“I didn’t say that this is a lousy fighting technique. This is an awesome fighting technique. If you really want to call it the All-Kill Array, then it’s fine, really.” Objectively speaking, this fighting technique was really incredible, even though Ren Jie did think that its name was really bad.

This was because superior-grade fighting techniques were incredibly precious even in a family clan like the Rens. If a disciple wanted to learn it, they had to make a significant contribution. Every superior-grade fighting technique comprised of the effort of many generations or was painstakingly obtained from somewhere else. Hence, this old man was definitely very impressive for being able to create his own ultimate-grade fighting technique.

“Hey, don’t leave yet, let’s discuss this. Maybe you could call it the smiley-face? But this smiley face is really out of place on you. You didn’t get it just to scare me on purpose, right? Hm, now that I think about it, names are just another thing to call it. Why not just continue to call it the All-Kill Array?” Ren Jie did not feel sleepy at all. In fact, he felt more awake than ever after the smiley old man brought him along as he flew.

In order to break through, he had been training crazily. The whole night he practiced the Jade Emperor Refinement Technique and finally got used to the pressure and weight of level-3 before breaking through. This should have been quite taxing on his body, but at that moment his exhaustion had disappeared.

Ren Jie jumped off the bed and ran to the door, only to realize that the sun had risen.

“Goddamn it!” Even though the old man had disappeared, his voice still rang in Ren Jie’s ears the next moment. It was evident that the night’s event had left him displeased.

And he finally realized that Ren Jie was not caught up over the name but merely wanted to talk to him more.

When he heard this, Ren Jie purposely said more but realized that there was no reply—the smiley old man had finally left. He could tell from his personality that if he had not left then he would definitely say something in reply.

“All-Kill Array, not too bad…” Ren Jie mumbled to himself. This night had been pretty peculiar. It seemed that the Rens had too many secrets. The Elders’ Union that tried so hard to snatch power and constantly looked for troubles, as well as Sixth Uncle who really held power in the military and always sent a person over but never said anything. Ren Tianheng and Ren Tianqi who never made themselves known, and all the forces of the Ren family…

Now there was another powerful person who was at least of the Yin Yang Realm and could create a ultimate-grade fighting technique of his own and forced him to learn it…

Now that the sky was completely bright, Ren Jie did not feel like sleeping anymore. All he wanted to do was to walk out. He quickly came to the fighting arena outside and saw that the personal guards had started their training. After their individual consultations with Ren Jie, the entire troop of the personal guards had gone into a crazy state of training.

Firstly, Ren Jie had triggered them with his words, and then he led them in the sense that he was training in a discrete but intimidating manner. Last of all Ren Jie had helped them find the correct direction and helped answer any doubts they had. They were all elites handpicked by Ren Tianxing and their accumulated potential were all unleashed by Ren Jie using all kinds of methods. In these two days, many people had made breakthroughs, which pushed their training to an even higher peak.

Ren Jie believed that if he had more resources in the future and could raise his own level he would be able to help guide them, and they would become an unbelievably powerful team. Even though they were not large in numbers, they would still be a formidable team if everyone reached the True Qi Realm or Divine Power Realm.

The Elders were not concerned about him having control of the personal guards as they were too few in numbers and the Elders did not think that they were of any use. After all, the Ren family clan had almost 10,000 soldiers, excluding the private armies that the Elders maintained on their own. Not to mention the people who were working for the court and commanded a large troop of soldiers.

The second Elder’s son was a general in the Jade Capital, and then there was Ren Tianqi and Ren Tianhuang, the highest-ranking generals who commanded millions of soldiers each.

Quantity and quality were two different approaches. It was harder to pursue high quality. If they all reached the Divine Power Realm one day, then they would be comparable to a troop of one million soldiers.

Even though he was not very willing to do so, he was already thrown on this path and thus had no choice but to continue.

Even though they had enjoyed the peak of their glory for 20 years and at some point even thought to be above the royal family when Ren Tianxing was in control, Ren Jie was in a precarious situation now. The good thing was that he was Ren Tianxing’s son. The fact that he managed to learn the All-Kill Array, helped the personal guards correct their cultivation techniques, and discovered the medicine prescription allowed him to rise to a higher realm and benefitted him greatly.

This was because he had to have a higher realm in order to see through more problems. It made him feel much wiser than a genius when learning cultivation techniques, whether he was helping others or cultivating himself. This was because being of a higher realm was like standing on higher ground, which allowed him to see better. Even the most talented people had to slowly climb their way up, such was the difference between a talent and one of a higher realm.

If one wished to raise their capabilities, then they had to toughen themselves up. Hence, he thought about opening the channel again.

“Splash…” Unknowingly, Ren Jie had walked very far off while being deep in thought. Suddenly, his divine sense detected an old servant watering the plants 30 meters away. Ren Jie suddenly realized that after reaching level-4 of the Jade Emperor Refinement Technique his divine sense was now able to cover a much larger area. This was already far more than what a level-9 of the True Qi Realm was able to cover.

But Ren Jie was not concerned over this now as he suddenly thought of something. If he was not wrong, the smiley old man from the night before was probably in the Ren family.

Heck, didn’t that mean that the Ren family had a powerful person who was like those in novels who pretended to be a monk sweeping the floor? Not like Fatty Gao Ren, but a truly powerful person. When he thought of this, Ren Jie immediately went into the yard and to the old servant’s side.

“Uncle, take a rest and let’s talk.” Ren Jie spoke happily.

“I’m working, how can I chat. You’re the… ah… fam-family head. Greetings from an old man, fam-family head.” The old servant was actually not that old. Holding the pail as he watered the plants with his other hand, he raised his head and saw Ren Jie before quickly getting down on the ground to perform a greeting.

All the servants had to remember how the family head looked like as well as some other important members. The old servant was in a panic. Previously, even the distinguished nephew of the third Elder who was also one of the 12 vice-chief butlers had almost been beaten to death. Even though the Elders’ Union had been incredibly angry and also punished the family head for some reason. The servants themselves were all talking about it. This was the fight between the family head and the Elders’ Union, they had no wish to be involved.

The old servant was surprised as he was only a low-level servant and wondered why would the family head want to talk to him. He even addressed him respectfully. Could he have done something wrong?

He did not work in the family head’s yard and had worked here for decades without doing anything wrong.
