Can diligence compensate for lack of talent? But I'm a martial arts genius!

Despite offending Liu Yong, Su Changqing didn't take it too seriously and continued to live his busy but fulfilling life, only visiting Li Heilang once a month to collect his salary as a tribute to the Black Wolf Gang.

Amidst all this busyness, both his breathing techniques and the Wild Bull Fist were progressing at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve!

Time flies, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the Woniu Mountain, Su Changqing was practicing the Mangniu Fist as usual.

"Huff! Huff!"

Su Changqing performed a set of Wild Bull Fist with great force and slowness. Accompanied by powerful breathing, the breath he exhaled from his mouth and nose was visible to the naked eye, like white mist. His blood and qi flowed in rhythm with his breathing, and his skin was tinged with a faint red.

"Click click click!"

Maintaining the breathing technique of the Mangniu Fist while practicing the breathing method was extremely physically demanding for Su Changqing. At this moment, when his body reached its limit, Su Changqing suddenly felt his internal organs become scorching hot. A surge of new energy instantly spread to his limbs and bones, causing Su Changqing's muscles and bones to vibrate and tremble!

"laugh!"

At that moment, Su Changqing suddenly threw a punch at a large tree in front of him that was as thick as two people could hug, covered with fist marks. This punch was different from the previous ones, which were simply powerful but showed the ultimate mastery of force!

"Crack!"

The punch slammed into the tree trunk, and a surge of powerful shockwave exploded outwards, cracking the tree and sending wood chips flying. The entire tree shook violently, as if it had been struck by a wild bull at full speed.

"Cool!"

Feeling the faint heat emanating from his internal organs and the unimpeded flow of energy throughout his body, Su Changqing couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

[Breathing Technique Level 4: Mastery (21%): Can be achieved with daily practice over forty years]

[Raging Bull Fist Level 5: Peak Mastery (1%): One practice per day, can be achieved in eighty years]

"Now I have successfully entered the realm of purification, and I have even pushed the Wild Bull Fist to the 5th realm, 'Peak of Perfection'!" Looking at the information on the attribute panel, Su Changqing smiled.

With his talent and hard work, Su Changqing had already entered the fourth level of the breathing technique a month or two ago. During this process, he tempered his internal organs, making them stronger. Not only did he increase the maximum power he could unleash, but his endurance also reached an astonishing level, allowing him to run for dozens of miles at full speed!

Explosive power is important, but endurance is also extremely important.

If a martial artist at the Blood Strengthening Realm goes all out, they will actually be unable to maintain their full power after a few strikes. Over time, they will begin to weaken or even become exhausted.

Meanwhile, martial artists at the Refining Realm possess powerful internal organs, enabling them to unleash even stronger bursts of power. Furthermore, their endurance is astonishing, allowing them to sustain even more explosive power. Simply by relying on their endurance, they can exhaust even a martial artist at the Blood Strengthening Realm.

Besides that, there is of course the practice of the Wild Bull Fist. Reaching the peak of the fifth realm is a realm that ordinary people cannot reach even if they work hard all their lives. It can be said to be the ultimate realm that a martial art can be mastered!

Su Changqing pushed the Mangniu Fist to its extreme in the details, comprehending and mastering the three-fold power of the Mangniu Fist!

"I have transformed my raw energy into controlled explosive power, mastering the unique three forces of the Wild Bull Fist: impact, shock, and thrust. Even if I were to face those two Liu family martial artists, I could easily defeat them with just one hand... My current strength is probably unmatched by anyone else in the Woniu Town area!"

Su Changqing clenched his fist, looking at the tree trunk that he had punched, revealing a dent the size of a bowl, and a sense of confidence welled up in his heart.

This is the "Zhen" force, one of the three fist forces he has mastered in the Wild Bull Fist: "Chong," "Zhen," and "Ding." It is extremely powerful and can cause a person's muscles to crack and bones to shatter!

Last time, when facing two Liu family members at the Blood Realm, Su Changqing relied on a fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries, using brute force to overcome skill, and he himself was injured in order to defeat the two.

But now, relying solely on his unparalleled Raging Bull Fist, Su Changqing is confident that he can easily defeat them with one hand.

With the advancement to the Refining Realm, his physical strength and explosive power have greatly increased. In fact, in the Woniu Town area, it may be difficult to find a second martial artist who can compare with him!

"What I need to do now is to cultivate my internal organs and allow them to grow to their full potential."

Feeling the intense exercise and the faint burning sensation in his internal organs, Su Changqing thought to himself.

"I'll go see Li Heilang in a couple of days and ask him if he can procure any medicinal herbs that will help with refining."

Su Changqing thought to himself.

Since entering the Refining Realm, Su Changqing has been able to feel that while using breathing techniques to temper his internal organs is effective, it is limited. Just as growth requires nutrients, so too does refining the internal organs!

The medicinal herbs used in the Refining Cultivation Clinic are quite rare and not usually sold in pharmacies. Su Changqing thought that perhaps Li Heilang could help him acquire some.

At Li Heilang's invitation, Su Changqing became a retainer of the Black Wolf Gang, receiving a high monthly salary, which was the source of income that allowed him to focus on his cultivation!

Two days later, it was the day Su Changqing would meet with Li Heilang every month.

Late at night, outside the Black Wolf Gang's manor in Woniu Town, Su Changqing, dressed in black, slowly walked towards the Black Wolf Gang.

"Mr. Cow!"

When the Black Wolf Gang warriors on duty saw Su Changqing arrive, they all bowed respectfully, knowing that he was a retainer personally hired by the Black Wolf Gang leader, and that he held a very high position!

"Okay, take me to see Chief Li."

Su Changqing nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, please follow me."

A Black Wolf Gang member nodded in agreement, and Su Changqing followed him into the manor.

"Please wait a moment, the gang leader will be here shortly."

The Black Wolf Gang warrior led Su Changqing into a large hall, then turned and left.

"Um?"

Su Changqing frowned slightly and twitched his ears, hearing a very faint sound, as if a group of people were approaching, deliberately keeping their voices down. However, Su Changqing had reached the Refining Realm, and his five senses were sharp, so he still heard the slight movement, which made him alert!

"Mr. Niu, the gang leader is waiting in another hall. Please come in."

Before long, the Black Wolf Gang warrior returned and respectfully bowed his head in invitation.

But as Su Changqing nodded, a ferocious glint appeared in the eyes of the Black Wolf Gang warrior. Suddenly, without warning, he made a fist and a short dagger slid out from his sleeve, which he then held in his hand and thrust at Su Changqing's vital chest!

The dagger flashed with a cold light; the attack was extremely sudden!

However, Su Changqing's eyes did not change at all. Hearing the slight noise outside had already alerted him. Faced with this sudden attack, Su Changqing, who was sitting in the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair and kicked out with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

The Black Wolf Gang warrior felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if his internal organs were being twisted into a knot. A powerful force shoved him away, sending him tumbling and crashing to the ground. Blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't even utter a wail.

Su Changqing's face beneath the hood was somewhat gloomy. He ignored the Black Wolf Gang warrior who had ambushed him, stood up, went outside the room, and glanced around.

A crowd of nearly a hundred people had gathered outside the hall, some holding torches and others carrying weapons, all their eyes fixed on Su Changqing, who was dressed in a black robe.

Six months ago, the Black Wolf Gang swallowed up the Tiger Gang's power in a battle, and now it is the undisputed largest gang in the Woniu Town area. However, its current appearance clearly indicates that it has ill intentions!

"Where is Master Li? What does this mean?"

Su Changqing's voice was low and hoarse. He wasn't stupid and naturally realized that this scene was obviously aimed at him. But this puzzled Su Changqing. He and Li Heilang had a win-win cooperative relationship. He hadn't threatened Li Heilang's position. Why did the other party need to make such a big show of it?

"Li Heilang is dead."

At this moment, a cold voice rang out, and the disciples made way for a group of people. The one who spoke was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

This man was none other than Chen Feihu, the former leader of the Tiger Gang!
