Full-Time Martial Saint

Chen Cong had just returned to his dormitory when he ran into Luo Yunfeng, who was about to leave. The two met at the door, and Chen Cong greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Luo, what have you been up to these past few days? I haven't seen you morning or night."

Luo Yunfeng straightened his clothes, his eyes darting around as he replied, "I found a private trainer. The price is cheaper tonight, so I'm going now."

"Luo..." Chen Cong wanted to say something, but Luo Yunfeng had already hurriedly walked towards the stairs, not giving him a chance to speak at all.

Private coach?

Watching his figure disappear, Chen Cong frowned, recalling Luo Yunfeng's clothes and the faint scent of perfume on him, and couldn't help but mutter to himself with suspicion:

"Shouldn't you wear a martial arts uniform when meeting a private tutor?"

"Could this guy be in love?!"

Realizing that Luo Yunfeng wasn't going to see his private tutor at all, but rather on a date, Chen Cong smiled and shook his head, not asking any further questions.

He turned around, pushed open the dormitory door, and after a quick wash, he sent a message to Hey and logged into the virtual world ahead of time.

More than ten minutes later, Hey appeared in the hall of the God of Destiny Arena.

"Going to your appointment?" Hey asked with great interest as soon as they met.

Chen Cong nodded: "Let's talk in the fighting space."

Hey didn't press further and directly extended an invitation to spar.

On the stage, Chen Cong briefly recounted his meeting with Li Xiuwen, which made He Yi's eyes light up with admiration.

"I've realized that you have a really good mental fortitude."

"That guy surnamed Li is definitely not a simple person, to be able to serve as a deacon in a local city branch. You actually managed to intimidate him."

Chen Cong waved his hand repeatedly: "I have to thank you for your help. I'll need you to keep an eye on things these next few days and see if Li Xiuwen will contact your Karaputi family to verify this matter."

Hey patted his chest and nodded, saying, "Leave it to me."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Chen Cong took the initiative to suggest a fight.

After several exchanges, he could clearly see that Hey's explosive punch technique was just one step away from reaching the minor mastery level.

Since the other party had helped him so much this time, he planned to put in extra effort in the next couple of days to try and make sure his boxing skills reached a certain level of proficiency.

The sparring match lasted a full half hour. When it ended, He Yi, panting heavily, slumped onto the ring, his face beaming with excitement. "I'm going to really think about the power generation techniques you mentioned later. I have a strong feeling that if I can master those techniques, my boxing skills will definitely reach a minor level of proficiency!"

"A traveler longing for home..."

"My name is Chen Cong."

After a brief hesitation, Chen Cong finally decided to tell the other party his real name.

"Chen Cong... thank you." He Yi smiled slightly, stood up and waved her hand: "I won't be fighting in the arena tonight. After I leave the virtual world, I'll send you some videos so you can watch and learn from them."

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure slowly disappeared into the fighting space.

When Chen Cong was forcibly kicked out of the fighting space, he clearly felt the bracelet on his wrist vibrate.

However, he did not choose to check immediately, intending to wait until he exited the virtual world.

With the free match mode activated, he was matched with a new opponent in less than three minutes.

As his body was sucked into the fighting space, Chen Cong's vision returned, and he was slightly taken aback when he saw his opponent on the other side of the ring.

Code name: Ganesha (Elephant-headed God)

Rank: Rookie 4-Star

Number of matches: 48

Record: 31 wins, 17 losses

Win percentage: 64.58%

"Ganesha... Is this an opponent from Siam?" Seeing the opponent's code name and attire, Chen Cong vaguely guessed the opponent's identity.

Ganesha is a deity in ancient Siamese mythology, who is in charge of wealth and wisdom.

The other person's skin is bronze, and their attire is quite in line with Siamese cultural characteristics, suggesting that their character was not changed when they first entered the virtual world and created their character.

As the five-second countdown began in the arena, Ganesha performed a unique salute to him from afar, and Chen Cong returned the salute with clasped hands.

As the countdown reached zero, both sides charged at each other almost simultaneously.

Historical records indicate that Siamese martial artists are typically skilled in leg and fist techniques, employing ruthless attacks—a style of killing that prioritizes extreme simplicity. It is said that the daily training of Siamese martial arts students and practitioners is almost inhuman.

In pursuit of ultimate lethality, they often kick and punch hard objects repeatedly, increasing their pain resistance and strengthening their physical body through the process of repeatedly injuring and healing their muscles, skin, and bones.

It is said that some newly advanced ruthless individuals in Siam can train their fists to be harder than ordinary steel, and their shinbones can even break solid steel pillars as thick as an arm.

As soon as Chen Conggang engaged in combat with his opponent, he instantly experienced the terror of Siamese martial arts.

Although the body generated in the virtual world is not a physical entity, its basic parameters are closely related to the overall physical fitness and personal mental strength in reality.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Chen Cong was able to determine that the elephant-headed god was probably slightly stronger than Zhou Hao in reality.

Fortunately, this is a virtual world; if they were to fight in reality, he probably wouldn't last long before being defeated.

The two fought for more than ten minutes. Chen Cong withstood a double knee strike from his opponent before finding a slight opening and defeating him with a single sheep headbutt followed by a tiger climbing a mountain.

After a short rest, he played four more matches, earning a total of 138 LP before leaving the virtual world.

After removing the Crystal Helmet and stretching slowly, Chen Cong opened his bracelet and began watching the video sent by He Yi.

The video is not very long, only about ten minutes in total, and it shows a scene of martial arts practitioners sparring.

"This is... the fully mastered Spirit Ape Step!?"

"His boxing skills..."

After watching for only two or three minutes, Chen Cong was astonished to find that the boxing and movement techniques used by the elderly man in the video, who looked somewhat similar to He Yi, were beyond his comprehension.

He could only tell that the old man's movement technique was indeed the Spirit Ape Step, and his fist technique was the Explosive Kill Fist that Hey had practiced.

But relying on their agility, they moved so fast that they could leave afterimages in place.

When a fist is thrown out, the explosive power can cause the air in front of it to visibly distort, just like the internal energy released from the outside in martial arts novels of the past, with extremely terrifying destructive power!

"What level of martial artist is this?" Chen Cong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but murmur.

After watching the ten-minute video quickly, Chen Cong was still in shock when his bracelet suddenly received another message.

[Have you finished watching the video? What are your thoughts?]

When Chen received the downloaded video, He Yi received a notification; she must have sent the message around the same time.

Chen replied quickly: "Very impressive. May I ask, senior, what level of martial artist are you now?"

Hei replied, "At the peak of the fifth rank, with perfected movement techniques and mastery of fist techniques, my grandfather's true combat strength is comparable to some weaker sixth-rank martial artists."

After a pause, Hey sent another message: "Don't share this video, or I'll get scolded if Grandfather finds out."

Chen replied with an "Mm," then opened the video again to watch it carefully.

Unfortunately, he watched the video over and over again, but the cheat code still didn't react at all.

Fortunately, through repeated and careful observation, he gained many different insights into the Spirit Ape Step. At the same time, with the help of his opponent's use of the Explosive Kill Fist, he also gained some different understanding of Bajiquan.

After briefly speaking to He Yi, Chen Cong hurriedly climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to digest his insights.

Gradually, he seemed to fall back into the strange state he had experienced when he first heard Su Nanyue describe stance training. A virtual figure appeared in his mind, demonstrating the agile ape steps and the master-level explosive fist technique to him over and over again...

Time flies, and the sky outside the window gradually turns white.

When Chen Cong woke up, after spending the entire night comprehending movement techniques and martial arts skills, his eyes showed a deep weariness, but his spirit was unusually high!
