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

"Senior Brother Shen, you haven't gone back yet?"

Chu Yang also had a very good impression of Shen Junhao.

Shen Junhao's face showed a hint of worry: "The Dingbo Platform Tournament is in five days, so of course I have to give it my all. I want to try to unleash my full potential. Even if I lose, I can't lose too quickly or too badly!"

Shen Junhao knew that he didn't practice much in his daily life, and if it came down to actual combat, he was probably no match for the peak Ming Jin disciples from other martial arts schools.

Chu Yang said, "Senior Brother Shen, you are being too modest."

Shen Junhao shook his head and said, "I'm not being modest. I once fought Xu Shengzhi, a Ming Jin peak disciple from Canglang Martial Arts School. I reached the Ming Jin peak much earlier than him, but I only managed a draw with him."

When Chu Yang heard the name "Xu Shengzhi," a subtle glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He said calmly, "Xu Shengzhi? How does he rank among the peak Ming Jin disciples at Canglang Martial Arts School?"

Shen Junhao said, "Canglang Martial Arts School has eleven disciples who have reached the peak of Ming Jin. Xu Shengzhi would be ranked in the lower middle range."

Upon hearing Shen Junhao's words, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

The Canglang Martial Arts School is indeed more profound. It has gathered eleven disciples at the peak of Ming Jin!

Shen Junhao continued, "However, there's no need to worry about how to deal with Xu Shengzhi anymore. Because he's already dead."

As he spoke, Shen Junhao lowered his voice: "The news hasn't spread yet, but it's already confirmed. Xu Shengzhi got drunk at Cuihonglou and went into the wild boar pen there. He was eaten alive, his flesh and bones were shattered into pieces."

"It was only through the jade pendant he carried with him and the fragments of his clothing that we were able to confirm his identity."

Chu Yang said in a low voice, "Xu Shengzhi is dead just like that? What are the chances that he killed him?"

A smile appeared on Shen Junhao's face: "The flesh and blood have all been eaten, and the bones have been gnawed into dust. The coroner won't be able to find anything."

"Most importantly, the head of the Xu family is currently seriously ill, and the eldest son of the Xu family is in charge. The eldest son of the Xu family and Xu Shengzhi do not share the same mother, and there have been disputes over the family property. The eldest son of the Xu family therefore believes that Xu Shengzhi died from excessive indulgence in prostitution and drunkenness."

"The Xu family asked Cuihonglou for three thousand taels of silver as compensation, and that was the end of it."

After finishing his sentence, Shen Junhao said, "I never expected Xu Shengzhi to end his life in this way."

Chu Yang nodded: "This kind of ending is truly regrettable."

Shen Junhao said, "Alright, this news about the dead man has nothing to do with us. It's bad luck! Let's not talk about him anymore."

"Junior Brother Chu, you've truly improved dramatically in just a few days! You've already been admitted to the Inner Academy, breaking the usual requirements!"

"How about I throw a banquet to celebrate your occasion today?"

Chu Yang waved his hand: "Senior Brother Shen, let's leave this matter for now. We can celebrate after we achieve a good result in the Dingbo Platform Tournament."

Shen Junhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Junior Brother Chu, actually, the chances of our Tiger Roar Martial Arts School losing the Dingbo Platform battle are very high."

"Even a 100% failure."

"Because their opponents are all peak-level Ming Jin disciples, their strength and foundation are far superior to our Ming Jin disciples. This cannot be denied!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang fell silent for a moment.

Tiger Roar Martial Arts Academy must participate in the Dingbotai Arena Tournament, even if they lose. However, they cannot lose without a fight, and they cannot lose too badly!

This is where Tiger Roar Martial Arts School's reputation lies!

He understood that.

Shen Junhao said, "Junior Brother Chu, when that day comes, if you really need to go on stage, and you can't win, then admit defeat immediately."

"Never give the other party too many chances. If you don't have time to admit defeat and they retaliate ruthlessly, you'll regret it."

"As for fighting them to the death to claim the honor of our Tiger Roar Martial Arts School, we, the senior brothers, will be there to lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang was startled.

Normally, you might not notice anything.

But now that things have come to a head, the cohesion of Tiger Roar Martial Arts School has been demonstrated.

This is naturally related to Chen Fengxiao.

Chu Yang said, "I have remembered Senior Brother Shen's advice. But if Chu Yang needs my help, Chu Yang will certainly do my best!"

Shen Junhao patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and said, "Chu Yang, I'll head back now."

Chu Yang also knew that Shen Junhao's concubine was trying to save her pregnancy and was in a rather dangerous situation, so he naturally went home to check on her.

After Shen Junhao left, Guo Molin quickly came up to him.

His face was full of excitement.

"Senior Brother Chu Yang!"

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Why are so many people cultivating today?"

Besides Shen Junhao and a few other Ming Jin disciples, there were also some martial arts apprentices who had not yet reached the Ming Jin level.

Guo Molin said, "Senior Brother Chu Yang, isn't this all because of you!"

"Because you've been working diligently and without stopping, they've all been motivated as well."

Chu Yang smiled slightly but remained silent.

Then, Chu Yang asked, "Mo Lin, how's your Tiger Stance training going?"

Guo Molin immediately explained the situation and gave Chu Yang a demonstration.

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Well done. But when you're practicing the Tiger Stance, you need to pay attention to coordinating your breathing..."

Immediately, Chu Yang gave Guo Molin some more guidance.

Guo Molin took notes very seriously.

In Chu Yang's memory, although Guo Molin's aptitude wasn't particularly good, he was extremely obedient. He completely adhered to the techniques Chu Yang had taught him, cultivating according to them without fail.

Then, Chu Yang went home.

I just got home.

Chu Yang discovered that a large group of people had come to the courtyard, all of whom were villagers from the village.

"Xiaoyang, you're here!"

"Chu Yang!"

The elders and peers in the village all stood up to greet Chu Yang, their eyes filled with a rare sense of awe.

Since Chu Yang killed two bandits last time, these villagers have all witnessed Chu Yang's prowess and now treat him with great respect.

Chu Yang glanced at Lin Shi, who said, "Xiao Yang, your uncles and elders all hope that you can lead the villagers to form a patrol team to deter those bandits..."

Upon hearing Lin speak, the villagers also joined in.

"Yes, Xiaoyang, the world is getting more and more chaotic. Not only are bandits coming to collect settlement fees, but those out-of-town bandits are also constantly trying to take advantage of us. We can't afford it!"

"Xiao Yang, now that you're a martial artist, you can't abandon us!"

"Xiao Yang, when you first went to learn martial arts, I knew you were a promising talent..."

At this point, the villagers had many different opinions.

Of course, without exception, they all hoped that Chu Yang would take the lead in establishing a patrol team.
