Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

"Master! It's him! It's Pang Hai! It's Pang Hai who's behind this!"

Tang Sinian stared at the extremely smug Pang Hai, his eyes practically bloodshot.

Yesterday, it was Pang Hai who treated him to drinks.

He drank a cup of wine and then lost consciousness. When he woke up this morning, everything had changed.

But Zhuang Chengfeng seemed not to hear him, looking at Pang Hai with doting eyes and beckoning him:

"Pang Hai, come with me!"

After saying that, he turned and headed towards the inner courtyard without any hesitation.

As Pang Hai turned around, his gaze swept over Chu Hong, Xiao Yi, and the instructor.

"These three have likely become suspicious. We must inform the Great One and eliminate them, otherwise they will ultimately become a calamity."

"There's clearly something wrong here!" Chu Hong turned his head and whispered to Senior Brother Xiao.

Senior Brother Xiao nodded solemnly, seemingly lost in thought.

They had all witnessed the situations that Pang Hai and Tang Sinian had encountered yesterday.

But overnight, the situation suddenly reversed, which must have been due to changes they were unaware of.

Chu Hong couldn't help but look at Senior Brother Xiao again:

"Senior Brother Xiao, could it be that your physical constitution...?"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Xiao shook his head slightly:

"One's innate constitution is predetermined; I have never heard of the idea that one's innate constitution can be taken away."

"Moreover, when I had my accident, I was all alone, which is completely different from his situation."

Xiao Yi believed that even if his innate talent had truly been taken away, so what?

He is currently only of inferior talent, lacking both strength and a voice.

Even if the truth is found out, no one will believe it.

Moreover, rashly investigating could put oneself in a dangerous situation.

Therefore, it's best not to investigate for now.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

However, the discussion surrounding this farce has become increasingly heated.

The apprentices went to great lengths to trample on Tang Sinian.

Those who criticized him the most were his former followers.

Tang Sinian's eyes were empty and blank as he slumped to the ground, utterly bewildered.

"How could this happen? Why did this happen?"

Chu Hong looked at him and sighed inwardly.

This person, who suddenly rose to the top, became arrogant and disdainful of others; now that he has suddenly fallen into the mire, he is despondent and utterly dejected.

He never considered that everything he possessed was due to the veil of "superior physical constitution".

It's like a castle in the air, utterly illusory.

Once the veil is removed, their true form will be revealed, and they will be smashed to pieces.

"Only when you have power in your own hands can you feel truly secure."

Although Xiao Yi didn't say a word, his fists became even more ferocious.

He knows the taste of loss, and he understands even more that only by being strong enough can one stand firm and go far.

-----------------

evening.

Seeing Chu Hong practicing his boxing, Senior Brother Xiao became interested and said:

"Junior Brother Chu, can you lend a hand?"

He had witnessed Chu Hong's hard work over the past two days.

He was now completely certain that Chu Hong was indeed different from what he had been a month ago.

Therefore, I also felt a desire to help him.

Chu Hong's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao."

Practicing boxing, especially boxing techniques with extremely high destructive power.

It's not enough to just practice hard on your own and work in isolation.

Without real-world practice, even if you practice to the perfect level, it's just a showy facade.

If a real crisis were to occur, they might not even have time to react.

Then his head was chopped off.

"Bang bang bang!"

Inside the training ground, the two figures moved in close quarters, their fists, palms, and claws striking in rapid succession, creating a perilous situation.

After a long while, Chu Hong was no match for him and was grabbed by the throat by Senior Brother Xiao, unable to move.

He was panting heavily, covered in sweat.

"Brother Xiao's boxing skills are truly exquisite."

In the sparring session just now, Chu Hong was completely suppressed, and every time he saw a glimmer of hope...

But in the blink of an eye, it was broken by Senior Brother Xiao's move.

It was extremely frustrating.

But looking at the proficiency level jumping on the panel, he felt it was all worth it.

[Nine-Forging Fist Proficiency +2]

In just one real sparring session, his boxing proficiency increased by two points.

It's equivalent to the effect of him practicing alone several times.

"I must get more real-world experience in the future," Chu Hong thought to himself.

Senior Brother Xiao withdrew his hand and helped Chu Hong up:

"Junior Brother Chu, there's no need to belittle yourself. I've only had a few months more experience with boxing than you, so I have a slight advantage."

He looked at Chu Hong with great satisfaction and continued:

"As for Junior Brother Chu, your fist technique has improved really quickly."

"One day of training is equivalent to a month of hard work for others."

Chu Hong's progress in boxing skills truly exceeded his expectations.

Look at the other new apprentices; after a day, they've barely scratched the surface.

As for Chu Hong, in just one day, he was already able to fight him to a standstill.

Although he did release Hai, Chu Hong's understanding of the moves and his grasp of the timing of his attacks were by no means inferior.

"It's all thanks to Senior Brother Xiao's guidance." Chu Hong cupped his hands in gratitude.

The two then practiced standing meditation to accumulate qi and blood until it was almost midnight before returning to their dormitory.

As soon as I arrived at the dormitory, I saw a group of nosy students surrounding it, chattering and making a ruckus.

After the two of them finally squeezed in, Chu Hong frowned slightly.

A bullying incident is taking place in the dormitory.

Tang Sinian lay on the ground, curled up, trembling.

Pang Hai stomped on his face, grinding his boot back and forth, displaying utter arrogance.

"How arrogant! Weren't you so haughty?"

Pang Hai said fiercely, "Where did your arrogance go?"

His gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes filled with violence and arrogance.

It turns out that the arrogance that belonged to Tang Sinian had been completely transferred to him.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

A loud shout came from outside; Senior Brother Li from the inner courtyard had arrived.

"Junior Brother Pang, Master is calling for you."

He then turned to the apprentices who were watching and scolded them:

"What are you all still doing here? Disperse!"

Pang Hai snorted coldly, stomped his foot a few more times, and then withdrew it.

"Consider yourself lucky."

He glanced at Chu Hong and Xiao Yi indifferently, without any emotion, and then turned and left.

The apprentices scattered in a panic.

Tang Sinian was in tears, feeling extremely humiliated.

Chu Hong stepped forward, helped Tang Sinian up, and sighed.

Tang Sinian, however, gripped Chu Hong's arm tightly as if it were a lifeline:

"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Chu, you must believe me, I really do have superior aptitude."

"It was Pang Hai! Pang Hai ruined me! He stole my lifeblood!"

He then scrambled toward Xiao Yi as if possessed:

"Senior Brother Xiao, do you know? We've all been tricked."

"It was Pang Hai who stole our lifeblood..."

Seeing this, Chu Hong also felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Even if some people believe what he says, so what?

He is now of inferior aptitude, and the master of the academy, Zhuang Chengfeng, has already given up on him.

Could it be that his physical bones can be restored?

Just like Senior Brother Xiao.

If something has no value, Zhuang Chengfeng lets go of it faster than turning the pages of a book.

"Sigh, this guy's just ruined."

Chu Hong thought to himself, if Tang Sinian could be like Senior Brother Xiao, who came out on his own, regrouped, and diligently practiced martial arts.

There might be another opportunity to break through to the Mingjin level in the future.

If he can't get out of this situation, he'll be ruined.

Chu Hong didn't think about it anymore; Tang Sinian's matter had nothing to do with him.

His gaze fell on the panel.

Heaven rewards diligence.

[Effect: Reflecting on all methods, diligent study and practice will surely yield results!]

[No bottlenecks, no limitations, advance to the next level as soon as you reach the maximum proficiency level!]

【Hun Yuan Zhuang (Beginner)】

[Proficiency: 11/500]

【Nine-Forging Fist (Beginner)】

[Proficiency: 10/500]

"At this rate, it will probably take me three months to break through to the Ming Jin stage."

If it takes too long, things might change.

The Iron Fist Gang isn't one to give up easily.

We must make our strength clear as soon as possible, so that they will have something to fear.

This is the only way to ensure the safety of your home.

Chu Hong immediately made up his mind to dedicate more time to practicing the Hunyuan Stance and accumulate Qi and blood.

As for the Nine-Forged Fist, he mainly relied on practicing with Senior Brother Xiao and other fellow disciples to increase his proficiency.

With this primary and secondary approach, the speed at which qi and blood are accumulated and the body's energy is developed will be greatly increased.

And the tactics will not be left behind.

Their strength will grow exceptionally rapidly.

He estimated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances...

In less than two months, he will be able to pass the Ming Jin level.
