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

Chen Shishi stood to the side, and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise when she heard Chu Yang's confident reply.

As Chen Fengxiao's only daughter, she was well aware of the hardships her father had endured in practicing the Iron Armor Protection Technique.

When my father first began practicing the Iron Armor Protection Technique, he had already reached the Transcendent Realm.

A master of the Transcendent Realm understands everything; if they want to cultivate other techniques, they can naturally set their sights higher and cultivate faster.

Even so, it took my father more than a month to figure it out.

But Chu Yang... it's only been a few days?!

Chen Shishi looked at Chu Yang, her heart filled with turmoil.

"This junior brother is calm and composed, unassuming, and has a firm gaze... which gives people a sense of security."

At this moment, Chen Fengxiao exclaimed, "Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Afterwards, Chen Fengxiao talked to Chu Yang about some key points of cultivating the Iron Armor Protection Technique.

After all, Chen Fengxiao considered himself to have reached the minor completion stage and was also a Grandmaster of the Transcendent Realm. His vision was ultimately higher than Chu Yang's, so he did not want Chu Yang to take detours and tried his best to give Chu Yang some guidance.

In fact, little did he know that Chu Yang had already cultivated the Iron Armor Protection Technique to the minor completion stage!

Moreover, Chu Yang usually has the Heavenly Evolution Diagram at hand, which allows him to observe the cultivation methods of the perfect state of the technique at any time. He also cultivates in a way that is completely in line with the perfect state, and he has already gained his own true insights into the cultivation essentials of the Iron Armor Protection Technique.

However, Chu Yang also knew that Chen Fengxiao meant well, so he listened attentively.

Chu Yang asked, "Master, what is your opinion regarding the evil-suppressing guard that the county government wants to establish?"

Chen Fengxiao was quite pleased to hear that Chu Yang was asking him about such a matter.

Chen Fengxiao said, "You can sign up as you like. Regardless of the rewards of the growth-promoting pills, growth-promoting elixirs, and even silver, just being able to participate in actual combat is of great benefit to those who cultivate martial arts."

"After all, we cultivate martial arts not for physical fitness! But to kill! To achieve immortality! To control our own destiny!"

Murder! Immortality! Taking control of one's own destiny!

These words exploded in Chu Yang's mind like a bolt of lightning.

After a slight pause, Chen Fengxiao said, "Alright, you should go back and get some rest too."

After Chu Yang bid farewell to Chen Fengxiao and left, only Chen Fengxiao and Chen Shishi remained in the study.

The fragrance of sandalwood wafts through the openwork and straight patterns of the screen.

Chen Shishi said, "I really didn't expect Chu Yang to rise to the top so suddenly, with such accumulated strength! I even suspect that he was hiding his true abilities before!"

Chen Fengxiao smiled, his brows relaxed, and the gloom of the past few days vanished.

"Shishi, Chu Yang is very outstanding, isn't he? What would you say if I arranged for you to marry him?"

When Chen Fengxiao said these words, he was not joking, but rather after careful consideration.

Chen Shishi is two years older than Chu Yang, so their ages are very close.

After getting to know and observe Chu Yang, Chen Fengxiao concluded that Chu Yang was a steady and loyal person, and he would feel at ease entrusting his daughter to him.

Chen Shishi's face immediately turned bright red: "Father, don't try to play matchmaker! I have no feelings for Junior Brother Chu."

With that, Chen Shishi ran out of the study.

Watching Chen Shishi run away, Chen Fengxiao shook his head with a smile.

"Silly girl, when you fall for a guy, it starts with investigating his past and being curious about everything about him..."

……

As they emerged from the inner courtyard, the disciples of the outer courtyard were still filled with excitement.

The battle at Dingbo Terrace directly boosted the reputation of Tiger Roar Martial Arts School to an unprecedented level!

In fact, several people have already come to inquire about becoming his apprentices.

Several senior disciples from the inner court have already responded and arranged a time for suitable individuals to come for bone analysis and assessment.

The disciples of the outer academy were also filled with a sense of pride.

"Back then, my parents wanted me to study at the Zhenjiang martial arts school, but now it seems that the stance training and Tiger Roar Fist techniques of my Tiger Roar Martial Arts School are even better!"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, although Master Chen is not very talkative and doesn't have much contact with us, he is always doing various things to improve our martial arts."

"Like a spring breeze and gentle rain, it nourishes all things silently."

Seeing Chu Yang come out, Shen Junhao said, "Junior Brother Chu Yang, I think I should call you Senior Brother from now on. Haha!"

Chu Yang said, "Senior Brother Shen, please stop joking with me."

Shen Junhao said, "Chu Yang, Wang Zijie just sent me a message saying he hopes to host a banquet for us. What do you think?"

Chu Yang said, "Of course, but I have something to do in three days. How about tomorrow or the day after?"

Shen Junhao said, "Then tomorrow. I will go to the Wang family with you then."

"The Wang family's private chef is the same chef at the Misty Rain Pavilion! You're in for a delicious meal!"

Chu Yang was slightly taken aback, realizing that the Wang family must be behind the Misty Rain Pavilion.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two brothers went their separate ways.

Shen Junhao was quite moved.

Others may not know much about Wang Zijie, but he is also the eldest son of a prominent family in Zhouping County, so he knows a bit about him.

Only those who could gain a deep understanding of his vision were invited to the inner quarters of the Wang family.

The rest of the people were simply arranged to stay at the restaurant.

"Junior Brother Chu Yang is truly amazing! Even I got to accompany him to the Wang family's inner quarters to enjoy a sumptuous meal!"

After sighing, Shen Junhao didn't dare to hesitate and immediately sent someone to prepare a reply to Wang Zijie.

At this time, the Lin family in Dongcheng.

Inside the main room of the Lin family's house.

Lin Yuanshan and Guo Huaishui of the Amber Trading Company sat on opposite sides of the large octagonal table.

The aroma of tea wafts through the air.

"Patriarch Lin, you were truly farsighted!"

Guo Huaishui said with a touch of emotion.

When Guo Huaishui was about to visit Chu Yang, he actually felt it was unnecessary. He thought that they were people of status, while Chu Yang was just a Ming Jin martial artist. He didn't need to go to Chu Yang's house in person. He could simply send someone to invite Chu Yang to a restaurant to express his feelings.

But Lin Yuanshan felt that he had to visit Chu Yang's home to show his sincerity and make Chu Yang remember him better.

Guo Huaishui and Lin Yuanshan were longtime friends, so he agreed to Lin Yuanshan's request and went with him to visit Chu Yang's home.

As a result, just one day after the visit, Chu Yang displayed his formidable power on the Dingbo Platform.

It is now being spread that Chu Yang is the number one Ming Jin disciple among all the major martial arts schools.

Lin Yuanshan said, "It's a pity we couldn't recruit Chu Yang to be a nominal retainer of the Lin family!"

Although his face showed regret, he couldn't help but smile when he thought about his last investment.

Moreover, Shen Junhao was originally from the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School, and had a natural brotherhood with Chu Yang. Being close to him, it was hard to avoid the situation.

The key point is that the Lin family of Dongcheng has some cooperative dealings with the Shen family and is quite familiar with the Shen family's character. Even Lin Yuanshan highly regards the Shen family, so it's not surprising that Chu Yang chose the Shen family.

Chu Yang returned to the village, and things were quite peaceful.

The villagers were isolated and unaware of what was happening in the city.

Chu Yang bought half a pig and brought it home, asking his mother, Lin, to stew it.

After the meal, Chu Yang chatted with Madam Lin for a while longer.

Lin said that there have been fewer bandits recently, but many villagers are complaining about the Flying Eagle Gang coming down to collect resettlement fees.

After their conversation, Chu Yang drank a bottle of Qi and Blood Tonic and prepared to go to the backyard to practice the Fierce Tiger Stance.

To everyone's surprise, three people arrived outside.

"Excuse me, is this Chu Yang's house?"

The visitor spoke very politely.

But it was none other than Wei Yixiao, one of the three hall masters of the Flying Eagle Gang!
