The only one left to turn to is her sworn sister, Momo, who is closest to the great demon, but she's currently busy with her training. Moreover, Momo is a genius with a unique understanding of combat, possessing an extraordinary talent for learning from her opponents' abilities during battle. She's a genius as a student, but her talent is so extraordinary that she's unlikely to be able to teach others.

Even Wang Zi didn't learn martial arts from Mo Mo, so Qin Jing probably had no choice but to accept it.

As for Wang Zi, Seba, and the other two, Qin Jing said she refused. After all, he was a grown man, how could he learn how to fight from girls his own age?

After struggling with this decision for a long time, Qin Jing finally made a decision.

After school, we arrived at another hill outside the school mountain and climbed the long stone steps. At the top was a solemn and majestic ancient-style building with red walls and green tiles. The vermilion gate was inlaid with raised round brass stones. In front of the gate stood four giant wolf sculptures in different poses. Some were howling at the sky, some were resting with their eyes closed, some were looking ahead, and some were glaring at their feet.

Not far from the gate, you can see many practitioners dressed in training clothes, some meditating and others kneeling.

This is the Wolf God Martial Arts Academy. Qin Jing had actually been brought here by Mo Mo once or twice before.

As a sworn brother who had made a pact with Momo, he was nominally considered a member of this place, and in principle, he should have been brought here to live.

It was only because of his special status as a human brought by Qiongqi and a disciple chosen by Su Jiu that the Wolf God Martial Arts Academy allowed him to live outside.

Qin Jing knocked gently on the door, which was quickly opened.

The door was opened by a young disciple dressed in a black martial arts uniform. When he saw Qin Jing, he smiled and said, "Uncle Qin Jing, you're back. Grandmaster and Master are inside. Please make yourself at home."

"Thank you." Qin Jing smiled and walked into the martial arts academy. The disciples then closed the gate tightly again.

Many newly arrived cultivators outside stood up in disbelief, watching a child who, apart from having a somewhat unusual aura, was otherwise very weak, walk into the sacred place they had longed for but could never glimpse.

And once again, I watched helplessly as the gates closed. This was the rule of the Wolf God Martial Arts Academy. Unless a demon possessed the potential to be recognized by the Wolf God, they weren't even qualified to enter the academy's outer gates.

Every year, hundreds or even thousands of demons kneel outside the gate, hoping to enter as a menial disciple and have the opportunity to cultivate alongside the Wolf God—a sacred martial arts land that countless demons aspire to but are denied entry to.

Qin Jing, however, walked easily on the brown wooden plank eaves inside the martial arts academy. In the outer courtyard square, there were many disciples dressed in black training clothes, practicing their skills.

"Xiao Jing, it's rare to see you come here alone. Mo Mo and Wang Zi haven't returned yet," a hearty and powerful voice came from inside the room.

"Hello, Master Chef!" Qin Jing bowed and greeted the man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a watermelon-shaped haircut who was standing there.

This man was none other than Wolf God's outstanding disciple, and also a seasoned great demon himself. He was Wolf God Kai, the master instructor at the Martial Arts Academy who taught martial arts to the disciples in place of Wolf God.

Although this man was not a blood relative of the Wolf God, he gained the Wolf God's recognition through his own efforts and was bestowed with the title of Wolf God.

Back then, he was a well-known hard worker. Wang Zi was following him to learn martial arts, taking him as his role model, and practicing hard every day.

"What brings you here today?" the head chef asked.

"Yes, Master, I actually came to the Martial Arts Academy today to learn more," Qin Jing explained her purpose.

"Oh, oh, oh, my lovely grandson has finally figured it out and wants to officially join the Wolf God Academy?" A hearty laugh rang out, and a robust old man with white hair and beard stepped out. He was truly the master of this place, the greatest of all the great demons who had personally earned the title of 'Wolf God'.

"Hello, Grandpa, I'm sorry to bother you," Qin Jing said with a bow.

"Hahaha, Xiao Jing, you're welcome to bother me every day!" the old man laughed.

The disciples around him all looked shocked. Their master, who was so stern to other demons, only showed affection to his granddaughter. But it seemed that this special case also applied to his newly adopted grandson.

"Xiao Jing, let me show you around the Wolf God Academy," the old Wolf God said with a hearty laugh.

"Thank you, Grandpa, you've gone to so much trouble," Qin Jing said, expressing her gratitude.

"Kai, you come with me too." The old man walked forward.

"Yes, Master," the head monk replied respectfully, bowing his head.

Wolf God Martial Arts Academy occupies an entire mountaintop, and the buildings of the academy are very spacious, comparable to the palaces of ancient emperors.

The martial arts academy has a strict hierarchy, with several courtyards separating the outer and inner gates, and disciples in each courtyard undergoing different levels of training.

From the initial black-robed handyman disciple to the gray-robed entry-level disciple, one must overcome several hurdles to become a white-robed inner disciple and gain the qualification to enter the inner academy for cultivation.

Above them are the direct disciples personally taught by the Wolf God. In the past hundred years, apart from his granddaughter Mo Mo, no other disciple has received this honor.

Section 166, Chapter 99: Seeking a Hermit in the Mountains, but Not Finding Him

Led by the old man, Qin Jing slowly walked inside, passing through one large courtyard after another connected by eaves, and gradually went deeper into the courtyard, where she could hear some sounds.

Here, every courtyard serves as a training ground, with different areas allocated to disciples at different stages.

"Drink! Ha! Drink! Ha!" Loud shouts of masculine martial arts practice echoed from the martial arts academy. The black-robed disciples on the outermost edge were practicing their stances and punches, honing their fundamentals and laying a solid foundation for their future cultivation.

Further inside, the gray-robed disciples were strengthening their muscles using various training machines, lifting heavy objects, and some were even sparring and fighting each other.

As you pass each courtyard, you can clearly see the bulging muscles of the disciples inside growing larger and larger; they are now all bodybuilding champions with arms thicker than their thighs.

As you continue walking inward from the outermost edge, the intensity of the training increases.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, Qin Jing saw a group of muscular men ramming their bodies against a massive stone pillar. Several of them, some with significantly less muscle, were still dripping blood, yet they continued ramming without any apparent awareness.

Upon closer inspection, the deep, smooth indentations on the stone pillars appear to be not natural, but rather the result of being worn into them by the impact of piles of muscle.

"Although our Wolf God School is not a sect that excels in physical strength, in order to hone powerful demonic energy, a strong will and a strong body are indispensable."

"Of course, even a monster couldn't withstand this level of training at first, so I first suggest starting with basic exercises like jogging 100,000 meters, squatting 1,000 times, and doing 1,000 push-ups every day," the master chef explained.

"I'm sorry, I'll have to find another way," Qin Jing said, her face ashen. So, Wang Zi had been practicing the same thing here every day, and then going out to do extra training on his own?

"Haha, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it. As long as you settle down here, I'm looking forward to you and Momo having a great-grandson soon!" the old man said with a loud laugh.

"Huh?" Qin Jing's expression changed. Was this some kind of marriage proposal? In ancient China, whether it was the Han or the Tang Dynasty, being a son-in-law was considered shameful.

"Ah, Xiaojing, whether you become my grandson or my granddaughter-in-law, I'll welcome you with open arms," ​​the old man continued with a smile.

"Ah? Ah! Grandpa! Master, I'm so sorry to have bothered you today! Thank you so much for letting me visit. I'll head back now." With that, Qin Jing conjured a fox tail and unleashed all her spiritual power, running away at a speed she had never experienced before.

"Master, is it really okay to just let Xiao Jing go like this? Our Martial Arts Academy could have designed a cultivation method specifically for him that is suitable for the human body," the head master asked.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. If fate allows, this child will eventually return here. My granddaughter isn't the type to give up something she sets her sights on so easily," the old man said with a hearty laugh.

"Uncle-Master, please take care."

With a tense expression, Qin Jing walked out of the gate as the black-robed disciple opened the door to see him off. As soon as he stepped out, he started running again, and only stopped when he reached the steps leading down the mountain.

The cultivators who witnessed this scene were very puzzled.

"Why did you come out? And you look so scared?"

What kind of terrifying beings reside within the Wolf God Martial Arts Academy?

"Ah, isn't that the child who ran away Shizutsuki-chan?" a monster recognized Qin Jing and said.

"Jingyue-chan, who is that?" the cultivator asked in confusion.

"Haven't you watched any recent TV dramas?" the monster asked.

"No, I have been cultivating diligently for many years, and I have been meditating here all the time except when I eat," the cultivator said.

"No wonder then. Let me tell you all about it. This is a future superstar whose fame has already spread across many realms. His/her name resounds throughout the human world and this place. The demons of the demon realm dream of making a contract with him/her. It is said that even Lord White Tiger wanted to snatch him/her away from the academy." The demon embraced the cultivator as if preaching, patiently recounting the story.

The cultivators were speechless, nodding repeatedly in amazement.

Qin Jing, who had just escaped the martial arts academy in a harrowing escape, was now lost in confusion. Martial arts training was incredibly arduous; it was not something that could be achieved casually.

'Is there really no martial art suitable for me here?' Qin Jing thought with some disappointment, lowering her head as she descended the mountain.

"Xiao Jing! Xiao Jing!"

"Hey, little brother."

Two shouts came from below and ahead. Qin Jing looked over and saw that it was the two sisters, Mo Mo and Wang Zi, who had returned home after cultivating outside.

"Sister, Wangzi, have you finished your cultivation?" Qin Jing greeted them.

"Okay! Then there's evening class after dinner," Wang Zi replied with a smile.

"Little brother, I heard from Wang Zi that you're looking for a master to teach you martial arts. You didn't go to see the old man, did you?" Mo Mo asked astutely.

"Yes, but the training methods of the Wolf God Academy are really too inhumane, no, demonic." Qin Jing said helplessly. Now he could understand why Mo Mo always made fighting look like a demolition.

"Well, you can't do it at first, but if you persevere, you'll become very strong," Momo said.

"Hmph! I passed the test and became an inner disciple during my vacation!" Wang Zi said proudly.

Qin Jing found it hard to imagine that Wang Zi was like those shirtless strong men, spending his days crashing into those hard boulders.

However, he respected Wang Zi even more. It turned out that this child not only received such training every day, but also kept adding extra training for himself.

“But compared to the old man! If you want to learn martial arts, just come to me directly! You’re being too formal!” Mo Mo said, putting his arm around Qin Jing’s neck.

"Because you've been busy cultivating lately, right, and... you're too much of a genius, you don't know how to teach me martial arts at all, do you?" Qin Jing said bluntly.

“How could I not understand? No matter how you look at it, I’m the most suitable teacher to instruct you, little brother!” Momo said defiantly.

"Then tell me, how do you plan to teach me?" Qin Jing said.

“I’ll demonstrate it a few more times, and you’ll remember it and then you’ll get it,” Momo said matter-of-factly.

"I don't understand at all," Qin Jing complained. He didn't have the Sharingan, so was this the difference between an ordinary person and a genius monster?

"Tch... You don't want me to teach you, and neither does Wangzi! Do as you please!" Mo Mo said unhappily.

As a hard-working person, Wang Zi understood Qin Jing's perspective and offered some very good advice: "No matter what kind of martial art you use, a good body is key. In short, start with something that won't harm your body. Run ten kilometers every day, do 100 squats, and 100 push-ups."

"No, I always feel like I'll go bald. Forget it, let's call it a day. I'm going home now. Goodnight." So Qin Jing rejected this approach.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Wang Zi didn't quite understand what getting stronger through exercise had to do with going bald, but he still waved goodbye to Qin Jing.

Back in the dormitory, Seba had already set the table with bowls and chopsticks, while a blue-haired girl wearing a panda apron came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of grilled fish.

"Thank you, Whale. Please cook for me." Qin Jing quickly went inside to wash her hands and helped bring the other dishes to the table.

"You're welcome. We should take turns cooking anyway. And... Xiaojing, has my 'bride charm' increased again? Has my affection level gone up?" Whale asked shyly.

"Mmm, this fish is delicious. Your cooking skills have really improved. Thank you for your hard work," Qin Jing said, taking a bite of the tuna.

"Mmm, even the fish cooked by whales is incredibly delicious!" Seba exclaimed, quickly devouring the fish and rice.

"Hmm... but this is what I want to hear." Whale picked up a slice of sashimi, dipped it in wasabi, put it in his mouth, and said with narrowed eyes.

Tonight's meal is a seafood feast, featuring seafood dishes that Whale excels at, including sashimi, fish head with chopped chili, braised fish, grilled fish, stir-fried squid tentacles, braised abalone, sea cucumber and shark fin soup, and more. This is all based on Whale's own appetite, and we've decided to make sure everyone is full.

However, one advantage of having Seba around is that there will never be any leftovers.

"By the way, Xiaojing, how's your martial arts training with Teacher Su Jiu going?" Whale asked.

Seba looked up as well, but continued eating.

"Hmm, no, I haven't been able to find a martial art that suits me," Qin Jing said.

“Then learn Mermaid Jujitsu from me! It’s a powerful martial art that’s on par with Mermaid Karate.” Whale indicated that he was quite willing to discuss Mermaid Jujitsu’s joint techniques with Qin Jing.

"Yes, in bed!" Whale said shyly, cupping her face in her hands.

"No need!" Qin Jing refused without even thinking.

Section 167, Chapter 100: A Grandmaster Resides Deep in the Bamboo Forest

Upon hearing Qin Jing's rejection of Whale, Seba, who was standing nearby, suggested:

"Then Xiaojing, you can learn swordsmanship from me! Although Magical Merry said that this is the swordsmanship of the King of Magical Girls to blast enemies into the sky, I am not a magical girl and I can use it just as well."

"Wait, I've wanted to ask this for a long time, what is this Magical Merry?" the whale asked curiously.

“Magical Mary is an immortal fairy who lives inside a curry stick in search of a contractor, but it seems that the king she is waiting for no longer exists in this world. So she has now left and is living the life of a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) as a blogger on the internet in some tower,” Seba explained.

"Is that so? I understand even less now," the whale retorted.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Anyway, if Xiaojing wants to learn martial arts, then learn swordsmanship from me!" Seba invited again.

“But weapons aren’t allowed in the competition, so I’ll try looking again tomorrow.” Despite Seba’s enthusiasm, Qin Jing still declined.

"Is that so?" Seba replied somewhat disappointedly, picking up his bowl, picking up some food, and turning his frustration into a good appetite.

The next day, Qin Jing arrived at school and looked around. Her monster underlings were of no use to her at all.

So during her free time, Qin Jing went to the principal's office.

"What? You want to learn martial arts from me? I can't teach you that," Qiongqi said helplessly.

"Why?" Qin Jing asked in surprise. Qiongqi, a legendary demon and one of the "Four Fiends," shouldn't be a weakling like Su Jiu.

"Because I'm a monster from the physical faction, I fight based on instinct. If you had wings, teeth, or claws like me, I could teach you some fighting and hunting techniques," Qiongqi said, shrugging.

"Isn't there any other choice?" Qin Jing, who only had a fox tail, asked with difficulty.

"Well, most great demons have powerful physical bodies or innate energy. Those who truly rely on skills are actually a minority. After all, people like me who fight based on instinct and intuition have long since developed the most suitable fighting style for their bodies over thousands of years. There is no need to study any application methods."
