Gao Wu: From a poor man in the outer city to a martial saint of the ten directions

"Is it that hard? I just train a lot," Wei Xiu replied casually.

"Practice makes perfect?"

Hearing Wei Xiu's perfunctory words, Da Xiong's copper bell-like eyes widened even more, clearly showing his disbelief.

"Brother, don't try to fool me! Although I held back a bit, my Thunderclap Fist still had an impact force of over a thousand kilograms; it could have pierced through even a thin steel plate!"

"You're not even a quasi-martial artist. Even if you bang your head against concrete pillars every day, you shouldn't be able to avoid even a mild concussion!"

Big Bear scratched his newly cut buzz cut with his intact left hand, his honesty revealing a stubborn streak.

"You must have some special way of resisting blows, or..."

"Or, he might have an extremely twisted sparring partner!"

Before Wei Xiu could speak, Lin Qi suddenly leaned over mysteriously.

He pulled out the latest holographic folding phone from the inside pocket of his designer jacket, quickly swiped the screen twice, and then shoved a photo directly into Big Bear's face.

"Hey big guy, take a good look. My brother's iron head was built up by this monster in the photo, punch after punch, using pure muscle power!"

Big Bear subconsciously squinted, his gaze falling on the screen.

He was completely stunned after just one glance!

The photo was clearly taken secretly, with the dilapidated training ground of Linghai No. 7 Middle School in the background.

In the center of the image stands a boy with his upper body bare.

His terrifying height of nearly two meters, his exaggeratedly suffocating inverted triangle physique, and his arms, thicker than an average person's thighs and with veins bulging...

Even through the screen, Da Xiong could feel a suffocating sense of oppression coming at him!

"hiss……!"

Big Bear gasped, his slightly flushed face now replaced by an intense, feverish excitement!

"This...this size, this muscle density...this is practically a humanoid monster!"

He suddenly looked up, grabbed Lin Qi's wrist, and in his bloodshot eyes, there was the same desire to become stronger as Wei Xiu.

"Brother, who is this guy? Which martial arts school does he go to? How much Yuanli does he have?" Big Bear asked three questions in a row, swallowing hard.

"Could...could you introduce me? I'd like to have a match with him!"

Wei Xiu chuckled inwardly as he looked at the green-eyed bear.

That look in his eyes... it's all so familiar.

They are all hot-blooded fools who have been beaten down by the martial spirit. When they encounter a strong person, even if they know they will be beaten to a pulp, they can't help but want to bite off a couple of pieces of flesh.

However, Wei Xiu's attention was not entirely focused on what the bear was saying.

His gaze fell subtly on the bear's right hand, which was wrapped in thick bandages.

"strangeness."

A hint of doubt flashed in Wei Xiu's eyes.

Normally, an injury like that, with ripped flesh and a minor fracture of the finger bone, would at least cause severe local edema and pain that would last for several days.

I had also suffered a bone fracture when I was hit hard by Zhou Xiong before.

Only those formal martial artists whose Yuan Power has broken through the thousand mark can have their body cells actively absorb Yuan Power, allowing their damaged bones to recover more quickly.

The reason I can eat steak here as if nothing happened is entirely due to the system's heaven-defying [Immortal] talent, which is silently repairing me.

"But this bear, although it's wrapped in bandages, can still flex and extend its fingers slightly and flexibly. There's no sign of redness or swelling, and it's not even sweating anymore," Wei Xiu thought to himself.

"It seems that the medical room of the Dome Martial Arts School definitely has high-grade healing medicines that far exceed those of ordinary medicines on the market."

Thinking of this, Wei Xiu became even more determined to stay here.

With advanced medical care, you can go all out to gain experience!

"Ahem, as for introductions... we can talk about it another time."

Seeing the hungry look in Da Xiong's eyes, Lin Qi quickly pulled his phone back, coughed twice, and changed the subject.

"Hey big guy, I thought you broke your arm and came here with some people to cause trouble for us, trying to ambush us in the cafeteria."

"Looking for trouble?"

Big Bear paused for a moment, then, as if he had heard something extremely degrading, he patted his chest forcefully with his intact left hand.

"Brother, what do you take me for, Xiong Batian? What's a martial arts school for? It's a place to train and become stronger!"

"If I'm not as skilled, I'll take the beating! My respect is reserved only for tough guys who are stronger than me!"

He paused here, and looked at Wei Xiu with extreme reverence.

"Brother Wei Xiu was willing to take my Thunder Fist with his head; that makes him a true hero!"

"Only spineless, despicable people resort to underhanded tactics when they can't win a fight!"

Finally, Da Xiong turned his head with utter disdain and gave a heavy, cold snort towards Huo Quan's table not far away.

Wei Xiu and Lin Qi followed his gaze and met Huo Quan's cold and wary eyes.

The two exchanged a smile and nodded knowingly.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense."

Big Bear suddenly changed the subject, and a smile that was both sympathetic and somewhat gloating appeared on his rugged face.

"Brother Wei Xiu, I'm not the one who's causing you trouble. But your real trouble has indeed arrived."

"What trouble?" Wei Xiu's expression froze, and he put down the fork in his hand.

"Are you full?" Big Bear asked instead of answering.

"That's about it."

"It's good that you're full."

Big Bear grinned, suddenly stood up, and swung his good left hand heavily in mid-air.

call!

The sound of wind breaking through the air wasn't particularly jarring in the somewhat noisy cafeteria.

But next second.

Splash!

At the two dining tables behind Wei Xiu and Lin Qi, four or five apprentices who had been enjoying their meals suddenly stood up in unison!

Ignoring the surprised looks from others, they walked straight to Wei Xiu's table and lined up in a semi-circle, like a blue wall.

The lean young man at the head stepped forward, bowed slightly, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, and spoke with extreme solemnity.

"Wei Xiu, sparring partner. At 1:00 PM sharp, please engage me in an unrestricted sparring session!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boys behind him hurriedly followed.

"I have an appointment for 2 PM!"

"All three points are mine! I'll pay double the tuition, don't try to take them from me!"

"Wei Xiu will be my sparring partner from 5 to 6 PM. Please give me your guidance!"

Looking at this group of high-quality "leeks" lining up to "give him experience," Wei Xiu was stunned for two seconds, then couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, then please guide me!"

……

It was nine o'clock at night, and the night was deep.

The heavy alloy doors of the dome-shaped martial arts hall slowly opened.

Lin Qi and Wei Xiu walked side by side into the cold wind.

Due to the disaster warning, the streetlights in the inner city were dimmed considerably, and most of the shops on both sides had already closed.

Walking on the empty streets, Lin Qi's gaze kept glancing at Wei Xiu, and his eyes twitched incessantly!
