That Guy Might Be a Beast, But...

[I'll answer two questions from my readers.]

Q: A friend asked why the powerful figure behind the Sun Moon Sect didn't help the protagonist...

A: 1. I remember writing earlier that they were all carefree and worldly-wise, and they didn't even care about their own deaths, so why would they forcibly change other people's karma? (Note that it's "forcibly"; they would still help if needed)... If you don't find it troublesome, you can read chapter seventy-two (it seems to be chapter seventy-three on Penguin Reading).

2. Each big shot has a story, which will be related to the protagonist's plot and will be included in the main text. No spoilers.

3. If you really can't figure it out... then just consider it a setting... otherwise, how can a lazy bum like me keep writing? ~~~(?′Д`?)っ??╰ひ╯.

Q: Why did the protagonist seem to lose his intelligence in the previous chapter?

A: The protagonists with high IQs... all went to see Cheng Ge...

PS: The above Q&A is not included in the word count. It will be added to the "Author's Note" after the book is published. The following text is 2200 words long~~~ 100 more than usual (*▽) I had something to do tonight, so I'm posting it early today~~~ Happy reading everyone~~~ (??)]

Congratulations, Young Master Jiang, on the successful completion of your Clay Embryo Realm!

Inside a small pavilion in the Chen Manor, Jiang Lin, with bandages wrapped around his waist (from being beaten by Chen Jia) and plasters on his neck (from being bitten by Chen Jia), sat with Chen Huo, who was wrapped up like a mummy.

"Although I don't know what happened, I still thank Madam Chen."

Jiang Lin stood up and bowed respectfully, but as for bending over, he decided to skip it for now...

Mother Chen looked at Jiang Lin and nodded, gently stroking her daughter's long hair:

"Our Chen Manor's training ground is also known as the Spirit Refining Field. Young Master Jiang, in practicing our family's Shattering God Fist, must undergo certain trials. Only by bravely facing fear can you look directly at the gods and shatter them with a single punch!"

"Courageously face your fear? Oli Ge!"

What did you say, Young Master Jiang?

"It's nothing..." Jiang Lin bowed respectfully, "This junior was just lucky."

"Young Master Jiang, you are too modest." Mother Chen stood up and bowed to Jiang Lin. "The Shattering God Fist is far too dangerous. It was my presumption that led to this. Please forgive me, Little Jia Young Master Jiang. If it were to ruin your Young Master Jiang arts, it would truly be a grave sin."

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't mind."

Jiang Lin drank a cup of tea and waved his hand. As for what had happened, Mother Chen had already explained it to Jiang Lin, and Jiang Lin only then realized how dangerous it had been for him in the illusion.

Fortunately, the result was pretty good.

"If Young Master Jiang doesn't mind, I'll take Little Jia's place and help Young Master Jiang train for the Martial Warrior Second Realm in a couple of days."

"Well, thank you for your kindness, Madam Chen, but I have to go out on a mission tomorrow, so let's postpone the Martial Warrior Second Realm until another day."

To be honest, Jiang Lin could have stayed a few more days, but the moment he saw Chen Huo lying in a wheelchair next to him like a mummy, Jiang Lin immediately chickened out.

"In that case, it's up to Young Master Jiang. However, Young Master Jiang, please practice diligently. Your fist intent will enter a stable period in the next two days, but after that, you should practice the Shattering God Fist stance training at least a hundred times every day."

"A hundred times???"

Mother Chen nodded with a smile, "Yes, and not a single time can be missed. Otherwise, the fist intent will be too strong and unable to circulate smoothly, Young Master Jiang's newly formed clay model will be shattered, and his life may even be in danger."

"..."

Jiang Lin's brow twitched. Although even if his Great Dao was severed, he would be fully restored after being resurrected once, and his cultivation level would be retained, it was precisely because his cultivation level would be retained that this was the real problem.

It's like saving your game account. Once you've reached the Martial Warrior First Realm, your body is automatically saved. If you accidentally fail to practice the stance a hundred times and then die...

Even if I were resurrected, I would still need to practice the stance a hundred more times, otherwise I would still die...

Holy crap! Isn't this a total rip-off?

Isn't the Pegasus Meteor Fist better? You can buy it yourself after accumulating a few more years of Notoriety Points, why bother practicing this Shattering God Fist...?

For a moment, Jiang Lin really wanted to return the goods...

"It will be tough at first, but later..."

Jiang Lin's eyes lit up. "So we don't need to practice anymore?"

Mother Chen smiled and said, "You'll get used to it after a while..."

"..."

"My Little Jia and I will go practice our boxing first. Let your husband keep Young Master Jiang."

"Please take care, Madam Chen."

Mother Chen, pulling her reluctant daughter who kept turning back every few steps, slowly left the pavilion, leaving only Jiang Lin and Chen Huo inside.

"Mother... Father doesn't like Little Lin, and he'll fight with Little Lin."

After Chen Jia and her mother had walked a distance, she said resentfully.

"You..."

Mother Chen sighed and gently tapped her daughter's forehead. "They say girls in love have negative IQs. This hasn't even started yet, how come my daughter's IQ has already dropped to zero?"

"Little Jia, if you keep throwing yourself at someone like this, even if they like you a lot, they won't cherish you."

"Who said I like him..." Chen Jia turned around, her pretty face slightly flushed. "No! I have to go back! Otherwise, that beast will be bullied by Father."

"But if you go there now, will those martial arts prowess still be able to approach Jiang Lin?"

"I..."

The girl pouted and stomped her foot playfully. Although she really wanted to be with that beast Jiang Lin, her mother was right.

Before Mother finished speaking, Jiang Lin's Martial Warrior First Realm was actually the strongest in the Nine Provinces — the Clay Embryo Realm. As long as Jiang Lin didn't advance to the Martial Warrior Second Realm, no one else's Clay Embryo Realm would be stronger than Jiang Lin.

And as a gift to the strongest Martial Warrior, the greatest martial arts realm is the martial fortune that comes from all directions!

If I stay by Jiang Lin's side, even if those martial arts masters come, they won't even glance at Jiang Lin; they'll all rush towards me.

The reason is not because of anything else, but because Chen Jia is the first genius in the Nine Provinces since Ancient Times to be at the strongest level in all six realms of martial Martial Warrior First Realm the Clay Embryo Realm to the Martial Warrior Sixth Realm of the Martial Courage Realm.

Mother Chen instructed her daughter to publicly claim that she was at the Martial Warrior Seventh Realm, the Golden Body Realm, otherwise other Martial Warrior would doubt that her realm was genuine.

Although she claimed to be a level higher when dueling, this would make her daughter appear less impressive. Even though her daughter still easily defeated her opponent, it ultimately saved her a lot of trouble.

"They're here." Gently holding her daughter in her arms, Mother Chen looked up at Wu Yun, who was approaching from all directions. "Little Jia, tell me, will Jiang Lin accept her, or will he break them up like you and my daughter did?"

"Martial Warrior relies on himself, never on luck or any other such empty talk. That guy may be a beast, but he still has that kind of Bone Spirit," Chen Jia muttered, looking up at the sky.

Wutong Province Gan Di Fist Sect.

Countless men Pure Martial Warrior, carried a large tree on their backs, punching the ground wildly. One of the elders kept shouting, "One... two... three... four..."

With each punch thrown by Martial Warrior, the entire martial arts sect was filled with supreme Fist Aura.

"Rest for one incense stick's time, everyone take a bath where you are."

"Yes!"

All the Martial Warrior in the square deftly took out a large bathtub from their Storage Bag, then filled it halfway with hot water from a thermos bag labeled "Large Capacity, Plenty."

As if they were about to boil themselves alive, everyone quickly put the pre-prepared bath medicine into the tub and then jumped in naked.

"Ah... that feels so good..."

"Life is but a bath, a fleeting second..."

"Yeah... that felt so good..."

Under the summer sun, all the Martial Warrior, with towels on their foreheads, rested their hands on the edge of the bathtub, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, enjoying the beautiful sky and the birdsong around them.

Some muscular Pure Martial Warrior put rubber ducks in their bathtubs, some were reading Martial Warrior in their tubs, and others were having a Martial Warrior to see who could fart the biggest bubble in the water...

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, a guy shouted, "Look! Wu Yun!"

All the guys looked up, and the overwhelming martial energy was rapidly converging in one direction...

This situation indicates that... the strongest Martial Warrior Realm has been born, and judging from the level of martial luck, it seems to be the Martial Warrior Third Realm...

"Damn it! You read fanfiction! You teased the little yellow duck! And you all! Wait till you pop your own bubbles with your mouths! All of you, get in the bathtub and practice your horse stance with your inner energy! As the number one fist sect in Wutong Province! For twenty years! For twenty years, our sect hasn't produced a single Martial Warrior Realm! Get up!"

The elder immediately lost his composure, picked up Wolf Tooth Club, and started hitting them...
