Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

"?"

Even though she was somewhat prepared, Zou Qisi was still shocked by Yan Qing's words.

"They...they are both at the Transformation Realm?"

I originally thought it would be a blessing if there was only one expert at the Transformation Realm, but who would have thought that there would be two experts at the Transformation Realm.

"How old are they? They look to be only twenty-two or twenty-three! And they're already at the Transformation Realm?"

Zou Qisi, who had been able to remain calm, was now completely unable to control her expression.

Especially considering that both women appear to be quite young.

At this age, even if you're practicing a minor style of martial arts with significant flaws, youth is still an asset.

As long as one can quickly reach the pinnacle of Transformation Realm, there will definitely be enough time in the future to make up for any shortcomings and reach the Gang Realm, or even higher.

"They are all genuine masters of the Transformation Realm. If Master Zou doesn't believe it, he can try it himself."

Yan Qing was not angry at Zou Qisi's questioning. On the contrary, he made a gesture of invitation, welcoming her to verify.

"No, no, no... I'm just a little shocked! I naturally trust what you do, young master."

Even though Zou Qisi was in shock, she was still able to make the best choice immediately when faced with what Yan Qing said.

However, as she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the two women, never shifting even slightly.

"By the way, when is the match? I'll have them go to Tianjin ahead of time."

Yan Qing asked casually.

Although Wanxing and Lanyue are only at the initial stage of the Transformation Realm, they have rich combat experience. Even if they cannot win the final victory in the martial arts school duel, given their age, they can definitely make a name for themselves and at least not embarrass the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School.

Despite Wanxing and Lanyue appearing to be at a disadvantage in their duel with Yan Qing, it's not a big deal.

But that's because she was sparring with Yan Qing, who now possesses the skills of three great masters. Whether in terms of moves or strength, he can overwhelm the two women.

Moreover, Yan Qing had specifically practiced to address his weaknesses, and he was also extremely familiar with the two women, so it was not surprising that he was able to crush them during the sparring session.

It's important to understand that combining multiple authentic techniques is precisely for achieving the ultimate combat power; if even that can't be done, then...

"The battle will take place on the day of the Beginning of Winter, which is the 8th of next month."

Only then did Zou Qisi turn her attention back to Yan Qing.

Only at this moment did she truly understand the strength of these veteran warlords.

Those martial arts schools are dedicated to training martial artists, but even those who have reached the Transformation Realm are all around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Even if the other two major martial arts schools in Tianjin may have some hidden successors, the Transformation Realm martial artists are estimated to be around twenty-five years old.

The Yan family, without making a sound, managed to find two such young martial arts masters at the Transformation Realm, and... these two women really did look like maids.

This can be seen from Wanxing's skillful actions in serving tea and water.

"That means there are only about ten days left."

Ten days is actually a very tight timeframe, making it difficult to make many preparations.

"Yes, this happened after Tianjin changed hands, so it came suddenly."

Zou Qisi thought Yan Qing felt that time was of the essence, so she quickly added an explanation.

"It's alright. Since you've come all this way, why don't you stay home for a couple more days and then take them away later?"

Yan Qing wanted to let Zou Qisi meet with her father, Yan Fengqi, before leaving. On the one hand, it would let her father know about her achievements, and on the other hand, it would give Zou Qisi some confidence.

In fact, if Chief Steward Cao were to make a breakthrough, it would be an extremely encouraging thing, whether it was to appease his superior Yan Fengqi or to deal with his subordinate Zou Qisi.

However, Yan Qing could not have predicted Chief Steward Cao's breakthrough, so he could only offer some comfort to both sides in other ways. This was a way to reassure both sides and put people at ease.

"I will follow your orders, young master!"

Zou Qisi turned her gaze back to the two women. This matter was now settled, so staying a few more days wouldn't matter.

That night, Zou Qisi stayed at Yan Qing's courtyard, while Yan Qing meditated and then fell asleep with Lan Yue in his arms.

The next day, Yan Qing did not start cultivating immediately after getting up, but went to the small courtyard where his father, Yan Fengqi, lived.

After spending some time in the courtyard where his father Yan Fengqi lived, Yan Qing returned to the cultivation room in the courtyard to continue his cultivation.

At this moment, Yan Qing was only one step away from the completion of the second stage of Dark Force.

In the morning, Wanxing and Lanyue did not spar with Yan Qing, but after Yan Qing practiced in front of the bronze figure for a while, his progress bar still increased rapidly.

"Clang clang clang~~"

At this moment, Yan Qing continued to strike the bronze figure with Baguazhang, and the bell inside the bronze figure would make a crisp sound with each strike of Yan Qing, never falling.

Finally, Yan Qing took a picture and slapped his palm on the side of the bronze figure's face.

"Clang clang clang~~"

As Yan Qing's palm struck down, the clear, melodious sound of bells rang out again from inside the bronze figure.

『Inner Three Harmonies: Qi and Intention in Harmony 2500/2500』

『Inner Three Harmonies: Mind and Heart in Harmony 1743/2500』

But the words reappeared before Yan Qing's eyes.

Finally, the second stage of Dark Force was completed, and Yan Qing was only one step away from the limit of Dark Force.

"The progress bar is over 700, so it will only take about ten days at most."

Looking at the words that appeared before him, Yan Qing smiled. He was only one step away from reaching the Transformation Realm.

"Young Master, the banquet is ready."

Just as Yan Qing stopped to check the progress bar, Lan Yue entered the cultivation room, bowed, and spoke.

"Has Director Zou been notified yet?"

Yan Qing still had a smile on his lips. At this moment, he had mastered the "Martial Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike" to perfection.

With every gesture, Yan Qing could condense his strength into needles and then inject them into his opponent's body.

If it hits an ordinary spot, the power might not be noticeable, but once Yan Qing strikes the enemy's thirty-six acupoints, its power is absolutely astonishing.

The "Martial Arts Manual of Acupoint Strike" clearly marks the 36 fatal acupoints of the human body. Striking any one of these 36 acupoints can easily kill a person.

Yan Qing may not know the other aspects, but given his current level of skill, Wanxing and Lanyue, who are only at the initial stage of the Transformation Realm, are absolutely no match for Yan Qing's "Martial Heavenly Gang Acupoint Strike".

This acupoint striking technique made Yan Qing's strength extremely condensed, and the two women, with their initial stage of Transformation Realm cultivation, were simply unable to neutralize Yan Qing's burst of hidden strength in the first instance.

"Master Zou is already waiting, and the warlord has also set off from the campus."

Lan Yue held a towel in her hand and slowly wiped the sweat from Yan Qing's head.
