Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

The boxing gym in the morning.

Many young and strong figures were practicing stance training, boxing, moves, and sparring in the open space of the outer courtyard.

The scene was very lively.

Shi Wen glanced at it, slightly surprised.

Normally, it gets crowded around nine o'clock, but it's only a few o'clock now?

And the appearance of stone temperature.

This also caused a complex expression to appear on the faces and eyes of the outer disciples present.

Shi Wen was just one of the inconspicuous outer disciples of the boxing academy.

He came from a poor family and his conditions were much worse than many others. The only things that caught people's attention were his good looks and his diligent practice of martial arts every day.

He was already practicing his skills on the outer courtyard before many others had arrived in the morning.

He was practicing his kung fu while others were having lunch and resting, and he was still practicing after everyone else had left!

Diligence will earn you recognition.

But their excessive diligence made them seem out of place.

In addition, Zhou Heling, an inner court disciple, disliked this person, so naturally, the outer court members ridiculed and mocked him.

It's just that Shi Wen is too quiet.

Aside from practicing martial arts, he only practices martial arts and never gets into conflicts with outsiders.

Until yesterday...

The sight of the opponent breaking the arm of Zhou Heling, an inner courtyard disciple, with a single palm strike was a visual shock to everyone.

That's when they found out.

It turns out that the other party had unknowingly refined a wisp of blood energy, gaining the qualifications to become a Blood Tempering Martial Artist, making them worlds apart from them!

This is the result.

How can we avoid causing the outer disciples to feel conflicted or agitated?

"Senior Brother Shi is here?"

"Hello, Senior Brother Shi..."

Many outer court disciples proactively showed smiles and friendly expressions.

Shi Wen ignored him.

His indifferent eyes swept over everyone in the outer courtyard.

But most of those people didn't seem to be acting strangely, so he withdrew his gaze and walked straight into the inner courtyard.

The problem is not visible in the outer courtyard.

We'll settle accounts with Wei Shan later when he arrives.

His indifference made the outer disciples who had taken the initiative to make friends feel extremely awkward, standing there with their faces burning.

A hint of resentment also arose in his heart.

Although you have forced your way into the Blood Tempering stage, you did not nourish your body properly during the tempering phase, resulting in a deficiency in your body. How much can you achieve in the future?

At best, I'll just be a Blood Tempering Warrior!

Do you think you're a genius like Senior Brother Qin Heng, who entered the Blood Tempering stage based on your own true strength?

Such sentiments resonated in the hearts of many.

However, no one dared to say it out loud, after all, Blood Tempering Warriors were ultimately inner court disciples, and in the Boxing Academy, inner court disciples were the highest authority.

Who would dare to speak ill of the inner court disciples? Who knows if someone might secretly go and inform on them?

There were few people in the inner courtyard.

Under the shade of the tree, Li Qianqian was already practicing Zhan Zhuang Gong (standing meditation), her breathing rhythm different from that of ordinary people.

It's obvious that the other person is practicing breathing techniques.

"Good morning, junior brother."

Li Qianqian greeted them.

"Good morning, Senior Sister Li."

Shi Wen greeted her.

She walked over earnestly and said, "Senior sister, do you have some time now? I'd like to ask you some questions."

"Go ahead and say it."

Li Qianqian nodded, and Shi Wen asked directly, "Senior Sister, do you know what an alternate source is?"

"You mean an alien origin?"

Li Qianqian said, "The alien energy continuously produces the flesh of alien beasts."

"For example, our Li's Boxing Academy is famous for its 'jackal meat'."

"Jackal meat can nourish a martial artist's physique, strengthen muscles and bones, and at the same time, it can help him release his inner rage, making his Bajiquan even more powerful."

"But the alien source is not easy to obtain; it needs to be obtained from those alien beasts."

"The origins of strange beasts are varied and bizarre. Sometimes the strange beasts you encounter may be so powerful that even an ordinary person could kill them with their bare hands. Other times, they are so powerful that even a martial artist who has mastered internal energy would find it difficult to deal with them. Each kind of strange beast has different methods and different appearances."

"Furthermore, not every beast possesses an alien source..."

Shi Wen listened attentively.

What Senior Sister Li said was roughly the same as what Zhang Sheng said.

His idea was very simple.

It seems that the Extreme Seal can shorten the evolution time by using alien sources.

Although he didn't know whether the eyeball was from a different source, he could find out by trying it.

If the evolution time of the Extreme Seal can be shortened, then his martial arts improvement speed will be faster!

"Senior sister, do you know where there are strange beasts outside the city?"

Shi Wen asked curiously, but Li Qianqian shook her head and said, "Junior brother, exotic beasts are very rare. Otherwise, the various families and forces in the city wouldn't be so tightly controlling the price of exotic beast meat."

"As for the alien source, it is even more difficult to obtain."

"In our boxing academy, only Master Li possesses the unique source."

"However, I heard that there are high walls along the border of Tiannan Prefecture, with border troops and martial arts masters blocking the gray fog from passing through, and strange sources emerge in the places where the gray fog is rampant."

"Our Zhang'an Prefecture, and even several neighboring prefectures, all purchased their exotic resources from Tiannan Prefecture. Now that there's trouble in Tiannan Prefecture, the price of exotic resources has soared, and I'm afraid the price of exotic beast meat will rise even more in the future."

She shook her head and sighed.

Shi Wen could naturally tell how difficult it was to obtain a different source.

Now all we can do is wait for Zhang Sheng to stabilize his cultivation before we go and explore the place the other party mentioned.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

After asking his questions, Shi Wen began practicing the "Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist" in the open space.

He mastered the basic skills of Bajiquan to perfection.

With his strong physique, he mastered the basics of the "Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist" after a period of practice.

【"Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist": Beginner (1/130), Characteristic: Drilling Stance】

"Another feature added?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Wen's eyes.

The characteristic of basic skills is penetration, which means that the blood and qi contain a penetrating effect, allowing it to pass through without ignoring some defensive power.

And the drilling force must be similar to the force of drilling, right?

"With its penetrating power, its drilling power, and the explosive effect contained within its blood energy, its power must be even more astonishing!"

Shi Wen squatted down on the ground curiously.

A faint wisp of blood energy flowed into his fingers and touched a pebble the size of a fist.

The pebbles immediately revealed dense spiderweb-like cracks, and the blood energy was indeed more easily absorbed than before!

We practiced until noon.

Amidst the envious gazes of the outer court disciples, Shi Wen sat in the dining hall, enjoying a sumptuous meal with the inner court disciples.

Shi Wen didn't seem to have any particular feelings about this.

After finishing his meal, he practiced a set of Bajiquan in the open space.

Seeing that Wei Shan showed no sign of leaving, he went to the real estate agency at noon to inquire about housing prices in the inner city.

I just inquired about it.

He found that not only were housing prices in the inner city very high, but the apartment sizes were also very small. He was somewhat disappointed after visiting the outer city.

A house costing a thousand taels is hardly a house at all.

It was much smaller than his home in Taiping Lane.

According to the brokers, the situation is currently turbulent, and too many refugees have fled from Tiannan Prefecture.

Not to mention the high housing prices in the inner city, even the housing prices in the stable and affluent neighborhoods of the outer city have risen significantly.

"Young man, let me tell you a little secret, just take it as a story."

The broker looked around to make sure no one was watching, then chuckled and said, "I heard that Black Cloud County is going to be upgraded to a special trading city in Zhang'an Prefecture."

"Special Trade City? What does that mean?"

Shi Wen was somewhat surprised.
