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

Chapter 98 Betting

"I understand now. Old Zhou once said that those major martial arts families and powerful forces would expose their children to martial arts from a young age."

In addition to teaching them Wuji stance training, they will also be taught internal cultivation methods and breathing techniques.

Therefore, there are often young martial artists who break through to the Transformation Realm at the age of fourteen or fifteen, or even eleven or twelve.

Besides having exceptional physical constitution, abundant resources that are inexhaustible, and a crazy accumulation of rare and precious materials, internal cultivation methods such as breathing techniques played an indispensable role.

Now that I have broken through to the Transformation Realm, this breathing technique, as an internal cultivation method to propel my realm to the Transformation Realm, will naturally rise in level as well.

"As expected of an internal cultivation method that ordinary people can hardly attain, it is truly profound!"

"Now that I've reached the Transformation Realm, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Looking across the entire Yellow Snake County, there are very few martial artists at the Transformation Realm. I guess I've managed to barely survive!

Duan Xuan smiled and shook his head, showing no pride in breaking through to the Transformation Realm.

The medicine for Zhou Fang's leg injury failed again, and the Scaled Python Martial Arts School remained closed, so no inside information could be obtained.

Despite Duan Xuan's repeated attempts, he failed to find an opportunity to lure out Jiang Zhongkun, the master of the Scaled Python Martial Arts School, and thus infiltrate the school to seize the elixir.

He didn't know whether his cousin Duan Xu had recovered from his injuries and rebuilt his bones.

To obtain such precious healing pills and medicinal herbs, Duan Xuan could only wait for the hunting festivals held by the merchant guilds.

Prior to this, he also had no idea whether Jiang Zhongkun and others had launched their revenge against Poshan Martial Arts School.

And even more crucially, there are the demonic beasts in the deep mountains; their demonic cores and hides have already proven their existence.

These three threats were like a sword hanging over his head.

His defensive power is strong, but it's not enough to resolve the crisis caused by multiple forces.

"Right now, we need to improve the Mountain-Breaking Fist to perfection as soon as possible."

The Mountain-Breaking Fist is also a very strange martial art, but now is not the time to get to the bottom of it.

Once I reach perfection, even Master Chen Feng will be unable to do anything to me.

As for the Nine Yang Breathing Technique, it was an unexpected bonus. Its upper limit is unknown, but it's enough for Huangshe County.

If this skill can also greatly enhance combat capabilities, passing it on to Zhao Hui and his sister will definitely strengthen the Black Wolf Stronghold!

Having planned what he needed to do in the next few months, Duan Xuan focused all his attention on consolidating his Transformation Realm.

Ten days later.

The heavy snow finally stopped, and roads between villages and towns were reopened.

Duan Xuan was still practicing his martial arts in the courtyard when he received a warm visit from his junior brother Liu Tie from the martial arts school.

"Senior Brother Duan, the hunting feast organized by the major merchants will begin in a couple of days."

My master asked me to tell you that if you're not too busy, you should come and participate.

You can broaden your horizons and put your hunting skills to good use, Senior Brother Duan.

Hearing that the rewards were very generous, the merchants ventured into the deep mountains before the heavy snow blocked the way.

I accidentally picked three incredibly precious medicinal herbs, one of which seemed to be called something like Marrow Cleansing Grass.

The people in the trading company didn't know what this thing was used for, they only knew what it was called.

It sounded so mysterious, I decided to keep it as the final reward!

Duan Xuan's breath hitched. He had intended to wait for Liu Tie to finish speaking before politely declining the martial arts school's invitation.

But upon hearing the rest, he was immediately intrigued, because this herb was one of the main ingredients of the Marrow Cleansing and Bone Rebuilding Pill.

"Truly, there's always a way out! There's hope for Mother's legs!" Duan Xuan was overjoyed. "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Liu Tie."

Please convey to Master that Duan Xuan will definitely attend the grand event on time!

Liu Tie nodded frantically: "This grand event allows teams of four to participate. Senior Brother Duan, I need to beg for your coattails!"

Without a doubt, Liu Tieduan invited Zhang Chen and Zhou Ye as his other two teammates.

Duan Xuan did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

After Liu Tie left, Duan Xuan resumed his regular breathing and his footsteps landed steadily on the ground.

With a roar, his blood and qi surged, and his fist, carrying a powerful force, swept out.

Wang family, within Huangshe County.

"Yan'er, was the decision to cooperate with Renhetang made by you?" Wang Qingyan's mother, Shen Yu, put down her chopsticks and asked calmly.

Since her daughter was rescued on the mountain, she has been investigating who secretly helped her, but to no avail.

He didn't dwell on it because he had other important family matters to attend to.

Until recently, she discovered that the people from Renhetang were getting quite close to her daughter.

Because of Jin Yutang's influence, Renhetang has been ostracized by many forces in the inner city, making it very difficult for them to return and develop in the inner city.

But they not only managed to squeeze a small amount of power back into the inner city.

Even the pills used by the martial artists enshrined in their own courtyard have doubled in price.

Their strength had already far surpassed that of the other courtyards in terms of offerings.

Wang Qingyan nodded obediently.

Shen Yun managed to carve out a place for herself in the ruthless Wang family.

Furthermore, taking away many of the Wang family's profitable assets demonstrates his exceptional abilities.

He only needed to consider it briefly to know that this matter would be entirely beneficial to the small courtyard and to his daughter's future takeover of the family business.

Others may fear Jin Yutang, but the Wang family is not.

Moreover, those vile women from the third and seventh wives had long ago secretly conspired with Jin Yutang and others, causing Shen Yu's business to be greatly affected.

She has been looking for a force in the elixir industry that she can use or that has great potential that she can support.

Although Renhetang is weak, it may be able to rise again from the outlying counties and gain a foothold under the suppression of many forces such as Jinyutang and Fumanlou.

This is enough to prove its amazing potential, plus Renhetang was originally an established force in Neixian County.

Once he returns to the county, his hidden supporters will flock to him.

But what Shen Yu truly saw was the connection between the two: "Your cooperation with Renhetang, could it be the work of that Black Wolf?"

Wang Qingyan had naturally heard about the Black Wolf Guest.

With Liu Chunmei's guidance, she naturally realized that this person was Duan Xuan, who had saved her.

However, she and Liu Chunmei had already agreed to keep this secret for Duan Xuan.

Then she exclaimed, "Mom, you can see right through me! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Shen Yu was startled.

Sure enough, the one who saved his daughter was the legendary Black Wolf.

At first glance, it seems that the Black Wolf must need something from his daughter in some way.

In an instant, she remembered what the soldiers guarding the city had told her when she returned to the city that day.

The daughter used the token to allow the owner of the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School in the outer city to enter the city, and couldn't help but murmur, "Could this Black Wolf Guest be a member of the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School?"

Seeing her mother's expression, Wang Qingyan immediately understood that she was trying to figure out the identity of the Black Wolf.

Fearing that she might actually figure it out, she quickly interrupted, "Mother, which martial arts school do you favor for this hunting festival?"

Shen Yu beckoned, and a maid came in to help her change clothes and do her hair: "Every year, the favorite to win the championship is Tianhe Martial Arts School in the inner city."

Longmen Escort Agency is also doing well this year, with the Huang family betting on the Outer City Scale Python Martial Arts School.

Although three promising young talents with hidden strength were lost, Jiang Zhongkun's son, Jiang Yun, was brought back from the Dragon Elephant Academy.

As a master of internal energy transformation, he also possesses the qualities to lead a team to victory.

However, what Mother wants to suppress this year is—the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School. What does Yan'er think?

"Miss, don't look up, don't look up!" Liu Chunmei, who walked in from the side, gently reminded her.

Wang Qingyan's body trembled slightly, but she still raised her head with a hint of guilt.

Suddenly, he noticed his mother's experienced eyes staring at him through the bronze mirror, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
