Martial arts immortality begins with upgrading buildings.

In the afternoon, Chen Qing left the boxing club early and returned to his residence at the dock.

Zhao Hai had informed him that morning that Xie Wuji had arranged for an Inner Strength Hall Master to come and guide him in combat at Shenshi (3-5 PM) today.

It is said that this hall master is the most skilled internal energy martial artist in the entire Tongfu Gang, apart from the deputy leader.

She also told him mysteriously that there would be a surprise.

So he returned to the mansion early, practicing his boxing while waiting for the hall master to arrive.

A short while later, a knock was heard at the door.

Chen Qing stopped what she was doing and went to open the door.

The courtyard gate opened, and a woman with a cold expression stood at the door.

She was around twenty years old, tall, and had a head of black hair tied in a ponytail that hung down her back.

His face was pale and cold, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and refined, his nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.

A black outfit covered her slender yet strong figure, with a belt around her waist cinching her lean waist.

He held a long sword in his arms, exuding a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.

"I am Bai Yuan. The guild leader sent me to guide you. I will come here every day at this time."

Bai Yuan said in an icy tone.

"Thank you, Master Bai."

Chen Qing bowed and thanked Bai Yuan, then invited her into the courtyard.

"The best way to improve your fighting experience is to fight more. From now on, you will fight me every day, and I will keep my strength at the same level as yours."

Bai Yuan stood in the courtyard, holding her long sword without moving, and said coldly, "Begin. Use every means to kill me."

Without further ado, Chen Qing rushed towards Bai Yuan and launched a "Mountain-Splitting" attack straight at her chest.

Bai Yuan slightly turned her body, narrowly avoiding Chen Qing's fist.

In the instant the two crossed paths, Bai Yuan's hand, sharp as a knife, gently landed on Chen Qing's neck.

"If I exert my full strength, you'll be dead with this one blow!"

Bai Yuan said expressionlessly, "Again!"

Chen Qing was shocked; the two seemed to be moving at roughly the same speed.

Why was Bai Yuan able to dodge so easily?

Somewhat skeptical, he suddenly shouted behind Bai Yuan, "Guild Leader?"

At the same time, he lunged forward, bent his right arm into an elbow, pulled his palm behind his ear, and unleashed a "Stone-Shattering" move that struck Bai Yuan's head directly.

Bai Yuan was not fooled by his words at all. She tilted her head slightly and struck Chen Qing's chest with her palm.

Chen Qing's elbow missed its mark, but the opponent's palm had already pressed down on him, and a tremendous force sent him staggering back several steps.

"Your little tricks are completely ineffective against a martial arts master with extensive experience in the martial arts world."

Bai Yuan remained expressionless, her tone devoid of any sarcasm. She simply commented, "A fledgling with no fighting experience whatsoever. If you were to exchange punches with someone, you would surely die."

Chen Qing was somewhat unconvinced.

How could someone who killed a martial arts master become a fledgling?

He stepped forward again, unleashing the Wuji Fist to its fullest extent. Apart from his unused talent, he had used all his strength, attacking Bai Yuan's vital points with every move.

However, after dozens of moves, he still couldn't even touch the hem of Bai Yuan's clothes.

As if she knew where his attack would land, Bai Yuan dodged the moment he launched it.

"Fighting isn't about blindly attacking; it's about observing your opponent's movements!"

"My skill level and speed are identical to yours, so how am I able to dodge your attacks?"

"Because I'm observing you, judging your attack from the subtle movements of your body!"

"I already knew you were going to throw a punch before you even threw one."

"In a battle between equals, whoever observes more meticulously will win!"

Bai Yuan explained while dodging.

Chen Qing suddenly realized.

Every time he wants to attack a certain part of the body, he stares at that part of the body. He is afraid that before he can make a move, the other party will see through him. How can he hit the other party in this way?

So he immediately changed his strategy, looking at his opponent's chest but attacking his opponent's lower body. Although he was aiming at his opponent's thigh, he punched him in the head.

Although Bai Yuan still easily dodged them, it was clear that she was no longer as carefree as before.

"Don't be too rigid in your attacks; learn to use feints appropriately to mask your true offensive."

"A mix of truth and falsehood, making it difficult for your opponent to discern your true intentions."

As Bai Yuan spoke, she moved her shoulder with a large motion, and Chen Qing subconsciously thought that she was about to punch him in the head.

However, she suddenly raised her leg and kicked Chen Qing in the stomach, sending him flying several meters.

"Stand up and keep going!"

Bai Yuan's voice was icy, giving Chen Qing no time to rest.

Chen Qing had no choice but to stand up and rush forward again.

The two figures clashed repeatedly in the courtyard. Although Chen Qing was completely overwhelmed, he became more and more excited as the fight progressed.

Not only did his combat skills improve with each fight, but his experience with Wuji Fist and Wind God Leg also increased much faster than it had in the martial arts club.

That's the benefit of sparring with a master.

An hour later, Chen Qing was kicked away again.

But he acted as if nothing had happened, getting up to continue.

"That's enough for today."

Bai Yuan suddenly spoke, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes as she looked at Chen Qing.

For a full hour, the boy continued his attack without stopping for a moment.

Such endurance is something that a novice external martial arts master simply cannot achieve.

Moreover, it wasn't just his endurance; his strength and speed were actually no less than those of the deacons under her command.

It should be noted that her subordinates had been practicing external martial arts for half a year.

It's easy to imagine how extraordinary this young man is.

What alarmed her even more was Chen Qing's learning ability.

At first, she felt that Chen Qing was just a fledgling with no combat experience.

Just now, Chen Qing was already no less skilled than a martial artist who had experienced more than a dozen battles.

Such a person is simply born to fight!

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Bai. It's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner?"

Chen Qing said politely.

"Alright."

Bai Yuan nodded.

Because she had too many enemies, she never ate out, and her family didn't have a chef, so she always cooked for herself and made do with a simple meal.

Now that someone has invited her, she naturally won't refuse.

Chen Qing's identity is definitely not a problem since he was able to join the Tongfu Gang, so there's no need to worry.

"I'll practice my kung fu in the yard for a while. Call me when you're done."

Bai Yuan gave a brief instruction and then began practicing her skills on her own.

"You're in for a treat today."

Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh, glancing at the new career panel that had appeared yesterday.

【Occupation: Chef (One-time limit break 0/500)】

[Talent: Timing]

[Heat Control: Precisely controlling the heat of each raw material to maximize its inherent properties]

Every time he cooks, his experience increases a little. Yesterday, he broke through his limit and unexpectedly gained a talent as well.

Moreover, this talent isn't limited to cooking.

It seems that by processing any raw material, its inherent effects can be maximized.
