To be honest, deep in his heart, Junior Leopard didn't like Zhu Ba at all. This guy was vulgar, rude, cruel, greedy, wretched, and lecherous. It seemed that all the shortcomings of a man could be completely shown in him.
If it were someone else, Junior Leopard would have found a way to drive him away.
However, Junior Leopard accidentally found that Zhu Ba had something that ordinary people didn't have: the Gifted Bloodline.
Just like Junior Leopard's Fiery Eyes, Zhu Ba had an ancient bloodline flowing in his body and possessed the Divine Sense of the ancient bloodline. However, even he didn't know this. He really thought that Junior Leopard regarded him favorably because he had a good aptitude and was honest.
Ever since he knew that he had Fiery Eyes, Junior Leopard had been deliberately paying attention to things related to the Gifted Bloodline. Over the years, he had also read a lot of books and had a certain understanding of the Gifted Bloodline in this world. To put it bluntly, the Divine Sense of the Gifted Bloodline was similar to the Bloodline Inheritance in the comics he had read in his previous life. It could only exist in a specific group and be passed down in the form of bloodline. This was the case for the Fiery Eyes, the Thunder Spirit Body of the Lei Family of Tian Long Taoism, and the Divine Sense of Zhu Ba was the same, although his talent hadn't been awakened.
There were very few people in this world who had the Gifted Bloodline, and among them, there were even fewer people who could awaken the power of the bloodline.
There were not many families like the Lei Family of Tian Long Taoism who could awaken the Gifted Bloodline from generation to generation. There were only two families in the whole Jin. Looking at the whole world, there were only ten families like this. For the rest of the people, it was impossible for them to even know about it, let alone awaken it.
Just like Zhu Ba, he didn't even know that he had the Gifted Bloodline. As time went by, the power of the Gifted Bloodline would become weaker and weaker in people's bodies without being awakened. In the end, it could only be annihilation.
Zhu Ba himself did not know that he had a gifted bloodline, but Junior Leopard discovered Zhu Ba's abnormality through his Fiery Eyes.
Zhu Ba was an extremely rude guy. He seldom reported to Junior Leopard through the gate guards. He always went straight into the Inner Yard. Once, when Junior Leopard was practicing his Fiery Eyes, Zhu Ba went straight in. At that time, when Junior Leopard's Fiery Eyes were fully activated, he found a mysterious power contained in Zhu Ba's eyes.
What shocked him the most was the effect of the Fiery Eyes on him after discovering this power.
Greed, extreme greed!
At that moment, the thought of devouring the power in Zhu Ba's eyes flashed in Junior Leopard's mind. It was a strong possessiveness and the most primitive greed.
This kind of greed was directed at the heart without any restraint. With Junior Leopard's temperament, he couldn't suppress this kind of greed that came from the depths of his heart. What he needed to do was to let nature take its course and seize Zhu Ba's power in the safest and most unobtrusive way.
That was why Junior Leopard's attitude towards Zhu Ba was so different from others. He even spread a feeling that Zhu Ba's aptitude was extremely high, which was to his liking. Therefore, he would focus on cultivating Zhu Ba. He would call him over to check on his martial arts progress. In fact, it was indeed so. Every time he left Zhu Ba alone, Junior Leopard would check on his progress.
He conquered River Heart Island and seized everything in Broken Dragon Beach, including Li Sanbao's Cross Training Diamond Body, which allowed him to cross the Luo River. After leaving Zhu Ba alone, Junior Leopard taught him this kind of method and answered the problems he encountered in practice one by one, just like a master teaching his disciple.
Therefore, among the people who practiced Cross Training Diamond Body on River Heart Island, Zhu Ba made the fastest progress. Now, Zhu Ba's martial arts was second only to Junior Leopard in the Water Camp. He could be said to be the first expert after Junior Leopard.
This alone was enough to make others envy him to death.
Although Junior Leopard was young, everyone knew that he was a genius in martial arts. Besides, he came from a famous family and became a Level Four expert at a young age. His combat capability was even more terrible. With his growth speed, it was very likely that he would enter the Level Seven realm in the future.
For the uncouth people in the Water Army, having such a person to teach martial arts was exactly what they wanted.
Therefore, no one ever doubted that Junior Leopard was too young to teach others martial arts. All the guys in the Water Camp were eager to catch Junior Leopard's eye. It would be good if they could get a few pointers from him.
It was just that ordinary soldiers didn't have much contact with Junior Leopard. They didn't have the chance. Even if they met, they didn't have the guts to ask for advice. As for Wang Cheng and the others, they were too old to ask for advice. Therefore, in their eyes, Zhu Ba was naturally a lucky guy.
However, this lucky guy didn't know how lucky he was. Every time he went back from Junior Leopard's place, he would complain that the Commander's requirements were so strict that he couldn't stand it at all. Then he would list the lessons that Junior Leopard left for him and the things that he didn't understand. Every time, he would make others gnash their teeth in hatred and want to kick this guy to death.
Therefore, every time Junior Leopard made Zhu Ba look bad in front of everyone, they would gloat and never intercede for him.
Although Zhu Ba was a vulgar scoundrel, he was not a fool. He knew that Junior Leopard would bring him benefits when he looked up to him. Therefore, although he often complained, he was very protective of Junior Leopard. He could complain at the side, but if someone else spoke ill of Junior Leopard in front of him, he would be the first to rush up and beat the person up.
"Your Excellency, I've finished the homework you assigned to me!" Following Junior Leopard to the backyard, Zhu Ba immediately showed a flattering smile on his face. His eyes narrowed into the shape of a crescent moon. "Do you have something good for me today?"
"Yes, but don't mention it to others!" Junior Leopard said with a smile. He took out a parcel from the house. "This is a medicinal herb used to wash and refine the body. I've used it, but the effect is not good. But I don't need you now. Take it. This amount can be used four times. It's very good for improving your physical strength!"
"This …!"
Zhu Ba's body suddenly froze. He stared at the parcel in Junior Leopard's hands for a long time. Then he raised his head. What made Junior Leopard feel a chill was that this guy's eyes were full of tears.
Then, with a strange cry, he suddenly knelt down.
"Your, Your Excellency …!" Zhu Ba said in a trembling and excited voice. He looked at Junior Leopard with a very ambiguous and affectionate look. "Your Excellency, you treat me like a second parent. I have nothing to repay you. From now on, I will do my best to serve you, even if I have to sacrifice my life!"
"Uh …!" Junior Leopard suddenly shivered and shook his head fiercely. He wanted to reach out his hand to help Zhu Ba up, but just as he reached out his hand, he felt a chill.
"Uh, actually, it's not a big deal. You're the most talented in martial arts in the army, and you're also the most promising in martial arts. Of course, I have to think highly of you. The higher your martial arts, the stronger my strength. Besides, I don't need these medicinal herbs. If I don't give them to you, who else should I give them to? So, don't say those useless words. Practice hard and improve your strength is the right way!"
"Yes, I will practice with all my heart. I won't let you down!" Zhu Ba said loudly. His voice was also trembling because of excitement.
"Well, don't be so loud. If your voice is a little louder, all the people in the Water Army Camp will hear you!"
"Uh …!" The expression on Zhu Ba's face froze. He lowered his head, took the package from Junior Leopard's hand, bowed, and then left quietly.
"This guy is a promising material. But I don't know if he will still be alive after I take away his strength!" Junior Leopard took a few deep breaths to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling in his body. He looked at the direction of the door and sneered.
The Bone-Forging Pills and Tendon-Changing Pills he had refined were enough for him to enter the Tendon-Changing Realm, or even more. Therefore, those medicinal herbs were not of much use to him. Although he could make a lot of money by selling them, the current Junior Leopard didn't care about money at all.
He now controlled the lifeline of Jiang City's water transport and colluded with the water bandits on the Luo River. Together with the goods yard on the River Heart Island, he would definitely make a lot of money. He didn't lack money now. What he lacked was strength.
A Level Four expert!
In most places in this world, he could do whatever he wanted. But for Junior Leopard, it was far from enough. Because of the troublesome bloodline in his body, he was always in danger and extremely vigilant.
Logically speaking, with his current age and cultivation of Level Four, the most important thing he should do was to go out and make a living, gain a greater reputation, and hone his skills in Jianghu. Only in this way could his strength grow. But now he was holed up in Jiang City, putting on an appearance of wholeheartedly managing his own influence. This surprised a lot of people, and at the same time, they felt it was a pity. But whether it was surprise or pity, it couldn't affect Junior Leopard's decision.
He also wanted to go out and run. But since he refined the second External Elixir, he clearly felt that the power of the second External Elixir had been completely absorbed by his eyes. This made his eyes a little unstable. When he was excited or overexerted, the Fiery Eyes would automatically open uncontrollably. Under such circumstances, if he went to Jianghu to fight, Junior Leopard believed that it wouldn't take long before everyone in the world knew that he had the Fiery Eyes. Then he would have to be prepared to be hunted by everyone in the world!
