Chapter 103 Marrow Cleansing Master, One Punch!
At 3 p.m.,
The sunlight was intense, streaming through the window and drawing a line between light and shadow inside the room, where dust motes danced, like tiny lives struggling in the beams of light.
In the martial arts hall
"Clang!"
"Clang!" "Clang!"
The clash of swords and spears was incessant, but in every exchange, Li Xijun held an absolute advantage.
In terms of both strength and technique, he completely overwhelmed Jiang Qiyue.
Even Lisa, who was watching from the sidelines, saw it as a one-sided massacre.
"The spear thrust is weak! The spear strike is too slow!"
"Even a fool wouldn't be fooled by a feint; the continuous thrusts of his spear are like a fine drizzle."
"Too weak! Where did your newly improved level 11.4 strength go? Why couldn't you use it?"
"waste!"
"You still want to break into the top three in the grade like this!"
"Push harder, I'll make you tighten your legs and engage your glutes and thighs!"
At this moment, Li Xijun resembled an extremely strict instructor.
With one hand, he wielded a sword technique that seemed capable of cleaving rivers, its weight as heavy as a mountain, relentlessly pressuring Jiang Qiyue.
On the one hand, constantly stimulate the other person's mind, pointing out every minor mistake they make.
"Remember! If you want to achieve the unity of mind, body, and weapon, and enter the realm of man and weapon as one, to become a true powerhouse..."
"Then pour the power of your soul into the spear in your hand, and feel the humiliation and anger that befell you!"
"Think about your pathetic performance in the mythical world, your low ranking!"
Think about how you feel right now!
"Then discard everything from the outside world and pour it into the weapon!"
Li Xijun continuously used his spiritual powers to influence the other party, constantly intensifying and guiding the girl's anger.
at last,
When Jiang Qiyue turned around again, the spear she thrust out had undergone a change.
The gun's speed was increasing rapidly, and its power was also increasing significantly, with a powerful force attempting to impact the long sword in Li Xijun's hand.
"Bang!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Her marksmanship became increasingly smooth, and she could almost easily control it, each thrust of the spear brimming with spirit.
The crimson spear danced in the martial arts hall, resembling a phoenix soaring through the heavens with a cry of its wings.
"Man and gun become one."
Having recovered from that peculiar state, Jiang Qiyue slowly withdrew from her stance, still savoring the feeling she had just experienced.
"This is the state of 'mind, body, and vessel' as one, which is indeed on a completely different level from before."
She looked at Li Xijun gratefully and said:
"Thank you, I was able to cross this threshold thanks to your help."
She has a strong talent for cultivation, coupled with extremely high martial arts spirituality. After cultivating the seven advanced cultivation methods, her life level is no longer a problem.
Her only weakness was her poor martial arts skills, which prevented her from becoming one of the top performers.
Now it's finally all complete.
"Well, I only put a little pressure on you and gave you a little stimulation."
Li Xijun, who was just warming up, didn't care about any of that.
After confirming that the other party had made a breakthrough, he resigned and left, returning to his private villa while it was still light.
After returning home,
Li Xijun had already gotten used to crawling into the bathroom to travel through time.
Dasheng World
Now, when Li Xijun appears, especially when he goes to the Killing Martial Arts School, he no longer walks on rooftops.
in contrast,
Before each trip to the martial arts school, he would deliberately make a scene on a busy street.
Let most interested people know that Li Xijun is a regular at the martial arts school.
Zhang Fuhu, the Martial Saint who had reached the Blood Exchange Realm at the Killing Body Martial Arts School, was bedridden.
The highest level martial arts master in the school is indeed the one who refines dirt, but Li Xijun is still there.
In this way, his identity as a meditating cultivator and his demonstrated talent and potential are enough to deter some dim-witted villains, or those who are blinded by greed and easily provoked, from daring to cause trouble at the martial arts school.
This time is no different.
He had previously obtained the [Earth Core Tempering Milk] and spent more than half a month in seclusion with Teacher Lisa to improve his life level, so he hadn't shown up for a long time.
The first thing I did upon returning to Dasheng World in Tianjin was...
Naturally, he went to a grand restaurant on the most bustling commercial street and ordered a table full of delicious and visually appealing medicinal dishes.
To satisfy my cravings after not eating much for more than half a month, and at the same time, to show my face to all the forces in Tianjin.
After a while, when the meal was almost finished...
"Thump thump thump"
The wooden stairs creaked as powerful bodies and footsteps trod upon them.
This attracted the attention of diners on the upper floors of the restaurant. A robust man in his fifties with a beard and a long gown, and a somewhat weathered face, walked up the stairs and headed straight for the top floor.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the wealthy and powerful figures upstairs surprisingly all showed friendly smiles and quickly stepped forward to greet him with clasped hands.
"Master Fang!"
"Master Fang, your vitality is growing stronger every day. It seems you might become a Martial Saint within a few years!"
"Brother Fang, how have you been?"
"No wonder the magpies in my house kept chirping today; turns out it was because I ran into Master Fang!"
The visitor was none other than Fang Tianying, the martial arts master and marrow cleansing grandmaster of Tianying Martial Arts School, which had gained as much attention this year as Shashen Martial Arts School.
Although ordinary low-level martial artists are not very valuable, even a master of filth martial arts is nothing more than a martial arts graduate, who can become a martial arts school instructor or a county lieutenant in a small inland county.
However, once one passes through the marrow cleansing, a hurdle that eliminates 99% of corrupt martial artists, one can achieve great success.
Martial artists who have achieved the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing are capable of becoming powerful local tyrants in their respective prefectures and counties, roaming the martial world of Dasheng. Martial artists and even cultivators who have achieved the Refinement of Spirit and Meditation must respectfully address them as Grandmaster.
Even in major cities like Tianjin, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, where countless merchants and cultivators from across the continent interact, they are still upper-class figures who can get a share of the pie.
Plus,
Previously, the Seven Gods Church held a martial arts competition in Tianjin.
Countless disciples from various families died or were injured, and many martial artists also perished in the martial arts tournament for those who practiced filth.
This wave directly tore off the mask of many martial arts schools in Tianjin.
It's easy to tell which martial arts school teaches real skills and which martial arts instructors are truly skilled.
Apart from the martial arts school where Li Xijun works,
The Sky Eagle Martial Arts School, founded by this master who has achieved the highest level of marrow cleansing, boasts the best performance record and is now extremely famous.
"Thank you all for your hospitality, but I have other matters to attend to."
Master Fang returned the greeting with clasped hands, showing proper etiquette, but continued walking straight to the top floor without stopping.
The group of wealthy businessmen and powerful figures became even more curious, and their eyes followed Fang Tianying all the way to the table opposite Li Xijun.
Immediately, everyone started discussing it.
However, most people subconsciously felt that Tianying Martial Arts School thought Zhang Wusheng was seriously injured and bedridden, and wanted to talk to Li Xijun, the current leader of the martial arts school, so that the two sides could sit down and redistribute the spoils.
After all, a martial arts master like the Blood Transformation Martial Saint can kill a Nascent Soul cultivator within a hundred paces.
While there might be some people in the entire Dasheng region if you were to gather them together, their numbers are scattered across the country, making them extremely few.
In the entire city of Tianjin, there are only two martial saints who have reached the Blood Transformation Realm. One is Zhang Fuhu, who is currently bedridden, and the other is an elderly martial saint who is jointly supported by the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce and almost never shows his face.
Given Zhang Fuhu's current state, it's understandable that Fang Tianying, as a top marrow cleansing master in Tianjin, would have designs on him.
Li Xijun also looked at the Marrow Cleansing Master in front of him with great interest, wanting to see what the other party meant.
"I am several decades older than you and a master of the Marrow Cleansing Cultivation ...
Fang Tianying also sat down calmly.
He picked up the wine jug, poured himself a cup, drank it, and then spoke loudly without any hesitation:
"Nephew, you disappeared for quite some time recently, and many hyenas have set their sights on the Killing Body Martial Arts School."
"At the time, I secretly intervened and intimidated those people, thus settling the matter."
"In this way, the favor you did for killing that Knight William, helping me avenge the loss of my Sky Eagle Martial Arts School's martial arts instructor, is considered even. What do you say?"
Li Xijun nodded slightly in agreement.
"Of course, on behalf of my fellow disciples at the Killing Body Martial Arts School, I thank Uncle Fang."
"Good, my junior brother speaks frankly indeed."
Seeing the young man's decisive and unpretentious manner, Fang Tianying admired him even more.
"The story of Zhang Wusheng has now spread. I admire Old Master Zhang for his character. Hearing that my nephew used the family heirloom from the Western Continent to save Old Master Zhang's life, I admire my nephew even more."
Having said that, he reached for another glass of old wine, downed it in one gulp, poured himself another, drank that too, revealed the bottom of the glass, and loudly proclaimed:
"Two cups of wine, one to Old Master Zhang, and one to my nephew."
"After three cups, I spoke with my nephew on behalf of the Sky Eagle Martial Arts School about matters concerning both schools."
"Although my nephew is a prodigy, he is still young and has not yet undergone marrow cleansing. I'm afraid he may not be able to maintain the foundation and wealth that Zhang Wusheng has built."
"I am here today with a proposal: My Sky Eagle Martial Arts School can help my nephew protect his property, guaranteeing that the business will not be any worse than in previous years. The Killing Body Martial Arts School will receive 60% of the profits every year until my nephew achieves the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing. At that time, the property will be returned in full, without any difference."
"I, Fang Tianying, swear before the people of Tianjin, young and old, that I will never break my promise."
"What does my junior disciple think?"
After Fang Tianying finished speaking, he remained silent and showed no imposing manner, just like a businessman conducting business on a normal day.
However, seeing that his expression remained calm and composed, even with Li Xijun's Nascent Soul Realm, she did not sense the slightest malice.
Taking into account the reputation of Sky Eagle Martial Arts School over the years and the other party's reputation,
Li Xijun was certain that the other party had indeed come to propose cooperation in good faith.
After all, in Fang Tianying's eyes, the Killing Body Martial Arts School was indeed not up to par with its original reputation as a large business.
He stepped in to protect the area, allowing Li Xijun to develop on his own. During this time, Tianying Martial Arts School took a cut of the protection fees, making it a good deal.
The problem is that Li Xijun doesn't need any of these things now.
Thinking of this,
Li Xijun felt somewhat helpless. She wished the other party had been a thief with malicious intent, trying to get something for nothing.
He would have already killed him and left him in this bustling part of Tianjin, thus resolving the martial arts school's previous predicament.
But this Fang Tianying is not one of them.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle-Master. However, I am about to undergo a marrow cleansing, and I need to discuss this matter with my fellow disciples at the martial arts school. Let's postpone this discussion for another day."
Li Xijun used delaying tactics to politely decline.
Fang Tianying wasn't annoyed that the other party hadn't agreed; he was simply surprised and said:
"Your martial arts skills have improved so quickly?"
"Just lucky."
Li Xijun smiled slightly.
"Very well, very well then I will not say anything more."
Fang Tianying shook his head, then looked at Li Xijun and instructed her:
"You must be extremely careful during the marrow cleansing process, and never be too hasty."
At this point, he seemed a little regretful.
"In the Marrow Cleansing Realm, the best approach is to accumulate enough internal energy to cleanse the spinal cord in one go. The spinal cord connects to the brain and the four limbs. Once cleansing is complete, you've essentially reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and the rest will be relatively easy."
"What a pity, what a pity. Given your current state, you can only first cleanse your marrow and limbs to improve your strength."
After speaking, he couldn't help but whisper again, using his inner energy to condense sound into a thread, and told Li Xijun about many key points of marrow cleansing. Then he drank the rest of the wine in the pot and left the restaurant.
As Fang Tianying walked out the door, he was still somewhat reluctant to leave.
He stood at the street corner, looked back at the roof of the restaurant, and couldn't help but murmur:
"Why can't I find a disciple with such qualities and character, with such exceptional talent? Alas!"
Thinking of this, he felt even more heartbroken than if the cooperation had failed, and he couldn't help but pound his thigh repeatedly.
It was at this moment that
He suddenly sensed something, and abruptly looked up.
Amidst gasps of surprise from many at the intersection
They spotted a martial artist dressed in standard night clothes, exuding the powerful aura of a Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster.
Like a ferocious bird, he stretched out his arms and smashed through the wall of the top floor of the restaurant. His claws, infused with terrifying internal energy and capable of splitting gold and iron, pounced straight at Li Xijun, who was sitting inside!
"broken!"
Fang Tianying's face turned pale, and he immediately rushed up the stairs, desperately trying to stop the assassin who was trying to kill Li Xijun.
At the same time, he prayed in his heart that his junior disciple, who was at least at the Silent Realm, would surely escape this dangerous assassination attempt!
On the one hand, he truly cherished talent and felt that Li Xijun, a virtuous disciple who sacrificed top-grade divine medicine to save his master and a genius with outstanding martial arts talent, should not die so young.
On the other hand,
"I just talked to him about business, but it hasn't come to fruition yet!"
"I'd barely stepped out of the restaurant if Li Xijun died right after me, it'd be like mud falling into my pants—you couldn't wash it off!"
At this moment, Fang Tianying hated that damned assassin more than anyone else.
How could a dignified master who has achieved the Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing be so shameless as to assassinate a junior!
Could it be that someone offered tens of thousands of taels of silver?
In the blink of an eye, Fang Tianying had climbed six floors in a row, just as he was feeling extremely anxious.
"BOOM!!!"
A deafening roar echoed from the rooftop!
The entire restaurant was shaking.
Countless plumes of smoke, sawdust, furniture, and even fragments of stone and dust from the walls exploded.
A tall, thin figure was blasted out of the middle!
