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

For Chen Fengxiao, only disciples whose aptitude reaches the pinnacle can inherit his mantle.

This is precisely why Chen Fengxiao divided the martial arts school into inner and outer courtyards.

The inner courtyard is for disciples of the Dark Force realm, all of whom are individuals with excellent aptitude and perseverance, and are expected to reach the Transcendent Realm.

As for those disciples of the outer academy who possess excellent physical attributes and perseverance, they will receive special training as promising talents, with the aim of breaking through to the hidden strength realm and ultimately reaching the transcendent realm.

However, the disciples of the outer court who possess the Ming Jin skill only receive special training, and are not cultivated as potential successors.

So far, only one person has been cultivated as a potential successor in the outer courtyard: Ming Jun, a disciple at the peak of Dark Force!

Even the eldest disciple, Chen Feng, had never received such treatment.

If an outer court disciple with the Ming Jin skill is given the opportunity to be nurtured, even if they haven't reached the An Jin level, they will be granted the qualification to enter the inner court to study martial arts and enjoy the same food, medicine, and other benefits as an An Jin disciple.

The key point is that the inner court disciples can receive guidance from Chen Fengxiao, a master of the Transcendent Realm, at any time!

However, after Mingjun, no other outer court Mingjin disciple has ever received such treatment.

Chen Shishi knows her father very well.

Chu Yang's performance in demonstrating Tiger Roar Fist against Chen Feng was outstanding.

Although her father didn't say much at the time, she knew that he was very happy, but he just didn't show it.

Chen Fengxiao seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "We still need to observe for some time."

After a slight pause.

Chen Fengxiao said, "Chen Feng and Ming Jun are about to attempt to reach the Transcendent Realm, and Bai Changyuan from the outer courtyard is also about to attempt his second breakthrough. Please provide them with the necessary medicinal supplies from our martial arts school's medicine storehouse!"

Chen Shishi nodded: "Father, don't worry, I will arrange everything properly."

As a daughter, Chen Shishi knew that although her father usually didn't show his emotions and didn't talk about his concern for his students, he was never absent from his actions.

The martial arts training ground in the outer courtyard.

Chu Yang stood in front of the boxing stance, swinging his fists again and again.

Sweat streamed down his forehead, then his chin, and onto the ground. His back was also soaked with sweat.

Small areas on the ground were damp with sweat.

After Chen Fengxiao finished giving his instructions, it was just past 9 AM.

From 9:00 AM to 1:45 PM, Chu Yang practiced Tiger Roar Fist continuously.

After all, martial arts training is a very demanding physical and mental activity, and the weather is extremely hot these days. Therefore, the disciples in the outer courtyard need to rest after practicing for half an hour.

"This Junior Brother Chu is practicing martial arts quite diligently these days, but I wonder how long he can maintain this level?"

"It's probably all driven by passion! When we first reached the Ming Jin level and became official disciples of the martial arts school, didn't we also sweat like this every day?"

Several disciples who had entered the Ming Jin realm more than a year earlier couldn't help but discuss it during their break.

They seemed somewhat dazed when they said these words.

They have now been in the Ming Jin stage for a full year and a half, but they have only just reached the mid-stage of Ming Jin, the tendon-tempering stage.

However, during this period of tempering, they increasingly realized how difficult it was to advance in martial arts!

It has been difficult to complete the tendon tempering stage and enter the bone tempering stage!

The path of martial arts is difficult! What it requires is perseverance!

Practicing martial arts day after day can easily wear down that martial spirit!

Yes!

They used to be like Chu Yang... but now, they lack that drive, ambition, and diligence!

"This Junior Brother Chu stayed home for almost a year, and upon his return, he was already at the mid-stage of Ming Jin, and possessed a sixth-grade root bone. His starting point was indeed quite high!"

"However, there were several senior brothers who started at a similar level in Ming Jin! But they were also stopped at the An Jin stage..."

Of course, this is just some of the discussions among Ming Jin disciples.

Furthermore, those disciples who later joined the martial arts school but had not yet reached the Ming Jin level were inspired by Chu Yang's diligent practice and also diligently practiced the Fierce Tiger Stance.

Hu Suzhou, Bu Jianxi, and Liang Qingfeng started practicing Tiger Roar Fist at the same time as Chu Yang, but after only an hour, they also felt extremely tired and had to rest.

However, Chu Yang never stopped.

Hu Suzhou said in a low voice, "Doesn't Chu Yang ever get tired?"

Bu Jianxi picked up a cup of water and drank it all in one gulp: "I suppose the food Chu Yang ate at the Misty Rain Pavilion yesterday was all highly nourishing. That's why his qi and blood are so abundant today."

Therefore, this state may not last!

"After all, that level of supplements is beyond our means!"

Upon hearing Bu Jianxi's words, Liang Qingfeng and the others nodded in agreement.

Even a disciple with internal strength could probably not afford to consume such expensive nutritional supplements every day!

"Let's seize the time to cultivate!"

After Liang Qingfeng finished speaking, he leaped to a boxing stance and began practicing.

As for Chu Yang, he focused solely on cultivation.

All the surrounding chatter was irrelevant to him.

Guo Molin brought Chu Yang a large pot of water. Seeing that Chu Yang was cultivating, he did not disturb him. He quietly placed the water aside and then left to diligently cultivate himself.

Chu Yang stopped cultivating at noon.

In the morning, after nearly an hour and a half, he had already mastered the first two moves of the Tiger Roar Fist quite skillfully.

He checked the progress of the Tiger Roar Fist shown in the [Illustrated Compendium of Evolution].

Tiger Roar Fist (Beginner 58/500)

After practicing without stopping for an hour and a half, Tiger Roar Fist improved by eight points!

He planned to have lunch at the martial arts school cafeteria, practice briefly, and then continue practicing, making full use of the entire afternoon to try and improve by another fifteen points!

As for the evening, he planned to collect his own dose of the medicinal liquid and begin using it. That way, he could cultivate for another three hours until dawn, striving to increase his points by another fifteen!

That means you can increase your score by thirty points in a single day!

Based on this calculation, if one only practices Tiger Roar Fist, it would take about fifteen days to reach a minor level of proficiency.

Of course, he couldn't devote all his time to practicing Tiger Roar Fist; he also had to dedicate half of his training time to the Fierce Tiger Stance!

After all, the Fierce Tiger Stance is the internal energy cultivation method and the foundation of one's martial arts practice!

Previously, after Chu Yang broke through to the mid-stage of Ming Jin, he thought his cultivation speed would slow down.

However, now that he has sufficient food and medicine, he can once again make the most of all his time to cultivate and bring out the full potential of the [Heavenly Evolution Illustrated Manual].

In this way, the speed of cultivation increased dramatically once again!

"But even if we dedicate half our time to the Tiger Stance, it would probably take at least half a month to complete the tendon-tempering stage!"

"Next comes the bone-tempering stage of the later Ming Jin (manifest strength) period. Bone tempering requires force to penetrate the bone inch by inch; it's an absolute grind. Can I complete bone tempering in a month and a half and then break through to An Jin (hidden strength)?"

Chu Yang pondered to himself.

Two months later, Zhouping County will hold a martial arts examination.

The first prerequisite for the martial arts examination is that the martial artist must have reached the level of internal strength!

Otherwise, they would not be qualified to participate in the martial arts examination.

Chu Zhe is now at the peak of Ming Jin and is about to break through.

If Chu Zhe were to unlock the hidden strength and pass the martial arts examination, given his understanding of Chu Changnian's family, he would definitely turn against him.

After all, there was already the precedent of bandits plundering and pillaging. Chu Yang even suspected that they might take other actions in the coming days!

Improving our strength is of utmost urgency!
