Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

run.

Must run!

You'll die...

At this moment, the man was filled with fear, his mind had completely lost the ability to think, and he had only instinct: to run away!

However, his speed was far too slow compared to Lu Changqing's.

Just as he turned around, Lu Changqing pounced like a cheetah!

A muffled "bang" was heard.

Lu Changqing then pinned him to the ground!

Then he pressed down with one knee, using his knee to firmly clamp the man's neck, rendering him unable to move!

With just a little force, he could crush the man's neck completely!

"Spare me..."

"Spare me..."

The man felt like he was suffocating.

He spoke with great difficulty.

Lu Changqing acted quickly, pinning the man down and then locking his arms and hands in a lock. "Why is your Tiger Head Gang targeting me!"

Under immense pressure, the man almost blurted out:

"If my senior brother captures you, he will receive even greater power from the Umbrella Sect..."

"May they ultimately receive divine favor and attain eternal life..."

Lu Changqing's pupils contracted upon hearing the trembling, somewhat suffocating words.

It's actually related to the Umbrella Cult?

Therefore, the Tiger Head Gang did not target me because of personal grudges or martial arts school feuds!

"Why was I chosen?" Lu Changqing wanted to know the specific reason, so he slammed his knee down again, making the man even more terrified.

"Because... your body is born with injuries that meet the requirements for divine sacrifice..." The man gasped for breath, his words broken and strained, "No, don't kill me..."

"You should... also be favored by immortals and demons. You are no longer a crippled person born with injuries... We are no longer enemies..."

Lu Changqing's eyes flickered slightly. "You can see the demonic fish soul within me?"

The man pleaded, "I can't see clearly... but I can sense something... please don't kill me..."

"Nonsense!" Lu Changqing interrupted his pleas for mercy with a sharp shout, "What level is your senior brother in martial arts?"

"Second practice..." The man wanted to turn to look at Lu Changqing, to show him his sincere eyes, "The fish on him aren't as big as yours... We're all from the water, we're family... uh—"

Click!

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Lu Changqing didn't hesitate any longer. With a forceful knee strike, the man's neck snapped instantly.

His eyes suddenly bulged, blood and foam spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he finally collapsed to the ground.

Lu Changqing got up, walked to the side, behind the Tiger Head Gang member who was gradually waking up but still unable to get up, raised his foot and stomped hard on his neck!

Click!

The two were utterly and completely dead.

At the same time, in Lu Changqing's mind, the lanternfish spirit that emerged from the Tai Chi diagram was quite satisfied as it swallowed the two small black fish into its belly, making them even more solid.

The black energy in the Tai Chi diagram has also been filled, reaching a quarter of the level.

The moonlight shone on Lu Changqing, casting a long shadow of his slender figure.

He recalled the information the man had just blurted out...

The leader of the Tiger Head Gang, Erlian...

He has been somewhat involved with the Umbrella Cult...

In other words, the person who wants to kill you is also your prey...

[Martial Arts: Tai Chi Stance (Proficient, 1391/3000), Hundred-Foot Soaring Step (Proficient, 2447/3000)]

From the time he began practicing martial arts until now, his progress in cultivation has never stopped.

In addition, Liu Bai provided meticulous guidance and solid nutritional supplements.

Both the stance training and techniques are progressing very well.

With the Hundred-Foot Astonishing Step, he will be able to break through in another three to five days.

With Tai Chi stance training, one can enter a completely new realm in at most ten days, less than half a month!

At that time, he will also be in his second training session!

Combined with the stat boosts from the cheat system itself, and the additional bonuses from improved martial arts skills...

To be honest, killing the leader of the Tiger Head Gang and the remaining disciples of Minghao Martial Arts School would be a piece of cake!

With this thought in mind, Lu Changqing looked at the Tai Chi diagram, which still contained a considerable amount of black energy...

I was just wondering where to find the demon.

We already have a direction!

Take down that "big fish"—the leader of the Tiger Head Gang.

Then kill the rest of the small shrimp as well.

With his demonic fish talent, he can evolve or choose again, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Changqing's eyes flashed with excitement and longing.

The demonic fish soul that had just swallowed the black energy in his mind also swayed along with it.

...

...

Four days passed in the blink of an eye.

in the courtyard.

Lu Changqing strode forward, his figure leaving a faint afterimage.

Through repeated practice, he suddenly noticed a power, far lighter and more explosive than before, rising from the soles of his feet and running through his waist and legs.

【Hundred-Foot Rainbow Step (Proficient → Minor Success, 0/5000, Attack +2)】

Attack: 4 → 5

He stopped abruptly the moment he broke through.

He squinted slightly, sensing the changes in his body.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and pushed off with his feet.

"Whoosh—!"

His figure flashed by, making three rapid turns between the five bluestone slabs!

As the final turn was completed, the first brick touched by the toe cracked with a soft "click"!

Before the afterimage had faded, the real body had already returned to its original spot!

He turned back after fifteen zhang, shattering the hard bricks, his breathing barely erratic!

Lu Changqing stood still, feeling the new energy surging within him and the completely different lightness, and couldn't help but smile.

Strength and speed have improved again!

If I can break through my stance training, I should be able to defeat the Tiger Head Gang leader who is only at the second level!

Liu Bai, standing to the side, couldn't help but admire Lu Changqing's rapidly turning back!

Another breakthrough!

They have excellent talent and comprehension!

In less than two months, my stance training has made progress, and my footwork has also reached a minor level of mastery!

Most martial arts practitioners don't have Lu Changqing's level of progress!

He stood up, walked to Lu Changqing's side, and said, "You're a diligent kid, you've made rapid progress!"

"Excellent, very excellent!"

Lu Changqing smiled and said, "It's also inseparable from Young Master Liu's guidance."

Knowing Lu Changqing's personality, Liu Bai didn't dwell on the topic, but simply sighed, "Your father was really... a pity, he didn't let you try martial arts earlier."

He originally wanted to say something blunt, but then, thinking of Lu Changqing's experience, he changed to a more tactful way of saying it: "If you had started practicing martial arts earlier, not only would your health have improved, but you would probably have achieved something in martial arts as well."

Lu Changqing did not respond, but he did not think so in his heart.

He has self-awareness.

Diligence may be his strength, but the bigger reason is the huge positive feedback that his "golden touch" brought him.

There's also the addition of points to the Tai Chi diagram...

If neither of these two reasons exists.

His martial arts practice might actually accelerate the decline of his already weak body.

After a brief chat, Liu Bai did not leave as usual, but instead spoke to him:

"Your legwork is now quite solid."

"Then I will teach you a skill with your hands."

At this point, Liu Bai paused for a moment.

Thinking of Lu Changqing's diligence and the comprehension he had recently shown... he no longer hesitated.

"This hand technique is of a much higher grade than the Hundred-Foot Soaring Step."

"Even in the martial arts world of the previous dynasty, it wasn't something an ordinary person could practice."

Would you like to give it a try?

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing's eyes lit up.

"think!"
