11:30.

Hoo—

Jiang Ning exhaled the heat accumulated in his abdomen and opened his eyes.

"Your Inner Strength Method is quite extraordinary! It far surpasses the scope of superior martial arts!!" Wang Qintan finally spoke at this moment.

"Can you see it?" Jiang Ning stood up and said.

"Of course I can see it!" Wang Qintan nodded, "Your Inner Strength Method draws Great Sun Essence Qi into the body and refines the five viscera and six organs. Sooner or later you may sense the existence of Golden Crow Divine Fire, and it's not impossible to summon it!"

At this point, Wang Qintan looked at Jiang Ning with a curious expression.

"I really wonder where you got such mysterious and profound Inner Strength Method! It gives me a sense of something beyond the realm of normal martial arts!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled. He was not surprised in his heart.

After all, this was derived from Ancient Immortal Dao, a technique created by the ancestors and sages who extracted the essence of Immortal Dao, surpassing superior martial arts.

Its profoundness and subtlety are naturally praiseworthy.

That Wang Qintan could see the mysterious subtlety of this technique did not surprise him.

After all, Wang Qintan was no ordinary lady; she had a great background.

Wang Qintan saw Jiang Ning's expression and couldn't help but purse her lips.

She knew Jiang Ning misunderstood her.

The realm she referred to, beyond the normal scope of martial arts, was not just the realm of superior arts and sect-defining martial arts.

But a higher level realm.

In her opinion, if ordinary superior martial arts are equivalent to Fourth Grade Martial Artists.

Martial arts that surpassed superior are equivalent to above Third Grade.

And looking at Jiang Ning's Inner Strength Method now, it has the taste of surpassing the peak of First-grade Martial Arts.

Just then.

Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.

"Was someone here just now?"

Wang Qintan came back to her senses, "Yes, Prince Huaian's second son, Lu Zhao just came by!"

"Lu Zhao?" Jiang Ning showed a slightly different color: "That person just now was Prince Huaian's second son?"

"Indeed!" Wang Qintan nodded, "Your little maid saw him outside the door."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning looked at the recently appeared Lv Yi.

"Master, just now while you were practicing, three people came to visit, and the leader indeed claimed to be Lu Zhao."

Jiang Ning nodded.

He had perceived the commotion outside the door just a moment ago.

With only a courtyard and a wall separating them, he naturally heard the noise just now.

"Strange!" Jiang Ning murmured, "According to the rumors outside, Prince Huaian's youngest son has a vile and unruly nature! Just now he came to the courtyard, yet he left just like that?"

"It is quite strange!" Wang Qintan nodded slightly, a puzzled look appearing on her face.

"Master, do you think he might fear your fame?" Lv Yi spoke up.

Jiang Ning slowly shook his head, "I am merely the Dongling County Patrol Envoy, while Lu Zhao is one of Prince Huaian's only two sons; his father is Prince Huaian, why would he fear me?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Wang Qintan shook her head with a smile.

Then added, "You still underestimate yourself! Achieving Third Grade and becoming a Heavenly Human Grandmaster at this age! Anyone with understanding knows this represents significant meaning."

Elsewhere.

A stern man in black stood at the alley leading to Jiang Ning's location, giving his own little prince a puzzled look.

Lu Zhao's sudden character change puzzled him.

"Wang Jiu, let's go! Noon has passed!" Lu Zhao said quietly.

"Fine!" Black-clad Wang Jiu nodded and followed along.

A moment later.

Wang Jiu stepped forward and knocked on the door of Jiang Ning's courtyard again.

A few breaths later.

The courtyard door opened accordingly.

"The three of you, my master has been waiting for quite a while!" Lv Yi came out.

"Please, lady, lead the way!" Lu Zhao said with a smile.

Then.

Led by Lv Yi, Lu Zhao and the two others entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was small.

At a glance, he saw Jiang Ning sitting under the bamboo forest.

At the moment he saw Jiang Ning, Lu Zhao's eyes slightly narrowed.

At this moment, he could perceive no aura from Jiang Ning.

As if Jiang Ning had merged with the entire universe and nature, without the slightest leakage of breath.

A wind blew.

The bamboo forest swayed, rustling.

Looking at Jiang Ning's features, Lu Zhao was moved in his heart.

He knew Jiang Ning was very young; all those reports had long recorded Jiang Ning's life story.

But he always harbored a trace of disbelief in his heart.

His father was an Alien King of Great Xia, titled a prince by martial strength.

His elder brother also perfectly inherited his father's talent, entering the Third Grade Heavenly Person realm early.

The outside world highly praised his elder brother, claiming he had the potential of Martial Arts Peak.

Born into such a family, his understanding of martial arts was deeper.

More clearly aware of how exaggerated it was for Jiang Ning to step into Third Grade Heavenly Human Grandmaster at such an age.

That was an achievement far beyond even what his father had reached.

He knew that whether it was his elder brother or his father arriving here, they would choose to befriend Jiang Ning.

Such an outstanding genius, if crossed, one must ensure to eliminate him while still in the cradle; otherwise, he will eventually retaliate.

And crossing paths, becoming enemies, is the most foolish approach.

Also the most worthless approach.

The best approach is to make friends; the worst, do not make enemies, treat each other as strangers.

After reading Jiang Ning's information, he had made up his mind.

Seeing him in person now, there was no longer any doubt.

"Lord Jiang, I am Lu Zhao, Prince Huaian's second son!"

Lu Zhao actively took a step forward and introduced himself.

"Little prince's actions today are indeed contrary to the rumors circulating outside!" Jiang Ning did not act high and mighty, rising to greet him.

Just now, while he was practicing, Lu Zhao visited but left; this was already a gesture of goodwill.

In the face of Lu Zhao's goodwill, there was no need for him to needlessly provoke a rival.

After all, Lu Zhao's father was Prince Huaian.

Besides, having more friends rather than more enemies is always far better when venturing outside.
