After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

Ok?

Gu Xin looked at Yang Wei with surprise and uncertainty.

Is this a case of the barefoot not being afraid of those wearing shoes?

Gu Xin quickly recalled Yang Wei's attitude when dealing with Lei Tong's threats, and his mind began to race.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xin tentatively asked, "Master, aren't you afraid of a joint retaliation from the four major clans and the Zhou Clan Martial Arts School?"

"revenge?"

Yang Wei scoffed, "When they retaliate, do you think I wouldn't run away?"

"Can they escape?"

"Hey kid, looking down on your master?"

Yang Wei sneered, "In the entire Qingyuan County, there is currently no one who can keep my master."

As expected of someone from the Imperial Guard, he is very confident.

Gu Xin's anxious heart calmed down.

If Yang Wei is not afraid of retaliation from the four major clans and the Zhou family martial arts school, then he can act recklessly and do whatever he wants.

"That's all, Master, I'll be going now!"

Gu Xin wasted no more time and turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Yang Wei was taken aback, somewhat surprised.

"Let's go cultivate!"

Gu Xin didn't even turn his head, quickly disappearing around the corner of the corridor.

Cultivation?

Yang Wei was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and frowned.

Is it too late to start cultivating now?

The people from the four major clans and the Zhou family martial arts school will arrive tomorrow at noon.

He doesn't intend to master martial arts in a single day, does he?

Gu Xin didn't have time to answer Yang Wei's questions.

Gu Xin returned to the front yard, sat down on the ground, and began to practice the stance training.

He still has 40 years of cultivation experience that he hasn't used yet.

I wonder how much my strength will increase after using all this cultivation experience?

Filled with hope, Gu Xin began his deduction.

After years of arduous practice, you have gained a profound understanding of the Walking Horse Stance Technique.

But even with your extensive experience, you still feel your understanding is not thorough enough, and you are determined to continue your contemplation.

However, your comprehension is not high, and your innate talent is insufficient.

You still firmly believe that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and that the early bird catches the worm, refusing to give up easily.

Finally, after ten years of hard work, your efforts moved Heaven, and you gained a new understanding of the Horse Stance Technique.

[Walking Horse Stance Skill: Reaching the Pinnacle]

Cultivation experience: 30 years

boom!

As the drill ended, Gu Xin's blood and qi surged once again.

This boiling over was more intense than ever before.

Like a mountain torrent bursting its banks, like a tsunami churning.

They could even hear a rumbling sound reverberating within Gu Xin's body.

As his blood and qi surged, Gu Xin's body trembled uncontrollably.

My entire body was constantly tense.

It seems as if it might burst through the skin and overflow if we're not careful.

It's bloated!

I feel so bloated!

This change left Gu Xin with only one feeling.

It felt like my body was being stretched open.

clack clack...

Gradually, Gu Xin could hear his own bones cracking.

It is being continuously stretched and strengthened by an inexplicable force.

Gu Xin didn't know how long this feeling lasted.

By the time it was all over, he was covered in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

His clothes were completely soaked.

Despite his somewhat disheveled appearance, Gu Xin's aura was steadily rising, becoming exceptionally powerful.

His blood and energy surged powerfully, and one could faintly hear a gurgling sound as it flowed.

This is a manifestation of extremely rich and abundant Qi and blood.

Gu Xin stood up, looked himself over, and found that his physique seemed to have become much stronger.

The clothes, which were originally a bit loose, were now stretched tight.

The pants that used to cover my ankles no longer do.

Clearly, he has also grown taller, probably close to 1.8 meters.

Gu Xin tried clenching his fist and found that his fingers were unusually strong.

It's as if you could crush a child's skull with just a few squeezes.

"Wow, that's amazing! The difference is huge!"

Gu Xin secretly assessed that his strength was now more than twice as great as before.

The peak stage of stance training has an extraordinary effect on increasing strength.

"If I were to exchange punches with my third senior brother now, I probably wouldn't lose too badly, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xin didn't delve into it further, sat down again, and continued to deduce the Galloping Horse Fist.

However, with his stance training perfected, it seems unlikely that he could withstand the suppression from the four major clans and the Zhou family martial arts school.

Since they are determined to challenge us, they will definitely stop at nothing.

A war of attrition is essential.

This is why the master was worried about the third senior brother.

"This kid... he really broke through?"

As Gu Xin continued to demonstrate martial arts techniques, Yang Wei, who had just entered the inner courtyard, snapped out of his daze.

Clearly, Gu Xin's breakthrough in stance training and the changes in his qi and blood could not escape Yang Wei's perception.

"Strange, this kid's blood and qi are clearly comparable to those of a martial artist who has entered the realm, but his cultivation level is still not at that level."

Yang Wei gazed towards the front yard, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Under normal circumstances, once one's stance training reaches a high level of proficiency, one's Qi and blood will be sufficient to support breaking through to a higher realm.

Gu Xin's blood and qi were surging to the point that he was no less than a martial artist in the Entry Realm, yet he did not break through.

This seems rather strange.

Although Gu Xin's physical strength is not high, it is not so low that he cannot break through to the next realm.

"boom!"

Just as Yang Wei was lost in thought, filled with surprise and doubt, another commotion erupted in the front yard.

The commotion was so intense that the walls and courtyard surrounding the front yard swayed slightly.

It felt like an earthquake had struck.

This is……

Startled and suspicious, Yang Wei leaped up like a swallow, quietly landing on the roof of the inner courtyard.

Standing on the roof ridge, I looked out into the distance at the front yard of the martial arts school.

In the front yard, Gu Xin stood up, his fist clenched, exuding a powerful aura.

In front of him, a stone tablet that had once stood taller than a person had been reduced to rubble.

……

Galloping Horse Fist, reaching its pinnacle.

At this stage, the power unleashed by the Galloping Horse Fist has already reached the level of splitting stone tablets and shattering rocks.

Gu Xin exhaled, and the surging blood and qi gradually calmed down.

Now, if he were to exchange blows with his third senior brother, Zhou Tai, he was confident that he could hold his own and not be at a disadvantage.

This means that he already possesses the strength to fight a martial artist in the early stage of the Blood Might Realm head-on.

Of course, this kind of battle is only a match for them.

Defeating them might be beyond our capabilities.

However, Gu Xin was not discouraged.

He still has room for improvement.

"Deduction of galloping horses."

Gu Xin continued to deduce martial arts techniques.

After another ten years of cultivation experience, the galloping horse reached the perfect stage.

[Galloping Horse: Reaching the Pinnacle]

Cultivation experience: 10 years

As the attribute panel changed again, Gu Xin felt as if his body had become lighter.

The muscles in my legs seemed to have become firmer.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Xin tried running, and with his first step, he felt like he was speeding by.

It was fast and fierce.

It's as if I've transformed into a magnificent steed.

Both reaction time and speed have been significantly improved.

Even their senses have become sharper and more acute.

"Ten years of cultivation experience left, all in! Deducing the Galloping Horse Blade."

Gu Xin did not stop, and after consuming all the accumulated cultivation experience, he continued to deduce the Galloping Horse Blade.

As Gu Xin reached the pinnacle of his skill with the galloping horse saber, a long string of saber-training experience suddenly appeared in his mind.

It felt as if he had practiced swordsmanship for ten years and had mastered its use.

He can wield a knife with incredible skill, even with the most casual movements.

At this moment, Gu Xin exuded a sense of confidence, an aura of "I have the world at my fingertips."

"Now, I should be able to face anyone at the early stage of the Blood Might Realm without fear, right?"

Gu Xin was filled with excitement and couldn't help but feel a strong fighting spirit.

Looking around, one can't help but feel regret.

If my third senior brother weren't here, I could reassess my own strength.

Gu Xin had no choice but to suppress his fighting spirit, patted his chest, and looked at his attribute panel.

[Cultivation Level: Not Yet Entered the Realm]

[Standing Posture Training: Horse Stance Training (Peak Level)]

[Techniques: Galloping Horse Fist (Peak Mastery), Galloping Horse Saber (Peak Mastery), Galloping Horse (Peak Mastery), Mountain-Crushing Fist (Consummate Skill)]

Cultivation experience: 0 years

"His stance training and techniques have almost reached the pinnacle. Now, when he unleashes his full power, he should be able to rival someone in the early stages of the Blood Strengthening Realm."

Gu Xin rubbed his hands together, thinking to himself, "Once I reach the early stage of the Blood Strengthening Realm, my strength will increase significantly. At that time, I will still be able to gain the upper hand among those of the same realm."

People like Qi Yu are definitely no match for me.

I just don't know what Qi Yu's ranking is in the Zhou Family Martial Arts School.

Someone who's assigned to run errands and deliver messages probably doesn't have a very high status.

Therefore, there are probably some practitioners in the Zhou family martial arts school who have reached the pinnacle of their skills in stance training or techniques.

"That's not enough! We need to keep working hard and push the Mountain-Crushing Fist to its limit, increasing its power even further. To deal with the enemy, we must make every effort to be fully prepared."

To perfect the Mountain-Crushing Fist, one still needs ten years of training experience.

Gu Xinyun's luck was running out, and his mood was inevitably restless.

Where can I pick up ten years of cultivation experience?

Gu Xin walked out of the martial arts school gate, stood on the steps outside, and looked around at the bustling street outside.

Gradually, a goal emerged in my mind.
