There was no doubt that Zhong Yuchen of the Zhong family was another genius martial artist who had appeared in the public eye after me. This was understandable. Although he didn't try to steal my limelight, his domineering way of reaching the top still attracted a lot of heated discussions.
President Jin was clearly competing with Grandmaster Chen. He didn't choose geniuses from other provinces but Zhong Yuchen. I had fought with him before. To be honest, although his talent wasn't bad, it was limited to the Nan Yun Province. Once he came to the capital, he really couldn't show his face. It could be said that he was one or two levels lower than Tang Haotian of the Shangjing Martial Arts School. However, President Jin directly accepted him as his last disciple, which was a bit exaggerated.
Could it be that President Jin was confident in cultivating Zhong Yuchen?
For a moment, I was a little puzzled.
It was obvious that Curator Du had the same doubts as me. Even though he didn't know much about President Jin, according to previous examples, if the person wasn't an outstanding talent, President Jin would definitely not spare a glance for him. However, at this moment, the threshold had been lowered.
"Curator Du, what do you think of this matter?!"
I couldn't help but ask. Curator Du had a lot of experience. It wouldn't be wrong to listen to his thoughts.
"I think the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Society might want to do everything to cultivate Zhong Yuchen. He is a person who cares about his reputation. Since you have obtained supreme glory for the Guowei Martial Arts School, you have also thoroughly established Grandmaster Chen's reputation. Over the years, there has always been a conflict between the two of them. Moreover, as far as I know, the Ouyang family seems to have a close relationship with him recently. In addition, you caused such a big commotion at the Great Wall. With his temper, he won't let you go. However, due to his identity, he can't directly attack you, so he might as well do this," Curator Du analyzed calmly.
"Yes, that makes sense. Using a genius from the Nan Yun Province to defeat me is the wisest choice."
I couldn't help but admit that Director Du's words made sense and coincided with my thoughts. However, my doubts didn't disappear. Since President Jin did this, he should have some confidence. As for what his trump card was, I didn't know.
After all, nothing was too strange in this boundless world. Previously, old man Ouyang had used Lone Wolf's corpse to create a Corpse Puppet with great destructive power. This had refreshed my knowledge. If it wasn't for the Hellfire Mirror, I might have been decapitated on the spot.
Even I felt that I was really lucky to have survived one calamity after another. The last dojo challenge was especially dangerous. Actually, the martial arts big shots in the capital had a lot of doubts about my final radiance before death. Because some things were beyond the scope of what science could explain.
I was obviously dead, but I miraculously came back to life after a short while. Not only that, but I also beat up Zhou Zi 'ang to the point where he couldn't fight back at all, and finally sent him to heaven. Many people at the scene thought that I should have experienced some sort of mutation, and no one knew what I had experienced in that temporary state of suspended animation.
"No matter what, you have to be careful. The reason I called you is to remind you. Oh right, I got a short video from Chu Zhou City. Although it was destroyed, I found a professional hacker to fix it. Unfortunately, the video is very blurry, and I can only vaguely see that it was done by a man with a head full of red hair. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the Blood Demon. As for his appearance, it was shrouded in a bloody aura, so I couldn't see it clearly. I suspect that he has found another body and is preparing to continue increasing his strength," Curator Du said in a serious tone.
"What is the current strength of the Blood Demon?" I frowned. I also realized that this was not an ordinary problem.
"My preliminary conclusion is that he is stronger than me, but slightly weaker than Grandmaster Chen. According to the records, the Blood Demon practices a supreme demonic art. He is vicious and overbearing, and his cultivation speed is also very fast. But you don't have to worry too much. The current cultivation environment should have a certain restrictive effect on him," Curator Du said ambiguously.
"What do you mean?"
I suddenly remembered something. A while ago, I went out with Guan Ruolan to play. After a day of sightseeing, I learned a lot. Then, I had an epiphany, and my damaged Dantian recovered. It was a blessing in disguise, and I entered the stage of HuaJin Master. However, during the process, I encountered some obstacles, especially the black substance. It deliberately hindered my breakthrough. If it wasn't for my previous experience in cultivating Qi-Jin, it would have been difficult for me to succeed. Moreover, I sacrificed a drop of Pure Yang blood essence to completely destroy the black substance.
Then, Curator Du explained to me that the reason why there were so few HuaJin Masters in the martial world today was because the process of entering HuaJin Master from the peak of HuaJin Master was extremely dangerous. There was something called the power of evil spirits that pulled on the martial artist's Dantian, keeping it in a swollen state.
As everyone knew, from the peak of HuaJin Master to HuaJin Master, the martial artist's Dantian would constantly grow in size to absorb more Qi-Jin. However, it wouldn't expand endlessly. If a martial artist wanted to enter HuaJin Master, he would have to condense his Dantian to the size of a winter date.
It was already a great challenge for martial artists. If there was even the slightest mistake, it would be easy for the martial artist to go berserk. Moreover, with the power of evil spirits, the probability of breaking through was less than 20%, and this was only for those who were extremely talented. Moreover, every failure would cause the martial artist's Dantian to be corroded, and it would cause different degrees of damage to the martial artist. If it was light, the martial artist would lose his cultivation, and if it was heavy, he would go berserk.
This was also the reason why many martial artists stopped at the peak of HuaJin Master and didn't dare to continue cultivating. It wasn't because they weren't hardworking, but because the risk was too great. Many people sighed at their inadequacy and stopped there.
I soon understood that the black substance in the Dantian was the power of evil spirits that Curator Du had mentioned. As for where this thing came from, he couldn't explain it either.
After talking about this, Curator Du couldn't help but sigh. "Xiao Zhuang, as I said before, you have benefited from your misfortune. Comparatively speaking, martial artists with internal strength are much luckier. Although their power system isn't perfect, they can be free from the corrosion of evil spirits. As long as their talent is not bad and they work hard enough, it's not impossible for them to step into the Fifth or even Sixth Grade Grandmaster Realm. Not to mention a freak like you who hasn't appeared in the world for a hundred years. Based on my intuition, perhaps it won't take long for you to surpass Old Chen!
The pupil has indeed surpassed the master! "
