Donglin City is located in the westernmost part of Lanqu County.
"To the east of the city, look at the Jing family, the Jing family is famous all over the world!"
"Jing Jiaqiang, Jing Jiawang, Jing Jia's genius is famous far and wide!"
A year ago, even a three-year-old knew these two sentences throughout Donglin City.
The origin of these two sentences is because the Jing family produced a martial arts genius, Jing Yan.
Jing Yan stepped into martial arts at the age of five, became a warrior at the third level of martial arts at the age of six, became a warrior at the sixth level of martial arts at the age of eight, became a warrior at the ninth level of martial arts at the age of twelve, broke through the ninth level of martial arts at the age of fourteen, and became a strong person at the innate level.
You must know that in the entire Donglin City, there are not many strong people in the innate realm. Even among the big families in Donglin City, there are only about ten people who are strong in the innate realm.
It is inevitable that a fourteen-year-old innate powerhouse will shake the entire Donglin City.
When Jing Yan was sixteen years old, he successfully entered Shenfeng Academy, one of the three major academies in Lanqu County, and he was also the only warrior in Donglin City who entered the three major academies in the past ten years.
At that time, Jing Yan's brilliance shone throughout Donglin City, he was the glory of the Jing family, and was talked about by every Jing family child every day. Although he was only sixteen years old, Jing Yan was already a role model for countless young warriors in Donglin City.
However, just a year ago, Jing Yan was expelled from Shenfeng Academy and had to return to the family.
It is not uncommon for people to enter the Kamikaze Academy to practice, but are forcibly expelled. So as soon as the news spread, not only Jing Yan himself was ridiculed by the warriors in Donglin City, but even the Jing family became the object of ridicule after dinner.
But the reason why Jing Yan was expelled was because of the fall of the realm of martial arts.
That's right, less than half a year after entering Shenfeng Academy, Jing Yan's martial arts realm not only did not continue to improve, but fell, from the innate realm to the martial arts ninth level realm.
This is just the beginning, and in the following period of time, almost every month, Jing Yan's martial arts realm will drop by one level. Up to now, Jing Yan is only left with a mere cultivation of the third level of martial arts.
When they first returned to the family, the high-level members of the Jing family held several meetings specifically for Jing Yan, trying to find out the reason for Jing Yan's decline, but in the end they failed. The Jing family spent a lot of resources, and they couldn't stop Jing Yan's martial arts realm from falling, so they had to give up in the end.
Now that the Jing family mentions Jing Yan again, the loudest sound they make is a heavy and helpless sigh.
The most shining star in the past, but now it has fallen to the point where no one cares about it.
Jing Yan lives in a separate courtyard of the Jing family's residence.
When Jing Yan was shining brightly, warriors from the Jing family would come to this small courtyard to visit Jing Yan every day. But now, the entire other courtyard is dead silent, and it seems that there are no traces of birds.
In the room, Jing Yan sat cross-legged on the bed.
"call!"
Jing Yan, who had just practiced for a week, slowly opened his eyes, and a wry smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.
"It's still the same!" Jing Yan shook his head lightly, "The vitality that has been cultivated just now will disappear without a trace. What is the problem?"
Jing Yan was also very helpless.
My current self, every time I exercise and practice, I will also generate vitality, but every time I generate vitality, it will disappear without a trace within a few breaths after the exercise is over, as if it has never appeared.
The normal situation for warriors to practice is to generate vitality and then store it in the body. With more and more vitality, the realm of martial arts will gradually improve. But Jing Yan's body is like a hole in the bottom of a bottle, and he can no longer hold his vitality. No matter how much vitality is cultivated, it will flow away from this hole.
Jing Yan himself didn't know the reason.
This happened in the third month after he entered Shenfeng Academy. At the beginning, Jing Yan didn't pay much attention to it, but within a few months, his realm fell from innate to the ninth level of martial arts, and Jing Yan knew that there was something wrong with his body.
If ordinary people experienced such ups and downs, they would have given up on themselves long ago, but Jing Yan did not, and he never even had the idea of giving up martial arts. Even though his realm kept falling, Jing Yan still insisted on practicing every day, even if the vitality he cultivated every day could only keep a few breaths, he never slack off for a day.
"Could it be that I will really become an ordinary person?" Jing Yan looked at the twilight sky, "No! I don't believe it! I will definitely be able to regain my strength and return to the top."
"Continue to practice!" Jing Yan stood up, moved a little bit, and immediately sat down again to continue practicing.
Time is like running water, slowly passing away, gradually the night dissipates, and the dawn of dawn pours down.
For a whole night, Jing Yan circulated the kung fu for a full six weeks, and cultivated a lot of vitality.
"Don't disappear, don't disappear!"
While reaping the merits, Jing Yan silently chanted in his heart.
"Oh, it's still the same." Jing Yan shook his head again feeling that the vitality he had just cultivated disappeared at an astonishing speed. In fact, he also knew that the possibility of his vitality staying alive was very low, but after every practice, Jing Yan would give himself hope.
Hopes are shattered again and again, and then they are born again and again, just like this.
"Um?"
Just when Jing Yan was about to get up and go to the yard to exercise his muscles and bones, his thoughts moved slightly, and he noticed an unusual feeling. This time the vitality dissipated, it seemed that it was not exactly the same as before.
"How is this going?"
Jing Yan's eyes quickly landed on a ring on his finger.
This ring, called the Qiankun Ring, was more than a year old and was left to him by Jing Yan's grandfather. Jing Yan's grandfather, Jing Tian, was the head of the Jing family before he died a year ago. When Jing Tian passed away, Jing Yan was by Jing Tian's side. Jing Tian handed over the Qiankun Ring to Jing Yan and asked him to keep it safe and never lose it. Although Jing Tian didn't say what the significance of this ring is, Jing Yan knew that this Qian Kun Ring was extremely important.
Therefore, after getting the Qiankun Ring, Jing Yan never took the Qiankun Ring off his finger, and he always wore it no matter whether he was eating or sleeping.
And after this Qiankun Ring fell into Jing Yan's hands, there has never been any abnormal changes.
At this moment, on the Qiankun ring, there was a layer of milky yellow light flashing slightly.
Because the ring has never changed like this, Jing Yan frowned slightly, staring at the Qiankun Ring. He could feel a faint warmth from the Qiankun Ring.
At first, the warm feeling only stayed near the palm, but after a few breaths, the warm feeling spread throughout Jing Yan's whole body. Not only did the creamy yellow halo emanating from the surface of the ring show no sign of disappearing, but instead became more and more intense.
