Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

Liang Xingzhou said in a low voice:

"If I were there and you injured Wu Jingyi, others would see me as bullying the weak."

"After all, it's just not right for me to watch Wu Jingyi lose her left arm and do nothing."

"But if I arrive late, it will at most be considered a failure to observe properly. Even if that old man Ji from Qianyun Martial Arts School is angry, he can't say anything."

Li Chuan nodded knowingly.

I never expected that Liang Xingzhou, who looks like a rough and uncouth warrior, would be so thoughtful.

Indeed, he was able to come to Anning County alone, open a new martial arts school, and steal meat from the many wealthy and powerful families.

How could he be a stupid person?

Many people always pit "force" against "intelligence".

But truly successful people often possess both qualities.

At this point, Liang Xingzhou gave a cold laugh:

"But in my opinion, you haven't done enough. Wu Jingyi is obviously trying to use you to climb the social ladder."

"Using one hand isn't enough, we need to use both hands!"

Li Chuan pressed his throbbing temple.

That's not enough...

I never expected Master Liang to be so bloodthirsty!

Losing both hands is essentially a complete disabling for a martial artist.

That would be a huge grudge.

Liang Xingzhou smiled and said:

"The lesson of one hand can actually be useful. It shows that you act prudently and methodically, and you won't let anger cloud your judgment."

And there's one more thing he didn't mention.

That is the cohesion of all the disciples of Songfeng Martial Arts School.

Facing Li Dan, who ranked twenty-third in the martial arts examination, the disciples were not afraid. Instead, they were united in their hatred of the enemy and fought together.

Although Qin Feng was his deceased last disciple, he still had to admit it.

If Qin Feng were in this situation, everyone would probably just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and mind their own business.

By observing a single leaf, one can understand the changes Li Chuan has brought to the entire martial arts school.

Moreover, Li Chuan is a much better role model than Qin Feng.

Even those with inferior physical constitutions can rewrite their fate through diligence and hard work, and still succeed in becoming a martial arts scholar in Guanzhong a second time.

Compared to the natural strength that comes with superior physique, this is undoubtedly much more inspiring.

During this period, the disciples of Songfeng Martial Arts School became more diligent, which Liang Xingzhou also noticed.

"What a pity, even a mediocre talent would be fine..." Liang Xingzhou sighed inwardly.

Although those with inferior aptitude may have a sliver of hope of succeeding three times, it is ultimately a slim chance.

Those with poor physical constitution will be much slower in accumulating qi and blood.

The success rate of knocking on the gate is much lower.

When the two are combined, the difference is quite significant.

However, Liang Xingzhou was afraid of discouraging Li Chuan, so he didn't say it at this juncture.

"Go back and cultivate diligently. I will take care of the pressure from Qianyun Martial Arts Academy for you." Liang Xingzhou patted Li Chuan on the shoulder.

After bowing and saying goodbye, Li Chuan returned to his courtyard and began practicing martial arts.

【Skill: Embracing Mountain Stance (Mastery)】

[Proficiency: 1982/4000]

[Technique: Tongbei Quan (Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 1349/3000]

[Skill: Lightning Shadow Kick (Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 209/3000]

Looking at his proficiency in his three skills, Li Chuan fell into deep thought.

"We can put aside the training of Thunder Shadow Kick for now, and pick it up again after we break through the Embracing Mountain Stance and Tongbei Fist."

Actually, the best option is to only practice the Baoshan stance and raise your skill level to Huajin as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, he was still human, and his body had its limits.

He could only stand in the Baoshan Zhuang stance for a fixed time each day. Once, he stood there for too long, and his muscles showed signs of dissolving.

But when I switched to practicing Tongbei Quan, I felt much better.

Li Chuan also had some guesses that the load-bearing capacity of each muscle area might have a limit throughout the day.

After making plans for his future training, Li Chuan recalled this encounter.

He was able to dodge Wu Jingyi's palm strike only by relying on his strong fighting instincts and agile footwork.

However, if the enemy is stronger, there is still a possibility of hitting them.

The fighting style he cultivated was entirely focused on killing and had virtually no defensive capabilities.

"Turns out I'm still a fragile character!" Li Chuan chuckled bitterly.

If I had the chance, I would like to learn another footwork technique.

While external martial arts training is undoubtedly the best, it is more difficult to find the right techniques compared to footwork.

Li Chuan shook his head, deciding he could only take it one step at a time and practice for now.

Without hesitation, Li Chuan began a new round of martial arts training.

Heavy breathing and the dull thud of striking wooden stakes echoed in the empty courtyard.

Time passed by little by little, and several days went by in the blink of an eye.

A lot has happened in the past few days.

First, after Li Dan returned to Qianyun Martial Arts School, she spread the whole story with added embellishments.

They deliberately emphasized that Wu Jingyi only wanted to spar, but Li Chuan bullied her because of his superior strength and used his power to attack her viciously!

At first, it aroused the indignation of many people.

But the disciples of Songfeng Martial Arts School are not dead; they will not stand idly by and watch the truth be distorted.

So, in just two days, the true story was revealed.

Upon learning the truth, everyone immediately turned their anger towards Li Danyi, who had fabricated the facts.

It is despicable that he, as a true disciple of Qianyun Martial Arts School, would show such favoritism towards his own disciples.

Wu Jingyi, who was originally portrayed as a "victim," suddenly had her image reversed.

It turns out he was a despicable scoundrel who wanted to ambush and gain fame.

For a time, Li Dan's initial publicity backfired, leading to a barrage of criticism against Qianyun Martial Arts School.

In this world, information cannot circulate as quickly as it did in the previous life.

Therefore, everyone values ​​"character" and "reputation".

Only by relying on a reputation that spreads far and wide can one quickly determine whether a person is worth associating with.

It can be said that Li Danyi's move backfired and had the opposite effect.

Even many unrelated disciples of the Qianyun Martial Arts School were treated differently when they were assigned to external posts.

He made it clear that he would not recruit anyone from the Qianyun Martial Arts School!

Under pressure, Li Danyi and Wu Jingyi, who had lost a hand, had no choice but to apologize.

After several martial arts school disciples left, the turmoil gradually subsided.

Consequently, Li Chuan's image has been significantly altered.

Previously, he was named one of the "four people with the best luck" in this martial arts competition.

The implication is simply that his martial prowess is not worthy of this ranking.

But after this incident, his name was quietly erased from the public eye.

They will become "the three luckiest people".

Everyone agreed that he indeed had the strength to be ranked thirty-sixth.

Of course, people are always interested in new things.

Li Chuan is not a big shot.

In the context of the entire Anning County, it barely makes a ripple.

Soon, everyone's attention shifted from him to the Gathering of Heroes.

The slogan "The martial arts examination is unfair, let's re-rank!" gradually spread, attracting everyone's attention.

No one dared to openly utter the word "injustice," otherwise it would be considered going against the government.

But privately, that's what everyone thinks.
