The Martial Saint begins by collecting corpses.

The next day, at the martial arts training ground.

Lu Ming, Da Hu, and Monkey arrived at this place. After an hour of cultivation, Chen Yihui suddenly called out:

"It's almost time. Today I'll continue teaching you the Canglang Fist techniques."

Upon hearing this, Da Hu immediately stopped his practice and followed Chen Yihui.

The monkey looked at Da Hu with some envy. After becoming a martial artist, Da Hu was called aside to be taught the fighting techniques of the Canglang Fist, which started yesterday.

At this moment, he dared not look at Lu Ming's expression. After all, Lu Ming was also a martial artist. Although he did not become a martial artist through the Canglang Stance Technique, he had theoretically met the requirements for practicing fighting techniques.

However, Chen Yihui did not teach Lu Ming.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, still standing in the Canglang stance.

Even without learning the Canglang Fist fighting style, he still had the Mighty Fist, the Fierce Tiger Fist, and the First Line Strike, so he was not lacking in martial arts skills.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Da Hu said something to Chen Yihui, which caused Chen Yihui to return and calmly say to Lu Ming:

"I've heard about what happened yesterday, but just now Da Hu told me that you killed Li Hu with a single blow?"

Lu Ming said, "To be precise, I first used a powerful punch to test him, and then when I saw him retreat, I killed him with a single strike."

Chen Yihui nodded slightly:

"It seems that although your physical talent is average, your comprehension in martial arts combat may be quite good."

"You can also learn the fighting style of Canglang Fist."

After Chen Yihui finished speaking, he turned and left.

On the other side of the training ground, Da Hu stood there waving at Lu Ming and grinning.

Lu Ming chuckled: "Then thank you very much, Instructor Chen."

The monkey stood there, watching Lu Ming go over there all alone, and sighed.

Well, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, it's not his place to worry about this.

"Canglang Fist has three forms."

"The first move, 'The body is as solid as a rock.' This is a method for controlling qi and blood and concealing one's aura. After mastering it, ordinary people cannot discern your qi and blood cultivation level."

"The second move, 'A heart filled with raging winds.' If calmness and tranquility represent the gathering of vital energy, then 'a heart filled with raging winds' represents the outward release of vital energy. Through specific combinations, it ultimately achieves a majestic effect, with eyes like lightning that give people a sense of oppression."

"There was once a senior who mastered this skill to an extremely high level, and he scared someone to death."

"The third move, Waves Overlapping a Thousand Times, is the true method of combat. Blood and qi surge like waves, and with each layer that overlaps, the power increases. As long as the physical body can withstand it, it can be stacked a thousand times, with endless power."

"Of course, no one has been able to reach this level yet."

"Today I will teach you how to have no wind or waves..."

Lu Ming listened attentively, and as Chen Yihui explained with both hands and mouth, his eyes gradually opened, and he immediately realized that Canglang Fist was indeed incomparable to Fierce Tiger Fist or Mighty Fist.

Even though they are both martial arts, the Canglang Fist is far superior to those inferior martial arts techniques.

After resting until noon, Lu Ming felt refreshed. He had lunch with Monkey, Tiger, and Wolf, and then headed straight for Qingping Street.

When they arrived at Qingping Street, they found a group of people on the street who saw them from afar. They immediately turned around and ran without hesitation, fleeing at the mere sight of them!

The people of Qingping Street cheered with joy:

"Master Lu is here! Master Lu is here!"

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Lu Ming shook his head, sighed, and muttered:

"My reputation... seems a bit too good."

Seeing the people eagerly handing over money, Lu Ming perked up. Thankfully, the people wouldn't run away. He said to Ah Lang:

"Take the money."

"Yes." Wolf, Tiger, and Monkey were all excited and started filling the sacks with money.

Unfortunately, the Giant Power Gang was well-prepared, and all the assets in their mansion had already been transferred away.

……

"This is outrageous! Lu Ming just suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

Several streets away from the county government office, in a private room of a restaurant, sat several fierce-looking men, among whom was Du Tianli, the leader of the Juli Gang.

He had just fled Qingping Street in a panic, and now looked utterly aggrieved.

"Yesterday, Li Hu spoke to him in a nice tone, but he said he came specifically to tease him and then chopped him down with a knife."

"He came to my Qingping Street again today. If this continues, won't he start collecting protection money from the whole city?"

"I think the Iron Palm Gang and the Quick Knife Society will be here soon too."

"What do you guys think we should do?"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, and one person said with a menacing look:

"He's just a skin-training martial artist; let's team up and kill him."

The other person frowned and said:

"He works for the county government; do you dare offend them?"

Another person said:

"So what if it's the county government? The Emperor of Dasheng is at the height of his power, and the county government doesn't dare to show its face. Otherwise, would we dare to collect protection money on Qingping Street and Qingyun Street?"

"Moreover, I inquired and found out that Lu Ming used to be just a corpse collector who was almost beaten to death by that young master Zhao Meng and ended up seeking refuge with the county magistrate's government in a sorry state."

Even if he dies, the county government may not necessarily avenge him.

Another person said, "That's right, our people have also discovered Zhao Meng's men lurking in Qingping Street, they're probably keeping an eye on Lu Ming."

Du Tianli frowned and said, "But if that's the case, what if he only stays in the back and front streets, doesn't come out, slowly accumulates his strength, and then sweeps across the land? Are we just supposed to wait to die?"

"It's simple. Didn't he take protection money? Just kill a few craftsmen, won't that solve the problem?"

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a fierce-looking man barged into the room, speaking coldly.

The murderous aura emanating from him made everyone feel uneasy. As he thought of hatred, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes, and he said in a slightly ferocious tone:

"Let's see how he protects it!"

Among those present, someone suddenly had their pupils shrink and said:

"The founder of the martial arts school... Sun Ji!"

……

For the next twenty-odd days, in addition to practicing the Canglang Stance Technique, Lu Ming also began practicing the Canglang Fist, learning the first move, Body as Solid as a Rock; the second move, Heart Like a Gale; and the third move, Waves Overlapping a Thousand Times.

But it's just that I've memorized these moves and their variations, barely scratching the surface.

After he got the money, he and the monkey, like the tiger, drank a bowl of Qi-boosting powder every day.

It can only be said that the monkey's innate talent is indeed strong. Although it has been drinking Qi-tonifying powder every day for more than a month, it still shows no signs of mastering the basics.

However, because he possessed the skill of refining skin, he gradually felt the benefits of stance training.

Originally, his qi and blood were very weak, but now, although he has not broken through, he feels much more stable, which is the foundation for continuing to break through.

That day, in the training ground, Da Hu was standing in his stance when he suddenly shouted:

"Instructor Chen! I feel like my skin has suddenly become harder, what's going on?"

Chen Yihui, who had been deep in thought with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes upon hearing this, flashed to Da Hu's side, put his arm around Da Hu's shoulder, and asked:

"Do you feel like your skin is flushed with blood? Do you clearly feel that all parts of your skin are a single, unified whole?"

Da Hu nodded: "Yes, yes, that's it."

Chen Yihui still couldn't believe it, and suddenly took out a dagger from his body and lightly slashed at Da Hu's arm.

Lu Ming and the monkey standing to the side narrowed their eyes, looking somewhat surprised and uncertain.

As Chen Yihui's dagger slashed down, it only left a shallow white mark on Da Hu's arm, without actually cutting it open.

Upon seeing this, the tiger exclaimed with delight:

"Am I invulnerable to swords and spears?"
