The hall was deathly silent.
The dozen or so disciples standing on either side were all silent and trembling, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Song Qingya was one of the master's most prized disciples, and now he was beaten to death by Su Yu in front of everyone. Not only did he fail to get revenge, but he also made Ironclad Martial Arts School look bad!
"Click!"
Suddenly, the black iron gall in Xiong Wu's hand made a crisp sound, and he crushed one of the gall bladders, with iron filings falling down.
"Good! Very good!"
Xiong Wu grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, his eyes as sinister as those of a vicious bear ready to devour its prey.
"Kill Sun Shi first, then kill Qingya. This Su Yu is using my Ironclad Martial Arts School as a whetstone, stepping on my disciples to rise to power—"
However, he did not show any signs of anger. Instead, he smiled and said to Liu Hao, "Get up. Since Qingya's skills are inferior, it's not your fault."
"Thank you, Master!"
Liu Hao stepped aside, but he didn't feel much relief.
He knew his master Xiong Wu's temper; he was a smiling tiger. He might seem to be letting him off the hook, but in reality, his treatment at the martial arts school would plummet.
"Master, should I handle this matter?" Kou Xun, who was as tall as an iron tower, stepped forward with a long sword in his hand, his eyes burning with killing intent.
He was a master at the peak of the Body Refining Realm. He had previously defeated Lin Wanzhu in one blow on the arena, but was stopped by Qi Linfeng. He was already filled with killing intent towards the people of the White Ape Martial Arts School.
Xiong Wu shook his head. "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Your actions against Su Yu break the rules. Let Sun Yan handle this personally!"
"Go to the Shattered Bone Martial Arts School and talk to Master Zhou Sinan. He's been wanting to see me, hasn't he? Let's arrange to meet in three days!"
The next day, dawn broke.
The streets and alleys of Blackstone City were much noisier than usual. News of yesterday's duel between the Qian and Yang families was beginning to spread.
The name Su Yu once again became a topic of conversation in teahouses and taverns.
Three punches killed Song Qingya!
Such terrifying achievements caused many of the powerful families who had previously kept their distance from Su Yu out of respect for the Ironclad Martial Arts School to change their attitudes.
In this world where the strong rule, Su Yu's potential is worth the gamble of offending the Ironclad Martial Arts School.
White Ape Martial Arts School, inner hall.
A rich aroma of braised meat filled the air.
Qin Fangqiong was holding a braised chicken foot that was so tender it was practically falling off the bone, and she was eating it with gusto.
"Master, I wonder if my killing of Song Qingya has caused any trouble?" Su Yu asked, bowing.
Qin Fangqiong sucked on a chicken foot and casually waved her hand, "It's alright! In martial arts sparring, once you're on the stage, life and death are in the hands of fate. If you lose, Song Qingya might just beat you to death too!"
"But you actually managed to kill Song Qingya, did you really break through to the pre-realm Tanzhong acupoint?"
Su Yu calmly replied, "I've broken through, Master."
Qin Fangqiong's chicken claw froze in mid-air, her face twitching uncontrollably, but she still managed to maintain a calm and composed demeanor.
"Hmm, not bad, you've got some of my style from back in the day."
"Let's go to the training ground. It's been a long time since I've given you any pointers. Let your teacher see your recent progress in martial arts."
""
"yes!"
The two arrived at the training ground one after the other.
Upon seeing Master Qin's arrival, the disciples who were practicing stopped their movements, bowed respectfully, and quickly made way for him, gathering around him and whispering among themselves.
"Master Qin is going to personally instruct Senior Brother Su in martial arts! Such an opportunity is rare, come and see!"
"Senior Brother Su, I heard that Song Qingya was killed in yesterday's competition. Is that true? It's unbelievable!"
"It's true! The storytellers at the teahouse started talking about it this morning; I heard it with my own ears!"
"Su Yu, let me see your White Ape Fist first!"
"Yes, Master!"
Su Yu closed her eyes slightly and adjusted her breathing.
The next instant, his eyes snapped open, a glint of light flashing in them. He focused his energy in his dantian, and his spine shuddered violently, emitting a crisp bone-crackling sound.
"The white ape asks for directions!"
His body remained still, but his right fist shot out like a venomous snake, instantly tearing through the air.
"Bang—!"
The powerful force of the punch easily tore through the air, producing a loud bang. Even from several meters away, a junior disciple's cheek was still stinging from the force of the punch, causing him to be horrified.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu's aura changed drastically, from agile to violent.
"Splitting the mountain with its back straight!"
His arms were outstretched, and his large back muscles bulged high, like an enraged white ape snatching a giant axe from its hand.
Blood and qi surged through his body, and his entire right arm faintly glowed with a bluish-black metallic sheen.
"boom!"
The punch landed squarely on the ironwood stake.
Instead of the expected scattering of sawdust, there was a dull, muffled bang.
"Snap—!"
The ironwood stake, designed for martial artists with acupoints, exploded directly in the middle, just like an ordinary wooden stake.
Such power left everyone speechless.
If that punch landed on someone—ouch!
Qin Fangqiong, who was standing to the side, was increasingly shocked. Her disciple had indeed broken through, and such strong blood and qi seemed to be something that the White Ape Fist alone could not achieve.
It's the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique!
His eyesight was incredibly sharp; upon seeing the fleeting blue light on Su Yu's fist, he instantly guessed the reason.
good boy!
The Black Stone Body Tempering Technique, a Xuan-rank martial art, allowed him to master it in such a short time!
Qin Fangqiong had practiced this martial art in his early years, but unfortunately, his comprehension was not suited to this kind of body-strengthening technique, and he was slow to master it.
Later, he could only focus on practicing the White Ape Fist, which was most suitable for him.
Is this what a true genius with exceptional comprehension looks like?
Truly, if you understand one principle, you understand all principles!
Not only fist techniques and sword techniques, but even this Xuan-level body-forging technique is so easy to learn.
Qin Fangqiong suppressed her shock, and her regard for Su Yu rose to a new level.
With such comprehension, even a poor natural talent can be compensated for!
From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on my mantle to Su Yu!
I thought Chen Fan was already a talented person, but now it seems that Chen Fan has been overshadowed by Su Yu, a rough gem.
However, I did not pay enough attention to this disciple before, and I will definitely do my best to cultivate him in the future!
As for Yu'er, she should get closer to Su Yu in the future. My White Ape Martial Arts School might have to rely on Su Yu to make a name for itself.
Looking at Su Yu's tall and straight figure as he finished his stance, Qin Fangqiong made up her mind.
As we left the martial arts school, the setting sun shone like blood, casting a golden-red hue over the cobblestone streets of Blackstone City.
As soon as Su Yu stepped into the front yard of his own mansion, he saw several familiar figures standing by the stone table.
Yang Chongren and his sisters had been waiting for a long time, followed by two respectful servants carrying brocade boxes.
"Nephew Su! You're finally back!"
Upon seeing Su Yu, Yang Chongren's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him with a warm smile, showing none of his previous airs.
"Uncle Yang, let's talk in the back hall."
The three of them sat down in the back hall, and the maidservant quickly served them freshly brewed tea. The fragrant aroma of the tea dispelled some of the winter chill.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Chongren put down his teacup.
"Nephew, if it weren't for your heroic efforts in this arena battle, the future of my Yang family would be uncertain. I cannot express my gratitude in words, so I can only offer you this small gift. I hope you will not find it offensive."
With that, he waved his hand gently.
Two servants immediately stepped forward, presented the exquisitely carved sandalwood brocade box they were carrying to the table, and carefully opened it.
"Click".
The moment the first brocade box was opened, a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire hall, invigorating all who smelled it.
Inside the box lay a palm-sized Ganoderma lucidum, its entire body a deep crimson like blood jade, its cap full and thick, its surface faintly displaying natural patterns resembling clouds, shimmering with a warm luster under the candlelight.
"This is a Crimson Jade Fungus, which is fifty years old."
Yang Chongren spoke with a hint of pride: "This is a treasured possession of my Yang family. Ordinary Ganoderma lucidum is only good for replenishing Qi, but this Crimson Jade Ganoderma lucidum grows in the crevices of volcanic rock and contains abundant Yang Qi. My dear nephew is at a crucial stage in cultivating your Qi and blood, and this will be of great benefit to you."
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat. A fifty-year-old Ganoderma lucidum—that's a good thing.
You should know that the plants and animals in this world are much stronger than in the previous world, and medicinal herbs that are fifty years old are already very potent.
Su Yu estimated that this Ganoderma lucidum was worth at least five hundred taels of silver. If he ate it, he could not only accumulate breakthrough points, but also greatly benefit the growth of his martial arts qi and blood.
Immediately afterwards, the servant opened the second jade box.
There were no gold or silver treasures inside, only a lonely Xuan paper contract stamped with a bright red official seal.
"This second gift—" Yang Chongren took out the contract with both hands and solemnly handed it to Su Yu, "is 20% of the net profits from my Yang family's annual business!"
Su Yu was somewhat surprised when Yang Chongren said this.
The Yang family is actually willing to give up 20% of the profits to themselves; this is a real money-making machine.
This means that as long as the Yang family doesn't fall, he will be able to continuously profit from it.
