From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 137 One Punch

White Ape Martial Arts School, the training ground in the front yard.

The warm winter sun shone on the spacious courtyard, dispelling the chill of the morning.

Qin Fangqiong stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sweeping over the new apprentices, who numbered a full 20% more, and she was in a very good mood.

He gathered his strength in his dantian, and his voice boomed like a great bell in everyone's ears: "I know why you all came to the White Ape Martial Arts School!"

"Among you, some come from impoverished backgrounds, carrying bags at the docks every day just to earn a bowl of coarse rice; others have fallen on hard times, suffering oppression from gangsters and thugs, daring not to speak out against their anger."

"You've come here for only one purpose: to change your fate!"

Upon hearing those two words, many simply dressed teenagers in the audience instantly became heavy-hearted, their eyes blazing with passion.

Qin Fangqiong pointed at Su Yu and Chen Fan, who were standing at the very front: "Look at your senior brothers!"

"A year ago, Su Yu was just like you, an insignificant fisherman's son outside the city, risking his life for wealth on the Blackwater River every day. Chen Fan was also just a poor boy!"

"But what about now?"

Qin Fangqiong's voice rose considerably: "Now they are among the top ten in the martial arts examination! They are honored guests that all major powers are vying to win over! They are true martial artists who can shatter a monument with a single punch and sever a river with a single sword!"

"The path of martial arts doesn't ask about background; it only judges by one's fists!"

"As long as you're willing to endure hardship and fight with all your might, the White Ape Martial Arts School can give you the techniques and the opportunity! If Su Yu and Chen Fan can do it, why can't you!"

The hundreds of apprentices below the stage were so excited by these words that their faces turned red, and they roared out at the top of their lungs, their voices like a tidal wave that soared into the sky.

Looking at the excited apprentices, Qin Fangqiong nodded in satisfaction.

Back in the inner courtyard, Qin Fangqiong sat upright in a grand chair on the steps, took the orange that her daughter Qin Yu had peeled, and glanced at the dozens of elite martial artists below.

"In the new year, I will test your martial arts progress. Let's begin."

"Junior Brother Song, you go first." Lin Wanzhu opened the roster and called out names.

A dark-skinned man stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a smile, "Master Qin, I've been on seven or eight escort missions this year, risking my life—"

After several battles, I feel I've improved a lot!

After saying that, Song Xuan assumed a fighting stance and performed a set of White Ape Fist. Although his Qi and Blood Realm was stuck at one of his acupoints not being fully developed, his fist technique was agile and already showed some skill.

After reading it, Qin Fangqiong nodded slightly and pointed out the key point: "It has plenty of agility, but lacks domineering power. Since it is difficult to improve your qi and blood, you might as well learn a weapon as well."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Qin!"

Subsequently, the fellow apprentices took turns going forward to practice.

Su Yu watched silently from the side, his mind clear. Most of these fellow disciples had exhausted their potential and were stuck at their current cultivation level. But this didn't stop them from thriving in Blackstone City; after all, once they reached the Martial Artist realm, they were already among the elite.

The martial arts school served as a bond, forming a vast community of shared interests. This reminded him of his alumni association from his previous life, even more tightly knit than that.

In the afternoon, the assessment for ordinary disciples concluded.

Qin Fangqiong's gaze finally fell on her several personal disciples.

Qi Linfeng, Lin Wanzhu, Xu Feng, Jiang Liuchuan, and Su Yu and Chen Fan standing at the end.

"Su Yu, Chen Fan, you two step forward."

A glint of light flashed in Qin Fangqiong's eyes, and her tone was meaningful: "You two are the most outstanding talents of this generation of my White Ape Martial Arts School, but while there is no first place in literature, there is no second place in martial arts. Let's take this opportunity to determine who is better."

"The winner is sixth, the loser is seventh!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him with curiosity.

Su Yu and Chen Fan are both the most outstanding geniuses of the White Ape Martial Arts School, and everyone is quite curious about who is better.

Although Su Yu has gained more fame recently, Chen Fan is, after all, a person with superior physical constitution, and no one knows exactly how much he has improved recently.

"Master, since it's a competition, why not add some prizes?"

Jiang Liuchuan walked out, waving a feather fan and smiling, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"Whatever you say." Qin Fangqiong waved her hand.

"Alright!" Jiang Liuchuan immediately had a table brought over and shouted, "Come on, come on! Place your bets! Put those betting on Junior Brother Su to the left, and those betting on Junior Brother Chen to the right! The winner will get 10% as a prize!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanzhu slapped her hand heavily on her left side, placing a two-hundred-tael silver note on it.

"Junior Brother Su, you win!"

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Su Yu. This kid was a monster who had comprehended the essence of the sword; how could Chen Fan possibly win? However, to ensure the bet would go through, she didn't dare place too much bet.

Xu Feng looked at Su Yu, filled with emotion. He had only been on a delivery mission for less than half a year, and Su Yu had already grown to such a level. He had indeed not misjudged him. As he spoke, he took out one hundred taels and bet on Su Yu.

Qin Yu also showed curiosity. A year ago, she must have thought highly of Chen Fan and didn't even care about Su Yu.

However, in the past year, Su Yu has created one miracle after another before her eyes, which has completely changed her opinion of him.

Now she finds it difficult to judge who is the number one genius in the martial arts school.

She walked to the table, clapped her hands together, and placed two hundred-tael silver notes on either side, saying, "Consider it a sponsorship for them!"

The other fellow disciples were also discussing it animatedly.

"Senior Brother Su killed Song Qingya, so he's definitely the winner!"

"Not necessarily! Senior Brother Chen has superior aptitude; he must have made great progress during his seclusion and arduous cultivation."

"Didn't you see how confident Senior Brother Chen looks? He must have a trump card up his sleeve. I'm betting on him too!"

"I'm beating Junior Brother Chen! You have no idea how terrifying superior physique is. If I had superior physique, I wouldn't be stuck in this secondary acupoint!"

Soon, both sides had raised five or six hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Liuchuan glanced around and noticed that there were slightly more people betting on Su Yu.

He chuckled inwardly: You all don't know that Junior Brother Chen has already broken through to the Pre-Mirror Acupoint, do you? Moreover, his swordsmanship has also broken through to the Proficient level, and he has even mastered the Blood Shadow Tracking!

In this round, Junior Brother Chen has a better chance of winning!

So, he decisively took out two hundred-tael silver notes and slapped them on Chen Fan's side. After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and took one back.

Let's play it safe. Su Yu always surprises us.

On the field.

Su Yu and Chen Fan separated, while Qin Yu stood in the middle as the referee.

Su Yu was empty-handed, without unsheathing the Mo Yuan Blade from his waist, his expression calm as still water.

On the other side, Su Yu's appearance caught Chen Fan's eye, instantly twisting his heart like a venomous snake.

Damn it! You didn't even draw your knife? Are you looking down on me?

Do you think you're the only one who broke through the Qianjing Tanzhong acupoint?

If even a piece of trash like you can break through, do you think I can't?

good good!

Since you're so arrogant, I'll take this opportunity to cripple you in one fell swoop!

Let's see who the real genius of the White Ape Martial Arts School is!

Chen Fan took a deep breath, slowly drew his longsword, and forced a fake smile: "Junior Brother Su, aren't you going to draw your sword? My Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade broke through to the proficiency level a few days ago. Swords have no eyes, and it wouldn't be good if it hurt you."

"Have you reached a proficient level?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers were immediately shocked.

"Good heavens, Senior Brother Chen truly lives up to his reputation as a genius; his swordsmanship has also broken through to a higher level!"

"Senior Brother Su hasn't even drawn his sword yet, how arrogant!"

Lin Wanzhu was also feeling a little anxious.

What's wrong with this kid? Draw your sword! With your rudimentary swordsmanship, you're sure to win. Why are you planning to fight bare-handed?

Qin Fangqiong then took a satisfied bite of a chicken foot.

Indeed, this disciple needs a bit of motivation. He and Su Yu will only improve faster if they compete with each other!

Despite the surprise and confusion of the crowd, Su Yu remained calm and composed.

He had no intention of holding back against Chen Fan. Chen Fan's change in attitude towards him had made him somewhat unhappy, and the way Chen Fan looked at him also concealed ill intentions.

If that's the case, then defeat him with one punch and solidify his title as the number one genius of the White Ape Martial Arts Academy!

Seeing Su Yu's expression, Qin Yu reminded him, "Junior Brother Su, are you sure you don't want to draw your sword?"

Su Yu shook his head.

Qin Yu frowned, somewhat worried that Su Yu was being overconfident, but could only loudly announce, "Let the spar begin!"

As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, a hint of malice flashed in Chen Fan's eyes: "I'll cripple you with one strike!"

"Bang!"

The blue bricks beneath his feet shattered instantly, and he seemed to transform into a blood-red afterimage, moving at an astonishing speed—the superior movement technique, Blood Shadow Perplexity!

In an instant, he traversed several meters and appeared before Su Yu. He raised his longsword high, his blood energy erupting, and with a piercing whistling sound, he slashed down fiercely!

"Subdue the demon and split the mountain!"

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless, aimed directly at Su Yu's shoulder; clearly, no one intended to hold back!

"So fast! What excellent swordsmanship!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

However, Su Yu remained calm in the face of this domineering strike. His right fist turned bluish-black as he threw a punch, directly meeting the descending blade.

"Bang!"

The two collided, and the outcome was not as evenly matched as everyone had imagined.

Su Yu's iron fist slammed into the blade like a battering ram, the immense force instantly sending the longsword flying before it landed on Chen Fan's chest.

"Snap!"

A sound of bone cracking rang out.

Before Chen Fan could even scream, he was sent flying five or six zhang away like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the weapon rack in the training ground, shattering it into pieces and scattering them all over the ground.

A collective gasp filled the room.
