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

Chapter 81 Commander (Please continue reading)

Deep in Aozi Mountain, in what was once Xu Nian's mountain stronghold.

The clanging sound echoed in the air.

A figure was practicing his hammer strike in an open space.

The pure iron hammer, weighing thirty to forty pounds, is wielded like a cloak, impervious to water.

The hammer kept pounding on the surrounding iron ingots, producing a thunderous sound.

Zhou Yuan combined the White Ape Cloak Hammer and the Eight Directions Thunder Sound into his cultivation. The thunder sound stirred his internal organs, and his qi and blood circulated through his internal organs and skin.

The constant flow between muscles and fascia eventually manifests as a deep, tingling ache.

The secret to breaking through the Bone Forging Realm three times lies in the penetration of Qi and blood into the bones.

After talking with Luo Boyan that day, Luo Boyan left with a group of people.

However, Zhou Yuan and the others did not leave together.

The dozen or so survivors of the Pang family's extermination operation all stayed behind, and Luo Boyan and Yue Zichuan arranged for some people to "protect" them.

It was called "protection," but in reality it was house arrest.

Luo Baiyan and Yue Zichuan led their men to Gaoshan County to eliminate the remaining forces of the Pang family, including many of the talents behind these Gaoshan County elites.

These talented individuals are all awaiting their final judgment.

Being silenced by the Pang family does not prove their innocence.

Some of the survivors had previously been quite close to the Pang family.

For example, Luo Rongrong, and Chen Ming.

Luo Rongrong escaped a terrible ordeal by hiding in her room and crying after being slapped by Pang Yuanyou.

Chen Ming pulled the person next to him to shield him at the crucial moment, which allowed him to hold out until Luo Boyan and Yue Zichuan made their move.

Of those who survived the Pang family's attempt to silence them, only Wang Chao survived because he was incredibly lucky. The others all had some ulterior motives, whether good or bad.

"Clap clap clap".

Applause erupted, and Gao Da leaned against a pillar, clicking his tongue in admiration.

"Your hammer technique has improved so much since you participated in the martial arts competition. I was a little unconvinced when I lost to you last time, but now I'm convinced."

""

Gao Da said with a sigh.

"Now I understand why you, with your poor background, lack of talent, and subpar martial arts skills, have achieved what you have today."

"Given the current situation, you still manage to persevere in your cultivation, from morning till night. You are the most hardworking person I have ever met."

I'll take that as a compliment.

""

Zhou Yuan had just finished practicing the last move. He exhaled and wiped his sweat.

What does it mean to have a poor background, poor talent, and poor martial arts skills?

"Of course it's a compliment, it's genuine."

Gao Da chuckled and said, "So, you actually knew all along that Shenbing Valley was going to clean house?"

"You cooperated with Elder Luo just to mislead Pang Yuanyou and Pang Yunlong? Are you not actually Elder Luo's disciple in name only?"

Gao Da came to Zhou Yuan's side and asked in a low voice.

They were free to move around in the mountain stronghold, and as long as they didn't leave, those who "protected" them wouldn't bother them.

I guess so.

Zhou Yuan said calmly that he and Luo Boyan had reached an agreement, and the news would spread quickly after they left.

In time, everyone will know that he is not Luo Baiyan's disciple, but a smokescreen released to cooperate with Luo Baiyan's actions.

And because of his meritorious service, he became the commander of the garrison in Gaoshan County.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan had no need to hide anything.

"You've been hiding it too well. I thought you really were Elder Luo's disciple."

""

Gao Da sighed, "Tell me, bro, what secret missions do you still have?"

I promise I won't tell anyone!

'

"Can you keep a secret?"

'

Zhou Yuan said.

"able!

'

Gundam was excited, rubbing his hands together, eager to try.

"Coincidentally, I can do that too."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he began practicing the White Ape Tongbi Fist.

Gundam:

'

"What's the point of practicing boxing by yourself? I'll practice with you!"

"Gao shouted, taking a sudden step forward, exerting force with his feet and toes, and with his blood surging, he struck Zhou Yuan with a palm strike accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.

Zhou Yuan's expression remained unchanged. He twisted his waist, causing his entire body to sway.

With a crisp crack, the fist, like a hammer, slammed into Gundam's palm.

Gao Da let out a strange cry, but instead of taking the hit head-on, he swayed and, like a snake darting through the grass, suddenly circled behind Zhou Yuan and struck him in the back.

Zhou Yuan didn't even turn his head, and threw a punch with his backhand.

Their fists and palms collided, and both men took a step back at the same time.

During this period, Gao Da also successfully broke through the barrier three times and advanced to the Bone Forging Realm.

But his arm still went numb from Zhou Yuan's punch.

"Again!"

Zhou Yuan also became interested. He shuddered and his arm shot up with lightning speed, his posture like that of a blacksmith.

With a snap, the sleeve on his arm was shattered, revealing his arm muscles that were as tough as steel bars, bursting with power.

Gundam did not dare to be careless and was fully focused.

The two fought with lightning speed, the air filled with sharp whistling sounds, and fists and palms danced wildly, dazzling the eyes of onlookers.

After hundreds of moves, the two men's fists and palms collided again. Gao Da took advantage of the momentum to retreat a few steps and raised his hand to make a stop gesture.

He let out a long breath, his forehead already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Why did you stop fighting?"

'

Zhou Yuan said, somewhat reluctantly.

"Let's stop playing, or we'll really lose."

Gundam shook its head like a rattle drum.

"That's not necessarily true. I felt like I was about to lose to you just now."

,

Zhou Yuan said.

Gundam rolled his eyes. "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Zhou Yuan looked regretful and could only practice on his own, without taking a break for a moment.

Gao Da felt a sense of unease. Could it be that practicing martial arts diligently really works?

Otherwise, how could Zhou Yuan, a person of mediocre talent, be stronger than himself, a genius since childhood?

Or, how about he tries cultivating for two more hours every day from now on?

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Gundam did try his best for a couple of seconds, but then he reverted to his previous lazy state.

He realized that hard work is also a talent. If Zhou Yuan had "top-notch talent" in terms of hard work, then Gao Da was only "bottom-notch talent."

.

On this day, Gao Da sat there idly watching Zhou Yuan practice hard.

A familiar face appeared in the mountain village.

Zhu Yiwei, the head constable of Gaoshan County.

"Your affairs have all been investigated and clarified. Elder Luo, considering that you were deceived by the Pang family, has pardoned you and you can go home."

Zhu Yiwei gathered everyone together and announced.

A cheer erupted from the crowd, especially from Luo Rongrong and Chen Ming, who visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were unaware of the Pang family's affairs, as stewards of the Martial Alliance, they had previously been very close to Pang Yunlong and Pang Yuanyou, and these days they had been worried that they would be purged.

As everyone followed Zhu Yiwei away from the mountain village where they had stayed for many days, they all felt as if they had survived a disaster and were in a different world.

Just as everyone was sighing, Zhu Yiwei personally led over a horse and handed the reins to Zhou Yuan.

"Elder Luo is waiting for you at the county office. Please mount your horse and go ahead."

Zhu Yiwei's tone carried a hint of ingratiation.

Seeing Zhu Yiwei and Zhou Yuan ride away, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Wasn't it said that Zhou Yuan wasn't Elder Luo's disciple? Why does he have a horse, while we have to walk back?"

Chen Ming complained bitterly.

Gaoshan County Town.

Zhuo Changyu immersed his hands in the icy well water, laboriously washing clothes.

Although she and Zhou Yuan have moved into a new home and have some savings, they still cannot afford to support servants.

"Oh dear, Mrs. Zhou, why are you doing such rough work yourself?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out at the door, followed by a noblewoman rushing in with three or four maids.

"Who are you?"

Zhuo Changyu looked at the other person with a blank expression.

"Congratulations, Madam! My husband is a constable in the county and a colleague of Commander Zhou. We should keep in touch more often in the future."

,

The lady said with a smile.
