I am a high-level martial arts master.

Inside the courtyard on Changyuan Street.

Ye Li sat cross-legged in the main room, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

He is using his past cultivation experience to analyze and verify the "Nine Palaces of Star Shift".

Although most of the insights gained from past spiritual practice came from the infusion of extraordinary wisdom.

But reality is not a game; every time you acquire a new martial arts manual, you have to start practicing from scratch step by step.

The knowledge imparted through the "astounding wisdom" has become part of Ye Li's being.

It's like a level 1 character fighting a level 5 monster; you need to use a little bit of your character's abilities.

But if you're level 10 and fighting level 5 monsters, you can just kill them instantly; there's no need to rely on extraordinary wisdom anymore.

What Ye Li is doing now is to quickly solve the problems he knows how to do, and only ask the AI ​​to search for answers one by one if he really can't solve them.

A few minutes later, Ye Li had completely disassembled, analyzed, deduced, and reconstructed this technique!

When I looked up again, the values ​​on the panel were quite different.

"Star Shift Nine Palaces Step (753/1500)"

In just a few minutes of comparison and verification, Ye Li was able to practice the footwork 700 times less, saving at least four or five days of time.

But this is not the final result.

The next moment, he got off the bed, quickly went to the courtyard, and practiced the footwork.

With a thought, Ye Li's figure vanished from the spot!

It's not about rushing forward, but about taking the first step in accordance with rhythm.

The toes lightly touch the blue bricks, not in a straight step, but with a spiraling twisting force, which is the essence of waist and hip use gleaned from body movements!

The ground was silent, but an explosive force, compressed to its limit, burst forth from below.

"Star Shift Technique - Hidden Abyss in the Kan Position!"

His figure glided towards the embankment like a ghost, his trajectory unpredictable, as if there were an undercurrent beneath the water, not only fast but also highly deceptive.

A glimpse of the Qian position!

Without pausing, it made an unbelievable turn, as if defying the law of inertia, and instantly flashed to the Qian Tian position.

The entire set of footwork follows the mnemonic: "Nine on top, one on the bottom, three on the left, seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, six and eight on the feet, and five in the center."

The movement is based on the nine elements: Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun, and Zhong.

"You have diligently practiced the Star Shift Nine Palaces Step once, and gained +7 comprehension."

"Star Shift Nine Palaces Step (760/1500)"

Sure enough!

A look of satisfaction flashed in Ye Li's eyes. He was currently in the process of quickly getting used to the new technique.

Compared to the experience imparted by the "world-shaking wisdom," he gained more insights through his own cultivation. Later on, when he could no longer make any progress and his experience reached its limit, he relied entirely on the entries to increase his upper limit.

"I knew the 'astounding wisdom' entry was holding me back; spiritual practice still requires my own effort and hard work!"

Meanwhile, Li Liang watched with a heart full of turmoil.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and Ye Li had returned carrying the footwork technique, he wouldn't have believed that Ye Li was currently practicing a newly acquired footwork technique.

This movement looks like it's been practiced hundreds of times!

Excellent footwork!

Li Liang couldn't help but exclaim in genuine admiration, his voice filled with a hint of disbelief and shock.

"Young Master is a prodigy! In such a short time, he has mastered the 'Nine Palaces Star Shift Steps' to such a high level!"

Ye Li smiled faintly, feeling the surging power within his body and the increasingly light and agile sensation beneath his feet.

Knowing that Zheng Tong would test his skills against Guangming after becoming his disciple, he realized that he really needed to improve his martial arts skills and try to create as many entries as possible.

After all... he doesn't like to lose!

……

Just as Ye Li broke through to the mid-stage of Body Tempering and was diligently studying and practicing.

Time flies like an arrow; four short days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's already the end of the month again!

The territory of the Azure Dragon Gang, within the newbie zone.

Because of the closed management, this place has not been affected by outside news.

The disciples here continue to practice diligently every day, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to martial arts training.

"boom!"

As the wooden stake cracked, Tang Jian slowly withdrew his fist.

"Tang Jian, joined the gang two months ago, and his skills have penetrated seven-tenths of the way to the wood!"

The voices of the handymen disciples counting off echoed across the training ground, drawing envious glances from those around them.

A hint of proud fighting spirit flashed in Tang Jian's eyes:

"At this rate, I should be able to enter the Body Tempering Realm in two months!"

"Ye Li had someone to support him and escaped poverty early thanks to the Body Tempering Pill, but I can only rely on myself!"

"Being behind temporarily isn't terrible; what's terrible is lacking the courage to strive for improvement. As long as I work hard enough, I'm sure I can surpass Ye Li!"

Just as Tang Jian was lost in thought.

At the side entrance of the Azure Dragon Gang, the sunlight cast long shadows.

A figure walked out of the gate looking somewhat disheveled, leaning on a rough wooden stick that he had found on the spot to his left.

The man's right arm and cheek were wrapped in thick white bandages, and the exposed skin still had lingering bruises.

Since Ye Li gave him a beating twice, his injuries haven't fully healed yet.

"Young Master!"

Li Fu, a servant of the Li family who had been waiting outside, turned pale with fright when he saw Li Xi's miserable appearance and quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"What...what happened to you? You're so badly injured!"

The servant's words were like sharp needles, piercing Li Xi's somewhat sensitive heart, filling his eyes with resentment:

"Ye Li! Even if I die, I will take my revenge on you!"

"Not only you, but your family too—I will eliminate them all, leaving no one alive!"

Thinking of this, he shook off Li Fu's hand that was trying to help him up, his voice hoarse and gloomy:

"What's the panic! You're not going to die! Why is it you today? It's always Lian Zhong who comes to pick you up!"

"Could it be that Li You has emptied the house during the two months I've been away?" A dark look flashed in Li Xi's eyes.

Li Fu trembled at the resentment in Li Xi's eyes and quickly bowed, saying:

"Young Master, a distinguished guest has arrived in the clan. Everyone, including the patriarch, has gone to greet him."

"Distinguished guest?"

"You came with Miss Yan, with whom you are engaged. The head of the family wants you to return to the clan immediately to discuss the engagement."

"Oh, you came with Miss Yan!"

Li Xi calculated that the marriage agreement had been made since birth.

Now that he has awakened his newfound status, he has indeed reached the age to get married, and they will arrange a marriage in two years!

"The Yan family is also a prominent family in Guangming, with power no less than my Li family. If we can form a marriage alliance, we can leverage the Yan family's influence to defeat Li You, and incidentally, tear Ye Li's entire family to pieces!"

Thinking of this, Li Xi urged, "Quickly come back to the clan with me to change clothes. I want to see if this Miss Yan is worthy of being my wife."

Having said that, he leaned on a wooden cane and, with the help of his servants, limped toward the Li residence.

The setting sun cast his shadow on the ground, making it exceptionally distorted and long.

Unlike him, in the reception hall of the Li residence, people were constantly praising and complimenting the Yan family's young lady and distinguished guests.

Not long after, Li Xi, dressed in white and with his face covered in bruises by foundation, entered the room.

But upon seeing the scene in the reception hall, his face instantly twisted into a ferocious expression:

"How come it's you!"
