Chapter 120 Director Zhou is severely injured

The news of the Zhao family's annihilation spread throughout the entire Qingshi Town within a morning.

The town's largest power collapsed, and everyone watched to see how the situation would unfold.

Only the Li family, who had been lying low for many days, immediately tore off all their pretenses.

The head of the Li family, accompanied by seven or eight experts at the Inner Strength Realm, swaggered to the entrance of the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall and surrounded the entire hall.

The people on the street dared not approach, standing at a distance to watch the spectacle. They all knew that the Li family was trying to take advantage of the situation and monopolize Qing Shi Town.

The Second Elder walked into the martial arts hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping over all the disciples in the hall, his voice arrogant and domineering.

"The Zhao family is gone. From now on, the Li family of Qingshi Town will be in charge."

"The martial arts school has two options: submit to the Li family, or close down immediately."

Director Zhou is getting old and prefers to play it safe. He also doesn't want his young disciples to die in vain.

He stepped forward and obediently bowed his head, admitting his weakness.

"The martial arts school is willing to submit to the Li family and has no other intentions."

He thought that by backing down, the matter would be over.

But if he bows his head, others may not be willing to give him a way out.

The head of the Li family sneered on the spot.

"Verbal compliance? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Today, let the whole town see what happens to those who defy the Li family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give anyone a chance to react and raised his hand to give the order.

"Let's do it!"

Seven or eight skilled members of the Li family swarmed forward instantly, all channeling their inner strength to attack Director Zhou.

Director Zhou was caught off guard and hastily raised his hand to block, but the other side had too many people and he was no match for them.

Several heavy blows!

Director Zhou was knocked back repeatedly and received a heavy slap to the stomach.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

His dantian shattered, his meridians broke, and his decades of hard-earned cultivation were completely wiped out in an instant.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up again.

The martial arts school disciples' eyes instantly turned red, and several hot-blooded young men tried to rush forward to protect their master.

As soon as he took a step, he was knocked down on the spot by Li's thugs and fell to the ground, unable to move.

The head of the Li family stepped onto the floor of the martial arts school and coldly surveyed the crowd of onlookers.

"Remember today."

"There are no more martial arts schools in Qing Shi Town."

"This is what happens to anyone who opposes the Li family."

The onlookers dared not speak; they all lowered their heads, filled with anger, yet none dared to step forward.

From then on, the martial arts school in Qingshi Town, which had been passed down for many years, was completely disbanded.

The hustle and bustle of the town at that moment could not penetrate Chen Mo's courtyard at all.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed, and everything was quiet.

After returning from the pharmacy, Chen Mo closed the door and focused on practicing the Swallow Step.

This footwork is only a low-level Yellow Rank technique. Its advantage is that it consumes very little effort to cultivate, making it suitable for mindless, repeated practice to improve proficiency.

With the added benefit of his advanced learning, his proficiency was consistently at its maximum in every complete practice session.

From beginner to expert, a total of 44,600 proficiency points are required, which means it takes about 112 cycles to reach the pinnacle.

Chen Mo took out the Three Yang Returning to Origin Pills and swallowed three of them directly.

The medicinal power spread instantly, filling all the meridians of the body.

He moved his feet and began to perform the moves.

The first time, my steps were clumsy, my landing was heavy, my jump was only three feet high, and my movements were somewhat stiff.

[Swallow Step Proficiency +400]

Congratulations! You've broken through the "Swallow Step" skill barrier: Beginner → Proficient.

Go directly from beginner to proficient.

Chen Mo didn't rest and continued practicing.

The second time, the third time, the tenth time...

With each repetition, his proficiency skyrocketed, and his skill level improved.

His movements became increasingly steady, and his body became increasingly light.

He spent the entire morning holed up in the yard, repeatedly leaping and jumping around.

At noon, Suyue carried the food into the courtyard.

She didn't make a fuss, she just stood quietly to the side and watched.

While eating, Chen Mo mentally went over the moves and instructions of the "Swallow Step" technique, occasionally mimicking the movements with his feet.

After finishing his meal, he went directly to the open space behind the mountain.

The back mountain is deserted and ideal for practicing light-body footwork.

Throughout the afternoon, soft sounds of rising and falling echoed continuously through the mountains.

Hundreds of jumps, dodges, changes of direction, and landings.

From clumsy to skilled, from heavy to light.

The sun gradually set, and the sky slowly darkened.

For the last time, Chen Mo darted away.

With a light touch of her toes on the ground, she soared through the air like a swallow, flying nearly twenty meters away.

He landed silently, his breathing was steady, and there was not a sound from his body.

The entire "Treading Swallow Steps" routine has been mastered to perfection.

【Stepping Swallow (Maximum Transformation)】

[Rank: Yellow-tier martial arts]

[Description: A light-body footwork technique, when mastered to its highest level, allows one to move as lightly as a swallow, leaving no trace on the snow, shifting and dodging within a small space. In combat, the movement is elusive and difficult to catch.]

[Effect: Agility +800, Movement Agility +200%]

[Special Effect: Swallow Leap - After leaping, one can use the momentum to launch oneself into the air a second time, changing direction once in mid-air; landing silently, without revealing one's breath]

[Transcendent Realm Trait: Body Moves at Will - No need to consciously manipulate footwork, the body automatically makes the optimal evasion path, greatly increasing reaction speed in combat]

With his lightness skill reaching a state of perfection, Chen Mo's mobility and evasion ability were directly elevated to a whole new level.

He finished his practice, turned around, and slowly walked back to the courtyard.

The food inside has been reheated.

When Qingzhu saw him return, she immediately started chattering away.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened in town! The Zhao family was wiped out by a mysterious person last night, and the Li family caused trouble at the martial arts school today, severely injuring and crippling Master Zhou. The martial arts school has been disbanded! This is outrageous!"

The little girl looked indignant, feeling sorry for Director Zhou.

The two women were too tired last night and slept too soundly; the sound of the explosion last night did not wake them.

He sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to explain in a calm tone while eating.

"I see."

"In Qing Shi Town, the old forces have fallen, and new forces are vying for territory. It's a dog-eat-dog world, which is quite normal."

"Master Zhou is weak and alone, without strong power to protect himself, and cannot fight against the Li family, so he will not be able to keep the martial arts school."

He saw things very clearly, but he simply analyzed the situation objectively.

Although he was a disciple of the martial arts school, he didn't have much affection for the school, and besides, Director Zhou was always wary of him.

Now that Director Zhou has been dismissed, I wonder how his wife is doing. I'll go visit her after dinner.

Qingzhu paused for a moment after hearing this, then whispered.

"Young master, things have been rather unsettled in town lately. Please be very careful when you go out."

Chen Mo smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, I'm very capable."

"This is a local dispute, it has nothing to do with us."

Su Yue sat quietly to the side, nodding gently.

Chen Mo finished his dinner in a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

"The food tasted good tonight; you've improved."

"Hehe, I will continue to study hard."

Qingzhu's eyes crinkled with delight as she ate with great pleasure.

"I'm going to visit Director Zhou. You all stay home and don't go out."
