Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Although he had suspected it, Chen Feng was still shocked—

Yao Xingzhi is far too young.

He is definitely no more than thirty years old.

Chen Feng couldn't understand how Senior Brother Yao, who didn't have a system, could cultivate so quickly.

Although Chen Feng hadn't met many of the Qi Condensation Realm cultivators in Pingcheng, he had heard of them all, and they were all much older than Yao Xingzhi.

For example, the owner of Pingxin Martial Arts School looks to be at least fifty or sixty years old.

Among their peers, such as Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Lu, they are still slowly tempering their internal organs in the Tempering Organs Realm. Once they have completed the Tempering Organs Realm, it will be even more difficult to take that step and break through to the Qi Condensation Realm.

Based on this calculation, it's unclear how far they are from reaching the Qi Condensation Realm.

No wonder Zhou Bingzhong didn't care that Chen Feng broke through so quickly; it's probably because his second senior brother had tried to sabotage him beforehand.

"Senior brother, I'd like to have a friendly spar with you."

Chen Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute and extended an invitation to a contest.

"I have fought with my third and fourth senior brothers, but I have never asked my second senior brother for advice."

Chen Feng now possesses numerous skills and abilities.

Although he has not yet reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, Chen Feng is confident that he will be virtually invincible within the Qi Refining Realm, thanks to his outstanding combat awareness and extremely high proficiency in martial arts.

This can be seen from his boxing matches with his other senior brothers—his third and fourth senior brothers were gradually falling behind his pace.

From the very beginning when they were training Chen Feng, to Chen Feng handling the moves with ease and even going easy on them, the two senior brothers were amazed by Chen Feng's rapid progress.

From shock to desensitization, and finally, helplessly, Chen Feng completely overtook her.

Chen Feng had long harbored the idea of ​​sparring with his second senior brother, wanting to put pressure on himself.

Upon hearing the suggestion, Yao Xingzhi didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."

On the contrary, Zhou Bingzhong repeatedly confirmed with Chen Feng, "Have you thought it through?"

Seeing that his master seemed reluctant to discourage him, Chen Feng's curiosity was piqued even more, and he nodded solemnly.

"I have thought it through."

He wanted to test the gap between himself and the Qi Condensation Realm so that he could devise a countermeasure if he encountered such a powerful enemy in the future.

Just how wide this watershed is, you'll have to try to find out.

"Alright, then take off the jade pendant first, so as not to disturb your mind." Zhou Bingzhong said no more.

Chen Feng reluctantly took off the jade pendant, and the incessant echo of "Experience +1" in his ears finally stopped.

Chen Feng circled off a space in the courtyard of the Zhou residence, then stood to one side and clasped his hands in a salute.

"Senior brother, please."

......

......

Chen Feng walked out of the Zhou residence absentmindedly, heading back towards the martial arts school. He was still completely dazed.

Three sticks.

Just three blows.

After taking three blows from his senior brother, Chen Feng gave up the idea of ​​sparring.

With his first strike, Yao Xingzhi forcefully interrupted Chen Feng's attack using pure brute force.

The second strike, that seemingly light wooden stick, easily shattered Chen Feng's horizontal punch defense;

On his third strike, Chen Feng seized the opportunity and used his Shattering Mountain Force to shatter his senior brother's wooden stick.

However......

The second senior brother condensed his qi and transformed it into form. The clusters of true qi swirled around his body, easily neutralizing Chen Feng's attacks and preventing him from dealing a "huge" amount of damage with a burst of attacks.

Not only that.

Yao Xingzhi's true energy also flowed into Chen Feng's meridians, counteracting the Xuan Yuan Jin and Sui Yue Jin within his body, causing his energy circulation to be sluggish and most of his strength to be sealed away.

How can we fight like this?

Chen Feng stopped fighting.

Continuing to fight would only bring shame upon ourselves.

Master said that the wonders of true qi are far more than what my senior brother has shown; there are many more intricacies involved that he will only be able to understand once he reaches the Qi Condensation Realm.

"Does this mean I really have no way to fight across borders? Am I just supposed to run away whenever I encounter a strong enemy? That would be so frustrating."

As Chen Feng walked, he muttered to himself, pondering how he could cross the chasm between realms.

The memory of being chased by "Iron Butcher" resurfaced in his mind. At that time, he was only at the Blood Refining Realm, and even a Bone Forging Realm cultivator could force him to run away in a sorry state.

Fortunately, he had the support of Tai Chi Xuan Yuan Gong at the time, which enabled him to run at full speed for an extended period.

"Mysterious Origin Force, Mountain-Shattering Force... perhaps we can start from this angle. If we can't master true qi before condensing qi, then we can use similar forces as our trump card."

He still clearly remembered the surprise that flashed in the eyes of his senior brother and master when he broke his senior brother's wooden stick with the Shattering Mountain Force during the fight.

This was the only effective attack Chen Feng launched during their sparring session, which his master and senior brother dismissed as a mere coincidence.

But Chen Feng himself understood that this was a huge advantage of the system integrating cultivation techniques—

Internal strength.

"The Shattering Mountain Force can indeed penetrate the enemy's meridians and cause internal damage, just like my senior brother's true energy, but... can it also circulate around the body to negate the damage?"

The night was as dark as ink, and the evening breeze carried withered leaves through the quiet alley.

As Chen Feng pondered, he walked towards the martial arts school, constantly condensing the power of "Shattering Mountain" in his hands, but none of it could leave his body more than three inches away. Once it exceeded that range, it would immediately dissipate.

But why can my senior brother's true energy not only protect his body and reduce injuries, but also injure enemies from a distance?

Chen Feng, who hadn't even reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, couldn't fathom its mysteries at all.

Just as Chen Feng was pondering.

The system popped up a special notification:

[Ambushed...]

[Experience +200]

However, the message was brief and was quickly overshadowed by the [Experience +1] points generated by the jade pendant at his waist.

Chen Feng was completely unaware.

He had already turned off the system's audio because he found the clinking of the experience points too noisy.

Chen Feng walked into the alley by himself. This was the shortest route back to the martial arts school, and also the route Chen Feng took most often.

Sudden.

A very faint sound of clothes rustling in the wind came from deep within the alley, as soft as a kitten walking.

If you're not paying close attention, you won't notice a thing.

But Chen Feng still managed to capture it accurately.

He felt a chill run down his spine, his steps abruptly halting, and his aura instantly receded, becoming as withered as a dead tree.

Almost simultaneously, two dark figures swooped down from the eaves on both sides, their movements as fast as shooting stars, their palms carrying fierce internal energy, aiming straight for his vital points!

"Internal Refinement Realm!"

Chen Feng's eyes turned cold.

The moment the two made their move, their auras were instantly exposed, leaving them nowhere to hide from Chen Feng's perception. However, at this moment, the two were already extremely close to Chen Feng.

For the tempering of the internal organs.

It arrived in the blink of an eye.

The opponent had clearly planned this for a long time, and his attack was a killing blow. His palm strike created a sharp gust of wind as it slammed towards Chen Feng's head.

Facing a pincer attack.

Chen Feng stomped his right foot hard on the bluestone slab, and the ground cracked open with a sound. His figure flashed horizontally several feet like an arrow released from a bow.

Chen Feng assumed a fighting stance, his gaze icy.

"Heh, I just got beaten up, so I'm really angry..."

……

……

The battle ended quickly; Chen Feng didn't even need to use his Shattering Mountain Force to deal with the two.

With just the combat skills taught by his fourth senior brother, he is not someone that just anyone of the same level can easily take advantage of.

Not to mention the perfect Five Elements Fist.

If he still can't easily end the battle like this, he might as well just smash his head against a block of tofu and die.

"How dare you two little karami come to kill me?" Chen Feng sneered.

He stepped forward, grabbed the hair of an assassin leaning against a wall, coughing up blood, twisted it, and demanded, "Who sent you?"

The assassin's eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily, making a "hoarse" sound like an old bellows.

"Not going to tell?"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, released his grip, and the assassin fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Feng strolled to the other side and dragged over the other person who was lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

A long trail of blood was left on the ground, and the blood looked pitch black in the night.

Since the man had a buzz cut and his hair was difficult to grab, Chen Feng grabbed his feet and gave him a hard shake.

It slammed against the wall with a "thud".

He threw it next to the long-haired assassin.

The unconscious man with the buzz cut was jolted awake by the pain and looked at Chen Feng with a terrified expression.

"Who sent you? This is the last time. Say it before you leave alive."

Chen Feng's face hardened.
