From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 1: Heart
Ancient Chu State, Liuzhen.

Yang's Martial Arts School.

"boom!"

A figure flew backwards, rolled a few times like a ball, fell to the ground and struggled for a few times, then raised his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The master who challenged me couldn't even withstand ten moves!"

"Senior Brother Chen's boxing skills... have reached the pinnacle."

"In the martial arts industry of Liuzhen, apart from Master Yang, no one can rival Senior Brother Chen."

"..."

A group of martial arts disciples who were watching the scene were dumbfounded as they stared at the scene and burst into heated discussions.

The defeated challenger.

His name is Pei Qing, and he is a master of another martial arts school in Liu Town. He is very famous and is one of the top five martial artists in Liu Town!
But today, he met——

All the martial arts school disciples turned their admiring gazes towards another tall young man in the field.

Chen Xuan!

Three years ago, Chen Xuan came to Liu Town alone and enrolled in the Yang family martial arts school on a snowy night.

No one expected that the very next day, he would use the basic boxing techniques he had just learned half a day to defeat a regular disciple of the martial arts school in a sparring match...

Master Yang, who was a martial arts master, was astonished at the time and made an extremely excited statement.

This is a genius with a sincere heart in martial arts!

"Master Pei, thank you for letting me."

In the center of the field, the young man with a heroic appearance retracted his natural boxing stance, exhaled lightly, then walked forward with a smile and helped Pei Qing, who had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Chen Xuan, I lost..."

Pei Qing's body was still trembling, and he stared at the young man in front of him with complicated eyes. Then, he shouted loudly, half crying and half laughing:
"From now on in Liu Town, the young phoenix will be more powerful than the old phoenix. No warrior can get around you!!!"

After the sad words fell, the old warrior who had practiced martial arts for many years summoned the last bit of strength in his body to shake off Chen Xuan's hand, turned around and walked out of the door with a staggering step. He was supported by his disciples and left. His back was extremely lonely.

"..."

Chen Xuan watched the old warrior leave, tilted his head, and looked a little helpless.

Out of respect for martial arts, he had given his all in the competition... and only held back a third of his strength in the final, decisive punch.

But it seemed that it still brought some despair to Pei Qing's heart.

"Brother Chen, when will we be as powerful as you?"

The young disciples of the martial arts school asked with longing on their faces. In the crowd, a pretty little apprentice sister, about fourteen or fifteen, had her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"First, practice the basic boxing techniques a hundred thousand times."

"hiss……"

Everyone gasped inwardly, scratching their heads and faces, looking embarrassed: "Forget it."

One hundred thousand times...

However, some of the old disciples with strong character had a surge of ambition in their hearts at this moment.

Because they had seen it with their own eyes during these three years.

From spring breeze to summer heat, from autumn to winter, this Senior Brother Chen is always practicing boxing. He has truly practiced a set of boxing for no less than 100,000 times!

Martial arts are sincere.

Nothing more than that.

Chen Xuan looked at his fellow disciples practicing martial arts with high morale, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

But soon.

This relaxed mood quickly disappeared without a trace.

"But even if you practice boxing a hundred thousand times, no matter how high your boxing skills are, it will still be useless in the end."

"Those who practice martial arts are mortals, those who practice Qi are immortals."

"There really are immortals in this world."

Chen Xuan looked up at the dome of the sky.

In his raised eyes, an image of extreme majesty and transcendence was immediately reflected.

Lightning surged within the dark clouds, countless bronze chains stretched across the sky. Ancient beings stretched out hands as large as mountains from the clouds, dragging in all directions the scarlet-gold sun, like a vertical pupil. The chains squeezed out golden blood, scorching hot to the heavens...

It was as if I could hear the mournful roars and cries of ancient giant beasts...ancient and compassionate.

——Eye of the Candle Dragon.

Legend has it that ancient sages leveled mountains and seas, eventually gouging out the eyes of the supreme mountain god and placing them high in the sky. Thus began the distinct distinctions between day and night, and the four seasons...

"It's not a legend..."

Chen Xuan muttered to himself. Every time he saw this extremely crazy scene in the past three years, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart.

But in the end.

He was the only one who could see this scene.

This is the special ability he gained when he traveled through time - [Xinzhai].

An eye that can see strange things that others cannot see is extremely magical.

It's of no use.

Chen Xuan didn't get any help from this. Perhaps it was because he hadn't encountered any other strange things yet.

But he knew that this opportunity would come soon.

……

……

afternoon.

Master Yang Qingshan, the best martial artist in Liu Town, returned to the martial arts gym exhausted.

"That fame-seeking old fellow Pei Qing deliberately caused trouble while I was away. Fortunately, I left you at the martial arts gym to take charge."

Yang Qingshan sneered and then watched Chen Xuan practicing boxing with full concentration. Each punch and each move was so standard and pleasing to the eye, and there was even a hint of returning to nature, which made him nod in approval.

"Master Yang, Pei Qing has been suppressed by you in Liu Town for decades."

Chen Xuan smiled and put away his fists. Then he looked expectantly and asked, "Hasn't the big shot from Qinglu Mountain passed by Liu Town today?"

Qinglu Mountain.

It was an ancient sect in the ancient Chu State, with warriors, demons, and immortals...

Every twenty years, the great men of Qinglu Mountain would pass through Liu Town on their way to the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

"I left Wang Chan and others waiting outside the town."

Yang Qingshan nodded and continued, "You are the most talented among all the martial arts academy members. None of your fellow disciples like Wang Chan can match you... If Qinglushan is willing to accept a disciple in Liuzhen, that person will definitely be you."

Yang Qingshan has a love for talents in his heart.

When he was young, he was also a martial arts genius who was unrivaled in Liuzhen, but he was not noticed by Qinglu Mountain at that time, and he always regarded it as a great regret in his life.

Now that there are opportunities for outstanding disciples in the martial arts school, he will fight for them no matter what.

"Thank you, Master Yang, for your care. If I can join Qinglu Mountain to practice Qi, I will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Chen Xuan looked sincere and made a promise in a serious tone.

Three years ago, he traveled hundreds of miles across mountains and swamps to come to Liu Town to practice martial arts, just waiting for this opportunity.

"There's no need to say more between you and me... My little girl likes you very much. If this doesn't work out, you must become my son-in-law."

Yang Qingshan looked pleased, and immediately pointed to the pretty girl in the yard who was absent-mindedly practicing martial arts and frequently stole glances at him.

"..."

Chen Xuan glanced at the graceful and elegant junior sister in the distance.

There was no ripple in my heart.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some martial arts experiences.

"The waves behind push the waves ahead. If you practice boxing for another three years, I will be defeated."

Yang Qingshan sighed repeatedly, Chen Xuan's martial arts skills had improved even further after this morning's competition. He couldn't help but feel a little astonished at this excellent martial arts talent.

at this time.

Suddenly, a warrior rushed into the martial arts hall, shouting as he ran:
"Master Yang, Senior Brother Chen, something bad has happened!"

"Why are you panicking? Be humble and don't be impatient!"

Yang Qingshan shouted angrily, grabbed the man's arms with both hands, and lifted him up like a chicken, asking, "But the Qi practitioner from Qinglu Mountain is here?"

Chen Xuan also stared at it, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"It's the big guys who are coming."

The warrior was out of breath and said anxiously, "They are drinking in the town restaurant right now... They have chosen Junior Brother Wang Chan. They say that Junior Brother Wang Chan is an unparalleled genius!"

Wang Chan?

Chen Xuan was shocked when he heard this. A disciple from the martial arts school was actually selected directly?
"This is a great thing, but Wang Chan is not a genius. Hey, this stupid boy was chosen."

Yang Qingshan's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he turned his head to Chen Xuan and said excitedly: "You will succeed in this matter. Come with me to the restaurant to meet the people from Qinglu Mountain."

"it is good."

Chen Xuan also suppressed the slight excitement in his heart and was about to set off.

"no!"

The warrior suddenly looked extremely nervous and opened his arms to stop him, saying, "Senior Brother Chen can't go..."

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the reason for this?"

The disciple stammered, "It was Junior Brother Wang Chan. I don't know what he did... Qinglu Mountain was furious, saying that Senior Brother Chen had a low character. It's fine if they don't meet, but if they do, they'll enforce justice and beat him to death with one punch..."

"Wang Chan? When did I offend him?"

Chen Xuan was stunned when he heard this. His mind raced for a moment, and he recalled his interactions with Wang Chan. He became even more confused: "Three days ago, I even taught him two sets of boxing techniques."

The accident was so sudden and so strange that he found it unbelievable.

"There must be something hidden!"

Yang Qingshan glared at Chen Xuan and said firmly, "I have dealt with Qinglushan before, and we have some ties. I will explain it to you. Wait for my news at the martial arts hall."

Chen Xuan could only clasp his fists and say thank you: "Thank you, Master Yang."

……

……

In the evening, twilight falls.

The atmosphere in the martial arts hall was depressing. All the disciples were feeling resentful and secretly looking at the lonely figure standing under the eaves.

Junior Sister Yang, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, puffed up her delicate cheeks in anger and was on the verge of tears. "Brother Chen, is your character so low? He's betraying his teacher and ancestors... Wang Chan is truly heartless! He's defaming Brother Chen and ruining his reputation. How despicable!"

Chen Xuan looked up at the dark sky, lost in thought for a moment, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

"Is Wang Chan crazy..."

At this moment, Yang Qingshan, from afar, smelled strongly of alcohol as he entered the martial arts hall.

"Master Yang, this matter..."

Chen Xuan immediately walked out from under the eaves and went to greet him.

Yang Qingshan stopped and looked at Chen Xuan with a complicated look. Then, a smile appeared on his lips and he waved:

"Chen Xuan, come here, I have something to tell you..."

In the distance, the martial arts school disciples saw Brother Chen walking quickly towards the amiable Master Yang without any precautions.

Immediately, a scene that no one had expected and caught everyone off guard happened.

Junior Sister Yang covered her mouth in fear and screamed.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan flew backwards like a cannonball, spitting blood, and directly smashed the wooden door several feet away and fell into the dark wooden house.

Blood and energy are everywhere.

"Chen Xuan!"

Yang Qingshan's hair and beard stood up, and he retracted his powerful kick. He roared like an angry lion:
"You've betrayed your teachers and ancestors, you're unruly and lawless! Today I'm going to clean up the mess and destroy you with my own hands!"

The roaring and angry voice was like thunder rolling through everyone's heart.

Everyone was stunned, staring at this horrific scene in amazement, because it was obvious that Master Yang's kick was too powerful, and an ordinary person would either die or be crippled if hit by it.

next moment.

"Crack!"

In the dark room, a hand with five strong fingers grabbed the door frame, and then Chen Xuan's face emerged from the room. In the twilight, only half of his angular face could be vaguely seen.

He touched the blood at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes fierce, and slowly opened his mouth full of bloody teeth:
"Old thing—"

Violence.

spread.
