Martial Arts: Starting with Bajiquan, I will prove my divine power through the ultimate path!

"Is that you, kid?"

When Zhou Heling saw who was blocking her, her face suddenly turned extremely ugly!

Back then, when this young man tried to bribe Yan Kai to get a spot in the ship guild, she looked down on this handsome young man and often made things difficult for him openly or secretly, and even allowed the outer disciples to cause trouble.

It's a pity that all this kid does is practice his martial arts.

She basically doesn't interact with people, which makes it impossible for her to target this guy even if she wanted to.

In addition, the Xingshui Gang had run into some problems recently, so they hadn't paid any attention to this kid. They didn't expect him to dare to stand up for Li Tiezhu.

"Damn it, I'm already furious, and you dare to come out and cause trouble?"

Zhou Heling slapped Shi Wen across the face. Even though she only used a fraction of her strength, this slap could probably turn Shi Wen into an idiot!

Shi Wen neither dodged nor evaded, but instead struck out with a palm to meet the attack.

The moment their palms clashed, a dull thud was heard, like two iron arms colliding, causing their clothes to billow as if a strong wind were blowing.

However, what was unexpected was...

The thin outer disciple was unharmed, but Zhou Heling staggered back four or five steps, her arm snapping and cracking with a cracking sound. The broken bone pierced through the flesh, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground!

Zhou Heling stared blankly, unable to believe it.

Shi Wen was also somewhat surprised. He was afraid of killing Zhou Heling, so he didn't dare to use his full strength, let alone his blood and qi. He didn't expect that he could break Zhou Heling's hand.

Is it really that fragile?

Wow!

In an instant, many exclamations rang out throughout the outer courtyard.

One by one, the outer court disciples stared at Shi Wen in shock, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

What's going on?

How could an outer court disciple break an inner court disciple's hand?

How is that possible?

unless……

The stone temperature has tempered and refined the blood and qi!

Zhou Heling quickly came to her senses and exclaimed in shock, "You've refined your Qi and Blood?"

She looked completely surprised.

But he quickly toned down his previous rudeness and brutality.

She silently repositioned her broken hand bone, tore off a strip of cloth from her clothes to bandage it simply, and went to the pharmacy to treat her wound without a word.

Zhou Heling, she didn't even cause any trouble or make any threats!

Compared to his previous rough attitude.

They're like completely different people!

The difference in how inner court disciples were treated compared to outer court disciples left the outer court disciples dumbfounded.

"Even if Senior Brother Shi has refined his Qi and Blood, how could he possibly break Senior Sister Zhou's hand? What's going on?"

Someone asked, puzzled.

Among the crowd, a disciple whose elder was a martial artist whispered, "You don't know this, do you? Besides having superior physical abilities compared to ordinary people, martial artists in the Blood Tempering stage can unleash dozens of times more destructive power when circulating their Qi and blood. My uncle is a martial artist; when he doesn't use his Qi and blood, his strength is only slightly greater than an ordinary person. But when he does use his Qi and blood, he can break ironware with his bare hands!"

"Just now, Senior Sister Zhou probably didn't expect Senior Brother Shi to have tempered his blood and qi, and was caught off guard, so she was injured."

"However, those injuries are something a martial artist can recover from in a few days..."

After someone explained.

The outer disciples present suddenly understood.

But soon, an indescribable discomfort welled up in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Shi Wen with a hint of jealousy.

Who wouldn't be jealous?

Many people might make a few sarcastic remarks about Qin Heng's ability to break through to the Blood Tempering stage in such a short time, expressing envy and jealousy, but in reality, they felt that he was a genius and that breaking through to the Blood Tempering stage was normal!

But who is Shi Wen?

My family is poor, my physical constitution is ordinary, and I'm not a genius, so how can I possibly refine my qi and blood?

Why can't those who have refined their qi and blood be them?

After Zhou Heling left, the outer courtyard fell into an eerie silence, with everyone staring at Shi Wen with complicated expressions.

"Junior Brother Shi, congratulations! I knew you could do it!"

Li Tiezhu's pale face was filled with excitement as he congratulated Shi Wen, "I knew you had high comprehension from the beginning, but I didn't expect you to succeed before me. Congratulations!"

"I also want to thank my senior brother for sparring with me back then; he helped me a lot."

Shi Wen responded with a smile, showing no arrogance despite his change in status.

To be honest, Li Tiezhu did help him.

If he hadn't sparred with Li Tiezhu regularly, he would have had no combat experience at all, and even with his martial arts skills, he would still have been beaten to death!

Shi Wen helped Li Tiezhu sit down in the armchair.

This is where Zhou Heling was lying. Li Tiezhu didn't dare to sit there, but Shi Wen said directly, "It's okay, let her come find me if she dares."

Li Tiezhu couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to sit down.

While chatting with Shi Wen, his pale face would occasionally flush.

As he spoke, Li Tiezhu sighed, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Shi. After becoming a martial artist, you've finally gained a foothold in Black Cloud County. I was thinking of bringing you to the Xingshui Gang to make some money after I became a martial artist myself, but I never expected that the Xingshui Gang would be gone, and so would I."

"A couple of days ago, someone came to the dock and caused trouble, injuring several disciples of the boxing academy. Senior Sister Zhou asked me to go and deal with it. I didn't expect that the person who lost would still sneak up on me and break my ribs. The ribs punctured my lungs, and it will cost a lot of money to treat them."

"I was almost able to refine my Qi and blood, but I never expected..."

As he said this, a look of melancholy flashed across his face.

Unable to hold back, her eyes reddened, and she said in a voice only she could hear, with a self-deprecating tone, "Junior Brother Shi, do you think someone like me can really achieve anything?"

"I believe you can do it, Senior Brother Li."

Shi Wen handed the money pouch at his waist to Li Tiezhu and said, "Senior Brother Li, I don't have much money here, but it should be enough to help you in an emergency. Please take it."

There was a ten-tael silver note and some loose silver in the purse.

It's something he usually carries with him in case of emergency; this money should be enough for the other party to pay for medical treatment.

Li Tiezhu refused several times.

He accepted the money pouch, thinking that it wasn't much money and he would repay Junior Brother Shi's favor later.

The two chatted for a while.

Li Tiezhu staggered away, carrying the not-so-heavy bag of money.

However, the focus of the foreign language department had already shifted away from him.

The outer disciples still haven't recovered, their eyes filled with complex emotions, and they keep stealing glances at Shi Wen.

An eerie silence fell over the entire midday.

First Qin Huan, and now Shi Wen, all of them became martial artists after joining the boxing academy for about half a month. How could such a thing not be a shock to them?

They couldn't understand why Shi Wen could succeed!

Just because you've been practicing hard?

During this time, Zhou Heling returned after bandaging her wound and saw Shi Wen sleeping in her chair.

His face looked rather grim, but he still swallowed his anger.

He grabbed a reclining chair from an outer disciple, lay down to rest, and didn't get into a conflict with Shi Wen.

Although she is rude and bullies the weak, she is not stupid.

She had been through that process herself, and she knew how agonizing and unbearable it was to refine one's qi and blood.

For a peasant to forge his blood and qi, he must have paid an unimaginable price in blood and sweat, been fearless of death, and ruthless in his training!

She didn't want to provoke this kind of person.

Shi Wen took a rare break from practicing his martial arts at noon and rested on the armchair.

After the lunch break,

Shi Wen then stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard amidst the complex and envious gazes of many outer courtyard disciples.

The inner courtyard is not large, only about a hundred square meters.

It was separated by only a courtyard wall, yet it kept countless outer disciples outside.

Countless people, except for the one time when they first come to become disciples, are fortunate enough to enter the inner courtyard, and then spend their entire lives trying to enter it again!

There weren't many people in the inner courtyard, or perhaps they hadn't gotten up yet.

Although the boxing academy is not large, the inner disciples enjoy high welfare benefits, and there are also corresponding single rooms for living in the inner courtyard.

Wei Shan yawned as he went to the well to fetch water to wash his face.

The moment he saw Shi Wen, his eyes widened in surprise, then turned fierce as he barked, "You bastard! Who gave you permission to come in without announcing yourself? If you have something to say, go and inform Zhou Heling. Let Zhou Heling do the talking. Who do you think you are, daring to come to the inner courtyard?"

Wei Shan joined the sect later than Zhou Heling, so theoretically they should both call each other "senior sister".

But now that she's being addressed by her first name, it's clear that Zhou Heling has been kicked out of this small circle.

Shi Wen's pupils contracted slightly, his face remained expressionless, and he ignored Wei Shan.

If Wei Shan asked him politely, he would answer, but what does this attitude mean?

He's already revealed that he's refined his qi and blood; if he still holds back, wouldn't all his training have been for nothing?

"Damn it, what are you pretending for!"

Wei Shan was furious. He rushed forward in a flash, like a drawn bow, and then launched a powerful punch. His whole body was like a fully drawn bow, producing a dull and violent sound!

Wei Shan let out a roar that sounded like a ferocious beast.

This punch aimed straight at Shi Wen's chest. Although he did not use his qi and blood, he did not hold back his strength either!

"Good timing."

As Shi Wen dodged to the side, he moved close to Wei Shan, his iron shoulder striking like a tumble across the land, instantly sending Wei Shan flying. Wei Shan crashed heavily to the ground, seeing stars.

"Damn it, you're asking for it!!"

Wei Shan lost face, his eyes filled with extreme ferocity, and his blood surged through his legs, rushing towards Shi Wen. His first move was a killing blow.

He didn't think he would lose to this kid.

I was just waking up and my head was all foggy. I was also careless, which is why I was knocked away by Tieshan Kao.

"The lion opens its mouth!"

"Cross Fist!"

"Overlord Gathers the Cauldron, Crotch Thrust, Hammer Support, Skyward Cannon..."

From within the inner courtyard, bursts of sharp, resonant sounds erupted!

Wei Shan was like a raging beast, his every move carrying a ferocious killing intent. Wherever he stepped, the blue bricks shattered, and his muscles bulged as he unleashed terrifying destructive power like a human machine.

Each punch and kick was like a strike of steel, exploding with a thunderous sound in the air!

The deadly move struck like a rumbling thunderclap!

The outer disciples who had gathered to watch the spectacle were terrified by the series of deadly attacks.

Senior Brother Wei Shan truly lives up to his reputation as a Blood Tempering stage expert who has only been in the inner academy for half a year. He has mastered Bajiquan to such a terrifying degree that a single move from him could leave them half-dead!

Laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details.

Shi Wen's breathing remained steady; though he did not retaliate, he appeared calm and composed.

On the other hand, Wei Shan, who seemed fierce, was in a very awkward position because he was short of breath and unable to exert his new strength due to the short-term burst of energy!

This outer disciple named Shi Wen is truly remarkable.

Their combat experience is surprisingly sophisticated.

Knowing that they couldn't defeat the inner court disciples in a head-on confrontation, they moved around, dodging and exhausting the opponent's energy.

"As expected, this kid is no pushover. If I fight with all my might, I'll probably have to pay a price to win!"

Zhou Heling, who was watching the commotion from the doorway, muttered to herself.

Having roughly figured out Wei Shan's moves, Shi Wen stopped dodging and prepared to strike, inflicting minor injuries and ending this farce.

Li Qianqian stepped out at this moment, her gaze icy as she said, "Stop! Don't be ridiculous!"
