He transformed from a fierce tiger pillar into a martial saint.

Chu Yang was also taken aback when he heard Chen Fengxiao's words.

Although he didn't need Feng Zixian and Meng De to recommend him to stay and work as a handyman, why did Chen Fengxiao issue this order so soon after they mentioned it?

However, when Chu Yang saw that Chen Fengxiao's gaze swept over him without lingering on him at all, as if he were an insignificant, invisible person, he knew that he was overthinking things.

Ordinary disciples who haven't reached the Ming Jin level have no obvious strengths or backgrounds, so they simply won't catch Chen Fengxiao's eye.

Chen Fengxiao probably wouldn't care that he hadn't been to the martial arts school for so long, as long as his senior brother Chen Feng and the others didn't report it.

Liu Xinzhi was right next to Chu Yang.

Speaking of which, I vaguely heard Feng Zixian and Meng De recommending Chu Yang to stay at the martial arts school as a handyman, and I felt a mix of emotions.

While he practiced diligently at the martial arts school, Chu Yang rarely came. Instead, he stayed behind as a handyman because of his entanglements and personal relationships with Feng Zixian and Meng De, thus having a sliver of hope.

However, upon hearing Chen Fengxiao's words, Liu Xinzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He gently patted Chu Yang on the shoulder.

"Chu Yang, don't be discouraged. Even if you can't stay as a handyman through your two senior brothers' recommendations, you can still get into Zhenyuan Escort Agency through hard work."

"I've heard that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency also has its own martial arts tradition. We could not only receive a monthly salary, but also use our spare time to learn their skills. It might be a good way out!"

Looking into Liu Xinzhi's clear and concerned eyes, Chu Yang, with his wisdom from two lifetimes, naturally saw through human nature.

Liu Xinzhi only saw the surface, unaware of the schemes of Feng Zixian and Meng De.

Chu Yang's eyes were equally sincere: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Xin."

"However, I think I can still stay at the martial arts school."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xinzhi couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Just because you haven't come to the martial arts school to practice martial arts for more than ten months?

Unless the owner is your father!

There were several martial arts students nearby who couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this.

"Haha! Master Chen, it's been two months since we last met. How have you been?"

A middle-aged man wearing a gray-bronze robe with gold coins on his forehead walked in with a beaming smile.

Chen Fengxiao cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch Lin, how have you been?"

Chu Yang couldn't help but take another look. Clearly, this middle-aged man was Lin Yuanshan, the head of the Lin family in Dongcheng.

Speaking of which, the Lin family's businesses included the grain industry. Some of the grain from wealthy households around Chu Family Village was sold to the Lin family.

Of course, Chu Yang also sold some to the Lin family last year, and the price was quite fair.

Lin Yuanshan also subtly took out a wooden box and placed it on the table next to him.

Clearly, there was a gift inside the wooden box.

That's the rule.

After all, Lin Yuanshan should offer a token of gratitude for selecting people from the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School.

"Master Chen, you are indeed even more charismatic than before!"

It was another tall, thin man in his forties, with piercing eyes and a clear, resonant voice.

This man was none other than Guo Huaishui, the head manager of the Amber Trading Company.

Chen Fengxiao returned the greeting with a bow and exchanged pleasantries.

Guo Huaishui then took out a white porcelain bottle.

"Master Chen, these are the pills you asked me to buy for you from the prefectural city last time."

The few disciples with internal strength in the inner courtyard of the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School stared at the white porcelain bottle with eyes as sharp as lightning.

Clearly, the pills inside the white porcelain bottle were exactly what they desperately needed at this stage.

Chen Fengxiao nodded slightly: "Thank you very much, Manager Guo!"

It seems that Guo Huaishui did not bring any gifts, but the price of the pills had already been agreed upon privately, and the price of only half price was enough to show his sincerity.

Soon, a man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes, walked in.

"Wang Chengyuan of the Wang Family Business greets Master Chen! My father is unwell today and unable to come in person. I hope Master Chen will forgive him."

Chu Yang couldn't help but look at Wang Chengyuan. He was the older brother of Wang Yunting, the young lady of the Wang family business whom the previous incarnation was obsessed with.

This was the first time Chu Yang had seen this since he awakened his innate wisdom.

Chen Fengxiao was quite impressed with the polite manners of this younger generation.

He nodded slowly: "It's alright. Please give my regards to your father."

Wang Chengyuan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you, Master Chen, for thinking of my father."

Wang Chengyuan then sat down in a seat on one side.

In martial arts schools, reaching the Ming Jin level is already quite remarkable, and one can hold a position in some organizations, thus increasing income to compensate for the expenses of martial arts training.

Feng Zixian and Meng De were both employed by the Wang family business, which is why they were quite familiar with Wang Yunting. As for Wang Chengyuan, the young master, they were even more familiar with him.

As martial artists at the peak of the Ming Jin level, Feng Zixian and Meng De were undoubtedly a formidable force for their business. On ordinary days, they relied on these nominally employed martial artists for security during important transactions. Therefore, Wang Chengyuan held Feng Zixian and Meng De in the highest regard.

At this moment, Feng Zixian and Meng De also nodded to Wang Chengyuan in greeting, and Wang Chengyuan naturally responded.

Xu Longyuan, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of Zhenyuan镖局 (escort agency), also strode into the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School.

He exuded an aura of authority, his eyes gleaming. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Master Chen! Today, observing Master Chen's disciples, I find them all to be incredibly vigorous and powerful. I've even heard that two of your esteemed students are preparing to break through to the next level. Truly, a great teacher produces great students!"

"Hereby, I wish the master's two esteemed students every success!"

As he spoke, Xu Longyuan also took out a long wooden box, which was obviously a special tool for storing aged ginseng.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fengxiao's heart stirred, and he nodded slightly: "I hope Chief Escort Xu's auspicious words come true!"

Many disciples also focused their attention on the two, their eyes filled with a sense of expectation and envy that they were "role models for us".

The two disciples who were preparing to reach the Transcendent Realm were Senior Brother Chen Feng and Dark Force disciple Ming Jun.

The success rate of using both overt and covert techniques to break through barriers is no more than 30%.

The success rate of reaching the pinnacle of internal strength is less than 10%.

Countless martial artists have perished at the critical juncture of the Transcendent Realm, stagnating thereafter until their death.

Outsiders see their glamorous lives and envy them, but only they feel immense pressure.

Chen Fengxiao then said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, let's begin the assessment!"

Chen Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Fengxiao: "Yes, Master."

Then.

Chen Feng announced loudly, "All disciples participating in the assessment, proceed to the Tiger Stance!"

Upon hearing the order, the twenty-two disciples immediately stood in front of the Tiger Stance.

This area, with its tiger-shaped training posts, is well-equipped with enough materials for fifty or sixty people to practice simultaneously. Next to the posts are also large stones, iron chains, fist-shaped training posts, and other martial arts equipment, enough for another fifty or sixty people to practice at the same time.

At this moment, no one was studying; everyone was watching the assessment.

"Disciples, all of you, assume the Tiger Stance! The assessment begins!"

At his command, all the disciples stepped onto the Tiger Stance, each one sinking their shoulders and dropping their elbows, assuming their posture, exerting their full strength, and displaying their best form.

As Master Chen said, even if you fail the assessment, you can still be selected by a merchant, family, or escort agency and have a good livelihood.

After Chu Yang jumped onto the Tiger Stance, he held his breath and immediately stood still.
