In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

"Come on!"

Zhou Zhengtang laughed, "You've really made a name for yourself this time! Breaking through to the Iron Skin level in four months, faster than any of us. While you can't compare to Tang Huang's freakish performance, it's enough to shut some people up!"

Zhou Zhengtang was genuinely happy for Su Hao.

Thinking back to when Jiang Yan and the others first befriended Su Hao, and now Su Hao's performance.

This was a resounding slap in the face.

Previously, they thought Su Hao was a blacksmith by trade, with no background or resources, and that his breakthrough to the Stone Skin level in a month was just a fluke.

Now that Su Hao has broken through again, and at a faster pace than those of them who have resources, it is enough to prove Su Hao's talent and potential.

"..." Su Hao was speechless upon hearing this.

From beginning to end, his cultivation was only for the purpose of becoming stronger and being able to remain untainted in this chaotic world.

It's not about proving how talented you are.

Therefore, he doesn't care about other people's opinions or evaluations.

However, judging from what Zhou Zhengtang said, it seems that he is being talked about by quite a few people behind his back.

"Alright, Master Liu will inform all disciples of the academy of each disciple who breaks through the Iron Skin barrier, as this is a mark of becoming an elite disciple of the academy and also a way to inspire others!"

Zhou Zhengtang put his arm around Su Hao's shoulder, and the two walked towards Liu Shi's direction.

Su Hao felt somewhat helpless about this.

He hadn't intended to show off like this, but unfortunately, the boxing gym had such a requirement.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have come today.

and…

Su Hao looked at Tang Huang, Jiang Yan, Mu Bai, Wang Yan and the others whose gazes were fixed on him, and felt that they were looking at him with some suspicion or scrutiny.

Judging from their eyes, they didn't seem to believe that they had broken through the metal goggles.

Tang Huang, in particular, had a strong sense of hostility in his eyes.

Su Hao ignored the stares and let Zhou Zhengtang pull him to Master Liu.

When Liu Shi saw Su Hao arrive, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Young Su, you're here?"

Ever since Su Hao sent him the message, and he broke through the Iron Mirror in a good amount of time.

Master Liu's impression of Su Hao changed drastically, so his attitude towards him also changed, and he paid more attention to this disciple.

Su Hao was quite surprised by Liu Shi's change in attitude, but he still bowed respectfully and said, "Master Liu."

Master Liu nodded slowly, then stood up and said to Jiang Yan and the others beside him, "Among you fellow disciples, I don't need to introduce Su boy, right? He has now broken through to the Iron Skin Realm and is at the same level as you. So you should restrain your thoughts. We all come from the same sect, and those pointless thoughts are meaningless. Only strength is the only way to prove yourself!"

How could Liu Chongshan not know about the prevailing trends within the boxing academy?

But in his view, these trends were nothing more than children playing house, and had no meaning whatsoever.

He hopes that his disciples will have less of these competitive and discriminatory thoughts. If everyone could be like Su Hao, diligently studying and practicing to improve themselves.

Perhaps their Yueshan Boxing Gym will become even stronger.

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing what Master Liu said.

However, her gaze towards Su Hao became complicated.

Only when they were certain that these words came from Master Liu's mouth, and were announced in front of everyone, did they truly acknowledge that Su Hao's strength had indeed broken through to the Iron Skin Mirror level.

This was beyond everyone's expectations. No one would have thought that Su Hao, the blacksmith's son, with no resources or background, and who was just a lackey of Zhou Zhengtang, had now reached the same level as them.

You have to understand that when Su Hao first joined the boxing academy, these people were already in the Iron Mirror.

Now Su Hao has caught up and reached the same level as them, while they are still standing still.

Jiang Yan, in particular, looked complicated and gloomy, feeling even worse.

Born into the Jiang family of the inner city, she had far more experience and resources than anyone else, which led her to subconsciously look down on everyone in the entire boxing academy.

It can be said that, apart from Master Liu, Tang Huang, Mu Bai, and Zhou Zhengtang, who were also present, were no exception.

If these people weren't of similar martial arts prowess to her own, she wouldn't have bothered with them at all.

In his view, he was only in the next tier of the Jiang family. Once he became more powerful and returned to the Jiang family to take on an important position, he would be in a completely different class from these people.

However, as her cultivation progressed, even Su Hao, whom she had previously looked down upon, had reached the same level as her in the Iron Mirror realm.

On what grounds?

What is Su Hao's background and identity? How is he able to reach the same level as him?

Wouldn't that mean that his talent is just like that of the blacksmith's son in front of him?

But no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, or how much he doubted it, the facts were right in front of him, leaving her no room to defend herself.

Thinking back to the words she had used to persuade Zhou Zhengtang, she felt extremely ironic and ridiculous.

In the end, the clown turned out to be herself.

Mu Bai, Wang Yan, and Mu Qianqian all had different expressions on their faces.

Mu Bai held a closed folding fan in his hand, gently clapping his hands, his face calm, seemingly lost in thought.

Wang Yan's gaze remained fixed on Su Hao, with a hint of doubt and scrutiny still lingering in his eyes.

They seemed not to believe that Su Hao could break through the Iron Skin Realm in such a short time.

After all, the other party has only been with Yueshan Boxing Gym for about four months at most.

This speed is even faster than before!

He never imagined that this little follower who had always been following Zhou Zhengtang around would suddenly become a star, showcasing his abilities and even gaining the favor of Master Liu.

Mu Qianqian didn't think too much about it. She just looked at Su Hao with her beautiful eyes, wanting to see if this junior brother who suddenly appeared, this boy who always followed behind Senior Brother Zhou and never took the initiative to greet or make connections with others, and who always seemed extremely reserved and low-key, really had any extraordinary qualities.

Thinking back on her previous assessment of Su Hao, she admitted that she had indeed misjudged him.

But that's okay.

When faced with doubt and denial, the best way to respond is to demonstrate one's potential and strength.

Su Hao is quite good. Mu Qianqian even admires him. This kind of person who works hard silently is also breaking her preconceived notions. It turns out that relying on oneself, without resources or background, one can really make a name for oneself.

At the same time, I admire Senior Brother Zhou Zhengtang's eye for talent; it's truly remarkable that he made friends with a promising talent like Su Hao right from the start.

Standing behind Liu Shi, Tang Huang looked at the calm-faced Su Hao, clenched his fists, and a cold glint appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"Hmph! Trash is trash! You only just broke through to the Iron Skin level, and it took you so long. What's there to be so smug about!"

Tang Huang thought viciously to himself.
