Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

"That woman, that woman is for you, sir."

Zhao Liuye pointed in the direction of the carriage, "The daughter of the Li family, the apple of their eye, is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is nineteen years old and is still a virgin."

Chen Han's fist clenched unconsciously, but he quickly regained his composure after realizing it was inappropriate.

"Did you kidnap this girl?"

Zhao Liuye bowed deeply, her face full of flattery, "Your Excellency can rest assured, this woman was personally betrothed to me by her father, Master Li, to be my concubine. To put it bluntly, he sold her to me."

"This old man is ruthless. In order to cooperate with my family, he even abandoned his daughter. Regardless of whether she wanted to or not, he drugged her and sent her over. So, naturally, I am happy to accept her."

Upon hearing this, anger surged in Chen Han's eyes. He never imagined that Li Muyun had been betrayed by that old bastard, Master Li.

Li Muyun had provided him with tremendous help. If it weren't for her, he might have been killed by Hou Chunxun long ago, and he wouldn't be where he is now.

Now, seeing Li Muyun, who indirectly saved his life, being treated like this, he naturally felt terrible.

Having experienced so much and killed so many people, he admitted that he was indeed ruthless by nature and would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, but he was not a cold-hearted person.

"Very good, but...not enough."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liuye became so anxious that she broke out in a sweat. Her eyes darted around, and she finally went to the carriage and took out an old book from it.

He lowered his head and carefully handed it to Chen Han.

"Sir, this is a second-rate martial arts manual that I promised to give to Master Li. It is unique in Black Lion City and is the main reason why Master Li spent so much money."

Second-rate martial arts!

Chen Han's heart trembled. In this chaotic world, people are divided into different classes, and martial arts are also divided into different levels.

The Chen Family Mountain-Breaking Fist is a third-rate martial art. Although powerful, it can only allow practitioners to reach the level of a martial arts master at most, and there will be unavoidable hidden injuries along the way.

Those who practice this method may become physically weak and suffer from kidney failure as they age, becoming afflicted with numerous illnesses and dying earlier than ordinary people.

This is the biggest unavoidable flaw of third-rate martial arts.

The difference between second-rate and third-rate martial arts is not significant. The biggest difference is that the practitioner remains strong and healthy in old age, without any hidden ailments, and lives longer than the average person.

Furthermore, as for first-rate skills and unique techniques, these are beyond Chen Han's current access and understanding.

Despite its significant flaws, this third-rate martial art is an unattainable art for ordinary people. Most families cannot access it and can only learn other low-level martial arts unless they are exceptionally talented.

Chen Han took the book, on which were written several large characters in a flamboyant style: "Ben Lei Ji" (meaning "Thunderous Strike")!

After flipping through two pages and confirming there were no problems, Chen Han said, "Not bad, I'm very satisfied with this martial art. You can leave now..."

Watching the two disappear completely at the end of the street, Chen Han came to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw the beautiful and delicate Li Muyun lying quietly. Her skin was like cream, she was tall and gorgeous, and her long legs had to be turned sideways to fit inside the carriage.

Her clothes were in disarray at the chest, revealing most of her cleavage.

Without hesitation, Chen Han braced himself against his knees with one hand and hugged his back with the other, quickly leaving the place.

Before long, he quietly returned to the Chen residence.

The Chen residence was large, and as a martial artist, he naturally had his own separate residence. After settling Li Muyun in properly, Chen Han simply washed up and changed out of his wedding dress, which was stained with blood.

Then, he lay down on the bed, hugged Li Muyun, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li Muyun woke up to find himself in an unfamiliar environment. He was terrified and patted his body thoroughly to make sure he hadn't been harmed by any villains before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Recalling the last moment of her memory, she remembered that she was taking a walk in the yard after dinner when, for some reason, her head suddenly became dizzy. She had a bad feeling and tried to find her only trusted younger brother, but it was too late.

Everything went black, and when I opened my eyes again, I was here.

Then, she looked around. It was an extremely simple room, not big, but very comfortable.

There were several pieces of clothing hanging in the closet, which Li Muyun found somewhat familiar, and the smell was also somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a while, I realized that it seemed to belong to Chen Han.

Then she noticed a piece of paper left on the bedside table with words written on it.

After examining her, Li Muyun felt a wave of fear wash over her. She muttered to herself, "Luckily, luckily I ran into Chen Han, otherwise I would have been finished. But who exactly drugged me..."

Chen Han concealed the despicable things that Master Li had done, intending to tell her about them at a later opportunity.

Of course, he also told Li Muyun in the letter not to leave the house, otherwise it would be very troublesome if he were discovered, both to outsiders and to insiders.

Li Muyun sat back on the bed with ease. She would naturally obey everything Chen Han said, after all, he had saved her life again.

She was grateful and thought she would definitely thank Chen Han properly in the future.

The next day, a shocking story broke in the city, causing an uproar throughout the city.

Overnight, more than fifty members of the Black Mountain Gang were slaughtered by a ruthless man. The scene was so tragic that not even a complete corpse was left, and they were no longer even human!

At this moment, in the training ground of the back courtyard, quite a few people had already begun practicing martial arts. They wore short shirts and shorts, and threw punches, with dull thuds echoing continuously. Their moves were as powerful as dragons leaping and tigers soaring.

Looking at the familiar faces, Chen Han began practicing martial arts on his own.

Boom!

His breathing was steady, his posture as firm as a pine or cypress, and his simple Mountain-Breaking Fist struck the iron stake with a dull sound that drew the attention of all the martial arts students.

"It's Chen Han, he's back."

"Have you heard about what happened last night? I heard he has reached the bottleneck of the Transformation Realm and is only one step away from it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, terrifyingly young. He's only a few years old, yet he's already on par with the patriarch of the family back then."

"Senior Brother Chen Han, I heard that you have already reached the threshold of the Transcendent Realm. I have some problems with my punches. I wonder if I could trouble you to teach me?"

Chen Han's fists flew with the wind, completely ignoring the pretty junior sister who had come to ask for his guidance from who-knows-where, and said softly, "Get lost..."

He was surrounded by a constant stream of praise and affirmation, but Chen Han listened without expression, ignoring it and continuing to practice his punches over and over again.

He had once fallen from grace, greeted only with disappointment and ridicule; now, he stood at the pinnacle among these martial arts apprentices, receiving only praise and awe.

All of this stems from the simple and brutal power of strength.

He had reason to believe that if he were to become weak again, they would still treat him with the same disdain as before.

Therefore, he didn't give these people a friendly look, and was even indifferent.

Heaven rewards diligence; success is inevitable!
