Martial Saint!

Chapter 64: 0064 Kuixing Points to Dipper

The youth group competition drew to a close, and Lu Chenzhou was undoubtedly the dark horse.

At lunchtime, Jiang Jiao and Wu Tian Lion approached Ji Xuantong.

"Old Ji, you’ve taken on a good disciple."

Ji Xuantong felt proud internally yet humbly replied,

"Your True Inheritances are not bad either."

"Is Lu Chenzhou still attending a regular high school?"

"He has transferred to a Martial Arts School, at the Dragon City High School Su City campus."

"That’s good; staying in a regular high school would be a waste of his talent."

Lu Chenzhou had given them enough face by not instantly defeating their True Inheritances, so naturally, these two also wanted to express their gratitude. Soon, Rickett also came over. He extended his fan-like hand and shook hands with Ji Xuantong.

"Ji, you won this time."

"Ha ha ha, thanks for letting me win."

Rickett’s fierce gaze turned towards Lu Chenzhou.

"Young man, you’re quite impressive."

This was his sincere praise for his opponent.

"I hope to see you again next year."

After saying this, Rickett turned and left.

"Don’t go, I’m treating everyone to lunch today, and we’ll continue in the afternoon," Ji Xuantong, in a good mood, called Rickett back.

Rickett said,

"Thanks, but you guys go ahead, I’m going to check on Ricken."

In the world of Martial Arts, friendship comes first, and rankings second.

Martial Arts is about making friends through combat; fiercely competing on the court, yet off the court, everyone is friends, able to pick up and let go, this is the spirit and backbone of a Martial Artist.

At the dining table, everyone gathered together, having a lively chat.

Du had a smile so big today that his mouth couldn’t close; achieving a ranking in the Martial Arts Academy exchange competition had always been a small goal, and today he had achieved it thanks to Lu Chenzhou.

As for the prize money of twenty thousand, he didn’t care about it.

After the meal, Du approached Lu Chenzhou and whispered,

"Chenzhou, give me your account number, I’ll transfer twenty thousand to it."

Lu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows.

"Du, what do you mean?"

"Without you, I couldn’t have made the top three."

"This has nothing to do with me, matching is just like that, if you made it to the top three, it was because of your ability. Besides, luck is also a part of strength."

"That may be so, but I’m not short of money."

Du was aware of Lu Chenzhou’s family difficulties.

Twenty thousand could be a timely help for him.

"Really, no need."

Lu Chenzhou patted Du on the shoulder and then walked away.

Du, feeling helpless, had no choice but to let it go.

...

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the young adult group competition officially started.

In the preliminary elimination round, Shi Ruyu was unstoppable.

Her Seventh Rank cultivation was a complete sweep; she easily made it to the top three. The ranking competition could be slightly suspenseful. There was someone named Lin Jianxing, also a Seventh Rank, who was Wu Tian Lion’s eldest son, already 26 years old, using First Class Martial Arts "Dancing Lion Thirty-Six Strikes," and like Shi Ruyu, he too had mastered the Hua Realm.

After the Seventh Rank, it is called "Power Transformation Realm," but the rank level is just a standard of Qi-Blood, whereas Hua Realm is about high-level Martial Arts skills, and the two aren’t exactly the same. This is similar to Lu Chenzhou mastering the Dark Force before reaching the Fourth Rank; some people reach the peak of the Sixth Rank and master the Hua Realm, while others might take a year at Seventh Rank and still not achieve it.

There are even rare cases where an individual only masters the Hua Realm at Eighth Rank. Generally speaking, most Martial Artists master the Hua Realm before reaching Eighth Rank. Therefore, when the Martial Arts Association organized and defined Martial Arts Realms, they designated the start of the Power Transformation Realm at Seventh Rank.

Shi Ruyu used "White Ape Fist."

This was the signature skill of the Yuan Family from Su City and a hallmark of Pingjiang Martial Arts University.

The two exchanged blows ferociously upon starting, and after mastering the Hua Realm, they could easily nullify attacks from ranks below Seventh, making fights within the same realm often turn into prolonged battles.

Leveraging force against force!

Maintaining relaxation without slack!

Going with the flow!

All of the above were just the tip of the iceberg of basic skills in the Hua Realm. The Hua Realm stimulated by First Class Martial Arts could even break stones and strike through mountains, and even surrounded by a small group of armed commoners, a practitioner could defeat each one, calmly resolving the situation without injury.

In the past, mastering the Hua Realm was already seen as a top-tier expert in the eyes of ordinary people.

As the champion, Lu Chenzhou was invited to sit next to the judges to watch the competition. Beside him, Ji Xuantong looked on with satisfaction at the heroic Shi Ruyu and commented,

"Your older sister’s ’White Ape Fist’ is really well practiced, different from ordinary Phantom Boxing Methods. ’White Ape Fist’ focuses more on embodying both the form and the spirit. It’s said that when the Grandmaster from the Yuan family in Su City makes a move, a White Ape protector accompanies him, which actually means bringing the form of the White Ape to perfection, complemented by the Martial Arts essence of a powerful Qi spirit!"

Ji Xuantong briefly explained to Lu Chenzhou about ’White Ape Fist,’ which consists of twenty-four movements. If practiced to perfection, it’s rare to find a match below the Tenth Rank.

He watched Shi Ruyu fight and couldn’t help but praise repeatedly,

"Such a move, Mirror Facing Continuous Palm!"

"Hey, Clothes Brushing Monkey Climbing a Tree!"

"Not bad, Step Around Palm Thrashing Connected!"

Beside, Lu Chenzhou marveled at the insight of a Martial Artist. He could only sense that his sister’s fighting was extremely fluid, her shoulders, elbows, arms, palms, back... these human power points were like an elastic line, pulling one hair to move the whole body. Every gesture she made could burst out the power of a giant ape from her relatively petite body.

Suddenly, Shi Ruyu let out a delicate shout.

She moved closer in a flash, taking a right step and simultaneously exploding her right fist upwards from inside out and the left fist forward from inside out, concentrating all her body’s power in two points.

Bang!

Lin Jianxing, careless of his rear only managed to defend against the right fist aimed at his head but was struck by the left, realizing too late that the right was a feint.

Boom!

White Ape Twenty-Four Movements, Hero Star Points a Battle!

Lin Jianxing flew backward, stabilizing his form in the Hua Realm, but once his rhythm broke, he was completely vulnerable before the more skilled Shi Ruyu.

He managed to withstand several dozen strikes before eventually being knocked off the platform.

Holding her radiant fists, Shi Ruyu saluted and said,

"Thank you for the challenge, are you alright?"

Lin Jianxing quickly replied,

"I’m alright."

And he left without looking back.

Wu Tian Lion sighed slightly.

He knew his son had given it his all.

In the end, Shi Ruyu achieved her wish and claimed first place.

Ji Xuantong couldn’t be more thrilled.

Two true inheritances, each more impressive than the other.

He always knew his judgment in people wasn’t wrong.

Shi Ruyu and Lu Chenzhou, both were top-class raw gems!

"Congratulations, older sister."

"Older sister, you’re so cool."

The students of Flying Swallow Martial Arts Academy cheered and jumped for joy.

Both the youth and the young adult championships were won by Flying Swallow Martial Arts Academy.

Now, who else could compete?!

It was also dinner time by then.

At the dining table, Ji Xuantong opened a bottle of fine wine and started drinking with some of the elders, clearly too joyful today. He even made a phone call to Ji Feiyan.

[Dad, why did you suddenly call me?]

"Ru Yu and Chenzhou both won championships."

[Wow, that’s great, though I had already guessed it.]

Ji Feiyan had already stopped underestimating these two lower root bone juniors, and she looked forward to meeting them on campus at Martial Arts University.

After everyone had a good time, Lu Chenzhou congratulated old Zhang in advance on his good performance that night; he didn’t continue watching as he had to rush back to school before dark.

Old Zhang promised Lu Chenzhou good news soon.

He said that within a few days, Lu Chenzhou would be somewhat famous.

After being trained at the Martial Arts Academy by Ji Xuantong for a while, the day had begun to darken. Lu Chenzhou took his leave from the master and Shi Ruyu: "Teacher, older sister, I’m heading back now."

Ji Xuantong nodded and said,

"Go ahead, don’t be proud. This is just the lowest level of competition."

Shi Ruyu looked at Lu Chenzhou’s parents nearby.

"Don’t worry, little brother, I’ll escort your aunt and uncle home for you."

"Thank you, older sister."

Lu Chenzhou spoke with his chattering folks for a while before leaving the Martial Arts Academy.

At the end of May in Su City, it was the plum rain season, with continuous drizzle.

He plunged into the light rain outside.
