Becoming a Martial Saint: Starting with the Mountain-Breaking Fist

"Liu Mingze of the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School welcomes any senior or junior brother to come and challenge him!" Lin Hu was strong and muscular, but he was also cunning.

Although he did not go on stage, he deliberately appeared to lack confidence when speaking with other martial arts school disciples.

Those once piercing eyes were now almost furrowed together with his brows.

To everyone present, he seemed like a cowardly fool who had gotten lucky out of nowhere.

Weak, incompetent, and easily bullied!

Liu Mingze, on the other hand, was not so petty. He took the lead, stood there with his arms crossed, exuding an imposing aura, as if he wanted to glare his opponent to death.

"Let me test Junior Brother Liu Mingze's skills. I am Su Fei from Songhe Martial Arts School. Please give me your guidance!" A martial artist with internal strength who couldn't stand Liu Mingze's arrogance and conceit jumped up from his seat.

The two sides assumed their stances, one wielding the Mountain-Breaking Fist and the other the Pine Crane Claw.

Chen Feng and the master of Songhe Martial Arts School looked at each other across the distance, nodded, and then stopped looking at each other's expressions.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School had finished what they were doing and gathered around to watch Liu Mingze's battle.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Steward Zhang and the third wife of the Wang family keep looking at you."

"You don't mean you're planning to take me back to be your male servant, do you?" Zhang Chen, now that his mouth was healed, said from his wheelchair.

Zhou Ye patted Duan Xuan's back, which was as hard as iron: "The Third Madam is spoiled and pampered, with an air of nobility. Our junior brother might just get damaged by her!"

"My two senior brothers, please stop teasing me. They might be looking at you!"

The two hissed and exclaimed in unison, "That makes sense!"

"What about me? Maybe they're watching me..." Liu Tie said, raising his hand.

"You're just a lowly Ming Jin martial artist; you're more suited to carrying other people's shoes."

"Don't underestimate me, okay? Senior Brother Duan said that I'll be able to reach the Dark Force realm in a few months. I trust Senior Brother Duan's words. By the way, Senior Brother Duan, do you think the disciples of Songhe Martial Arts School can hold out...?"

Before the words were finished, a figure flew backward from the makeshift platform.

All the disciples stared in shock.

"In less than five breaths, Junior Brother Liu actually defeated a martial artist of the same level who possesses internal energy!"

"Is the Mountain-Breaking Fist he learned really the same as our Mountain-Breaking Fist?"

  

Liu Mingze made no attempt to hide the sarcasm on his face: "The martial arts scholar on the Ding list is highly questionable. Next!"

"You!" Sophie, who was kicked and coughed up blood, was very indignant, but was silenced by a glare from her master.

"I am Liu Ping, the leader of the Chain Butterfly Sect, and I have come to learn from Senior Brother Liu's superior skills!"

Liu Mingze crossed his arms, unwilling to adopt a boxing stance.

"What do you mean by this? Do you want to compete with me in leg techniques?" Liu Ping snorted.

Liu Mingze glanced at the Chen Jingshu and Chen Jingyun sisters watching him from below the stage. The two seemed not to be very interested, so he immediately said angrily, "Do you want me to explain it clearly?"

"You're not enough for me to fight alone, so I'll send another martial artist with internal energy!"

Chen Feng's eyebrows shot up, as if he was about to reprimand him.

However, neither the third wife, Zhang Bihuan, nor the two young masters of the Huang family on the right made any statement, so they had no choice but to calm down and wait for the situation to change.

"Since you're so arrogant, insisting on taking on two opponents at once, I'll lend Brother Liu a hand!" One of them stomped three times in the air, leaping across the arena: "Iron Legs Water-Walking—Qiu Gang, if you lose, don't say we had a numerical advantage!"

……

Chen Jingshu, Chen Jingyun, Hong Yu (the eldest disciple of the rival Xianghong Martial Arts School), and Huang Jingyi (the junior sister who had just started the school) were sitting together discussing the martial arts exam.

In the second stage, the Black Wolf Guest suddenly appeared and saved their lives.

"Sister, you're not still hung up on Black Wolf, are you?" Chen Jingyun teased softly.

Hongyu and Huang Jingyi both glanced at them sideways.

A slight blush appeared on Chen Jingshu's icy face as she gently poked her younger sister's forehead with her slender, white index finger: "Once you step into the martial arts path, you must take it as your foundation. Don't gossip about your older sister all day!"

"That's a pity. I learned something about Black Wolf this morning, but since you don't want to hear it, sister."

"I shared it with Sister Hongyu and Sister Huang Jingyi!" Chen Jingyun smiled and was about to turn her head when Chen Jingshu gently tugged at her braid.

Hongyu and the others immediately covered their mouths and laughed.

"This Black Wolf is quite skilled, able to create such an ingenious trap."

He also killed several martial artists of varying strengths at an extremely fast speed, indicating that his combat experience far surpassed ours.

"And he doesn't get lost!" Hongyu said, chin in hand. "My lightness skill is pretty good. If I'm on the bottom and he's on top, wouldn't we be invincible?"

"Jing Shu's stance training is solid; you can also be on the bottom while he's on top!"

"Sister Hongyu, don't talk nonsense!" A blush appeared on Chen Jingshu's face.

The three of them were stunned for a while, then burst into laughter again when they came to their senses.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing my sister. According to Junior Brother Liu Tie, yesterday, Duan Xu, the beloved disciple of Jiang Zhongkun, the master of the Scale Python Martial Arts School, was..."

He and his senior disciple Wu Zhengzhong were ambushed in the alley of Peach Blossom Fragrance Wine Shop, and both of them had their bones destroyed and the tendons in their hands and feet severed.

Under normal circumstances, if a martial artist's tendons are severed, they can be reattached using the help of their powerful blood and qi.

Unfortunately, they were discovered several hours later, missing the optimal time for treatment.

Furthermore, their innate constitution was destroyed, and their vital energy was returned to heaven and earth!

Chen Jingyun, Hongyu, and Huang Jingyi were clearly not interested in this matter.

But Chen Jingyun, who had been well-versed in classical texts and possessed a refined, scholarly air, abruptly changed the subject like a storyteller: "The residents on both sides of the alley all say that Duan Xu shouted three words before he was crippled: 'Black Wolf Guest!'"

The eyes of Chen Jingshu and the other two immediately lit up.

"The Black Wolf should have been spread by a disciple of our martial arts school or Xianghong Martial Arts School."

Now everyone is talking about this name.

I heard that even the storytellers at the storytelling parlor are rewriting their texts!

"Sister, shall we go and listen to it in a few days?"

Chen Jingshu resumed her aloof demeanor and nodded slightly: "Agreed!"

"I'm just wondering, what grudge does this Black Wolf Guest have against the Scaled Python Martial Arts School? Why did he provoke them?"

He even crippled Jiang Zhongkun's most beloved junior disciple!

"If it really was Black Wolf who did it, he's probably in danger!" Chen Jingshu said worriedly.

The four chatted enthusiastically, while Zhang Chen and Zhou Ye listened with great interest.

"My junior brother Liu and I only missed one exam, and yet such an amazing person has appeared?" Zhang Chen was overjoyed. "Whether this person is good or bad, my junior brother Zhou and I are sincerely grateful to him."

Wu Zhengzhong was the one who ambushed us. Now that he's been crippled, it's like our revenge has been achieved!

Zhou Ye nodded: "No seats!"

"So he's that amazing, able to create ingenious traps at the same time."

They even managed to defeat so many martial artists with hidden and manifest strength; they must have had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support.

Could he easily defeat his two senior brothers, Lin Hu and Liu Mingze, working together?

"Even Senior Brother Duan would be at a disadvantage against such a master!" Liu Tie said to Duan Xuan beside him, "What do you think, Senior Brother Duan?"

Zhang Chen and Zhou Ye also turned their heads: "Junior Brother Duan, what do you think?"
