Chapter 1109
Shen Jingyi laughed lightly, “There is nothing inconvenient about it, I didn’t mention him before just because I didn’t think it was necessary, since you guys want to know, it’s actually nothing to talk about it.”
In fact, even if Ji Feng didn’t ask, Shen Jingyi was prepared to make this matter clear to Zhang Lei. Because Zhang Lei’s performance in the school grove today had already made Shen Jingyi very worried, she was worried that Zhang Lei would suddenly become impulsive again one day, and when Ji Feng was not present in time, there would be no one who could persuade him.
The first time I saw him, I was able to see that he was a very strong and agile person, but compared to Tan Shao, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, there is still a big gap, so it is Zhang Lei who will suffer.
However, Shen Jingyi can also see that Zhang Lei is not a person who is willing to suffer a loss, if he suffers a loss, when the time comes, in case Tan Shao has two more sarcastic words, he may really do something stupid, then it will be too late to regret.
So ever since she saw Zhang Lei’s impulse in the grove just now, Shen Jingyi had decided that she would tell him the original story.
“That young Tan, what’s his real name?” Zhang Lei asked.
“This person’s name is Tan Tianfeng, in fact he is the fourth young master of the Tan family.” Shen Jingyi said, “Because he is the fourth oldest in the younger generation, so everyone else calls him Tan Fourth Younger too.”
“Fourth Young Master Tan …… is still called Young Master Tan?
He sounds like a stinky guy, he’s also from a martial arts family, right? I haven’t heard of this character before!” Zhang Lei asked.
“That’s right, the Tan family itself is an ancient martial arts family, martial arts have been pa*sed down from generation to generation, until now the Tan family is still one of the more powerful families in the martial world!” Shen Jingyi nodded and said, “The head of the Tan family, is said to be an expert of the Innate Realm, and the elders below are all late Houtian, or even peak Houtian experts, the family has many children and is very strong!”
“What is this called!” Zhang Lei spread his hands, “And martial arts family …… the more I hear, the more I feel like a gang on the road?”
“What are you talking about!” Shen Jingyi gave him a blank look and said, “People from martial arts families don’t kill or set fire to people, and they don’t dare to do anything illegal, how can they be the same as those gangs in the Dao?!”
Ji Feng then laughed as he asked, “So …… how do people from martial arts families survive? I mean, what do they all do to make a living?”
When he was in Yuezhou a few days ago, Ji Feng learned from those two guys from the Qingshan Clan that many of the sons and daughters of the Qingshan Clan were policemen and soldiers, and some were even bodyguards …… should I say guards for some big leaders.
Ji Feng preached and felt that this was actually a relatively good way to make a living, and even if time goes on, such a sect may develop into a big power.
Just imagine, the military, the police and the guards around the leaders are all their people, so who wouldn’t give a few face?
If they want to do anything, then it’s not just a matter of words?
“In fact, when you mention martial arts families nowadays, you must think that it’s like what’s shown on TV, where all the sects are in the mountains, relying on their own land or doing something else to make a living, right?”
Shen Jingyi pursed her lips and said, “In fact, the martial arts families nowadays have developed differently, the vast majority of them have gone into business, while some will send their sons to join the military or the police. For example, the Tan family, their family runs both a business and a martial arts school, while also having a large number of their sons and daughters join the military and the police!”
“In that case, the power of these martial arts families is really not small, and they can really exert a lot of energy at critical moments!” Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully.
“Yes, many martial arts families are very strong, of course, there are also some small martial arts families, but also just a small fight, and their own family also does not have any decent strong people sitting in the town, such is also equivalent to a complete decline.” Shen Jingyi said.
“These martial arts families are doing business and joining the military, so aren’t they just not doing their jobs?” Zhang Lei laughed and asked, “Why is this still called a martial family? Wouldn’t it be better to simply call it an ordinary family?”
“It’s still not the same.” Shen Jingyi shook her head, “If there are masters in the family, at least those people on the road will give face and not dare to come and cause trouble, so there will be less trouble in doing business. Moreover, since it is a martial arts family, there will definitely be a part of people who are not doing other things, specializing in martial arts and hitting higher realms, these people, too, are the most intermediate power of each family!”
Ji Feng nodded and said, “In that case, in fact, these martial arts families are nothing mysterious, they also have to eat, just that kung fu is better than ordinary people, in fact, they are also all ordinary people, and they are not noble, is that right?”
“…… can say so!” Shen Jingyi nodded, but felt that, Ji Feng’s words were a bit uncomfortable to hear, in his words, he seemed to be a bit repulsive to martial arts families ah.
“Ha!”
Zhang Lei then instantly harrumphed: “In that case, that what what young master and so on, how did this name come about? To put it nicely, this is just some bosses, only the family has a larger population, and some kids also like to dance with guns and sticks, so if outsiders come to bully, these kids will go and beat people up, and save having to hire security guards and fighters again.”
“But if we put it more harshly, this is a group of martial artists who want to turn into businessmen and think about making money too, right?” Zhang Lei laughed heatedly, “Jing Yi, don’t be thankful, I’m not talking about you.”
Shen Jingyi glared at Zhang Lei in good humour and amus*ment, but a bitter smile appeared on her face, how come both Ji Feng and Zhang Lei seemed to have a rejection of martial arts families, as if they were happy to belittle them!
“Ji Feng, Zhang Lei, why do you both look down on martial arts families?” Shen Jingyi asked suspiciously, “Why exactly is that?”
“That’s not true!”
Ji Feng shook his head and laughed, “It’s not that we look down on martial arts families, but we feel that when people from martial arts families come out, they all do things too openly, and are really not much different from those criticized fops. This feeling is like …… martial arts families are all like gods hidden in the deep mountains and forests, and when they come out, we, the mortals, have to kowtow and bow to them.”
“But the problem is, the parents and families of those fops, well at least they are capable, they either make achievements in the business field, or in politics, but, those martial arts families, what have they done?” Zhang Lei took over, “Fops are criticised, and people like that so-and-so Tan Shao and the like should likewise be despised!”
Shen Jingyi then had nothing to say, she had to admit that what Zhang Lei said did have some truth to it, as far as she knew, there were many sons and daughters of martial arts families who acted with an arrogance that was even more excessive than those fops.
“Alright, the topic has gone too far again.” Zhang Lei waved his hand and asked, “Jingyi, what’s going on between you and that Tan …… Tan Tianfeng?”
As soon as this issue was brought up, a helpless look sprang up on Shen Jingyi’s pretty face.
She shook her head and said, “When it comes to this matter, it is still my second master’s fault, I was just born, my family set up a baby marriage with the Tan family under the second master’s great efforts, although it was only verbal back then, it was not too formal, but because our two families have a good relationship, so …… ”
“So both families also acquiesced, you are both a doll’s marriage and a childhood friend!”
Zhang Lei nodded and said in a serious manner, “Well, it’s similar to what we guessed before, but it’s usually hard for people who are childhood friends to be together.”
“Why?” Ji Feng asked with a smile, “Or is it that protagonist theory of yours? What female protagonist ends up liking the male protagonist?”
“Yes! Isn’t that what they all do on TV?” Zhang Lei laughed, “In Shen Jingyi’s life force, I’m the real male lead, specializing in stealing her away from her childhood friend, and, I’m still on the side of justice!”
Shen Jingyi could not help but give him a blank look, but did not say anything, obviously acquiescing to Zhang Lei’s words.
“Actually, there are other differences between a martial family and an ordinary family, such as the family rules are particularly strict, and people in martial families value old traditions, and are concerned about the right family and so on!” Shen Jingyi said, “That’s why I told Zhang Lei to hurry up and practice, hoping to have a stunning performance, and then my parents would beg for mercy, and the family wouldn’t object too much. But ……”
“There’s no buts or nos!” Zhang Lei harrumphed, “Jing Yi, just rest a*sured, the madman has already said that in half a year’s time at most, I will definitely be able to reach the middle Houtian stage as you said, by then no difficulty will be a difficulty anymore!”
“I hope so ……” Shen Jingyi nodded her head, but in her heart she couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.
In half a year’s time, how could one possibly reach the middle Houtian stage from an ordinary person who hadn’t practiced domestic gongfu?
This was obviously impossible!
From the very beginning, Shen Jingyi had never had any confidence in the set of body-building exercises that Ji Feng had taught Zhang Lei, even though she was amazed by Ji Feng’s hands, but the division of the level of the middle Houtian stage was not only based on the strength of his hands.
Yes, Ji Feng was very powerful now, and if he were to just wheel his body hands, he should be able to reach the mid-Hind Heaven level.
But what about in thirty years, what about in fifty years?
When his hair is grey and he is old, will he still be so powerful?
And those internal masters of martial arts families, there are many who are still very powerful in kung fu even when they reach their 60s and 70s! And the older they are, the more profound their internal kung fu becomes, even many young people are no match for them.
In the martial arts world, the ranking of a martial artist is based on one hand, and on the other hand, it is also based on the profundity of internal strength.
Of course, generally people with profound internal strength were absolute experts as long as they weren’t fools and learned practical combat techniques!
“Ji Feng, tell me the truth, how far can Zhang Lei practice that body building exercise of yours in the end?” Shen Jingyi looked at Ji Feng and asked frankly, “Zhang Lei and you are the best of brothers, I hope you can give me a bottom line, can you?”
Chapter 1110
“To what kind of point?”
Ji Feng smiled, couldn’t help but shake his head and smiled, saying, “Frankly speaking, I don’t know myself exactly what kind of point I can reach. However, for that middle Houtian stage you mentioned, I think …… it’s still very easy to reach!”
“You want to?”
Shen Jingyi said with some bitterness, “Ji Feng, this is not a question of whether you want to or not, but to give me an affirmative answer!”
“Then I can’t say.” Ji Feng spread both hands and said with a smile, “The same kung fu, different people go to practice it, then in the end they may not all achieve the same thing, don’t you think so? Anyway, I do think that the set of body building exercises that I practice is very good, look at those so-called martial arts masters, weren’t they also beaten down by me in three punches and two kicks?!”
“That’s because you haven’t met a real expert!”
Shen Jingyi said helplessly, “Ji Feng, I already told you just now, a real martial arts expert is not that the younger you are, the more powerful you are, nor is it that the more muscles you have on your body, the more powerful you are. Inner martial arts masters, all grow deeper and deeper with age, and that’s when they are most powerful!”
This was what Shen Jingyi was most worried about, if a person didn’t have internal strength, then as soon as he pa*sed his peak age, the whole person would start to decline, so if Zhang Lei didn’t know how to use internal strength, his family basically wouldn’t even consider it.
“I know, you’ve just said it!”
Ji Feng nodded, “However, I really don’t know exactly what can be achieved by practicing body building exercises, but there is one thing I can be sure of, as long as Lei Zi keeps practicing so persistently and constantly, in half a year’s time at most, he will definitely be able to reach the middle Houtian realm.”
“Are you really so sure?” Shen Jingyi asked.
“Definitely!”
Ji Feng nodded, “Moreover, as long as Lei Zi keeps insisting, a higher realm is not impossible, maybe after a few years, he will accidentally reach the innate realm you mentioned ……”
“……” Shen Jingyi wouldn’t want to say anything, she could only laugh bitterly.
The Innate Realm, was it that easy to reach?
If a family could have a few experts at the Innate Realm, they would be treated like ancestors, moreover, which one of those who could reach the Innate Realm was not a person of amazing beauty? Even so, it would take them decades to cultivate before they could finally reach the Ascendant realm, and that was not always the case.
There are many who even work hard for a lifetime and still cannot reach the Ascendant realm.
But such a profound realm was actually so easy to say in Ji Feng’s mouth, this was really ignorant and fearless!
Looking at Shen Jingyi’s speechless expression, Ji Feng hesitated slightly in his heart and couldn’t help but say, “If I tell you guys that I’m an innate expert, then do you believe me?”
“No!”
Shen Jingyi shook her head straight away, not to mention whether Ji Feng had that qualification and potential, just looking at some of the current innate experts, which of them were not even white in the beard? Occasionally there are a few who reach the Ascended Realm in their middle age, and their families or sects are like a treasure.
Ji Feng is a Xiantian master?
Please, don’t make such a joke, okay …… it’s not even funny!
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, the key is whether I have the strength!” Ji Feng laughed.
In fact, he himself really did not want to talk about his own strength, especially in front of Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi, although the two brothers can almost say that they have nothing to say, but now Zhang Lei is most eager for strength, after all.
A pair of friends, in terms of what both of them need the most, it is best not to have too big a gap, especially if this need is still something that cannot be given away.
Otherwise, it is likely that inadvertently, the kind of gap between the two will appear, when the heart will always subconsciously feel some unnatural, and over time, the divide will come out.
It is for this reason that Ji Feng has never mentioned his true strength, just to avoid such a situation.
But now, he felt that it was time to give Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi some confidence.
So he asked, “Jingyi, how powerful are the innate experts in your martial arts world?”
“How powerful?”
Shen Jingyi couldn’t help but be stunned, her eyebrows knitted and she thought for a moment before shaking her head and saying, “I really can’t describe it to you, just intuitively speaking, but all the experts who have reached the Innate realm, the true qi in their bodies can be released externally, because the direction of cultivation is different, so everyone’s strength is also different, for example, those who are good at light body kung fu can fly the eaves and walk the walls, although it is a bit exaggerated! but it’s not impossible!”
“Can they break a rock with one punch?” Ji Feng asked.
“That’s certainly no problem, not to mention the stone, their speed, strength, are terrifyingly scary …… specifically I can’t describe it to you, but, they are very scary, there is no doubt about it!” Shen Jingyi said.
Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully and then laughed, “Then what, I might actually be an innate expert already ……”
“Eh?”
Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi froze at the same time, and then the two of them lost their laughter.
“Alright madman, hurry up and drink!” Zhang Lei laughed, “Let’s not talk about whether you become an innate expert or not.”
“Yes, let’s eat!” Shen Jingyi also laughed.
“……”
The first time I saw a person who was an expert in a martial arts field, I didn’t know how powerful they were, but if we go by Shen Jingyi’s standard that an expert in the innate realm can automatically absorb energy from the outside world and release his true qi, he was really an expert in the innate realm!
However, Shen Jingyi and Zhang Lei did not believe, and Ji Feng could not do anything about it, because they did not give Ji Feng a chance to argue, and Zhang Lei directly picked up a cup and drank with him.
“…… Bottoms up!” Ji Feng shook his head helplessly and clinked a cup with Zhang Lei, before tilting his head and drinking.
On the contrary, Bai Spider, who was next to him, had a surprised look flash in her beautiful eyes when Ji Feng said that he might be an innate expert, and then, she seemed to have a dawning feeling.
Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi did not believe that Ji Feng was an innate expert, however, White Spider believed his words.
This was because White Spider had seen, more than once, with her own eyes, Ji Feng’s battle with a high-level Transformer, the kind of fierce battle where the slightest carelessness would kill him on the spot. No one knew better than her how terrifying the transformers were.
However, Ji Feng was at ease, his fist hitting that Transformer’s body could even kill those Transformers who were so powerful that they could easily lift a car, on the spot!
With such terrifying power, could he not be considered an innate expert?
Even now, White Spider still remembered very clearly that when she and Xiang Yongzhan and the others were trapped in the isolated island, Ji Feng led his men to rescue them.
In particular, Ji Feng had fought two senior reformers alone and eventually captured them alive, a strength that White Spider had never seen before.
At least within the dynasty, White Spider hadn’t found anyone who could compete with Ji Feng in terms of single combat ability.
If we go by Xiang Yongzhan’s words, Ji Feng was a guy who was so strong that he was perverted!
These were Xiang Yongzhan’s exact words!
From this, one could see how strong Ji Feng really was.
Could such a person still be no match for those so-called innate experts in the martial arts world? White Spider didn’t quite believe it, she had come into contact with people who knew internal martial arts before, and she didn’t find them that powerful!
However, Shen Jingyi would not say these words, she was Ji Feng’s bodyguard, so she would definitely not talk too much.
All the way until the four of them were full of wine and food, Ji Feng didn’t have the chance to make a defence, seeing that both Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi didn’t believe it, he wasn’t going to say much more, as long as Zhang Lei still insisted on practicing body building exercises, then there was nothing to worry about.
As time went on, Zhang Lei’s strength would definitely get stronger and stronger, and by then he would understand that he should not be lying. And by that time, maybe Zhang Lei had even entered the innate realm directly, and I’m afraid that would scare Shen Jingyi’s jaw off!
When he thought of that scenario, Ji Feng couldn’t help but secretly shake his head and smile, he was quite looking forward to seeing that scene.
After dinner, Ji Feng got up and went to settle the bill, and then he sent Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi back to the school dormitory together with the white spider. After sending Shen Jingyi back to the dormitory, Zhang Lei planned to go straight back to the dormitory.
“Lei Zi!”
Ji Feng called out to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Make sure you stick to practicing gymnastics, also, if that whatever Tan Tianfeng is looking for trouble with you in the near future, avoid him if you can, there’s no shame in giving in for now. If you really can’t avoid it, then call me immediately, I should stay in Jiangzhou for the near future.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do!” Zhang Lei laughed.
Ji Feng, however, could not possibly be at ease, he knew this guy’s temperament too well, don’t look at his words of promise, but in reality, once this guy encountered Tan Tianfeng’s provocation, even if he knew that he couldn’t beat the other party, he would definitely not give in to softness.
So after deliberating for a moment, Ji Feng said: “Forget it, you also do not call me, let’s do this …… after the exam, I will go with you to send Shen Jingyi, and then I will directly take you to my home, of course, you want to go back to Yanjing can also be, anyway, this period of time you do not stay in school! ”
Zhang Lei couldn’t help but be stunned, “Crazy, it’s not that serious, right? Is that Tan Tianfeng really going to come looking for trouble with me?”
“What do you think?!”
Ji Feng asked rhetorically, “Since he can find someone to follow you, what else can he not do? Since he’s already investigated you and still found someone to follow you, what else is it if he’s not trying to get at you?”
In fact, ever since he had caught the guy who was following Zhang Lei and asked for some information, Ji Feng had already had this guess.
In fact it wasn’t hard to guess!
