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

Skyrim.

A wisp of sword energy swept across the sky.

Above the sword energy, Chen Jingzhou, Xiahou Wu, and Jiang He flew rapidly towards Kunlun Mountain.

Xiahou Wu shared his insights without holding anything back, guiding Jiang He through the cultivation of the third level of the "Great Sage Fist." As the creator of the "Great Sage Fist," his understanding of it was undoubtedly unparalleled in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Jiang He also has good comprehension skills.

He had been pondering the practice of the "Great Sage Fist" for some time and had gained some insights.

With Xiahou Wu's guidance, he immediately understood and gained a completely new understanding of some things he didn't quite understand before.

"The third level of the Great Sage Fist is the superposition of four layers of hidden force..."

"You have already mastered the second level of the Great Sage Fist and can easily unleash three levels of hidden power. Learning the fourth level of hidden power should not be difficult."

Jiang He had already gained some insight, and immediately clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Xiahou."

Why be so polite between us?

Xiahou Wu laughed and said, "Since I created the method of condensing qi and blood, the number of body-refining martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty has indeed increased a lot in recent years. However, body refining is too difficult. Without strong physical talent, it is difficult to achieve great success."

"And you, Jiang He, possess physical talent far surpassing mine, and your future achievements will undoubtedly exceed mine."

"I'm still waiting for you to blaze a trail in body refinement so I can cultivate properly in the future."

His words were, of course, partly a joke.

In reality, Xiahou Wu had already regarded Jiang He as his "comrade-in-arms".

The moment he first saw Jianghe, the thought "I am not alone" arose in his mind.

The two were chatting enthusiastically when Xiahou Wu suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Jiang He, I've seen the video of your battle at Guanshan. I didn't expect you to have such cultivation in such a short time. I heard that the Martial Arts Administration's Heavenly Ranking has been changed overnight, and you've been placed at number one."

Martial arts heaven list.

It is a ranking established by the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, and it is listed alongside the Earth Ranking.

But there are also significant differences.

First of all, the Heavenly Ranking has no age limit and only has 20 rankings. Anyone who makes it onto the Heavenly Ranking is at the peak of the ninth rank and has the potential to reach the Martial Arts Celestial Realm!
For example, Chen Jingzhou, Zhuo Bufan, and Liu Feng have all been listed on the Heavenly Ranking.

Jiang He humbly replied, "I am only at the eighth level of Body Refinement. What merit do I have to be ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking?"

Chen Jingzhou, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and complained, "If you can kill a king-level ferocious beast with two punches, who in the entire Great Xia would dare to treat you as an eighth-rank?"

"Uncle Chen, others may not know, but how could you not know?"

Jiang He smiled bitterly, "I was able to kill the Golden Crown Black Eagle King because it was a newly ascended king-level being, and its wings had been cut off by the Black Panther King, leaving it severely injured... Moreover, I first unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, then consumed the Super Berserk Pill, and finally used the Great Sage Fist to achieve such combat power."

Chen Jingzhou said, "Ordinary martial artists can only maintain the power of a secret technique for a few minutes before collapsing from exhaustion. Your ability to use explosive secret techniques, explosive pills, and the Great Sage Fist simultaneously is also a skill."

Jiang He was very modest and said, "Uncle Chen, please don't flatter me. What kind of skill do I have? It's just that I have a special physique."

Look at this, is this even human language?
Chen Jingzhou was speechless for a moment. He looked at Xiahou Wu and found that Xiahou Wu was also silent.

After a long silence, Xiahou Wu finally asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time—

"Jiang He, what kind of body-refining technique do you cultivate?"

Jiang He was taken aback.

Xiahou Wu quickly said, "I was being presumptuous. The Body Refining Method is the core secret of us Body Refining Martial Artists. I shouldn't have asked so many questions."

"no!"

Jiang He came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Senior Xiahou...aren't we body-refining martial artists all about tempering our bodies and building up our strength? Do we really need any body-refining techniques?"

"???"

Xiahou Wu stared wide-eyed, his face full of question marks.

Chen Jingzhou was also taken aback, and then his gaze toward Jiang He became extremely strange.

Jiang He felt a little uneasy under their gazes and shrank back, saying, "Senior Xiahou, Uncle Chen, did I say something wrong? Body tempering is about forging the physical body and building strength... Is there some other method?"

Xiahou Wu and Chen Jingzhou looked away from Jiang He, then exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Chen Jingzhou couldn't help but say, "You're right, body-refining martial artists do need to temper their bodies and hone their strength, but that also requires body-refining techniques... Have you never practiced a body-refining technique in all your years of cultivation?"

"No ah!"

Jiang He: "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about the Body Refining Technique!"

Xiahou Wuren was dumbfounded: "Then how did you cultivate to this level?"

Jiang He: "That's how I cultivated... I exercised on time every day, ate on time, took my medicine on time, and maintained a good lifestyle. Of course, I think my current achievements are also inseparable from my hard work!"

"........."

Xiahou Wu sighed and said, "Perhaps this is talent."

Chen Jingzhou took it to heart and nodded seriously.

Jiang He remained calm and composed, saying, "Yes, I am naturally strong, so I might be more suited to the path of body refinement." The three of them soon entered the Kunlun Mountains.

Moo!
The old ox appeared in front of the clouds. It spoke in human language, saying, "The king knew you were coming and specially ordered me to wait here... The king said that he would give the second king an opportunity, so please wait a moment."

"Second King?"

Jiang He was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Xiao Bai has become the second king of your Kunlun Mountains?"

The old ox nodded.

Jiang He noticed that the way it was looking at him was somewhat unfriendly, probably because of the loss of 100 Tianyin Grass last time. He immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Chen, Senior Xiahou, let's go down and wait."

The two nodded and landed on the hilltop below.

The mountaintop was covered in snow, but below the halfway point, it was lush with greenery. Jiang He took out his phone to take a picture and then looked at the old ox, smiling as he said, "Brother Ox, would you mind taking a picture with me?"

The old ox was very curious about the phone in Jiang He's hand. It poked its head over and asked, "What is that?"

Jiang He raised his phone and took a photo of himself and the old ox, jokingly saying, "This is a magical artifact of my human race, called the Soul-Capturing Box. Once it captures your soul, a wisp of your soul will be captured. You may not notice it, but once I activate my power, I can control you and make sure you can't go west if I tell you to go east!"

"what?"

The old ox was startled. With a "moo," it opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of demonic energy, which struck Jiang He's phone with a "smack."

boom!
The phone exploded, sending sparks flying, and shattered into pieces.

Jiang He: "..."

The old ox let out a long breath, a human-like smile appearing on its face, and said, "Luckily, I, the old ox, reacted quickly and destroyed your Soul-Capturing Box... Now you can't do anything to me, can you?"

"!!!"

Hey!
Jiang He gritted his teeth in anger. This was the latest satellite phone he had bought for over 8 yuan!
It just exploded like that?
Fortunately, he had a few spares in his storage ring. He immediately took them out, found the SIM card in the wreckage of the phone, inserted it, and said, "Brother Niu, this is a human phone. I was just joking with you. Why did you take it so seriously?"

"cell phone?"

Old Niu, still somewhat skeptical, asked, "What is a mobile phone?"

Jiang He smiled and explained, then asked, "Brother Niu, would you like a cell phone? You can use it to listen to music, browse the internet, and watch videos..."

The old ox shook its head: "What use is a cell phone to me, an ox?"

Jiang He silently opened a webpage, found a video, and a deep, magnetic voice rang out—

"Spring has arrived, all things are reviving, and it's mating season for animals again..."

The old ox's ears suddenly perked up.

After a while...

His face flushed red, and he said, "Brother Jiang, are you really willing to give this phone to me, Old Niu?"

Jiang He: "Of course, this phone is precious, but what does it matter compared to the bond between you and Brother Niu..."

He immediately took out a brand new satellite phone from his storage ring, inserted the SIM card he had previously obtained, activated it, and handed it to the old ox, saying, "Brother Ox, let me teach you how to use it."

"By the way, is it convenient for you to use a cell phone with your hooves?"

"Holy crap... Brother Ox, you're amazing! Those hooves can even turn into hands?"

The man and the ox huddled together for a long time.

The old ox finally learned how to use a mobile phone. Jiang He then used his own ID number to register a WeChat account for it, added each other as friends, and even downloaded a food delivery app for it, saying, "Brother Ox, look... this is the 'BaoLeMe' food delivery app. With this app, you can order human food anytime, anywhere."

"What?"

"You like to eat grass?"

"Then let's order vegetarian food... Have you ever tried cow feed?"

"You can locate your location, then choose the nearest city to place your order. When the time comes, call the delivery person who accepted the order and have them deliver your order to the city gate so you can pick it up!"

"I'll put another 200 million yuan in your WeChat account for spending money. That should be enough for you to live on for a long time."

Jiang He lowered his voice and said, "I think your king is very childish and must like to eat our human food and snacks. When the time comes, you can order some and send them to your king. You will surely win his favor. Then, in the Kunlun Mountains, you will be second only to one demon and above all other demons!"

The old ox's eyes lit up, and he was overwhelmed with gratitude towards the river, feeling he had no way to repay it.

Jiang He sighed deeply and said, "Brother Niu, why do you have to do this... I am going to the Kunlun Realm this time with the expectations of the people of my Great Xia. I am going to explore a secret cave realm together with the true disciples of the major forces in the Kunlun Realm. It is not certain whether I will come back alive!"

"What?"

"Brother Niu, you want to help me?"

The old ox stared wide-eyed. "I didn't say that!"
Jiang He sighed to himself, "Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate... This journey is fraught with peril, how can Brother Niu help me? Unless you can take me to the Weak Water River and gather some more Heavenly Yin Grass. If I have a large amount of Heavenly Yin Grass, my combat strength may increase significantly in a short time, and I will have a chance to return alive!"

"........."

Not far away, Chen Jingzhou and Xiahou Wu had strange expressions on their faces!

What the hell!

This kid can even fool people? (End of Chapter)
