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

"You're asking for it!" Jiang Liuchuan laughed and scolded, pulling the shy new concubine to her seat. With a wave of his hand, he announced, "Let the feast begin!"

A stream of delicacies was served to the table by the maids. The eight-treasure delicacy was incredibly fragrant.

The most eye-catching dish was undoubtedly the frozen sea bass sashimi. The fish was translucent and served on crushed ice, revealing the pale blue bones beneath the skin. A chilling aura emanated from the dish, making the surrounding air feel several degrees colder.

And that plate of braised grouse meat, its color as red as fire, its texture firm, and its aroma rich and exotic.

The meat of the flying dragon is not from a real flying dragon, but from a kind of bird or beast with bright red feathers all over its body. It is about the size of a small sheep, but has great strength and can fight tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests.

"Jiang Liuchuan is really generous; he even managed to get his hands on this rare Ice Bass." Lin Wanzhu's beautiful eyes lit up. "It seems the Jiang family's trade route to the north is now open."

After saying that, she elegantly picked up a piece of sashimi and put it in her mouth. Then she squinted her eyes in satisfaction, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

No longer holding back, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat the Frozen Perch. This precious fish was nourishing and beneficial to martial artists.

Su Yu didn't hesitate and immediately picked up a slice of icy perch and put it in his mouth.

"hiss!"

The moment the fish touched the tip of the tongue, an intense chill exploded, as if swallowing a mouthful of ice. But as the fish slid down the stomach, that chill instantly transformed into a pure heat, like boiling oil poured onto charcoal, igniting the blood and energy within the body!

"What a powerful effect on blood circulation!"

Su Yu immediately picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.

……

Before long, the Ice Bass was completely devoured by everyone.

Su Yu immediately followed the others and began to taste the flying dragon meat again.

The dragon meat was quickly finished, and the other senior brothers suddenly stopped and started chatting.

Only Su Yu, Chen Fan, and Wang Hu remained to continue tasting the food.

Chen Fan glanced at the other senior brothers, hesitated for a moment, and then reservedly put down his chopsticks. Wang Hu immediately followed suit.

Su Yu remained oblivious to everyone else, continuing to savor the spirit deer meat, crab roe soup dumplings, and other ingredients. These ingredients were not ordinary either, but they couldn't compare to the treasure fish and the flying dragon.

But anything that can replenish Qi and blood is a good thing!

……

After a hearty meal and drinks, everyone began to chat about matters concerning the martial arts school.

Su Yu knew his current status was insufficient, given that almost everyone present was a martial artist. He was only speaking up because of Jiang Liuchuan's influence, so he refrained from interrupting.

"Our senior brother's injuries haven't healed yet. If our White Ape Martial Arts School wants to surpass the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School in this sparring match, I'm afraid it will be difficult," Xu Feng sighed.

"What are you afraid of!" Senior Brother Zhao from the inner courtyard looked at Chen Fan with eager eyes. "We still have Junior Brother Chen! Junior Brother Chen, this is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself."

Chen Fan smiled slightly, confident and composed: "Senior brother, rest assured. I have sensed my Qi and blood reaching perfection these past few days, and I am only one step away from breaking through to the Martial Artist level! When that time comes, I will certainly not tarnish Master's reputation!"

"Good! That's ambitious!" Everyone cheered.

Chen Fan immediately raised his glass, "Then I'll toast all my senior brothers and sisters again. I will definitely lead my two junior brothers to do a good job in all matters concerning our White Ape Martial Arts School in the future!"

His gaze swept over Su Yu and Wang Hu, with the air of someone in a superior position.

……

The banquet ended, and both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves immensely.

Su Yu and Wang Hu walked outside together.

As I passed the stage in the front yard, a high-pitched opera tune drifted over, and the opera was still being sung.

"...On that day, the evil black dragon stirred up storms, devouring people and livestock, and the cries of anguish shook the heavens across the vast marshland!"

The two of them unconsciously stopped and listened for a while.

"Just then, General Wang happened to pass by. Enraged, his hair stood on end, and the divine spear in his hand transformed into a dragon! With a single thrust, he cleaved the river, slaying the evil dragon beneath the Black Stone Cliff!"

On stage, the martial arts performer tumbled and leaped, his spear flashing like a dragon, drawing cheers from the audience.

Su Yu listened with great interest; this must be a theatrical performance about the history of Blackrock City.

"A single shot cleaved the river... Was this General Wang a real person?"

Faced with Su Yu's question, Wang Hu scratched his head and said, "Senior Brother Su, I've heard my father mention this General Wang before. It seems he really is a real person. The Wang family, one of the three major families in the inner city, seems to be descendants of General Wang."

"Oh? The Wang family, one of the three great families?" Su Yu was startled. This was a powerful family in Blackstone City with hundreds of years of history.

The Wang, Zhao, and Li families, these three powerful clans, control the true power in Blackrock City, and in recent years their influence has far surpassed that of the Blackrock Army.

Since this opera has become so popular, it might actually be related to the Wang family. But with it being so widely circulated, don't the other two major families care?

However, Su Yu did not delve into it further, as these three major families were still too far removed from his own interests.

After listening to the opera, the two were about to leave when Su Yu's gaze sharpened.

On the other side of the stage, a man and a woman are walking hand in hand.

The man was dressed in white, with a fair complexion; he was none other than his cousin, Su Can, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

The girl beside him was dressed in fine clothes and had a shrewd look in her eyes. She was holding Su Can's hand affectionately. Su Can's face turned as red as an apple, but he did not pull away.

"Third brother!"

Su Yu called out.

Su Can was startled and hurriedly pulled his hand back. When he saw Su Yu, a look of surprise and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

"Second...Second Brother? What are you doing here?"

"Yes, Jiang Liuchuan is a senior disciple at the martial arts school. I'm here for the banquet," Su Yu explained simply, his gaze falling on the girl. "And this is?"

Su Can's face immediately turned red, and he stammered, unable to speak.

The young woman stepped forward gracefully and said, "Hello, Second Brother. My name is Mo Yuhuan. I am a disciple of Hongshan Martial Arts School and also A-Can's senior sister."

……

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Yu asked before leaving, "Third brother, have you been home recently?"

Su Can shook his head, his face showing a hint of apology, but even more so, youthful vigor:

"I haven't been back for half a year. My master told me to focus all my efforts on advancing to the martial arts level, so I can't afford to be distracted! But my dad recently found a job in the city, so I can see him regularly. They said everything is fine at home and told me not to worry."

"Everything is fine..."

Su Yu sighed inwardly. It seemed that his third aunt and third uncle hadn't said anything to this younger brother.

But since he hadn't said anything, he didn't want to say anything more.

He simply nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you should practice martial arts diligently. Break through to a higher level as soon as possible, and don't let... your family down."

……

Back at the martial arts school, it was already late at night.

Su Yu did not return to his room, but went straight to the training ground.

At this moment, the blood and qi in my body are surging, it seems I've eaten quite a lot of good food today.

So, under the cover of night, he began practicing the White Ape Six Transformations stance again.

With each repetition of the standing meditation, the energy accumulated in my body from the precious fish meat, flying dragon meat, and other good things today was fully utilized.
