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

After leaving the backyard, Chu Xuan found Wei Hong, who was in the inner courtyard instructing a junior brother in cultivation, and briefly explained the situation.

"Okay, I got it!"

Wei Hong patted his chest and assured him, "Junior Brother Chu, don't worry, with the martial arts school here, no one will try to take advantage of you again!"

After the junior brother who had received the instruction left, Wei Hong pulled Chu Xuan aside and reminded him, "Junior brother, the martial arts competition is next year."

You should focus your energy on the skills taught at the martial arts school. Learning too many different things will only slow you down.

If we miss this opportunity, we'll have to wait another three years!

Chu Xuan looked at Wei Hong with a blank expression: "Senior brother, I've only ever practiced the martial arts at the martial arts school. What do you mean by 'too varied'?"

"Haha, I don't even know what I'm saying."

Wei Hong laughed and said, "I'm probably just giving you a heads-up because I've seen too many junior brothers go astray."

At this moment, he also had some doubts.

Could it be that I guessed wrong, and it wasn't Chu Xuan who made the move last night?

What a coincidence!

But if it's Chu Xuan, it doesn't quite make sense either!

Where did he get that palm technique?

How does one cultivate it?

Before joining the martial arts school, Chu Xuan was just an ordinary person who had never learned martial arts; this fact could not be hidden from him.

After entering the martial arts school, he practiced there almost every day, seemingly having no time to practice palm techniques!

The secret manual might be obtained by chance.

However, it is almost impossible to master it by trying to figure it out on your own without guidance!

Not to mention Chu Xuan, even Xu Yuan couldn't do it!

If you try to practice blindly with a manual, the end result will either be that you don't get the hang of it or you ruin your life.

Otherwise, all the martial arts schools, big and small, in the inner city would have closed down long ago!

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

Just as Wei Hong was also somewhat confused, a commotion and exclamations suddenly came from the outer courtyard.

“Eh…”

Wei Hong's thoughts were also interrupted. He exclaimed in surprise, "Another junior brother has successfully passed the test. Come on, Junior Brother Chu, let's go take a look."

Chu Xuan nodded.

As soon as the two arrived at the outer courtyard, they saw a group of people surrounding Ren Yan, congratulating him and looking on with envy.

"It's Ren Yan?"

Chu Xuan was somewhat surprised.

In the past six months, Ren Yan is no longer the chubby little boy he was when he first arrived.

Several layers of oil were scraped off his body, revealing a well-built physique.

He also grew a head taller, exceeding 1.8 meters.

"So it's Junior Brother Ren Yan, congratulations! Excellent, excellent, today is truly a good day, our Lu Clan Martial Arts School has gained another inner courtyard disciple..."

Wei Hong laughed heartily and stepped forward to congratulate him.

Ren Yan immediately expressed his gratitude with utmost respect, then looked at Chu Xuan excitedly and said, "Brother Xuan, I did it!"

"Congratulations!"

Chu Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, happy for him.

It took Ren Yan about nine months to successfully pass the gate of the inner courtyard.

Although his aptitude is not as good as Xu Yuan's, it is far superior to his.

Of course, this is also related to Ren Mingcheng's tireless dedication.

After witnessing the changes in Chu Xuan after he became a martial artist, Ren Mingcheng became even more determined to make Ren Yan a martial artist. In addition, the braised meat business also brought Ren Mingcheng a lot of money, which he almost entirely invested in Ren Yan.

The effects are immediate!

"Junior Brother Ren, let's go together to the inner courtyard to pay our respects to Master," Wei Hong invited with a smile.

After entering the inner courtyard, Wei Hong took Ren Yan to pay his respects to Lu Tong, following a similar procedure to when he first entered the inner courtyard.

Chu Xuan did not go with them.

"Third Senior Brother is back!"

Just as Chu Xuan was practicing his stance training, another commotion broke out in the inner courtyard.

Immediately afterward, Liang Qiusong, the third senior brother whom they hadn't seen for several months, strode into the inner courtyard. He still carried a prey on his shoulder, causing countless fellow disciples in the inner courtyard to scream.

The reason is simple: this time, the prey was a giant python!

The snake's body, several meters long, was casually tied into a ball by Liang Qiusong and carried on his shoulder. The snake's head was even larger than Liang Qiusong's head, and it was right next to his head.

At first glance, it seems as if Liang Qiusong has grown an extra snake head.

It has a strong visual impact.

Even more bizarrely, this snake had a single horn on its head!

"It's a strange beast, the One-Horned Python! Third Senior Brother has hunted down a strange beast!"

"A fully grown unicorn python! This is a beast even more ferocious than a martial artist with internal energy!"

"This one-horned python must be worth at least a thousand taels of silver, right?"

"Heh, what are you dreaming about?! Do you think Third Senior Brother would even bother with anyone offering less than three thousand taels?"

All the fellow disciples stopped what they were doing.

Dongfang Lin also sidled up to Chu Xuan, his face filled with envy and hope, saying, "Tsk tsk, a second-tier unicorn python! If I ate it, I could definitely break through to the Inner Strength realm!"

Unfortunately, even if he were willing to buy it, Liang Qiusong wouldn't sell it!

Rare beasts are rare to begin with. Liang Qiusong went to Yunling Mountain to hunt them, not to make money, but to accumulate qi and blood to prepare for breaking through to the Transformation Realm!

Chu Xuan nodded without saying anything.

He is no longer the naive young man he once was, and he doesn't need Liang Qiusong to explain things to him.

Like martial artists, mythical beasts are also ranked.

First-tier beasts are comparable to Ming Jin martial artists, while second-tier beasts are equivalent to An Jin martial artists!

At the same level, due to their innate advantages, exotic beasts are generally stronger than martial artists!

The fact that Liang Qiusong could hunt down exotic beasts of the same level is enough to demonstrate his formidable strength.

This title of being the number one fighter in the inner court is truly well-deserved!

At this moment, Wei Hong also came out from the backyard with Ren Yan. Seeing that Liang Qiusong had brought the unicorn python, he smiled and said, "Junior brother, it seems you've had a good harvest this time!"

"It's alright!"

Liang Qiusong threw the python on the ground and said with some regret, "These pythons were originally a pair, but unfortunately we couldn't take care of them at the time, and the other one, which was about to lay eggs, escaped!"

"I came back this time to invite a few of my fellow disciples to come with me to sweep the mountain and find the other one-horned python."

After saying that, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, all the fellow disciples showed interest, but a second-tier unicorn python was even more ferocious than a martial artist with internal energy.

They are not Liang Qiusong!

Moreover, in addition to exotic beasts, Yunling Mountain is also home to various poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, making it full of unknown dangers.

Liang Qiusong clearly understood everyone's concerns and said calmly, "What? Are you scared? If I remember correctly, there are less than ten months until next year's martial arts examination, right?"

If you want to level up quickly, besides spending a lot of money to buy pills, the only other option is to eat the meat of exotic beasts!

Moreover, the martial arts examination involves real combat!

All you do all day is train at the martial arts gym, you've never even experienced real combat. What will you use to fight others then?!

There are more than a dozen martial arts schools of all sizes in Qingshan City.

Every year, martial arts schools organize groups to go to Yunling Mountain for training and to obtain meat from exotic beasts to supplement their diet. Of course, they are always protected by strong individuals. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a training trip, but rather a mission to be eaten!

However, the Lu family martial arts school never organizes such events.

Just as Lu Tong said!

If you want something, go and fight for it yourself!

Of course, Lu Tong wouldn't stop his disciples from hunting exotic beasts.

As for the consequences, you'll have to bear them yourself!

This results in the disciples of Lu's Martial Arts School being far inferior to disciples of other martial arts schools in terms of practical combat experience.

However, Liang Qiusong is an anomaly!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wei Hong.

Wei Hong crossed his arms and said calmly, "Don't look at me! There are too many things to do at the martial arts school, I can't leave! If you want to go, feel free."

Going to Yunling Mountain is indeed a good experience, and there's a chance to hunt exotic beasts! But if you encounter danger, don't expect anyone to save you!

Everyone was immediately disappointed.

They were hoping to get Wei Hong to protect them, which would undoubtedly guarantee their safety!
