We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Shen Bailian fully activated the Five Elements Breathing Technique, causing his five internal organs to glow. The terrifying primal force hidden within his limbs and bones flowed continuously, drawing upon the five elements of heaven and earth's primal energy.

In just 0.05 seconds, under the influence of the power of heaven and earth, Shen Bailian transformed into a ball of multicolored light, with lightning crackling within.

It filled the outside of the light cluster.

The middle-aged man became furious and launched a fierce attack on the boy, but because the two were too close together and his arm span was too long, he was unable to stop the attack.

Therefore, even if he possessed the strength of a thousand tons, it would be difficult for him to exert 100% of his power under such circumstances.

Even so, Shen Bailian was still in great pain during the battle, because his strongest attack under normal conditions could not even break through the opponent's Force Armor, let alone gain the upper hand.
The fact that they've managed to remain undefeated is already a testament to the opponent holding back.

He was well aware of this.

However, this was exactly what Shen Bailian wanted, as it was the only chance he had the greatest probability of winning that he had calculated after going through countless hardships.

However, he could only maintain this state for a few seconds at most, because the middle-aged man's rationality had been gradually consumed by anger, and his patience was limited.

If this continues, the middle-aged man will definitely use his arm as a knife to cut the boy's arm in half at the waist, thus ending the fight completely.

In the midst of the fierce clash, Shen Bailian threw himself wholeheartedly into the battle.

He could clearly feel the middle-aged man's growing strength and his restless right arm, which meant that the other man's patience was almost exhausted.

Beneath his disheveled black hair, stained with sweat and blood, Shen Bailian endured the excruciating pain. Every muscle on his face seemed to writhe like worms, the tiny force tightening every inch of his skin, clinging to the muscular lines, making his originally handsome face appear especially terrifying and ferocious.

The intense pain may cause some martial artists to directly trigger the body's self-protective mechanism and then faint.

However, for seasoned martial arts prodigies, pain is not only not an obstacle, but a powerful "potential-unleashing agent".

Not to mention Shen Bailian, who has faced life and death many times.

The increasingly intense pain actually accelerated his thinking and made his mental energy unusually active, so he easily discovered the changes inside his body.

"Just as I thought, yesterday's adventure, when I made a pact with that towering tree, the ability I gained was not just the [Divine Hand]."

"My cell activity, my body's ability to heal after injury... have all been enhanced like never before." A thought flashed through Shen Bailian's mind very quickly.

The left arm joint, which had been pierced just seconds ago, and whose bones had been shattered by the impact, was now showing signs of recovery!

This recovery speed is extremely astonishing.

"These martial arts prodigies are insane! They're like they've gone mad from practicing martial arts! A bunch of lunatics!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were wide open, his blood was boiling, his eyes were bloodshot, and his pupils burned with a furious and gradually maddening rage, but in the next moment they were so empty that they seemed to be able to devour everything.

Sweat slid down his deeply lined face, mingling with the faint golden blood at the corners of his mouth, outlining an indescribable madness and despair.

boom!
As the two engaged in close combat, the battle intensified, with several powerful vortexes carrying a large amount of primordial energy, seemingly materializing as if they were cannonballs.

In an instant, it broke through several times the speed of sound, and with a roar, it slammed into the ground.

The immense impact was like the explosion of several kilograms of TNT. The marble floor could not withstand it and instantly cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, then caved in from the center outwards, forming a huge crater.

"Gulu..."

"Luckily, luckily the shield was deployed in advance, otherwise, we would have been in deep trouble this time." A spirited middle-aged man, seeing the ripples on the light shield, was startled and quickly increased the power, muttering in a low voice:
"However, it is truly unbelievable that the boy who barely qualified for the Bozhou City Martial Arts Tournament half a year ago has reached such a level today."

The middle-aged man sighed repeatedly, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This was merely the aftermath of the battle, less than one-tenth the power of the main battlefield, yet it still managed to make the light shield teeter on the brink of collapse.

You should know that this light shield can withstand the bombardment of thermobaric bombs!

"Director Zhang, could you tell me how you taught Senior Brother Shen back then?"

"Director Zhang, is Senior Brother Shen really like the rumors say? He was a bit crazy in junior high... no, he was more like a wise fool. His martial arts grades were mediocre in his first year of high school, and it wasn't until his second year that he..."

"Yes, I heard that Senior Brother Shen is not only the top student in all subjects, but also exercises for more than six hours every day. Is this true or false?"

"..."

"Director Zhang, was Senior Brother Shen pretending to be weak all along? Was it all so that he could become a dark horse in the Bozhou City Martial Arts Competition... and make a name for himself?"

As the saying goes, "One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and three people make a crowd."

As a martial arts student, due to his low physical fitness level, his dynamic vision was simply not able to keep up with the movements of Shen Bailian and the middle-aged man, so he could only watch in vain.

He could only helplessly shift his attention to the energetic middle-aged man, while the other students also looked curiously at the middle-aged man standing in front of the light shield control console.

Nothing more than that.

The reason is that Shen Bailian's rise to power was simply too dramatic, just like the protagonist in a novel.

However, so far, they have not found any evidence of great fortune bestowed upon him, and have only heard rumors of Shen Bailian being the "King of Scrolls".

The reason these martial arts students asked the middle-aged man was simple: his name was Zhang Xianlong.
That's right, it was Shen Bailian's high school physical education teacher.

In Bozhou City, due to the lack of educational resources, many physical education teachers also work as martial arts instructors when students are in their first and second years of high school.

Because I witnessed the boy's ordinariness firsthand, I have a deeper understanding of his extraordinary success today.

Of course, due to Shen Bailian's outstanding achievements in the Bozhou City Martial Arts Competition and Martial Arts University, the teaching resources and environment of Bozhou No. 3 Middle School have been greatly improved compared to half a year ago.

Therefore, after only six months of discussion among the school's teachers and leaders, it was unanimously decided to create a personal statue for Shen Bailian for students to admire.

but.

'How did you teach me? You're asking me? I don't know anything about it.'

'Playing dumb to fool others? How can he play dumb? I'm a martial artist who's been immersed in the Establishing Life Realm for many years. Even if I lack strength, surely I can still have keen insight?'

"Six hours of exercise? With Shen Bailian's family background, to think he can finish studying in a day and then exercise for six hours straight is probably just a pipe dream..."

Zhang Xianlong listened to the chattering of the martial arts students around him, feeling speechless.

How long has it been, less than a year? And these martial arts students have already started to glorify Shen Bailian's past?

Why did Shen Bailian compete for the "Most Improved Boxing Power Award" in the first place?
It's all because we don't have enough money.

Without money, there's no way to buy cultivation resources. Without cultivation resources, even if you train for six hours, you can't expect to make significant progress; you'll be lucky if you don't deplete your qi and blood.

Three thousand yuan may seem like a small amount, but it's actually very little for a martial artist's training, even for a martial arts apprentice.

If you exercise for six hours a day, the average weekly cost would be at least 30,000 Daxia coins. That's not something an ordinary family can afford.

However, Zhang Xianlong knew that he could only think these things in his heart and never say them out loud. For Legend, necessary embellishment was just a white lie and would not hurt anyone.

Zhang Xianlong pondered for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him. He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said without turning his head, "I can only tell you one thing: diligence can make up for lack of talent. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

"what?"

"Can diligence make up for lack of talent?"

The martial arts students looked at each other, and many of them showed disappointment after hearing this, because this was not the answer they wanted.

Some martial arts students, upon hearing this answer, revealed expressions of "I knew it," clenched their fists tightly, and their eyes shone with unwavering determination.

The latter is the answer Zhang Xianlong hoped to see.

at this time.

boom!
Rumble!
Amidst the thunderous roar, several fierce gusts of wind tore through the air and struck the newly opened Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall, piercing it and blasting a large hole in it.

"Eh?"

"I suddenly have a question." Seeing the situation, the tall, thin martial arts student who had been there earlier shrank back and, under the questioning gazes of the other martial arts students, asked curiously, "Who do you think is responsible for the maintenance costs of the Sky Dome Martial Arts Hall?"

"..."

"groove!"

"Your perspective is as unique as ever."

However, upon hearing this, Zhang Xianlong frowned slightly. In the past, he was just an ordinary teacher. What did it matter to him if the facilities at Bozhou No. 3 Middle School were broken?

With such a low salary, why worry about this and that?
But things are different now. Not only has he become the director, but judging from Shen Bailian's current performance, his career path is going very smoothly.

The vice principal—no, the principal isn't entirely without hope either.

"The school is my home!" Driven by this belief, Zhang Xianlong quickly turned on his smartwatch and began contacting his current principal...

……

Although Shen Bailian's physical attributes are currently only at level 20.8, thanks to the enhancement of the level 5 skill [Iron Body], his physical defense has reached an incredibly formidable level.

"Bang bang bang!"

In the fierce collision, his flesh was mangled beyond recognition, and the dripping blood even shimmered with a faint golden light, while the exposed bones gleamed like gold and jade.

"Bang!" "Crack!"

"Boom!" Another fierce bombardment struck, and Shen Bailian coughed up mouthfuls of blood, which were then instantly evaporated in the raging wind.

A faint smell of blood swept through the surrounding area with the strong wind.

"No, I absolutely cannot use my full strength, otherwise I will lose all dignity as a martial artist in the Opening Sea Realm and the face of Chang'an University."

The middle-aged man smelled the blood and saw the boy who was almost out of breath. He bit his tongue hard, and the sharp pain immediately brought him to his senses.

He had to defeat the boy in a respectable and respectable manner, leaving himself some room to maneuver, in order to preserve his reputation. If he could also lecture the boy at the end, then he would have truly won.

However, as soon as the thought crossed the middle-aged man's mind, his expression changed instantly, and he felt a shiver run through his body.

Because he felt that his control over the primordial energy of heaven and earth had been taken away in an instant!
"Rumble--"

The heavens and earth trembled, and the winds and clouds shifted.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth above, like a siphon effect, frantically converged towards Shen Bailian, or more precisely, onto the boy's right fist.

The Heavenly Qi has reached its final form.

But it wasn't earth-shattering; it was just one of the Seven Forms of Hundred Refinements...

The five-colored divine light can brush away anything.

Although Shen Bailian is far from reaching such a level and does not possess such supernatural powers, after multiple baptisms, especially after yesterday's fixed anchor point, his affinity with the power of heaven and earth has been qualitatively improved compared to before.

Moreover, he is now able to enter the state of oneness with heaven and man, and take advantage of the power of heaven and earth.

Therefore, a new attempt was born.

The intense pain caused Shen Bailian's eyes to widen, his face to contort in extreme pain, and a trickle of bright red blood to seep from the corner of his mouth.

A threefold increase, with a single-arm punch reaching a maximum force of 2400 tons! This is close to the strength of an ordinary martial artist in the late stage of the Sea Opening Realm, further amplified by a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Power.

This punch is called the Seven Refinements of a Hundred Arts – Morning Peacock!

"Morning! Peacock!!!"

Under the impact of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, Shen Bailian's body, like porcelain, developed fine, barely perceptible cracks and was on the verge of shattering.

However, he did not stop at all. His internal organs resonated violently, his qi sank into his dantian, his muscles tightened like iron wires, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and veins popped out on his forehead. He shouted loudly, word by word, and the last word was like a thunderclap, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Without a moment's hesitation, he slammed out his right fist.

Just for a moment.

A dazzling beam of light, originating from the boy's fist, burst forth like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, reaching its zenith in an instant.

Light! Blinding beams of light!
Amidst the astonished gazes of all the martial arts students, teachers, school leaders, and even residents and passersby near the school, it was as if a newborn sun had suddenly appeared in the sky.

Bang!
Before the middle-aged man could react, he was struck by Shen Bailian's fist, which was like an electromagnetic cannonball. In less than a fraction of a second, the elemental energy of heaven and earth on the boy's fist erupted.

A deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.

The swirling vortex of primordial energy roared and twisted into a thick, multicolored beam of light, sweeping everything away with the most domineering, brutal, and irresistible power, like the end of the world.

The middle-aged man, under immense force, was sent flying and disappeared into the beam of light composed of the elemental energy of heaven and earth.

Boom! Boom!
The Sky Dojo, which had already been punched with holes, was completely covered by this beam of light composed of the power of heaven and earth.

"Alright, now we don't have to worry about who will pay for the repairs." The tall, thin martial arts student stared blankly at the extremely dazzling beam of light in the sky.

The martial arts students: "..." (End of Chapter)
