A Martial Saint Among Men: From Joining a Martial Arts School

Inside a private room on the second floor of a teahouse next door.

"Xin'er, is this Chu Xuan? He's quite handsome, much better looking than the others you're keeping. Why did you refuse him this time?"

Several wealthy young ladies gathered together, watching Chu Xuan on the arena through the window.

"That's right! It's him!" Bai Kexin pouted. "He's just a pretty face, all show and no substance! I, Bai Kexin, will never marry such a good-for-nothing!"

"If you don't like it, you can have it for me! I don't care if it's waxed or not, as long as it looks good..."

"That's not right, Xin'er! Even if Chu Xuan is a waste, he can still get into the inner courtyard of the Lu family martial arts school. He's much better than those guys you're supporting, right? Besides, he practices martial arts all day long. How could he be a useless idiot?"

"You didn't get it backwards, did you? I get the feeling that they didn't like you, so you're getting angry because they're embarrassed?" a girl said with a half-smile.

"How could that be?!" Bai Kexin looked at her fake best friend and sneered, "What kind of man can't I, Bai Kexin, get? Why would I look at a piece of trash like him with inferior genes?"

I bet you're just a shameless slut who's got your eye on him, aren't you? Too bad, you've got no chance!

He's going to be beaten to death in the ring today!

On the arena.

After signing the waiver, Meng Qing looked Chu Xuan up and down mockingly: "Kid, I didn't expect you to actually dare to come! It's not too late to regret it now!"

Chu Xuan ignored him and directly signed his name on the life-or-death contract!

Meng Qing's pupils contracted instantly, and her expression turned cold and stern: "Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"

Before he finished speaking, he darted out like an arrow, his left arm slashing straight at Chu Xuan's face—it was the Mountain-Splitting Palm of Tongbei Fist.

At the same time, he secretly gathered strength in his right arm, concealing the backhand of the Entangling Silk Hand technique, intending to lock Chu Xuan's arm.

Instead of retreating, Chu Xuan advanced, taking a quick step with his left foot and suddenly lowering his body by half a foot to avoid the incoming palm strike.

At the same time, his right fist slammed out like a heavy hammer, striking Meng Qing's ribs.

This punch, imbued with the power of the waist and abdomen, produced a sharp, piercing sound as it struck the air.

Meng Qing's expression changed, and he hurriedly lowered his elbow to block.

After a muffled thud, his entire right arm went numb, and he staggered back two steps, his hand splitting open and bleeding.

"You've also reached the Great Perfection of Ming Jin?"

Meng Qing's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

The audience erupted in uproar.

Chu Xuan was also at the peak of the Ming Jin realm, and in their first encounter, he caused Meng Qing to suffer a minor loss!

"How is that possible? He only broke through to the Ming Jin level a short time ago, how could he possibly have already reached the Great Perfection of Ming Jin?"

"Isn't he just considered to have inferior aptitude...?"

"Junior Brother Chu... has also reached the Great Perfection of Ming Jin..."

Not only the surrounding audience, but even Dongfang Lin and the others were incredulous.

This speed is probably almost catching up with Xu Yuan's!

Is this something someone with only a Class D aptitude could do?

Even Wei Hong couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

In fact, Ming Jin (a type of martial art) does not have a clear distinction between minor and major achievements.

If one-third or more of one's Qi and blood are replenished, it is considered a minor achievement. If more than half is replenished, it is considered a major achievement.

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time as Meng Qing spoke, Chu Xuan moved again.

It's a life-or-death battle!

Was this all an act? And they were even talking while fighting?

Chu Xuan naturally wouldn't let Meng Qing's mistake slip by. Before Meng Qing could finish speaking, Chu Xuan had already moved closer, twisted his shoulder and hip, and rammed into him with a powerful shoulder strike.

"Bang!"

With a violent impact, Meng Qing felt as if he had been gored in the chest by a mad bull, and his internal organs almost exploded.

A sweet, metallic taste instantly spread to my throat.

Meng Qing rolled backward, her arms wrapping around Chu Xuan's back like snakes, using the "Entangling Silk Twist" technique from Tongbei Quan, trying to use soft force to dissipate Chu Xuan's power and lock him in place.

Chu Xuan, however, was prepared. He suddenly lowered his shoulders and waist, and his bones cracked with a series of sounds.

The powerful force of Bajiquan burst forth from his body, forcefully shaking off Meng Qing's entangling force!

Meng Qing was sent flying three feet backward. After landing, he touched the ground with his toes and took several steps before regaining his balance. He felt a surge of blood and qi.

Chu Xuan then pressed forward again.

Bajiquan is all about being aggressive; it emphasizes "if you advance, I advance; if you retreat, I advance."

At this point, it's only natural to strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

"court death!"

Meng Qing was completely enraged, and his ferocity was also aroused. He pounced forward, slashing and thrusting with both arms in turn. His "Chain Slash" and "Bone-Piercing Fist" were connected like lightning, and the wind from his fists made Chu Xuan's hair fly.

Chu Xuan lowered his elbow to protect his heart, his stance was as stable as Mount Tai, and every block was met with powerful force!

"Click!"

Meng Qing's right fist, which struck Chu Xuan's elbow, was so powerful that the knuckles cracked from the impact, causing Chu Xuan to let out a muffled groan in pain.

Chu Xuan's eyes were cold and fierce like a wolf's. After dodging Meng Qing's outstretched claw, his right hand shot out like lightning and suddenly grabbed Meng Qing's left wrist. After another crisp crack, Meng Qing's left wrist joint was forcefully broken.

"what……"

Meng Qing let out a scream, but suddenly raised his knee and slammed it into Chu Xuan's abdomen, trying to exchange injury for injury.

Chu Xuan was prepared, bending his knee to block, while simultaneously slamming his left arm down on Meng Qing's knee like an iron pestle. Another cracking sound rang out, and Meng Qing's right knee bent, causing him to kneel on one knee.

Meng Qing, as if possessed, used his intact right arm to smash Chu Xuan's calf hard.

Unfortunately, he was fast, but Chu Xuan was even faster!

Chu Xuan rolled to the side, dodging Meng Qing's attack and arriving behind him. He grabbed Meng Qing's neck with his left hand and held the back of his head with his right.

Meng Qing's face immediately turned a deep purplish-red, and he cried out, "I...I surrender..."

"I won't accept it!"

Chu Xuan's voice was barely audible, but his hands moved without the slightest pause.

"stop!"

Yao Shan, sitting in the audience, suddenly shouted out.

Chu Xuan seemed not to hear, and suddenly twisted his arms with force.

"Snap!"

The sound of a cervical spine breaking echoed throughout the venue.

Meng Qing's head spun around, and his body froze instantly.

His eyes were wide open, and his arms hung limply at his sides, no longer able to struggle!

Chu Xuan released his grip, letting Meng Qing's corpse crash onto the arena, splattering blood and dust everywhere.

boom!

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

The audience below the stage were so shocked that they stood up and stared in disbelief at Meng Qing, who was staring with dead fish eyes, looking as if he were dead as could be!

Chu Xuan actually won, and in front of so many people, he killed Meng Qing on the spot!

"Xin'er, is this the 'good-for-nothing' you were talking about?"

Bai Kexin's friends all stared in shock at Chu Xuan, whose gaze was as cold as a knife on the arena below, feeling both fear and excitement.

Bai Kexin was completely stunned!

Isn't Chu Xuan only of the lowest rank?

Didn't he only break through to the Ming Jin level a few months ago?

How could someone possibly kill Meng Qing, whose innate talent is only at the second-tier level and who has already surpassed it several years ago?

At this moment, her face was deathly pale, her mind filled with the cold and resolute look in Chu Xuan's eyes when he killed Meng Qing.

As if she had just remembered something, she instinctively shuddered!

Below the arena.

Chu Ming was equally stunned, as were his fellow disciples who had come with him.

"Junior Brother Chu Ming, he... he really is Chu Xuan?" someone stammered.

That's Meng Qing! He's already mastered the Ming Jin technique!

If any of them were to go on stage and fight the other side, they would all be absolutely crushed!

But now, he was actually killed by Chu Xuan, who had only broken through a few months ago.

Chu Ming looked completely bewildered: "I...I don't know..."

He's not even sure if the person on stage is actually his cousin...

"He...he won? Brother Xuan won?"

Ren Yan stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"We won!"

Dongfang Lin nodded, his voice carrying an indescribable complex emotion.

Of all the people present, he was undoubtedly the one who knew Chu Xuan best.

But the coldness and ruthlessness Chu Xuan displayed today were something he had never seen before.

"good!"

Wei Hong suddenly shouted.

"good……"

The disciples of Lu's Martial Arts School, who had finally realized what was happening, clapped and cheered loudly, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement, feeling as if their blood was boiling!

The White Ape Martial Arts School across the street was completely silent.

Yao Shan abruptly stood up, staring at Chu Xuan on the stage, his voice icy cold: "Did you hear me? I just told you to stop!"

Chu Xuan said calmly, "I heard you!"

"I heard you, why didn't you stop?" Yao Shan stared intently at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan replied calmly, "Sorry, it was a slip of the hand!"

"Pfft!"

Wei Hong, who had just come up and was about to support Chu Xuan, burst out laughing.

This junior brother Chu is quite humorous!

How come I never noticed before?
