In this chaotic world of martial arts, I'll become a god by adding skill points!

Noon

Wang Anping and his group returned to the martial arts school; today he planned to buy a courtyard.

But before that, I need to inform my master about my breakthrough in internal strength.

As soon as Wang Anping entered the courtyard, he saw that everyone in the martial arts school had a happy expression on their face.

"What's wrong? Why are you all so happy?" Chen Zhiyang asked one of his disciples casually, observing the scene.

"Greetings, Senior Brother! Senior Brother Fei just successfully broke through to the Dark Force stage, and Junior Sister gave us some celebratory money."

Upon hearing this, Wang Anping looked at Chen Zhiyang, and sure enough, the other man had an unpleasant expression on his face.

Nowadays, most of the martial arts school's disciples are newcomers, and only a handful of them are from the same cohort as Wang Anping.

These newcomers were unaware of the feelings their senior brother, Chen Zhiyang, had for their junior sister.

"Breaking through to the inner strength level seems like such a big deal!"

Chen Zhiyang's face was grim. He turned and walked out of the martial arts hall with Fang Yu.

"Tsk tsk, you can touch anything, but never touch love."

Wang Anping shook his head. A senior disciple of a martial arts school, who had already achieved perfect internal strength in his early twenties.

He couldn't understand why he would do something like this for a woman.

As they walked toward the backyard, a group of senior students surrounded Fei Tianyang, happily discussing something. The owner's daughter, Chen Cuiting, stood beside him, her face beaming with happiness.

When the group saw him arrive, they nodded to him but said nothing.

Chen Cuiting, however, thought he had come to ask for lucky money, and walked over with a small money bag.

"Junior brother, here, this is your lucky money~"

Chen Cuiting's face beamed with a smile, and Wang Anping asked curiously, "Senior Sister, is this the money you and Senior Brother Fei gave out in advance for your wedding?"

"You... just take it as that." Chen Cuiting's face showed a blush.

It seems she is very satisfied with Fei Tianyang, her future husband. Chen Chaoming once said in front of everyone that as long as Fei Tianyang breaks through the Dark Force, they will get married on a chosen day.

It now seems that Chen Cuiting has already accepted that the other party is her husband.

Wang Anping sighed inwardly, thinking that his senior brother's love life had been full of hardships.

"Is the master inside?" he asked as he took the red paper-wrapped money.

"My father is in the study," Chen Cuiting said, then returned to the crowd and stood next to Fei Tianyang.

"Junior Brother Fei is truly a young genius! In less than two months, he has successfully broken through to the Inner Strength stage!"

"Yes, we all thought it would take at least three or four months, but we didn't expect it to be so fast, and we even succeeded on the first try."

Listening to the praise and flattery from the group, Wang Anping entered his master Chen Chaoming's study.

In the study

Chen Chaoming was resting with his eyes closed; he had broken through to the Transformation Realm half a month ago.

The deal with the Fei family of Fucheng is one-third complete; all that's left is to wait for Fei Tianyang's wedding, and then...

Dong dong dong

The knocking interrupted his thoughts. He opened his eyes and looked outside.

"Who?"

"Master, your disciple Wang Anping has something to report." Wang Anping's voice rang out from outside the house.

"Come in." Chen Chaoming picked up the tea from the table.

squeak~

The door opened, and Wang Anping walked in from outside.

Upon entering the house, he clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"Master, I managed to break through to the Dark Force realm last night, and I have come to report this to you."

Chen Chaoming spat out the tea as soon as he took a sip.

puff~

"What did you say?" He couldn't believe his ears and stared wide-eyed at Wang Anping.

"I was fortunate enough to break through to the Dark Force level last night."

Wang Anping repeated himself, and this time Chen Chaoming heard him clearly.

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

He still couldn't quite believe it. He knew the other person's aptitude. It was already a blessing that he could break through to the Ming Jin level. How could he break through to the An Jin level so quickly?

"You punched me with all your might!"

Chen Chaoming stood up, assumed a fighting stance, and gestured for Wang Anping to hit him hard.

"Yes, sir!"

Since the opponent told him to go all out, it meant the opponent was confident, so he didn't hesitate.

Wang Anping took a deep breath and suddenly exerted force with his feet.

He held nothing back; the internal energy that had just stabilized within him surged like a burst dam, flowing through his meridians to his right arm.

Wang Anping lowered his waist and assumed a horse stance, instantly circulating his internal energy. His energy no longer radiated outwards, but instead concentrated entirely on his right fist.

He could clearly feel the warm energy gathering along his meridians, sinking from his dantian to the tip of his fist, carrying a restrained yet powerful force as it swung towards Chen Chaoming's chest.

Chen Chaoming, a master of the Transformation Realm, remained calm as he activated his protective aura to cover his entire body.

In his view, even if Wang Anping had truly broken through to the level of internal strength, he would only be at the very beginning and his power would be far from enough to shake him.

"Bang!"

The fist collided with Chen Chaoming's protective energy, but instead of the expected loud bang, there was only a dull thud.

Chen Chaoming's calm expression froze instantly as he felt an extremely condensed energy penetrate his protective aura and directly invade his chest meridians.

Although he managed to deflect the attack in time, it still forced him to take a half-step back, causing the blue bricks beneath his feet to crack slightly.

He suddenly looked up, and his gaze toward Wang Anping completely changed.

It was no longer a questioning reaction, but rather one of astonishment and inquiry.

This energy is deep and restrained, with extremely strong penetrating power. It is something that cannot be achieved by obvious strength; it is a true hidden strength!

"I really...I really broke through!" Chen Chaoming muttered to himself, rubbing his chest, his tone full of disbelief.

It took him two whole years to break through from Ming Jin to An Jin.

Fei Tianyang, despite his exceptional talent, took more than two months to develop his internal strength, while Wang Anping's speed in advancing from Ming Jin to An Jin was astonishingly fast.

Wang Anping withdrew his fist and lowered his hands, saying, "This disciple was just lucky."

Chen Chaoming walked to the desk and sat down, tapping his fingers on the surface, his eyes shifting between light and shadow.

He originally thought of Wang Anping as just an ordinary protégé. This boy came from a poor family and had mediocre talent, so he wasn't worth placing high hopes on.

But this sudden breakthrough in internal energy has forced him to re-evaluate this disciple.

"Good! Good! Good!" Chen Chaoming said "good" three times in a row, a smile on his face, but his tone carried a hint of deliberate enthusiasm.

"I never imagined that my Chen Family Martial Arts School could produce two disciples with the Dark Force cultivation level at the same time! Tianyang just broke through, and you followed closely behind. It's truly an honor for our martial arts school!"

Wang Anping felt nothing; his breakthrough last night was just a casual remark. His actual breakthrough time was two days earlier than Fei Tianyang's!

High talent? Genius? The first time he broke through to Ming Jin, he and his opponent broke through at the same time. This time, he broke through to An Jin two days earlier.

He believed that once he reached the Transformation Realm, his opponent would soon be unable to even see his back!

He said, "It's best to keep these things to myself." He clasped his hands together and said, "It is all thanks to Master's guidance that I have made such progress."

Chen Chaoming waved his hand, his gaze falling on Wang Anping:

"The county's martial arts tournament will be held in seven days. Now that you have broken through to the Dark Force level, you are the perfect person to represent the martial arts school in the Dark Force tournament."

"We'll arrange opponents who have just entered the Dark Force realm for you. You'll have some free time these next couple of days, so use this time to get used to your new level."

Wang Anping knew that he couldn't refuse such a matter concerning the entire martial arts school.

Moreover, in the path of martial arts, simply burying oneself in hard training is not enough; appropriate sparring with others can still help improve one's strength.

"This disciple will do his utmost to live up to Master's expectations."

Seeing this, Chen Chaoming nodded in satisfaction, then casually asked, "When you broke through to the Dark Force realm, did you use any rare and precious materials? Or did you encounter any extraordinary events?"

Wang Anping was prepared and calmly replied, "I have been diligently practicing Xingyi Quan recently. Last night, while practicing, I suddenly had an epiphany. My internal energy naturally gathered and solidified, and I managed to break through without relying on any external aids."

A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Chaoming's eyes, but he didn't ask any further questions.

He stood up, took a porcelain bottle from the bookshelf, and handed it to Wang Anping: "Inside are three Qi and Blood Pills, which will greatly benefit your consolidation of your Dark Force realm. Go back and rest first, and prepare well for the arena competition."

"Thank you, Master." Wang Anping accepted the porcelain bottle, bowed, and took his leave.

After the study door closed, Chen Chaoming's smile vanished, and he fell into deep thought.
