In the humble courtyard.
On a broken table.
All the food and drinks were already laid out.
Jiang Shi let Liu Si taste everything one by one, and only after confirming there was no poison did he nod slightly and start eating with peace of mind.
The others had awkward expressions, watching quietly from the side.
"By the way, Liu Si, let me ask you something. How does one become an Inner Sect Disciple? Do you know?"
Jiang Shi asked as he chewed on a chicken leg.
"Brother Jiang, you can apply right now. As long as you train the Dragon and Snake Force, and it's confirmed by the manager, you can immediately become an Inner Sect Disciple."
Liu Si quickly responded.
"Really?"
Jiang Shi frowned.
He wanted to apply, but hadn't he yet mastered the Dragon and Snake Force?
"Is there any other way?"
"Well... I don't know."
Liu Si said awkwardly.
"Do you think if someone has Innate Divine Power, they could become an Inner Sect Disciple?"
Jiang Shi asked again.
"Well... I'm not sure."
Liu Si responded.
The other few also looked embarrassed.
Jiang Shi appeared deep in thought.
It seems it's best to wait a while longer.
Oh well, waiting a bit longer won't hurt.
After all, my power increases every day.
When the time comes, with tens of thousands of pounds of power, why bother with the Inner Sect?
Even if the Sect Leader personally invites me, I wouldn't go!
But the only downside is that staying in the outer sect area makes accumulating Reputation Value too slow.
The unlocking of the next talent is an unknown far-off time.
Jiang Shi buried his head in food again.
On the side, Liu Si and the others couldn't help salivating, their stomachs rumbling.
Jiang Shi frowned, saying, "Sit down, let's have a drink together."
After all, with so much food, he couldn't finish it all himself.
"We wouldn't dare."
Liu Si and the others waved their hands hurriedly.
"Why so much nonsense, I told you to sit, so sit."
Jiang Shi said in a low voice.
"Yes, yes."
A group of them quickly sat down.
After a round of food and drink, they were all muddled and began to call each other brothers.
"Brother Jiang, rest assured, from now on, you won't need to trouble yourself with farming. We'll handle it for you, and even selling the grains in town can be our responsibility. Just one word from you, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Liu Si said, hiccuping from the drink.
"Yes, Brother Jiang rest assured, tomorrow we'll plant all your rice!"
"Just see how we perform."
The followers beside him patted their chests in promise.
Jiang Shi ignored them, focusing only on eating and drinking.
The meal dragged on for more than half an hour.
Liu Si and the others left the place in a daze.
Yet Jiang Shi, who drank almost the same amount, showed no signs of drunkenness.
This made him quite suspicious.
Could it be that after his increase in strength, his metabolism has sped up, making alcohol ineffective?
Jiang Shi, feeling full and satisfied, started practicing the Dragon and Snake Force in the courtyard again.
Early the next morning.
Liu Si and the others went to the city to buy seedlings, and in one day replanted Jiang Shi's field with chopped seedlings.
The other outer sect disciples clicked their tongues in surprise.
Liu Si and his group were typical bullies and rascals, and no one dared provoke them ordinarily, but now, facing Jiang Shi who mastered the Dragon and Snake Force, they had been tamed in a day.
Having power truly feels good...
Time passed.
While the other outer sect disciples worked hard daily, on this side, Jiang Shi diligently practiced his Martial Technique, moving like a tiger, and unconsciously, ten days had already passed.
Though in the ten days, he still hadn't felt any progress with the Dragon and Snake Force.
This left Jiang Shi quite frustrated.
"Perhaps this is related to the original owner's aptitude, and also to the low level of the Dragon and Snake Force secret manual."
Jiang Shi thought quietly.
The original owner had been tested by the Elder of Zhenwu Temple, confirming he had no martial talent, hence he was assigned as an outer sect disciple, which was enough to illustrate the poor aptitude.
Plus, Dragon and Snake Force is overly continentalized, so within just ten days, it's impossible to feel any progress.
But although Dragon and Snake Force hasn't been mastered, his strength has increased by another 1,000 pounds.
Reaching the terrifying level of 3,000 pounds!
A slight movement of the fist can unleash devastating power.
This day at noon.
Liu Si and a few hooligans came again with a lot of good wine and food to visit Jiang Shi.
The group sat around under a crooked-neck willow tree in the courtyard, and began to feast heartily.
"Brother Jiang, why haven't you been willing to join the Inner Sect after all this time?"
Liu Si asked curiously with a smile.
"Yeah, Brother Jiang, if I trained and had Power like you, I wouldn't sit still for a single day and would have gone to the Inner Sect long ago."
"Exactly, once you enter the Inner Sect, your fate will be completely different, becoming truly someone beyond the ordinary."
Other hooligans chimed in.
"Eat your food; even eating can't shut your mouths."
Jiang Shi looked indifferent.
Hell, does he not want to become a part of the Inner Sect?
The crucial point is he hasn't trained to have Power!
Who knows how strict the upper-level assessments are at Zhenwu Temple?
If you really encounter those stubborn types, without training Power, they truly won't let you join the Inner Sect, in the end, the one embarrassed would be himself.
The hooligans laughed awkwardly, not daring to ask further.
Woo!
A gust of strong wind blew, causing the willow fluffs to flutter chaotically,
A large amount of willow fluff fell onto the dishes below.
The hooligans exclaimed in surprise, quickly stood up and hurriedly covered the dishes.
Jiang Shi frowned, raised his head to look at the willow tree above, an inexplicable agitation surged in his heart.
"Move aside!"
He slapped the table and commanded loudly.
The hooligans were startled, quickly got up, and looked at Jiang Shi.
"Move the table."
Jiang Shi ordered coldly.
"Yes, yes, quickly move!"
Liu Si, unsure of Jiang Shi's intent, still quickly beckoned a few others.
Jiang Shi walked to the crooked-neck willow tree, face cold, casually slapped the tree trunk, causing the whole willow tree to shake back and forth.
He snorted coldly, bent down, encircled his arms around the tree trunk, feet against the ground, suddenly let out a shout, and with a boom, the ground cracked open, all the veins in his body prominently visible, like thick earthworms, fierce and horrifying.
"Up!"
Boom! Boom! Boom...
A series of terrifying rumblings erupted, the whole ground seemed to tremble lightly, chunks of soil exploded continually, broken roots emerged slowly from the ground.
Liu Si and the others stared wide-eyed, shocked beyond belief.
Their mouths almost large enough to fit an egg.
"Ma...Ma, it's pulled out!"
"Brother Jiang has pulled it out!"
"Brother Jiang is mighty!"
...
The entire willow, as thick as a child's waist, rooted for seven or eight years, solid and immovable, was forcefully uprooted by Jiang Shi as if he were pulling a scallion, who could imagine this?
Is someone who has trained to have Power really this terrifying?
Rumble!
The entire thick willow was completely uprooted by Jiang Shi, veins bulging, blood rushing, willow leaves fluttering wildly, then he exerted force with both arms, raised the thick willow high above his head, feeling an overwhelming sense of courage, he couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Hahaha..."
A series of wild laughter echoed, shaking the courtyard.
All the hooligans covered their ears, feeling a piercing pain, even more shocked.
"Go!"
Jiang Shi shouted angrily, pushed lightly towards the wall, and the thick willow tree flew horizontally, landing heavily against the entire dirt wall.
Jiang Shi felt exceptionally satisfied, gently clapped his hands, sensing that there was still endless power inside him not yet unleashed.
3,000 pounds of immense force, truly terrifying!
Just don't know this 3,000 pounds of immense force, equivalent to which level of Entering Strength?
"But my physique is still too frail."
Jiang Shi frowned.
His current physique is almost identical to when he first transmigrated, without any change.
Still gaunt and sickly!
"Brother Jiang, with such Divine Power, it's incredible. If armed with a Weapon, it would be even more terrifying!"
Liu Si was shocked, walked up and said.
"Yeah, Brother Jiang, equipped with a Weapon, no one would be able to block it!"
"Brother Jiang, your prowess is unrivaled!"
Other hooligans chimed in.
