Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Li Tianxing walked out of Hongyun Martial Arts School.

He turned his head and glanced at the four large characters of Hongyun Martial Arts School.

My sparring career ended so quickly!

"What a pity. I just finished fighting with Da Guang. I felt that my Body Tempering Great Perfection was about to break through."

I didn't expect that Hongmeng wouldn't want to fight me.

Li Tianxing slowly walked outside.

"It's been a long time since I've trained at Lingshan. Let's go take a look now."

"I've trained hard all day; let's see if I can break through the Body Tempering stage and reach the Tendon Tempering stage."

……

Lingshan.

Li Tianxing returned to the place where he often practiced his splitting palm technique.

But this time...

He discovered a man wearing a top hat in the open space.

The man was dressed in a black long robe and wore a top hat, appearing extremely clean and neat.

He was also practicing the "splitting palm" technique.

There stood a huge tree that required two people to hug, and he struck it down with his palm!

It was actually cleaved in two with a "crack".

The man noticed Li Tianxing and raised his eyelids.

Looking at Li Tianxing, who had changed into a black outfit...

So this kid wasn't dead after all.

That's right. The cat demon I attracted a while ago seems to have been eliminated by the people of Anlan County.

Who would have thought that that damned beast would actually not eat foreigners!

It doesn't matter anyway, that thing in the river is very alert.

Let's deal with him when it's time to "worship the river god" at the end of the year...

The mysterious man spoke first:

"Are you also here to practice your skills?"

Li Tianxing was unaware of this.

The entire time she spent practicing martial arts on Ling Mountain was observed by this man in black wearing a top hat.

Li Tianxing did not answer him, but instead asked:

"The move you just used was the Pine-Splitting Palm?"

The man laughed and said, "What? You want to learn?"

Li Tianxing was a little surprised that his Splitting Pine Palm technique had been entered into the panel...

None of them have such heaven-defying power.

It seems the issue isn't the splitting palm technique, but rather that the person in front of me possesses unfathomable strength.

"Senior, you look unfamiliar."

Li Tianxing looked at the other person with some curiosity.

The feeling he got from this man in black was somewhat similar to that he got from Hongfei of Hongyun Martial Arts School.

They are all the type whose depth they cannot discern.

When facing Hongfei, he could still sense that he was a martial artist.

But when facing this one...

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have known that the other party could chop down a tree with a single palm strike.

Li Tianxing will probably really treat him like an ordinary person!

The man in black took off his top hat and flicked it lightly.

With a "whoosh," the soft top hat actually pierced straight into the tree!

What Li Tianxing didn't know was that the man's move was not the Splitting Palm.

He had only watched Li Tianxing practice for a few days and was imitating Li Tianxing by deliberately chopping down trees.

"I am indeed not from your Anlan County."

I'm just waiting for something here recently.

"I'm actually quite bored right now, how about we have a little spar?"

The man in black looked at Li Tianxing and said gently.

Li Tianxing hesitated because he couldn't fathom the depths of this person's character, and didn't know whether he was good or evil.

The man in black noticed Li Tianxing's hesitation and continued:

"Don't worry, you're just a junior in the Body Tempering Realm."

It's not enough to make me so wary of you that I've decided to kill you.

To be honest, I noticed you when you were practicing your skills.

I feel that you have good comprehension and resilience...

Although that's what the man in black said on the surface.

But what he was thinking was...

How come this kid is improving so fast?

In less than a week, he was completely transformed.

Could it be some great opportunity?

This is a good opportunity for me to test his abilities.

If he truly possesses extraordinary talent, perhaps we could try to win him over...

Our organization has been recruiting new members for many years now!

One week ago.

When he looked at Li Tianxing through the binoculars, he couldn't see anything special about Li Tianxing.

Because at that time, Li Tianxing had not yet learned the Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Technique.

They did not obtain the demon soul.

Li Tianxing had just finished fighting with Da Guang and was itching to play again.

Moreover, he could feel that he was about to break through!

"Then thank you very much for your guidance, senior."

The man in black beckoned to Li Tianxing:

"Come on, let's fight!"

You're already on the verge of breaking through the flesh barrier.

What you need to do now is to fully unleash your potential and energy.

They launched a relentless and frantic attack.

Without further hesitation, Li Tianxing mobilized the power of his muscles to the limit.

He then transformed his palm into a blade and slashed directly at the man in black.

In normal times, he would directly use his palms to defend against enemies.

In fact, the essence of the Splitting Palm technique lies in transforming the palm into a blade!

The man in black stood with his hands behind his back and made no move.

He calmly watched as Li Tianxing chopped his own neck with a hand chop.

He looked at Li Tianxing with a smile, which actually made Li Tianxing feel uneasy.

"boom--"

Li Tianxing chopped the man in black on the back of the neck with a hand chop.

Li Tianxing's expression darkened because he discovered...

His own hand did not touch the other person's skin.

Instead, it was blocked outside the other party's body by an invisible force.

This gave him a sense of familiarity.

Just recently, at the Hongyun Martial Arts Academy, there was a large light.

Didn't he once use a wisp of his energy to force himself back?

Even a wisp of light is as small as a drop of water.

The other party's aura was like a bottomless, icy pool!

"This is... qi?"

The man in black smiled and said:

"That's right, this is the fourth stage of mastery, after the Qi permeates the entire body!"

Only then can one wield... Qi freely.

Li Tianxing gasped!

Since this person says so, could it be that he has reached the Great Perfection of the Fourth Realm?

That is, the final realm of the Qi Circulation Realm, where Qi permeates the entire body!

"Keep fighting, use every trick in the book."

Seeing that his opponent's strength was so astonishing, Li Tianxing decided to hold back no longer!

His legs bulged instantly, and the Zhenyue Leg Technique began to gather power!

With a thud, the kick landed on the opponent's waist.

Just as Li Tianxing kicked the opponent in the waist.

He suddenly sensed a change in the other person's aura.

The man in black clearly didn't move.

However, Li Tianxing felt a rebound force and was pushed back several steps.

"How does it feel? This is the force of your kick just now."

The man in black turned to Li Tianxing and explained to him.

"So this is how you can use qi..."

Li Tianxing now understood that this energy could be used for more than just simple defense.

It can even be used to deflect enemy attacks!

Perhaps other attack methods can be developed, but they are simply unaware of them.

"Continue, now I will reflect all your force back at you."

If you can dissolve all your power.

That proves that you have complete control over your power.

This way, you can naturally break through the muscle-building barrier.

We've reached the stage of tendon strengthening.

The man in black continued to give instructions.

Li Tianxing clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Li Tianxing took a deep breath, regulated his breathing, and then rushed forward again.

Of course, it bounced back again!

Once, twice, three times.

……

Until the sun set and the crescent moon hung in the sky.

This time...

Li Tianxing slapped the man in black on the back.

But he only let out a muffled groan and did not retreat!

He succeeded this time; he wasn't ejected!

Li Tianxing looked down at the faint golden veins on the back of his hand.

He knew that his afternoon's efforts had not been in vain; he had made a breakthrough!

Moreover, after such high-intensity and high-quality training...

My proficiency with the Splitting Pine Palm and the Mountain-Suppressing Blood-Nourishing Skill has increased significantly!

Today's training was definitely the most satisfying training session Li Tianxing had ever had!

It felt like sparring with an equally matched opponent.

At the same time, one can also become aware of one's own shortcomings and correct them.

The man in black walked up to the tree where his top hat was hanging.

He took off his top hat and elegantly put it on his head:

Congratulations...

You have successfully reached the third level of the first realm: Muscle Refining!
