From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Fang Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to walk towards the bathtub next to him.

Then he remembered that the last pack of body-tempering medicine had already been used up.

I can no longer improve my physical condition.

After thinking about it, Fang Qing could only rinse it simply with water.

I went out to the next street and bought some breakfast.

He then immediately returned to the Shanhe Boxing Academy to continue training.

With 10 more repetitions of the Undying Golden Body Tempering Technique remaining, he can increase the fusion progress to 100%.

Fang Qing dared not waste any time.

But when Fang Qing returned to the Shanhe Boxing Academy, he immediately saw that the training ground in District D had become lively.

Fang Wansan was leading a group of people to move sandbags, wooden dummies, and other stone locks from the training ground in Zone A.

As Fang Wansan was giving instructions, he caught a glimpse of Fang Qing walking in out of the corner of his eye, and greeted him with a smile:

"Junior Brother Fang Qing, come and help. The training ground in Area A recently purchased a batch of sandbags, wooden dummies, and stone weights—these are all things for strength training."

I noticed that the old strength training gear was still quite new, so I suggested to the master that we move it to your training ground. That way, you won't have to just practice with your bare hands anymore.

Fang Qing naturally dared not be presumptuous.

At this moment, the other people in the training ground of District D were busy, and Fang Qing also rushed over to help.

Seeing the sandbags, wooden dummies, and stone weights, the other disciples who had just started training with Fang Qing were quite excited.

After all, they usually practice empty-handed, so there's no set method for how well they practice.

After a great deal of effort, they finally managed to move the sandbags and wooden dummy over.

When they were next arranged by Fang Wansan to help the senior students in the training ground of Zone A move brand new sandbags, wooden dummies and stone locks purchased from Wanbaoge.

The other disciples from District D who were working with Fang Qing all looked dejected.

"I was quite excited when I saw the wooden dummies, sandbags, and stone weights that were returned to us from the training ground in Zone A. But now that I think about it, they were all leftovers from the senior students in Zone A."

Seeing these new gadgets delivered by Wanbaoge, with their exquisite materials and excellent quality, our old gadgets simply can't compare.

The disciple who was moving the stone locks with Fang Qing was named Xie Yunzhou.

Xie Yunzhou's father was an accountant in the Fang family, responsible for managing their finances.

Because he held a certain position in the Xie family, they spent a lot of money and used many connections to send Xie Yunzhou to the Shanhe Boxing Academy.

Unfortunately, Xie Yunzhou's talent was not high, so he was assigned to the D training ground.

The others were in similar situations to Xie Yunzhou; they were all managers in various parts of the Fang family, a salt merchant family.

Some were the children of accountants, while others were the children of those in charge of canal transport.

Just as Fang Qing and the others were helping the training ground in Zone A move the new strength training equipment that Wanbaoge had purchased.

Most of the Fang family members who were originally in the training ground of Zone A were sitting together chatting with their arms crossed.

After all, these Fang family members are descendants of the patrons of the Shanhe Boxing Academy.

It's considered perfectly reasonable for them not to work.

Naturally, these physical tasks fell to Ding Qufangqing and his group.

However, Fang Qing overheard a bit of their conversation.

Most of the conversations revolved around romantic and poetic topics.

In particular, several young masters were even talking about how they had competed with other wealthy merchants for the title of courtesan in a brothel a few days ago.

After listening for a few minutes, Fang Qing stopped listening and focused on his work.

These Fang family scions have been wealthy for too long and have developed too many aristocratic habits.

However, they were unaware of the principle that martial arts were the most important thing in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Who can guarantee that the Fang family will remain standing forever?

……

Fang Qing didn't notice that a small group of two men and one woman were watching from a distance, arms crossed, as Fang Qing and his group moved sandbags and wooden dummy.

The woman standing in the middle watched for a while, then nodded slightly and said to her companion:

"That's him!"

Upon hearing the sound, the two companions turned around and glanced at Fang Qing.

Only then did he shift his gaze to other places...

……

After setting up the sandbags, wooden dummies, and stone weights, Fang Qing and his team returned to the training ground in Zone D.

The excitement they felt when they received so many strength-training tools had completely vanished from Xie Yunzhou and the others' faces.

Although Fang Wansan was also a member of the Fang family, he still came along specifically to guide Xie Yunzhou and the others in setting up the sandbags and other strength training equipment.

At this moment, near the edge of their training ground, six sandbags were suspended directly from a wooden frame by ropes.

Fang Qing glanced at the wooden dummy piled in the corner at this moment.

Back on Earth, Fang Qing came from a family of martial arts practitioners.

For ordinary people, hitting a punching bag to build strength is suitable.

Fang Qing's Undying Golden Body Tempering Technique requires not only a strong physique but also the ability to fight and kill in actual combat.

Sandbags are not enough for training in killing enemies and combat.

We need to use wooden dummy sets.

More importantly, Fang Qing had just tried out these sandbags that had been taken down from the training ground in Zone A.

Fang Qing could punch through a sandbag with a single punch.

There is absolutely no need to use sandbags.

The wooden dummy can not only help train the hardness of the fist surface, but also improve the martial artist's reaction speed.

It's considered a relatively advanced training facility, second only to real-person combat.

"Third Senior Brother, I don't need the sandbags anymore, I want to use these wooden dummies!"

Fang Wansan instructed Xie Yunzhou and the others to place the stone locks in the designated locations. Upon hearing Fang Qing's words, he turned to look at the wooden dummies lying haphazardly on the ground.

The next moment, an embarrassed look flashed across Fang Wansan's face.

Because these wooden dummy stakes are all covered with a layer of cowhide.

However, many of these cowhides were tattered and worn out.

Most of them weren't smashed by fists, but rather by cuts from weapons like knives, guns, and swords.

Logically speaking, training with wooden dummy is all about physical strength, so it's impossible to use weapons.

Unfortunately, most of the Fang family's disciples at the training ground in Zone A were just rich young masters.

Although they were at the bottom compared to the direct descendants of the Fang family.

However, being a member of the Fang family, Fang Wansan was one of the very few who could endure the hardships of martial arts training.

Especially the few Fang family members who came in a couple of days ago, they were all complete spoiled brats.

This made Fang Wansan blush with embarrassment, realizing that he had misspoke. He had been very friendly to the Fang family members who had introduced the training ground in Zone A to Fang Qing a few days earlier.

"Junior Brother Fang Qing, if you prefer to use a wooden dummy, that's perfectly fine too."

"However, most of these wooden dummy sets are somewhat damaged, so you may need to assemble them yourself."

Fang Qing naturally didn't care about any of this.

Looking down at the wooden dummy lying haphazardly on the ground, he wondered which parts he could take and put together to form a complete wooden dummy.

Fang Wansan thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and spoke to Fang Qing.

"Junior Brother Fang, recently several disciples with exceptional talent have arrived from the Fang family's main branch."

"Logically speaking, you've been here a few days before them, so you're considered their senior. However, these people are highly talented and arrogant. If they offend you in any way, I hope you can bear with it..."

Fang Qing frowned and looked towards the training ground in Zone A, where three unfamiliar figures stood...

The group was all quite young, probably a year or two older than Fang Qingnian.

However, judging from their clothes and jewelry, they are clearly children raised by wealthy families.

It's probably from the main branch of the Fang family.

Doesn't the main branch of the Fang family have its own private martial arts school? What are they doing here?
