With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 52 Ape Demon
The burly man wasn't much older than the two, but he looked older than his age, and with a stern, old-fashioned face, he lectured them:

"All of this is thanks to my hard work. You two need to practice more, do you hear me?"

An elderly man with white eyebrows stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.

After seeing the Hu brothers defeated, the old man lightly tapped the floor and landed next to the big man on the arena.

Upon seeing the old man, he abandoned his previous arrogant demeanor and bowed his head respectfully, saying:
"Master, you've arrived."

The white-browed old man may look frail, but his martial arts aura is undeniable.

It was Yuan Huan, the master of the Ape God Martial Arts Hall.

"Wang Xudong, come to my office. The competition venue has been decided. It will be at the Citizens' Sports Center Stadium. The group assignments have also been released."

The big man exclaimed in delight:
"Really, Master? I've been waiting for ages!"

Wang Xudong is one of the personal disciples of the academy's owner, Yuan Huan, and also the second senior brother of the Ape God Martial Arts Academy. He is currently at the age limit for the underage group.

Inside the curator's office.

Yuan Huan sat cross-legged on the sofa and said calmly:

"If you want to take first place, you're in a pretty dangerous situation this time. Don't think you're safe just because you've mastered internal energy. Your opponents this time are not to be underestimated."

Wang Xudong looked at the list and the information on the opponents' strength, his expression turning solemn.

"Li Xiaoyue, Chen Xuewu, Li Bing."

According to the intelligence, all three of them, like himself, had mastered the hidden force.

He already knew about Chen Xuewu's information; the other party, like him, was a second-year student from Wuyi High School.

However, the difference is that the opponent is recognized as the best fighter in the grade.

Although their qi and blood were comparable, his short-sleeved Bajiquan kung fu was extremely fierce.

He had suffered many defeats, and he never expected that Chen Xuewu would also participate in this martial arts school ranking competition.

I was initially confident that I had just mastered the internal energy technique and was ready for the martial arts ranking competition, but I didn't expect my opponent to be just as strong.

He told Yuan Huan about his concerns.

Instead of comforting him, Yuan Huan, abandoning his usual calm demeanor, glared and roared:
"You're already scared? This is how you repay me after all the careful training and guidance I've given you?"

"You must get first place and bring glory to our Monkey God Martial Arts Hall, understand?"

As Yuan Huan spoke, his eyes unconsciously looked down, while he rummaged for something in the pocket of his long gown.

He had no children; the only people who were close to him were his two direct disciples.

The eldest disciple was studying at Wuhan University and had not returned, leaving only the second disciple, Wang Xudong, by his side.

This was the first time Wang Xudong had ever seen his master so angry, and he instinctively looked up with an incredulous expression.

Then he lowered his head and said:

"I will do my best, Master, but I really don't have a sure chance of winning."

Leaving aside the other two, Chen Xuewu alone is enough to give him a hard time.

Hearing his apprentice say he would do his best, Yuan Huan's feigned expression softened considerably.

"As your teacher, I don't mean to force you. A few days ago, I snapped up a martial arts elixir, the Pure Jade Gourd, from the Martial Arts Association's official website."

"I have extracted and digested most of the medicinal properties within it, leaving only a small portion of the true essence. You should take it and absorb it as soon as possible."

After saying that, Yuan Huan took out a miniature green gourd from his palm. The gourd's exterior was lush and vibrant, and it was quite pleasing to the eye.

Wang Xudong looked incredulous. The pure jade gourd was priceless; it was occasionally listed for sale on the official website, with prices reaching an astonishing nine figures!
"Don't overthink it. Your master is about to break through and needs a great pill as a catalyst. So the remaining medicinal power will naturally be reserved for my precious disciple."

Upon hearing that his master was about to break through, Wang Xudong exclaimed with delight:
"Master, are you about to advance to the Martial Arts Master realm?"

The thought of becoming a disciple of a martial arts master filled Wang Xudong with joy, causing him to completely overlook some minor details. Yuan Huan stroked his beard and smiled faintly:

"Well, wait a few days until you've digested the effects of the Great Elixir. Don't make a fuss about this. Just wait for me to succeed."

He definitely wouldn't make a fuss. What if his senior brother found out and demanded it from him?
"Take this and consume it as soon as possible. You have just broken through the fourth barrier, and your Qi and blood are only around 9 points."

"Take this and digest it properly. Even if it's just the residual power of the Great Elixir, it might increase your Qi and Blood by five or six points. At that time, no one will be able to withstand a single blow from you!"

Wang Xudong nodded excitedly, not knowing what to say, his hands trembling as he took the small gourd.

Yuan Huan stared at this scene, hesitated for a moment, and then said resolutely:
"Forget it, let's take it now. The Great Elixir is ferocious, it's safer with your master watching over it."

Wang Xudong, unsuspecting, tilted his head back and swallowed the so-called remnants of the "Great Elixir." After sensing it for a moment, he stood still and began practicing Tongbei Fist to digest the medicinal effects.

In a short while, Wang Xudong felt a small warm current rushing through his body.

"Wow, the medicine is so potent!"

"Sit cross-legged, hold your breath and concentrate, and I will help you circulate your internal energy!"

Wang Xudong obediently did as he was told. Yuan Huan placed his left palm behind his back and took out another small black gourd from his pocket with his right hand. It was none other than the Seed of Fear!
Wang Xudong felt his body gradually calm down, a faint sense of comfort washing over him, and he felt a little sleepy.

Yuan Huan gently reached out and pinched his apprentice's neck.

In an instant, Wang Xudong fell into a deep sleep.

"Silly child, where would I get the money to buy a pure jade gourd?"

With the mother and child connected, the seed within Wang Xu's body was gradually suppressed, and after a moment it returned to calm.

"Alright, now it's up to you and it to perform."

"Then, let's take a nap first."

Yuan Huan thoughtfully laid his good apprentice down to lie flat, then turned off the light and left.

Under the pale yellow light of the martial arts hall corridor, Yuan Huan's shadow looked somewhat strange.

It grew increasingly bizarre, constantly twisting and changing.

Sometimes it appears as a normal human figure, and sometimes it twists and transforms into a snarling, vengeful ape with a bizarrely shaped, enormous mouth from which black saliva drips.

He turned around and noticed this, and couldn't help but frown.

"It's about to become uncontrollable."

Subsequently, Yuan Huan immediately channeled his true energy into his body, repeating this several times before finally suppressing the strange martial arts aura.

The shadow of the ape demon roared to the sky, letting out a silent howl of resentment, its form gradually shrinking until it disappeared.

Yuan Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason he cooperated with the demonic path was because his martial arts prowess had run into trouble.

The power of martial arts is the manifestation of the will and strength of a martial artist.

The demonic ape's appearance is like looking at a leopard through a tube, revealing its inferior martial will.

"I don't believe in fate; human determination can overcome destiny."

"In that case, let's go all the way and take it as soon as the experiment is completed."

Martial arts master, martial arts grandmaster.

Even His Holiness!
The promise of an infinitely long lifespan was drawing him in, and once he fed the seed of fear to his disciple, there was no turning back.

I, Qin Shi Huang, vote.
