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

Chapter 164 Qin Shi's Wrath

The Su residence.

Su Yu sat upright in the main seat, listening to Li Da report on the affairs of the government.

"My lord, the suspicious figure you instructed us to keep an eye on hasn't been caught red-handed yet. However, Commander Su Can has strengthened the manor's overt and covert sentries and recruited a group of new guards with impeccable backgrounds. They are currently training them, and the manor's security will become increasingly comprehensive in the future."

Su Yu nodded, then changed the subject: "Has the Jiang family sent any new treasure fish?"

A hint of joy appeared on Li Da's face: "They've arrived! The old steward of the Jiang family personally escorted them, a total of seven treasure fish! Especially three of them, which are all rare treasure fish. The Yin-Yang Lotus Pond in the backyard has been expanded again, just enough to barely accommodate these treasures."

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Su Yu's heart stirred, and he strode towards the backyard.

In the backyard, there is a lotus pond with yin and yang symbolism.

After another round of renovations, the original lotus pond was expanded to twice its original size, now occupying almost half of the courtyard.

At this moment, the Lotus Yin-Yang Pool was shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

Seven different-shaped treasure fish swam in the pool, each radiating an alluring spiritual energy.

Su Yu's gaze first locked onto the Frost Bass in the icy pool. Its body was crystal clear, and it exhaled white mist; it was the most mystical of them all.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze shifted to Yangchi.

A strange fish, about ten feet long and entirely deep purple, was thrashing about in the water. Its body was covered with blue lightning patterns, and as it swam, faint arcs of electricity flickered and crackled.

Purple Lightning Demon Eel!

This precious fish contains a trace of lightning power, which can not only temper the body and increase blood and qi, but also stimulate nerve reactions, making it remarkably effective for cultivating movement techniques.

In the Tai Chi Eye where the two pools meet, a fist-sized, spherical fish covered in soft golden spines floats silently.

Golden agouti!

This treasure fish is very similar to the pufferfish of my previous life. Although it is highly poisonous, if cooked in a special way, it can produce pufferfish meat that is highly nourishing and has an excellent taste.

"Alright, with so many treasure fish, plus the Black Rock Ironback Crocodile meat I brought back, my strength will definitely see another leap forward!"

Just as he was deciding which fish to catch first for a treat, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front yard.

"Sir! Something has happened!"

Li Jin, the gatekeeper, rushed in, panting heavily, his face ashen: "Someone from the White Ape Martial Arts School has arrived! They say Master Qin urgently summons you to the school immediately, without a moment's delay!"

Su Yu frowned.

Qin Shi was usually very calm and collected; even if the sky were to fall, he would first take a couple of bites of chicken feet. Such an urgent summons was unprecedented for him.

"Get the car ready!" Su Yu decided immediately. "To the martial arts gym!"

"Yes, sir!"

The atmosphere at the White Ape Martial Arts Academy was as oppressive as the calm before a storm.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, Su Yu sensed that something was wrong.

The once bustling martial arts training ground in the front yard was now eerily silent.

Hundreds of apprentices were trembling with fear, not daring to even breathe. When Su Yu entered, they merely bowed hastily, their eyes...

There was fear and unease in their eyes. A thick gloom seemed to hang over the entire martial arts gym, making it hard to breathe.

This situation made Su Yu's heart sink; it seemed that something bad had happened.

He strode quickly through the front yard and into the inner courtyard. Several of his senior brothers, who were usually so talkative and cheerful, now had somber expressions, and some even had red eyes. Su Yu didn't ask any questions and went straight to push open Master Qin's door.

"The room creaked open, and the atmosphere was equally oppressive."

Qin Fangqiong sat upright in the armchair, his usual food gone. His once cloudy eyes were now bloodshot, and he exuded a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine, like a ferocious white ape suppressing its raging fury, ready to devour anyone at any moment.

Beside him, Qin Yu, Xu Feng, Lin Wanzhu, Jiang Liuchuan, Chen Fan, and a group of his direct disciples stood solemnly, each with a grief-stricken expression.

Only one person is missing.

Qi Linfeng, the senior disciple who was always calm and composed.

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she silently walked to the side and stood still.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Qin Fangqiong slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the disciples, her voice terribly hoarse: "Your eldest brother—yesterday, while on a mission outside the city for the Security Bureau, was ambushed by a mysterious expert."

"They have now perished outside the city."

"boom!"

This short sentence was like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

The room was deathly silent.

Su Yu's pupils contracted sharply, a ripple of emotion stirring within him.

Senior Brother—dead?!

That senior brother, who was at the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm and was just one step away from stepping into the Tendon Forging Realm, and was known as the pillar of the White Ape Martial Arts School, actually died just like that.

"Master—Eldest Brother—"

Lin Wanzhu's delicate body trembled slightly, her voice strained with disbelief: "Really—dead? Have you seen the body?"

Qin Fangqiong knew of her disciples' shock, and a trace of grief flashed in her eyes: "Lin Feng's body is in the morgue of the prefectural government. I went there personally to confirm it."

"Waaaaahh ...

Upon hearing this confirmed news, Qin Yu finally couldn't hold back and covered her mouth, bursting into tears.

This was the first time this usually domineering senior sister had shown such sadness and pain.

Su Yu also felt a pang of sorrow. He understood Qin Yu's feelings. Senior Brother Qi Linfeng had entered the martial arts school at a young age. Due to his outstanding talent, he was taken in as a personal disciple by Master Qin. Under Master Qin's guidance, his progress in martial arts had always been far ahead of his peers. He was also calm and composed, which made Master Qin very fond of him.

Afterwards, he successfully broke through to the Body Refining Realm and became Master Qin's most prized disciple.

Since becoming the senior disciple, Qi Linfeng has been dedicated and responsible. It can be said that almost all the disciples of the White Ape Martial Arts School have received his care.

Su Yu also respected him. Back then on the martial arts arena, if it weren't for the senior brother stopping Kou Xun, who knows what would have happened!

"Master, who is behind this? Are there any clues?"

Xu Feng's eyes were somewhat bloodshot, and everyone could feel the suppressed madness emanating from him, as if he were about to kill someone.

Qin Fangqiong suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table.

"Snap!"

The hard porcelain cup turned to dust in his hands, and the scalding tea mixed with the porcelain dust flowed down, but he was completely unaware.

"I examined Lin Feng's injuries. His sternum is shattered, and his internal organs are completely destroyed—there are still fragments of bone remaining in the wounds!"

"Bone-Shattering Martial Arts School?"

Lin Wanzhu took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down: "Senior Brother is at the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm, his combat power is unparalleled. Those Flesh Refining Realm disciples from the Shattered Bone Martial Arts Hall are no match for him. Only a Tendon Forging Realm expert could kill him and prevent him from even escaping!"

Qin Yu suddenly looked up, her pretty face contorted with anger: "It's Zhou Sinan! It must be him! Apart from that old bastard, no one in the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School could kill our senior brother!"

Zhou Sinan, the master of the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School, is a veteran expert in the Tendon Forging Realm. He had a grudge against Qin Fangqiong back then, but the details of the grudge were unknown to his many disciples.

"A blood debt must be repaid in blood!"

Qin Fangqiong remained expressionless, her voice icy as she said, "I will personally avenge Lin Feng!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes to suppress his emotions: "I'm telling you this to warn you! The Shattered Bone Martial Arts School dared to attack Lin Feng; they've completely broken all pretense of civility. They must have powerful backing and methods behind them! You must be careful during this time!"

"Furthermore, the Lantern Festival is less than twenty days away. Blackstone City is currently a melting pot of all sorts, rife with open and covert struggles. The government intends to use this grand event to bring various forces to the ring, determining their status through martial arts. While my White Ape Martial Arts School is currently enjoying great prestige, it has also attracted considerable attention, and I fear many forces will challenge it. Especially those who have recently come from Liangzhou and Jian'an Prefecture, such as the increasingly renowned Flying Fish Martial Arts School—you must be careful then!"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Yu and Chen Fan, "Sparring between those at the Body Refining Realm represents the cultivation of the younger generation and is of utmost importance for promoting the reputation of the martial arts school. You two must give it your all in this Lantern Festival."

After saying that, Qin Fangqiong, contrary to her usual demeanor, added, "If it's beyond our control, prioritizing our own safety and withdrawing from the competition is not out of the question. Ultimately, the reputation of the martial arts school will be upheld by your teacher!"

"Yes, Master!"

After returning to the Su residence, Su Yu suppressed all the worries in his mind.

"At this critical juncture, the only fundamental solution is to enhance our strength!"

For the next five days, Su Yu maintained a daily intake of one treasure fish and ten catties of Black Rock Ironback Crocodile meat, focusing all his efforts on improving the White Ape Fist and the Spirit Ape Demon Subduing Blade.

On this day, after eating the last piece of roasted Black Rock Ironback Crocodile meat, the limit-breaking points were finally accumulated to 1 point again.

[Breakthrough Point]: 1 points (Progress 1%)
