When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"System, open the warehouse."

Jiang Feng checked the rewards he had earned that day.

A Tier 4 Treasure Fish, the King of Blue Carp!

Compared to the first-tier blue carp, the fourth-tier blue carp king is an anomaly.

Its entire body was covered with scales that resembled blue jade, and two pale golden whiskers, like dragon whiskers, grew from the corners of its lips.

"A fourth-tier treasure fish!"

Jiang Feng swallowed hard.

This is a treasure that even a fourth-grade grandmaster would envy!

But what followed was a very tricky problem.

How do you eat this?

We can't just eat it raw, can we?

[Item Analysis]: Tier 4 Azure Carp King

[Standard Usage]: Combined with Blood Dragon Ginseng, Nine-Leaf Jade Marrow Flower, and a fourth-tier exotic beast crystal core, and given to a fourth-rank or higher alchemist, it can be refined into a fourth-rank pill called "Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill." This pill is powerful in restoring vitality; even if a martial artist's dantian is shattered and their meridians are severed, it can rebuild their foundation!

[Special Use]: The host possesses the physique of an emperor, ignoring the backlash of the medicine, and can directly consume and refine it raw. The energy absorption rate is 100%! At the same time, it will greatly enhance blood and qi values, bone tempering progress, internal organ transformation progress, and the artistic conception of fist techniques.

Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

Refining the Nine-Turn Heaven-Restoring Pill?

It certainly sounds incredible, but putting aside where to find those precious main ingredients, the mere fact that he's a fourth-grade alchemist is enough to stop him.

By the time he gathers all the necessary conditions, it will be too late.

Moreover, he doesn't need these healing pills right now.

"Strength only truly belongs to me when it is immediately transformed into combat power!"

"However, since it can be swallowed and refined raw..."

"Then let's give it a try!"

With a thought, Jiang Feng retrieved the Azure Carp King from the system's inventory.

"Splash!"

The Blue Carp King rolled around frantically, trying to escape.

But how could the river wind grant its wish?

The terrifying power of a third-rank, nine-star expert erupted, his ten fingers gripping the fish's body like iron clamps.

"Let's give it our all!"

He gritted his teeth and bit down hard on the soft belly of the Azure Carp King!

There was no nauseating fishy smell as I had imagined. The moment the fish meat was cut open, a unique fragrance, like that of nectar, rushed into my throat.

The fish melts in your mouth, turning into a stream of hot liquid that enters your body.

"boom!"

A fourth-tier treasure fish, every part of it is a treasure!

Even fish scales can be transformed into the purest form of energy.

In an instant!

Jiang Feng's skin instantly turned blood red, and white steam even rose from his head. His bones crackled and popped, and a violent heat wave surged through his body.

"System! Enter the martial arts training camp!"

Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and roared.

"Whoosh!"

The bedroom in front of me rippled and vanished like waves on water.

Instead, there is an ancient martial arts arena standing in the void!

On the arena stood a familiar figure.

He was a lean man with dark skin.

In the past week, Jiang Feng's head has been kicked and smashed by this man over a hundred times!

The lean man was also at the third rank, nine stars level, but his Shattering Star Kick was not only as fast as lightning, but he had also cultivated the leg technique's essence to the level of hidden strength!

The force penetrates the body and is impossible to defend against.

"I will kill you today!"

Feeling the energy almost bursting his body, Jiang Feng roared and the Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture began to circulate wildly.

"boom!"

He pushed off the ground with both legs and shot forward, his right fist aimed straight at the lean man's face.

The lean man remained expressionless, his figure flashing as his right leg lashed out at Jiang Feng's chest with a sharp whistling sound.

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

Jiang Feng's ribs snapped instantly, and a surge of internal energy erupted from his internal organs.

[You are dead. Resetting...]

With a flash of light, Jiang Feng reappeared on the arena.

[Burning Heaven Flame Fist Proficiency +50!]

[Qi and Blood Value +10!]

[Comprehension of the essence of boxing techniques +3!]

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment.

In just a short while, the artistic conception of the fist technique has actually increased by 3 points?!

You should know that he couldn't have improved this much even if he cultivated for a whole night before.

Treasure Fish!

The benefits of the treasure fish!

"kill!"

Jiang Feng didn't pause for even a second before lunging forward again.

Ten times, twenty times, thirty times...

Blood splattered on the arena, and the ring was constantly reset.

Jiang Feng's punches became faster and faster, and the flames on his fists became more and more solid.

He no longer relied solely on brute force, but began to feel the contraction of muscles, the trembling of bones, and the rhythm of blood gushing forth between life and death.

Just as the last trace of the medicinal effect of the treasure fish was squeezed out by the Burning Heaven Emperor Scripture and integrated into the body!

In Jiang Feng's mind, it was as if a morning bell and evening drum had suddenly resounded!

[Ding! Fist Technique Mastery: 100/100!]

[Congratulations, host, you have broken through to the 'Ming Jin' level!]

"boom!"

A crisp popping sound rang out in the air, the sound of power perfectly penetrating the air.

The so-called Ming Jin is to twist the strength of the whole body into a rope, concentrate it into a point, connect it from joint to joint, and reach the fist!

Seeing the shattering star kick sweeping towards him again, Jiang Feng did not dodge this time.

His eyes were like burning torches, his right fist suddenly clenched around his waist, and his spine sprang up like a great dragon, emitting a roar like thunder.

"Burning Heaven Flame Fist!!!"

A punch was thrown, and the internal force exploded!

The raging crimson blood energy transformed into a fiery meteor!

This punch was several times faster and more powerful than before!

A look of surprise flashed across the lean man's eyes. Before his whip kick could fully exert its force, Jiang Feng's fist, burning with flames, had already slammed hard into his chest.

"Bang!!!"

The lean man was blasted more than ten meters away and crashed heavily onto the edge of the ring.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating the recruit camp instructor "Liu Mang"!]

[Reward: Inherited martial art "Shattering Star Leg" (Proficiency: Masterful)!]

Before Jiang Feng could even savor the joy of victory, a flood of memories surged into his mind.

on the screen.

That's the top martial arts school in China.

Liu Mang was just a teenager, and because he couldn't afford the expensive tuition, he could only work as a humble sweeper.

But he was very stubborn.

He would secretly observe those masters every day and practice in the alley at night.

Until one day, a leg technique master with graying temples stood in the shadows watching him all night. Finally, he sighed and came out, personally correcting his posture and passing on his leg techniques.

The scene shifts to a sandstorm raging across the sky.

When Liu Mang grew up, he joined the army and went to the harsh northern frontier, where he stayed for thirty years.

Later, he became the most ruthless and cruel instructor in the recruit camp, training the new recruits madly. Among them, Jiang Feng, who had just joined the army, was beaten the most badly by him.

But every night, he would secretly take some safflower oil and rub the bruises on Jiang Feng, who would grit his teeth and not complain of pain.

Liu Mang valued the young man's tenacity and generously shared all his knowledge with him.

The two forged a deep bond that was both that of teacher and friend.

Ten years of drinking ice cannot cool the burning passion in one's blood.

After ten years in the military, Liu Mang's leg techniques became increasingly domineering, and he finally entered the "hidden strength" stage, creating his own killing move, "Shattering Star Leg".

However, the last scene in my memory is a cataclysmic beast tide.

When the monsters breached the city, in order to cover the retreat of the civilians and new recruits behind him, he single-handedly used his two fleshy legs to hold back several monsters.

In the end, he was pierced through the chest by the horn of a fourth-tier armored giant rhinoceros.

On his deathbed, his blood stained the snow-covered land of northern Xinjiang.

Liu Mang gazed in the direction of the capital, feeling no fear, only endless regret.

"In this life... I have no regrets about being born Chinese."

"I only regret that I couldn't reach the Grandmaster level and kill a few more beasts..."

The tide of memories recedes like the receding tide.

The empty ancient martial arts arena was completely silent.

Jiang Feng stood there blankly, his eyes already slightly red.

He looked ahead, where the lean man was gradually turning into golden specks of light and dissipating.

But before disappearing, the man turned back and glanced at Jiang Feng.

For the first time ever, a smile of relief appeared on that perpetually stern face.

"Xiao Feng, the future depends on you."

"Instructor Liu Mang!"

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, forcing back the stinging sensation in his nose.

"Your unfinished path to becoming a grandmaster, the beasts you haven't yet slain..."

"I, Jiang Feng, will die for you! I will wipe out your entire army!"
