Lone Wolf Gang

"Why are all the martial arts on the first floor of this Martial Arts Pavilion Yellow-tier Martial Arts?"

After browsing for a while, Lu Changsheng looked somewhat puzzled. He discovered that every martial art stored on the first floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion was Yellow-tier.

After pondering for a moment, however, he understood why. Yellow-tier Martial Arts were the highest-level martial arts Outer Disciples could access. As for Mystic-tier martial arts and those above them, they were likely kept on the Second Floor, a place only Inner Disciples could enter.

"I've only just advanced to the Core Condensation Realm. If I choose martial arts that are too powerful, they may not suit me instead. Yellow-tier Martial Arts it is. If I can master them, even Yellow-tier Martial Arts can unleash tremendous power."

Lu Changsheng muttered inwardly.

With that, he continued wandering between the wooden shelves, stopping now and then as he searched for martial arts better suited to him.

The Martial Arts Pavilion held a dazzling array of martial arts, leaving Lu Changsheng almost dizzy. There were fist techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, sword techniques, and saber techniques—a complete range of categories. Yet after searching through them again and again, he still failed to find anything suitable.

After a round of searching, Lu Changsheng finally came across a Yellow-tier martial art that satisfied him greatly.

"Raging Waves Palm"

"Yellow-tier Grade Three. When this palm technique is unleashed, its palm force sweeps across armies like raging billows and monstrous waves. For one with enduring spiritual power, this palm technique can continue without end like rolling waves, each wave piling atop the next and multiplying its might."

"This Raging Waves Palm can actually stack its power. Although it is only Yellow-tier Grade Three, it should be a martial art with considerable might!"

This was the one!

Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng took the Raging Waves Palm.

Next, he continued searching for a second martial art. This time, his luck was quite good, and before long, he found a third martial art.

"Soaring Dragon Steps"

"Yellow-tier Grade Two. This martial art is a Movement Martial Art. Once performed, one's movements are like a roaming dragon, making it impossible for enemies to guard against."

"A Movement Martial Art..."

Lu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Movement Martial Arts were also extremely important. Whether used for escape or battle, they could produce unexpected effects and secure victory by surprise.

At once, Lu Changsheng took the Soaring Dragon Steps as well.

According to the rules, Lu Changsheng could choose three martial arts. He had already selected two, leaving one final martial art yet to be chosen.

Time slowly passed. Lu Changsheng repeatedly searched through the Martial Arts Pavilion, yet he could never find a final martial art that satisfied him. By then, nearly an hour had passed.

He only had one hour. Once the time was up, he had to leave the Martial Arts Pavilion.

At this point, Lu Changsheng could not help growing anxious.

"Hm?"

Just then, Lu Changsheng suddenly noticed a scroll covered in dust in an exceptionally secluded corner.

"This is..."

Drawn toward it, he immediately picked up the scroll and wiped away the dust. The scroll revealed a silver exterior, with a faint trace of lightning power lingering around it.

"Wind Thunder Fist"

"Yellow-tier Grade Five. This fist technique contains the power of wind and thunder, and its might is domineering in the extreme."

That brief line of introduction swiftly caught Lu Changsheng's attention.

Because this Wind Thunder Fist was precisely the martial art he had been seeking!

After an hour of selection, Lu Changsheng had chosen three martial arts—two offensive martial arts, the Raging Waves Palm and Wind Thunder Fist, as well as the Movement Martial Art Soaring Dragon Steps. He was very satisfied with his choices.

"That's enough!"

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

If he could successfully cultivate all three martial arts, his combat strength would surely rise tremendously!

With that thought, he left the Martial Arts Pavilion in high spirits.

After leaving the Martial Arts Pavilion, Lu Changsheng hurried toward the back mountain, intending to cultivate the three martial arts there.

Along the way, he passed through the Martial Training Plaza, a place where many disciples of the sect sparred and fought.

At that moment, the Martial Training Plaza was packed with disciples and bursting with activity.

Lu Changsheng was passing by the Martial Training Plaza with the martial arts in hand when several figures noticed him.

"Lu Changsheng?"

"Stop right there!"

A cold shout suddenly rang out from behind him in the Martial Training Plaza. Lu Changsheng halted, then turned around and looked over.

Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan were glaring at him through gritted teeth. Several disciples stood beside them, all dressed in green robes embroidered with a ferocious wolf.

Clearly, they were members of the Lone Wolf Gang.

"Brother Hai! It's him! This brat attacked the two of us and stole all our Spirit Stones. Brother Hai, you must seek justice for us!"

Zhang Meng said coldly.

"Oh?"

Among the members of the Lone Wolf Gang, a tall youth with a sinister face and eyes as sharp as a wolf's stared coldly at Lu Changsheng.

This youth was none other than Chen Hai, the leader of the Lone Wolf Gang!

Chen Hai led the Lone Wolf Gang disciples forward, and before long, they had surrounded Lu Changsheng on all sides.

"Heh, brat, you've got the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard. You even dared to lay hands on members of our Lone Wolf Gang!"

At the side, a Lone Wolf Gang disciple wore a cold sneer.

Lu Changsheng frowned. He had not expected the Lone Wolf Gang to come looking for him so quickly.

"Core Condensation Realm, and your aura isn't fully stable yet. It seems you've only recently broken through. You're quite strong—no wonder Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan lost to you."

Chen Hai evaluated him calmly.

"What?!"

"Core Condensation Realm?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan's pupils shrank. They were so shocked that it was as though they had seen a ghost.

Core Condensation Realm!

How was that possible?!

Just a few days ago, this fellow had clearly been at the Ninth Level of Qi Condensation. How had he broken through to the Core Condensation Realm in only a few days?

Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan were dumbfounded.

"Don't be afraid. A Core Condensation Realm First Level cultivator is still far from qualified to act arrogantly before Brother Hai. Brother Hai entered the Fifth Level of Core Condensation Realm long ago!"

A Lone Wolf Gang disciple said.

"Brother Hai, don't let this bastard off! This fellow has a treasure cauldron, and it seems to be an exceedingly valuable treasure!"

Zhao Yuan said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng silently clenched his fists, and a trace of killing intent surfaced in the depths of his eyes.

The matter of the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron absolutely could not be leaked. Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan had actually told Chen Hai that he possessed the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, instantly stirring Lu Changsheng's killing intent.

After hearing this, greed also flickered in Chen Hai's eyes.

Clearly, he wanted to claim Lu Changsheng's treasure cauldron for himself.

"Kneel down, apologize to Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan, then hand over that treasure cauldron. Today, my Lone Wolf Gang can spare you once."

Chen Hai said in a deep voice.

Faced with the Lone Wolf Gang and Chen Hai's pressure, Lu Changsheng did not choose to yield. Instead, he refused.

"I won't kneel!"

"And I don't have any cauldron!"
