Chapter 94: 0084 Great Success Through The Mountains (Four Chapters Combined into 9k Words, Thanks to Brother Nuanyang and the Golden Alliance!)_5

...

[Swallow Return Fist: Small Success (60%)]

[Tiger Supreme Fist: Mastery (43%)]

[Sea-sweeping Body: Small Success (91%)]

[Arhat Skill: Proficiency (61%)]

[Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Pile: 9th Acupoint opened]

"Before the Su City exchange contest, if I can achieve Small Success in Tiger Supreme Fist, Great Success in Sea-sweeping Body, and Mastery in Arhat Skill... I should be invincible."

...

After lunch, he went to his usual Heavenly Pile Class.

Yu Zheng asked:

"Chenzhou, have you opened your 9th acupoint?"

"I have."

"Do you feel any changes?"

"After opening the Taiyuan Acupoint, I feel like there’s an inexhaustible flow of Qi-Blood in my body, and my endurance has increased. Breathing after practicing the fist has become smoother and more transparent."

"That’s correct. The Taiyuan is the biggest confluence of the meridians – profound and capacious – and it is where the Qi-Blood in the human body is most abundant. Once it’s opened, the improvement in bodily functions is huge."

"I see."

"By the way, how long do you usually practice Pile Skill every day?"

After the 9th acupoint, the difficulty of condensing the acupoints would step up to a new level.

The condensing difficulty of the [Taiyuan Acupoint] alone could stall someone close to Class A talent like Liu Huan for more than three months. For an ordinary student, being stuck for half a year was normal.

Lu Chenzhou still managed to open one acupoint each month, which was quite surprising to Yu Zheng.

He was also curious about how he practiced.

Lu Chenzhou thought for a moment and said:

"Excluding rest time, I average over four hours of Heavenly Pile practice every day."

Yu Zheng was slightly startled.

"Four hours? Good lad, you have determination!"

Opening acupoints is like grinding water mill; the most important part is the grueling effort. Most students only practice Pile Skill for one or two hours a day. Those who practice for more than three hours are like ascetic monks, relentless and uncompromising. This lad’s four hours... it’s simply inhuman.

Some Martial Artists did not even practice as long as Lu Chenzhou.

Yu Zheng asked again:

"Are you still persisting with the Arhat Skill?"

"I am still practicing it. The Hard Qi Gong saved my life."

"Good, manage it well on your own."

Hard Qigong and Heavenly Pile Cultivation are extremely arduous and exhausting!

Destroying the body every day with external forces, how could it be anything but painful?

Yu Zheng was genuinely concerned that Lu Chenzhou’s high intensity might cause a breakdown in himself.

...

In September, all 26 new freshmen were present for the first-year class.

There were 25 with intermediate root bone, and only 1 with low class root bone.

It was said that this one had an epiphany in middle school.

Dragon City High School had a strong sense of unity, and to maintain this fine tradition, Liu Huan and the seniors from the third-year class organized a grand welcome "Martial Tournament."

The Martial Tournament was held smoothly on September 3rd.

Lu Chenzhou, as an outstanding senior, was invited to watch the matches.

He watched the slightly immature freshmen exchange blows on the stage. The strongest among the new students turned out to be a girl, also the class president of the freshman class, named Wang Caiying. She beat the vice-president with Fifth Rank Cultivation in less than ten moves.

Liu Huan cheered:

"Good! Sister Wang is impressive!"

The other seniors nodded their heads in agreement, especially those whose Cultivation was not as high as Wang Caiying. Watching their junior sister fight with such a valiant spirit, they couldn’t help but admire her.

"I heard she’s a disciple from the Wang Family in the Guandong Region."

"Why has the Wang Family come to the south?"

"How should I know? It’s simply a dimensional strike against us."

"A 16-year-old at the peak of Fifth Rank is monstrous, no less than Liu Huan. Probably soon to be Sixth Rank, and it seems she’s the only one with low-class root bone."

"Another prodigy with an epiphany, right?"

"They say this junior sister had her epiphany in middle school."

The crowd couldn’t help but look towards Lu Chenzhou; speaking of the past year, the biggest shock to everyone was undoubtedly this transfer student who emerged out of nowhere.

Low-class root bone, joined the school in April with Third Rank Cultivation, broke through two realms in five months, rumor has it he has been classified as a Class A talent, enjoying the benefits of the genius class.

Liu Quanhai whispered:

"Still, she falls a bit short compared to Chenzhou. After all, she is a disciple of the Wang Family from Guandong with far superior innate conditions. Chenzhou is the exemplar of a commoner’s counterattack."

Huo Tianyu showed her tiger teeth and laughed.

"Just like that, unable to compare to Chenzhou."

As a disciple of the Huo Family, she knew very well how high the floor was for noble families, even someone with "average" intermediate root bone like herself, the resources she enjoyed since childhood were beyond outsiders’ imaginations. And the Wang Family’s strength was even above the Huo Family.

Master Wang of Fangshan was one of the four grandmasters of the Wang Family.

Thinking of this, she had an epiphany.

"Could this girl be a descendant of Master Wang?"

After finding out the situation of the sister on stage from a classmate nearby, Lu Chenzhou showed a look of admiration. Whether a family disciple or not, for her to enter the fifth rank before the age of 16 with low-class root bone, this sister must have put in far more effort than ordinary people.

Root bone is like a chasm, difficult to cross.

He was someone who’d been through it and knew the hardship within.

Wang Caiying, having defeated all first-year students without exception, looked at the seniors below the stage with intense eyes that seemed unsatisfied. She scanned around and, looking at Lu Chenzhou, she clasped her fists and said:

"Senior Lu, good day. I heard you also have low-class root bone, and now possess the cultivation of fifth rank. Sister presumes to ask for your guidance on stage, would that be possible?"

Her attitude was humble, but she carried an unspoken pride.

Compared to those who started with middle or high root bone, some of those with low-class root bone who attained enlightenment and reversed their fate were even more arrogant. They relished the feeling of triumphing over geniuses!

And Wang Caiying was one of those.

After enrolling, she heard about Lu Chenzhou, a legendary figure, at the welcome dinner for new students. She unconsciously compared him to herself and wanted to compete with him.

This newcomer’s Martial Arts competition was the opportunity.

Students from all three classes looked towards Lu Chenzhou.

Liu Huan had a strange expression.

"This sister, it seems she is specifically targeting Chenzhou."

Wen Tiange agreed.

"The previous battles were all her buildup. This is interesting, currently in Dragon City High School the best with low-class root bone are these two. One is a peerless martial arts maniac, the other a family disciple... I favor Chenzhou more."

Huo Tianyu pouted.

"I was defeated by him."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lu Chenzhou boldly said:

"Alright, then let’s have a friendly spar."

He jumped up, deployed the Sea-sweeping Body of Great Success level, gliding fluidly past the onlookers like clouds and flowing water, landing on the platform without a speck of dust on him.

"Good lad, your Mountain Crossing Body has gotten stronger."

Hong Fu, who joined in the excitement, secretly thought to himself. He had only been teaching Lu Chenzhou the Mountain Crossing Body for a little over five months. Looking at this momentum, the lad wouldn’t need even a year to reach perfection.

Lu Chenzhou was very capable!

Reviving the glory of the Tiger Form depended on him.

A junior from next door’s Galaxy Class shouted: "Chenzhou, use your ’Arhat Skill’ to show this little girl just how tough our muscular dominance through cross training is!"

The first-year newcomers were all surprised.

"This Senior Lu, he even cultivates hard Qi Gong?"

Nowadays, cultivating hard Qi Gong was as rare as endangered species.

Everyone unconsciously held Lu Chenzhou in higher esteem.

On the platform, the two announced their backgrounds.

"Lu Chenzhou, specializing in Tiger Form Fist."

Wang Caiying sized up Lu Chenzhou, clenched her fists, and with a big smile said:

"Wang Caiying, specializing in... Dragon Form Fist."

Her words caused an uproar below the stage.

"Dragon Form is first-class martial arts, how did she learn that?"

"She’s from a noble family, surely she gets special treatment."

"Crap! Isn’t that cheating?"

"It’s not certain, first-class martial arts are extremely difficult to master, she’s only a first-year, whether she can master it is a question... In terms of power, it might not necessarily be stronger than the ’Black Tiger Fist.’"

Many from the second-year class were very confident in Lu Chenzhou.

Now everyone’s hearts began to waver.

Hong Fu couldn’t help but say:

"Chenzhou! Remember, the Tiger Form is the most badass!"

This damn girl, relying on her family status to bully our Tiger Form Fist.

Yu Zheng came over and reminded in a low voice:

"Cough cough, Teacher Hong, mind your image, don’t use foul language."

Hong Fu gave a sheepish smile and focused on watching the battle.

On the summit of Fangshan.

Wang Jidao stood atop a pine tree, scanning the horizon with raised eyebrows:

"Damn it, why does this girl have to spar with him... If she gets defeated by Lu, wouldn’t it make my Guandong Wang Family’s secret arts seem too weak?"

"Black Dragon Eighteen Hands," a fist method originating from the Guandong Region, wasn’t of ancient lineage but belonged to modern martial arts. It was first created by a martial artist from the police force in Guandong through his extensive dealings with capturing Black Knights, drawing from various martial arts styles. To practice this fist, one needed a ruthless mindset and a lethal approach. For a long time, the police banned regular officers from learning it, only later lifting the prohibition. As first-class martial arts, "Black Dragon Eighteen Hands" comprises only 18 moves, each capable of causing death. When perfected, it hardly had any equals in real combat amongst martial artists.

"I hope Wang Caiying knows her limits and doesn’t hurt the lad... Wait, no, that’s wrong. The lad has to know his limits, not to disable this girl."
