Martial Arts Awakening, Bloodfire Fist Master

The eldest sister was indeed shocked, and even suspected that the sixth brother was joking with her on purpose.

She quickly remembered the person behind her sixth junior brother; he was the one her sixth junior brother had mentioned earlier who had exceptional comprehension. Moreover, when this person first entered the sect, she happened to be in the mood to instruct her disciples and had even felt his bones; he was just an ordinary, mediocre person.

Thinking back on the timeline, this person had only been at the martial arts school for about two months.

He frowned:

"Even that person with superior unusual bones back then didn't grow at this rate!"

The sixth senior brother was stunned for a moment.

"Senior Sister, you're talking about our former senior brother, right? He was born with superhuman strength and incredibly powerful bones. He could defeat martial artists even as a mortal. His physique was even stronger than Wang Zhi's. It's a pity he made a different choice. Otherwise, even if our second senior brother had an accident, no one in our Qinghe Martial Arts School would dare to underestimate us."

Then, with a strange expression, she said, "Senior Sister, it is precisely because even the former Senior Brother is not as good as him that it proves Junior Brother Zhang's talent is extraordinary."

The senior sister stopped talking, and with a few steps, she appeared in front of Zhang Qingshan like a phantom.

"Use hidden force to attack me!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, go ahead and fight. Senior Sister doesn't believe you've reached the Dark Force realm so quickly. Don't worry, Senior Sister's skin is as tough as iron. Even if you condense your Dark Force into a powerful force, it won't be able to penetrate Senior Sister's skin and harm her internal organs." Seeing Zhang Qingshan hesitate, the sixth senior brother explained.

Since that's the case, Zhang Qingshan's eyes narrowed.

A punch is thrown out with a powerful and forceful stance. Not only does the physical force precede the internal force, but the hidden force follows, creating a double attack. This stance makes the hidden force even more ferocious.

Since the senior sister was a woman, Zhang Qingshan hit her on the shoulder to avoid suspicion.

Ouch!

It sounded like a great bell being struck, making a loud noise, or like striking a giant drum, the power being absorbed by the ripples.

Zhang Qingshan's eyes widened in shock. Not only did his senior sister not retreat an inch, but her body didn't even sway.

This is the force of two thousand catties plus the burst of hidden power.

He only felt that his fist struck something elastic yet incredibly tough. Whether it was hard force or hidden force, it was blocked on the surface of the opponent's body and then worn down by some kind of imperceptible vibration. In the end, apart from a little sound, there was no other result.

It's like a surging wave being blocked by an endless coastline.

A sense of powerlessness quietly began to grow.

The slight sense of pride that arose from becoming a level six martial artist vanished instantly.

This is the ultimate martial artist, the ultimate secret technique, the ultimate physical body?

Indeed, it is frightening and terrifying. If you only look at the appearance, it is no different from ordinary people's skin, and it seems to be more delicate and elastic.

However, in reality, it has already gone beyond the normal concept of flesh and blood.

The eldest sister's eyes lit up.

"It is indeed dark energy, and it is not weak among dark energy types."

The next moment, long arms began to caress and knead his body with a speed that Zhang Qingshan could not dodge.

At the same time, there is also a tiny, subtle force moving within it.

"That's not right. It's still just ordinary, with no special vitality or spiritual energy hidden within."

The eldest sister grew increasingly puzzled. "Could it be that this bone-reading method is inaccurate? Or do you possess some hidden talent?"

He shook his head and laughed, "No matter what, strength cannot be faked, and it is the most important thing. Come on, let's go see my father. Hmph, who said that my Qinghe Martial Arts School has declined? Two geniuses have emerged in a row. Sure enough, there are countless dragons and snakes in the city. They are not comparable to those useless people from noble families who only know how to rely on their family background."

The eldest sister said something similar to the sixth brother, and it was clear that they both harbored resentment.

Then they led Zhang Qingshan deeper into the martial arts school.

A moment later, they arrived at a large lobby.

The main hall is quiet, with a plaque above it that reads "Shanhe Hall" and two couplets carved into the wood on either side.

Gazing at the distant mountains and rivers, one can cultivate the spirit to destroy the seas.

Each character appears to have been written deeply into the hardwood with a finger as a pen, and some edges even resemble fingerprints.

This is far more difficult than destroying or pulverizing; the control over its power and force is unbelievable.

The owner is currently drinking tea and resting in the main hall, and he looks even better than the last time I saw him.

After learning that Zhang Qingshan had entered the Dark Force Realm, he repeated what his senior sister had done, and was also surprised.

Although he didn't understand why Zhang Qingshan's cultivation was so fast, he was still happy overall.

"Good, very good. It's a good thing that a new disciple has joined the inner sect. Oh, right, I haven't asked you yet if you'd like to join my sect and become an inner disciple."

He waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to answer. Just follow your heart. With your talent, you have other options. If you're unwilling, you might end up like the disciples who betrayed the school before you, which would only damage the relationship between us."

"Father, I've said it before, I should be the one to reclaim their martial arts. I can't touch that guy surnamed Long, so why should I be afraid of those traitors from the inner sect?"

The curator flashed a cold look, then smiled and said, "Times have changed. Oh well, it's not their fault. We were just too weak."

He then looked at Zhang Qingshan and said, "Take your time to consider it."

Zhang Qingshan bowed respectfully without the slightest hesitation.

"How could I ever forget the kindness of being taught? To be able to enter the inner sect is something that Qingshan has been seeking but could not obtain, something he has dreamed of but could not achieve."

"Haha, I'm old, I can't protect you for many more years. Aren't you afraid of those wolves and tigers lurking outside?"

Zhang Qingshan looked calmly at the curator.

"Qingshan only knows how to repay kindness with kindness and blood with blood. These petty villains are all bark and no bite; they fear power but have no gratitude. If Qingshan achieves anything in the future, he will surely wipe out these wolves to protect the martial arts school!"

The eldest sister's eyes lit up.

"Well said, but the way you're talking makes it sound like we're useless, waiting for you to wipe out the wolves. You should become a Body Refining Martial Master first."

"Senior Sister is right," Zhang Qingshan said, bowing slightly.

The owner of the museum, Ji Feiyun, coughed, stroked his beard, and looked at Zhang Qingshan with satisfaction.

This kid may look simple and honest, but he speaks kindly and is quite perceptive.

I just don't know if he'll become too smooth and incapable of taking on important responsibilities. I heard that another genius disciple from the outer academy has lost his original intentions.

Suppressing his worries, a smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, then I will accept you as my disciple. From now on, you will be the seventh disciple of the inner sect."

Zhang Qingshan knelt down and respectfully kowtowed.

"Greetings, Master."

"Haha, very good, very good. Get up. Your teacher is running out of energy, so Xiaoyu will usually teach you. Of course, you can ask me directly if there's anything you don't understand."

"Sixth Brother, you'll be in charge of Seventh Brother's treatment from now on. Don't be stingy. I heard that Qingshan's family is poor, so you should take good care of him."

"Yes, Master."

The abbot, seemingly lost in thought, sighed, "Ahem, to be honest, the departure of those disciples has actually freed up more space. Thinking about it this way, it's like gold being refined in a raging fire; the useless ones have all left."

The sixth senior brother and the eldest senior sister exchanged a glance, unsure how to respond.

Then I talked to Zhang Qingshan for a while, mainly about the rights and responsibilities of inner disciples, and gave him some more instructions.

He nodded at Zhang Qingshan.

"Qingshan, go down and cultivate first. Your sixth senior brother or senior sister will contact you to make arrangements later."

"Yes, disciple takes his leave."

......

"What do you think of this boy? Cough cough." The owner of the inn, Ji Feiyun, took another sip of ginseng tea before he felt a little better.

"Father, you should speak less and worry less. I think this newly recruited seventh junior brother is quite good. He speaks well but doesn't talk much. He should be a sensible person who knows how to behave and advance."

Changyueshan hesitated for a moment.

The owner glanced at him. "Little Six, just say what you want to say. You brought him in all that fun, and now you're acting like you want to say something but can't. What are you up to?"

"Master, it's like this. I only slowly realized it later. Did you know that a while ago, a disciple from the outer courtyard had his entire family slaughtered, and then his property was robbed by gangs and constables? He even came to the martial arts school to seek justice for him. I also suspected that someone was testing my martial arts school. This morning, I went to the outpost of the mountain gang to question them, but I didn't expect that this disciple was also killed."

"Later, during the on-site investigation, I learned by chance that this person was from the same hometown as Seventh Junior Brother. In order to curry favor, or perhaps out of jealousy, this person had instructed his family and members of the Mountain Forest Gang to beat up Seventh Junior Brother's family. The next day, the Rong family was slaughtered. At first, I was just puzzled, but then I thought about how Seventh Junior Brother's strength was exposed today, and how Rong Teng was killed and burned yesterday. Perhaps..."

"Master, should we investigate this?"

"Hahahaha!" Ji Feiyun laughed.

"What do you mean? It's just murder and the extermination of a family. It's not like he killed someone for no reason. That disciple was so jealous of the powerful and talented that he brought disaster on his family. Since he offended a genius martial artist, he was slaughtered instead. It's just the way of heaven, and life and death are predestined."

"I actually think more highly of him. He has a fierce and murderous aura, decisiveness, and a clear sense of right and wrong. He is the epitome of the style of martial artists. Back when I returned to my hometown from my sect, I also took revenge for my grudges and established the foundation of my martial arts school. I killed quite a few people, which made people tremble with fear. It's a pity that I'm old now, and many people have forgotten my fierceness. I can no longer control people's hearts."

He sighed, "In this world, good people have to be even more ruthless than bad people to protect more good people. People fear power but do not cherish virtue; this has always been the case."

"Alright, it seems that Xiao Qi is a filial son who cares a lot about his family and parents. Then you should help him and put his mind at ease!"
