From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

Although Mu Sheng didn't use all his strength in that punch, he used about 50-60%, yet Jing Yu's body didn't even sway.

When he threw that punch, the first thing he felt was the texture of flesh and skin, followed by the hardness, like a rock wrapped in pigskin.

It doesn't hurt, but it's too hard to hit.

"Good lad, that's quite powerful." Jing Yu smiled and patted off imaginary dust from his chest.

"Come with me."

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Mu Sheng followed Jing Yu toward the tightly closed door.

Only when the door was completely closed did it block the view behind them.

Mu Sheng let out a breath and looked at the scene before her.

"Senior brother, why is it always so slow for me to gather the power in my fist..."

"Your martial arts skills are still not fully developed, and your moves are not yet refined..."

There were people practicing martial arts nearby, some lying there leisurely reading books, and others practicing horse stance.

You can even see several girls dressed in Taoist robes playing and frolicking there.

The difference between the outer and inner courtyards is stark contrast: one is lifeless and everyone is desperately trying to enter the inner courtyard, even practicing at the cost of their lives.

The inner courtyard, however, appeared thriving, showing no sign of urgency.

"Among the millions of ordinary people in this world, very few can develop strength in a month. Once you develop strength, you will no longer be an ordinary person and will no longer have to struggle for food and clothing."

Jingyu's voice was long and drawn out, yet it stirred up layers of thoughts in people.

"You can become a leader in a small gang or faction, or a guard in a grand mansion, without having to struggle for basic necessities."

"But if that's all you're after, that's all."

Many people looked at Jing Yu, and also saw Mu Sheng following behind Jing Yu. A tall female Taoist priest couldn't help but mutter, "Steward Jing Yu is here again."

The shorter girls next to him nodded in agreement: "He says all that to every newcomer, doesn't he get tired?"

Jing Yu burst into laughter.

Mu Sheng pretended not to hear and clasped her hands in a fist salute to Jing Yu, saying, "Mu Sheng has learned a lot."

"If you can take even a little of this to heart, it will greatly benefit you in the future." Jing Yu turned to look at Xiang Musheng, shook her head regretfully, and said, "With your aptitude and bone age, I'm afraid it's difficult."

Mu Sheng did not refute, but followed Jing Yu into a room. The door was locked with an iron lock, and he took out a key from his pocket to open it.

The two then went inside.

The house looked like a warehouse, with shelves around it displaying blue Taoist robes, unlike the ones they had been given at the beginning. The robes they had been given at the beginning looked simple, made of coarse cloth, and were just for show.

He didn't even need to touch the blue Taoist robe; he could tell just by looking at it that it was made of rare silk.

Jingyu walked inside and threw a neatly folded Taoist robe directly to Musheng, saying, "This Zhenyuan Temple is the outer sect. If you can cultivate internal energy and transform it into qi, you can go to the real Zhenyuan Temple outside the city."

Mu Sheng was secretly surprised. The outside world was full of demons and monsters. The fact that they dared to establish sects and schools outside meant that they had the ability to resist them.

"My True Essence Temple is no match for those famous and wealthy families. For a beginner martial artist, the monthly allowance is only two taels of silver and ten Hundred Food Pills. If you intend to delve deeper into martial arts, this should be enough."

Mu Sheng cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master Jingyu. I will definitely delve deeper into martial arts."

Jing Yu then turned around and said with a smile, "Choose a weapon. The Five Beasts Yuan Technique is just a training method, a required course for outer sect disciples. However, this technique is easy to learn but difficult to master. It also requires a fighting style. Choose a weapon, and I will teach you the moves corresponding to that weapon."

Mu Sheng looked around and found that there were all kinds of weapons, including knives, spears, clubs, axes, hooks, and forks.

Finally, he looked at a long sword, stepped forward, took it in his hand, played with it for a while, and then put it back.

"Sword techniques emphasize ferocity and require cultivating a fierce aura. I will teach you the Tiger-Slaying Sword Technique later." Jing Yu walked to the front, where there was a counter. He directly supported himself on the counter and went inside, squatted down, and quickly stood up with two items in his hands.

With a light leap, he jumped out of the counter again, weighed the two taels of silver in his hand, and threw it directly to Mu Sheng, who hurriedly caught it.

Although the other party didn't care, the two taels of silver were ten times what he had earned before.

He had a porcelain bottle with a red-tipped stopper in his hand. He removed the stopper, smelled it, and then threw the bottle to Mu Sheng.

Looking at Mu Sheng, who hurriedly caught the gifts, he said, "These are from Zhenyuan Temple. You will have to repay Zhenyuan Temple in the future, and we will need you to fight on the front lines."

"This disciple will certainly protect the peace of my True Essence Temple." Mu Sheng hurriedly clasped his hands and said, but he was holding silver in one hand and a porcelain bottle in the other, which made him seem a little rushed.

"Let's go outside. I'll teach you the Tiger-Slaying Saber Technique."

...

The warehouse door was locked.

Outside in the martial arts arena, all the disciples gathered around. Jing Yu addressed them, saying, "This is your new junior brother, Mu Sheng. Get to know him better from now on."

Mu Sheng saw Ming Liu Zi in the crowd, and his eyes lit up noticeably when he saw Mu Sheng.

He turned to Mu Sheng and said, "There are now eighteen people in the True Yuan Temple, and you are the eighteenth. Ming Liuzi is your contemporary. He will show you around later."

"Did you hear that, Liu Zi?" Jing Yu immediately called out to Ming Liu Zi in the crowd.

"I heard you, Master Jingyu." Ming Liuzi said with a hint of toughness on his face, "Also, my name is Ming Liu, not Ming Liuzi."

"Understood, Liu Zi," Jing Yu said with a smile.

Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he was doing it on purpose. Before Ming Liuzi could say anything, he stretched out his arm, and a knife sprang out from his sleeve. The knife was no ordinary knife. It looked flimsy, but with a flick of her jade hand, it became straight. The knife had no handguard, and there was no obstruction between the hilt and the blade. The handguard was originally meant to prevent the blade from cutting the hand when holding the knife.

"Watch closely, everyone. Today I'm going to demonstrate the Tiger-Slaying Saber Technique for you!"

He lightly touched the ground with his foot and immediately began to wield the soft knife in his hand, his sword movements were wide and powerful, and most importantly, they carried an imposing aura.

Just looking at it is enough to send chills down your spine, giving you the illusion of being targeted by a vicious tiger.

"This set of sword techniques consists of three moves: the Tiger's Might parry, the Tiger Slaying attack, and the ultimate move, Tiger Strike! Each move has dozens of variations, and can be used for both offense and defense. Only the last move is a desperate, life-or-death move."

As his blade flashed, it seemed to transform into a tiger, poised to strike with deadly force at any moment.

After finishing his combo, he brought his knife down like a charging tiger, and Mu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, instinctively taking a step back.

But it turned out to be just an illusion, though the imposing aura was like a tiger pouncing.

"Can you learn it?" Jing Yu asked Mu Sheng with a smile.

not at all.

but.

Mu Sheng looked at her instance panel.
