Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 147 is worthy of the title! Undeterred even upon seeing a god!
As expected, three bullets entered Chen Zhan's hand, "pfft~ pfft~ pfft~"

Third tone.

Everyone was speechless. What was going on? Was this a demonstration of Ye Ningzhen's marksmanship?

Ye Ningzhen sat down after firing the shot.

After Chen Zhan was shot, he still looked the same as before. He walked in from outside the door with his hands open, revealing three tiny red holes in his palms, which were gleaming with light. These were the very spots where he had just been shot.

But surprisingly, no blood flowed out.

As Chen Zhan slowly walked in, Zhao Yuting was about to speak when Huo Diange stopped him, signaling him not to speak.

Chen Zhan had only taken a few steps when the muscles and tendons in his hand vibrated, and three bullets slowly emerged from the hole.

It fell into my hands.

The sight caused everyone to gasp in shock, as snowflakes drifted down onto their faces from outside the door, seemingly unnoticed.

I was shocked beyond words.

Three bullets landed with a 'clink'.

Chen Zhan did not bleed at all from his hands and walked back to his seat in a few steps.

Not only could the bullets not penetrate it, but it also left no mark!

It's not entirely accurate to say it's harmless, but can a cut on the hand really be considered an injury for someone who practices martial arts?
Even a casual sparring match would result in a more serious abrasion than this.

"This! This! Is this even human?"

"Is it really Li Yuanba resurrected?"

After Chen Zhan sat down, seeing that everyone remained silent for a long time, he smiled and said:

"Gun and cannon are powerful, but they may not be more suitable for oneself than the path of martial arts. Gun and cannon are ultimately too dependent on external forces and have great limitations. At the distance just now, if I made a move, Ningzhen could only fire one shot. If her reaction was even half a second slower, she wouldn't be able to fire a single shot."

"When boxing is practiced to a high level, it may not be impossible to defeat guns and cannons."

His words jolted everyone awake.

Huo Diange was the most surprised person, unable to recover for a long time. Others might not understand, but he knew the strength of the Core Formation Realm. Even his master, Li Shuwen, in his youth, would not have dared to take a bullet head-on.

The impact of a bullet, concentrated at a single point, is extremely powerful.

If it hits a non-vital area, it's not fatal, and the body can force it out through the peristalsis of muscles and bones.

But the first one won't be as easy as Chen Zhan's.
It's impossible that they couldn't break through!

When Chen Zhan opened his hand after those three shots, he saw the bullet tails in the holes, indicating that they hadn't penetrated much of his flesh.

In other words, it was really just a superficial injury for Chen Zhan.

This is somewhat terrifying.

If the gun hadn't been tampered with, Chen Zhan's physique would have surpassed all the grandmasters of the past and present, even the five great grandmasters of the Republic of China at their peak.

Wang Wu, the Great Swordsman, couldn't break through the Qing musketeer squad by himself.

With such a level of defense from head to toe, Chen Zhanruo charged into the hail of bullets, recklessly inflicting casualties.
That would be terrifying.

"If no one speaks, then it's settled. We'll fight on that day, and you'll be on my orders."

Seeing the silence of the crowd below, Chen Zhan spoke again.

"I will certainly follow your arrangements." Duan Wu was completely convinced.

"Master, we are completely convinced. From now on, if you say one, Old Xiong will never say two."

"Your skill is so great that it reaches the heavens and shakes the earth. We've seen many martial arts masters, but your skill is truly the first of its kind."

Everyone in this are experts at the Dark Force level; none of them are weak in martial arts. Naturally, they can see that Chen Zhan is not using tricks.

Moreover, trickery is pointless. Chen Zhan is not trying to persuade them to go to their deaths, but to fight in their place. Once on the stage, the Japanese won't be interested in tricks!
After everyone had finished praising him, someone finally couldn't wait to ask, "Is this the Dan Jin that comes after Hua Jin? The wonders that Headmaster Chen has shown can only be at this level."

Chen Zhan nodded, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. If I can reach this level, so can you."

"Furthermore, I can tell you all clearly that I have not reached the end of the martial arts path; there is still a road ahead."

His words immediately caused an uproar below.

"Sect Leader Chen, is it true?!"

Huo Diange asked this question: Is there a road ahead? He had heard Li Shuwen ask this question countless times, but Li Shuwen was not sure.

It's just that his achievements are unfathomable, and there might be another path after he reaches the elixir stage, but he can't find it.

But that might just be an illusion. Reaching the level of "Baodan" (a state of spiritual cultivation where one can generate thousands of pounds of force in a single punch) is already the limit. It's about tearing apart tigers and leopards, and fighting bears and elephants.

Legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha possessed the strength to throw an elephant, enabling him to travel thousands of miles to spread his teachings. How could he have done so without the ability to protect the Dharma?

But it's also possible after achieving the elixir of immortality.

Aside from Buddhist spiritual attainments, is there any difference between a master of alchemy and Shakyamuni Buddha?
Chen Zhan clearly stated at this moment that there is still a path to take after reaching the Dantian stage.

"The Dao of Alchemy is profound and has all sorts of extraordinary and inconceivable abilities, but it is still human. Look, even a bullet can hurt me."

As Chen Zhan spoke, he opened his palm. The wound on his hand had already closed up, leaving only a small cross-shaped cut that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

Everyone's eyes twitched. Is this still considered an injury?
However, Chen Zhan then made an even more surprising statement.

"In my understanding, going a step further would mean being almost completely immune to bullets, and even various cannons and explosives might not be able to kill you."

"With an immortal body and indestructible body, one can maintain peak physical condition at all times, extending lifespan by an unknown amount. Maintaining peak condition until seventy or eighty years old is commonplace."

Chen Zhan spoke calmly, but to them it was like a thunderbolt; such a secret would not be heard again outside of this place.

Before martial arts levels were defined, practitioners had no clear goals. They only knew that once they developed dual strength, also known as hidden strength, their physical abilities and skills would improve.

Later, a division of realms was established.

However, there is no such thing as "embracing the elixir".

The technique of "embracing the elixir and sitting on the hips, with the golden elixir entering the abdomen" was only known to martial artists a few decades ago. Even if a great master of boxing possessed such strength before, he would not reveal it to outsiders.

Revealing your secret techniques and bottom line is a major taboo.

However, the realm of "Baodan" is a level that most people can only dream of, and it is extremely rare in the Chinese martial arts world.

But Chen Zhan said, "There's more above that!"

There's another level to reach! There's still a path to follow!
"After reaching the Core Formation stage, how should we define the next level?" Xiong Hanshan asked, his breathing rapid. He was certain that Chen Zhan was not talking nonsense.

Chen Zhan looked at him and shook his head: "To be honest, I can only understand it intuitively, and I don't know how many of its mysteries are involved."

"However, if I had to say, I could clearly perceive the activity of every organ, bone, blood vessel, nerve, and even cell in the body, as clearly as a mirror reflecting objects, showing every detail."

"It can be called 'seeing the divine,' understanding the 'spirit' of the body. After understanding all the mysteries of the body, one can control every bit of qi and blood, and accelerate the regeneration of qi and blood in local injuries, so that the body will never be damaged."

Overall, it can be described as: "Undying even when facing God!"

"Seeing Gods Without Destruction? Seeing Gods Without Destruction! The Grand Master is truly talented. This realm is incredibly clear and applicable; it's practically tailor-made for you."

Whether Xiong Hanshan genuinely believed this or was just flattering him, he exaggerated it quite a bit.

Chen Zhan waved his hand, telling him not to exaggerate.

"Everyone, the prosperity of our martial arts sect depends on you all. Miss Gong has invited the chef from Fengming Tower, so let's all try some of Fengtian's specialties together."

After Chen Zhan finished speaking, he handed the task over to Gong Ruomei for arrangements.

Chen Zhan's kung fu skills haven't reached the point of losing his appetite, but the Northeastern cuisine of this era certainly has its own unique characteristics.

In later generations, a single bite could land you in jail for life, but now you can feast to your heart's content.

Gong Ruomei has no shortage of money now, and Chen Zhan even returned the whole box, which can be used to entertain fellow practitioners from all sides.

It was also an opportunity for her to do someone a favor.

"He who eats another's food is bound to him." If Gong Ruomei goes to the south in the future and has conflicts with the sects present today, she will have more acquaintance and friendship.

The chef at Fengminglou was very efficient; this wasn't the first time the Gong family had hired someone to cook for them.

The Gong family had previously hosted even more people, and everything proceeded smoothly and quickly, with dishes being served and prepared in an orderly manner.

Orchid Bear Paw, Braised Deer Tail, Braised Elk Nose, Three Immortals of the Earth (before improvement), Monkey Head Flying Dragon, Steamed Snow Frog, Braised Roe Deer, Flying Dragon Soup.

A lavish banquet was held, with dishes that weren't particularly refined, but most of the people in the group had never seen them before.

Inside, it was fine; everyone there was worldly-wise. But the group in the courtyard didn't care about that. Many of them were there just to get a free meal, so they were enjoying their feast.

Eat a huge meal.

However, at Chen Zhan's instruction, no wine was provided.

Those who practice martial arts should drink less alcohol, as it harms their health and vitality. Moreover, these young men who lack skill may cause trouble if they drink too much.

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.
