Supreme Martial Venerable: Starting with the White Ape Cloak Hammer skill point allocation

When Zhou Yuan woke up early in the morning, the campfire had already gone out, leaving only a pile of gray embers.

Luo Baiyan has vanished without a trace, like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail.

If he hadn't still had the waist token that Luo Baiyan had given him, he would have thought that what happened last night was a dream.

"The waist tag that Yue Zichuan gave me has been replaced with Luo Boyan's waist tag. This waist tag can prove my identity; a disciple in name is still a disciple."

Zhou Yuan thought to himself, "From now on, I can be considered someone with connections."

Luo Baiyan said that as long as one does not act recklessly, then one can use his name.

However, Zhou Yuan was also aware that Luo Baiyan's status as a disciple was a powerful weapon, and it was best to avoid using it if possible.

Using someone once will damage their goodwill, making it much more difficult for them to become a formal disciple in the future.

He knew very well that as long as he acted in Luo Boyan's name, Luo Boyan would definitely find out.

"Having nuclear weapons and not using them can still deter a group of people."

Zhou Yuan thought to himself, "I won't cause trouble, but I don't need to be afraid of trouble either."

Zhou Yuan carefully put Luo Baiyan's waist token away from his body, grabbed his hammer and longsword, and headed straight down the mountain towards Gaoshan County.

Back on the official road, Zhou Yuan silently breathed a sigh of relief. With a thought, he summoned the system panel.

Name: Zhou Yuan

[Free Points: 120]

[Realm: Bone Forging Realm]

【功法：白猿披风锤圆满（400/5000）、白猿通臂拳大成（300/3000）、断水刀法小成（600/1000）、八方雷音入门（60/3000）】

[Skills: Advanced Blacksmithing, Basic Weapon Forging (500/3000)]

Yesterday's results were tallied, and I still have 120 free points.

Zhou Yuan allocated 80 points to the Eight Directions Thunder Sound, and the remaining 40 points were evenly distributed among the White Ape Cloak Hammer, White Ape Tongbi Fist, Water-Cutting Blade Technique, and Weapon Forging Technique.

Zhou Yuan's current principle for allocating points is to focus on the Eight Directions Thunder Sound, while not neglecting other aspects, so that those who get rich first can help those who are still poor, and ultimately achieve common prosperity.

"I've heard that there are even better Foundation Establishment martial arts in Divine Weapon Valley. If I can learn them, I'll definitely get more free points every day."

Unfortunately, I am only a nominal disciple, with the title but no real skills, and I will not be able to learn the martial arts of Divine Weapon Valley.

Zhou Yuan silently absorbed the boost from the added points, thinking with a touch of regret.

Luo Baiyan defined his standard as the transformation of blood and qi into essence.

He is currently only at the Bone Forging Realm, having broken through three levels, and is still four levels away from the Blood Qi Transformation Realm, which is the Blood Exchange Realm.

"Although the White Ape Cloak Hammer and the Eight Directions Thunder Sound are not top-level martial arts, if both are cultivated to perfection, they can also transform blood and qi into essence."

However, it is extremely difficult. Master Li has practiced for decades and has only managed to break through the barrier four times.

Under normal circumstances, the possibility of me reaching that level is almost zero.

Elder Luo was only taking care of me out of consideration for his relationship with Master Li's father-in-law; he never intended to actually accept me as a disciple.

Zhou Yuan pondered to himself.

However, having the status of a disciple on the side, if he were to pass the martial arts examination in the future, it would be enough to ensure that he would live a life free from financial worries. This can be seen as Luo Baiyan taking into account the friendship between old friends.

Just then, the sound of rapid and chaotic hoofbeats came from behind.

Zhou Yuan and the scattered pedestrians on the official road all moved to the side of the road.

Dust billowed up as a group of people galloped past on horseback.

Zhou Yuan covered his mouth and nose, frowning as he looked over.

The leader of that group was none other than Pang Yunlong, the commander of the city guards.

Pang Yunlong was covered in blood, with a bloody human head hanging from his saddle. He cracked his whip and galloped ahead.

A group of city guards rushed into the city gate of Gaoshan County like a whirlwind.

Zhou Yuan was secretly alarmed.

Did Pang Yunlong still manage to capture Lin Jingsheng?

It is unknown whether Lin Jingsheng made any mention of the "Collection of Military Manipulation" before his death.

However, Lin Jingsheng didn't know who had thrown the "Collection of Military Manifesto" into his house. Even if he confessed, Pang Yunlong wouldn't be able to trace it back to him.

Zhou Yuan touched the waist token in his pocket and felt reassured.

He is no longer the craftsman who can be bullied by everyone. Even Pang Yunlong cannot do anything to him without any evidence.

Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain; let him be arrogant, the bright moon still shines over the great river.

With this in mind, Zhou Yuan quickened his pace and walked into the city.

…………

In front of the Li residence, Pang Yunlong dismounted.

He strode to the door and smashed the heavy wooden door to pieces with a single punch.

"Surround them from the front and back, and don't let a single person escape!"

Pang Yunlong shouted.

The city guards responded loudly and surrounded the Li residence with murderous intent.

Hearing the commotion, Li Lin and his wife rushed over from the backyard, only to bump into Pang Yunlong and his men who had barged in in the front yard.

"Commander Pang, what do you mean by this?"

Li Lin caught a glimpse of the smashed door, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes.

Li Lin is a well-known figure in Gaoshan County, a powerful expert who has broken through the barrier four times, and has also achieved merit. Even if Pang Yunlong is the commander of the city guards, this is going too far.

pat.

Pang Yunlong threw Lin Jingsheng's head in front of Li Lin.

"Li Lin, you've been exposed."

He sneered, "The last person Xu Nian saw before he died was you, and Lin Jingsheng had a grudge against you. So, you obtained the 'Collection of Military Strategy' from Xu Nian, and then threw it into the Lin family to frame Lin Jingsheng. Am I wrong?"

"What are you talking about? I've never seen any 'Collection of Military Maneuvers'!"

Li Lin's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice.

"The 'Collection of Military Skills' is a closely guarded secret of our Divine Weapon Valley. Anyone who dares to steal it will be killed without mercy. You already know the name 'Collection of Military Skills,' which means you're courting death!"

Pang Yunlong grinned, took a step forward, and slammed his broadsword into the ground with a clang, his face revealing murderous intent.

Li Lin laughed in extreme anger. He had always been cautious and prudent, but even he was so angry at Pang Yunlong's unreasonable statement that his eyes went black.

Knowing the name "Lanbing Ji" means you'll die?

Then half the people in Jiangzhou probably deserve to die!

Pang Yunlong is clearly using this as an excuse to accuse someone; if you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.

Ultimately, it all comes down to that jade knife!

If the other party were to ask him for the jade knife in a reasonable manner, given his personality of not wanting to cause trouble, he might just give it to them.

But the other party was pushing him too far, refusing to give him any benefits and even bullying him like this. Even honest people have tempers!

He would rather die than let the Jade Blade fall into the hands of someone like Pang Yunlong.

Fortunately, he had already given the Jade Blade to Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan inherited his mantle.

Li Lin turned to look at his wife, Han, with a guilty expression.

With a smile on her lips and a firm gaze, Han gently grasped Li Lin's hand, her eyes filled with encouragement and support.

"Since Commander Pang wants my life, then come on."

Li Lin took a deep breath, slowly straightened his back, and a series of cracking sounds came from his joints. His arms seemed to be swinging but not swinging, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"You'll be asking for trouble if you won't listen to reason! You're asking for it!"

Pang Yunlong snorted coldly and swung his knife to strike.

Li Lin suddenly lunged forward, his arm lashing out like a whip at Pang Yunlong's wrist.

White Ape Tongbei Fist!

Li Lin's attack was incredibly fast and the angle was so tricky that it unmistakably revealed the strength of a four-time breakthrough expert.

With a death wish, he launched a relentless attack, focusing solely on offense and refusing to defend.

If Pang Yunlong doesn't change his move, although he can cleave Li Lin in two with one strike, his arm will also be broken by Li Lin.

Why would he risk injury to save his life?

With a change of technique, the back of the blade struck Li Lin's fist.

Bang bang bang.

The muffled thuds continued, and in an instant, the two had exchanged several blows.

Although Li Lin had broken through the barrier four times, he had just recovered from a serious injury and his combat experience was inferior to Pang Yunlong's. Caught off guard, he was kicked in the abdomen by Pang Yunlong and his body flew backward.

Before he could even stand still, Pang Yunlong had already shattered the blue bricks, leaped into the air, and slashed down with his sword.

Wherever the blade passed, the air emitted a piercing crackling sound, and visible white shockwaves churned like boiling water.

Li Lin instinctively shielded Han behind him, closed his eyes, and awaited his death.

Just then, a sharp whooshing sound rang out, and a black dot shot in from outside the door.

Pang Yunlong's ears twitched, he snorted coldly, and blocked with his sword.

A crisp, ringing sound.

Pang Yunlong landed steadily, along with a small metal waist tag.
