Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

"What's wrong, junior brother?"

Seeing Chen Feng fall silent, Zhao Shanyue assumed that he had gone too far and that Chen Feng was struggling to cope.

"N-nothing... I was just thinking, senior brother, you've already taught me so much in just a short while, so wouldn't Master be even more amazing?"

Chen Feng spoke his mind truthfully.

"Since I started learning, apart from demonstrating the boxing techniques, I have never asked my master for any instruction."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shanyue said:

"When it comes to sparring, you should find someone whose level matches yours. However, for other issues, you really need to consult your master more often. Your master is highly skilled and has a deep understanding of the path of martial arts."

At this moment, Zhao Shanyue's evaluation of Chen Feng rose to another level.

He didn't know that Chen Feng's Five Elements Fist was already perfected, but based on Chen Feng's performance just now, Zhao Shanyue could deduce that Chen Feng's skill in fist techniques was already above his own.

I have never received guidance from a master.

He was amazed that Chen Feng had managed to reach such a level of mastery; in his mind, Chen Feng was undoubtedly a genius.

The only difference between the two now lies in their skill level and practical experience.

If they were at the same level, Zhao Shanyue really wasn't confident he could defeat Chen Feng.

They could only suppress the enemy briefly by relying on their practical experience and combat awareness.

But given Chen Feng's current rate of progress, this weakness should be overcome soon.

Ultimately, Zhao Shanyue's admiration manifested entirely in his advice to Chen Feng:

"There's no harm in listening and learning more."

Chen Feng nodded slightly, then posed his question: "Master rarely comes to the martial arts school, so how can I ask him for guidance?"

Perhaps because Zhou Bingzhong was not often at the martial arts school, ordinary disciples could only ask the instructors or senior brothers, and had no opportunity to contact the school master.

This caused Chen Feng to subconsciously overlook the master's authoritative position in guiding his disciples.

In fact, the biggest advantage of being a direct disciple is that you are qualified to receive training guidance from Zhou Bingzhong, the strongest martial arts master in Pingcheng.

Zhao Shanyue smiled after hearing this: "You've been to Master's house before, so if you have any questions, just go and ask. There's no need to be so reserved."

Chen Feng's lips twitched. He had always thought that his master kept family matters and work matters separate.

He had only been to his master's house once, which was the time he became an apprentice. Apart from that, he had only seen his master at the martial arts school.

However, it was just a casual chat, more like a conversation between elders and juniors than a mentor-apprentice relationship of guidance.

Perhaps in Zhou Bingzhong's eyes.

With Chen Feng's comprehension, there's absolutely no need to worry about him not being able to learn the Five Elements Fist Technique.

"How does Master usually instruct you, Senior Brother?" Chen Feng asked.

"It's a question-and-answer session, or a live demonstration. As long as you ask a question, no matter how big or small, the master will answer it carefully. You can rest assured."

Zhao Shanyue continued:

"Sometimes when I go to see my master, he will say that I am intelligent and perceptive, and that I am the least troublesome among us."

"But I have to tell you something: if you have any questions, you must speak up and ask your master for help. Don't always try to figure it out on your own, because sometimes you'll get stuck in a dead end."

Chen Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to indicate that he understood.

From the time he became an apprentice until now, he has relied on the system to allocate skill points and level up on his own.

They see their mentor as a safety net, and pull him out to act as a shield when it matters most.

Thinking about how much experience he had missed these past few days, Chen Feng felt a pang of heartache.

Zhao Shanyue added another point:

"In addition to teaching, Master would also share some interesting anecdotes or martial arts knowledge that we could use in the future."

"For example, the concept of 'flow' is related to the path of a master, which is exactly what my master told me."

Chen Feng: "..."

Senior brother, please stop talking.

The more I talk, the more my heart aches.

Chen Feng made up his mind: starting today, he would frantically fleece his master and make up for everything he had missed in the past.

After saying goodbye to Senior Brother Zhao, Chen Feng returned to his own courtyard.

After wiping the sweat off his body, Chen Feng changed into a set of dry clothes and sat on the bed.

"system."

With a thought, the panel screen slowly unfolded in front of Chen Feng.

Name: Chen Feng

[Experience]: 6357

[Techniques]: Five Elements Fist Technique (Perfected), Tai Chi Profound Origin Technique (Perfected), Mountain-Splitting Palm Technique (Perfected), Grass-Walking Technique (Perfected)... (Expand)

Most of these experiences came from his diligent guidance of his disciples and from the results of his daily boxing practice.

The system also gave some rewards after assassinating the enemy.

But none of them are as fast as today's boxing match.

Following the ellipsis are several medical books that are not fully described, as well as some miscellaneous skills.

Since medical theories did not significantly improve Chen Feng's combat power, he only added enough points to make it sufficient.

They do not strive for perfection.

I'm going to accumulate some experience so that I can max out my skills as soon as I acquire new martial arts techniques.

Looking at the numbers on the panel.

Chen Feng felt that it wouldn't look good if the experience points weren't a whole number, so he simply spent all the odd amounts.

Add it to miscellaneous books.

With a casual gesture, I selected "Music Theory".

[Experience]: 6000

Chen Feng: "Not bad, this looks much better."

As the numbers on the panel changed, some music theory came to mind.

Suddenly I felt more elegant.

From now on, when he listens to music in brothels, he will no longer have to worry about not understanding the young ladies' piano playing.

Perhaps they can also provide a professional evaluation.

Wonderful.

......

......

At dusk, the setting sun painted the sky a warm orange hue, and Chen Feng went to the market to buy some beef.

The beef was wrapped tightly in lotus leaves, and the thin hemp rope on top was tied carefully.

This is no ordinary meat.

It is a special blood food specifically for martial artists, and it is a highly nourishing food. Eating more of it can not only strengthen the body, but also increase qi and blood.

The cattle are also raised using special methods, and their adult size is more than twice that of domesticated cattle.

It is exceptionally fierce, comparable to a tiger or leopard.

Correspondingly, the price was very expensive; this one pack alone cost Chen Feng several taels of silver.

Chen Feng had never eaten it before.

It wasn't because they lacked money, but because they were afraid of the hassle and didn't want to cook themselves.

Spend the time you save on other things.

Chen Feng's meals were fixed; he ate whatever the martial arts instructors ate, and he relied entirely on tonic pills to replenish his qi and blood.

Cheng Tingxue gave too much.

He still hasn't finished eating.

He made a special trip today to buy this meat, but he wanted to give it to his master. After all, it would be embarrassing to come empty-handed.

Since other masters wouldn't need the food, I decided to send them meat instead. Eating well is better than anything else.

It wasn't mealtime yet.

Chen Feng figured he could get another free meal at his master's residence.

Following the directions in his memory, Chen Feng carried the beef, walked through several streets, and arrived at the gate of the Zhou residence. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the gate.

Shortly afterward, the gate opened.

The butler opened the door. Upon seeing Chen Feng, the butler's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly in greeting.

"It's the Sixth Young Master!"

After taking the things from Chen Feng, the butler quickly walked inside and led Chen Feng to Zhou Bingzhong.

At this moment, Zhou Bingzhong, dressed in plain clothes, sat on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, with a pot of warm tea on the stone table beside him.

He had been resting with his eyes closed, but the senses of someone in the Opening Realm were incredibly sharp. As soon as the butler opened the door, Zhou Bingzhong knew it was Chen Feng who had come.

As soon as Chen Feng stepped into the courtyard, he called out:

"Master."
