I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 111 Boys must take good care of themselves when they go out!
The ranking system for Awakened Ones differs from that for Martial Artists.

A B-level Awakened is equivalent to a sixth-rank martial artist.

After being promoted to Rank A, one is equivalent to a martial arts master.

After a martial artist advances to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm, they are further divided into Rank 7 Grandmasters, Rank 8 Grandmasters, and Rank 9 Grandmasters. Above that is the Martial Arts Celestial!
Therefore, the strength gap among A-level Awakened is enormous.

An ordinary A-rank is equivalent to an ordinary seventh-rank grandmaster, but a powerful A-rank can rival a ninth-rank grandmaster!

Some people divide the A-level into three levels: A-, A, and A+, which correspond to the seventh, eighth, and ninth ranks of martial arts.

Without a doubt, Shui Qianyun is A+ level, and is one of the best in this category.

Who knows when we'll be able to reach "S-class"!

On the table.

Shui Qianyun ate her breakfast gracefully.

Jiang He sat obediently to the side, accepting Shui Qianyun's "interrogation".

What, how far has your relationship with Yun Yanchen progressed?

Did you kiss?
Have you had sex yet?
Yun Yanchen blushed and hid in the kitchen, too embarrassed to come out. Jiang He, on the other hand, remained calm and answered her questions one by one.

finish breakfast.

Shui Qianyun said, "You guys get ready, I'm going to put on some makeup... then we'll go to the Martial Arts Administration Bureau."

She was barefoot.

She quietly went upstairs.

Jiang He looked at Yun Yanchen, who was coming out of the building, and asked curiously, "Senior Shui is already this beautiful even without makeup. If she wore makeup, what would she look like?"

Shui Qianyun, who had just arrived at the bedroom on the second floor, couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth slightly.

Her bedroom was a mess.

The blankets on the bed were piled up in a ball.

Various kinds of underwear and stockings were scattered all over the floor.

The most important thing is...

There was even a cosplay outfit lying on the bedside table.

Simplifying her makeup, Shui Qianyun changed into a silver S-class combat suit.

The combat suit was custom-made for her, and to ensure she could move freely in combat... it was naturally very form-fitting, perfectly showcasing her graceful and voluptuous figure.

Her beautiful hair was simply tied into a ponytail with a hair tie.

He no longer had that lazy air about him; instead, he exuded a heroic and dashing aura.

Went downstairs.

Shui Qianyun said, "Yanchen, while you were at [Chaozhen Taixu Heaven], I also had an S-level combat suit custom-made for you. Go to the Martial Arts Administration Bureau later to try it on and see if it fits."

"S...S-class combat suit?"

Yun Yanchen said, "Master, no, this is too precious!"

Shui Qianyun then said, "We Awakeners are weak in close combat, so having a good combat suit can greatly improve our strength... Besides, it's just an S-class combat suit, it's not worth much money. As long as you can perform well in this competition, that will be the greatest reward for your teacher."

Jiang He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!

S-Class Combat Suit!

That's an S-class!
An S-class alloy weapon can easily cost tens of millions!

Not to mention combat uniforms.

The materials and manufacturing processes involved are far more complex than those for weapons, which is why the cheapest S-class combat suit from the Martial Arts Administration costs 1.2 million.

"I toil away in the wilderness for a whole day and night killing ferocious beasts, and I only earn a few tens of millions... A combat suit worth a hundred or two hundred million is nothing to me... Is this what a real big shot is like?"

Out of the villa.

Yun Yanchen drove again, heading towards the Martial Arts Administration Bureau.

Jiang He sat in the passenger seat.

Shui Qianyun sat in the back seat.

Jiang He calculated the time and took out a bottle of "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills" from his pocket.

Just as he was about to take his medicine, Shui Qianyun in the back seat suddenly noticed something. She waved her hand and snatched the medicine bottle from Jiang He's hand.

"Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pill..."

"Nourishing Yin, tonifying the kidneys, and strengthening Yang?"

Shui Qianyun was stunned for a moment: "No... you're a young man, why are you taking this kind of medicine? Do you have kidney deficiency?"

Jiang He blushed and quickly explained, "Senior Shui, you misunderstand. I'm perfectly healthy. The main reason I take this medicine is because it can replenish my qi and blood!"

Jiang He said in a serious tone, "As we all know, the most important thing for us body-refining martial artists is our qi and blood. Strong qi and blood means a strong body... So I always keep a few boxes on hand and take a few pills when I have nothing to do."

"real or fake?"

Shui Qianyun, of course, did not believe such words.

Even Yun Yanchen couldn't help but glance at Jiang He a few times, and a thought involuntarily crossed her mind...

he……

It looks so big there, but it's actually empty?
Seeing that the two women didn't believe him, Jiang He grew anxious!

This was a matter of a man's dignity; how could he allow it to be trampled on like that? He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and said hastily, "Senior Shui, what I said is true..."

"You won't believe me, look! I really don't have kidney deficiency!"

talking.

He then started to unzip his pants.

Yun Yanchen was shocked and slammed on the brakes to stop the car. She quickly stopped Jiang He and pleaded, "Jiang He, don't... don't take it anymore, we believe you."

back seat.

Shui Qianyun was stunned.

no……

Stop taking it out?
What are you taking out?
This guy... is he really going to pull it out and show it to me?
She was exasperated, then suddenly realized... this guy's condition didn't seem very stable, so she returned the bottle of Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills, saying insincerely, "Senior was just joking, don't be impulsive."

Jiang He felt that his personality had been insulted.

He wanted to take off his pants to prove himself, but Yun Yanchen just wouldn't let him... He then thought that simply taking off his pants wouldn't prove anything!
Whether it's real or not, you can't tell from the outside.

So, he could only angrily unscrew the cap of the Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pill, pour out three pills, put them in his mouth, and swallow them down first.

"Ding!"

"Rational drug use, strength +10kg!"

Shui Qianyun: "..."

Her expression froze, her mouth gaped slightly, and she exclaimed in shock, "This medicine... can really enhance qi and blood?"

A 10kg increase in strength is nothing to Jiang He at his current level.

Even he himself wouldn't feel anything obvious.

Who is Ke Shuiqianyun?

A+ Rank Awakener!
It's a water-based system!
Qi and blood...

Strictly speaking, it is also related to "water".

She couldn't sense the increase in Jianghe's power, but the instantaneous change and enhancement of the Qi and blood within Jianghe's body did not escape her perception.

Jiang He then realized that Shui Qianyun finally believed he didn't have kidney deficiency, and explained triumphantly, "That's right... I already said, I'm taking this medicine mainly to replenish my qi and blood."

soon.

We have arrived at the Xixia Base City Martial Arts Administration Bureau.

"It's almost time to assemble... Yanchen, go get your combat uniform first, I'm going to see Chen Jingzhou."

After taking a few steps, Shui Qianyun turned back and said, "Jiang He, why didn't you go with Yan Chen? What are you doing following me?"

Jiang He said, "Just now, while I was in the car, Uncle Chen sent me a message saying that I should go to his office."

"Uncle Chen?"

Shui Qianyun was initially surprised by the address, but after a moment's thought, she realized what it meant and said, "That's right... Your father, Chen Jingzhou, Liu Feng and the others had a very good relationship back then, so it's only right that you call him Uncle Chen."

Arrived at Chen Jingzhou's office.

There were already quite a few people in the office.

Most of these people are parents or mentors of the participants in this National Youth Martial Arts Competition. They are all quite strong and would be well-known figures in the base city and major military cities.

This is normal.

Even with the current flourishing of martial arts in society, the chances of ordinary people rising to prominence are much greater.

However, in martial arts training, in addition to talent and personal effort, training resources are also very important.

Let's assume the two people have similar talents.

One came from a poor family, the other had parents who were both powerful martial artists...

So, at the same age, what do you have to compare with others?
Others work just as hard as you, have abundant cultivation resources, parental guidance, and training... Everything you have, you have to earn through your own hard work!

Shui Qianyun arrived.

Everyone came forward and saluted.

Chen Jingzhou then stood up and said, "Everyone... this trip to the Jiangnan Base City will be led by Master Shui."

Shui Qianyun is an Awakened One, with strength comparable to a top Grandmaster.

However, it's not a problem for Chen Jingzhou to call him a "master of water"...

In the Great Xia Dynasty, "Grandmaster" is not only a classification of cultivation level, but also a title. In the past, even a ninth-rank Grandmaster was called a "Grandmaster".

Chen Jingzhou explained with a smile.

Shui Qianyun, however, remained rather cold, saying, "I won't bother with formalities. We're all locals from Xixia, so you must know me quite well..."

"This time, when we go to the Jiangnan base city, I am only responsible for ensuring the safety of you and all the participants on your way there and back."

"As for the Jiangnan base city... if any trouble is caused, everyone will have to take responsibility."

One of the grandmasters laughed and said, "Grandmaster Shui, don't worry. We're not children anymore. We understand these things. As for those little ones, we'll definitely keep them in line."

Shui Qianyun sneered, "Those kids are still young, it's normal for them to make a fuss. Even if they fight, it'll just be a minor squabble... I'm talking about you!"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Since they've all gone to such lengths to make the trip to the Jiangnan base city, shouldn't they find a few masters from other places to spar with?"

A grandmaster touched his nose and chuckled twice.

Shui Qianyun said, "I don't care if you find someone to spar with, but this time you're representing our Western Xia... Either you compete quietly, or anyone who can't sit still and finds someone to spar with and loses can run back from the wilderness!"

These people were all prominent figures in the entire Western Xia Dynasty.

However, he was scolded by Shui Qianyun.

But no one dared to refute it.

Jiang He even spotted Jia Wang and leaned in to whisper, "Master Jia, are you also going to the Jiangnan Base City to watch the competition?"

“I have a friend’s relative whose son is quite talented, and I went with him this time.”

Jia Wang looked Jiang He up and down a few times, then asked in surprise, "You're going to participate in the competition? I looked at the list of participants... I don't think you're on it!"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "I'm also going to watch the game."

These people quickly followed Shui Qianyun away.

Chen Jingzhou kept Jiang He behind and said seriously, "Jiang He, I heard from Lao Yun that you obtained three Fish-Dragon Pills?"

Jiang He nodded.

Chen Jingzhou said, "Could you give me one... I am purchasing this from you on behalf of the Martial Arts Administration. Our Martial Arts Administration has obtained Fish Dragon Pills before and has established a special research team to study them."

"Over the years, we have made some progress, but the Fish-Dragon Pill is rare. If we had enough finished products, perhaps our Great Xia could also replicate it!"

"Of course, I'm not taking your Fish Dragon Pill for nothing."

Chen Jingzhou offered Jiang He an extremely high price.

One, worth 100 billion!
Jiang He thought for a moment, then took out the Fish-Dragon Pill he was carrying and said, "This is one Fish-Dragon Pill. I gave the other two to Uncle Yun."

Chen Jingzhou's face lit up with joy, and he said, "I know Old Yun well. With his abilities, one Fish-Dragon Pill is enough for him. I'll go get the remaining one myself later."

Jiang He: "Okay, but I have one more condition... In addition to the price of 100 billion, I also want two portions of Earth Dragon Blood!"

Chen Jingzhou made the decision: "No problem, I'll take care of it for you... But the blood of the earth dragon is quite precious. The blood essence produced by the earth dragon king raised by the Martial Arts Administration Bureau is limited, so it may take seven or eight days to prepare."

"???"

Jiang He asked in surprise, "Raising them?"

Chen Jingzhou laughed and said, "Of course... the Earth Dragon King is such a valuable king-level ferocious beast, how could we kill it so easily?"

"What we announced to the public was that the Martial Arts Administration killed an Earth Dragon King back then... but in reality, that Earth Dragon King did not die. It is now being raised at headquarters, and because of its super self-healing ability, it can continuously produce essence blood."

"I heard that the Earth Dragon King can produce seven drops of essence blood a month without harming its core essence..."

Worthy!

The rivers were stunned!

7 drops a month?
With a little processing, a drop of essence blood becomes a serving of earthworm blood, selling for 880 million?

That's five or six billion a month!
If I had a dragon king, wouldn't I be able to lie down and count money until my hands cramped?

Jiang He said, "Uncle Chen, can I exchange all 200 billion of my money for Earth Dragon Blood... or even just for the Earth Dragon King's essence blood?"

Chen Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "It's possible, but after refining three portions of the earth dragon blood, the effect will drop sharply. What use is so much to you?"

Jiang He laughed and said, "Let's give it a try... Maybe my constitution is special, it might work for me?"

Considering that the monthly output of earth dragon blood is limited, and other people also have demand for it.

Chen Jingzhou then agreed to provide Jiang He with two portions of Earth Dragon Blood every month, in addition to the two portions of Earth Dragon Blood that came with the Fish Dragon Pill... This was because the Martial Arts Administration Headquarters had some Earth Dragon King Essence Blood in stock, and because his influence had increased considerably after advancing to the Martial Arts Celestial Realm.

Upon learning that Jiang He was also going to Jiangnan Base City to watch the competition, Chen Jingzhou said, "I'll contact Jiangnan Base City later and have them send the Earth Dragon Blood directly to Jiangnan Base City."

"in addition……"

Chen Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Should I ask someone higher up to get you a spot in the competition?"

"No need, no need."

Jiang He quickly said, "Uncle, don't you know my own limitations? I can't possibly use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to compete with people on stage every day, can I?"

Chen Jingzhou laughed and said, "That's right. You're still young, so cultivate well... When the next National Youth Martial Arts Competition comes around, I'll try my best to see if it can be held in our Western Xia. Then you can make a name for yourself and bring us a championship!"

Next?
The next one won't be for another five years...

Who knows what the situation was like back then?
Jiang He secretly grumbled to himself.

Chen Jingzhou glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time, let's go to the airport... By the way, don't wander around or cause trouble this time. Jiangnan Base City is not like our Xixia. If you cause a big mess there, I may not be able to handle it."

"This National Youth Martial Arts Competition is truly a gathering of elites... You should go and take a look, learn a lot, and broaden your horizons!"

On the way to the airport.

Chen Jingzhou was like a nagging old father sending his son off on a long journey, giving him instructions all the way.

"The participants are geniuses from all over the country... Most geniuses are arrogant, so don't cause trouble when you get there."

To scare Jiang He, Chen Jingzhou deliberately made it sound more frightening, saying, "If a fight really breaks out, run away if you can't win... Just don't hurt yourself."

Jiang He followed Chen Jingzhou, behaving like an obedient child, and said with a simple smile, "Uncle Chen, don't worry, don't you know me?"

"When I'm out and about, I will definitely protect myself and not let myself get hurt!"
