My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing Chen Jian's words, Jiang Xiaobai coughed twice.

He had indeed said those words before, but he didn't expect Chen Jian to remember them now.

As Jiang Xiaobai suppressed a laugh, he glanced at Chen Zhanqiu, whose face was so dark it was almost dripping with water...

With a slight smile, Jiang Xiaobai nodded seriously: "That's...right!"

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Chen Zhanqiu's face darkened even more.

Oh shit!

This is his son!

As it turns out, his words as the father weren't as effective as Jiang Xiaobai's!

It's infuriating just thinking about it!

"father!"

Upon hearing Chen Zhanqiu's voice, Chen Jian frowned immediately: "Show some respect to my closest friend!"

"Otherwise, hmph!"

"What, you unfilial son, you're going to hit me, aren't you?!"

Chen Zhanqiu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, but finally flung his sleeves and turned to walk in the other direction.

But after sitting down, his gaze remained fixed intently on Jiang Xiaobai.

If looks could kill, Jiang Xiaobai would probably have been stabbed a dozen times by now!

Brother Jiang!

Chen Jian didn't seem to care, and looked at Jiang Xiaobai again, his face full of excitement: "Don't let my father affect your mood!"

"Let's talk about our own things!"

Chen Jian paused for a moment, then continued, "To be honest, after seeing Brother Jiang's One-Finger Divine Skill last time, I went back and devoted myself to studying it!"

"You know what, I actually figured it out, but its power... isn't as great as Brother Jiang's!"

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned after hearing this, and his eyes turned somewhat horrified as he looked at Chen Jian.

Seriously? You've already learned it?

His so-called One Finger Divine Skill last time was actually achieved by firing a shot at the Desert Eagle!

This guy watched it once, then went back and studied it on his own, and actually figured it out?

Isn't this... a bit too outrageous!

Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt a little fortunate.

Thankfully, he managed to get closer to Chen Jian last time!

Otherwise, given Chen Zhanqiu's hatred for him, if Chen Jian were to come and assassinate him... he might really be doomed!

Tang Ningshuang, who was standing next to her, listened with an equally incredulous expression.

After spending this time together, she naturally realized that Jiang Xiaobai's so-called One-Finger Divine Skill was nothing at all!

It was clearly that extremely powerful hidden weapon!

But Chen Jian actually managed to develop a similar martial art based on that one glance?

What kind of terrifying talent is this?

This is probably the real martial arts genius!

"Come!"

Jiang Xiaobai also became interested and looked at Chen Jian, saying, "Give me a demonstration!"

"good!"

Chen Jian nodded and stood up.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced around, then his gaze suddenly fell on Zhao Sheng. A smirk appeared on his lips, and he pointed at him, saying, "Come on, let's get him!"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jian stared at Zhao Sheng without a second thought, then stood up and began to gather his strength.

"???"

Zhao Sheng was originally sitting there watching the commotion.

When Chen Jian suddenly turned around, his face turned pale instantly.

No, what does it have to do with him?

You know, he was perfectly well-behaved the whole day!

Why is that bastard Jiang Xiaobai targeting him?

"Jiang Xiaobai!"

Seeing Chen Jian's body surging with energy, Zhao Sheng quickly stood up and angrily said, "Don't be ridiculous!"

"Ha ha!"

Seeing Zhao Sheng's nervous expression, Jiang Xiaobai burst into laughter twice, but finally waved his hand and pointed to the ancient tree next to him.

"Alright, let's break down the tree!"

"good!"

After hearing this, Chen Jian turned around and looked at the ancient tree.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Jian suddenly stomped his right foot heavily.

The internal energy within the body circulates rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his right hand, bent his finger, and pointed it sharply at the ancient tree!

"call out!"

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out.

boom!

A section of the thick, ancient tree trunk had been blown open.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and a hole that was clearly visible to the naked eye appeared on the tree trunk!

hiss!

A collective gasp filled the air.

Many martial arts practitioners who hadn't paid much attention before suddenly sat up straight.

Can internal force be projected from a distance using finger strength?

This...this is not something an ordinary martial artist could do!

Even the two elderly men in front, one in black and one in white, showed a clear change in expression.

The two men looked at Chen Jian at the same time, their gazes changing.

Gudong!

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, unable to resist swallowing hard.

Really... you've learned it?

Moreover, judging by its power, although it is indeed somewhat inferior to the Desert Eagle, it is still quite terrifying!

The most outrageous thing is that this "One-Finger Divine Skill" was originally something he took from a martial arts novel in his previous life to fool people!

As a result, Chen Jian actually made it real?

Brother Jiang!

Chen Jian withdrew his hand, a smile returning to his face: "Not bad, right?"

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai snapped out of her daze and looked at Chen Jian's expectant face. She was about to nod in praise, but she held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Not bad!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly, feigning calmness, and said, "It still needs improvement!"

"..."

Many people in the martial arts world were stunned when they heard this.

Is it acceptable?

Is this only passable?

Such domineering finger force, even from such a distance, could pierce through that ancient tree!

If this hits a person, wouldn't it just leave a hole?

As a result, it was only "acceptable" for Jiang Xiaobai?

Upon hearing this, Chen Jian's smile vanished instantly: "Brother Jiang is right. My current guidance certainly has many shortcomings!"

"However, Brother Jiang, rest assured, I will continue my research after I return and strive to make further breakthroughs!"

"That's excellent!"

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he gestured for Chen Jian to sit down again.

As soon as Chen Jian sat down, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Brother Jiang! I remember you mentioned a martial art last time!"

"What's it called... the Star Absorbing Technique? I've been really curious about it lately!"

"Brother Jiang, could you please tell me more about it?"

Star Absorbing Technique?

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, "That's easy!"

"The so-called Star-Absorbing Technique is simply draining the opponent's internal energy!"

"Then……"

Jiang Xiaobai paused slightly: "Turn it into our own!"

"What?"

Chen Jian's eyes lit up instantly: "Drain someone else's internal energy? And then use it for your own benefit?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and nodded: "I only discovered this skill by chance!"

"There are actually martial arts techniques this powerful!"

Chen Jian was visibly more excited.

Tang Ningshuang, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat bewildered.

To extract someone else's internal energy and then use it for oneself?

She had never even heard of this kind of martial arts!

Thinking of this, Tang Ningshuang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiaobai twice.

Did this guy actually see it somewhere before, or did he just make it up?

If he had seen it before, that would be fine, but if he made it up on the spot, then Jiang Xiaobai's imagination is a bit too wild!

"What about the Ecstasy Palm technique?"

At this moment, Chen Jian spoke again.

"Oh, this palm technique requires feelings of longing and loneliness to be brought to life!"

Jiang Xiaobai said, "This palm technique isn't suitable for you!"

"What about the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth?"

At this point, Chen Jian began to ask questions one by one, while Jiang Xiaobai shared what he knew.

About an incense stick's time later, a voice rang out: "The Queen of Beiyu has arrived!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow, turned his head to look, and his expression turned to surprise.

The princess was now dressed in the attire of the Great Hua Kingdom, and to be honest, she looked quite beautiful in the clothes.

As the princess approached, Jiang Xiaobai cleared his throat, took out five Concealed Edge Tokens from his pocket, and slammed them onto the table.

"Miss Tang, my back is itchy!"

"Come on, pick out a Hidden Edge Token and scratch it for me..."
