From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 95 The Young Man with Innate Talent
Two months later.

Vajra Gate Martial Arts School.

"Ho~ Ho~~"

Xu Xiaohou's chest heaved and his breathing contained a special rhythm as he performed the ten innate dynamic stances of the Five Elements Stance Exercise.

When he was about to master the third level of stance training, he asked his third brother to teach him the innate dynamic stance of the Five Elements Stance Training.

Once, twice...

He gradually became immersed, his movements becoming smooth and fluid, as waves of heat surged within him.

Suddenly, his muscles and bones hummed and trembled, and a trace of internal energy began to grow.

"Ok?"

The sudden change almost made Xu Xiaohou lose his focus, but he quickly steadied himself and continued practicing his stance training.

What surprised him was that he thought he had to take the Five Elements Medicine Soup to advance to the Innate Realm when he broke through.

His original intention was to first master the stance training, and then have Xu Zhongche brew the Five Elements Herbal Soup for him when he returned to the village before making a breakthrough.

Little did he know that through immersive stance training, he naturally broke through to the Innate Realm!

Breaking through to the Innate Realm using Five Elements Stance Training does not necessarily require taking Five Elements Herbal Soup at the time of the breakthrough.

The effects of Five Elements Herbal Decoction on physical constitution are subtle and gradual.

The two practices of stance training and medicinal decoction complement each other. If one does not lack either on a regular basis, it is not necessary to take the Five Elements Medicinal Decoction when breaking through a critical point.

When Xu Xiaohou started practicing the Five Elements Stance Exercise as a child, he supplemented it with Five Elements Herbal Decoction.

In order to speed up the process, Xu Zhongche gave him special treatment and he took the medicinal soup twice.

His physical constitution had already been subtly changed, but it had not yet broken through his innate limitations and had not yet manifested.

The inner strength has been generated, and one has already entered the innate stage!
He repeated the stance training several more times until he squeezed out the last bit of internal energy from his body before stopping.

"call--!"

He exhaled a long breath and suddenly realized that many eyes were staring at him.

Looking around, one sees the apprentices of the Vajra Sect.

"Xu Xiaohou, you've broken through to the Innate Realm?"

"The power you just displayed was definitely from the Innate Realm."

One by one, the teenage martial arts apprentices looked at Xu Xiaohou with envious eyes.

Many of them only reached the second level of stance training, and only a few reached the third level.

"Hmm, a lucky breakthrough."

Xu Xiaohou was secretly pleased, but outwardly remained humble.

"Xu Xiaohou, how old are you again?"

"Fifteen? Or sixteen?"

"fourteen."

Xu Xiaohou's answer once again drew cheers.

His innate abilities at the age of fourteen are truly astonishing.

Even without using the Qi and Blood Pill, he could have advanced to the Innate Realm by the age of sixteen, following the normal progress. But he was too eager for quick results, and forcibly shortened the two-year timeframe to less than half a year.

Xu Xiaohou rested for a moment, then continued practicing martial arts to familiarize himself with his combat power enhanced by internal energy.

"The Arhat Who Subdues the Tiger"

"The Eight Arhats!"

"The Shadow Shifting Step..."

Internal energy is infused into the meridians, comprehensively enhancing strength, speed, and defense.

His use of internal energy is still very rudimentary, but the boost to combat power from internal energy is so fierce that it can be described as a tenfold increase.

The difference between acquired and innate qualities is like the difference between clouds and mud.

"Tongbimen, Kong Sen, I'm here."

After becoming familiar with internal energy, Xu Xiaohou left the Vajra Sect and went to the Tongbi Sect martial arts school.

If you lose face somewhere, you must regain it there.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The magnificent hall, spanning ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) in width, is located in the city center, with two solid wooden pillars, each half a meter thick, supporting the entrance on either side.

The signboard hanging high reads "Tongbimen Martial Arts School".

Behind this main hall, three high walls enclose a large, square courtyard.

At the gate, a steady stream of martial arts apprentices with long arms came and went.

Although Tongbei School is not well-known now, it can still attract a large number of apprentices to practice martial arts after the tuition fee was reduced.

Xu Xiaohou swaggered into the martial arts school.

His physical characteristics clearly didn't match those of someone who practiced the Tongbei Lingyuan Zhuang Gong, so he was stopped: "Hey, who are you? What do you want?" "To challenge the school."

The two words, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, create ripples.

"What?"

"Kick the club?!"

"Everyone come quick! Someone's here to challenge us!"

Coming to someone's door and causing trouble is like taking away their livelihood.

Before long, dozens of apprentices rushed over and surrounded Xu Xiaohou.

Some looked hostile, while others watched with curiosity, wondering who was so bold.

"Master Li has arrived!"

Someone shouted, and the crowded people parted to make way.

Li He, at the second level of the Innate Realm, is the deputy head of the Tongbei Sect martial arts school.

The owner, Fan Lei, was not there; he was in charge.

He walked over with a dark face and saw that Xu Xiaohou looked to be only a teenager: "Where did this brat come from? What are you doing causing trouble at our Tongbei Sect?"

"Personal grudge. Is Kong Sen here? I want to challenge him."

Xu Xiaohou remained calm and showed no sign of being intimidated by the many experts in front of him.

Kong Sen?

Li He instructed the apprentice beside him: "Kong Sen is in the backyard, go and call him here."

Someone relayed a message to Kong Sen, and he soon arrived with a bewildered expression.

"Xu Xiaohou?"

He was somewhat surprised to see Xu Xiaohou. He had heard that someone had come to challenge him; was it Xu Xiaohou?

"Master Kong, this person is challenging you, he's here to break into your school."

"Don't you dare embarrass the Tongbei School."

“This kid looks arrogant, teach him a lesson.”

Kong Sen had already reached his limit when he sparred with Xu Xiaohou a few months ago.

Last month, with the help of the Qi and Blood Pill, he broke through to the Innate Realm and is now a master of martial arts in the Tongbei Sect.

"Kong Sen, I lost to you in our last sparring match. I've trained hard for months, and I've come here for revenge. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Xu Xiaohou didn't say that he was born with innate talent, thinking that at his age, he couldn't be considered a "born senior bullying a born junior".

Kong Sen thought to himself, "This kid really holds a grudge," but smiled and shook his head, saying, "We can't spar. I entered the Innate Realm a month ago. If you want to spar with me, wait until you break through to the Innate Realm."

"You've reached the Innate Realm? Perfect, now you're officially in the right!"

Xu Xiaohou was worried that if he beat Kong Sen, others would gossip behind his back. Since the other party was naturally gifted, that was even better.

what?
Kong Sen didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"A fair contest between two naturally gifted individuals, where the winner accepts the loss!"

Xu Xiaohou's words surprised everyone present.

innate?

This person looks to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Is it a congenital condition?

"You were born with a congenital condition?"

Kong Sen knew that his victory last time was due to his progress in stance training.

His advancement to the Innate Realm was a natural progression, as he was already at the limit of acquired talent, and being young and possessing exceptional talent among his peers in martial arts training.

How could Xu Xiaohou be so fast?

"That's right. Where is your martial arts arena?"

Xu Xiaohou couldn't wait to test his innate combat power.

"..."

Kong Sen looked at Li He, the deputy curator beside him, with a pleading look in his eyes.

This is how to do?
Winning against Xu Xiaohou was to be expected, given his age difference of over ten years. Losing would be shameful, not only for himself but also for the martial arts school.

Li He never expected that a young boy would come to challenge him.

Such a young man, who has advanced to the Innate Realm at such a young age, must be exceptionally talented and proud. However, he is straightforward and only cares about winning or losing, without considering the impact on others, making him difficult to deal with.

"Go ahead, and do your best."

He thought that Xu Xiaohou was young and had entered the Xiantian realm, so his martial arts skills wouldn't be very solid.

Surrounded by onlookers, Xu Xiaohou and Kong Sen arrived at the arena in the backyard.
