I am a high-level martial arts master.

Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Feng Yue walked slowly into the training ground with his hands behind his back!

It was still early, and many young people had already come to practice martial arts, each one practicing with great enthusiasm.

But as Feng Yue watched these people's actions, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

"Shao Zhuo has been with the gang for a month now, yet he still can't fully master the Azure Dragon Force. Although he's diligent, he's unlikely to amount to much!"

"Chung Ping-man, a green-listed candidate, but his background is too weak; he won't be allowed to enter the country for at least a year!"

"Sun Dai has decent talent, but his white attribute indicates very low potential."

……

Feng Yue took in all the details of each of the gang members present.

As the instructor of the newly recruited disciples in the gang, he knew these young people well.

To go far on the path of martial arts, five things are indispensable: "comprehension, perseverance, knowledge, innate talent, and background"!

Lacking any one of these points could lead to taking many detours on this path.

Without those two points, the future is uncertain!

As for those who lack more than three points, there's no point in even thinking about it, unless your strengths are truly off the charts.

In Feng Yue's judgment at this moment, most of the people present would be eliminated by the gang and reduced to low-level thugs.

This also aligns with the interests of the Azure Dragon Gang.

There are no difficulties in the first realm of martial arts.

With persistent and meticulous effort, even a useless person can enter the Body Refinement Realm within two years and reach the peak of Body Refinement within 20 years.

But you don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household!

Money should be spent wisely.

Martial artists who dedicate themselves to martial arts without engaging in production consume terrifying amounts of resources!

Therefore, these gang members who signed indentures were all low-level expendable resources!

Those who fail the selection process within six months are eliminated and forced to support the most talented martial artists for the rest of their lives.

The Azure Dragon Gang has over a hundred core members, and on average, every 20 lower-level members have to support one martial artist.

These supported martial artists are stationed in their respective factions to maintain order and stability, ensuring a steady output of various resources to support the cultivation of elders who have reached the Acquired Realm.

Through this layered exploitation, a pyramid structure was established within the Azure Dragon Gang.

At the very top of the pyramid, the one who takes the biggest cut is the leader of the Azure Dragon Gang.

As long as the gang leader doesn't fall, even if all his subordinates die, he can still rebuild a new Azure Dragon Gang!

……

Looking up at the crowd, Feng Yue assessed the progress of the gang members in the training ground.

Just then, a slender figure strode confidently into the room, catching Feng Yue's eye.

"It's him..."

Feng Yue gazed at the young man who had left a deep impression on him.

It wasn't just Feng Yue; many people at the scene noticed the eye-catching bag over the past two days.

Since joining the gang, I have spent at least 7 hours a day in the training ground, practicing the "Azure Dragon Force" over and over again!

If it were just hard work, that would be fine; the training grounds are full of people who are just as serious.

But Ye Li's progress was visible to the naked eye.

We all practice the same body-refining technique, and we were all taught by the same master. You can tell how well we've practiced just by looking at each other!

It was still a bit awkward in the morning, but by evening it had become quite proficient.

The next day, his every move carried an indescribable charm, reminiscent of Instructor Feng, and his mastery of the Azure Dragon Force surpassed that of most people here.

Now everyone knows that a super genius has joined the gang.

As long as Ye Li's physical constitution is good enough, becoming a core disciple is a sure thing, and his future is limitless!

Even Feng Yue stared at this new young man in the gang with admiration.

This person has potential, perseverance in training, and a quick mind; such a talent should be officially recognized!

As Ye Li entered the arena, he began practicing the Azure Dragon Force, just like he had done in the previous days.

His panel is currently displaying his efforts over the past two days.

"Ordinary People (37/1000)"

"Azure Dragon Strength (95/100)"

"Today I will be able to perfect the Azure Dragon Force. I wonder how effective it will be?" Ye Li thought to himself.

After discovering that maintaining the Azure Dragon Force while sleeping could greatly alleviate fatigue, he has been practicing like crazy these past few days, without a single moment of personal time.

Now it seems that the effect is indeed good; every time I wake up, the fatigue of the previous day is swept away.

With a deep breath, Ye Li raised his hand and began practicing his already highly proficient martial arts technique, starting a new day of training.

As time went by, the training ground gradually became noisy.

More members of the gang, yawning and dragging their tired bodies, poured into the area.

"I'm so sleepy. The snoring in the dormitory was so loud yesterday that I could barely close my eyes after lying there for half the night."

"Moreover, with so many people getting up in the middle of the night, it was quite noisy, and there were even some talking in their sleep."

"Exactly, a day or two is fine, but if it drags on for several days, how will we have the energy to practice?"

"Yesterday, a centipede the size of my palm crawled in! It was terrifying!"

Tang Jian rubbed his dark circles, his eyes filled with fatigue, looking exhausted as he listened to his colleagues complain about their accommodations.

Unlike Ye Li, who was assigned to a four-person room.

He had to squeeze into a large dormitory room with a dozen or so other gang members.

The resting environment was extremely poor, with a foul stench, laughter, people getting up at night, and snoring...

Everyone around me has their own problems, and these past few days I haven't even been able to get a proper rest.

Some light sleepers couldn't stand it and went to sleep outside before winter arrived.

Those who stayed in the dormitory stared with envy at the slender young man who was focused on practicing martial arts in the arena.

"Stop complaining, just hang in there. Once you make it to the top and become a core disciple, you can enjoy the good life!" someone said, then moved closer to Ye Li to observe him closely.

Other disciples who had not yet mastered the Azure Dragon Force followed suit, gathering in twos and threes around Ye Li to learn his practice postures.

Before long, a small circle had spontaneously formed around Ye Li.

This incredibly conspicuous scene caught Tang Jian's eye, causing him to involuntarily snort coldly: 'Hmph! Let them provoke Ye Li; it saves me the time of teaching them!'

After saying that, he went off to work hard in a corner, hoping to suppress his resentment and anxiety through practice.

On the other end, Li Xi looked disdainfully at the group of people who were practicing diligently.

He stood at the edge of the training ground, dressed in a finely made training uniform embroidered with gold patterns, standing out from the gang members around him who wore coarse linen clothes.

With a wave of his hand, he took out a pill the size of a longan, bright yellow in color, and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance from the exquisite leather pouch at his waist.

This is exactly the Body Tempering Pill that Feng Yue mentioned, which is the reward for the top teacher in the end-of-month teaching exam!

After being swallowed and refined, one pill is equivalent to three days of arduous cultivation for an ordinary person!

Although Li Xi had fallen to the point of joining the Azure Dragon Gang, he was still a direct descendant of the Li family, and his family would provide him with body-tempering pills every month to support his cultivation.

He gracefully put the pill into his mouth, feeling the warm medicinal power dissipate in his stomach, and a superior smile appeared on his lips.

"What good are talent and comprehension? A bunch of peasants who climbed up from the bottom!"

Li Xi sneered inwardly: 'My drug use alone is equivalent to half a month's worth of your hard work!'

At this moment, no one in the entire training ground was worthy of his attention.

Becoming a core disciple is a done deal, but his goals are even higher!

"You need to reach the mid-stage of Body Refinement within at least six months."

Li Xi's eyes sharpened: "If I can represent the Azure Dragon Gang in the city's youth competition and win a top spot... my family will definitely look at me differently!"

"At that time, I will personally take back everything I've lost!"
