He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

This street is full of hot-blooded young people, and when they see people fighting, they all naturally go to watch.

It was surrounded by layers upon layers, forming a very large circle.

Jiang Lin and Lao Liu squeezed their way in after a long time.

There are often fights on this street, and the onlookers all know the rules, leaving enough space for the two people in the middle.

Jiang Lin arrived late and was unaware of the reason. By the time he squeezed in, the two people in the room had already started fighting.

The Mountain-Splitting Palm combines strength and gentleness, emphasizing long-range attacks, while the Thunderclap Hand that Jiang Ping learned emphasizes seizing opportunities and striking at the first touch.

At first, the two were evenly matched, and Jiang Ping even had a slight advantage as he launched a series of attacks.

However, Xu Feng was clever. His hands were "as dense as rain" in defense, and his footwork was even more varied and rounded. He even went so far as to use a rolling and tumbling move.

As time went on, Jiang Ping became impatient, and his moves began to become disorganized.

To be honest, sparring and fighting below the martial arts realm is not very interesting at all. It's not much different from a farmer's skill, only slightly better than an ordinary person.

This is why Tiger Warrior Fist focuses only on stance training before reaching the Martial Artist level.

They practice stances in the martial arts school on a daily basis, training their qi and blood and stimulating their potential. As for techniques, they are not that important for those below the level of a martial artist.

Even though the Tiger Soul Stance is at the same level of cultivation, it's not necessarily inferior to the Mountain Splitting Palm or Thunderclap Hand in front of us, even if it doesn't know any killing techniques. This is the suppression of the skill level.

Because stance training focuses on the foundation, resulting in more refined Qi and blood, and a stronger physique, it can completely compensate for any shortcomings in the techniques.

This is why Jiang Lin was able to take down three people at the dock before, and it's also the reason why Lin Zheng was able to go out and ambush them.

The only advantage of these martial arts schools that charge ten taels of silver for tuition is that they are more intimidating.

At the end of their sparring session, Xu Feng found an opportunity and with a powerful palm strike, knocked Jiang Ping to the ground.

Jiang Lin found the scene uninteresting and simply called Lin Zheng to leave, with no immediate intention of meeting Jiang Ping.

……

"We've assembled."

The two returned to the compound and were just about to start practicing when they heard someone call for assembly.

The two of them didn't linger and joined the others in one place.

After standing there for a short while, the owner of the brothel, Li Zhenguan, came out from the backyard with a woman in a tight-fitting outfit.

To be honest, since Jiang Lin joined the boxing gym, he had never seen this nominal master again except when he became an apprentice. Including today, he had only met him twice in total.

As a third-level expert who had broken through to the Bone Refining Realm, Li Zhenguan's prestige was undeniable, but the woman following behind him was surprisingly not inferior in terms of aura.

This is not a change brought about by martial arts skill level, but rather an aura cultivated by the heritage of a large family.

"Let me introduce you. This is your Senior Sister Long, whose given name is Susu. From today onwards, Senior Sister Long will be in charge of guiding you."

Li Zhenguan scanned the entire room, suppressing everyone's gaze, before continuing, "I won't say much more. Your Senior Sister Long's visit is an opportunity for you. If I find anyone disobeying..."

"Then strip them of their cultivation and expel them from the martial arts school."

After finishing his speech and seeing that the audience had been properly prepared, Li Zhenguan nodded to Long Susu and returned to the backyard.

Only then did everyone dare to look up at the newly arrived Senior Sister Long.

She was dressed in a simple, fitted outfit that hugged her body, with a black ribbon cinching her waistline. Her figure was no less impressive than that of an average man.

Her beautiful face featured a high nose bridge, dark blue eyebrows that slanted upwards towards her temples, and long, sharp eyes that should have conveyed a sense of coldness, but were softened by her thick, curled eyelashes.

His unique temperament can only be described in four words by Jiang Lin: "still waters conceal their sharpness".

When Long Susu started speaking, she said that after passing the three tests, one could receive funding from the Long family, and that after reaching the level of a martial artist, one could hold a position in the Long family and even be taught the Long family's unique underwater martial arts.

"Hmm...water-based martial arts?"

Jiang Lin and Lin Zheng exchanged a glance. "So, it seems like it's not entirely wrong to give it a lick..."

It should be noted that the reason why the Long family of the county town is so powerful is largely due to this water-based martial arts technique.

The Yunmeng Marsh spans three thousand miles and is teeming with countless treasure fish. There are numerous fishermen around this great marsh, and even many martial artists enter the marsh to try and catch them in order to advance their cultivation.

However, water is not like land. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can only exert 60% of your full strength in the water. If you encounter danger, you may even be in mortal danger.

In the end, apart from a very few people who can gain something, most people can only sigh in vain.

However, with the underwater techniques, the chances of catching the treasure fish are greatly increased.

Everyone present had grown up by the Great Swamp, so they naturally knew what this technique meant.

That means endless resources in the Great Swamp, and room for advancement in martial arts.

Before she knew it, Senior Sister Long had finished speaking and told everyone to disperse.

Jiang and Lin returned to their familiar corner and continued practicing their stances. They had just eaten a lot of meat that evening, so they couldn't just let it rot inside them.

After two recent battles, Jiang Lin had already experienced the benefits of this skill.

In just over ten days, his physique underwent a significant change.

Previously, Jiang Lin was thin and emaciated, but now he has not only grown an inch taller, but his body has also begun to develop muscles, and he looks much more energetic.

Coupled with Jiang Lin's already handsome face, his attractiveness increased by more than a little.

Another night passed with the moon rising above the treetops, and the courtyard fell silent, save for the sounds of the two men walking on the stakes, their clothes fluttering and their footsteps echoing.

Both of them were diligent people, and naturally they were completely focused when practicing.

"It has the form, but lacks the spirit."

The sudden sound interrupted their practice.

"Who's this? Disturbing people's practice..."

Lin Zheng cursed inwardly. He was about to break through, and what bothered him most was being disturbed while he was practicing his stance.

Before he could even turn around, he heard Jiang Lin beside him greet him in an extremely obsequious manner.

"Hello, Senior Sister Long."

"Senior sister, it's so late, why aren't you resting? You must be working so hard..."

Lin Zheng was utterly speechless. Didn't we just agree not to lick his boots?

"It's not tiring. Martial artists have plenty of energy, so sleeping a little less won't hurt. It's you two who are more troublesome..."

Long Susu pointed to the moon, then to the two of them, "They really are diligent and hardworking."

Long Susu was only eighteen years old, not much older than the two of them, and she was naturally very interested in teaching apprentices for the first time.

"However, despite his diligence, his stance training was not done correctly; he only grasped the form but not the spirit."

"Um?"

Jiang Lin was puzzled. When Senior Brother Zhou was around, he often praised him for his excellent stance and high comprehension. How come when he came to Senior Sister Long, he only grasped the form?

"Please give me your guidance, senior sister."

The two men clasped their hands together, appearing ready to listen attentively.

Seeing the two asking for advice, Long Susu was satisfied. Her expression turned serious. "The so-called tiger's gait is like being sick. This 'sickness' does not refer to disease, but rather to composure, confidence, and invincibility."

"As for the so-called dragon's walk and tiger's stride, the dragon's walk is elegant and the tiger's stride is composed. You two only memorize the form of this exercise, but you haven't grasped its spirit. How can you progress quickly?"

"The Tiger Soul Stance emphasizes the word 'soul.' What does 'soul' refer to? It refers to spirit and essence. Now, walk it again as I have instructed."

After speaking, Senior Sister Long took a few steps away, stood there with her hands behind her back, and with her chest out and stomach in, her firm and round breasts were accentuated.

In addition, her imitation of a man's movements, standing with her legs apart, made her legs appear even longer.

At this moment, Jiang Lin had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Ever since Long Susu finished speaking, he had a sudden realization, as if a paper window had been pierced open.

Following this feeling, Jiang Lin calmly and focused his mind as he went through the stance training again.

[Proficiency +2]

This senior sister is really something!

Jiang Lin was completely shocked.

In fact, not only Jiang Lin was shocked, but Long Susu was no less shaken than him.

I simply repeated my master's words once, just once, and this kid understood them thoroughly and demonstrated them. What kind of comprehension is this?

Long Susu quickly took a few steps forward, and in her excitement, her chest almost pressed against Jiang Lin's back.

Suddenly, a delicate fragrance, like orchids and musk, wafted towards Jiang Lin's nose.

He glanced at his senior sister, then at the control panel.

"Ugh, senior sister smells so good."
