From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Fang Chulan stood there, not even having recovered her senses, when she saw the sky filled with the light of countless guns engulfing her.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure surged forth, as if a giant hand had gripped her heart.

Fang Chulan tried to resist, but she found that the light from the spear enveloped her, making her movements much slower.

It's not that she's slow!

Instead, it was Fang Qing's first move of the Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thrust: Piercing Rainbow Style, which was too fast.

Just as Fang Qing's spear light was about to engulf Fang Chulan.

Fang Qing was confident that if Fang Chulan were to be touched by even a tiny bit of that spear's light, it would be enough to pierce her completely.

The next moment, Zheng Shanhe snorted coldly and attacked again, standing in front of Fang Chulan.

The terrifying spear light, which seemed to fill the sky, was quickly compressed in Zheng Shanhe's hands.

Compress it to the size of a basketball.

Then compress it to the size of a chicken egg.

Under Zheng Shanhe's intervention, Fang Qing, who originally used the Guan Hong style, was forced to constantly retreat and defend.

Forced by Zheng Shanhe, they were forced to retreat continuously.

His feet had even left two deep grooves in the ground.

There is indeed an insurmountable gap between the True Essence Realm and the Body Tempering Realm.

Zheng Shanhe delivered another powerful punch.

Forced into a corner, Fang Qing poked another deep trench nearly two meters long behind him.

Zheng Shanhe finally stopped, panting heavily.

Zheng Shanhe looked down and raised his hand in disbelief to examine the several scratches on his palm.

A disciple at the Body Tempering Realm forced this True Essence Realm expert to use all his hidden skills.

It even caused Zheng Shanhe to suffer some injuries on his hands.

It has to be said that Fang Qing made Zheng Shanhe look at him in a new light for the first time.

"When did my good-for-nothing disciple become so capable?"

But the next moment, Zheng Shanhe felt a surge of joy.

Fang Qing's cultivation and strength are clearly on par with Fang Chulan's.

If we can completely subdue Fang Qing, Shanhe Boxing Academy might have two martial arts champions in this martial arts examination.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shanhe was extremely excited.

However, he knew that Fang Qing was arrogant and proud, and to win him over, he would need to use both kindness and severity.

We need to use some methods!

Zheng Shanhe immediately made up his mind and pointed directly in Fang Qing's direction:

"You unfilial disciple! How dare you address your master by his given name!"

"And now you're trying to kill your master, betraying your teacher and ancestors?"

Zheng Shanhe planned to first make a fuss about Fang Qing.

He wanted to instill fear in Fang Qing.

The goal is to make Fang Qing tremble and kneel down, begging for mercy.

Then, taking advantage of Fang Qing's drifting like a piece of duckweed, they extended an olive branch.

This will inevitably make Fang Qing grateful to him as his master, and he will serve him in the future.

At their beck and call!

……

Fang Qing's tiger's mouth was slightly torn, but he still gripped the Falcon Spear tightly.

With Zheng Shanhe present, he knew that it was impossible to kill Fang Chulan today.

As for Zheng Shanhe, Fang Qing is now even less qualified to withstand more than ten moves from him.

The next moment, Fang Qing suddenly slammed the Cangzhun Spear into the ground!

The gun vibrated and emitted a low hum.

Immediately afterwards, he straightened his body, standing like a javelin, turned his gaze towards Fang Wansan and Senior Sister Zheng, slowly raised his hands, and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Senior Brother Fang, Senior Sister Zheng, today Fang Qing is here, and I will call you senior brother and senior sister one last time."

Fang Qing remained grateful to the two men. They had taken good care of him during his two months at the Shanhe Boxing Academy, and he had never forgotten their kindness.

Clang...

A clear, metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out as Fang Qing drew the standard-issue sword issued by the Shanhe Boxing Academy from his waist.

He gripped the knife handle tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

The next moment, he raised his foot and kicked the blade hard!

Click!

A piercing cracking sound rang out, and the ordinary steel knife shattered into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

"From this day forward, I have absolutely no connection with the Mountain and River Boxing Academy!"

Fang Wansan and Senior Sister Zheng were both stunned upon seeing this.

This sword symbolized the identity bestowed upon him by his master, and Fang Qing's public destruction of it signified a complete break with the boxing academy. It was tantamount to severing all ties, and his master-disciple relationship with Zheng Shanhe was thus completely severed.

Although most of what Fang Qing learned was actually taught by Fang and Zheng, Zheng Shanhe never personally instructed him in even half a style of boxing.

Fang Wansan's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but thinking of Fang Qing's recent predicament of being ostracized by Zheng Shanhe and Fang Chulan, he ultimately swallowed his words. A complex sadness flashed across Senior Sister Zheng's eyes. Just now, Xie Yunzhou had pointed out that Fang Qing had broken through from the fourth to the fifth level of Body Tempering in only half a month.

Such talent is even more astonishing than Fang Chulan's. It's a pity that such a genius was pushed out of his own school by his own father.

It can only be said that fate is cruel.

Fang Chulan, who was standing to the side, finally regained some color in his face.

Seeing that Fang Qing was able to exchange several blows with Zheng Shanhe, she felt inexplicably tense.

Seeing Fang Qing's resolute words and actions, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension between his brows eased.

The one who was most furious on the field was Zheng Shanhe.

Fang Chulan is a direct descendant of the Fang family's patron. Her willingness to participate in the martial arts examination under the name of Shanhe Boxing Academy is undoubtedly a timely help for Zheng Shanhe, who is nearing the end of his life and desperately needs fame.

Zheng Shanhe had just discovered Fang Qing's extraordinary talent. This disciple, whom he had always looked down upon, had brought such a pleasant surprise. He was secretly pleased, thinking that this "additional talent" would be a great asset to the martial arts academy in the martial arts examination.

But to his utter surprise, Fang Qing actually shredded the boxing academy's standard-issue sword on the spot!

This is a complete break.

Given this child's temperament, if he were allowed to leave the Mountain and River Boxing Academy, he would likely end up accomplishing nothing in the future!

If Fang Qing were to truly make a name for himself outside, and even win the title of Juren in the martial arts examination... how would people from other martial arts schools and academies view Zheng Shanhe?!

"Since this boy is unwilling to serve me..."

A cold glint suddenly appeared in Zheng Shanhe's eyes.

"Then destroy it!!!"

He suddenly let out a cold snort, his voice as sharp as cold iron:

"Fang Qing! My Shanhe Boxing Academy is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

"Want to leave the boxing academy? Fine!!! Abandon your Mountain and River Tempering Body Technique and all your martial arts skills, sever your collarbone, and then get out of here on your own!"

Clang...

Fang Qing pulled the Cangzhun Spear from the ground with a backhand motion, its tip gleaming coldly.

His voice was completely unwavering.

"I pay ten taels of silver a month for tuition. The Mountain and River Tempering Technique is only a low-grade skill; it can be bought at Wanbao Pavilion for five taels of silver. Zheng Shanhe, what have you taught me?"

Zheng Shanhe gave a cold smile:

"It seems you're unwilling to cripple yourself and break your own bones. Then today... I'll personally settle this score!"

Zheng Shanhe shot out like a beast released from its cage, leaving a blurry afterimage in his wake!

The oppressive aura of a True Essence Realm expert swept out, stirring up dust on the ground.

Fang Qing's eyes narrowed, and he fully activated his fifth level of Body Tempering cultivation. The Cangzhun Spear in his hand suddenly burst open, and the spear shadows were like a rain of pear blossoms or fireworks exploding in the sky, instantly trying to seal off the space in front of him!
