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

"Senior Sister Li?"

Wei Shan's chest heaved rapidly, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

His fierce gaze was fixed on Shi Wen, filled with resentment and a strong desire to regain face from this kid.

He finally withdrew with a cold snort, "Consider yourself lucky, kid!"

He has figured out this kid's methods.

He could have killed his opponent in a few more moves, but unfortunately, Senior Sister Li arrived!

Senior Sister Li is ranked second among the top ten disciples of the inner courtyard. She has a very high status, and even Senior Brother Sun Mingting has to treat her with great respect. How could he dare to offend her?

"What a pity..."

Shi Wen's tense arms relaxed.

He had just intended to break a few bones in Wei Shan's body as a minor punishment, but unexpectedly, Li Qianqian happened to come out.

"Everyone, you can leave now."

As soon as Li Qianqian spoke, the disciples from the outer courtyard who had been watching the commotion all left.

The inner disciples then took a fresh look at this usually quiet, hardworking peasant.

A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

What's going on?

In just half a month, this kid has also successfully tempered his blood?

Could it be that Master Li misjudged him?

Zhao Shanming, who was sitting under the tree drinking tea, observed Shi Wen for a long time.

He shook his head and said, "What a pity. This boy must have only managed to refine a trace of his vital energy at the very last moment when his body was completely depleted."

"Although this child's aptitude is poor, his comprehension is very high. He was able to practice the basic skills to the point of resonating with his qi and blood and successfully enter this realm. It's very good. It's just a pity that the process of nurturing and tempering blood requires nourishing the body and having sufficient foundation before one can try to condense qi and blood."

"Otherwise, forcibly condensed qi and blood will plunder like a greedy wolf, depleting one's foundation!"

"That's why people have good physical constitution. People with good physical constitution not only have extraordinary talent in martial arts, but also have profound knowledge and skills."

"What a pity. This kid will never have any major accidents in his life; at most, he'll only reach the Blood Tempering stage."

Zhao Shanming shook his head and pointed to some parts of Shi Wen's body where the skin and flesh were tightly embedded in the bones as an example, "This is a sign of insufficient foundation and the forced extraction of qi and blood at the moment of birth, resulting in a depletion of the source."

"It's ruined."

His words caused a change in the expressions of the inner court disciples present.

Some inner court disciples originally intended to befriend and win over Zhao Shanming, but now they saw what he said.

I've lost interest in it.

Zhao Shanming is the third-ranked disciple of the inner academy. He is a martial arts master who has been in the Blood Condensation stage for many years. In addition to Bajiquan, he has also learned many other martial arts to protect himself.

They possess strong practical combat capabilities.

If that's what Senior Brother Zhao said, then that must be the case.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Shi! Come to Jiangchenglou for dinner tonight, it's on me, to celebrate!"

Yan Kai chuckled and patted his arm, saying, "You absolutely must come."

"Senior Brother Yan, what's the point of trying to win him over? Senior Brother Zhao already said that he'll only ever reach the Blood Tempering stage. Trying to recruit him is just a waste of your family's money!"

Wei Shan muttered something under his breath, his gaze toward Shi Wen filled with hostility.

As for the other inner court disciples, they did not speak.

Yan Kai's family runs a large business, and he is the only son in the family. Besides practicing martial arts to improve his health, most of the time he uses this identity to recruit martial arts practitioners to work for his family.

Some of the more qualified, skilled, and strong individuals from the outer courtyard were recruited by Yan Kai to serve as guards in his home.

Even within the inner courtyard, there are quite a few people holding positions at the Yanji Chamber of Commerce.

For example, Sun Mingting, Wei Shan, and others.

I can receive a lot of money every month.

"I knew all along that Junior Brother Shi was qualified for the inner academy. Do you remember what I said to everyone when Junior Brother Shi first joined the boxing academy?"

Yan Kai said with a smile, "Let's walk together after school, and have dinner together tonight to celebrate."

"Senior Brother Yan, if you're going to celebrate for him, then you don't need to celebrate for me."

Qin Huan suddenly spoke up, putting Yan Kai in a dilemma. But since he had already said it, he still said, "Your celebration banquet is tomorrow night. I have invited many of your senior brothers from the inner courtyard, as well as some wealthy merchants from the city. That's the main event."

"I don't care, Senior Brother Yan. If you're going to host a banquet for this kid, then I'm not going."

Qin Huan's gaze was indifferent.

He disliked this young man who had cultivated his own qi and blood.

He relied on pills to become a martial artist, while this kid succeeded in tempering his blood on his own. Doesn't that make him seem incompetent?

Wei Shan, standing to the side, smiled and secretly gave Qin Huan a thumbs up.

Qin Huan nodded in response, feeling pleased with the recognition from the members of his small group.

"this……"

Yan Kai was immediately at a loss, while Shi Wen had no appetite and calmly said, "Senior Brother Yan, thank you for your kindness, but how about we get together another day when we have more free time?"

"All right."

Yan Kai sighed helplessly, and the two chatted briefly.

The conversation had just ended.

After watching the spectacle, the inner disciples lost interest in Shi Wen and turned their attention away, discussing the affairs of the Flying Cloud Pavilion.

Clearly, many inner court disciples were alarmed by today's events.

Conversely, a martial artist who forcibly breaks through the deficiency of the source, and a genius with an eighth-grade root bone.

They are Yan Kai, so they will definitely choose to befriend Qin Heng as well.

Anyone with eyes can see who has better talent and a higher potential!

Many inner court disciples returned at the call.

Li Qianqian said, "Junior Brother Shi, come with me to register your information."

"it is good."

Shi Wen followed Li Qianqian to the accounting room.

As for the accountant, Shi Wen basically never came here except when he was handing over money.

"Junior brother, this is the inner court disciple's uniform and identity token. If you encounter any trouble in Black Cloud County, you can reveal your identity as a boxing academy disciple, which may reduce a lot of trouble."

"In addition, becoming a formal disciple of the academy means tuition is waived. You'll also receive 10 jin of exotic beast meat and a monthly dose of bone-strengthening tiger medicine, as well as the core martial arts of the 'Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist.' This is the foundation of our academy, providing a complete set of techniques and methods for tempering the entire body. Only after learning this martial art can one be called a true disciple of the Eight Extremes Fist!"

Li Qianqian handed him several sets of clothes and personally carved the character "stone" on the wooden token.

He handed it to Shi Wen and said, "Now that you've become an inner disciple, you can no longer betray your sect. If anything happens to your sect, you must lend a helping hand. At the same time, the martial arts academy will charge you 10% of your time spent affiliating outside the sect."

"This fee includes free tuition, bone-strengthening medicine to accompany Bajiquan, exotic animal meat, and the core martial arts of the academy."

"Of course, if you don't have a suitable organization to align with, the boxing academy can help you contact a suitable chamber of commerce or gang to sign an agreement, so that you can obtain a stable source of income to support your daily training. The affiliation fee is about 30%."

"You can refuse if you don't want to."

Li Qianqian recounted the incident.

Upon hearing this, Shi Wen didn't find anything unacceptable about it.

After all, Senior Sister Li had laid everything out clearly, and since I was here to learn martial arts, I would definitely have to pay a corresponding price if I wanted to learn the core techniques.

He originally thought he would have to pay more tuition to learn real Bajiquan.

did not expect.

Besides the tuition waiver, you also get 10 kilograms of exotic beast meat and a monthly bone-strengthening medicine, which is quite good.

Sure enough, only those who entered the inner courtyard were treated as individuals.

"Master Li is away from the boxing academy these days. You'll have to wait until he returns before he gives you the extra 10 catties of exotic beast meat for this month. Master Li controls the core exotic beast meat. You can take the bone-strengthening medicine home after class."

Li Qianqian took out a pen and wrote something down on a piece of paper.

He then asked, "Junior Brother Shi, do you currently have a faction you're affiliated with?"

"Not at the moment." Shi Wen shook his head. Li Qianqian nodded, wrote something on a piece of paper, and then said, "I'll make some contacts in the next few days. Once I find a suitable target, I'll sign the contract for you directly. What do you think?"

"I have no problem on my end."

Shi Wen asked curiously, "I just don't understand how much the affiliation fee is roughly?"

"Affiliation is simply cooperating with a certain force, such as some restaurants, some streets, some chambers of commerce, or small gangs that ask you to help them affiliate. For a martial artist like you, Junior Brother Shi, who has just tempered his blood and qi, it is probably between 10 and 100 guan per month. It is just a simple affiliation. You can go and help when there is something. If you have affiliation with a lot of people, the monthly profit will be quite considerable."

"Because Junior Brother Shi, you have only recently tempered your Qi and Blood, you have virtually no reputation. It is only through the reputation and connections of the martial arts academy that you have the opportunity to get this affiliation opportunity."

Li Qianqian said, "If Junior Brother Li gains some fame, he might be invited to serve as a retainer."

"Or someone might take a liking to you and want to invest in you, then you could probably earn around 500 to 1000 guan per month in income. If it's higher, it depends on the specific circumstances, because a Blood Tempering stage martial artist is just barely stepping into the threshold of martial arts and can't be considered a true master."

"Ideally, someone should be willing to invest in you. Junior Brother Yan Kai has invested in many fellow disciples in the inner courtyard. For example, Junior Brother Wei Shan is a retainer of the Yan Family Chamber of Commerce."

"If the Yan family has any important matters, he has to go and help; he can't refuse."

With Li Qianqian's explanation.

Shi Wen understood quite a bit and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, I understand."

"Well, junior brother, I'll send your information to some wealthy families in the city and see if they want to invest in you."

Li Qianqian quickly picked up her pen and wrote, "If I hadn't chosen to gamble on you, then doing this affiliation thing would have been too much of a way to accumulate money, but it would have been too complicated. It would have been better to get a sponsor from one company."

Upon hearing this...

Shi Wen casually replied, "Alright, thank you for your help, Senior Sister."

"Well, Master Li is currently unavailable. I'll teach you the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist for now. If you feel my teaching is inadequate, you can ask Master Li for further instruction when he returns."

Li Qianqian handed over the symbols of her status as an inner court disciple to Shi Wen.

They then arrived at the open space in the inner courtyard.

He began teaching Shi Wen the "Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations Eight Extremes Fist".

When Shi Wen learned about the real Bajiquan, he was also amazed.

This set of Bajiquan moves is perfect and coherent, with many more basic killing moves than the basic skills, and many moves can also be used to train more parts of the body.

What surprised Shi Wen even more was...

This Bajiquan, like the Taibao Henglian Gong, also has a method for circulating internal energy.

"Double strike, double yang peak, dusting, fist salute, bowing, bowing stance, lifting the heel, supporting punch..."

"Two rituals, Overlord Gathering Cauldron, Rib Elbow, Crotch Thrust, Flip-Over Hammer..."

"Turn around and push your palm, offer your hips, hook and step, single ritual, finish the stance!"

Li Qianqian gracefully finished a complete set of Bajiquan, then asked in a deep voice, "Junior brother, can you tell the difference?"
