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

The man addressed as Senior Brother Feng, with a thin, long face and deep-set eyes, was named Feng Zixian. He was a veteran disciple who had been a Mingjin disciple for five years.

The man addressed as Senior Brother Meng had a slightly round face and a cheerful expression, seemingly very approachable. His name was Meng De, and he was a veteran disciple who had been a Ming Jin disciple for five and a half years.

Feng Zixian and Meng De returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "Fellow disciples, you will surely pass the test today and become official disciples of our Tiger Roar Martial Arts School!"

"Even if it doesn't work out, they'll still be people who came from our Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. If you need anything, just tell us! As your senior brothers, we'll definitely do our best to help you! Let's uphold the prestige of Tiger Roar Martial Arts School!"

Upon hearing this, some martial arts school disciples said, "We are extremely fortunate to have received such words from Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Meng!"

Those disciples who had recently joined the martial arts school had excitement in their eyes.

After all, it's really great to join such a martial arts school and have such a warm and righteous senior brother.

Soon, the two arrived in front of Chu Yang.

"Junior Brother Chu, it's so good to see you back!"

"Junior Brother Chu, come this way!"

As they spoke, Feng Zixian and Meng De warmly pulled Chu Yang to the side.

For the other disciples, Feng Zixian and Meng De's words expressed their joy that Chu Yang was able to return to the martial arts school.

However, only Chu Yang knew that the "come back" these two were referring to had a hidden meaning.

Back then, Chu Yang hung out with these two and thought they were very loyal, but in reality, they spent all their money on food and drink.

Moreover, when Chu Yang was hanging out with these two, he met Wang Yunting, the daughter of the Wang family business, at a party they arranged, and fell very fond of her.

The two then told Chu Yang about Wang Yunting's hobbies and interests, and invited her out on several occasions.

On that occasion, the two told Chu Yang that Wang Yunting needed a flower for beauty and skincare, but they couldn't find it anywhere. Fortunately, it grew in a nearby mountain, though the terrain was treacherous and quite dangerous. However, if they could pick it for her and give it to her, it would better demonstrate their sincerity and win her heart.

In fact, that flower also has the effect of relaxing muscles and bones, which is of great use to Feng Zixian and Meng De.

However, that place is infested with poisonous bees, posing a great threat to Ming Jin martial artists.

However, under the influence of these two, Chu Yang actually risked his life. Although he did not encounter any poisonous bees, he accidentally lost his footing and tumbled off the cliff.

Fortunately, several sprawling branches acted as a buffer after his fall, preventing Chu Yang from being smashed to pieces. However, his original body lost its life in fear, which allowed him to merge with the wisdom of his two lifetimes.

After awakening, Chu Yang rested at the bottom of the cliff for two full days before he recovered.

For two days, these two so-called benevolent senior brothers did not come to the bottom of the cliff to look for him at all.

Having awakened the wisdom of his two lifetimes, Chu Yang returned home to focus on martial arts training and also increased his agricultural income to earn wealth.

Because these disciples who had not yet reached the Ming Jin level were subject to fewer restrictions from the martial arts school, and ordinary disciples were not valued, and Chu Yang had only been in the martial arts school for a short time, his relationship with the other disciples was also shallow, and few people knew his address.

Therefore, for such a long time, no one has come looking for them. This includes the instigators, Feng Zixian and Meng De.

Meng De held Chu Yang's arm, his face full of concern and relief.

"Junior Brother Chu, we've been searching for you for ages since you fell off the cliff, but we couldn't find you anywhere. We thought you were injured and carried off by wild animals..."

"We are so relieved to see you safe and sound!"

Feng Zixian then spoke up, "Junior Brother Chu, what happened after you fell off the cliff? Why haven't we been able to find you?"

Chu Yang looked at the two men's hypocritical faces but did not expose them.

Chu Yang said, "Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Meng, to be honest, after I fell, I was in a daze. Then I felt something pick me up, and then I lost consciousness."

"When I woke up, I was in a cave deep in the mountain. I found myself covered in scrapes and bruises, and one of my legs was broken, so I quickly fled the place and returned home to recuperate."

A look of suspicion appeared on Feng Zixian's face: "Falling off a cliff hundreds of meters high and still not dead... Oh, I mean, Junior Brother Chu is truly a person of great fortune."

Meng De pondered for a moment and said, "It must be some branches on the cliff that slowed down the descent, which is why Junior Brother Chu was not killed by the fall."

"As for what carried away Junior Brother Chu... could the legendary monster really be real?"

Chu Yang's heart stirred. He had only spoken casually, and he hadn't expected there to be a hidden secret in this mountain range.

"Senior Brother Meng, what kind of monster?"

Meng De said, "There was a rumor that there was a fierce tiger in that mountain range. The tiger was very strong. Many years ago, two Grandmasters of the Transcendent Realm tried to capture it to make medicine, but they ended up being seriously injured. The tiger was only slashed twice before it escaped and hid deep in the mountains."

Upon hearing Meng De mention this matter, a solemn look appeared in Feng Zixian's eyes.

Masters at the Transcendent Realm are extremely rare in the entire Zhouping County.

A tiger capable of severely injuring two Grandmasters of the Transcendent Realm and still managing to escape demonstrates its undeniable strength.

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang thought to himself, "Those two old bastards! Why didn't they say so earlier!"

However, he remained calm: "So the place where my two senior brothers took me to pick those flowers was actually so dangerous..."

Feng Zixian and Meng De suddenly came to their senses.

Feng Zixian said, "Junior Brother Chu, please don't misunderstand us. We just said it's a legend... which means we have no way of verifying it. During this time, many other people have gone to that mountain range to collect medicinal herbs, but none of them have encountered that monster."

Meng De nodded in agreement: "No matter what, Junior Brother Chu is incredibly lucky!"

"However... Junior Brother Chu, you must not mention this to outsiders. You can only say that you have been staying at home for more than ten months because of family matters."

Chu Yang looked puzzled.

Feng Zixian said, "If Master knew that you risked your life and got injured while pursuing Miss Wang Yunting, and then didn't come to the martial arts school for more than ten months, he would definitely expel you from the school..."

Meng De nodded and said, "Your senior brother Feng and I greatly admire your character. We intend to vouch for you and let you stay at the martial arts school as a handyman. In this way, you can still study at the school while doing handyman work, and you can also make connections with us."

"As you know, the current situation in the Great Liang Dynasty... Only by becoming a martial artist can one have a voice! If you are not a martial artist, you should make more friends with martial artists, which is also a good way to survive."

Meng De, with the air of a kind and trusting elder brother, paused after saying these words, as if waiting for Chu Yang to express his gratitude.
