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

Liang Xingzhou's beard and hair stood on end, and his left hand suddenly unleashed a move called "Throat Piercing and Heart Locking," aimed directly at He Chen's throat.

Caught off guard, He Chen could only frantically raise his arm to block.

In an instant, Liang Xingzhou's aura shifted, and his claws instantly transformed into a fist.

He bypassed He Chen's blockade and punched He Chen directly in the chest.

"There is no fixed pattern to one's actions."

The essence of Tongbei Quan was fully demonstrated by Liang Xingzhou!

"Click!"

A faint cracking sound suddenly rang out.

He Chen staggered back five steps, clutching his bleeding chest, and roared:

"You're fucking insane!"

He never expected that Liang Xingzhou would attack without warning!

You should know that these elderly martial arts masters have less and less vital energy left.

The losses are almost impossible to recover.

Therefore, everyone cherishes their chance to make a move and tries their best to control their qi and blood.

This is why there are far fewer conflicts between those who have mastered the transformation of internal energy than between those who have mastered the manifestation of internal energy!

But Liang Xingzhou just wouldn't follow the rules.

Just to vent his anger for his apprentice Li Chuan, he wasted a chance to strike and punched him.

Is it really necessary?!

Liang Xingzhou said coldly:

"My Songfeng Martial Arts School is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

It would be against the rules not to directly attack Zhang Chengfeng.

He wanted to punch Zhang Chengfeng into the mud.

Do you really think that just because he's old, he can bully his disciples at will?

He Chen's face turned red and then pale, but after a moment of confusion, he could only let out a cold snort.

He also knew that Zhang Chengfeng's actions were not in the right.

If you insist on pursuing the matter, you'll only lose face.

Zhang Chengfeng slowly walked out from behind He Chen, looked directly at Li Chuan, and grinned:

"You can run away on the first day of the month, but you can't hide on the fifteenth. You can't escape the seven-school competition in a month and a half."

With his talent and accumulated experience, he will surely be able to pass the test and become a master of martial arts before the Seven Schools Tournament.

At that time, he will be the only one of the younger generation to achieve the highest level of skill.

That's true invincibility.

Suppressing Li Chuan is a piece of cake!

"Let's go, Chengfeng." He Chen led Zhang Chengfeng out of Songfeng Martial Arts School without saying anything more.

After they left, many disciples said indignantly:

"He didn't even get to fight Senior Brother Li this time, so what will happen in two months?"

"that is!"

"Have you forgotten... Zhang Chengfeng has already broken through to the peak of Dark Force for some time now?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent, their discussions abruptly halting.

This means that Zhang Chengfeng has been honing his qi and blood, making ample preparations for his third attempt at the challenge.

If it succeeds, it will be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, becoming a true high point in Anning County.

Neutralize the force!

Seeing the expressions of anger and sorrow on everyone's faces, Li Chuan couldn't help but ask:

"Master, what is the Seven Schools Martial Arts Competition?"

Liang Xingzhou coughed, covering his mouth, and when he opened his hand again, he saw some bright red blood on it.

Li Chuan quickly replied:

"Master, are you alright?"

Liang Xingzhou waved his hand:

"It's nothing serious, just a backlash from forcibly mobilizing your Qi and blood."

"Fortunately, I've earned enough money these past few days to buy some supplements."

Liang Xingzhou paused:

"The Seven Schools Competition is a grand martial arts event jointly organized by seven martial arts schools in Anning County, held every two years."

"At that time... I'm afraid Zhang Chengfeng will hold you hostage, and a fight will be inevitable."

"If he fails to gain entry, I believe you can win."

"But if he really reaches the Transformation Realm..." Liang Xingzhou looked at Li Chuan deeply, "No matter how well you refine your Qi and blood, you still won't be able to cross this chasm."

Li Chuan paused for a moment and asked:

"How much longer?"

Liang Xingzhou sighed:

"There's only one month and a half left."

Li Chuan thought for a moment and then asked the question that had been bothering him:

"Master, why is Zhang Chengfeng so much stronger when facing other internal force practitioners?"

Liang Xingzhou picked up a persimmon:

"He not only practiced the Mountain-Shaking Fist of Tianyi Martial Arts School, but also learned a palm technique."

"Compared to others, he mastered two fighting styles to a high degree, and he also had excellent physical constitution and honed his qi and blood very well."

"It's not surprising that he's better than others."

Li Chuan then asked:

"Master, if he breaks through to the Transformation Realm during the Seven Halls Martial Arts Competition, what will his actual strength be?"

"If I also break through to the Transformation Realm and perfect the Tongbei Fist, what are my chances of defeating him?"

Liang Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Aren't you oversimplifying the perfection of Tongbei Quan? After I broke through to the Huajin level, I only spent a year perfecting Tongbei Quan."

"Just like that, they were so frightened that they thought my master, who was also your grandmaster, was a god."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liang Xingzhou's lips.

He could never forget the look of astonishment on his master's face back then.

Liang Xingzhou gathered his scattered thoughts and said calmly:

"If you can break through the Transformation Realm, you can perfect the Tongbei Fist."

"One in ten," Liang Xingzhou held up one finger, "There's not even a one in ten chance of failure."

But there's something he hasn't said yet.

Breaking through to the level of Transformation Realm is certainly not an easy task.

Many people of average talent will never cross this threshold in their lifetime.

Even those with superior talent must persevere several times before they have a chance to successfully pass the test.

Li Chuan, with his astonishing comprehension, might have a chance.

But the time was too short...

Li Chuan silently activated the Hunyuan Jade Scroll.

[Host: Li Chuan]

【Skill: Embracing Mountain Stance (Mastery)】

[Proficiency: 3168/4000]

[Technique: Tongbei Quan (Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 2077/3000]

A month and a half?

That's a long time.

As long as the medication is adequate, I can master Baoshan Zhuang and Tongbei Quan in a month and a half.

So easy!

As for the perilous nature of the challenge that Liang Xingzhou had always worried about, the success rate was low.

Even those with superior aptitude may find it difficult to succeed on their first try.

Li Chuan didn't care at all.

If innate talent is useful, what's the point of having cheat codes?

……

After parting ways with Liang Xingzhou, Li Chuan returned to the courtyard.

After practicing martial arts for an hour or so, he felt hungry.

After eating the cooked tiger meat, and feeling the slow rate at which his blood and energy were replenished, Li Chuan felt somewhat melancholy.

"It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality!"

"After taking the Blood-Strengthening Pills for nine days straight, I'm only now realizing how slowly I'm getting tiger meat?"

Li Chuan rubbed his chin.

At this rate, he will at most reach the perfection of the Baoshan Stance before the Seven Halls Tournament.

Tongbei Quan is probably in jeopardy.

Although he had mastered an additional external martial art compared to Zhang Chengfeng, he should have been able to defeat him easily by common sense.

If you don't have a 99% chance of winning, can you call that a sure thing?

Thinking of this, Li Chuan suddenly got up and went to Luo Zheng's courtyard.

"Knock knock knock".

With a creak, Luo Zheng opened the courtyard gate:

"A-Chuan, what brings you here?"

Li Chuan smiled and said:

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong? Can't it be because I miss you?"

Luo Zheng's face darkened:

"I have three wives, so don't mess around with me."

Li Chuan laughed heartily:

"I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Luo Zheng asked suspiciously:

"The truth is often hidden in jokes."

Li Chuan quickly stopped talking and asked about the important matter:

"Is there any way to buy more Blood-Strengthening Pills?"
