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

Meng Wan and several other Ming Jin disciples also gathered around.

"Junior Brother Lin, don't rush, speak slowly!"

When they said this, they were actually quite solemn inside.

This junior brother Lin, as a Ming Jin disciple, was assigned to guard the Spirit Fish Pond.

Now, why is he rushing back in such a panic? Could it be that the Spirit Fish Pond has been attacked?!

Was it Liang Guokun who sent him back to request assistance?

If that's the case, then it's truly a time of great turmoil!

Thinking about all this, their hearts were heavy.

The junior disciple surnamed Lin said, "It's Senior Brothers Feng Zixian and Mengde!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dongliang, Meng Wan, and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At the very least, the problem isn't with the spirit fish pond.

Liu Dongliang asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Feng Zixian and Meng De?"

As disciples of the Inner Court specializing in internal energy cultivation, they naturally knew about Feng Zixian and Meng De's positions at the Wang Family Business.

Because the Wang family business had a batch of goods that needed to be delivered to Gaoqing County, Feng Zixian and Meng De also went along, which is why they did not participate in the Battle of Dingbotai.

The junior brother surnamed Lin said, "On my way back from the Spirit Fish Pond, I went to a nearby clinic to get medicine for my elderly father."

"As it turned out, we ran into these two senior brothers! In addition, there were several other officials from the Wang family business who were on temporary assignments."

"Senior Brother Feng and Senior Brother Meng are both unconscious. Senior Brother Feng's legs are broken, and Senior Brother Meng's sternum is completely fractured. His face is ashen, indicating he has been poisoned. The others are also seriously injured..."

After hearing this, Liu Dongliang, Meng Wan, and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

The other disciples were equally shocked.

Chu Yang was quite moved upon hearing this, never expecting that the two of them would have such an experience.

Their path in martial arts was thus completely severed. Even making a living through martial arts became extremely difficult.

Liu Dongliang paused for a moment, then said, "Don't tell Master about this yet!"

"Let's wait a few days before reporting to our master!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, the fact that both Senior Brother Chen Feng and Senior Brother Ming Jun failed to pass the challenge is already bad news.

The master was also busy treating the two of them.

Since things have come to this point, it wouldn't hurt for Feng Zixian and Meng De to tell their master a few days later.

Afterwards, everyone continued their practice.

However, these events have caused some people to become unstable in their mindset, while others have become even more diligent.

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yang also began to cultivate, focusing his energy on practicing the Fierce Tiger Stance and the Tiger Roar Fist.

With adequate supply of qi and blood tonics and proper dietary supplements, he practiced the Fierce Tiger Stance in the morning and devoted all his afternoon time to practicing the Tiger Roar Fist.

Tiger Stance (Minor Success 55/1000)

Tiger Roar Fist (Minor Success 286/1000)

After a day of practice, the Tiger Stance improved by 30 points, while the Tiger Roar Fist improved by 91 points.

The improvement is significant!

Of course, today Chu Yang consumed two full bottles of Qi and Blood Elixir, as well as two meals of spirit fish meat.

As for the breakfast he ate that morning, he planned to take it back for dinner.

The potency of the Qi and Blood Elixir is quite sufficient; it should be enough to sustain me for three hours of cultivation that evening!

However, after finishing his training for the day, Guo Molin still hadn't arrived at the martial arts school.

Chu Yang remembered that Guo Molin had not come to the martial arts school on the day of the Dingbotai battle and the day before.

This has been going on for three days now.

Based on Chu Yang's understanding of Guo Molin, this situation should not have occurred.

Although Guo Molin has poor physical constitution and is not particularly talented, he is truly obedient and diligent.

Since he had already paid the tuition fee, he was determined to study martial arts diligently and not let the money go to waste.

Moreover, it's not the time to plant or harvest grain now, so there shouldn't be anything else going on at Guo Molin's house.

Chu Yang shook off these thoughts and stopped thinking about them.

Tonight I'm going to Wang Zijie's house with Shen Junhao for a date.

"I'll go home tonight and talk to my mother to find out if she knows anything about any changes in Guo Molin's family."

With these thoughts in mind, Chu Yang walked out of the martial arts school.

As he was leaving the martial arts school, everyone inside greeted Chu Yang with great respect.

Now, Chu Yang is truly "Senior Brother Chu" in the eyes of all the disciples in the outer academy!

Even those who had entered the Mingjin realm earlier than Chu Yang, and who had even thought Chu Yang was utterly hopeless, would feel somewhat unwilling, but reality was what it was, and they could only accept it.

"Excuse me, is this Tiger Roar Martial Arts School?"

A middle-aged woman in tattered clothes asked cautiously.

Clearly, this woman was also illiterate.

Chu Yang looked closely and felt that it looked slightly familiar.

His eyebrows and eyes bear some resemblance to Guo Molin.

Lin Jinhua from Shitouwa Village? My mother's fellow villager?

Chu Yang nodded: "That's right, this is indeed the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. May I ask what brings you here?"

Now, Chu Yang has mastered martial arts, achieved internal strength, and possesses a profound and dignified demeanor, making him quite extraordinary.

Lin Jinhua felt timid and said in a low, respectful voice, "Young master, I'm here to see the master of the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. Is he in?"

Chu Yang said, "I am a disciple of the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. May I ask what brings you here, Auntie?"

Lin Jinhua quickly said, "Young master, my son's name is Guo Molin, and he is a disciple of your Tiger Roar Martial Arts School. We have some family matters to attend to, so we are temporarily not practicing martial arts."

As she spoke, Lin Jinhua's eyes were still moist, and she was rubbing her clothes vigorously with both hands.

Lin Jinhua continued, "I came to ask if we could get a refund for this month's tuition fee!"

Chu Yang was puzzled.

During this period, she had a lot of contact with Guo Molin, so she knew him quite well.

Guo Molin's family was somewhat poor, but he carefully calculated every penny, setting aside every penny for tuition and household expenses.

Moreover, Guo Molin's enthusiasm for martial arts clearly shows that he wants to find his own path in the art. He's not going to give up halfway!

Seeing the expression on Chu Yang's face, Lin Jinhua thought she had gone too far with her words.

She quickly said, flustered and trembling, "Young master, you must be a high-ranking figure in the martial arts school, right? I hope you can understand!"

"I know it's unreasonable for us to ask for a refund after we've already paid tuition. But it's only been a few days since the beginning of the month... We have an urgent family emergency that requires the money..."

"Young master, I'm kowtowing to you..."

Lin Jinhua wore an anxious and helpless expression, and her eyes were already starting to moisten.

To her, she was just a woman from the lowest rungs of society who had lost her husband.

They came to return their tuition fees, but they didn't know what obstacles they would encounter.

Now, she only hopes to gain Chu Yang's sympathy in order to get her tuition money back.

In her heart, her knees were the least valuable thing; she didn't care about kowtowing, even if she broke her head.

Chu Yang quickly pulled Lin Jinhua back: "Auntie, you mustn't do this. You're from the same hometown as my mother."

Lin Jinhua was somewhat stunned and puzzled after hearing this.

Clearly, Guo Molin did not tell Lin Jinhua about what was happening here.

Lin Jinhua carefully examined Chu Yang, but dared not become bold just because Chu Yang said he had an old relationship with Guo Molin.

"Young master, my old eyes are failing me; I don't recognize you at all."

Admittedly, Lin Jinhua today is completely different from how we remember her.

Apart from the unchanged eyebrows and eyes, his hair was completely white, his face was full of wrinkles, making him look like an old woman, and his figure was also somewhat hunched.

Chu Yang said, "Auntie, my name is Chu Yang. My maternal grandmother's home is in Shitouwa Village."

Chu Yang then gave a brief introduction.

After hearing this, Lin Jinhua's eyes also lit up with hope: "So it's Sister Lin's son, he's grown so big and tall..."

"Young master, could you please help me withdraw the tuition fee?"
