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

16. Breakthrough

"father!"

Zeng Ke angrily interrupted Chu Laoguo, "Do you want to hear what you're saying?!"

"You poured all of the family's savings into Chu Ming's martial arts training! You even secretly spent all the money Ping An left for Xuan'er and He'er!"

When Xuan'er came to learn martial arts, you didn't pay a single penny, and now you actually want to give the blood-nourishing soup that the martial arts school gave to Xuan'er to Chu Ming?!

"Why?! Why are you bullying us like this? Isn't Xuan'er your grandson too?!"

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Chu Xuan was so angry he laughed.

So it turns out they were after my blood-nourishing soup.

Old Master Chu, unusually shameful, blushed with embarrassment and said angrily, "I've already inquired. Xuan'er is only of the lower-grade Bing physique and has no hope of breaking through to become a martial artist! Ming'er, on the other hand, has the upper-grade Yi physique! Rather than letting Xuan'er waste that blood-nourishing soup, it's better to give it to Ming'er!"

"Ming'er is the hope of the whole family! I'm doing this for the sake of the family!"

Chu Xuan sneered, "Giving it to me is a waste? Grandpa, Chu Ming has been practicing martial arts for a year and a half now, how come he hasn't broken through to become a martial artist yet? As far as I know, martial arts schools only accept disciples for a year. If he can't break through, it's basically impossible!"

"What do you know?!" Old Master Chu sneered. "Ming'er has the potential of Yizhong. The martial arts school master said that he should not rush and must lay a solid foundation. He must not waste this good potential!"

Ming'er's goal isn't just to reach the Ming Jin level! He wants to become a martial arts master!

Chu Xuan sneered inwardly.

These words were probably said to him by Chu Ming.

Chu Xuan, too lazy to continue his nonsense, said indifferently, "I see! Since the martial arts master thinks so highly of him, Chu Ming shouldn't be short of a few bowls of my blood-nourishing soup, right? Grandpa, please leave!"

When Old Master Chu saw that Chu Xuan was actually chasing him away, he suddenly stood up and roared, "You know your own limitations! Let me tell you, this is your family's last chance! Once Ming'er becomes a martial arts graduate, will you have the face to benefit from Ming'er's success?!"

Chu Xuan calmly replied, "My family is too small to presume to be worthy of your status as a future martial arts examinee!"

"You're all hopeless!" Old Chu snorted angrily. "Your family can stay in this wretched place for the rest of your lives! I don't care about you anymore!"

After saying that, he stormed off in a huff.

Chu Xuan simply smiled faintly and drank the last of the chicken soup in the bowl in one gulp!

In the blink of an eye, another ten days or so have passed.

There are only three days left until the final deadline.

If Chu Xuan fails to break through to the Ming Jin level within these three days, the Bai family will abandon their support. Then he'll have no choice but to pack his bags and leave!

Just as dawn was breaking, Chu Xuan arrived at the martial arts school.

"Looks like we don't need to wait until the last day. We might break through today!"

Chu Xuan landed steadily on the plum blossom stakes and began practicing the Two Elements Stance.

A murmur of whispers could be heard from the surrounding area.

"He's still training? His natural talent is what it is, what's the point of working harder?"

"Some people just can't see reality..."

"If it were me, I wouldn't have come at all. It's so embarrassing to be kicked out on the last day..."

These disciples weren't just idle; they all knew about Chu Xuan's situation and that he would be kicked out in three days, so they were eager to see what would happen.

At this point, most of the other disciples would choose to leave quietly.

Chu Xuan, however, insisted on "shamelessly" taking advantage of the last three days of blood-nourishing soup.

The reason I think this way is because Zhang Tieniu is exactly like that! This guy has already let himself go, and his only purpose in staying at the martial arts school is to freeload until the school kicks him out.

In their view, Chu Xuan was naturally the same. He was just a little too thin-skinned and was just putting on an act.

Chu Xuan didn't hear these conversations at all, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

These people don't understand his path!

At this moment, Chu Xuan's mind was completely immersed in the Yin-Yang stance, and he strived to make every movement perfect.

It wasn't until midday, when the sun was high in the sky, that Chu Xuan finally stopped to eat. His clothes were soaked with sweat and clung stickily to his skin, but he ignored it and went straight to the kitchen.

"Brother Xuan, don't listen to their gossip..." Ren Yan sat next to Chu Xuan and whispered to comfort him, "They're all just chatterboxes, they should take a good look at themselves in the mirror..."

Chu Xuan asked calmly, "Oh? What are they talking about me about?"

"Huh? You didn't know?" Ren Yan looked at Chu Xuan in astonishment, clearly not believing it.

Chu Xuan didn't explain and continued to eat the steamed bun with gusto.

"Brother Xuan, this is beef braised by my mother. Try it." Ren Yan didn't continue the topic but took out a piece of beef about the size of tofu.

Thanks!

Chu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed it, taking big bites.

"I……"

Ren Yan opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

He took a portion for two people, and he hasn't eaten yet!

Chu Xuan quickly finished a piece of beef and then continued practicing his stance.

Two hours later, Chu Xuan suddenly sensed something and subconsciously opened the panel.

[Energy Value: 99/100]

[Bajiquan Introduction (623/1000)]

"It's truly perfect!"

A smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face.

Unfortunately, the essence value is still stuck at 99 and hasn't moved.

"Breakthrough is today!"

Chu Xuan took out the blood-nourishing pills his aunt had given him and swallowed them in one gulp.

The reason I waited until now to take it is to wait until the proficiency level is perfected! Because the higher the proficiency level, the better the body absorbs it, maximizing the value of the blood-replenishing pill.

"Come on! Practice with me!"

Chu Xuan jumped off the plum blossom stakes and called Ren Yan over.

"Huh? Me?!" Ren Yan pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered. "Brother Xuan, I'm only practicing stance training right now!"

"It's okay! Just hit whatever you want!" Chu Xuan said.

"I will! Brother Xuan, you better watch out!" Ren Yan chuckled and rushed forward, swinging his fists wildly at Chu Xuan, hitting him indiscriminately.

Chu Xuan used Bajiquan techniques to block and attack.

Then, Chu Xuan discovered that this method was completely useless.

Ren Yan is different from Zhao Yuzhu. Zhao Yuzhu has practiced Bajiquan and has strong physical abilities. When the two spar, they hardly need to hold back.

But when sparring with Ren Yan, he felt very restrained, afraid that he might accidentally hurt the chubby boy.

Realizing this, Chu Xuan decisively abandoned Ren Yan and began practicing Bajiquan on his own. He started with the most basic moves, then the "Eight Vajra Forms," ​​and then the eight major moves…

"The King of Hell's Three-Point Technique"

"A fierce tiger climbs the mountain with all its might."

"Standing Cannon"

……

Gradually, Chu Xuan forgot about the control panel; his world consisted only of every move and stance of Bajiquan, repeated over and over again.

It was an hour later when he finished his practice.

Chu Xuan looked at his panel.

[Energy Value: 100/100]

[Introduction to Two-Element Stance (1000/1000)+]

[Bajiquan Introduction (609/1000)]

"It's finally complete!"

Chu Xuan clicked the plus sign after the Two Elements Stake without hesitation.

next moment.

boom!

A surge of energy, like boiling magma, suddenly flowed through his body, constantly cleansing and washing over every meridian, blood vessel, and muscle!

Chu Xuan's skin turned a bright red, like it had been burned!

This process lasted for three or four minutes. After his blood and qi calmed down, the redness on his skin gradually faded! Chu Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of comfort throughout his body, as if he had been reborn.

Everything before my eyes became crystal clear; I could see the veins on the leaves dozens of meters away with perfect clarity. Even my skin became more sensitive; I could clearly feel the breath exhaled through my pores.

"Is this what Ming Jin (明劲) is?"

Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
