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

Under the blazing sun and with a sweltering wind, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the foreheads and temples of the disciples participating in the assessment.

The veteran disciples, though present, didn't seem to care much; instead, they exchanged subtle glances among themselves.

As for Chen Fengxiao, he was also drinking tea in a seat under the shade of a tree, talking quietly with Guo Huaishui, Lin Yuanshan and others.

Chen Feng glanced at his fellow disciples on the Tiger Stance, making a preliminary assessment based on their form and strength.

The disciples of Tiger Roar Martial Arts School became even more focused and concentrated when they saw Chen Feng carefully examining their stance training.

When Chen Feng saw his junior brothers who usually had a good attitude towards cultivation, he couldn't help but nod slightly in approval.

Of course, he also saw some disappointment in his eyes when he saw those junior brothers who were usually lazy in their cultivation.

He came from a humble background and had to borrow money from several families to afford his apprenticeship. Through diligent study and questioning, he has reached the point where he is about to reach the pinnacle of enlightenment.

Therefore, he always held a glimmer of hope for his disciples who came from humble backgrounds.

When his gaze swept over Chu Yang, he couldn't help but shake his head.

When Chu Yang entered the martial arts school, he took the initiative to ask him about the essentials of stance training for several days in a row. He was also quite intelligent, and Chu Yang's physique was also decent. Although his family was not wealthy, they were not poor either. In his opinion, Chu Yang was a promising talent who could be cultivated through hard work.

"Unfortunately, Chu Yang's intentions are biased..."

Chen Feng thought to himself.

Just as he was feeling quite disappointed and preparing to check on the next disciple...

He suddenly froze for a moment.

"Wait... Chu Yang's stance just now..."

His gaze snapped back to Chu Yang.

At this moment, Chu Yang's face was resolute, his forehead was covered with crystal-clear beads of sweat, his veins were bulging, his waist and stance were perfectly coordinated, and the muscles in his legs were clearly bulging. He was as immovable as a mountain.

In the shadows, it seemed as if a fierce tiger was attached to its body, ready to roar and charge at any time, or to sneak into the mountains and forests at any time.

"This... the essence of the Fierce Tiger Stance is so perfect! His aura is steady, his breathing is like thunder, and his blood and qi are surging. He has clearly completed the blood tempering and entered the tendon tempering stage!"

"He's actually reached the Ming Jin realm?! And the mid-stage of Ming Jin at that?!"

Chen Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.

It should be noted that Chen Feng usually transmits skills on behalf of his master, and he is very familiar with the cultivation progress of each disciple. He is also thoroughly familiar with the cultivation essentials of the Fierce Tiger Stance.

Every martial art has an optimal state of perfection. If one can reach this state and practice accordingly, the results will be twice as effective with half the effort. It also signifies that the martial artist has reached an extremely high level of understanding of this martial art.

Even Chen Feng himself could only enter a perfect state for half the time when practicing the Fierce Tiger Stance.

As for the group of martial artists in front of us, even the two or three most outstanding ones only occasionally reach the perfect state.

These two or three martial artists have now successfully reached the Ming Jin level, and they will definitely be able to stay at the martial arts school after this assessment.

However, Chu Yang has now maintained the Tiger Stance in its perfect state for several breaths!

pat!pat!

Two disciples in succession finally gave in and fell off the wooden stake.

They looked dejected.

Their performance was actually better than usual, and they had completely reached their limit in terms of endurance.

However, with so many people watching, no matter how much progress they made, they were always the first to fall off the stake, and thus became the ones at the bottom.

Several disciples with internal strength were qualified to sit nearby. They also looked towards the Tiger Stance.

Those martial arts practitioners who had been chatting and talking also gradually began to pay attention to the changes on the scene.

Feng Zixian and Meng De were planning to introduce Chu Yang to the Wang family business. After all, this way they could continue to exploit him, set up a scheme, and probably settle most of the debt they had just incurred at the gambling den.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Three more people, exhausted, fell off the wooden stake.

One of them was so exhausted that his whole body went limp, and when he fell, he landed face down, resulting in his face being covered in blood.

After the first disciple fell from the wooden stake, Chen Fengxiao paused slightly and said, "Let's see how they perform first."

Xu Longyuan of Zhenyuan Escort Agency, Lin Yuanshan of Dongcheng Lin Family, Wang Chengyuan of Wang Family Trading Company, and Guo Huaishui of Amber Trading Company nodded, paused their conversation, and stared intently at the Tiger Stake.

They have already started looking for candidates.

"Um?"

Chen Fengxiao frowned slightly.

He noticed the situation of his eldest disciple, Chen Feng.

Unable to master the Tiger Stance, lacking the strength to sustain it, more and more disciples are coming down from the wooden stake.

Now, only seven people remain on the wooden stakes.

"That person hasn't come to the martial arts gym for over ten months; I can't believe they've managed to keep going until now!"

"This should mean he's already entered the Ming Jin stage, right?"

"The duration of stance training is not enough to definitively determine whether he has entered the stage of Ming Jin (manifested strength); the key indicator is the smooth flow of Qi and blood. However, the fact that he can maintain stance training to this extent is enough to demonstrate that his foundation is solid..."

Some disciples couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Senior Brother Ming, that junior brother's condition seems to be at the peak of the Fierce Tiger Stance, right?"

The one who spoke was Meng Wan, a female disciple among the seven disciples of the Dark Force Realm, and her eyes showed surprise.

Mingjun, a martial artist at the peak of the Dark Force realm who was about to reach the Grandmaster level, possessed exceptional insight and slowly nodded: "That's right. That's the perfect state of the Fierce Tiger Stance. No wonder Senior Brother was somewhat distracted."

Another disciple specializing in internal strength, Liang Guokun, also commented, "This junior brother has quite good comprehension. Moreover, he has already entered the realm of external strength!"

The disciples who had fallen from the wooden stakes earlier had come to the side, standing behind these internal energy disciples.

Hearing the conversation of these fellow practitioners with hidden strength, their eyes were filled with shock and envy.

Liu Xinzhi had persevered for a long time before finally getting off the wooden stake. He was very satisfied with his performance and was now almost certain that he would be selected by the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.

He was exhausted, and by the time he reached the back, his vision was blurry. He could only see that there were seven or eight people left, but he couldn't make out who they were.

He sat down on the ground to rest with several disciples, just about to turn around and look for Chu Yang.

However, upon hearing the words of several senior brothers with internal strength, he looked at the wooden stake and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"That...is Chu Yang? How is that possible!"

A sense of emptiness welled up inside Liu Xinzhi.

Wang Ke, equally incredulous, clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice, "Why!"

Several disciples looked gloomy and lifeless.

Meng De couldn't help but walk up to Liang Guokun and ask in a low voice, "Senior Brother Liang, has Chu Yang broken through to the Ming Jin realm?"

Liang Guokun nodded calmly, "You haven't reached the level of internal strength, so you can't perceive the subtle details yet. However, if you examine him closely, you'll see that the major tendons in his legs are already fully connected. Only when the flow of qi and blood is unobstructed can one reach this state."
