14: Internal energy cultivation? What kind of internal energy cultivation?
"Son, what's going on?" Chen Fugui, who was eating, poked his head out and asked.
"It's nothing, I just ran into a caravan. I told them to keep their distance."
Chen Heng didn't mind. He could even kill a White Zombie, let alone these Martial Artists who didn't even have Inner Strength.
"A caravan?" Chen Fugui was stunned for a moment.
"The Master isn't surnamed Mu, is he?"
"Dad, how did you know?" Chen Heng shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth and turned to look at Chen Fugui.
"Alright, the few of us are comfortable now." Chen Fugui chuckled, put down his bowl, and walked towards Mu Wanqing's carriage team.
"Dad?" Chen Heng was a little confused. What kind of madness was his old man getting into?
A few minutes later, Chen Fugui led Mu Wanqing and Liang Ben over.
"Come, meet him. This is my son, Chen Heng." Chen Fugui patted Chen Heng's shoulder with a smile.
"This is my old friend's daughter. You two even played together when you were little."
Chen Heng remained calm on the surface, but his right hand had already gripped his heavy saber.
He couldn't be sure if his old man had been bewitched by these people, so it was better to be cautious.
"Greetings, Young Master Chen." Mu Wanqing, who had spoken with Chen Fugui, was noticeably more demure and gave Chen Heng a slight bow.
"You really know each other?" Chen Heng was still a little unsure, but he had already believed it by three-tenths.
"Of course! That old fellow, her father, was raised by me personally." Chen Fugui motioned for the two of them to sit down.
"Oh, right, this is the third Master of the ι’ε± (security escort agency) that your father used to hire most often." Chen Fugui then introduced Liang Ben to Chen Heng.
"Brother Chen, is this the scrawny monkey from back then?" Liang Ben looked at Chen Heng with a bewildered expression.
He couldn't imagine that the half-dead little boy from back then had actually turned into his current appearance.
His physique was as strong as a wild ox, his stride was like a Dragon and a tiger, and his breathing was as intimidating as a roaring tiger.
"What are you saying, what scrawny monkey!" Chen Fugui lightly kicked Liang Ben.
Seeing this action, Chen Heng's originally tense mood relaxed a little.
Such small gestures were clearly only made by old friends of many years.
"This humble one, Chen Heng, greets Uncle Liang." Out of politeness to his old man's friend, Chen Heng still offered a greeting.
"Xiao Heng, what Realm of Martial Artist are you now?" Liang Ben was very curious. That Saber Qi just now had to be at least from an Inner Strength Martial Artist.
"My talent is weak. I've barely reached the Transformation Realm," Chen Heng cupped his hands and said humbly.
"?" Although Liang Ben was mentally prepared, he was still startled.
"How old... are you this year?" Liang Ben already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to confirm it.
"This humble one is sixteen this year," Chen Heng replied truthfully.
"Sixteen, huh..." Liang Ben gasped.
One must know that a normal Martial Artist who could reach the Transformation Realm before the age of thirty was already considered a Genius.
But this Chen Heng had reached the Transformation Realm at only sixteen, his future was unimaginable.
Of course, Liang Ben would never have guessed that Chen Heng had actually only taken four days to go from being powerless to reaching the Transformation Realm.
"Xiao Heng, I dare to ask a somewhat offensive question." Liang Ben looked at Chen Heng with burning eyes.
"Please speak, Uncle Liang." Chen Heng nodded, indicating that Liang Ben could ask.
"What Internal Skill do you Cultivate?" Liang Ben's question directly made Chen Heng freeze in place.
"Internal Skill?" Chen Heng was a little confused. He didn't seem to have Cultivated Internal Skill.
The Indestructible Vajra Divine Art belonged to hard Cultivation, and the White Tiger Geng Metal Saber was a saber technique.
"You... how did you Breakthrough to Inner Strength without Cultivating Internal Skill?" Liang Ben almost laughed.
You brat, you're already at the Transformation Realm and you're still pretending with me~
"What Internal Skill?" Chen Heng still had a head full of question marks. He really hadn't Cultivated Internal Skill.
His Breakthrough was entirely due to taking medicine.
"You can't have relied on an external martial art to Cultivate to this point, can you!?" Seeing that Chen Heng didn't seem to be faking it, Liang Ben felt completely unwell.
His worldview seemed to be collapsing.
As the third Master of the security escort agency, he naturally had some experience.
But he had never seen anyone reach the Transformation Realm by purely practicing external martial arts without Cultivating Internal Skill.
"Is Internal Skill very important?" Chen Heng rubbed his nose. He really didn't know there was such a thing as Internal Skill.
"Who is your Master?" Liang Ben frowned deeply.
"Such a good martial arts prospect, and they didn't give you Internal Skill. Isn't this misleading a student!"
"I just practiced by myself." Chen Heng wasn't lying. He really relied entirely on his own exploration.
"..." Liang Ben's heart was bleeding now. Such a good prospect actually didn't have a Master.
"Xiao Heng, you must know," Liang Ben said earnestly.
"Practicing external martial arts is very damaging to the body."
"And Internal Skill is responsible for repairing the injuries to your body."
"If you only Cultivate external martial arts and don't Cultivate Internal Skill, your body will eventually not be able to bear it."
"Old Chen, when we get to Qiyang City, you must find a high-grade Internal Skill for Xiao Heng."
"Otherwise, such a good prospect will truly be wasted."
Liang Ben looked at Chen Fugui very seriously, his tone extremely grave.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll definitely go look." Chen Fugui nodded repeatedly. This was the first time he had seen Liang Ben take someone so seriously.
"You are alone, so let's travel together later." Liang Ben's love for talent was aroused, and he planned to give Chen Heng and his group a ride.
"That would be even better." Chen Fugui was overjoyed. Now their safety would be greatly guaranteed.
Chen Heng originally wanted to refuse, but he looked at his old man and said nothing.
Apart from this Liang Ben, none of the remaining Martial Artists had surpassed Inner Strength.
So, he wasn't worried about these people having any ill intentions.
After everyone had eaten and rested, Chen Heng and his group followed behind Mu Wanqing's team.
In the leading carriage, Mu Wanqing and Liang Ben were talking face to face.
"Uncle Liang, is that Chen Heng really as you say..." Mu Wanqing hesitated, wanting to say more.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Liang Ben's judgment, but Chen Heng being at the Transformation Realm at such a young age was truly hard to believe.
"Of course, that child has abundant Qi and blood throughout his body, and he can even use Saber Qi without having Cultivated Internal Skill."
"He can be said to be a truly rare and top-tier martial arts Genius."
Liang Ben was still very confident in his own judgment.
"I understand." Mu Wanqing nodded, deep in thought.
At the same time, in Chen Heng's family carriage, Chen Fugui was carefully scrutinizing his son.
"He truly lives up to being a descendant of my Old Chen family, simply excellent."
"Yes, yes, Young Master is the best!" Xiao He, at his side, was responsible for playing along.
"You two quiet down for a bit." Chen Heng sighed.
Ever since Liang Ben called him a martial arts Genius, Chen Fugui had been as excited as if he had drunk fake wine.
"Son, when we get to Qiyang City, I will definitely get you a good Internal Skill."
"Even if it means losing everything, I won't hesitate."
