Chapter 98: Chapter 86 Direct Disciple

On that day, because of his conversation with Lin Hao,

Chen Feng accompanied the latter all the way to the entrance of the practice room.

Wu Tian and Pei Yue were already inside, and other passing students were staring at him with envy and admiration.

By now, basically the entire Core Class knew about his special treatment.

A separate Quiet Room, solo training.

It could be said to be the only case within the Sub Martial Arts Hall.

"This guy...."

Feeling some toothache, Wu Tian felt as if the teeth he had lost were aching again.

His aunt had originally been quite supportive of him, but since Chen Feng’s breakthrough with the Tiger Roar, his aunt had indicated that he should lower his stance and make good with the other.

This feeling, it really annoys....

"Aren’t you also breaking through Tiger Roar and starting Bone Training?"

"Not going to spar with him again?"

Pei Yue jokingly spoke on the side, having gradually recovered from the setback over a day or two.

Wu Tian was somewhat tempted by these words but saw Cao Tong slowly approaching, stopping at the door of the practice room.

"Hmm?"

His gaze sharpening, Cao Tong suddenly paused his steps, looking at Chen Feng.

Initially calm, but when he keenly sensed the change in the other’s physique, and a hint of danger in his intuition,

Cao Tong’s eyes changed.

"You’ve broken through to Heroic Tiger?" There was a hint of surprise in his tone, and students like Lin Hao were even more puzzled.

Heroic Tiger? What is that?

"Hmm."

Chen Feng nodded, responding.

Hiss!!

Cao Tong took a sharp breath with his eyes full of amazement.

Breaking through to Heroic Tiger level in two days?

This kid’s talent in Hard Skills, is it even more fearsome than other martial arts?

"Spar?"

Eyes gleaming, Cao Tong immediately spoke up.

If it weren’t for the interactions during this period, almost making out that Chen Feng’s character was not one to lie, he would have been slightly suspicious.

But even so, he still wanted to properly verify it.

"Sure."

Chen Feng nodded, also somewhat eager to try.

Cao Tong was a celebrity in the Martial Arts Hall, already at Professional Seventh Level.

There were even rumors that he had surpassed this level and might become the next True Disciple.

So, getting a rare opportunity to spar with him and incidentally validate the strength of the Heroic Tiger level, he naturally agreed.

"Let’s do it here then, the space is wide and appropriate."

Soon, Cao Tong led him into the practice room, while instructing Wu Tian and others to step back, to avoid accidental injury.

The two stood facing each other, one on the left and one on the right, on the central open space of the wooden floor.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding students finally came to their senses, soon showing looks of amazement.

"Is it for real? Coach Cao is going to spar with Chen Feng?"

"What’s the situation, has Chen Feng become that strong?"

"Not necessarily, maybe he just wants to give him a few pointers..."

Most people were surprised and skeptical, leaning towards the idea of feeding him moves.

Cao Tong didn’t explain, just stood two meters opposite Chen Feng with a smile: "Come on, just strike."

"Use your full strength."

As soon as these words landed, Chen Feng took a deep breath.

Knowing he broke through to Heroic Tiger level and still daring to speak like this, the other must have the corresponding confidence.

Without being coy or verbose, he immediately settled his mind, will forcibly controlling his emotions, entering focused calmness.

Whoosh!

A puff of white air was exhaled, and a hint of oppression started filling the practice room.

Wu Tian and others looked on in astonishment, Cao Tong’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes,

Chen Feng bent his knees and tapped the ground, his figure vanished in an instant.

Swoosh!!

His silhouette tore through the air, arriving in front of Cao Tong.

An expressionless face, legs firmly planted.

The spine lifted, the waist and back twisted, the right arm’s muscles piled up like rolling stones.

Buzz!

A roaring sound abruptly rose, as a tremendous force broke through the air!

At least five hundred kilograms, surpassing what is known as the Professional-level Peak.

Boom!

However, fist met palm.

Contrary to Chen Feng’s expectations,

Cao Tong simply stepped back, effortlessly deflecting his strike with a raised palm.

"Hmm?"

His gaze sharpens, Chen Feng quickly rises a bit of cold intent.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a powerful palm strikes his chest, its force not too inferior to his own.

Tap tap!

Sliding back two steps, Chen Feng slightly lowers his head to look at his chest.

A strand of white light vanishes instantly, trying to penetrate the skin but is promptly guarded against by the hard skin.

"Power?"

Chen Feng inquires in confusion, as Cao Tong’s fist still hangs in mid-air, the astonishment in his eyes slowly dissipates.

Indeed, it must be Heroic Tiger level, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to defend against his own power.

"That’s right."

Nodding lightly, Cao Tong retracts his fist and explains: "Inner Refinement is about refining the internal organs, giving birth to a thread of power."

"Subsequently, through repetition, it can be strengthened, or cultivate some kind of True Skill to enhance its might and integrate it as one."

Swoosh!

While speaking, his figure rushes out, leaving afterimages and arriving in front of Chen Feng.

His eyes are bright, shining brightly.

"Continue!"

"Don’t stop!"

Boom!!

Fist and palm meet, Chen Feng stands in place, his muscles feeling as thick and heavy as concrete pillars.

A blast of air wave lifts as a result, with students on both sides already wide-eyed.

Buzz!

Immediately, another palm comes hurtling at him.

Within the swift sound of breaking the air, specks of white light can be seen gathering rapidly, appearing in Cao Tong’s palm.

Thud!!

Another strike lands, Chen Feng reacts too late and is hit on the left shoulder.

The skin feels odd, like something trying to drill in through the pores.

Not daring to take it lightly, he stands his ground and shakes his body.

That’s what it means to be clad in Heroic Power, once attacked, you can trigger a rebound of the strike!

Thud thud thud!

Cao Tong retreats several steps, the concentrated power he unleashed all being shattered and forced out by Chen Feng’s forceful rebound.

"Good heavens, what a Heroic Tiger! Truly impervious to both blade and spear!"

Cao Tong burst into laughter, his tone filled with excitement and relief, and even a sense of anticipation that many students envied.

But soon, before anyone could come back to their senses,

they saw Chen Feng burst forth like an arrow, charging straight ahead like a javelin.

It is impolite not to reciprocate; he too wanted to see what he was truly capable of at full strength.

Hum!

Instantly, the strength of over five hundred kilos converged.

He didn’t use Blast Punch, but it was still a whirlwind onslaught.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

Punch after punch.

Chong Quan, Whip Fist, Hook.

Streaks of white light exploded in mid-air, Cao Tong reacted extremely quickly, his palms flew, fending off all with sheer power.

Gradually, the two engaged in combat, back and forth.

The terrifying momentum continued unabated, leaving the students on both sides utterly dumbfounded.

"It’s fake... it must be fake, right?"

Someone spoke up, and on the side, Pei Yue’s face was numb, thinking he would need another couple of days to recover.

As for Wu Tian, his face had turned pale, slowly realizing his aunt’s intention.

...

Thud!

Another punch met its match, and both of them retreated several steps.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something amiss.

He had quietly used two to three tenths of his Blast Punch, gradually increasing his strength to six to seven hundred kilos.

But relying on power, Cao Tong still seemed to handle it with ease, his expression unchanging throughout.

"Power? Is this the might of power?"

A thought flickered through his mind, unaware of the astonishment in Cao Tong’s heart.

"There’s something strange about this kid."

"How does he seem stronger than those Heroic Tigers inside the door?"

Cao Tong thought to himself as he quietly shook his hands, shaking off the numbing aftereffects.

He had not fully mastered entering, and using power for an extended time brought its burdens.

Not to mention, this kid’s strength was surprisingly great.

Instantly, seeing that the other party was regrouping, brimming with physical strength, looking as if he had just finished warming up,

he immediately raised his hand to stop: "Enough! No more fighting!"

"Your skin is too thick, kid, it’s no fun."

Having said that, Cao Tong turned around, crossing his arms in front of him, his face calm.

"Did you all see that? This is what true achievement in martial arts looks like."

"Practice well, don’t be lazy!"

He deliberately lectured the stunned students for a while, glancing at Chen Feng from the corner of his eye, and when he saw him slowly releasing his strength, Cao Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, that was close to a disaster.

"Chen Feng, come with me."

"Okay."

Nodding lightly, Chen Feng, though slightly unsatisfied that the fight had ended so soon, wisely followed, stepping away.

The students stood on both sides with complex expressions, and Pei Yue suddenly remembered what Wu Tian had once said.

Turns out, talent really does come in many different levels.

...

"You, young man, must definitely be a natural-born candidate for hardline strength training. Not only is your strength exceptionally great, but you also absorb the secret medicine better than others..."

Walking on the road, Cao Tong praised him with a stream of words, while Chen Feng listened the whole way without offering any explanation.

He knew that the other had misunderstood him, thinking that he had advanced to the Heroic Tiger level in one fell swoop solely on the strength of the Rock Tiger Pill.

As for the use of the Blast Punch, one definitely wouldn’t realize, thinking it’s all because of physical talent.

He was glad to let it be, and Chen Feng immediately asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Cao, what exactly is ’Power’?"

He described the sensations he had just felt. Although the opponent’s strength was weaker, relying on ’Power’ they weren’t inferior.

He could even sense that this was not the limit for Cao Tong.

"’Power’ is the strength hidden in the five internal organs and six viscera."

Cao Tong’s expression became more serious, and he led him to the elevator door, pressing the button and said, "The path of Martial Arts is the process of exploring the mysteries of the human body. This is also the reason why Martial Arts once flourished."

"’Power’ is intangible but with substance, to some extent, it’s also considered an integration of the body’s strength. Only, it is much more ingenious than simply throwing punches and kicks."

"It can increase the power of your techniques and can also be used to defend yourself. For example, some entering experts, if their ’Power’ is profound enough, can be impervious to ordinary bullets..."

"That’s about it. Once you break through the Flame Tiger Stance to the Tiger Stance and gain a thread of ’Power’, you’ll naturally understand."

After Cao Tong explained a few points, Chen Feng pondered thoughtfully.

Soon, both of them stepped out of the elevator.

During this period, he also learned another thing from Cao Tong.

"Internationally, above the Professional Level, there is the Master Level."

"The Fighting Techniques of the Platinum Federation, some of them are not inferior to our Chi Country’s Martial Arts Sects. They call fighters whose strength exceeds a ton ’Martial Arts Masters.’"

"And what we call entering ’Power’, they also call ’Martial Arts Masters.’"

A few simple pointers made the Martial Arts world in front of him even broader.

Chen Feng assessed himself and roughly understood his current level of strength.

Under normal conditions, he surpassed ordinary Professional Level without the inheritance of a school and was comparable to some who were close to Perfect Internal Training experts.

When activating the Green Armor Form or fully utilizing the Blast Punch, he was barely at the Master Level.

This thought had just flashed through his mind when the two had already passed through the metal corridor and entered the familiar Medicinal Material Room.

The scent of herbs came through the cracks of the wooden cabinets, and the Third Elder in a gray robe was lying on a wooden reclining chair, eyes closed for rest.

"Third Elder..."

"Hmm?"

Before Cao Tong could finish speaking, the Third Elder suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chen Feng.

A flash of sharpness, and the next second, he disappeared from sight.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Chen Feng, reaching out to grab his arm.

"So quick!"

Chen Feng’s eyes narrowed, completely unable to see the other’s movement.

Had it not been for the lack of malice in his perception, he would have even thought to burst out in resistance.

"Heroic Tiger!!"

With an astonished and hoarse voice, the Third Elder stood in front, sizing up Chen Feng.

His cloudy eyes gradually deepened and soon revealed a thick smile.

"Good lad, it seems your talent in Hard Skills is extraordinary."

"Not bad at all, it looks like our Heavenly Flame Red Tiger Style has really found a treasure."

Praise after praise, Chen Feng’s expression was okay, but Cao Tong beside him showed an envious look.

He understood the character of the Third Elder well; it has been many years since the Elder praised a junior like this.

"Third Elder, as you said, if Chen Feng masters his Hard Skills in the next few days, bring him here."

"Is there something good?"

Putting his stray thoughts aside, Cao Tong quickly asked.

The Third Elder’s smile receded, and he then let go of Chen Feng’s arm, nodding lightly before returning to his recliner.

"That’s right, indeed there is a matter."

"Ah?" Cao Tong looked surprised, not expecting to have guessed correctly.

"You lad are also considered a Core Disciple, and yet you don’t even know the latest news from within the sect."

After pointing that out, the Third Elder continued to look at Chen Feng.

"The Sect Leader has emerged from seclusion."

"He wants to select a personal disciple from this term’s Core Students, each lineage can nominate one person."

"Chen Feng lad, how about it, do you want to give it a try?"
