Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chen Mo was taken aback at first.

"Gone? What does that mean?"

Tan Yuan explained, "At Linzhi Peak, when new disciples were initially given Guyuan Pills, they were distributed according to their strength. The highest-ranking disciple received five pills, while the lowest-ranking disciple received only one."

"Later, everyone felt this was unfair, so they agreed to distribute it equally, which was a verbal agreement. However, this year the production of the Qi-Strengthening Pill was insufficient, and some people started to have malicious intentions."

"For example, this time, the Su Academy has reverted to the old allocation method, taking away the Gu Yuan Dan from several martial academies that are ranked lower, under the pretense of adhering to the traditional allocation method, giving more to the Transformation Realm disciples and less to the Dark Realm disciples, or none at all."

Hearing this, Chen Mo understood.

It seems that the three Qi-stabilizing pills that belonged to him must have been stolen by people from the Su Academy.

He nodded calmly.

Seeing his calm expression, as if a large stone had been dropped into a lake without causing a ripple.

Everyone felt that Chen Mo should have accepted the current situation.

After all, the gap between internal strength and external strength is difficult to bridge.

This difference in circumstances is extremely difficult to overcome.

What belongs to me, no one can take away.

However, Chen Mo's next words were like a dragon suddenly bursting forth from beneath the calm surface of a lake.

Everyone looked over, their faces filled with astonishment.

This junior brother...

She's got a temper!

Tan Yuan opened his mouth and said, "You're right. Although that old rule existed in history, it has been abolished. Dean Su just didn't want to openly rob him, so he just made up an excuse."

Li Fengze also said loudly, "Junior Brother, I support you. Those people are just bullying others because Su Academy has a higher status than us on Linzhi Peak. Why don't they go and rob Liaoyuan Academy and Jingshui Academy instead?"

The shy Han Yue nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xiaoyun pondered for a moment before speaking: "The right to distribute the Qi-stabilizing pills of Linzhi Peak rests with Elder Feng. Su Yuan's actions this time must have been approved by Elder Feng. If we want to challenge their actions, perhaps we can do so through Elder Feng."

Tan Yuan nodded in agreement, "Senior Sister is right. We can go directly to Elder Feng, explain the situation, and ask him to uphold justice."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Mo and asked, "Junior Brother Chen, what do you think?"

The others also all looked at Chen Mo.

After a moment, Chen Mo said seriously, "Since the other party is trying to seize the distribution of the Qi-stabilizing Pills based on their strength, shouldn't I also use my strength to take back the Qi-stabilizing Pills that originally belonged to me? I wonder... what martial arts realm is the other party at?"

As soon as he said this, the air within thirty feet of the dining table fell silent.

Tan Yuan paused for a moment, then said, "The new disciple from the Su Academy seems to have broken through to the early stage of the Transformation Realm three months ago."

Li Fengze and Han Yue both had their mouths slightly open.

Both of them were at the peak of the Dark Force realm, and they would usually stay as far away as possible from those in the early stages of the Transformation Force realm.

Have you ever thought of comparing your strength to that of someone who has mastered the Transformation Realm?

To break through to the Transformation Realm, besides needing elixirs regularly, the most important thing is whether one has the right opportunity.

Those who can become disciples of Nine Swords Mountain must all have good aptitude; it's just that everyone has different opportunities.

Take Fangyuan as an example. Among the sixteen disciples, eleven are at the Transformation Realm and five are at the Dark Realm. Some people have worked hard for many years but still cannot break through to the Transformation Realm.

Chen Mo's expression remained calm.

If he were in the early stage of Transformation Realm, with his current strength approaching the peak of Dark Realm, he could put up a fight.

If he were to face Zhao Huayuan again now, he would not be afraid at all.

"Okay, no problem. I'd like to have a spar with them. If open sparring isn't allowed, we can do it secretly. But I'd like to ask you, senior brother, how I can contact them?"

Hearing such spirited words, Tan Yuan felt a surge of fighting spirit ignited within him, inspired by Chen Mo's words. He abruptly stood up and said solemnly:

"Since Junior Brother Chen has such courage, then I will risk my life to accompany you. I will do the work for you and deliver the challenge."

Chen Mo did not refuse and immediately thanked Senior Brother Tan.

Only Jiang Xiaoyun frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Chen, how confident are you?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and replied, "Five points."

Li Fengze and Han Yue immediately showed surprise.

The hidden force and the neutral force are evenly matched.

Is this junior brother just bragging?

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Xiaoyun paused for a moment before saying, "I have a seven-year-old double-leaved purple sunflower. Grind it into powder and take it with the Meridian Protection Pill. It has the effect of clearing blockages in the meridians and can remove the waste accumulated in the meridians over the years, thus improving one's strength in a short period of time."

As she spoke, she handed over a double-leaved purple sunflower.

Chen Mo quickly waved his hand, "I've heard of the Double-Leaf Purple Sunflower, it's very expensive, let alone a seven-year-old one, this is too precious."

It wasn't that he was deliberately being coy, but the seven-year-old double-leaf purple sunflower was worth no less than fifty taels, which was equivalent to two whole months' salary for him.

Jiang Xiaoyun revealed a determined look, "The true purpose of herbs is not to sell them for money, but to give them to those who truly need them. Right now, you need them more than anyone else. Consider this a loan to you, and you can repay me with something of equal value later."

Li Fengze, who was standing nearby, also advised, "Junior Brother Chen, just take it. We've all received kindness from Senior Sister Jiang, so there's no need for you to feel embarrassed."

Chen Mo nodded, took the Purple Sunflower with both hands, and said seriously:

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

Tan Yuan urged, "Alright, alright, go prepare for the next sparring session. Leave the rest to me."

Tan Yuan patted his chest, then patted Chen Mo's shoulder. The latter responded and left the dining hall, walking back to the old mine under the cover of night.

That night.

Chen Mo dug out more than a dozen Tokachi stones that were half-buried in the mine pit, then sat in the room, motionless, with fire in his palm, roasting the Tokachi stones.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

By midnight, five pieces of Ten Victory Stone blanks had been refined, and Tai Chen Yinghuo Chapter's comprehension had also increased to level two.

Therefore, Chen Mo calmed his mind and silently read the first sentence of the cultivation technique dozens of times, and the hazy feeling in his mind seemed to have thinned a bit.

At this moment, my mind was filled with the words "fire" and "meridians".

"I still don't quite understand, but it's a little clearer than before. If this continues, I should have some progress within a few days."

He muttered to himself, stretched his arms a few times, then practiced the Luo Yan Step and Iron Light Skill a few times before drifting off to sleep.

……

The next two days.

Chen Mo lived a simple life, going between the mine and the canteen.

Fang Liang didn't appear often, except for one time when he inquired about the Gu Yuan Dan and learned that Chen Mo was preparing to spar with the new disciple of Su Yuan.

He didn't say anything, but as he left, a faint smile appeared on his face.

On the evening of the third day, while Chen Mo was having dinner with Jiang Xiaoyun, Li Fengze, and Han Yue, Tan Yuan barged in.

The group stopped eating and looked over.

Tan Yuan said solemnly, "Cao Tai, a new disciple of the Su Academy this year, has accepted the challenge. Five days later at the Linzhi Peak Martial Arts Arena, the outcome will be decided in one match, regardless of weapons."
