The Water Monkey's Grand Ambition

Walking alone through Tong'an Alley, Fang Xuan's expression didn't change much.

For him, Chen Zijin's matter was nothing more than a minor interlude, incapable of affecting his state of mind.

She was just a flower grown in a greenhouse, who had never seen the harshness of the world. They weren't people from the same world, so there wasn't much to say.

However, Big Eyes' gambling addict father must be far more successful than just being well-off in the Prefecture City and making a lot of money. He can even invite an Entry Level Martial Artist just like that. This is not something an ordinary person can do.

Fang Xuan rubbed his chin, then didn't bother to think deeply about it. He pushed open the door and walked in.

The house, built of mud, was dim. Fang Xuan glanced at the candle that had long since burned out, then seemed to notice something and pulled out a piece of Xuan paper from under the oil lamp.

On the Xuan paper, lines of small characters were neatly written.

"Brother, Xiao Lan and I are leaving first. During the time we are away, you must take good care of yourself, remember to eat on time, there are still dishes on the table, remember to heat them up when you come back."

The content on the Xuan paper was very simple, mostly words of concern.

Fang Xuan put down the Xuan paper and lifted the cloth curtain on the dining table to look. Having not returned for more than ten days, the table full of dishes was already covered in white mold.

Vaguely, Fang Xuan seemed to see the busy figures of Fang Li and Fang Lan cooking for him in the house before they left.

Fang Xuan was silent for a moment, then covered the cloth curtain, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes!

Whether for himself or for his younger siblings.

That Zheng Juexiong, who had threatened to collect the corpses of his entire family, must die!

By the time Fang Xuan woke up from his sleep, the sun was already high in the sky.

A burning pain came from his arms. Fang Xuan rolled up his sleeves and looked down, only to see a black tiger palm print appearing on his arms.

"Charging Tiger Palm."

Fang Xuan's expression turned serious. The Black Whale Gang had several Entry Level Martial Arts, and among them, this Charging Tiger Palm was not only fierce and ruthless, but also extremely insidious.

This technique required tempering the arms with potent poison day and night. The poison would penetrate deep into the bone, eventually forging a pair of poisonous palms!

Once struck by this palm, not only would one suffer a great impact force at the time, but the potent poison would also invade the victim's body, continuously corroding and decaying the flesh.

Old Man Yu had been struck by this palm, and his vitality was becoming increasingly weak.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Xuan's blood surged and flowed towards his arms. The originally glaring black tiger palm print immediately faded considerably.

The reason Old Man Yu couldn't recover after being struck by this palm is because he was already severely injured and his blood had decayed to the extreme. My blood is currently vigorous, and my body is in peak condition, so I don't need to worry too much.

A look of contemplation flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes, then he seemed to think of something else, and his face couldn't help but darken.

Tiger Sprint Hand Zheng Juexiong was very strong.

So strong that within the gang, besides Long Huaxing, who now spent his days holding prayer beads and chanting Amitabha, there was probably no one else who was his match!

If Zheng Juexiong hadn't attacked in a hurry last night, and if he hadn't cultivated the Whale Sand Palm to the third level of Perfected, he would have probably lost his life under that palm strike!

Zheng Juexiong had already reached the peak of the first level, Heavenly Gate Skin Arhat!

To defeat Zheng Juexiong, I need to at least raise my physical strength by several levels.

Fang Xuan gently exhaled, and silently chanted in his heart:

"Talisman."

In an instant, the Black Talisman flickered quietly, spreading out like an ink wash painting of mountains and rivers. Countless ripples transformed into clear text.

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Whale Technique (Entry Level)]

[Progress: 0/500]

[Growth Method: Hold whale blood in the mouth, wrestle with waves, temper skin and hammer muscles, dragon tendons will grow naturally!]

[Introduction: Walk on waves, with the strength to move mountains!]

[Martial Art: Whale Sand Palm (Perfected)]

[Progress: 0/1000]

[Growth Method: Soak palms in whale blood, warm tendons and nourish meridians, shatter bluestone with fingers, crush fine iron with palms!]

[Introduction: A human weapon, capable of cutting iron like mud!]

Looking at the panel displayed on the Black Talisman, a hint of helplessness appeared in Fang Xuan's eyes.

Whale blood, whale blood!

Whether cultivating the Dragon Whale Technique or practicing the Whale Sand Palm, both required whale blood as an aid!

"No matter what method I use, I must quickly get whale blood to push my strength to the next level!"

Fang Xuan took a deep breath, a determined glint flashing in his eyes. After washing up, he pushed open the door.

"Master Fang!!!"

A chorus of respectful greetings, like thousands of streams converging into one, transformed into a rolling torrent of mountain-shaking roars, echoing through the clouds.

Fang Xuan focused his gaze and saw that One Line Sky, Water Monkey, Big Eyed Boy, and Chu Chong were already waiting outside the door. Behind them, hundreds of Azure Clothes ruffians were lined up on both sides, clearing a path that extended all the way to the entrance of Tong'an Alley.

The momentum was grand, a blatant display!

Countless neighbors from Tong'an Alley hid behind their doors, peeking at Fang Xuan with eyes filled with both fear and envy.

"Let's go."

Fang Xuan's expression was calm. After a slight nod, he walked out step by step.

One Line Sky and the other three turned around first and followed behind him.

Then, with every step Fang Xuan took forward, a ruffian would turn around and respectfully follow behind.

By the time Fang Xuan had completely walked out of Tong'an Alley, the ruffians behind him had transformed into a vast, winding long dragon!

A sea of people, overwhelming!

"This eldest son of the Fang family has truly made something of himself."

Some neighbors who had watched Fang Xuan grow up couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Everyone could see that this little ruffian Fang Xuan, who was hated by both people and dogs, had probably truly achieved great momentum and was soaring to the sky.

Pingjiang City, within the city.

This is the heart of Pingjiang City. Within an area of less than twenty li, it gathers the most luxurious restaurants, inns, martial arts schools, tea houses, and entertainment venues in the entire Pingjiang City!

Compared to the East of the City, where the ground is dirty and sewage flows freely, and the streets are deserted as soon as night falls, this place is clean and tidy, with singing and revelry every night, a ten-mile stretch of dazzling lights and debauchery!

Living here are the true officials, nobles, gentry, and celebrities of Pingjiang City.

When Fang Xuan led a large group of East Hall ruffians and stepped into this place, preparing to go to the Black Whale Gang headquarters for a meeting.

Unlike the fearful gazes of passersby in the East of the City.

These richly dressed officials and nobles covered their mouths and noses, frowned deeply, and showed expressions of disgust and contempt.

"Where did these bumpkins come from, smelling of rotten fish and shrimp!"

"These street rats, are they showing off their power in our city now?"

"A bunch of paupers, don't make this place stink."

"The City Lord is really something, he should divide the areas, and not allow the lowlifes to enter here."

"Tsk, these lowlifes from the East of the City, why aren't they staying in those dark and damp Bamboo Raft Houses, what are they doing here?"

"These people, they look so smelly at first glance."

"The young man leading them, is he some Fang Xuan from the Black Whale Gang? This little ruffian, born with parents but not taught by them, doesn't think we are as easy to bully as those common people in the East of the City, does he?"

Fang Xuan's face didn't show much expression as he stepped forward.

Behind him, One Line Sky and the four Water Monkeys, who had been excited, could no longer stand the ridicule and were filled with anger.

Those gazes of disgust and mockery were like sharp knives, piercing their hard-earned self-esteem into pieces!

"Damn his mother, I can't stand it anymore!"

Water Monkey, who had always had strong self-esteem, gritted his teeth and was about to erupt.

Chu Chong, who was beside him, also reached out and gripped the handle of the long saber hidden inside his clothes.

Others cared about these people in the city, whether they were gentry, celebrities, officials, or nobles.

But he was someone who didn't even care about his own life, so why would he care about these things?

"Don't move, don't look at them, we'll just walk our own way."

Fang Xuan spoke calmly, stopping the Water Monkey who was about to erupt.

"Brother Xuan, these people are just born a little better than us, what's there to look down on us?" Water Monkey gritted his teeth and said.

"When you're a person, it's okay if others look down on you, as long as you look up to yourself."

Fang Xuan smiled at Water Monkey, then said softly:

"Don't worry, one day I will plant my flag in this area."

Water Monkey nodded vigorously:

"Okay, then all the men living here will be thrown into Pingjiang to fish! All the women will be thrown into the Horse Pen, and I'll be the first to try them out and see what the difference is between these young ladies and ordinary prostitutes when they scream in bed!"
