The Almighty Ring - Chapter 422

Chapter 422

“Hehehe… you’re so cute little brother,” said one of the twin sisters .

Jiang Fei turned toward the source of the voice . When he finally landed his eyes on the girls, he had a minor shock . They were so incomparably beautiful . They were living, breathing models carved from marble . Better yet, their similarities were uncanny that you could analyze it with a magnifier and still fail to find any differences between the two .

Luckily, their uncanny similarities were only limited to their appearance . One of them had a cheerful smile; a sunshine personality . While the other girl was cold . If winter could be anthropomorphized, she would be the human version of that . They way she looked at Jiang Fei was as if Jiang Fei owed her a million dollars .

“Little Qing! Don’t be so rude!” said the quiet, solemn girl to the cheerful one .

“It is our honor to met Brother Jiang . We, sisters, are from the Jiangnan, the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace . My name is Yang Po and my sister here is called Yang Qing . ”

The colder one of the twin might have a stare that could freeze your entire soul but she was the polite one for she greeted . She dragged her cheerful, talkative sister and forced her to bow to Jiang Fei . Yang Qin, the supposedly cheerful one, took the chance when her sister was not looking and made a funny face at Jiang Fei .

“Ah…ah…haha…”

Before Jiang Fei could respond to that, Han Tianyu laughed bitterly . He then bent down and directly whispered into Jiang Fei’s ear, “The Southern Faction must have a lot of knowledge of the Northern Faction . My advice to you is to stay away from the sisters . I don’t think there’s any good if you don’t . ”

It has been established that Jiang Fei was more fixated on the Northern Faction since he had only been talking to Old Hai and the other two elders . Hence, to shake the stance, the Southern Faction had arrived in order to gain a more biased opinion from Jiang Fei .

After thinking of methods to do so, there was one way . Zhao Ganming was there due to his position in the faction . Since Jiang Fei was just a boy of sixteen years of age, how would he be talking to a thirty years old man?

Hence, there was a simpler method . In the same faction, the Aquamoon Heavenly Palace had sent two of their fighters who had the same position as Zhao Ganming . Compared to the old man, the girls would have a better chance at striking a relationship with Jiang Fei .

“The honor is mine, sisters!” said Jiang Fei as he saluted back . Jiang Fei was better at saluting others now for he had learned his lesson from Zhao Ganming . The problem was when Jiang Fei saluted the girls without flinching, Zhao Ganming felt a little sour . When he greeted Jiang Fei, the boy flinched, but when the girls did it, the boy smiled and greeted them without a problem . What the hell was that level of different treatment?

Even so, Zhao Ganming was a man of experience . He immediately understood that the boy was very new in this society . He knew that Jiang Fei had done it unintentionally . If Zhao Ganming had a grudge, it would be toward his own Southern Faction for sending him here when there was nothing for him to do! Jiang Fei himself might not be powerful yet, but he had a strong background . Even then, having an old man try to talk to him would be useless . Might as well just send the twins instead…

It was not that the Northern Faction was lacking young men and women . Now that the girls had made their debut, Jiang Fei might be drawn to them . Or so it seemed…

Once both factions had greeted Jiang Fei, everyone proceeded into the village . Almost everything was made of wood and stones instead of bricks and cement . The designs of the house and buildings were loyal to the architecture of ancient China . For those who studied martial arts, having to stay here was better as it was closer to nature .

On the way into the village, Han Tianyu took the chance and pulled Jiang Fei aside to explain the situation about the twins to prevent any further embarrassment .

Aquamoon Heavenly Palace was considered to be a large sect in the Southern Faction . There was a rumor that there was one Level 5 master within that sect . However, till this day, there was no proof of his existence . Yang Po and Yang Qin were the last two students of the master of the sect . They were thought to be the next leaders of the sect . The two sisters had very different personalities . One was serious while the other was always playing around and loved to prank others . That was why Han Tianyu had warned them since the two would never separate .

The twin sisters were smart and gifted as they were the last disciples the sect leader took in . (1) With sufficient resources and teachings, the growth rate of the twin sisters was fast and strong . At a young age, they had already become Level 3 fighters . In comparison, Han Tianyu, a man approaching the age of twenty, was only at the peak of Level 2 .

“I know that I’m weak . But know this, I am a businessman! I don’t have the talents like others, or like you . In fact, even if I were rich, I can never have the resources that the twins have! Besides, I’m always busy with other stuff . I cannot devote myself to martial art training all the time . Jack of all trades, master of none . Well… technically, I am a master in trades . Hahaha!” Han Tianyu had to explain his stature since after he had done talking, Jiang Fei gave a disapproving look .

After walking some distance, everyone entered a large building and sat down on the floor according to their positions . Jiang Fei was calm and cool even though he knew that it might take a while . He had already informed his mother about coming home late . Even then, he would still have to go back before the next day .

“Apologies masters, brothers and sister, I have things to tend to later . Could we jump straight to the main topic?”

“A straightforward man . I like that attitude!”

At first, Zhao Ganming wanted to start with a few ceremonial speeches but since Jiang Fei had taken the leap, he had decided to play along friendly to gain some points with Jiang Fei . The speech that he had prepared was thrown aside . In his mind, he was thinking that he should not have been there if the faction’s purpose was to befriend the young man .

“There is a total of ten books of different arts and styles . Brother Jiang, please choose four out of the ten . The cost of the four books you choose would be twenty Evil Purging Pills!” said Old Hai as he carried a tray that was filled with wooden plaques with names and the descriptions of the martial arts engraved on them .

“Hmm . Please allow me to help myself,” said Jiang Fei politely as he looked through the wooden plaques . This was accounted for . There were many people in the martial art community who could memorize an entire book just by skimming through . Handing out plaques instead of the actual book was to prevent someone like that from stealing the content .

Once he had looked through the plaques, Jiang Fei himself knew that these were not the strongest arts or styles that the schools could offer . Even so, it was enough for Jiang Fei, at the moment .

Jiang Fei understood that the sects would never surrender their greatest styles just for the pills . Even if, the kung fu was strong . At the same time, they required just a beginner’s level of qi mastery to master the skill, which was very suitable for Jiang Fei since his total energy output was low . He was perhaps weaker but almost the same with Han Tianyu . All he needed then was to have the blood of a high-level Metahuman . 0541 could then manufacture a more potent Ant Egg Essence to further increase his power .

The matter of procuring the blood of a high-level Metahuman must not be known to the other martial artists . The China Martial Artist Alliance was a society with rules and morality . If they knew that someone like Jiang Fei wanted the blood of another human to increase their potential, Jiang Fei and his “master” would immediately be placed in a blacklist . If things got worse, Jiang Fei might even be expecting an attack by them .

After careful consideration, Jiang Fei selected four art styles . Lightning Palm, Pulse Cessation Finger Technique, Gliding Saint Step, and Tornado Kick .

These four arts required the circulation of qi but cannot project qi outside of the body . The mastery of qi of the skills was low, which was suitable for those of Level 3 or lower to practice . Amongst the ten books offered, nine of them were the same . Only one of them could use qi as a projectile means . However, since Jiang Fei had yet to fully master his qi flow, it was best to leave it out .

Lightning Palm was a simple skill that performed just like Jiang Fei’s Force Strike . It relied on inner energy and might have a weaker effect . The benefit of it was that it did not need charging nor did it have cooldown!

The Pulse Cessation Finger Technique was an acupuncture technique . When he was training with Old Hai, he learned about the human anatomy and the places of the acupuncture points .

The Gliding Saint Step was a kind of Qinggong that allowed fast movements . It was essential to Jiang Fei since he was always slow in running or moving .

Tornado Kick was the style that required the least amount of qi . However, it possessed the strongest damage output .

The last disciple . A Sect leader usually would take in more disciples and in this case, the sect leader had decided to not take in any more students as he/she had already decided a successor . In this case, the twin sisters .
