As they walked, Chen Heng tried to get more information from Liu Yi.
According to Liu Yi, this so-called Solid Rock School was actually under the Liu family.
Even though most members were part of the family and only a minority were outsiders, all of those who could enter the Solid Rock School were geniuses and elites.
The current Head of the Solid Rock School was named Liu Ruhai, and he was Liu Yi's grandfather.
Of course, Liu Yi did not directly state this, but Chen Heng had figured it out.
On the way, Chen Heng was still thinking about the benefits and costs of him joining the Solid Rock School.
Joining the Solid Rock School provided him with enough resources and connections, so he would not have to worry about cultivation techniques in the future.
Moreover, the Solid Rock School's Head was Liu Yi's grandfather. From this relationship, perhaps he could receive greater benefits and attention.
Of course, there were also disadvantages.
The most obvious one would be his status.
Given that the Solid Rock School was filled with the Liu family's people, no matter what happened, it would be impossible for him to rise to the top.
At the very least, as an outsider, Chen Heng could not think about the position of Head.
However, this did not matter much.
This was not a simulation world, and Chen Heng was not planning on making too big of a ruckus.
He did not care much for the position of Head.
For him to just get a relatively-high position and get stronger, that would be enough for him.
As such, this disadvantage did not matter much.
As for other things, he would only know after he joined and interacted with others.
After they walked in, many people looked quite shocked when they saw Liu Yi. They hurriedly bowed, and it seemed that these actions were all instinctive responses.
Looking at this scene, Chen Heng thought to himself and gained more understanding of Liu Yi's position in the Solid Rock School.
It seemed that Liu Yi's position must be quite high.
However, this made sense.
After all, Liu Yi had left this place but was able to easily give an outsider like him the Solid Rock Body Forging Technique. Without sufficient standing, who would dare to do something like this?
If an ordinary disciple did this, they would most likely be beaten to death.
Not only had Liu Yi done this, but she had also almost asked some teachers to especially teach him.
This showed her standing even more.
Chen Heng continued to think to himself as he followed behind Liu Yi.
Soon, they came to the inner area of the martial arts establishment.
Inside here, there were more disciples training, all of them also covered in sweat.
Compared to the disciples outside, these disciples seemed much more mature and all of them were young men. Their strength was also generally stronger, and they seemed to be around Body Forging 60% to 70%.
This group of disciples was already quite good, and outside, all of them would be top students.
"There are around 200 of them, and adding on the ones from before, there are around 500 or so…" Chen Heng thought to himself looking at these people.
From the numbers of disciples, he could roughly gauge the Solid Rock School's scale.
Based on what he saw, just within this martial arts establishment, there were around 600 or 700 people.
Adding on the ones who had left or were training elsewhere, there would be even more.
This was quite a strong force.
Chen Heng inwardly nodded, and on the surface, he looked quite curious and amazed as he gazed about.
All around them, people would often pass by. Seeing a new face, they all felt quite curious and gave him a few extra glances.
They continued onwards and finally reached a large hall in the depths.
The hall was very sparse and had all kinds of equipment, just like the training grounds outside.
It was just that there were far fewer people here.
Chen Heng looked around and only saw ten or so people. The youngest was a young man around Chen Heng's age.
Although there were far fewer people, the quality was far higher.
Even the weakest was nearly at Body Forging Completion.
So this is the core of the School.
Looking at the ten or so people training, Chen Heng's eyes lit up and felt quite interested.
After coming to another city, what he saw was also different.
Martial arts Schools were places where martial arts geniuses gathered together, after all.
There were not many people at Body Forging Completion in Lin City, but there were many here.
This made Chen Heng feel very interested.
Following this, they came to a large door and knocked.
"Come in," A low and hoarse voice sounded out; it sounded like an elderly person speaking.
Liu Yi walked into the room with Chen Heng.
Following this, they saw an elderly man sitting in the room.
The elderly man wore a loose black martial artist's uniform and looked around 50 or 60 years old. His hair was somewhat gray, making him seem quite aged, but his gaze was as sharp as a knife. It was as if he could see through anyone's heart.
He looked completely ordinary, but the aura he gave off could cause anyone to feel shocked. Looking at the elderly man, Chen Heng's body instinctively tightened and felt a strong sense of danger. His body became taut as he prepared to defend against any danger.
In the next moment, a sharp light flashed out.
Chen Heng dodged to the side and brought Liu Yi with him.
A long saber appeared where he had been, pointing towards him.
"Your reactions aren't bad," the low voice once again sounded out.
Liu Ruhai nodded as he looked at Chen Heng, and a faint smile appeared on his serious face.
"Chen Heng was it?" he said before continuing, "I already know about your situation. From now on, you can cultivate here."
Chen Heng instinctively looked at Liu Yi. Seeing her keep her head down and remain silent, he nodded.
Liu Ruhai turned and looked at Liu Yi, "You're finally willing to come back? You're already this big and yet you ran away from home like that. How naïve…"
Looking at Liu Yi, his expression became slightly cold, "You left without saying anything or leaving any information; do you know how worried your big brother was?"
"I…" Liu Yi bit her lips, not knowing what to say.
Looking at her like this, Liu Ruhai shook his head before saying, "Alright. Since you've come back, let's just forget what happened. Don't do it in the future."
