Chapter 71, Four Classics

'Finally completed the accumulation of the three realms!'

Zhuang Jin sighed in his heart. Since he broke through the three classics on February 23, two months and seven days have passed. Today, May 1st, he finally completed the accumulation of the three classics realm.

"Break through the Four Classics, right now!"

All the sighs in Zhuang Jin's expression disappeared, turning into a look of determination. He concentrated his mind and directed his internal energy towards the fourth meridian, the Hand Taiyin Meridian.

There is still no obstruction, and the internal energy flows smoothly into the hand Taiyin meridian and begins to circulate in the four meridians of hand Shaoyang, hand Shaoyin, hand Taiyang, and hand Taiyin. In this process, the internal energy is rapidly purified and condensed, and earth-shaking changes occur.

——This kind of progress is much greater than from the first to the second, or from the second to the third!

When the internal energy flows through the four meridians, circulates back and forth, operates smoothly, and the purification is completed, it completely enters another level.

The realm of the four classics has been achieved here...!
"From the third to the fourth classic, it is worthy of being called the first great threshold for warriors. It is indeed different!"

Zhuang Jin opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and full of energy. It was as if a shackle had been removed from his body, and he felt as if he was floating in the air. He knew that this was just an illusion brought on by the huge improvement in such a short period of time. A faint joy appeared on his face. "With this step, I will be completely different from now on. In the Shen family, I am only a 'house servant'. I have barely fulfilled the wish I made in the past and can be considered a 'person'."

Recalling the time when he parted with Gao Shi and took part in the Shen family's martial arts recruitment, he worked tirelessly without a moment's slackness. After six months of hard training, he finally crossed the first major threshold and broke through the Four Classics!

"However, after meeting Gao Shi today, he seems to have changed a lot." Zhuang Jin felt complicated.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside. They became lighter as they got closer. It was Qian Wende who was recognized. He probably got some information about what he was looking for. When he came over, he saw that the door was closed. He was afraid of disturbing Zhuang Jin's practice, so he waited outside.

"But Dezi? Come in!"

Zhuang Jin asked Qian Wende to come in. When the latter came in and saw Zhuang Jin, he subconsciously felt that there seemed to be something different about Zhuang Jin, but he couldn't put his finger on it. So he didn't think much about it, but approached with a happy look on his face and whispered something to him.

"Is that so? Dezi, you did a good job. You go first, and remember not to show any abnormality in front of Jiang Wei."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuang!"

Qian Wende patted his chest and assured that when it comes to acting skills, he is not behind anyone else. Thinking back to when they were in the dormitory, he had pulled Xiong Lei so hard that he was stunned.

After letting Qian Wende leave, Zhuang Jin pondered what he had told him: Jiang Wei was a gambler, had recently run up gambling debts, had borrowed money from neighbors and relatives, and had even sold his house... Thinking back to the team's surprise attack last month, he was the only one who managed to survive...

He connected the two and immediately had a guess in his mind: "I'm afraid this person has been captured by the Medicine King Gang."

There is no concrete evidence in this matter, but it is enough to rely on one's own conviction. Zhuang Jin is not a yamen official who can judge cases, so what evidence does he need?
"Can this be turned into a blessing and used to your advantage?"

Zhuang Jin's eyes are deep.

Now, his financial situation is such that his net worth is negative. After buying the Black Yuan Powder and Black Evil Palm medicine packs this month, he only has less than three taels of silver left on him, and he still owes Ping Yongfeng ten taels.

Also, after breaking through the fourth classic, the basic daily cultivation resources are two sets of Black Yuan Powder a day, which is thirty taels of silver a month. In addition, the accumulation of four classics is longer than that of three classics. If you want to speed up, it is best to assist with the meat of exotic beasts... Then you are really counting on reaping a big harvest and getting rich overnight!
"Now that I've broken through to the fourth level, if anyone of the same realm doesn't come out, we'll just kill them indiscriminately." "Last month, the Medicine King Gang attacked my former squad. I heard afterwards that there were only two third-level, seven or eight second-level, and first-level warriors. If they were to take advantage of their own tactic... Now that I've broken through to the fourth level, I'll definitely have enough. I'm just worried about the little incense master from Fuqing Street coming to attack!"

At the Four Classics Realm, he was at the level of a family servant in the Shen family, and at the level of a small incense master in the Medicine King Gang. Although the word "small" was in the title of small incense master, as the name suggested, he could also enjoy incense offerings and could draw a commission from the protection fees collected from guarding the streets.

From this we can also see the different levels and status of the four sutras.

The group that attacked Zhuang Jin's former team last month was none other than the Yaowang Gang's forces on Fuqing Street. Fuqing Street and Furong Street are separated by Fuchang Street, which we visited this morning. The attack last month was probably also intended to show strength to the "Brotherhood" on Fuchang Street.

"That level of pressure may not be very strong, but we have to be on guard." Zhuang Jin felt that to be on the safe side, he still had to improve his strength.

"To improve your strength, you need to first cultivate your realm and secondly, your martial arts skills."

'In terms of cultivation realm, although I haven't reached a bottleneck, it will take more than a short time to break through the Five Classics and accumulate the knowledge of the Four Classics. Moreover, I currently don't have the quiet practice after the Four Classics.'

When he first became a formal warrior, Zhuang Jin went to the Transmission Department to obtain the first to third chapters of the static martial arts, which was barely enough to break through the fourth chapter. To obtain the fourth to sixth chapters of the static martial arts, he had to go to the Transmission Department again after breaking through the fourth chapter.

"The Four Classics are special. Even though it's the beginning of the month, I can still go back and register. It's a special case. First, the Four Classics have a different status. Second, I need to receive the Jinggong Heart Method."

"However, this matter is not urgent, let's wait."

Zhuang Jin now knows that after being promoted to the fourth level and reaching the street guard level, there will be a tacit understanding between him and the Medicine King Gang in the north of the city. Warriors of this level usually keep watch and do not take action. It is better not to be promoted first, which will also make it easier to harvest heads and accumulate merits.

"If your realm isn't good enough, then that's your martial arts. If my Black Evil Palm reaches minor success, it will immediately boost your strength."

The Four Classics realm is the minimum requirement for achieving minor success in the Black Evil Palm, but it does not mean that as long as one breaks through the Four Classics, one will be able to achieve minor success in the Black Evil Palm.

The speed of martial arts training depends on comprehension and aptitude. The bottleneck of the Black Evil Palm from the beginning to the minor success is no easier than that of the third to fourth classics. Therefore, unless one has an amazing comprehension, most warriors can only achieve minor success after reaching the fifth classic, relying on the feedback from their cultivation level.

"Others may not be able to do it, but I am different. From the time I first practiced the Black Evil Palm, I could tell that my comprehension was absolutely exceptional and top-notch. Furthermore, during the Second Sutra period, I practiced an extra hour every night for nearly two months, making considerable progress. Furthermore, I haven't encountered any bottlenecks..."

Zhuang Jin secretly estimated that if he focused on martial arts, in about seven or eight days, he would be able to reach the entry-level proficiency of the Black Evil Palm, and then reach a small level of success without any bottlenecks.

"If I could achieve minor success in the Black Evil Palm, even if I encountered a martial artist of the same level who had a deeper understanding of the Four Classics than me but whose martial arts were only at the beginner level, I could fight him, and even defeat him."

"As far as I know, the Duan Zhenshou is only at the entry level in the Black Evil Palm, and so is Yu Xiangzhu of the Medicine King Gang on Fuqing Street. As long as I can master the Black Evil Palm to a small degree, these two will be able to fight."

"When the time comes, even if the Lord Yuxiang comes to support me, I won't be afraid. Under the Four Classics, it will be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables."

Zhuang Jin thought about this and immediately made a decision: "I can survive for a while longer. For the next seven or eight days, when I need to take over the night watch, I'll ask Ke Jingxing to take over. I'll focus on mastering the Black Evil Palm until it reaches a minor level of proficiency. By then, I'll have enough confidence and be fearless."
