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

Every martial arts student who joins the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School is provided with a meal.

They even provide dormitory-style accommodations for those who live far away or are poor martial artists.

Previously, Chu Yang had only been a member of the martial arts school for a few days and would eat there.

In the days that followed, he was often summoned by Feng Zixian and Meng De to teahouses and taverns outside.

"My predecessor was such an idiot, wasting so much money... How can I get these two to give it back to me?"

Chu Yang thought to himself.

Soon, Chu Yang arrived at the martial arts school's canteen.

Many disciples received their meals and went to their respective lodgings on their own.

Chu Yang didn't bring any bedding and had never lived here before, so he could only eat in the canteen.

After receiving his meal, he discovered that the food for a Ming Jin martial artist was indeed different from that of an ordinary martial arts apprentice.

An ordinary martial arts apprentice's meal consists of plain rice, two servings of stir-fried dishes, and a bowl of porridge. The stir-fried dishes may include a few slices of meat.

In addition to the meals provided to ordinary martial artists, the meals of Ming Jin martial artists also include two very thick slices of meat.

At first glance, these two thick slices of meat look very tender, and the aroma they exude is extremely refreshing.

Having not been to the martial arts school for a long time, Chu Yang was not familiar with his fellow students, so he had to find a separate seat to sit down.

"Um?"

Now that Chu Yang has entered the mid-stage of Ming Jin, his senses have improved significantly, and he sensed that someone was watching him.

He suddenly looked up and noticed a plainly dressed boy in a corner who was secretly glancing at him. After noticing him looking at him, the boy quickly lowered his head and started eating.

Chu Yang did have a recollection of that young man. When he participated in the assessment before, that young man was among the martial arts apprentices watching. The group of people standing there should be the new martial arts apprentices who had just joined the martial arts school last month.

"They're probably just curious about me!"

Chu Yang understood this mentality.

When he first joined the martial arts school, he was filled with awe and curiosity when he saw those Ming Jin disciples.

Afterwards, Chu Yang began to eat.

The food at the martial arts school's canteen was quite good; the dishes smelled delicious.

Chu Yang first ate some rice and stir-fried dishes, then picked up a thick slice of meat and took a bite.

The moment the taste touched his taste buds, Chu Yang couldn't help but shudder.

The meat looked thick, but once you tasted it, it was surprisingly soft and not greasy at all, like skin cream, and it also had a very special aroma. The broth and meat, with their fragrance and warmth, quickly transformed into a warm current that filled your entire body.

The key point is that none of the rice and stir-fries with meat slices he had eaten before could satisfy his hunger as well as this thick piece of meat.

Then, he picked up another thick slice of meat, put it in his mouth, and it was still delicious. The food quickly turned into a warm current that seeped into his whole body.

He felt a sense of fullness, and the fatigue in his body also seemed to have dissipated considerably.

"What kind of meat is this? It's neither fish nor meat, yet its effects are extraordinary... If one could consume this kind of meat regularly, it would be even more effective than beef!"

Chu Yang pondered to himself.

Soon, three figures walked over.

"Chu Yang!"

The three people who arrived were Liang Qingfeng and his companion.

Chu Yang nodded slightly: "The food for Ming Jin martial artists is indeed extraordinary."

Liang Qingfeng said, "Since you left early, Senior Brother Chen Feng told us about the meals. Do you know what those two thick slices of meat in the Ming Jin martial arts are?"

Chu Yang said, "I would like to hear the details."

Liang Qingfeng said, "This is the meat of a spirit fish. It contains a trace of spiritual energy, and its ability to replenish qi and blood far surpasses that of ordinary meat."

"My senior brother said that besides spirit fish meat, there are many other high-quality demon beast meats, all of which are extremely valuable to martial artists. However, they are all too expensive. Even martial artists like my senior brother who are at the Inner Strength level probably cannot consume them regularly."

Another square-faced man, named Hu Suzhou, also remarked with deep emotion, "The value of just two pieces of spirit fish meat is enough to feed our family of six for a day!"

The man sitting on the other side, named Bu Jianxi, also sighed deeply: "We also need to hurry up and find temporary jobs to increase our income in order to make up for these ever-increasing expenses!"

After saying that, Bu Jianxi couldn't hide the envy in his eyes for Chu Yang: "Chu Yang, you've saved us a lot of money. You have four more doses of medicine than us!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Qingfeng and Hu Suzhou could not hide their envy.

After entering the Ming Jin stage, one must temper the blood, tendons, and bones. In addition to dietary supplements, the effects will be even better if medicinal soups are used as an aid.

During the blood tempering stage, four doses of herbal medicine might be sufficient. However, by the time they reach the tendon tempering stage, it becomes a struggle, and by the bone tempering stage in the later stages of Ming Jin, the actual amount of herbal medicine needed each month will be much greater.

However, the martial arts school will not increase the four doses of medicine prescribed to Ming Jin martial artists.

Firstly, it will increase the burden on the martial arts school. Secondly, it will encourage the disciples to work harder and avoid them becoming complacent, thus creating intrinsic motivation.

Chu Yang said, "I was just lucky."

He paused slightly.

"Has our senior brother explained anything about martial arts to you yet?"

Hearing Chu Yang's words, Bu Jianxi shook his head: "Master Chen and Senior Brother value you the most. If you're not here, they won't tell us these crucial details."

As he spoke, Bu Jianxi looked at Hu Suzhou and Liang Qingfeng: "Right?"

Liang Qingfeng nodded: "They mainly talked to us about things like meals."

Hu Suzhou nodded silently.

With his wisdom honed over two lifetimes, Chu Yang could naturally see through the unease in their eyes.

However, one should see through things but not say them outright.

The relationship was not good to begin with.

Moreover, these three probably see me as their competitor, fearing that I will continue to overshadow their brilliance.

We should also understand their little schemes.

Moreover, such petty thoughts cannot stop oneself.

Chu Yang had finished his meal and, after sitting for a while, returned to the martial arts training ground in the outer courtyard.

At this moment, most of the disciples were already resting.

The vast martial arts training ground was completely deserted.

Chu Yang felt full of energy at this moment, and immediately stood on the Tiger Stance, assumed the posture, and began to practice.

However, this time Chu Yang does not intend to spend all his time practicing the Fierce Tiger Stance.

So, about an hour later.

Chu Yang then finished practicing the Tiger Stance, rested for a short while, and then went to the fist stance.

He held his breath and a flash of inspiration struck him.

The entire Tiger Roar Fist Technique appeared in his mind, as if it were forever imprinted there.

He slightly bent his knees, moved his left leg forward half a step, spread one arm out, and turned his hands into claws. This was the first move of Tiger Roar Fist, Fierce Tiger Descending from the Mountain!

However, at this moment he was exactly following the demonstration by his senior brother Chen Feng, plus the figure he had memorized from flipping through the Tiger Roar Fist manual.

At that very moment, the [Heavenly Evolution Illustrated Manual] displayed a phantom image beginning to practice the first move of the Tiger Roar Fist, which overlapped with Chu Yang's figure.

Just as Chu Yang was completely immersed in practicing the Tiger Roar Fist and was in a state of complete absorption in the world around him...

A figure appeared in the distance, with a strange look in his eyes.
