Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chen Mo stepped onto the testing platform and stood still.

He glanced around and saw that some people in the audience had recognized him and were looking at him with the same fascination of watching a show.

His previous battle with Cao Tai had earned him some fame, and now everyone was curious about what kind of test results this newcomer, who could fight beyond his level, would achieve.

Chen Mo calmly said, "Chen Mo, a disciple of Fang Academy, practices the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter of cultivation."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room displayed a different expression.

The fame of the Tai Chen Ying Huo chapter is known to everyone on Linzhi Peak.

No one has mastered it for decades.

This is the only one.

This alone is enough to demonstrate that this newcomer possesses extraordinary courage...

And he's got a screw loose.

Yan Tan, whose eyes were originally half-closed, shuddered and looked up when she heard the name of this technique.

The young man standing in front of him clearly didn't have anything particularly unique about him.

"Never mind... this person probably won't be surprised either," he thought to himself, then lowered his head slightly.

Below the stage, murmurs arose, mostly mocking the Five Elements Stone's lack of reaction and Chen Mo's likely tearful expression.

A great topic of conversation.

Du Tian simply covered his eyes, not daring to watch the awkward scene that was about to unfold.

Cao Tai from the Suzhou Academy smirked and waited for the next "spectacle".

As for Fang Yuan, everyone frowned deeply, already preparing their thoughts on how to comfort Chen Mo later.

On the stage, Chen Mo and the Five Elements Stone stood facing each other.

He slowly extended his palm, hovering it in mid-air, his eyes slightly closed.

The Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter has begun operation.

The vital energy in the meridians and acupoints throughout the body was dyed fiery red, becoming intensely hot, and began to circulate rapidly.

It was accompanied by the sound of flames roaring.

"Um?!"

Yan Tan suddenly looked up, as if she had noticed something was wrong.

This force is clearly...

As the fiery energy within Chen Mo's body accelerated its circulation, a fiery pattern gradually appeared on his palm.

At a certain moment, a strange flame suddenly rose up, like a crimson lotus, blooming on his palm and illuminating his calm face.

wow...

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

Only the incredibly realistic sound of flames burning emanated from Chen Mo's palm.

The silence lasted for a few moments, then suddenly erupted in gasps of amazement from the audience.

"Wait, wait, wait...!"

"Is this really the Tai Chen and Ying Huo chapter? Am I dreaming?!"

"Flames condense on the palm, releasing energy outwards? Isn't that an ability only experts at the Gang Jin level possess?"

"Just who is this Chen Mo? He's mastered a technique that no one else in the entire Nine Swords Mountain has ever achieved?"

"Let's wait and see. Perhaps it's just some kind of smokescreen, and the Five Elements Stone hasn't revealed any results yet."

Chen Mo remained calm, ignoring the murmurs from the audience.

Centered on him, the umbrella-sized flame had reached an extremely intense heat, and waves of heat swept outwards, making everyone feel unbearably hot.

A moment later, he gently flipped his palm and slammed his long, slender fingers onto the Five Elements Stone.

Phew——!

A fiery shriek shattered the sky.

The Five Elements Stone instantly turned a rosy red, becoming translucent and bright, as if flames were burning and leaping on its surface.

This astonishing scene lasted for a full twenty breaths before slowly fading away, and the Five Elements Stone finally returned to its original state.

Upon seeing this, Yan Tan immediately stood up from the sandalwood chair, her gaze fixed on the flames gradually dissipating on the Five Elements Stone.

"Flames burning stones... It's been so long since we've seen such a sight in a cultivation technique test..."

he murmured.

Amidst the anticipation of the crowd below, Yan Tan paused for a moment before announcing Chen Mo's test results:

"Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter, Part A, Section 1"

"Huh?! Armor?!"

Someone exclaimed.

At the same time, several female disciples cast eager glances at Chen Mo on the stage, their eyes revealing a hint of admiration.

On Fang Yuan's side, Fang Liang's face shone brightly, unable to hide his joy.

Jiang Xiaoyun and Tan Yuan, who were standing to the side, were so surprised that they couldn't speak.

Li Fengze and Han Yue's expressions turned slightly serious. As their senior brothers and sisters, Chen Mo, their junior brother, had put a lot of pressure on them.

As for Xu Yan, she appeared rather calm, greatly admiring her own eye for "investment" and inwardly praising herself.

On the side of the new disciples taking the cultivation test, Du Tian's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time. The words he had said to Chen Mo earlier were still echoing in his ears. At this moment, his face was burning, and he was thinking about how to speak to Chen Mo when he saw him later.

Ren Yao and Zhi Que, who were originally the focus of attention as new disciples, now had much less radiance on them, and their faces showed resentment.

"Thank you, Elder!"

Chen Mo bowed to Yan Tan, who nodded slightly.

Then, Chen Mo calmly walked off the stage.

He knew that the reason why the strict Yan Tan rated it as top-tier was not only because the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter was powerful, but also because of the "legendary" bonus of this technique.

In this test, he used almost 80% of his strength in order to gain the upper hand in the brutal battle for resources.

Only by demonstrating strength and potential can we exchange them for more resources.

Thinking of this, he had already walked to Du Tian's side.

Du Tian tried to open his mouth several times, but swallowed his words each time.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "How should I put it... it's just too damn shocking! How did you do that, Chen Mo?!"

Chen Mo turned around and looked at him quietly. After a moment, she said, "Just practice step by step. Isn't the training method written in the martial arts manual?"

Du Tian almost thought he had misheard. "Practice step by step? Those elders of Nine Swords Mountain have been practicing to the point of death for decades, and not one of them has succeeded. You, on the other hand, have succeeded by practicing step by step?"

Hearing this string of words, Chen Mo thought he was going to continue questioning him, but to his surprise, the other person said, "You really are a genius! I was blind before, not recognizing a genius's true face. From now on, I'm going to follow you!"

"Join me?"

"That's right! I excel at intelligence gathering and have excellent connections, while you excel at martial arts. What's that saying again... it's about turning the impossible into the possible! If we work together, we'll definitely become the strongest duo among the younger generation!"

Chen Mo could only nod.

Du Tian straightened up and said, "But to be honest, I do have some news that concerns all of us."

"What news?"

"After this skill test, those who rank high will be able to carry out a mission."

"Where are we going? What's the mission?"

Du Tian thought for a moment, "I don't know the specific details, but it seems to be related to something called Wind and Thunder Valley..."

"Wind and Thunder Valley..."

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

While the two were talking, the remaining people had all completed their skill tests.

In the end, only Chen Mo was on the team.

There was no one in A.

There were four people under A.

There are seventeen people in Class B.

Yan Tan stood up, his gaze sweeping over the entire room, and said in a thunderous voice, "All those who achieved a grade of B or above, follow me to the third floor of Chengyun Pavilion."
