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

Chu Yang had already mastered the Xuan Tie Body Technique to a minor level, so he naturally had some knowledge of other body-strengthening techniques of the same level.

He could tell that the Iron Armor Protection Technique and the Profound Iron Body Technique each had their own strengths!

For example, the Xuan Tie Body Technique mainly cultivates the skin and membranes of the body to resemble Xuan Tie, protecting the tendons, bones, and other parts of the body, but it is somewhat lacking in protecting the internal organs.

This Iron Armor Protection Technique can mobilize a portion of the Qi and blood to protect the internal organs. While it also protects the physical body, meridians, and bones, it is not as refined as the Profound Iron Body Technique.

"If I were to master this Iron Armor Protection Technique, I could forge my body into an impenetrable defense!"

Chu Yang thought to himself.

Right now.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[Illustrated Guide to Evolution]

Included martial arts technique: Iron Armor Protection Technique (Beginner 1/500)

Clearly, the fact that the Heavenly Evolution Illustrated Manual included it proves that it is complete and cultivateable. And just as Chu Yang expected, the entry-level Iron Armor Protection Technique requires 500 points, just like the Profound Iron Body Technique, indicating that they are techniques of the same level.

Furthermore, because he had cultivated a technique similar to the Xuan Tie Body Technique, he had already completed all the basic tempering processes, so he had directly mastered the Iron Armor Protection Technique!

Master Chen Fengxiao really cares about his disciple!

Chu Yang bowed to Chen Fengxiao and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. Then I will accept this cultivation technique."

Seeing Chu Yang's magnanimity, Chen Fengxiao was even more pleased.

"Take it. However, you must distinguish between primary and secondary skills. You should still focus on the Fierce Tiger Stance. This is the key to the strength of all martial arts. Without strong internal energy, all techniques are just illusions."

Chu Yang himself thought so too, and now that Chen Fengxiao said the same thing, it proves that his thinking was correct.

Chen Fengxiao added, "Although you are currently at the Ming Jin level, your potential is quite high. You will enter the inner courtyard to study martial arts and enjoy all the benefits of an An Jin disciple."

When Chu Yang visited Shen Junhao's residence last time, Shen Junhao told him a lot of things, including the treatment of disciples with hidden strength.

The inner courtyard disciples of Tiger Roar Martial Arts School, specializing in Dark Force, receive twelve doses of medicinal liquid and two dietary supplements every month! Crucially, their monthly tuition fees have also been cancelled.

Of course, the inner courtyard disciples with hidden strength also have some obligations.

Those are some of the businesses that support the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School!

Tiger Roar Martial Arts Academy can't possibly support so many martial artists by relying on the tuition fees of its disciples! After all, Chu Yang knew that the tuition fees he paid were simply not enough to cover the cost of the medicine the academy gave him!

Tiger Roar Martial Arts School also owns some farmland, real estate, and mineral resources, and even some industries in cooperation with certain families.

The profits from these industries then cover all the expenses of the martial arts school.

And the disciples of the Dark Force Sect naturally have an unshirkable responsibility to protect these industries.

These internal strength disciples sometimes hold positions in other families or businesses. However, their priority is always meeting the needs of the martial arts school!

Those disciples with the Ming Jin skill level will also hold official positions. However, martial arts schools generally do not force them to prioritize the school's interests; such requirements only arise in cases of significant importance.

Now that I'm a disciple of the Dark Force realm, I've saved on my monthly tuition and can also afford four bottles of medicinal liquid every month! My dietary supplements have also increased!

Now that Chu Yang is becoming stronger and stronger through cultivation, his need for medicinal and dietary supplements is increasing!

Just as Chu Yang was about to express his gratitude to his master, Chen Fengxiao spoke up again.

"Chu Yang, this is a pill used to strengthen the physical body and aid in body tempering. I'm giving it to you!"

As he spoke, Chen Fengxiao took out a small box, opened it, and inside lay a pitch-black pill.

The pill had a very smooth surface with a slight texture, and a faint medicinal fragrance emanated from it.

Chen Shishi's eyes widened, and she said, "Father, isn't this the Body Tempering Pill you obtained from the sect?"

A few days ago, Chen Shishi went to the prefectural city to take care of some things, including retrieving the Body Tempering Pill for her father.

She knew perfectly well that her father had also practiced physical training, but had been struggling to make significant progress.

Moreover, my father has been in the Transcendent Realm for many years, and now, with his advancing age, his vital energy and blood are beginning to decline. To advance further seems like an insurmountable chasm.

Therefore, the father, as a second-best option, wanted to maintain his qi and blood by improving his physical strength through external training.

However, physical training requires the youngest age and the most vigorous blood and energy. It is no longer possible for him to break through by relying solely on his own cultivation and ordinary medicinal supplements.

Therefore, Chen Fengxiao came up with the idea of ​​using elixirs for a powerful tonic.

Then he went to a friend and asked the sect for a pill.

The efficacy of elixirs is more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary pills and liquids, and their absorption efficiency is also higher.

The value of a single pill is quite high.

It not only cost a huge sum of money, but it was also obtained by owing favors.

She never expected that her father would give the pill to Chu Yang at this moment.

Chu Yang gleaned a lot of information from Chen Shishi's words.

For example, Chen Fengxiao really is from the prefectural city! And he seems to be related to some sect!

Chen Fengxiao himself had also practiced the Iron Armor Protection Technique, so his request for this Body Tempering Pill was certainly to enhance the Iron Armor Protection Technique and thus improve his overall combat strength!

Chen Fengxiao nodded to Chen Shishi and said, "That's right, it is that pill."

"However, compared to Chu Yang, this pill will have a better effect on him."

Chu Yang said, "Master, you also need this pill..."

Chen Fengxiao waved his hand and said, "Chu Yang, there's no need to refuse me. If I tell you to accept it, then accept it."

Having said that, Chu Yang took a deep breath and accepted the pill with both hands: "Thank you, Master."

When Chen Fengxiao saw Chu Yang accept the pill, his face showed a deep sense of relief and expectation.

"This pill has a potent effect; be very careful when taking it!"

"If you need my help, just let me know."

These words carry considerable weight!

After taking his leave of the study, Chu Yang stayed in the inner courtyard to continue his studies.

In the study.

Now only Chen Fengxiao and Chen Shishi remain.

Chen Shishi wanted to speak, but stopped herself again and again.

Chen Fengxiao said, "Shishi, just say what you want to say. There's no need to hold back with your father."

Chen Shishi nodded: "Father, we are destined to lose this time at the Dingbo Arena. Since Chu Yang has such martial arts talent, if we let him compete, the opponent might take advantage of the situation and damage Chu Yang's martial arts foundation..."

At this point, Chen Shishi paused slightly.

Chen Fengxiao nodded, his eyes filled with a wise insight that seemed to see through everything.

"In order to suppress our Tiger Roar Martial Arts School, they might even cripple Chu Yang, or even 'accidentally' kill him!"

"But I can't just interrupt his good intentions."

"Let him accompany us as a backup. As long as he doesn't participate, it'll allow him to observe up close and witness the prowess of other martial arts disciples from Zhouping County!"
