Martial arts immortality begins with upgrading buildings.

Wu Dayong's smugness vanished completely, his smile frozen on his lips.

He stared into Zhang Peng's eyes, trying to see if he was joking, but the other man's face was full of certainty, and he didn't seem to be faking it at all.

His face flushed red and then turned pale. He gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

He ran all the way to the other side of the courtyard, found a few inner courtyard disciples who were resting, and pretended to chat to find out about Chen Qing's background.

After several rounds of questioning and answering, his heart sank little by little.

It turns out that Chen Qing really was a dockworker; an apprentice from the outer academy personally witnessed him working at the dock.

It is said that he couldn't even afford the tuition, and the reason he was able to join the Wujiquan Club was entirely due to Song Zheming's connections.

As for the money spent on forty days of tonifying the body, it was all funded by the Song family.

He was of inferior talent, had no background, and was a laborer.

Such people are at the very bottom of the social hierarchy within the inner circle; they have no right to enter their circle at all.

What's more, he also offended Shen Yifei!

Shen Yifei is the son of the garrison captain. He has excellent physical attributes and is the most promising young talent in the inner courtyard to break through to the Transformation Realm in the future.

If I offend him, will I have a good life in the inner courtyard in the future?

He had even tried to curry favor with Chen Qing before.

Wu Dayong's face was extremely ugly, and he became angrier the more he thought about it.

He rushed over and found Wang Tianle, who was practicing his martial arts. His face grim, he said, "Senior Brother Wang, that Chen Qing can't stay in our circle. We must kick him out!"

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tianle was taken aback and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Wu Dayong gritted his teeth and told them everything he had found out.

After hearing this, Wang Tianle's expression changed slightly. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he did not agree to Wu Dayong's suggestion.

"I invited him in yesterday, and since he agreed, how can I kick him out for no reason?"

He shook his head and said frankly, "Even if he's a dockworker, it won't prevent us from exchanging ideas and making progress together."

"But he offended Shen Yifei!"

Wu Dayong hurriedly reminded him.

"So what? Master has long stipulated that fellow disciples must not fight amongst themselves. No matter how capable Shen Yifei is, he can't do anything to us."

Wang Tianle said seriously, "In our small gathering, we don't care about backgrounds, we only care about sincerity."

"Fine, if that's the case, then I'm out!"

Wu Dayong's face turned ashen. He uttered a single sentence and turned to leave.

Wang Tianle did not try to stop him.

He invited Chen Qing yesterday, and it's clear he was interested in Chen Qing's background.

However, his original purpose in organizing this small exchange was to make some brothers who could support each other in the future.

Regardless of Chen Qing's background, as long as he treats people sincerely, he is worth befriending.

On the contrary, he despised Wu Dayong's sycophantic behavior.

Wang Tianle then found two other members of the exchange group and truthfully informed them of Chen Qing and Wu Dayong's situation.

Liu Jiaxiang immediately announced his withdrawal.

Wang Meng smiled憨厚ly and said that he himself came from a farming background and didn't care whether Chen Qing was a laborer or not.

And so, because of Chen Qing's addition, what was originally a small gathering of five people ended up with only three.

In the afternoon, after lunch, the senior student came over again to instruct Chen Qing in boxing.

After two days of instruction, Chen Qing's every move has become more precise.

After giving Chen Qing several instructions, the senior brother left, leaving Chen Qing to practice on his own.

Chen Qing recalled the small exchange meeting he had joined yesterday and suddenly had the idea of ​​practicing with others to improve his skills.

So he walked towards Wang Tianle.

Wang Tianle was seen sparring with a simple-minded man named Wang Meng.

Chen Qing walked closer, and the two stopped to talk.

"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Wang Meng."

Chen Qing greeted the two men, then asked with a smile, "Why aren't the other two senior brothers chatting with you?"

"Junior Brother Chen."

The two responded.

Wang Tianle truthfully stated, "Both of them have already withdrawn from our exchange meeting."

Why is that?

Chen Qing asked in confusion.

Wang Tianle recounted what had happened, but only mentioned that Chen Qing had offended Shen Yifei, without mentioning his status as a laborer.

Chen Qing was speechless upon hearing this. He didn't think he had ever provoked Shen Yifei.

I don't know why that genius harbors such malice towards me.

Could it be because he always outperformed him in the small-scale stance training competitions at the outer courtyard, and he harbored resentment?

That's a bit too stingy.

"I'll withdraw and call those two senior brothers back, so as not to implicate you."

Chen Qing said dismissively.

Anyway, Xie Wuji had already arranged for an Inner Strength Hall Master to accompany him in actual combat.

This small exchange meeting was of little use to him.

"I, Wang Tianle, am not the kind of person who changes course with the wind. Since I invited Junior Brother Chen to join, how could I let you withdraw without a reason?"

Wang Tianle waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a serious face, "No matter how powerful Shen Yifei is, he can't control our little association."

Wang Meng, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and comforted him with a simple smile: "Master has forbidden internal strife. We should just focus on practicing our own boxing and not worry about those messy things."

"Then please give me your guidance in the future, senior brothers."

Chen Qing nodded, having a very good impression of the two.

The three then took turns practicing and exchanging ideas.

This kind of sparring is equivalent to light combat; everyone just exchanges moves and counters each other without actually exerting their full strength.

It was even less likely that Chen Qing would use his talent.

Therefore, his lack of experience was quickly exposed.

During the sparring session, he was completely dominated by the two opponents.

After each match, Wang Tianle and Wang Meng would share their experience without reservation.

After several sparring sessions, Chen Qing gained a completely new understanding of the application of Wuji Quan in actual combat.

After another battle ended, a line of familiar small characters popped up in front of Chen Qing's eyes.

[Wuji Fist +1]

"It turns out that practicing with others gives you more experience faster than practicing alone."

Chen Qing was overjoyed.

No wonder everyone wants to form small exchange meetings.

Compared to practicing alone, sparring with someone not only increases practical experience but also accelerates the understanding of Wujiquan.

For the rest of the time, Wang Tianle and Wang Meng took turns sparring with Chen Qing.

They showed no disdain for him because he was a beginner.

Instead, they deliberately cooperated and provided him with tips to help him quickly improve his practical experience.

After an afternoon of sparring, Chen Qing clearly felt that his combat skills had been greatly improved.

If he were to face his opponent from the morning in this situation...

He can completely crush his former self now.

After the final round of sparring, the two sparring partners looked at Chen Qing with shock in their eyes.

At the beginning, Chen Qing acted like a complete novice who knew nothing.

Their moves are stiff; they only know how to mechanically apply a few fixed moves, and they are very clumsy when responding to situations.

However, after several sparring sessions, Chen Qing was able to counter each move.

The style of boxing has also changed, and they know how to strike and change their moves at the right time.

In just one afternoon, he went from a complete novice to someone who could hold his own against them.

This progress is so fast it's unbelievable!

It should be noted that it took them more than half a month to go from beginners to Chen Qing's level.

Chen Qing's learning ability, which he acquired in just one afternoon, is simply phenomenal!
