Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

After having enough money.

Chen Feng lived a very fulfilling life, practicing from the moment he opened his eyes, and devoting all his spare time to boxing.

It can not only strengthen the body.

It can also accumulate experience.

The system can only help Chen Feng solve martial arts problems; true improvement in his realm still depends on him taking it one step at a time.

Unless he can find a technique that involves more than two hundred bones throughout his body.

That's unrealistic.

The books Chen Feng bought, while unable to directly help him complete bone forging, greatly improved his efficiency in tempering his body, and were of great help to him.

In the past, it would take several days of using blood and qi to cleanse and polish a piece of bone.

Furthermore, the Five Elements Fist technique always targets specific bones and remote areas, making it too slow.

Now Chen Feng can achieve progress in both areas simultaneously.

It is extremely efficient.

While Chen Feng stayed at the martial arts school to practice boxing, Cheng Tingxue often came over.

But Cheng Tingxue simply sat on the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard, quietly watching Chen Feng practice boxing.

We'll chat for a bit more when Chen Feng has rested.

It wasn't boring at all.

Chen Feng was happy to chat with her, but Cheng Tingxue would always bring a bottle of tonic pills for Chen Feng whenever she came.

He always had the illusion that he was being kept...

When the others at Longxing Martial Arts School saw Cheng Tingxue, they assumed she was there to see Su Wanqing, since it was common knowledge that the two had a very good relationship.

According to Cheng Tingxue, Cheng Li has returned safely, but he has lost an arm.

This was within Chen Feng's expectations.

The despicable acts of the Canal Gang are common knowledge. If a label had to be attached to them, it would be "unscrupulous".

The scientific expedition is not yet over, and the head of the Cheng family is still in the provincial capital, so the Cheng family can only swallow this loss in silence.

It's good that he's back.

As for the Xu family, Cheng Tingxue has completely severed ties with them. The marriage between the two families should have been a joyous occasion, but now they are at odds because of the Canal Gang.

Really good fortune.

......

......

Early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Chen Feng stood in the courtyard, his feet slightly apart, level with his shoulders. He had just finished a set of Five Elements Fist and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

As the Tai Chi Xuan Yuan Gong is practiced, a warm current flows through the meridians within the body.

Chen Feng felt as refreshed as if he had soaked in a hot spring, a feeling that spread from his toes to the top of his head.

"Click-clack~"

After a strange noise.

Chen Feng's mind cleared up suddenly.

He immediately realized that all the bones in his body had been tempered, and his cultivation level had successfully surpassed that of his fifth senior sister.

At this rate, he should be able to enter the Qi Refining Realm before Su Wanqing.

Chen Feng clenched his fist.

In a time when martial artists are scarce, those at the Bone Forging Realm are already capable of establishing their own small power in Pingcheng and becoming honored guests wherever they go.

One can become a head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) in a镖局 (escort agency), a訓訓 (respected elder) in a読訓 (aristocratic family), and even the highest-ranking instructor in a martial arts school is only a bone-forging master.

If I were to join the army.

At the very least, one can become a squad leader, accumulate experience, and eventually be promoted to a battalion commander, managing dozens of people under one's command.

Thinking back to a few months ago.

He was still just an exploited porter at the dock, and Chen Feng felt a sense of disorientation.

His strength was steadily increasing every day, which was reassuring, but...

I'm losing my experience.

With a thought, the panel appeared before my eyes:

Name: Chen Feng

[Experience]: 678

[Techniques]: Five Elements Fist Technique, Tai Chi Profound Origin Technique, Mountain-Opening Palm Technique, Grass-Flying Technique, Essentials of Bone Setting, Inner Realm Diagram, Materia Medica... (Expand)

Gaining experience requires seeing and learning. Chen Feng spends his days practicing martial arts at the gym, and although training does bring experience, it doesn't mean he's not gaining much.

But with only a few hundred yuan a day, he had long been living beyond his means and couldn't save any money.

"Now that I've reached a bottleneck in my strength, there's no rush to break through. I should start thinking about how to gain experience..."

Chen Feng murmured.

Having served as a medicine apprentice for a few days, his experience dwindled, and he was no longer worth Chen Feng's time to gain.

but.

Before that, there was one important thing he hadn't done—

The Lin family was constantly trying to trip him up.

Chen Feng hasn't retaliated yet.

He never forgot that Xie Fei was acting under the orders of the Lin family, and even when he was out of town making a delivery, he had to come and annoy Chen Feng.

Chen Feng is not a saint.

The knife was right in front of his neck. If he didn't take the knife and kill him, was he just going to wait to be slaughtered?

He has now reached the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, and with careful planning, his strength will be more than sufficient.

Rather than waiting passively.

Chen Feng prefers to take the initiative.

......

......

Fuxing Chamber of Commerce Hall.

A high wall of blue bricks flanks a memorial archway, covered with dark gray tile. Above the gate hangs a black plaque with gilded inscriptions of four powerful characters: "Ju Fu Yong Xing" (meaning "Gathering Fortune and Everlasting Prosperity").

People came and went in an endless stream.

Various goods come and go here.

Deep inside the clubhouse, however, there was tranquility, with some auspicious green plants planted there, making it feel serene.

Inside the council chamber at this moment.

The long table was filled with shopkeepers from various businesses, some stroking their beards, others clutching their teacups, each with a different expression.

In the main seat.

The Chamber of Commerce President, Meng He, had a solemn expression. He lowered his eyelids, as if he was thinking about something.

However, the fact that he kept rubbing his fingers on the ring revealed his inner anxiety.

Meng He said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, the taxes at the checkpoints have been increased again, and the canal transport is also disrupted. I've called you all here today to come up with a solution together..."

An old man wearing a long gown, fiddling with an abacus, interjected:

"President Meng He, in recent months, several members of our Fuxing Chamber of Commerce have left. The gang is expanding its territory and causing trouble everywhere. We need to invite some martial artists as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if we let them cause trouble, we won't be able to do business, and we won't be able to hold on sooner or later."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone agreed, also considering it a matter of utmost importance; other matters could be discussed later.

The gang members did this.

The shops owned by everyone are losing money every day, which hurts even more than cutting off their own flesh.

Seeing this, Meng He said, "I'm already thinking of a solution, but the prices for martial artists in the city are exorbitant these days, and the membership fees are already a bit tight..."

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Hearing Meng He's words, it seemed he wanted them to take out more money from their pockets. How could that be allowed!

The shops are already losing money; to make them spend even more is like taking their lives!

The old man in the long robe snorted coldly again: "You're the chairman, so naturally you should come up with a solution."

Having said that, he glanced at Meng Zhaowu at the end of the table and continued speaking to Meng He:

"Your Excellency has been a member of the Dragon Martial Arts Academy for some time now. I wonder which skilled individuals you have recruited to lend a helping hand to our Chamber of Commerce?"

"I..." Meng Zhaowu hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Meng Zhaowu didn't know what to say. Even brothers should keep clear accounts. Who would help if there was no money?

Moreover, fighting against gangs is a relatively dangerous job.

Seeing that he couldn't give a coherent explanation, dissatisfaction crept onto the old man's face, and he said in a sarcastic tone:

"When will Young Master Meng realize that he is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce, using its resources without doing anything..."

Meng Zhaowu was about to refute.

Because he used his own money to learn martial arts, without touching a single penny of the Chamber of Commerce's membership fees, let alone taking any resources.

However, he saw his father's disapproving look and could only helplessly fall silent.

After pondering for a moment, Meng He said:

"Elder Qin, my idea is to quickly recruit a group of martial artists from the martial arts school to fight against the gang, and the expenses can be split equally among everyone..."

The old man interrupted Meng He with a sour face, "The current situation is not good, and everyone is short of money. It's not appropriate to create such a large expense out of thin air to hire thugs."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Nobody wants to pay.

Meng He wasn't angry at being interrupted: "Then what brilliant idea does Elder Qin have?"

"snort......"

The old man did not answer, but frowned and kept fiddling with the abacus in his hands, making a "click-click" sound.
