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

51. A Fallen Genius

in the afternoon.

Cui Jiang from Qianjin Pavilion rushed over with a physician to visit the seriously injured Xu Yuan.

After the doctor made a diagnosis, Cui Jiang immediately said that he would cover all of Xu Yuan's treatment costs, and that Xu Yuan's monthly salary would remain unchanged during his recovery period!

Cui Jiang's actions earned him high praise from many inner court disciples present.

Even Xu Yuan showed a hint of gratitude.

The cost of recuperation over the past six months is no small sum; if he were to bear it, he simply couldn't afford it!

Chu Xuan saw all of this and became even more vigilant.

Sure enough, I can't get carried away!

The most terrifying thing in this world has never been any strange beast!

As soon as Chu Xuan returned home in the evening, his eyes narrowed immediately.

Mo Fei lay back on his recliner, sipping his tea with a contented expression.

Zhang Tieniu, standing to the side, was bowing and scraping, carrying several gifts in his hands.

Chu Xuan's face was somewhat gloomy.

For more than a month, Mo Fei had not shown up, and he thought the other party had given up!

"Brother Chu is back?"

Upon seeing Chu Xuan, Mo Fei stood up with a smile and said, "Brother Chu, ever since I saw your sister a month ago, I, the young master of this gang, have been unable to eat or drink, and have fallen ill with longing. Please…"

"Okay, I agree!"

Chu Xuan interrupted him directly.

"What?"

Mo Fei was stunned and didn't react.

Is it really that easy?

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Didn't Young Master Mo want me to follow you? I agree now!"

"Oh?" This time it was Mo Fei's turn to be suspicious. "Brother Chu, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Chu Xuan's face showed a hint of helplessness at the right moment: "Young Master Mo should know that I only have a Ding-grade aptitude. I've spent a lot of money recently, but unfortunately, my improvement is still too slow. Now, I'm already in debt."

As for hunting exotic beasts in Yunling Mountain, I dare not. I'm sure Young Master Mo has heard about what happened to my martial arts brothers.

So, I can only try to get some money from Young Master Mo!

Mo Fei suddenly realized.

No wonder Chu Xuan changed his mind!

The news that the disciples of the Lu Family Martial Arts School went hunting in the Yunling Mountains and returned in disarray has now spread throughout the entire Qingcheng Mountain area.

He knew that too!

Chu Xuan looked at Mo Fei and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Mo said before that he wouldn't treat me unfairly. He won't go back on his word now, will he?"

"Ha ha……"

Mo Fei laughed loudly, "Brother Chu, rest assured, am I, Mo Fei, the kind of person who goes back on his word? How about this, I'll give you thirty taels of silver a month?"

"Then I thank you very much, Young Master!"

Chu Xuan cupped his hands in thanks, "I'll go to the gang tomorrow to pay my respects to the young gang leader!"

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now. I'll personally host a banquet for Brother Chu tomorrow!"

Mo Fei cupped his hands in greeting and left with Zhang Tieniu.

Chu Xuan watched the two leave, his eyes gradually turning cold!

I'm trying to reason with you, but you won't listen, will you?

If I can't reform you, then I'll have to cremate you!

"Brother~"

Chu He ran to the front yard and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mo Fei and the other person leave. "Those two rascals are finally gone!"

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell my senior brother tomorrow that they won't be coming again."

night.

After dinner, Chu Xuan began practicing standing meditation in the courtyard.

[Energy Value: 500/500]

[Small Completion of Two-Element Stance (2996/3000)]

"The breakthrough will happen tonight!"

Chu Xuan closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in the standing meditation.

Before we knew it, the sky was filled with stars.

Chu Xuan felt his blood and qi surging and roaring within him, like boiling magma, constantly scorching his body.

Heat rose continuously from his skin.

The fair skin also began to turn reddish-brown.

[Two Elements Stance Minor Completion (3000/30000)+]

Seeing the plus sign displayed on the panel, Chu Xuan confirmed without hesitation.

Boom!

His blood, which had been boiling like magma, erupted like a volcano, washing over every inch of his bones and veins from his feet.

Ming Jin (manifest strength) tempers the flesh and skin, while An Jin (hidden strength) tempers the bones and tendons!

A piercing pain instantly spread throughout my body!

Chu Xuan felt as if someone was draining his marrow from his bones; the indescribable, extreme pain almost made him faint!

Chu Xuan clenched his teeth, letting the sweat soak his clothes, but he didn't utter a sound.

At this point, we absolutely cannot give up!

The longer you persist, the more thoroughly your bones will be tempered, the more resilient your tendons and veins will become, and the more profound your internal strength will be!

Even if he gives up halfway, he will still succeed in passing the test, but he will be at the bottom of the Dark Force martial artist level!

"call……"

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xuan's clothes were completely soaked and stuck to his skin.

The excruciating pain finally subsided completely.

Instead, a torrent of power, like a flowing river, surged from his very bones, constantly washing over his body.

At the same time, streams of black, greasy substance, emitting a pungent odor, were expelled from the pores.

Chu Xuan once again experienced the transformative feeling he had when he broke through the barrier of Ming Jin. This time it was even more thorough; Chu Xuan even felt as if he were shedding his old skin and ascending to immortality.

The sensitivity of the five senses has increased more than tenfold compared to before.

Even in the darkness, it was no different from daytime to him.

If he wanted to, he could clearly feel the veins of every leaf on the sycamore tree above his head!

The hidden strength has finally been achieved!

Chu Xuan looked at the panel again.

[Energy Value: 0/1000]

[Two Elements Stance Mastery (1/10000)]

[Bajiquan Minor Mastery (2336/3000)]

[Minor Mastery of Heart-Shattering Palm (1246/3000)]

[The Heavenly Ladder: A Small Achievement (1/3000)]

This breakthrough was comprehensive in terms of his improvement, giving him a deeper understanding of martial arts!

Not only did the experience points for Bajiquan and Heart-Shattering Palm increase dramatically, but they also increased significantly.

The Heavenly Ladder was directly brought to the Lesser Mastery level!

After returning to his room and taking a shower, Chu Xuan changed into a set of night clothes and then disappeared into the night!

……

Although the Seven Stars Gang is an inner-city gang, it can barely be considered a second-rate gang.

If Mo Fei hadn't broken through to the Dark Force realm, he might have already fallen to the third rank, or even been driven out of the inner city!

The headquarters of the Seven Star Gang was located on the edge of the inner city, which could be considered the "slum" of the inner city!

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Xuan arrived at the headquarters of the Seven Star Gang.

Stepping onto the ladder, he landed without making a sound, easily bypassing the guards at the entrance.

At this moment, Mo Fei was drinking and chatting with a group of people.

Holding a bowl of wine, Zhang Tieniu, his face flushed, shouted, "Young Master, I toast you! Congratulations on your skillful manipulation of the situation, gaining another great general. Unifying the inner city is just around the corner!"

"Ha ha……"

Mo Fei smiled smugly, "Unifying the inner city is impossible unless I, the young master, break through to the Transformation Realm someday! But unifying the outer city is indeed just around the corner! Has Zhao Dahu agreed to submit?"

Zhang Tieniu quickly replied, "No. Zhao Dahu said he needs to think about it some more!"

"Hmph, what an ungrateful wretch!"

Mo Fei suddenly smashed the wine bowl in his hand, sneering, "So you've refused this young master time and time again? Perfect! Tomorrow Chu Xuan will come to join us. This young master will personally kill Zhao Dahu in front of him, using him as a warning to others!"

"Young Master is wise!"

Zhang Tieniu immediately offered flattery.

"Alright, that's enough for today!"

Mo Fei staggered to his feet and walked towards the door.

Just as he reached the door, Chu Xuan suddenly struck out with a palm, as powerful as thunder, aiming straight for Mo Fei's chest.

"not good!"

Mo Fei gasped inwardly and reacted quickly, raising his hand to block.

Bang!

The two palms collided, producing a loud crash, followed by a cracking sound of bones breaking.

Mo Fei's arm shattered, revealing the white, jagged bone!

His body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing into the table inside with a bang.

"So weak?"

Chu Xuan looked at his palm, somewhat incredulous.

A single Heart-Shattering Palm strike achieved such an effect!

This Mo Fei, is he really using hidden strength?

That's way too weak!
