From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 141 Stepping Through the Air

"The fall of Liangzhou in the north has brought numerous impacts from this massive earthquake."

Qin Fangqiong swirled the wine glass in her hand, her gaze deep: "Many of the major forces that originally occupied Liangzhou are now frantically heading south. As a necessary stop, Black Stone City will inevitably be flooded with all sorts of monsters and demons. In addition, Jian'an Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture in the south will also send forces to settle in. Black Stone City will only become more and more chaotic."

He looked at Qi Linfeng, Lin Wanzhu, and Su Yu, his tone becoming serious: "In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary! The three major families and the Black Stone Army have reached a consensus that the enforcement team will be officially expanded and upgraded to a garrison, in charge of the city's defense and criminal matters!"

"This is not just a name change, but a concentration of power. At that time, the three of you will rise in status within the Security Bureau, and the power you wield will become even greater."

Qin Fangqiong instructed, "When the time comes, gather another batch of your trusted junior brothers from the martial arts school and bring them to the police station!"

"Yes, Master!" the three replied in unison.

After the banquet ended, everyone left with heavy hearts.

When Su Yu returned to the Su residence, the sky was already as dark as ink.

The news of Liangzhou's fall weighed heavily on his mind, and the sense of impending doom left him no room for complacency.

"Now that chaos has finally arrived, only strength can ensure a safe and secure life."

He went to the training ground and continued practicing martial arts.

[White Ape Fist Proficiency +15]

Su Yu stopped when he felt his body could no longer hold on until midnight.

I brought up the panel and glanced at the data:

[Martial Arts]: White Ape Fist (Level 1575) (Minor Success 1/10000)

[Martial Arts]: Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade (Level 1350) (Minor Success 1/7000)

[Martial Arts]: Black Stone Body Tempering Technique (Level 1000) (Proficiency 1/7000)

[Martial Arts]: Seven Fiends Thunder Step (Proficiency 1850/2000)

[Breakthrough Point]: 0 points (Progress 95.2%)

"After today's series of battles, I can only practice the White Ape Fist five or six times now, but I have gained a lot of proficiency in the Demon Subduing Blade and Thunderclap Step during the battles."

"Next, I need to break through the Seven Fiends Thunderclap Step to the minor completion stage. Then my strength will increase again!"

"There are still some points left to break the limit. I'm just a little bit away from accumulating enough to reach the limit."

The next morning, the sun rose.

On the training ground, Su Yu was already practicing martial arts.

"A thunderous collapse!"

His knees bent slightly, and his blood and energy instantly flowed into the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of his legs. His tendons tightened like a fully drawn bow, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.

When they appeared the next moment, they were already seven or eight zhang away.

[Seven Fiends Thunder Step Proficiency +5]

[Seven Fiend Thunderclap Steps Breakthrough to Minor Completion Level]

[Martial Arts]: Seven Fiends Thunderclap Step (Minor Success 1/3000)

"We've broken through!"

The next moment, Su Yu felt that his understanding of the Seven Fiends Thunder Step had reached a new level.

If the proficient level relies on brute force to accelerate and the reaction force of friction with the ground, then the minor achievement level is to have mastered the essence of explosive energy and even be able to step in the air!

"A thunderous collapse!"

Su Yu's eyes narrowed, and he charged out once again.

This time, unlike before, there were no signs of the ground cracking. With just a loud bang, he was already more than ten zhang away, his speed increasing by nearly 50%.

"Seven Fiends Thunderclap!"

"Bang! Bang! ————"

The air exploded seven times in succession!

Su Yu's body transformed into a series of afterimages, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, stepping through the void and actually rushing to the air five or six zhang high!

The next moment, his body spun gracefully in the air, descended to a height of three feet above the ground, took another step in mid-air, and landed lightly.

"This is the mid-stage aerial stepping technique! With this footwork, my agility in battle will increase significantly!"

Su Yu couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

The Lesser Completion stage already allows one to walk in mid-air; one wonders how powerful the Greater Completion and Perfection stages would be.

He calmed his internal energy and began to think again.

"Now that I've mastered the Thunderclap Step, my strength has increased significantly. However, this isn't enough. The next key is accumulating Limit Break Points. I need to accumulate two points as soon as possible and try to break through the limits of the White Ape Six Transformations twice. I wonder what the effects of breaking through the limits twice will be!"

"The first time I was given the Limit Break trait, it was Mindful Ape Clarity, which gave me the powerful effect of doubling my White Ape Fist proficiency. This second one will definitely be just as good."

"My lord, the Jiang family has sent someone to deliver something." At this moment, Li Da came to the training ground to report respectfully.

"Let them in."

A moment later, an elderly man who looked like a steward entered in single file with seven or eight strong servants, one of whom was carrying a wooden bucket.

"I am Jiang Kui, the steward of the Jiang family. I greet Lord Su." The old man's attitude was extremely respectful.

"You're too kind, Butler Jiang."

Jiang Kui straightened up and took out a brocade box from his robes, handing it over: "Lord Su, I am here on the orders of Young Master Jiang Liuchuan to deliver the trade route contract and this month's share, totaling one hundred and twenty taels. In addition, Young Master said he would give you a precious ice perch, which is a good thing he mentioned giving you before."

Ice Bass?

Su Yu smiled, surprised that Jiang Liuchuan was actually quite generous and seemed like a good person.

Even after losing to himself, he didn't forget the nice gift he had promised to give himself.

Su Yu took the brocade box, opened it, checked the contract and silver notes inside, and finding nothing wrong, accepted it.

"What are you people doing here?"

"Lord Su, these Frost Bass are alive. If you don't eat them right away, you'll need to keep them alive for a while. But the conditions for keeping them alive are very demanding; the temperature needs to be right. These people are here to help you modify your fishpond."

"Oh, this Frozen Bass is quite interesting."

He walked up to the man carrying the wooden bucket and examined him.

The wooden bucket was not made of ordinary wood, but of insulated ironwood. At the bottom of the bucket was a piece of cold marrow stone that emitted a faint blue light, maintaining the low temperature of the water, and broken ice could be clearly seen floating on the surface.

In the water, a fish about a foot long and crystal clear was swimming slowly.

This fish was incredibly beautiful; its scales seemed to be sculpted from the purest ice crystals, refracting light with a halo. As it swam, it exhaled not bubbles from its mouth and nostrils, but wisps of white, cold mist, giving it an otherworldly appearance.

"What a magnificent ice bass!"

Su Yu sighed in admiration. This fish was clearly an extremely precious treasure, probably much more valuable than the black pomfret or the red oil fish king.

"Let's go to the backyard."

Su Yu led them to the lotus pond in the inner courtyard. He had already eaten all the precious fish there, and now only some koi remained.

Jiang Kui carefully examined the area and nodded, saying, "Sir, the location of this pool is excellent. You happen to have a Fire Yang Stone array in your courtyard, providing ample Yang energy. We only need to bury a Cold Marrow Stone on the other side of the pool's bottom and then channel the energy, and we can transform it into a Water-Fire Yin-Yang Pool!"

"On one side, the temperature is warm enough to raise precious fish such as the Red Oil Fish King; on the other side, it's as cold as ice, perfect for raising the Ice Bass. This balance of yin and yang is also very beneficial to the feng shui of the entire courtyard."

Su Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

A pool of water and fire, yin and yang? That sounds good.

If we get more precious fish later, we can keep them in there.

"Great! Thank you for your trouble, Butler Jiang. I wonder how long the renovation will take?"

"Three to five days is enough."

"Okay, let's get started!"
