In the field.

The more Hu Qitian fought, the more daunted he became.

Although this kid's control over his strength is not as good as his, the force behind every punch and kick is enormous.

If this continues, he simply cannot withstand it.

In a flash, Hu Qitian abruptly changed his move, transforming his fist into a palm, his five fingers like hooks, aiming for Hu Long's wrist. At the same time, he silently tripped Hu Long, attempting to disrupt his balance. This was a combination of grappling and leg techniques.

Hu Long, however, seemed to have anticipated this. He twisted his wrist, which was being held, and his muscles bulged as he forcefully broke free!

Using the momentum of his spin, his other elbow came crashing down like an iron mountain.

Hu Qitian had no choice but to raise his arm and brace himself.

Bang-!

A deafening roar, more solid and heavy than any of the previous collisions, exploded out.

Both of them trembled violently at the same time, and the mats on the ground beneath their feet tore open.

The enormous reaction force pushed the two of them to the sides, each staggering back several steps.

They steadied themselves and stood several meters apart, facing each other.

The training room fell silent suddenly, with only the heavy, suppressed breathing of the two men rising and falling in the stifling air.

Hu Qitian's expression was complicated.

"Rooted to the ground, that's truly integrated strength. Moreover, at this level, it won't be long before you reach the Tongli realm. No wonder you're the first genius in twenty years to lift the Deer Cauldron..."

Ordinary people fight by "swinging" their fists, but martial artists at the Body Forging Realm, due to their integrated strength, strike as if launching a punch.

Once you engage in combat, you'll see the secrets behind it.

But Hu Long's performance far exceeded his expectations.

However, considering that the other party was a genius who had already grasped some of the integrated power through combat techniques before even practicing stance training, such a rapid rate of progress is understandable.

"However, this time I was a bit too overconfident."

He was speechless, only feeling that the bones in his arms and legs, which had been exchanging blows with Hu Long, were numb and trembling.

To avoid being noticed and losing face, he could only stand with his hands behind his back.

As a mentor specifically assigned to teach the Hu family members the basics of secret martial arts, Hu Qitian's strength was undoubtedly exceptional; he had practically reached the limit in the Body Forging Realm.

Although Hu Long's strength was only at the third level of clumsy strength in the standing mountain stance, his power was still considerable.

"Such innate superhuman strength is truly a terrifying talent."

"I lost. I feel like I can't go on anymore. I'm just strong, but when it comes to mastering power, I can't compare to you, Coach."

Hu Longdao.

As he spoke, he moved his hands and feet, seemingly in pain.

Of course, although it was a little numb, it wasn't to this extent.

This is just for show, to save face for the other party.

In the previous exchange, he had suppressed some of his strength and power.

After all, there's a limit to genius; if someone is too prodigious, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

At least that's how it is when he's fully grown up.

For Hu Long, demonstrating his strength wasn't just about showing off; that would be meaningless.

Its real purpose is to enable him to receive preferential treatment and attention.

Just now, after this exchange, he had a rough estimate of his own strength.

Thanks to the characteristics of perfect-level mixed martial arts, which integrate mind and body, coupled with innate superhuman strength.

Hu Qitian was no match for him; he was inferior in both strength and fighting skills.

The only disadvantage it has over its opponent is that its strength is unified and smooth.

Hearing what Hu Long said.

A slight smile appeared on Hu Qitian's face.

"Don't be too modest. Although I taught you, your amazing achievements are ultimately due to your own efforts."

Hu Qitian felt relieved.

There are geniuses who can fight against opponents of higher levels.

After all, if you can't even do this, how can you be called a genius?

Moreover, while cultivation level is very important in combat among martial artists, many other factors also play a role.

If your cultivation level is high, you can win.

Then when fighting, you can just reveal your cultivation level to each other, and there's no need to actually fight.

Of course, fighting beyond one's level is generally related to secret martial arts training.

Furthermore, even if it's a battle between realms, it's only a battle between minor realms. It's almost impossible to cross a major realm, since the gap becomes increasingly difficult as you move up, like an insurmountable chasm that no matter how talented you are, it's hard to cross.

……

Watching Hu Zetong and Hu Long leave with Hu Qitian, the three people in the training room had complicated expressions, and none of them spoke.

Even Hu Wei, who was usually the most outgoing, fell silent at this moment.

For the first time, he truly felt the difference in talent.

The difference is just too big.

In just a few days, the two had mastered the whole force and officially entered the ranks of secret martial artists.

The three of them have only managed to become somewhat proficient in the standing mountain stance so far, and they haven't felt even a fraction of its power yet.

Is this what they call the gap in qualifications?

"Don't be discouraged. As long as we work hard in our training, we can definitely do it too."

A girl named Hu Qiao suddenly spoke up, clenching her fist slightly as if to encourage herself.

"That's right!"

The boy named Hu Wen, who was standing to the side, nodded, a look of determination on his face.

Having experienced the harsh realities of life, Hu Wei understood that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, no matter how hard they tried in their lives, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up with those two.

But he didn't say anything.

Young people should have dreams and passion.

……

The three of them had no idea what was happening in the training room behind them.

Hu Zetong and Hu Long did not leave the Tongbi Club, but instead followed Hu Qitian up the elevator.

The club occupies a large area and has five floors.

Besides the lobby and a few meeting rooms on the first floor, various training rooms are located on the second to fourth floors.

This was their first time visiting the fifth floor.

This floor has no extra furnishings, only one office.

—Knock knock!

Hu Qitian raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A voice answered from behind the door.

Pushing open the door, I found myself in an office, with a person sitting in a chair behind the desk.

She was a woman in her forties, with a mole at the corner of her eye and slightly thin lips.

"Director, these two students have broken through to the Body Forging Realm. I've brought them here to complete their formal registration as Secret Martial Artists."

"Oh, you broke through so quickly? It's only been ten days since you started practicing the Mountain-Standing Posture."

The woman's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze falling on Hu Long and Hu Zetong behind Hu Qitian, especially lingering for a moment on their slightly dark circles under their eyes.

"While the practice of secret martial arts certainly requires diligent study and hard work, it is also important to maintain a proper balance. When you are tired, you should rest, otherwise you will only damage your foundation and cause physical depletion."

"Yes."

At Hu Qitian's signal, the two had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Hu Long had no intention of explaining the misunderstanding.

"However, even with excessive training, being able to master the whole force in such a short time is enough to prove that you have extraordinary talent."

The woman changed the subject and took out two stacks of documents from a drawer.

"Here, take a look at the contents. If there are no problems, sign this registration form first."

When Hu Long took the paper, his fingers seemed to accidentally touch the other person's hand.

In the blink of an eye, he had obtained the other party's information.

After seeing it clearly, a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
