Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 309 Allied War
Zhou Leng said, "The Martial Stone Man can help with cultivation, but only for those who have learned the corresponding innate martial arts. So, I will now play the innate martial arts demonstrated by the Martial Stone Man. You can choose one to learn, and I will translate the divine script."

"Once you reach the highest mountain, you can find the corresponding martial stone warriors to fight and learn from."

"Now?" The disciples were extremely surprised.

They had thought it might be a long time before they could learn innate martial arts.

"Now you can."

Zhou Leng took out the video recordings, categorized them, and showed them to the disciples. Then he let them choose the martial art they most wanted to practice.

Most people choose Zhou Leng's "Broken Void Finger" or Song Juesi's "Heavenly Tide Palm," while another group learns "Great Storm Fist" with Zhang Xinglie. Only a very small number of people learn other external martial arts.

The group consisted of people who were already in the first or second tier of the growth stage, and with their experience in the Ancient River Sect, they learned the basic moves in just two days.

People kept gathering together to exchange ideas, and some even wanted to test their skills in real combat.

A thought popped into Zhou Leng's mind, and he said, "Everyone, we humans have always been suppressed by sea monsters, but that's only because the sea monsters are powerful and numerous in the water. I know about the sea monster camp. Why don't we, the disciples of the Ancient River Sect, pull off a big heist and, incidentally, test our innate martial arts in real combat? What do you say?"

"Let's go!" Zhang Xinglie stood up immediately.

“Not bad.” Song Juesi nodded with a smile, his sharpness concealed.

"I'll go too!" Li Yuanhe couldn't resist.

The call was met with immediate and enthusiastic responses, and everyone began preparations.

Rao Mingxian first found Rao Mingjun and said, "The disciples of the Guhe Sect are going on a group activity and will probably be back in two days. If you want to go out to search for treasure, you don't need to wait for me."

Rao Mingjun asked, "Can't you take us with you?"

“This…is a collective decision,” Rao Mingxian said.

"What exactly?"

Rao Mingxian said helplessly, "I can't say that either."

Rao Mingjun looked at Rao Mingxian and said slowly, "You have indeed grown up."

"Brother, there's nothing I can do. After all, I'm also a disciple of the Ancient River Sect. It'll be fine once you join us in the future."

Rao Mingjun smiled and said, "I was just saying it casually. Since we can keep in touch with Zhou Leng, we should try to find out more about him. Otherwise, we'll always be clueless, which will put the Rao family in a very passive position."

Rao Mingxian nodded silently.

"Okay, let's go."

Before long, the 35 members of the Ancient River Sect, led by Zhou Leng, ran all the way and arrived near the Siren Camp.

The group first regulated their breathing to recover their true energy, and then, taking advantage of the night, sneaked into the siren's camp and joined forces to kill the enemy.

Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, and Song Juesi fought their own battles, like three sharp swords, their blades gleaming like frost and snow, cleaving through the night.

The rest of the group worked together in groups of three or four to kill the enemy.

After practicing together for many days, everyone has developed a basic understanding.

Once it makes a move, it's like a pride of lions hunting their prey.

In just a few minutes, they killed hundreds of sea monsters.

The sirens truly lived up to their reputation as a powerful race in the Ten Realms. Even after being ambushed and suffering multiple casualties, they were still able to quickly regroup and rebuild their morale.

The remaining two hundred or so sea monsters charged towards the disciples of Guhe.

Zhou Leng, Zhang Xinglie, and Song Juesi stood at the front of the group and launched their attack.

The three of them moved like lawnmowers; even the most powerful siren couldn't withstand three moves.

Most sirens fall with a single blow.

Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie were simply caught up in the excitement of the fight, exchanging blows for each other in order to be efficient, without dodging or avoiding.

Song Juesi was completely different from the other two. His attack was far superior to everyone else present, almost like a technique from a higher world.

His moves were so ordinary, just the most basic martial arts, without a trace of sophistication.

While others seemed to be engaged in battle, he was like an old man, calmly practicing his boxing in the park.

One punch, one kill; a head ruptured, a heart split open, a neck broken, or a chest pierced.

It always hits the vital point, without exception.

Their efficiency in killing enemies is almost equivalent to Zhou Leng and Zhang Xinglie working together.

Yet he remained completely unharmed, his arms as swift as water, his legs as light as the wind, graceful and unrestrained.

With the three in front, the pressure on the others was greatly reduced, and they displayed the cultivation results of the Ancient River Sect without any scruples.

In no time, the disciples of the Ancient River Sect had broken through the sea monster's ranks.

Instead of fleeing, the sea monsters became even more ferocious, regrouped, and once again attacked the disciples of the Ancient River Sect.

They broke through again, and the sirens gathered once more.

The siren gathered three times after the breach was made.

After four attempts to break through, no sea monster remained standing.

The victorious disciples of the Ancient River Sect wore triumphant smiles, but their eyes were unusually solemn.

Song Juesi sighed, "As expected of a sea monster, even after we repeatedly broke through its defenses and fought to the last man, it neither fled nor surrendered."

Zhang Xinglie said, "Therefore, the best way to respect them is to kill them all!"

"One day, we will raze the Western Sea Demon City to the ground and slaughter the sea monsters," Zhou Leng said.

This was the first time that the disciples of the Ancient River Sect had joined forces to defeat an enemy, and everyone was extremely pleased.

After sorting through the spoils, Li Yuanhe picked out the important medicinal fruits and presented them to the three of them.

“Logically, these medicinal fruits should be auctioned off. However, we all understand that only the three of you can bring out the full value of these medicinal fruits. The stronger you three are, the more prosperous the Ancient River Sect's heritage will be, and the stronger humanity will become. These medicinal fruits are not something we are giving up; they are the choice of the Ancient River Sect and humanity itself.”

Zhou Leng and his two companions scanned the disciples of the Ancient River Sect.

Under the cover of night, everyone's eyes were like still water, gleaming slightly.

"Thank you all for your righteousness!" Zhou Leng and the other two expressed their gratitude in unison.

The three obtained the most important medicinal fruit, while the remaining spoils were divided equally among the rest of the group.

They set the place on fire and the group returned to the human camp.

As dawn broke, the group arrived.

Tents dotted the green grass at the edge of the forest.

Some people were cooking and eating, while others were practicing martial arts and meditating; it was a scene of thriving activity.

The Guhe Sect disciple smiled slightly and entered the camp, without mentioning a word about what had happened the previous night.

However, I occasionally hear people talking about it.

"Look, the number of sea monsters on the youth list has decreased sharply."

"In the past few days, the top three sirens have all died. I wonder which killing god they offended."

"They've had a really bad year..."

Rao Mingxian bid farewell to Zhou Leng and the others, and went to where Rao Mingjun was.

"Can't we say yet?" Rao Mingjun asked immediately.

"I can't say," Rao Mingxian said.

Rao Mingjun sighed and deliberately complained, "You can't say this, you can't say that. Once Zhou Leng grows up and destroys the Rao family, you'll be able to say it? I don't quite understand what Zhou Leng gave you that makes you protect him so much, even at the cost of betraying the Rao family."

Rao Mingxian said, "Brother, I have not betrayed the Rao family. Zhou Leng really has no interest in being enemies with the Rao family. He is now the senior disciple of the Ancient River Sect, and all parties will seek cooperation with him. If we befriend him now, it will be the most correct choice."

“If he doesn’t leave the battlefield of youth, everyone will forget about him in three days at most,” Rao Mingjun said.

“Brother, he is truly different from you. Don’t judge him by your own standards. He is the hope of the Ancient River Sect and the hope of Blue Star. You have no idea what contributions he has made to humanity.”

When he first met Rao Mingjun at the battlefield of youth, he kept praising Zhou Leng.

I just hope that Rao Mingjun is different from Rao Mingxing and changes his opinion of Zhou Leng.

However, Rao Mingjun seemed not to understand, or even hear.

Rao Mingxian was filled with an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

This feeling is so familiar, exactly the same as when my grandfather used to beat me when I was a child.

The same.

Rao Mingjun slowly said, "So, you told him that Mingxing wanted to take revenge on him? So, all the information you passed on to Mingxing and me about him was with his consent?"

Rao Mingxian remained silent, for with Rao Mingjun's intelligence, he had already figured all of this out.

Rao Mingjun asked, "Did you kill those three hundred-plus sea monsters?"

Rao Mingxian remained silent.

Rao Mingjun turned his head to look at where the disciples of the Ancient River Sect were, his eyes surging with undisguised turmoil.

Even if we don't count the disciples of the Ancient River Sect, and double the number of human martial artists in the camp, we still might not be able to kill all three hundred sea monsters.

Moreover, every single one of the disciples of the Ancient River Sect who went there returned.

Rao Mingjun looked up at the list of young people on the highest mountain.

Sure enough, these people's rankings suddenly improved dramatically, with almost all of them entering the top 1,000.

Those who can enter this place are basically considered to be in the first tier of the Ten Realms' Vitality Stage.

Those within the top 1,000 are the top tier of the top tier.

People at this level all have the potential to become grandmasters.

Rao Mingjun was only ranked outside the top 1,500.

Finally, Rao Mingjun's gaze fell on Rao Mingxian, who was on the list of young talents.

984 people.

Rao Mingxian, the most inconspicuous child from a collateral branch, a person who was beaten and scolded by his grandfather from childhood to adulthood, a person who couldn't even sit at the table for meals, actually surpassed him.

He surpassed the eldest grandson of the main family.

It surpassed the true stars of the Rao family.

On the battlefield of the Ten Realms Youth Battle, they shone brightly.

Rao Mingjun was stunned for a long time before sighing.

“Mingxian, I underestimated you in the past. From now on, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of the Rao family,” Rao Mingjun said.

Rao Mingxian hurriedly said, "I am just an ordinary member of the Rao family, and I still have to listen to the future head of the family, which is you."

Rao Mingjun smiled and said, "We're all members of the Rao family, no need to be so formal. From now on, the Rao family's influence within the Demon Worshiping Sect will be under your jurisdiction."

Rao Mingxian stared blankly at Rao Mingjun; this familiar face felt utterly foreign to him.

His words pierced my heart like a knife.

Rao Mingjun smiled and said, "With you here, our Rao family has even more hope. Don't forget to continue gathering intelligence on Zhou Leng. We must nip the Rao family's enemies in the bud."

Rao Mingjun turned around, and Rao Mingxian stood there blankly.

After a long while, Rao Mingxian lowered his head, his eyes gleaming with an indescribable light.

The maddening light writhed like a demon.

Rao Mingjun's words echoed repeatedly in my ears.

"From now on, all of the Rao family's influence within the Demonic Cult will be under your jurisdiction..."

It turns out that the Rao family had long been in cahoots with the Demon Worshipping Cult.

It turns out that Rao Mingjun knew everything all along.

He knew all along that the Demon Worship Cult was forcing his family to betray humanity and join the cult.

He already knew about Shen Jun's order.

No wonder, when they encountered Shen Jun's team before, Shen Jun and his team didn't kill them, but instead negotiated and separated.

What role did the Rao family, the head of the family, play in all of this?
Was the demonic skill that my second uncle gave to my grandfather, which he then practiced, part of the Rao family's main branch?

Did the main branch of the Rao family long ago intend to place members of the Rao family's branches into the Demon Worship Cult?
If that's the case, then it makes perfect sense that the head of the Rao family knew about what happened at No. 59 Middle School and stepped in to help suppress it.

Otherwise, the main branch of the Rao family would never have taken such a huge risk to help a branch.

Rao Mingjun's words were not a compliment.

Instead, he inadvertently revealed his true thoughts.

The head of the Rao family is in control of everything.

Including the fate of Rao Mingxian's family.

He is threatening.
