Chapter 93: 0084 Great Success Through The Mountains (Four Chapters Combined into 9k Words, Thanks to Brother Nuanyang and the Golden Alliance!)_4

"Awesome, boosted by 17% in one breath."

After a vigorous session of punching, Lu Chenzhou descended the mountain.

In the Tiger Garden, Brother Tiger watched as the figure of the horse receded.

Well now, calling me Brother Tiger, and you call yourself "Tiger Lord."

Seems like the heavens have turned upside down!

...

August 10, in the morning.

Before the Martial Arts History class, students gathered and chatted animatedly as they browsed their phones; a new "announcement" had been published on Su City police’s official Weibo.

[Recently, a Void Thing caused trouble in the Stone Lake area, resulted in one fatality. The Void Thing has been subdued by enthusiastic citizens; the case is still under further investigation. We urge all citizens of Su City to take precautions and for community properties to carry out safety inspections on Yang Flame Lamps according to national standards. Subduing Void Things benefits the nation and people, the police specifically reward the enthusiastic citizen with ¥300,000 for commendation.

Police Advice: Void Things are dangerous, act bravely but within your limits.]

"That enthusiastic citizen is really impressive."

"Yeah, to be able to subdue a Void Thing is no small feat."

The students discussed yesterday’s events.

Listening to the discussions and admiration for the enthusiastic citizen, Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Has anyone in our class ever killed a Void Thing?"

Liu Huan thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"No, but I’ve encountered a Void Thing once, ran away haha."

Someone joked:

"With your strength, Captain, handling ordinary Void Things should be a breeze."

Liu Huan seriously said:

"You can’t say that, Void Things have bizarre abilities; without absolute overpowering strength like a Martial Artist, it’s better not to confront them head-on, just running away is fine."

Huo Tianyu laughed:

"That’s why that enthusiastic citizen is impressive, I remember if a Martial Artist kills a Void Thing, the police usually announce the title... this enthusiastic citizen might have subdued the Void Thing with a martial body, only Brother Chen in our high school has done that."

Yuan Tiangang said:

"Brother Chen is indeed formidable; he personally killed a White Floating Spirit."

Lu Chenzhou’s heart stirred.

"Brother Chen has also encountered a Void Thing?"

Professor Tian Wen arrived, and everyone returned to their seats.

Lu Chenzhou then took out his phone to check the messages.

[Your account ending in 9527 at XX bank has received ¥300,000 (Reward)]

Judicial rewards are tax-free; it all goes to him.

Lu Chenzhou looked at his bank balance.

[¥510,000]

"With so much money, I can go a long time without attending classes... as for the external application medicine needed for Hard Qigong, the scholarship money is enough."

He immediately bought four boxes of Nourishing Organ Medicine.

This stuff works pretty well; one box each week, and the speed of cultivating Tiger Supreme Fist can even increase. As for Bone Strengthening Potion, it’s not as cost-effective as the Qi Boosting Potion. Bright God Potion is too expensive; Lu Chenzhou plans to mainly freeload in the early stages.

...

Pingjiang Division.

Lufang checked the police internal system’s news, then saw the case from the Stone Lake police station, where a high school student helped exterminate a Void Thing.

Seeing the news photo of Lu Chenzhou, he took a puff of his cigar and said:

"So it’s this young fellow, just got the Void Blade not long ago and it’s already come in handy, not bad, daring to capture a Void Thing, calm in the face of danger... this kid is like me!"

...

In a blink of an eye, it was September 1.

These days, Lu Chenzhou had not stepped half a step outside of the school.

The school was his safe harbor; staying here, nothing wrong could happen. Once he went out and if it was for a long time, he always encountered some unfortunate events.

Lin Bin and his daughter temporarily stayed at the Void Treatment Bureau to receive treatment. Those who bump into Voids suffer not only physical injuries but more importantly psychological trauma, needing professionals for therapy.

Training Room.

"Come on, exert yourself! Push harder! Don’t worry about injuring me."

Hong Fu stood on a swaying wooden stake, with one hand behind his back and the other swinging like the wind easily neutralizing all of Lu Chenzhou’s fierce attacks without moving an inch. Lu Chenzhou’s claws capable of tearing bark couldn’t breach Hong Fu’s skin.

Martial Artists truly are the extraordinary beings breaking free from fetters, not needing to intentionally cultivate Hard Qigong; they are impervious to ordinary weapons. Lu Chenzhou increasingly yearned for such powerful physique; with it, all demons and ghosts could be crushed with one slap!

At noon, the special training ended.

Hong Fu smiled:

"Not bad, I feel your comprehension has grown during this time."

"It’s all thanks to your excellent teaching."

"That’s for sure."

"You go ahead with your work, Teacher; I’ll practice by myself for a while."

"Sure, just don’t overdo it, too much could be as bad as too little."

"I’ll be careful."

Lu Chenzhou stayed in the training room alone, repeatedly practicing the Black Tiger Crossing the Mountain routine until the effects of the last ’Nourishing Organ No. 1’ Medicine ran out. The leaves on the Martial Arts Tree related to ’Mountain Crossing Body’ became greener and darker.

[Mountain Crossing Body: Small Success (100%) → Great Success (1%)]

"Just five months, and I’ve brought ’Mountain Crossing Body’ to Great Success."

Acupoint power was transforming the lower body and the overall physique.

Lu Chenzhou’s feet, like tiger paws, gripped onto the wooden stake, every move powerful and combining hardness with softness, no matter how the stake shook, he stood as stable as a steadfast figure. As he struck and moved, he navigated effortlessly among the flurry of whipping wooden stakes!

He was able to progress so quickly for three reasons:

First is the Perfection of "Black Tiger Fist."

Fist techniques and movement techniques complement and reciprocate each other’s success.

Second is being an Class A talent, and having Hong Fu always giving him personal coaching.

With a great mentor, the progress doubles.

Of course, his own efforts and the Martial Arts Tree play parts too.

He went to the Qi measurement room.

[Qi Blood Value 2.85, congratulations, you’ve reached the standards for Fifth Rank.]

"Just 0.13 more to advance to Sixth Rank."

He felt a sense of urgency now.

Su City’s hundred schools exchange competition, being Sixth Rank would secure the championship more reliably.

He reviewed his current Martial Arts list.
