Martial Arts Realm: Transformation of Internal Strength

"Phew, it's changed after all. So the next stage requires 5000 proficiency points, and then we have to start all over again."

Wang Anping carefully examined the panel. The system was still as simple as ever; the only difference was that the proficiency level had been changed.

"It's alright, easy to understand. But at this rate... 5000 proficiency points, that would take four or five months."

At the current pace, it will take him four or five months to break through to the next stage of the Transformation Realm!

"That's normal. If I could reach a new realm every few days, I wouldn't be so cautious; I would have already slaughtered my way through this world."

He thought about it and realized it was normal. If it were that easy to improve one's cultivation level, he wouldn't have to be so despicable.

I got up and looked at the location on the mountaintop. The trees were swaying, and occasionally a few roars could be heard.

Presumably, everyone was besieging the evil spirit, while he stood quietly in place.

There's no way I can go up there; I'll just show up after it's over.

"Is Uncle Datong really missing?"

"It's true, Uncle Datong, Brother Jing, and Tie Tou, all three of them have disappeared!"

The agreement was that Wang Anping would be killed if the evil spirit appeared, but the other party appeared unharmed.

The clan chief told me to go look, but I haven't seen a soul. Brother Hanjiang, do you think Wang Anping might have killed them?

"Hmm... that's unlikely. I know his strength; it's not much different from mine."

"It's impossible to kill all three of them. I'll tell my dad about this later and see what he says."

Wang Anping was stunned when he heard the voice, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

Two figures were walking quickly up the mountain, talking to each other as they went.

Although it was already night, as a master of internal energy, he could still clearly see the faces of the two people.

Liu Hanjiang! The other one is someone sent out by the Liu clan chief just now.

"Are they preparing to return and report?"

Wang Anping was positioned in a ditch, which allowed him to see the two men from a high vantage point.

Liu Hanjiang was somewhat agitated. Not only was the top spot that was rightfully his that was taken away, but the three skilled men he had sent out had also disappeared!

The Liu family only has six members with hidden strength!

Three people have gone missing at once, that's a huge deal!

He kept praying that nothing bad would happen, otherwise it would be like the sky had fallen for the Liu family.

"There's no reason not to take a business that's offered to you." Wang Anping sneered inwardly as he watched the two get closer.

He deliberately concealed all his presence, like a cold rock, suppressing even his breathing to the extreme.

Liu Hanjiang was preoccupied with the whereabouts of the three missing people and was completely unaware of the murderous intent lurking above him.

He slowed his pace slightly and instructed his trusted disciple, "When you see my father, don't say anything yet. We'll talk about everything when we get home later."

"Yes, Brother Hanjiang."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Anping moved.

He sprang out of the ditch like a lurking tiger, his body accelerating instantly with the force of his fall, and he stepped out with a Xingyi Step.

Almost instantly, he reached Liu Hanjiang's head, his right fist carrying full force, and mercilessly smashed into the back of Liu Hanjiang's head.

The force of the punch was deliberately compressed, producing only a faint whooshing sound, so fast that Liu Hanjiang didn't even have time to react.

"puff!"

A dull thud sounded, and before Liu Hanjiang could react, the internal force of the Transformation Realm instantly pierced through Liu Hanjiang's skull, shattering his brain meridians.

Liu Hanjiang didn't even utter a sound before his pupils suddenly dilated, and his body fell straight forward.

With a clatter, it crashed onto the road and died completely.

With a single move, Liu Hanjiang, who was at the mid-stage of Dark Force, was instantly killed.

The trusted disciple was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, his limbs went weak, and his face turned as white as paper.

His lips trembled, unable to utter a word, and he couldn't even muster the thought of running away.

He witnessed Liu Hanjiang being killed in one blow, and the terrifying force instilled fear in him to the core.

Wang Anping landed without even glancing at Liu Hanjiang's corpse, and kicked his trusted disciple.

The internal energy, channeled into the toes, resulted in a seemingly effortless kick that shattered the disciple's sternum.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a tree trunk.

After landing, it twitched twice and then died, dying instantly as well.

He bent down to search the two bodies and found an exquisite jade pendant with the character "Liu" on Liu Hanjiang's body, a stack of silver notes, and a bottle of healing pills.

His trusted disciple only had a few taels of silver on him. Wang Anping stuffed everything into his pocket.

Dragging the two corpses to a steep ravine, he unleashed several bursts of internal energy to push the bodies down.

The rushing water swept it away in an instant, leaving no trace.

After cleaning up the scene, Wang Anping hid back in the ditch.

The roars from the mountaintop gradually subsided, indicating that everyone had finished their efforts and the water monkeys had either been defeated or fled again.

He leaned against the mud wall, waiting for the right moment to descend the mountain, his eyes filled with determination.

Since the Liu family and he already have an irreconcilable hatred, why should he be cowardly? It's a matter of life and death.

He would definitely kill these Liu family disciples if given the chance.

As for what the Liu family can do once they discover this problem?

Killing three has already created enmity, killing two more won't make a difference!

He took out the silver note and looked at it; it was about three hundred taels. "Not bad. I thought the Liu family were all penniless."

After a brief pause, they watched as figures began to walk down the mountain in the distance.

Wang Anping also got up and walked down the mountain, deliberately avoiding the main road.

They used their internal energy to erase any traces of fighting and footprints along the way to avoid being detected by other forces.

He waited at the city gate for a while, and people began to appear one after another.

"Junior brother, let's go back to the martial arts school." Chen Zhiyang walked over, his expression not very good.

Wang Anping was puzzled and pressed for an answer: "Did the evil spirit escape?"

"There is a waterfall behind the mountain, and that evil spirit jumped into the water and ran away."

Chen Zhiming nodded and then said, "Let's ignore Xie Chong for now and go back to the martial arts school. Master has something to say to us later."

"Okay." What's the matter at the martial arts school? Although he was puzzled, Wang Anping didn't say much, nodded and followed.

Master Chen Zhiming walked in front, with Fei Hong and several other clan leaders and the county magistrate beside him.

The group seemed to be whispering something, and Wang Anping listened carefully.

They could barely make out the conversation of the group, which included discussions of evil spirits.

Presumably, the group was reviewing the incident of the evil spirit escaping.

"Forget it, the waterfall flows towards the next county. As long as evil spirits don't appear here, it's fine."

Whether we've killed anyone or not is unimportant. I'll go tell the soldiers to retreat and open the river.

After saying a few words, Fei Hong walked in another direction.

Seeing this, the others also left.

However, the Liu family patriarch felt something was amiss. Apart from one person who stayed behind and three who went to assassinate, where did the other hidden talents go?

Where did Liu Hanjiang go?

He was a little confused, but didn't think much of it, assuming that perhaps they had gone home.

Chen Family Martial Arts School

backyard

Almost all of his direct disciples were present.

From the eldest brother to Wang Anping, apart from the ninth brother Wang Hucheng who was in the prefectural city, the second and twelfth brothers were not present.

Everyone else was present!

Wang Anping sat at the back, and he sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, with no one speaking.

After a long while, Chen Chaoming spoke calmly, "Zhiyang, go and tell everyone not to come near this courtyard."

"Yes, Master!" Chen Zhiyang stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and turned to walk outside.

Then, Chen Chaoming glanced at all his personal disciples and slowly began to speak:

"The chaos has arrived, and I believe everyone can feel it."

The fighting in the south is already fierce. Countless people have died or been injured, whether they are Ming Jin or An Jin. Even those with Hua Jin skills are finding it difficult to survive in this chaotic world.

Although the flames of war have not yet reached Liangzhou or Yizhou Prefecture, evil spirits are now rampant, making survival increasingly difficult.

As Chen Chaoming spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd, and almost everyone looked at him intently.

Wang Anping was the same; there was no evasion in his eyes.

"What's the point of practicing martial arts? Isn't it just to live a good life?"

There is war everywhere now, and if someone were to rebel one day...

In that instant, you, including me, will all vanish into nothingness!

Hearing Chen Chaoming's words, Wang Anping's heart skipped a beat. Was he about to lay his cards on the table?

He glanced at the other senior brothers and sisters, their faces calm, as if they already knew the news.

Actually, it makes sense. These disciples have been following Chen Chaoming for some time and are the backbone of his rebellion.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he will definitely tell these people this news.

"Looks like I have to choose sides today..." Wang Anping understood; it seemed this was a message specifically for him.

With so many direct disciples, I'm the only one who seems like an outsider.

"There are some things that are hard to say too explicitly, but you are all my personal disciples, and you have all learned the skills of the Chen Family Martial Arts School."

Let me ask you this: if one day this world becomes unbearable, would you be willing to come with me and fight for your lives?

After the words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the backyard. The third senior brother was the first to stand up, kneel on one knee, and say in a deep voice, "This disciple is willing to follow Master!"

Immediately afterwards, the other senior brothers and sisters rose and knelt down, their voices in unison: "We are willing to follow our master!"

For a moment, the room was filled with kneeling figures, except for Wang Anping, who sat in a chair, becoming an exception in that solemn atmosphere.

All eyes were on him, filled with doubt, expectation, and a hint of scrutiny.

Wang Anping quickly calculated in his mind. He originally wanted to practice martial arts in a low-key manner and accumulate enough proficiency to improve his realm.

But with the world in chaos, it was impossible to remain unscathed.

Chen Chaoming dared to discuss such a serious matter of treason in front of him, which clearly meant he considered him one of his own. If he refused today, he might not be able to leave this backyard.

The Chen family martial arts school has quite a few masters of internal strength, and Chen Chaoming is even more unknown about his level.

Even if he has reached the Transformation Realm, he may not be able to escape unscathed.

Moreover, the Liu family and he are sworn enemies. With the Chen family martial arts school as a powerful backer, it's the perfect opportunity to eliminate the Liu family.

Furthermore, Chen Chaoming raised the banner of righteousness and protected the people, which did not contradict his bottom line, so he joined the uprising.

If successful, at least the family won't have to worry about safety in the future.

If I fail... I can just hide in the back.

As long as you don't stand out, sticking along seems better than quitting.

If I don't participate in the uprising, will I end up becoming enemies with these martial arts schools?

Besides, how can one remain untainted when one is in the martial arts world?

"In chaotic times, no egg remains unbroken when the nest is overturned."

Thinking of this, Wang Anping slowly spoke, his voice calm yet firm.

He took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Chen Chaoming.

"Disciple Wang Anping wishes to follow the Master!"

He didn't address him as "Master," but only as "Head of the Martial Arts School." This seemingly subtle difference was the last thing he kept in mind.

He can leverage resources and work with others, but he will not be completely dependent on them; ultimately, it is all for his own path in martial arts.

A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Chaoming's eyes when he saw his statement.

He stepped forward, helped him up, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Great! Wang Anping, with you here, my Chen Family Martial Arts School is like a tiger with wings, and I feel much more at ease!"

"Now that everyone has expressed their stance, we are all in the same boat."

From today onwards, the martial arts school disciples will intensify their training.

He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the crowd:

"Do not spread what happened today, if it really comes to pass."

If you succeed, you'll enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury.

"You may all step back. Do not go out during this period. Stay in the martial arts school and practice your martial arts diligently."

Finally, Chen Chaoming waved his hand, dismissing the other disciples.

I don’t know if there were any precautions, but Chen Chaoming didn’t say that he was rebelling, he just said something like “one day”.

Even if someone reports him for saying such things, it won't do any good.

It doesn't even qualify as a rebellion. Besides, in this situation, who can we report to?

Wang Anping thought to himself, "Being born into this world always brings so much helplessness."

"Anping, stay." Chen Chaoming said from behind. Wang Anping was stunned for a moment, and the foot that had already stepped out the door was pulled back.

"You've qualified for the martial arts test, but the Great Shun Dynasty is clearly on its last legs, so don't even think about participating in the future."

When spring comes, go find a sect and learn martial arts properly. If one day your master...

If anything unexpected happens, I hope you'll remember our past relationship and help protect the Chen Family Martial Arts School, okay?

"This..." Wang Anping was stunned. He couldn't understand why Chen Chaoming would suddenly say such a thing.

Could it be that he saw my exceptional talent and wanted to win me over?

Before he could react, Chen Chaoming continued:

"You are a gifted genius with unlimited potential."

In the future, you can simply go and find a master to learn the craft.

As long as my Chen Family Martial Arts School exists, my family elders will not be in any danger.

Even if chaos erupts in the future, I will still protect your family.

"So, Anping, can you agree to this?"

Chen Chaoming stared straight at him without blinking.

At that moment, Wang Anping was truly shocked.

He never expected that Chen Chaoming would have such a broad perspective!

But thinking about it, it's normal; this is what a normal person should be like.

Why would a disciple with such talent and a bright future make enemies for no reason?

What he did next was something that could cost him his life: finding a way out in case he failed in the future.

He can also preserve his ancestors' legacy. If he succeeds, he will have made good friends with a future master.

Are we losing money? We're making a killing.

Only at this moment did Wang Anping feel that Chen Chaoming was a normal person!
