Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

Four hours later, Lin Yan adjusted his breathing to calm his restless blood energy.

On the martial arts arena in front of him, the disciples were lying on the ground. On one hand, they were grimacing in pain, but on the other hand, they were trembling and shrinking their necks. They did not dare to make a sound, nor did they dare to look at Lin Yan, afraid that he would hit them again.

Lin Yan checked the proficiency of the Five Animal Hands Technique in the Golden Bodhi Scripture and was slightly disappointed.

After spending half a day, the proficiency in the Golden Bodhi Scripture only increased by a tiny bit.

He originally planned to let the disciples comprehend the profundity of the Five Animal Hands Technique through actual combat and increase his proficiency by the way.

However, his physique, eyesight, reaction, and experience far exceeded these disciples of Wu Yard. Even if it was three against one, he would still crush them. How could he improve?

Lin Yan sighed softly and said, “Continue tomorrow.” He ignored the wails and turned to leave.

He walked out and returned to the Instruction Yard, in front of Eldest Senior Brother Zang Wei’s house.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m here.”

“Come in.”

In the training hall, the furnishings were simple and the colors were simple. There were only a few stone chains and wooden stakes, making it look very empty.

Eldest Senior Brother was practicing his fist. Although he only had one arm, the power of his fist was incomparable. The air rustled when he hit, giving people a sense of oppression.

After Eldest Senior Brother finished practicing his fist technique, Lin Yan walked forward.

“Eldest Senior Brother, why are you looking for me?’

“Lin Yan, since you’ve really entered the sect, it’s time to practice the true secret martial arts of Dragon Gate Pavilion.”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “Dragon-Shaped Fist!”

“So you’ve heard.”

“I heard Senior Brother Pang Tong mention it.”

Zang Wei nodded.

“The martial arts true techniques in the world are divided into three levels:

miscellaneous, secret, and peerless legacy.

“A common item like the Five Animal Hands Technique that doesn’t have much power is just a miscellaneous martial art.

“The reason why secret martial arts are different from miscellaneous martial arts is that every secret martial art has its own specialties.

“Some are good at killing, some are good at endurance, and some are good at improving physical defense.

“And our Dragon-Shaped Fist is naturally good at…” Eldest Senior Brother suddenly said, “I heard that you defeated Mi Tai yesterday?”

Lin Yan’s heart trembled.

‘What are you afraid of? It’s normal for disciples to fight each other. As long as you don’t kill them, it’s fine. You’re stronger than Mi Tai in this aspect. ‘

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, but he was thinking that this was only in Dragon Gate Pavilion. If they were in the wilderness and no one was around, Mi Tai would have died long ago.

However, Eldest Senior Brother changed the topic. “However, don’t be smug. You were just lucky to defeat Mi Tai. He fell because his Dragon -Shaped Fist was only at the beginner level and didn’t unleash its power at all.

“If he practices for another month or two and comprehends the essence of the Dragon- Shaped Fist, you and those two disciples will probably not even be able to touch the corner of his clothes. ‘

After Zang Wei finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Yan. “Aren’t you angry? Don’t you think I’m talking nonsense?”

Lin Yan shook his head. “Eldest Senior Brother must have his reasons for saying that. ‘

After all, Mi Tai was a certified genius of the Dragon Gate Pavilion. Geniuses could not be calculated with common sense. He had always maintained sufficient vigilance.

However, he was also confident in himself. He had his own backing.

A hint of admiration appeared on Zang Wei’s face. He walked to the middle of the martial arts hall in a few steps.

“I’ll give you a demonstration and let you see the characteristics and essence of the Dragon-Shaped Fist with your own eyes.”

Zang Wei pointed at a thick wooden stump nailed to the right of the martial arts hall five steps away from him.

“This is ironwood, a special type of wood in the depths of the Guangchuan Mountains. Although its hardness is inferior to refined iron, it is not much different.”

Lin Yan tilted his head and looked over. This wooden stump was completely black and emitted a metallic luster. It looked like wood but was not wood, iron but not iron. It was obvious at a glance that it was very hard.

However, there were many fist marks of varying depths on its front.

“Watch carefully. I’ll demonstrate the strength of a normal Strength Realm martial artist first. ‘

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and quickly approached the wooden stump. He punched it.

With a crisp sound, the iron stake shook slightly.

When Zang Wei retracted his fist, the patterns on the iron wooden stake remained unchanged, except for a shallow white mark.

“The blood energy of a Strength Realm martial artist has transformed. When he circulates his blood energy, he is as strong as an ox, but he can’t leave a mark on the iron stake. Next, I’ll demonstrate the power of a Strength Realm martial artist using the Dragon-Shaped Fist.”

Lin Yan noticed that Zang Wei deliberately walked back to where he was standing five steps away.

In the next moment, his figure suddenly flashed.

Lin Yan’s pupils constricted. So fast!

Zang Wei moved like lightning and instantly reached the iron stake. His fist was like a swimming dragon as he struck the iron stake ruthlessly!

Bang!

With a dull explosion, the iron stake shook violently.

Zang Wei retracted his hand and showed the iron stake to Lin Yan. A shallow fist mark was imprinted on the iron stake. Its power was several times greater than before!

“Feel it yourself.”

Lin Yan followed his instructions and stepped forward. When his fingers touched the iron stake, the hard touch of cold metal instantly made him feel the firmness of the iron stake.

He noticed that most of the fist marks on the iron stake were much deeper than the fist mark just now. Clearly, Eldest Senior Brother’s strength was definitely not at the Strength Realm.

“Can you tell? Where’s the power of the Dragon -Shaped Fist?”

Lin Yan’s breathing quickened. “It’s speed! ‘

“That’s right! The characteristic of the Dragon -Shaped Fist is speed, or rather, agility.

“In the entire Ding’an City, although the Dragon- Shaped Fist can’t be ranked first, it’s at the top in terms of speed and agility.

“For martial artists of the same realm, the disciples of our Dragon Gate

Pavilion are faster and more agile.

“Furthermore, this gap will increase as one’s realm increases.

“At my master’s level, even if someone’s strength of blood energy surpasses him and their moves are exquisite, very few people can defeat him in actual combat.

“It’s because he’s fast!

“He moves like a dragon and leaves immediately. He’s invincible!”

Lin Yan muttered, ‘Only speed can’t be broken!”

Zang Wei paused for a moment and slowly repeated, “Only speed can’t be broken… Your summary is very accurate. It even exceeds the essence of the Dragon- Shaped Fist!”

“Eldest Senior Brother, you flatter me.”

“If it’s true, then it’s true. You don’t have to be polite on my side.” Eldest Senior Brother paced a few more steps, and his expression suddenly became much more serious.

“However, there’s one thing you have to pay attention to. The stronger the martial arts technique, the more burden it will put on you.

“If you don’t have the corresponding muscles, bones, physique, realm, and specific medicinal herbs, and if you practice martial arts blindly, you’ll be courting death.

“Therefore, disciples of Wei Yard are not allowed to practice boxing directly during the first three days of entering the sect. Instead, they are allowed to watch, observe, and memorize the key points.”

Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. “I’ll remember it.

“In the future, if you accidentally obtain other martial arts techniques, you can’t practice them easily, lest you hurt yourself.”

At this point, Eldest Senior Brother suddenly changed the topic and asked, “1 heard that you’ve been practicing actual combat recently?”

Lin Yan was stunned, not knowing why Eldest Senior Brother suddenly asked this. He replied, “Yes. ‘

“Very good. I haven’t seen a person like you who doesn’t adhere to the tradition, has a purpose, and has a plan to practice martial arts for a long time.

“Actually, Wu Yard doesn’t teach actual combat because most people can’t become martial artists.

“Teaching them actual combat will instead mislead them into thinking that they have some ability. If they try to stand up for themselves in the future when they encounter something, they will only harm their lives.”

Lin Yan nodded and said, “1 see.”

Eldest Senior Brother continued, “In that case, I happen to have a commission that’s suitable for you. It can also increase your combat ability while allowing you to observe the Dragon- Shaped Fist. I wonder if you’re willing to accept it. ‘

“Eldest Senior Brother, I wonder…”

Just as he was asking, there was a knock on the door. A sharp voice said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother.’

Lin Yan frowned slightly. This voice was soft, as if it was Yu Qian’s.

“Perfect, she’s here,” Eldest Brother said and raised his voice. “Come in!” The door opened and it was Yu Qian.

Today, she did not put on any makeup. Her skin was smooth, and under her bright facial features, she was wearing a plain white martial arts suit that could not hide her delicate figure. Her hair was tied into a simple ponytail with a red velvet rope, making her look heroic.

Seeing Lin Yan, Yu Qian covered her mouth with one hand and exclaimed, “Lin Yan, why are you here?”

Lin Yan glanced at Eldest Senior Brother. “Eldest Senior Brother asked me to come.”

Shock appeared on Yu Qian’s pretty face as she blurted out, “You paid too?”

Lin Yan’s mind raced. He recalled that the gatekeeper, Elder Wen, had said that

Yu Qian had paid 200 taels to hire someone to teach her. He instantly understood that this person was Eldest Senior Brother.

Zang Wei reached out and pressed down. Yu Qian, who still wanted to speak, quickly shut her mouth and did not dare to speak.

“Lin Yan, this is my commission for you: to fight Yu Qian in actual combat. “It’s two months. There’s no need to do it many times. Once every five days.

“As for the reward, there are two.

“Firstly, aren’t you practicing actual combat? Building a car behind closed doors isn’t the right thing to do. During the actual combat, I’ll personally guide you. I believe it will be beneficial to you.

“Secondly, I will share half a bowl of Body Nourishing Soup with you. Don’t worry, the share of Body Nourishing Soup can be stacked. You can receive it after it’s stacked to one bowl.

“Of course, if you’re unwilling, I’ll go to the Administration Office to issue a commission.’

Lin Yan was slightly happy. He was worried that his actual combat progress was slow. Eldest Senior Brother’s realm was high and he had practiced martial arts for a long time. With the man’s guidance, he would definitely gain something.

Besides, he could not wait to fight every day. Once every five days, he would only fight 12 times in two months. Furthermore, he was fighting Yu Qian. It was too easy.

As for the half a bowl of Body Nourishing Soup, it was just a bonus.

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother. I’ll accept this commission.”

On the other side, Yu Qian had long raised her fair hand and gently bit her rosy lips.

Zang Wei glanced at her. “Yu Qian, what’s your problem?”

“Eldest Senior Brother, I haven’t mastered my Dragon -Shaped Fist yet. It’s better not to enter actual combat so quickly, right?”

Zang Wei snorted coldly. “Yu Qian, I’ve already explained the essence of the Dragon- Shaped Fist. If you’re not familiar with it, practice it well in actual combat! You’ll naturally grasp it well after being beaten up more.”

Yu Qian’s breathing quickened slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered. “But Eldest Senior Brother, Lin Yan definitely hasn’t learned the Dragon -Shaped Fist, right? Why don’t we find Senior Brother Wang or Junior Brother MP”

Eldest Senior Brother was expressionless. “Them? Yu Qian, you’re here to practice martial arts, not to date. Although Lin Yan has never learned the Dragon- Shaped Fist, he’s born with strong muscles and bones. He’s more than enough to beat you. You should worry about yourself.”

Yu Qian shrunk her neck and said aggrievedly, “Yes..”
