Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 43 - 41 Geniuses Have Always Come from

“Even hearing someone nearby talk about him could scare them into wetting their pants.”

The crowd was captivated by Zhang Jing’s narration.

Zhang Jing took another sip of tea and squinted his eyes as he slowly said, “At that time, many martial artists and knight-errants couldn’t stand that scoundrel.

“They were confident in their exceptional martial strength and took the initiative to surround and eradicate that murderer, Chen Daren.

“But as soon as they exchanged blows, they discovered that Chen Daren seemed indeed like the demons of legends, impervious to swords and spears, and possessed immense strength!

“The martial artists’ attacks on Chen Daren were like merely scratching an itch for him.

“Wherever his long blade passed, there were broken limbs and severed tendons, killing people as if slaughtering chickens.

“Later, a nimble knight-errant attempted to exhaust Chen Daren through guerrilla tactics.

“However, to their horror, it seemed like the maniac had endless energy!

“After running amok for a long time, the knight-errant was extremely tired, but Chen Daren wasn’t panting or flushed.

“Taking advantage of the knight-errant’s brief rest, he sliced off his head with one swing of his blade.”

Zhang Jing shook his head and said, “Chen Daren’s notoriety in Hui Province grew louder, and local bandits and robbers flocked to him, appointing him as the Chief Executive.

“With Chen Daren’s formidable martial strength and the rough terrain to their advantage, they repelled the Officials’ army multiple times.

“Chen Daren grew even more arrogant, even declaring the slogan ‘taking turns to be the emperor’ and preparing to rebel!

“Seeing the situation getting out of hand, The Officials urgently reported it up to the Imperial Court.

“Coincidentally, that Great Grandmaster from the Innate Realm was traveling near Hui Province, so the court requested the Great Grandmaster to take action.

“The Great Grandmaster went personally to the bandit stronghold, killing his way in, with dead bodies everywhere.

“After exchanging three blows with Chen Daren, he was astonished to find that Chen Daren was not really a martial artist at all!

“He hadn’t even practiced any cultivation techniques, knowing only some superficial martial techniques.

“Yet the Qi and blood within his body were like a great river, endless and mighty, unmatched by anyone below the Innate level!

“Even the Great Grandmaster had to exert some effort to capture him!”

“After capturing him, Chen Daren confessed that he had been inexplicably strong since childhood, his blood boiling like a furnace, which was quite terrifying.

“During his youth, when two countries were at war, his parents, having some savings, worried about him going to the battlefield and instructed him not to reveal his strength.

“They bribed the recruiting officer to let someone else take his place.

“After his parents passed away, Chen Daren took over the slaughtering business, but soon developed a gambling addiction and squandered all his wealth.

“One day, while drunk, he got into a verbal altercation, angered, he killed a man on the street, and even killed the arresting officer who came to capture him, fleeing the city.

“Before this, he had hidden his monstrous strength for a long time, unaware of his own power.

“Only after killing several people continuously did he realize he held great power and could control others’ life and death, which led to his arrogance.

“Ultimately, he drew the attention of the Great Grandmaster.

As the crowd looked on in amazement, Zhang Jing sighed and said,

“When it came to cultivation techniques, Chen Daren was completely clueless.

“Even the martial techniques he knew were only acquired from the bandits under his command after gathering in the mountains. He practiced them secretly every night, so they were incredibly crude.”

“The Great Grandmaster listened and slapped his thigh, sighing endlessly.

“He kept saying, ‘This fellow is truly a rare talent of the century, such a pity to be ruined by shortsighted views!

“Had he been discovered by a martial artist in his youth, he would surely have secured a place in the martial world in the future!

“Even the Great Grandmaster said, had he taken him as a disciple during Chen Daren’s childhood, he wouldn’t have worried about passing on his legacy after his death!”

Having said that, Zhang Jing looked at Chu Feng’s retreating figure, his eyes blazing with emotion:

“Watching Chu Feng’s performance, I can’t help but be reminded of Chen Daren; the two are very much alike!

“Both dominated the Foundation Establishment during their Martial Apprentice period and were nearly unbeatable below the Innate level, truly rare martial arts geniuses of the century!

“Though my Zhang Family also has its share of talents, the true geniuses still emerge from humble beginnings!”

The representatives from other forces glanced at each other, noticing the changing flush on their faces and a different air about them.

Representative Chu Zhengming from the Demon Extermination Army, half-jokingly and half-seriously banged the table, “Let’s not fight over this, we’re taking this Chu Feng!

“Nobody else compete with us!”

However, Ji Feiyang laughed and backstabbed, “Brother, that’s not how you say it.

“His parents were sacrificed as part of the Demon Extermination Army; having him join would only remind him of them and add to his sorrow.

“It’s better for him to join our Demon Annihilation Army. He can carry on his parents’ legacy, protect the mighty Longhua, and fully exploit his potential in spiritual power!

“After all, it’s too difficult for us to face the Demon Clan, and we have too few good seeds with strong spiritual power.”

Chu Zhengming jumped up, “Old Ji, that’s not fair! What happened to being brother troops! Our relationship is cooling after today!”

At this point, Rong Wanyun intervened with a coy laugh, “Oh, you two shouldn’t be arguing.

“We still don’t know Chu Feng’s thoughts. Why bother fighting and hurting feelings for nothing?”

But then she changed the tune, “This Chu Feng is quite hot-headed, and he has poor compliance.

“It seems that joining either of you might not quite suit him.

“It might be better for him to come to our Everlasting Technology; he can enjoy the utmost freedom and best treatment…”

Jiang Yunkong interjected with a smile that hid barbs: “Your company’s contracts are quite restrictive; I heard that a small mistake could land him in the laboratory.

“It would be better for him to join our Tianluo Technology…”

The representatives sparred with each other with words, unveiling each other’s secrets, none conceding to the others.

Meng Anhe, playing with a terminal, eyed the calm and observing Zhang Jing, suddenly laughed:

“Director Zhang, you’re quite interested in Chu Feng, aren’t you? Why so calm now?”

Zhang Jing had set up a martial arts school in Ning River, and he came to participate in the Martial Arts Grand Exam in the capacity of a school director.

The others were also startled and looked towards Zhang Jing.

Indeed.

You stirred up our fight with a little story and now you withdraw? Don’t you want to compete for him anymore?

Zhang Jing’s brow twitched, slightly irritated, he glanced at Meng Anhe.

‘Such a cunning fat man, I already stepped back to happily watch the drama, and you pull me back in!’

He sipped his tea and laughed, “Why the hurry, my friends, the competition hasn’t even started yet.

“We are still a long way from the end of the Grand Exam and the official negotiations; we can come to an agreement gradually.”

The others nodded assent, but Meng Anhe’s face bore a grimace-smile:

“Director Zhang, no fault in your words, but your left hand was quite busy under the table, I even heard the rustle of finger winds from this far.

“It seems your Three Yang Finger really has reached the state of Perfection!”

Zhang Jing’s face stiffened, cursing internally: ‘Damn fatso, truly wishing for chaos in the world!’

But facing the scrutinizing gazes of his peers, he had no choice but to bring out the terminal from under the table, candidly stating:

“Nothing much, just asked for a full authority from my family elders over the recruitment of Chu Feng.”

Everyone suddenly understood, and as they pulled out their terminals to contact their headquarters for authority and support policies, they jested:

“Director Zhang, you’re certainly not playing fair, taking advantage of us like this!”
