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

For the next few days, Wang Anping did not go out. He spent his days practicing martial arts, eating, and sleeping, repeating the same routine.

He gets up earliest every day and goes back latest, which makes the surrounding disciples look at him with disdain, as if they have seen a ghost.

The afternoon of the third day

martial arts field

Wang Anping was practicing the Five Animal Fist. After three days of intense practice, he was exhausted.

But when he saw that he was only a little short of mastering the Five Animal Fist, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Wang Hucheng, the ninth senior brother in charge of teaching the apprentices, stood on the martial arts stage, watching Wang Anping, who was practicing diligently, with great interest.

He was deeply impressed by Wang Anping, who clearly came from a poor background.

However, he spent his days hanging out with the third young master of the Liu family, either harassing respectable women or engaging in petty theft.

When he heard that this person dared to go down into the river, he thought the other party was already dead. After all, even Chen Chaoming, who was at the level of internal strength, couldn't deal with the evil spirit in the river.

As a result, the other party not only showed up at the martial arts school in good condition, but also changed his usual behavior and became diligent and hardworking.

"Will the prodigal son return?"

Wang Hucheng murmured to himself. He admired this kind of hardworking person because he himself came from a poor background and had worked hard to become a disciple.

He recalled that Wang Anping seemed to have officially moved into the martial arts school three months ago today, which meant that today was the last day. If he couldn't enter the inner circle, he would have nothing to do with the inner sect.

"What a pity! The prodigal son returns, but it's too late."

He shook his head, no longer paying attention, and turned to head towards the kitchen. The sun was setting and it was already dinnertime.

Just as he had taken two steps, a loud shout came from the center of the training ground, which faintly carried the might of a young tiger.

This is the symbol for beginners in Five Animal Fist, which consists of the five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird.

It is a simplified version of the Five Animal Frolics passed down from the owner's family. The sign of entering the Five Animal Frolics is that the sounds, claws, fists, legs, and body movements all barely resemble the shapes of several animals.

The most obvious characteristic is the voice like a young tiger; other aspects can only be fully manifested after one has developed a strong, clear energy.

In the training ground, when Wang Anping was practicing his final move, he let out a loud shout with all his might.

"break!"

As a warm current entered my body, my tired muscles instantly became full of vitality, and my loose fat became firmer.

Wang Anping quickly opened the panel:

[Destiny Leads to Divinity! One Certificate, Eternal Proof]

[Host: Wang Anping]

Age: 17

[Exercise Method (Five Elements Stance Exercise 12/100, not yet at the level of internal strength)]

(Five Animal Fist 100/500 Entering the Power Phase)

[Martial Arts Realm: Entering Strength]

"Finally got the hang of it! Next, I need 400 proficiency points to break through to Ming Jin? That's 20 days?" Wang Anping looked at the progress on the panel and clicked his tongue in amazement.

If you only need 100 units of internal force to enter the field, and 500 units of external force to enter the field, then what about the internal force, or even higher?

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"Luckily, I have the panel, otherwise I'm afraid I'd never break through to the Ming Jin level in my entire life!"

As he was pondering, he sensed someone walking towards him. Looking up, he saw it was his ninth senior brother, Wang Hucheng.

The other person looked at him, smiled, and slowly said:

"I thought you wouldn't be able to get into the right mindset for three months, but it turns out you've turned over a new leaf. Not bad!"

"Shall we go? Come with me to register your information. You can go to the inner gate tomorrow morning."

When Wang Hucheng looked at Wang Anping, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He admires hardworking and resilient people the most; seeing them reminds him of his younger self.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Wang Anping was overjoyed and completed the entry into the inner gate at the same time.

Wang Anping followed Wang Hucheng out of the training ground and headed towards the inner courtyard.

The disciples standing around him stopped hammering and stared in disbelief at his retreating figure.

Every senior disciple knows what kind of person Wang Anping is.

Lackey, good-for-nothing, spendthrift—these are all labels attached to him.

However, since returning from the water, this guy has become a completely different person. He not only studies and practices diligently every day, but also broke through to the Entry-level within the three-month time limit.

"It's just luck."

"I've been learning for almost three months and I'm still not getting the hang of it. To be honest, I'm still a complete failure."

"That's right. If it takes three months to reach the initial stage of strength, I'm afraid I'll never be able to break through to the Ming Jin stage in my entire life."

......

The inner court

Teaching Office

"I have already registered your identity information. Someone will take it to the county government tomorrow for registration. From now on, your family and the next three generations will have their taxes halved."

After registering the information, Wang Hucheng put down his pen and continued:

"I saw you were covered in sweat before your breakthrough today; your body had reached its limit."

Do you only practice Five Animal Fist and not stance training on a regular basis?

Upon hearing this, Wang Anping instantly understood!

No wonder I always felt something was wrong with my body when I practiced martial arts; it turns out I was only focused on practicing the fist techniques and neglected the stance training!

But you can't blame him for that. The original owner of this body, that good-for-nothing, left him with very little information about martial arts in his memories, which led him to only think about breaking through quickly.

"Yes, senior brother! I used to... uh... not quite understand the importance of this stance training. Please enlighten me, senior brother."

Upon hearing Wang Anping's words, Wang Hucheng got up from his chair and walked towards the martial arts training ground in the inner courtyard.

The area here is slightly smaller than the outside, but the materials used on the ground and the quantity of weapons are incomparable to those outside.

Wang Hucheng walked to a wooden dummy and stood in front of it. Then he bent his legs and assumed the Five Animal Frolics stance.

He slowly raised his hand.

Bang!

The right fist struck the wooden dummy with a whooshing sound, instantly sending wood chips flying and the wood breaking.

Wang Anping's eyes lit up when he saw this. This was the first time he had ever seen someone with the Ming Jin skill demonstrate martial arts. This seemingly ordinary punch was actually so powerful!

Wang Hucheng flicked the wood chips off his hands and said calmly, "I only used the strength of the Entering Force level for this punch, and I didn't use the Five Animal Fist."

"If it were you, you would probably need to use all your strength to break the wooden stake with one punch, and you would easily run out of energy."

Why do we practice martial arts? To survive, to avoid being bullied! And so that one day we can kill those who want to kill us.

But it's impossible for our opponents to always be weaker than us. If we encounter someone of the same skill level, you'll be exhausted after a short while, while they remain calm and composed. How can you possibly win?

Wang Hucheng looked seriously into Wang Anping's eyes and continued, word by word:

"Never think about quickly pursuing a higher level. If you practice boxing but don't practice stance training, your qi and blood will be insufficient."

Even without fighting anyone, your success rate in mastering the Ming Jin (a martial arts technique) is extremely low, understand?

Wang Anping listened to his words as if they were sacred words! He never imagined that there were so many intricacies involved in practicing martial arts.

Fortunately, I broke through the realm by relying on proficiency. However, since stance training can quickly improve my qi and blood, I can also advance to the level of "entering strength" before going home.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Hucheng and nodded emphatically, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

"Haha, it's not so much about pointing out your doubts. I've said these things countless times, you just didn't listen back then."

"Come on, I'll take you to the inner courtyard's dining hall for dinner. If we're any later, there won't be any left."
