Martial Saint!.

Chapter 54 Focus List (3 more monthly tickets and follow-up reading)
Lu Chenzhou transformed into a black tiger and pounced on the pile. His speed was so fast that it created a strong wind that even blew up the bangs of a female student next to him...

"Amazing."

The female student looked at it with wide eyes, somewhat surprised.

Lu Chenzhou has only been here for a month. He is very depressed and doesn't socialize often. He always practices boxing alone and is never seen. Some girls in his class don't even know his name.

The winged tiger's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This feeling... has he comprehended the dark energy?"

He continued to observe, but couldn't make any judgement yet.

Lu Chenzhou focused his mind, relying on the black tiger, wandering in the mountains and forests. No matter how his leg and body movements changed, his hips were always as steady as an unshakable old man. With every step he took, the shaking wooden stakes made a dull popping sound, and his fists and palms changed as fast as the wind.

Everyone watched Lu Chenzhou boxing intently.

Until he calmed down and adjusted his breathing, and stood still like a big cat landing on the ground.

Everyone actually felt a little unsatisfied.

The eyes of the Winged Tiger became brighter and brighter, staring at Lu Chenzhou and asked:
"Have you mastered the Black Tiger Fist?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

“Just broke through.”

Cha Chi Hu asked everyone to continue practicing.

"Lu Chenzhou, come to my office."

"Good teacher."

Lu Chenzhou followed with an expressionless face.

On the training ground, everyone was still thinking about that man and that punch.

"It's been less than a month since he transferred to the school, and he has already mastered the Black Tiger Fist? You must be kidding... What is Lu Chenzhou's background?"

"I don't know. Maybe he has already become a little boy."

"That's for sure."

"That's not right. I remember talking about it during dinner. He said that he only started practicing Black Tiger Fist in October last year. That means he learned a boxing technique from entry level to mastery in just seven months... Hisss, only a person with superior physique can achieve such progress, right?"

"Almost. I remember that Senior Brother Chen Yuan also took seven months to master the Pine Crane Fist. This is already the ceiling for those with medium aptitude."

Lu Chenzhou showed off his skills, which really surprised his classmates. If it was a superior physique, everyone would definitely be used to it. But a transfer student, an average family, a low physique... these negative conditions formed a contrast with such progress.

Liu Quanhai, who was also a transfer student, was confused. He had thought that Lu Chenzhou was just being clever. Now, it seemed that he was just being self-righteous. Fortunately, he didn't say it to his face at that time. Otherwise, he would really be a clown, and his classmates wouldn't be able to do it.

……

Hongfu Office.

There was an ink painting hanging on the wall, titled "Black Tiger King Devouring an Evil Ghost". In the picture, a black tiger in freehand style was chewing an evil ghost with a green face and fangs. Lu Chenzhou was fascinated by it and for some reason he thought of the strong man with the iron tower.

He later checked the information published on the official website of Pingjiang Branch.

The sturdy man's name is Lu Fang, and his nickname is [Ghost Head Evil Tiger].

Seeing that Lu Chenzhou was quite interested, Hong Fu asked:

"How about this painting?"

"Very good, very imposing, as if it contains some kind of divine will!"

"…It's not that exaggerated, it's just an ordinary painting. I'll give it to you."

"I dare not. The students are just appreciating it."

"It's not a masterpiece by a famous artist. Hehehe, I actually drew it myself. When I have nothing to do, I like to draw ink paintings. I only draw tigers in my life."

Hongfu had already rolled up the painting and put it into the scroll.

"This……"

Lu Chenzhou didn't dare to answer it.

"I'm not kidding, take it."

Hong Fu handed it to Lu Chenzhou and sat in his seat.

Lu Chenzhou asked:
"Teacher, are you trying to understand the essence of the tiger's form by drawing it?"

Hongfu originally wanted to say yes.

But he remembered that Lu Chenzhou seemed a little too serious, and he was afraid that he would take it too seriously and waste a lot of time learning ink painting and tiger painting.

"It's just my hobby. Drawing a tiger is like watching a tiger. Some people can indeed learn some of the essence of tiger form from it, but in the final analysis, it still depends on hard practice."

Lu Chenzhou understood.

"Thank you, teacher, for clearing up my doubts." He held the scroll and waited for the teacher to ask questions.

He naturally didn't intend to draw a tiger, he didn't have the talent for that.

The martial arts tree can only be used to learn martial arts.

Nothing else worked, he had tried them all.

Hong Fu asked:

"I've read your information. You started learning Black Tiger Fist in October last year, and you made some progress at the end of March this year, reaching the third level. It took you six months. Am I right?"

"Yes."

"Based on your previous progress, from minor success to major success, my previous analysis of you is that it will take at least three months. Even if you transfer to a martial arts school and study martial arts full-time, and practice diligently, it will still take about two months... Have you been in good shape during this period?"

"When I first watched a tiger, I had a flash of inspiration. I made great progress that day, and then I focused on Black Tiger Fist for several days a while ago."

"That's it, I understand."

Hongfu's doubts were finally resolved.

"Good fortune is hard to come by, you are still lucky."

He had only come here once since he had trained to become a martial artist.

"Yes, I think so."

"But putting aside your good fortune, I am also very satisfied with your progress. It has been a long time since I have seen a transfer student as hardworking and intelligent as you."

"Thank you, teacher."

"I plan to report this to Yu Zheng. The school will probably put you on the 'Special Attention List' next. Your martial arts supplement treatment will be doubled. You must work hard and maintain your current state, otherwise you will be kicked off the list."

"Thank you teacher!"

Lu Chenzhou was secretly happy.

Liu Huan mentioned in the "Key Focus List" that currently there are only 5 people in the first grade class who are included in it: the four major cadres Liu Huan, Yuan Zhigang, Ji Changkong, and Wen Tiange, all of whom have the sixth level of cultivation, and Huo Tianyu from the Huo family, who has the fifth level of cultivation.

There were many fourth and fifth dan in the class, but they were not selected. This was because the list valued future potential rather than current cultivation.

Everyone privately calls it the "Quasi-genius List." This means that if you perform well in the next assessment, you may be able to skip a grade, or even enter the university department of Dragon City without taking the college entrance examination, and be assigned to the legendary "genius class" to attend classes with those real geniuses with superior aptitudes, which has many benefits.

Lu Chenzhou knew that his plan had succeeded again. From the time he had the martial arts tree until now, he had continuously demonstrated his talent, which made his parents willing to invest in him. He was noticed by Ji Xuantong and was admitted to Longcheng High School. Now he was even listed as a quasi-genius.

Take one step at a time and climb higher and higher.

He naturally liked the false reputation of "genius", but he didn't take it too seriously. He just needed the country's resources and attention to pursue the infinite martial arts. One day, he also wanted to go to the clouds to meet the...Sky Dragon King.

The Winged Tiger laughed and said:
"Go back, but don't have too high expectations. It's still uncertain whether it will work or not. I don't think it will be a big problem. Just wait for the school's notification."

……

dorm room.

Lu Chenzhou recalled the past month with a lot of emotion. Hard work pays off, but if there was no martial arts tree, he would not be able to reach the current level no matter how hard he tried.

He planned to hang the black tiger painting in his home. It was painted by a martial artist, and it contained the spirit of the tiger. It could be regarded as a house-guarding object to ward off evil spirits and to provide psychological comfort.

At dinner time.

Liu Huan and others came to Lu Chenzhou with the food.

"Chen Zhou, I heard that you have mastered the Black Tiger Fist?"

"Yes, there was a breakthrough a few days ago."

"So fast? You're even faster than me."

“It’s just luck that I’m in good form and I’ve worked hard.”

"Don't be modest. You should be included in that list, right?"

"Not sure yet."

"Don't worry, based on my experience, you're safe."

Everyone had already opened champagne for Lu Chenzhou at halftime.

After dinner, Liu Huan reminded before returning to the dormitory:

"Chen Zhou, remember to test your Qi and blood. Once you have mastered any third-rate martial arts and have reached the fourth stage of cultivation, you will be eligible to apply to the school to learn second-rate martial arts in advance.

I learned the "Bear King Stone Smashing Palm" a long time ago, and it is indeed much more powerful than the ordinary "Bear Punching Fist". Hehehe, I will rely on it for the martial arts competition next year!"
