Killing Monks

Chu Kuangjun continued:

"It is said that the Kowloon Martial Arts Academy is known for training fierce generals in the army and heroes in the martial arts world. The academy's martial arts techniques are fierce and domineering, focusing on tempering the muscles, bones and blood, and cultivating the most yang and strong true qi."

"The students of the academy, regardless of their background, are all vigorous, masculine, and courageous men!"

"I want to go there and see if I can learn some truly 'masculine' techniques to make myself more manly."

In the end, his tone was full of longing, as if the "Kowloon Martial Arts Academy" was the sacred place where he could get rid of his appearance and become a "real man".

Guangyuan and Lu Fei fell silent again.

Looking at Chu Kuangjun's stunningly beautiful face, capable of eclipsing the sun and moon, and imagining him trying to blend in with a group of muscular, thunderous, and masculine men to cultivate his "Ultimate Yang and Ultimate Strength" technique...

The scene was truly... too beautiful.

"Ahem..." Lu Fei cleared his throat and said, "That's quite a coincidence. We're both going to Qujiang County too. Why don't we travel together?"

He clasped his hands in a relaxed gesture, a touch of boldness in his movements: "Very well! Then I'll be troubling you two gentlemen along the way!"

As a result, the team heading to Qujiang expanded from two to three people.

Qujiang County is named after the Qujiang River, which flows through the entire county and has a mighty current.

All three were martial artists and moved very fast. In just three days, they arrived outside Qujiang County, covered in dust.

The three of them traveled together and spent a lot of time together, and they became quite familiar with each other.

Although Chu Kuangjun has a "feminine" appearance, he is surprisingly generous and righteous, with the demeanor of an ancient knight-errant.

He was simple-minded and straightforward. Once he recognized that Guangyuan and Lufei were trustworthy people, he treated them with sincerity.

What made Lu Fei feel even more compatible was that Chu Kuangjun was also someone who couldn't tolerate any injustice.

When they encounter thugs bullying vendors or thugs demanding protection money on the road, before Guangyuan and Lufei can even make a move, Chu Kuangjun himself can't stand it anymore and is often the first to jump out.

"If I were to swallow my anger and suffer injustice, what would be the point of practicing martial arts?"

However, he also has his own principles and opinions.

After several such actions, he privately said to Guangyuan in a tactful manner, "Monk Guangyuan, I admire your strong sense of justice and hatred of evil."

"But... sometimes, I feel that your bloodlust seems... a bit too much."

"Some people may have just been confused for a moment, or were forced by life's circumstances; their crimes do not warrant death."

"If we could give them a chance to repent and start anew, perhaps... it would be better than killing them outright?"

Guangyuan simply shook his head and said, "But most people can't change their ways. Letting them go will only harm others."

"Are you taking a gamble that they'll change their ways?"

"Should we take the gamble and see if they become even more aggressive after we leave?"

Chu Kuangjun remained silent.

He didn't know what the outcome of this bet would be!

"You seem to be going a bit too far," Chu Kuangjun finally said.

The scene in Qujiang County is quite different from other places. The most eye-catching feature is the presence of martial artists in special attire that can be seen everywhere on the streets.

They mostly wore ordinary trousers or shorts, looking neat and capable.

However, he was wearing a peculiar garment on his upper body, resembling a close-fitting short jacket or a sleeveless vest, made of tough fabric that tightly wrapped around his torso.

Most importantly, the front is wide open!

He even went so far as to bare his chest, generously displaying his bronze muscles, which had been honed through countless trials and were as angular as bricks!

The level of muscle development in some of them is simply astonishing.

The bulging pectoral muscles, the chiseled eight-pack abs, and the arm and back muscles that coil and bulge like steel wires... are full of primal power and visual impact!

Its dimensions and separation are several times more exaggerated than those of the top bodybuilders that Guangyuan saw in videos in his previous life!

Especially some giants who are over two meters tall, like iron towers, with arms as thick as a normal person's thighs, and necks almost as wide as their heads, seem to make the ground tremble slightly when they walk.

The overwhelming sense of oppression was enough to make ordinary people want to stay away.

And these people are not just one or two, but a whole group!

Wearing their signature "open-chested vests," they formed a somewhat disorganized line and ran around the city on the wide main street of Qujiang County, chanting rough and deep slogans with heavy but unified steps.

This has almost become a fixed "sight" in Qujiang County.

On the back of their vests were two striking characters embroidered in bold calligraphy: "Kowloon".

Without a doubt, this is a student of the top martial arts academy in Northern Zhou, the Nine Dragons Martial Academy!

Chu Kuangjun's eyes lit up.

This is the true spirit of manhood in his mind!

Masculine!

Powerful!

It is full of the most primal and purest power and beauty!

Compared to the people from the Kowloon Martial Arts Academy, my "peerless beauty" is utterly pathetic!

This is the image a man should have!

He turned around abruptly and solemnly clasped his hands in thanks to Guangyuan and Lufei: "My two brothers! Thank you for your companionship along the way!"

"I'm going to register at the Kowloon Martial Arts Academy right now! Farewell!"

"If fate allows, we'll meet again in the martial world!"

Guangyuan glanced at the "muscular bulges" running in the distance, then looked at Chu Kuangjun's "beautiful face" filled with longing.

He had a lot to say but still said, "Take care, Brother Chu!"

Lu Fei also said, "I wish you... well, that you master the divine skill soon and achieve your goals!"

He simply couldn't think of a more suitable blessing.

After seeing off the ambitious Chu Kuangjun, Lu Fei said to Guangyuan, "Alright, it's time for us to go to the Tang family."

He calculated the days: "Today is already August 12th, and there are only a few days left until August 15th. I need to go and say hello in advance."

Guangyuan shook his head: "I'm not going to the Tang family."

"Aren't you coming with me?" Lu Fei asked in surprise.

Guangyuan looked at him speechlessly: "That was someone else inviting you to a family dinner, a private dinner."

"I'm an outsider, neither a close relative nor an old friend of the Tang family. What would I be doing following you? Just to freeload?"

Although he wasn't very socially adept, he knew basic etiquette.

This is not a place he should be in.

Lu Fei scratched his head, trying to explain, "Oh, it's not that complicated! Miss Tang and I are just ordinary friends from the martial arts world."

"Her family knows I don't have any connections; I was just there to give her some support and prove that she's not associating with bad people. We're all just江湖人 (jianghu people), we don't stand on ceremony!"

"Yes, I know you are just ordinary friends from the martial arts world." Guangyuan nodded.

"Yes, so..."

"So I'm not going," Guangyuan interrupted him.

"..." Lu Fei was momentarily speechless, then said helplessly, "Then...where are you going? Are you going to find an inn in Qujiang County to wait for me?"

Guangyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'll find a temple to stay at for a few days."
