Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Secret Medicine, Upgrade!

"Brother Cao?"

On the way, Chen Feng followed Cao Tong out of the practice room, entering the elevator.

Doubts grew increasingly stronger in Chen Feng’s heart.

Was he being called away because of Wu Tian?

"Don’t worry, it’s not about Wu Tian."

As if seeing through his thoughts, Cao Tong pressed the button for the basement level and said with a smile.

"Do you remember what happened the night before last?"

Chen Feng thought of the night he encountered the Snake-man.

"That was a member of the Snake Spirit Sect, one of the Evil God Church’s branches."

"And as it happens, our Martial Arts Hall doesn’t get along with the Snake Spirit Sect."

His tone was light and jovial, his center of gravity sank, and the elevator descended.

Then, Cao Tong explained, "I have mentioned that incident to the elders inside the hall, and our Martial Arts Hall has decided to give you a reward."

"Now you understand, right?"

The elevator doors opened, and Cao Tong’s half-smiling expression eased Chen Feng’s mind.

He had thought it was bad news, but it turned out to be quite the opposite.

"Thank you, Brother Cao."

He expressed his gratitude earnestly, naturally aware that this favor must have been proactively sought on his behalf by the other party.

In any case, he should accept this kindness.

"Ah, it’s just a trifle."

"Come with me."

Cao Tong waved his hand dismissively, his smile still on his face.

He took large steps out of the elevator.

Chen Feng followed along, and soon saw the environment of this basement level.

A heavy grey metal pathway was flanked by similarly colored metal walls.

Their footsteps echoed as the two quickly walked over ten meters and saw an entrance without a door.

Inside, the environment was somewhat spacious and dim, but as they approached, Chen Feng could smell a hint of medicinal herbs.

Successive chills followed, and Chen Feng’s skin prickled slightly.

"Third Elder."

Cao Tong stood at the entrance and called out respectfully.

"Come in."

The voice was elderly yet clear, resonating in their ears.

Something stirred in Chen Feng’s heart, and soon after, he walked in at Cao Tong’s signal.

Buzz!

The lights turned on automatically, and Chen Feng quickly made out the scene.

Wooden cabinets were neatly arranged, with a number of herbal scents wafting out from them.

Several ventilation ducts and temperature control devices were installed on the metallic ceiling, keeping the temperature around zero degrees.

Feeling somewhat cold, Chen Feng, still in a short-sleeved shirt, felt goosebumps rising rapidly on his skin.

In contrast, Cao Tong was already acclimated, with a clearly stronger constitution.

His complexion remained normal and ruddy.

In just a few steps, Cao Tong led Chen Feng past several herbal cabinets to an inner area.

A brown wooden lounger.

On it laid an elderly man in a grey robe, his white hair adorned with a wooden hairpin, reminiscent of traditional attire.

"Third Elder, I have brought the person."

"Oh."

The elder opened his cloudy eyes upon hearing the words and gave Chen Feng a quick up and down glance.

Chen Feng’s heart tightened in an instant.

He felt a sudden surge of danger as if a real Flying Red Tiger, stepping on Fiery Flames, had emerged before him, overlooking and scrutinizing him.

The elder’s murky eyes were replaced by the commanding vertical pupils of a Red Tiger, and the slight movement of cold air seemed like the creature’s breath.

The intense oppressive feeling made one uncomfortable, even slowing the flow of blood throughout one’s body.

At the critical moment, when he was about to succumb to the pressure,

Chen Feng’s strong Will once again surfaced.

Focused and composed, ripples in his mind rapidly subsided, blocking out all negative emotions.

Facing each other, Chen Feng stood firm, his eyes filled with nothing but clarity, unshaken.

This scene caused Cao Tong to be inwardly surprised, and the old man known as the Third Elder also gave a slight nod.

"He’s a promising seed."

As the old voice landed, all illusions before Chen Feng’s eyes disappeared.

Without waiting for his reaction, he saw a brocade box tossed to him, landing in his hands.

"This is a secret medicine, the Embrace Tiger Pill."

"Go down and train well."

As the words fell, Chen Feng knew he had received a boon and quickly bowed in thanks.

The other party nodded lightly and soon closed his eyes to rest, no longer paying attention.

"Third Elder, we shall take our leave now."

Cao Tong said, then led Chen Feng away.

The sound of their footsteps echoed, with the cold air blowing from behind.

Chen Feng realized then that his back was already drenched in cold sweat.

He knew it was because of the scene that had just transpired.

It can be said that this Third Elder was the strongest person he had seen so far, even more oppressive than the silver-gray transformed person.

"Brother Cao, what Martial Arts Realm is the Third Elder at exactly?"

Chen Feng asked curiously as he entered the elevator.

"Above the Professional Level."

Cao Tong simply said, "Or in the terms of our Martial Arts World, above Entering Strength."

"Entering Strength?"

Chen Feng paused in his speech, somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had heard such a term.

"The demarcation between the Amateur Rank and Professional Level actually comes from the Platinum Federation."

"Because it is closer to the modern era, that’s why it’s widely known and has become the universal standard for individual strength division across Earth Star."

With patience, Cao Tong explained further: "As for Entering Strength, that’s a term for a Martial Arts Realm within the Red Country Martial Arts circle that has been passed down from ancient times."

"Below this, there are three realms of Training Muscle, Bone Training, and Internal Training."

"The first one is roughly equivalent to the Amateur level, while the latter two correspond to the Professional Level."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng thought of the three levels of the Flame Tiger Stance.

Tiger Form, Tiger Roar, Tiger Stance.

Their respective functions are to temper the flesh, polish the bones, and internally train the organs, exactly matching the Martial Arts Realms that Cao Tong mentioned.

"Alright, this information isn’t a secret; you can also find some of it online."

"As for the rest, you’ll get to know it slowly once you become an Official Disciple of the Martial Arts Hall..."

Cao Tong finished saying, and Chen Feng nodded gently in acknowledgment.

Only as an Official Disciple would one truly be the core of the Yanwu Gym.

Only then would one be eligible to learn many of the real secrets of the Martial Arts Sects.

As for the requirements to become an Official Disciple, Cao Tong had already explained them during the first Martial Arts lesson in the Core Class.

The minimum standard is to pass the Martial Arts progress assessment of the Flame Tiger Stance and graduate normally in three months of Core Class.

Another way is to perform exceptionally well, prompting the gym to make an exception and accept one as an Official Disciple ahead of schedule.

Thinking this, Chen Feng felt a stir in his heart.

He believed that with the Breakthrough Light Group, becoming an official disciple of the Martial Arts Hall shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Soon, the two took the elevator back to the second floor area.

Perhaps thinking of something, Cao Tong glanced at the brocade box in Chen Feng’s hand.

"Although the Embrace Tiger Pill is just an ordinary secret medicine, its medicinal effect is still rather overwhelming for you."

"I suggest you take it inside the Martial Arts Hall’s Quiet Room, where I can also help you out as a protector, just in case."

Cao Tong advised, and after a moment’s thought, Chen Feng agreed without being pretentious.

He nodded his head and earnestly thanked him.

Chen Feng was soon led by Cao Tong to one of the Martial Arts Hall’s Quiet Rooms, stood on the wooden floor, and opened the brocade box.

Square-shaped, half the size of a palm.

Inside, wrapped in yellow silk, lay an elixir the size of a fingernail cover in the center, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Consume the pill with standing meditation and visualization to maximize the absorption of its medicinal effect."

"Begin now."

Cao Tong instructed a couple of times, standing by.

Chen Feng nodded at his words, promptly took out the pill, and put it into his mouth.

He chewed it twice, finding the texture somewhat crumbly but regretfully bitter, with an intense, nauseating taste of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chen Feng frowned slightly but still swallowed it down, enduring the discomfort.

"Standing meditation, visualization!"

Cao Tong’s reminder sounded again, and Chen Feng, not daring to delay, immediately entered a calm state, suppressing all stray thoughts.

Instantly, the image of a four-legged Red Tiger engulfed in flames emerged in his mind.

With his legs spread apart, sunk into his stance, Chen Feng quickly entered the state of Martial Arts Training standing posture.

With subtle Perception, he clearly felt the pill being rapidly digested in his stomach.

Thread after thread of warm current emerged silently, gradually blending into his limbs and bones, as well as into the flesh of his body.

Gradually, something moved in front of Chen Feng’s eyes.

A panel floated, showing a phenomenon he had never experienced before, abruptly appearing.

[Strength: 10.8→...10.9→...]

[Agility: 10.2→...10.3→...]

[Constitution: 10.6→...10.7→...]

Among his Four-dimensional attributes, both Strength and Constitution began to slowly rise.

At the same time, the progress of the Flame Tiger Stance also started to increase rapidly.

[Flame Tiger Stance: Tiger Form (14%→...15%...16%....)]
