I am a high-level martial arts master.

On the training ground, countless disciples gathered to diligently practice their martial arts.

A few days ago, Ye Li and Li Xi, two of the top two new talents, had a match.

Both the outcome of the battle and the rumors circulating among the enforcement team caused quite a stir among these disciples.

But soon, this anecdote was forgotten as a diversion in the fiercely competitive atmosphere.

After all, life is incredibly cruel, and these seemingly tiring six months determine the upper limit of their entire lives.

Martial arts training is 30% practice and 70% nutrition!

Aside from the fact that the Azure Dragon Gang provided meals with plenty of fish and meat for the first six months, everyone else had to buy their own food afterwards!

So if they get past the novice stage, given the productivity of ancient times, let alone body tempering pills, these scoundrels wouldn't even be able to afford food!

The monthly allowance for an ordinary hoodlum is considered quite generous compared to most people at the bottom of society.

However, in order to maintain the daily meat needed for martial arts training, a single month's worth of meat could consume half a year's income for an average family.

If one cannot obtain the money to buy high-quality meat, a normal person's food intake can at most maintain their strength without declining!

Lu Yue was just an ordinary new disciple of the Azure Dragon Gang!

His talent was mediocre, and the only attributes he obtained were basic white attributes, which could only increase his strength by 10%!

Five months had passed since he joined the Azure Dragon Gang!

Entry into the country remains a long way off!

Just days before he was about to become an ordinary member of the patron gang, a deal unexpectedly fell into his lap!

Not long ago, inside the pharmacy!

Lu Yue looked at Li Xi, whose arms were wrapped in bandages, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You mean you want me to cripple Ye Li for you?"

"Not bad!" Li Xi gritted his teeth and said, "You've been in the gang for over five months now; dealing with a formidable opponent like Ye Li is more than enough for you!"

"That's natural!"

Lu Yue replied matter-of-factly, "No matter how talented Ye Li is, he's only been in the gang for a month. I could easily beat him with one hand!"

"But... why should I help you?"

"Ye Li is a genius valued by the gang. If I cripple him, they'll blame me later..."

"It doesn't have to be too serious, just avoid violence for two months!"

Li Xi, feeling the throbbing pain in his arms, said with a face full of resentment, "Once I recover, I will personally take it back!"

"I am also a genius no less than Ye Li, and I have the Li family backing me up!"

"Once I personally kill Ye Li, you won't have to worry about revenge anymore!"

"After it's done, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver!" Li Xi said, a hint of pain in his eyes.

Upon hearing that it would cost a hundred taels of silver, Lu Yue's eyes lit up with desire!

That's his monthly allowance for the past three years!

Most importantly, with this money, he could cultivate to the Body Tempering Realm!

If you break through, although you won't become a core disciple, your situation will improve significantly!

The goal is to severely injure Ye Li without killing him, at most he'll get a few dozen blows from the Enforcement Hall – a highly profitable deal!

"Okay, I'll take this deal!" Lu Yue readily agreed!

"Be careful, that Ye Li is very strange. His skill description is 'Exceptional Quick-witted,' and he's already mastered the martial arts the gang gave us!"

"Strange? What am I afraid of with a newbie?"

……

Let's return to the training ground.

Lu Yue practiced the pile driving technique somewhat absentmindedly!

Standing around him at that moment were two fellow disciples who had also joined the sect five months prior.

He paid 10 taels of silver to hire these people to help him fight!

The one with the armbands is called Gao Xu, and the shorter one is called Chang Qing!

Lu Yue had originally found three people, but one of them didn't want to get involved and ran away at the last minute.

"Wasn't Ye Li only confined by Instructor Feng for three days?" Gao Xu yawned. "It's been seven days already, why haven't we seen him at the training grounds yet?"

Chang Qing chimed in, "That kid's been elusive lately, Brother Lu, why don't we just find him and cripple him?"

"How can that be? That Li kid wants us to break both his legs in public."

Lu Yue rolled his eyes: "Secretly crippling him isn't shameful enough; what if we don't get the money!"

Chang Qing, who was standing nearby, slapped his forehead and said, "Hey! Brother Lu, I have an idea!"

"Oh, you have a plan too?"

"Right, aren't there two newly joined disciples staying at Ye Li's place? If we beat them up, Ye Li won't have to worry about not showing up!"

As Chang Qing spoke, he looked at Wang Xian and Zhao Yan in another direction of the training ground and said, "You, those are the two."

Following Chang Qing's direction, the three of them focused their gazes on the two people in the distance, and at the same time revealed malicious smiles.

Meanwhile, at the other end, Ye Li was carrying a package and heading towards the training ground!

He had just broken through to the Body Tempering Realm and was preparing to come to the training ground to report to Feng Yue and express his gratitude to Wang Xian.

However, he was stopped before he could enter the martial arts arena!

"Brother Ye, you can't enter this martial arts arena, or you'll be killed!!!" A tall, burly young man with protruding ears blocked Ye Li's way.

"Oh?!" Ye Li looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Could you explain it more clearly?"

The young man explained, "Li Xi spent a fortune to have Lu Yue and the other two cripple you in public. They're right here in the training grounds; for you, this training grounds are like a den of dragons and tigers!"

"Li Xi?" Ye Li asked, slightly surprised. "How did you know, Senior Brother?"

"I am unworthy of such praise. Lu Yue once asked me to join forces against Brother Ye, but I resolutely refused. I have come here specifically to remind Brother Ye!"

The young man spoke with a serious expression; he was the third person to refuse Lu Yue.

However, instead of betting 10 taels of silver, he chose to bet big instead!

I'm betting that Ye Li, the genius who defeated Li Xi, will soar to great heights in the future!

"I wonder if these three people have entered the country?"

"No!"

"That's good! I understand now, thank you for letting me know, brother!"

After saying that, Ye Li walked past the young man and went inside with his head down!

"Wait, what are you doing!" Seeing Ye Li continue to walk inside, the young man exclaimed anxiously, "Are you out of your mind?"

As if his words had an effect, Ye Li paused in his steps:

"May I ask your honorable name, senior brother?"

"My name is Wang Rui!"

"I have remembered your kindness, Brother Wang, and I will surely repay you in the future!"

Despite Wang Rui's repeated attempts to stop him, Ye Li continued forward.

As he passed by, he casually remarked, "Brother Wang, rest assured, I have already tempered my body! Let's see who emerges victorious!"

These words were like nails, pinning Wang Rui to the spot!

The four words, "I have tempered my body," echoed in my mind like a resounding bell!

"This...it's only been less than two months..."

Watching Ye Li stride confidently towards the training ground, Wang Rui was deeply shocked and murmured, "Truly a celestial being!"

Meanwhile, Ye Li barged into the martial arts hall alone!

Then, he focused his energy into his dantian.

A thunderous shout resounded throughout the entire training ground:

"Who is Lu Yue! Step forward!"

Having said that, his eyes, like those of a hawk, scanned the arena.

When he saw the three people gathered around Wang Xian, a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes!
