rest followed.

It felt more familiar that way.

...

On the way back, Chen Ming opened the panel and saw that his point total had increased by over thirty thousand.

This ant that today alone, there were seven to eight hundred registrants.

However, only about a hundred obtained qualifications.

The elimination rate was even higher than in the previous days.

"Didn’t expect Jiangzhou alone to have so many martial practitioners. And all who ca were martial artists—at least of Ninth Grade cultivation."

Outside, ca Gu Junrong’s sigh.

Wang Mingkai said, "Heh, really an eye-opener. I’m afraid every Ninth Grade Martial Artist in Jiangzhou showed up."

"I recognized so faces—they definitely ca a few days ago. They didn’t qualify, were unwilling to give up, and returned to register again."

"More than just a few. There were more than ten who ca every single day. Couldn’t drive them away—shaless."

Gu Junrong said, "It’s understandable, really. This is a Third Grade Expert accepting disciples. How could anyone be willing to give up?"

"And what good does being unwilling do? The requirents were personally set by the two seniors. It’s not up to Senior Brother to decide. Coming again won’t change anything."

Listening to their conversation, Chen Ming suddenly recalled the uproar back when the news first broke in Qingfeng City.

The area outside his ho was nearly trampled flat.

Almost every disciple from the Huo Residence ca to him, wanting to register.

Regardless of whether they knew him or not—even Seventh Grade Martial Artists whom he had offended and beaten up not long ago ca thick-skinned, seeking registration slots for their children or disciples.

Chen Ming beca the most sought-after figure in Qingfeng City overnight.

The appeal of a Third Grade Expert accepting disciples to low-level martial artists was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

The whole Qingfeng City was set ablaze.

Inside Qingfeng City, nearly every martial artist under forty ca to register.

These people clearly did not et the requirents.

Their visit was in vain.

As soon as he saw soone over thirty, Chen Ming eliminated them on the spot.

The next day, they’d shave their beards and co back with fake nas, thinking he wouldn’t recognize them—leaving Chen Ming speechless.

Such people weren’t rare. He encountered them daily.

Chen Ming shook his head and stopped listening to the two's conversation. He thought, it was ti to enhance his strength.

So, he opened the panel.

【Level: 40】

【Current Points: 117564】

【Cultivation Techniques: 《Iron Horse Stance》 (Fifth Level - Perfected), 《Three Suns Body Tempering》 (Ninth Level - Perfected), 《Six Suns Qi Nurturing》 (First Level 6999/100000)】

【Martial Skills: 《Three Talents Fist》 (Mastered), Eight Trigrams Saber Technique (Mastered), Zhuang’s Flying Knife (Mastered), Swallow Returns Sword Technique (Mastered), 《Vermilion Bird Sword Technique》 (Beginner 50032/100000)】

Looking at the 110,000 experience points, Chen Ming felt slightly excited.

With this much experience, his strength would leap ahead.

He finally had enough confidence to face other Sixth Grade Martial Artists.

"Add to sword technique first!"

Previously, Chen Ming’s invincibility within his realm and rarity of rivals was due to his extrely high mastery of martial skills.

Naturally, his priority now remained upgrading martial skills.

He directly allocated fifty thousand points into 《Vermilion Bird Sword Technique》.

In an instant, a boom erupted in his mind, and countless insights surged forward.

After a long while—

When Chen Ming reopened his eyes, he saw the 《Vermilion Bird Sword Technique》 entry had changed to Proficient 32/200000.

As expected, reaching Adept required two hundred thousand experience points.

Without hesitation, he used another thirty thousand points on 《Six Suns Qi Nurturing》.

Suddenly, a terrifying wave of heat surged within his body...

...

By the ti Chen Ming returned ho, he had fully digested the increase in strength.

At that mont, his family was waiting to dine with him.

His carriage arrived at the doorstep just as the food was served.

Once he sat down, the dishes were already laid out, still steaming hot.

Eldest brother Chen Rui’s moustache had thickened, making him look more mature. His entire deanor had changed—his spirit, presence, and aura now carried greater depth and authority.

Sister-in-law Madam Wei was different as well—radiant, as if a few years younger.

Thanks to Chen Ming, she had beco a rising star among the won of Xiushui Street.

Many ca to her daily.

For the first ti, she felt like the center of attention in a social circle.

Back when she married into the Chen Family, she never imagined such a heavenly life, not even in her dreams.

After dinner, Chen Rui called Chen Ming to the study—clearly, sothing needed to be discussed.

After both brothers sat down, Chen Rui said, "Today, an old regular invited for a al. When I arrived, I saw Chief Steward Qian from Four Seas Trading Company was also there. He said all future dicinal purchases of the Four Seas Trading Company would go through Spring Harmony Hall. He didn’t ask for any conditions, but it was obvious he wants to build ties with you. So, whether to accept this business or not depends on your decision."

Chen Ming chuckled and said,"Go ahead, why wouldn’t I earn money if it’s there to be made?"

Chen Rui imdiately replied,"Alright."

"However, don’t get too close to the Four Seas Trading Company."

"Mm, I understand."

With that said, Chen Rui knew exactly where the boundaries lay.

Chen Ming thought the conversation was over and was about to leave when he noticed his elder brother seed to have more to say. He asked curiously,"Is there sothing else?"

Chen Rui hesitated for a mont but still decided to ask clearly,"Ah Ming, others say that Senior Gold Saber has already decided to take you as his disciple. Is that true?"

Chen Ming replied,"That’s just a rumor, nothing of the sort has happened."

He had naturally heard others talk about this rumor before. It was quite normal. In Qingfeng City, among the younger generation, he was the undisputed number one. Only Gu Yuantao could compare with him.

Gu Yuantao had also broken through to Sixth Grade just over a month ago and was currently in seclusion.

To others, since he had no official master, joining the tutelage of Gold Saber Li Donglin was practically a nailed-down certainty.

Chen Rui asked with confusion,"With your talent, Ah Ming, if you wished to beco his disciple, Senior Gold Saber certainly wouldn’t refuse. Why are you unwilling to take him as your master?"

This was sothing he simply could not understand.

Gold Saber Li Donglin was a Third Grade Expert, and within the entire Jiangzhou region, he was a renowned figure. Becoming his disciple would not only provide a strong backing but also the guidance of a famous master, allowing one to cultivate even faster.

It was clearly an advantageous matter, so why was Ah Ming unwilling?

Chen Ming couldn’t outright say the man wasn’t qualified to be his master, so he found an excuse instead."His saber path does not align with mine."

Bringing out such a lofty-sounding reason, Chen Rui naturally couldn’t push the issue any further.

More importantly, he trusted that his younger brother must have his own reasoning behind his actions.

……

As Chen Ming stepped into the courtyard, he suddenly sensed sothing and looked up. He saw an old man step out from the corner of the wall, clasping his hands in greeting and politely saying,"Brother Chen, I hope you’ve been well."

"Senior Gao?"

He instantly recognized the man—it was Gao Mingchuan, a Sixth Grade Martial Artist who had been well-known in the city for many years.

This man used to be an escort guard, roaming the lands in his youth. He had lived in Qingfeng City for over twenty years.

Previously, Chen Ming had visited him a few tis.

Apart from the first eting, the man had claid illness and refused to see him on the next three visits.

It was obvious he had been avoiding him.

Looking at the man now, he seed full of energy and had a sharp gaze—he didn’t look sick at all.

Gao Mingchuan said with a cheerful smile,"I dare not accept the title of senior. I’m only a few years older than you, Brother Chen. If you don’t mind, you can call Elder Brother, or just Old Gao."

He was putting himself in a very humble position.

It was truly difficult for him.

He was well into his eighties, yet he still had to lower himself before a younger man.

Chen Ming asked him,"It’s quite late, Elder Gao. What brings you to at this hour?"

"I wouldn’t presu to offer instruction. I just heard that Brother Chen ca to look for a few tis. Unfortunately, my old injuries flared up recently, and so juniors in my household turned you away at the door. I only just found out, so I ca over specifically to apologize."

"You flatter , Elder Gao."

Chen Ming replied indifferently.

Seeing that Chen Ming was unmoved, Gao Mingchuan gritted his teeth and said,"I heard that Brother Chen enjoys sparring with others. If you don’t mind this old set of bones, I would be honored to exchange a few moves."

Upon hearing that, Chen Ming exclaid with delight,"Is that true? Elder Brother, you’re really willing to spar with ?"

Seeing how fast he changed his expression, faster than flipping a page, Gao Mingchuan imdiately realized Chen Ming had been waiting for that sentence. He cursed inwardly but, for the sake of his beloved grandson, could only thicken his skin and say,"I’ve long heard that Brother Chen’s saber technique is superb. I’ve been eager to witness it myself."

After saying that, he quickly added,"By the way, I actually ca here today with a request."

Chen Ming said with a beaming smile,"Please, go ahead."

"I have a grandson with quite decent talent. He’s twenty-five this year and already at the Peak of Seventh Grade. He greatly admires Senior Li of the Gold Saber and wishes to beco his disciple. However, for so reason, he’s been unable to obtain the registration qualification. I hope Brother Chen can lend a hand."

This was the real reason why Gao Mingchuan had co to soften up.

Chen Ming patted his chest and said,"Is that so? Don’t worry, Elder Brother. Your matters are my matters. Your grandson is my… junior, of course. As long as he ets the requirents, I’ll definitely help him secure the qualification."

"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Chen."

Now that the terms were settled, Gao Mingchuan said,"No ti like the present. How about we spar right here and now?"

"Perfect timing."

As Chen Ming spoke, he went inside the house and retrieved a refined steel sword.

Seeing him bring out a sword, Gao Mingchuan was a bit puzzled.

This man was known for his saber technique—what was the aning of pulling out a sword today?

Noticing his confusion, Chen Ming smiled faintly and explained,"I suddenly feel that saber techniques don’t suit my temperant, so I’ve abandoned the saber to study the sword."
