Arhat Fist Perfection!

Yun City, a vast courtyard, sat quietly near the city walls.

Above the courtyard's main gate, two characters were inscribed with a flourish.

"Bai Family"

Inside a study in the Bai Family residence.

Bai Mo sat on a chair, his expression grim, staring at the vessels on the tabletop. For some reason, an intense rage surged within him.

With a forceful sweep of his hand, the vessels lying peacefully on the table were swept away, falling to the ground.

Crash!

The vessels hit the ground, shattering into pieces.

"Lu Sheng..."

Bai Mo's eyes were dark, like a man-eating lion.

Everything that had happened today flashed through Bai Mo's mind.

First, Lu Sheng had outshone him by defeating the Martial Arts Puppet at Blood Qi Layer Eight, hogging all the attention, and then being summoned by Chen Zhen alone.

Though he didn't know what Chen Zhen had said to Lu Sheng, Bai Mo felt that such an opportunity to build a relationship with an Instructor from the Martial Arts Class should have been his.

Yet, Lu Sheng had gotten there first.

After that, Chu Yanran, who had been training with him all along, had used a flimsy excuse to reject him for Lu Sheng!

As the young master of the Bai Family, blessed with extraordinary talent, he had always been superior to his peers since becoming a Martial Artist.

Yet, he had suffered a setback at the hands of Lu Sheng, an orphan.

How could Bai Mo tolerate this?

For a moment, flames ignited in Bai Mo's heart, wanting to burn Lu Sheng to ashes.

"Someone!!"

Bai Mo roared.

Immediately, the study door was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance walked in.

The middle-aged man entered expressionlessly and then bowed slightly to Bai Mo.

"Young Master!"

Bai Mo looked at the middle-aged man before him, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes.

"Go and get rid of that Lu Sheng. I don't want to see that guy appear before me again in the future!"

Bai Mo said fiercely, almost gritting his teeth.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, that Lu Sheng has already become a Martial Artist. Although he hasn't registered with the Martial Alliance yet, attacking a Martial Artist without cause... is a very troublesome matter!"

While the Bai Family could be considered a first-class presence in Yun City, it wasn't easy to attack a Martial Artist.

At least...

Not openly!

After all, the status of Martial Artists was exceptionally high, and with the existence of alien demons, Martial Artists were the only weapon against them. If one casually killed a Martial Artist, even if you were a more powerful Martial Artist, you would still be punished by the Martial Alliance.

Even the Bai Family was no exception!

"Hmph! I don't care what method you use! In short... I don't want to see this guy appear before me again!!"

Bai Mo snorted coldly, looking at the middle-aged man with a dark gaze.

"What? I've supported you for so long, and you can't even handle this small matter?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, a look of helplessness appearing on his face, before bowing slightly again.

"Yes!"

With that, the middle-aged man respectfully retreated.

Once Bai Mo was alone in the study, his expression became even more ferocious.

"Lu Sheng! A mere orphan dares to steal my spotlight. In this Yun City... I have countless ways to kill you!"

Bai Mo's sinister voice echoed in the study.

After leaving the Martial Arts Training Hall, Lu Sheng went directly to the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

He had originally planned to go out of the city, but it was already close to evening. If he went out now, he might not be able to get back in at night.

At night, even with the token given by Lan Linglong, it would be very troublesome to enter.

So Lu Sheng decided to cultivate at the dojo today.

Inside the venue.

Lu Sheng stood alone in the spacious hall. After taking a Blood Qi Pill, he immediately felt his entire Blood Essence being mobilized.

He then began to practice the "Arhat Fist."

This was a Blood Refining Realm martial art. Lu Sheng was currently only in the Blood Qi Realm. Even with the boost from [Fist Master], which doubled his comprehension of fist techniques, after a month, he had only managed to reach the Great Accomplishment stage.

He was still a distance away from Perfection…

Lu Sheng pushed his fist forward, strike after strike.

Golden radiance flickered gently on his fist. Faintly, it was as if one could hear a powerful Buddhist chant resounding within the training hall.

Outside the hall, many outer disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dojo could hear these chanting sounds.

When they looked at Lu Sheng's figure inside the hall, envy appeared in their eyes.

"As expected of Third Senior Brother. Just a month ago, he was only at the Fourth Layer of Blood Qi, and now he's already at the Seventh Layer of Blood Qi. Looking at Third Senior Brother's strength… even a Martial Artist at the Eighth Layer of Blood Qi might not be his match!"

"Isn't that right? A month ago, Third Senior Brother couldn't even get close to Senior Brother Wang Lin. But recently, when I watched Third Senior Brother spar with Senior Brother Wang Lin, he could even shake Senior Brother Wang Lin!"

"This talent… is truly terrifying!"

Outside the hall, the outer disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dojo whispered amongst themselves.

Lu Sheng's transformation over the past month was something they had all witnessed.

In just one month, Lu Sheng seemed to have undergone a complete metamorphosis, his progress being terrifyingly rapid, leaving many outer disciples dumbfounded.

"He's someone the Dojo Master took as a disciple, after all. It probably won't be long before Third Senior Brother breaks through to the Blood Refining Realm!"

"Once he enters the Blood Refining Realm, among us outer disciples, only a select few will be able to surpass Third Senior Brother!"

Everyone watched Lu Sheng as he continuously practiced his martial arts, discussing him softly.

Meanwhile, Lu Sheng inside the hall seemed oblivious to the discussions outside, diligently practicing the [Arhat Fist].

As the Blood Qi Pills dissolved, it was as if Lu Sheng's body possessed an inexhaustible supply of Blood Essence, supporting his prolonged cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Sheng's body paused slightly.

Immediately after, an extremely profound fluctuation spread from Lu Sheng's body.

Weng!!

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant erupted forcefully from Lu Sheng's body.

The magnificent sound spread far and wide, clearly audible even to the outer disciples outside the hall.

Upon hearing this chant, every single one of them displayed expressions of disbelief, their gazes snapping towards Lu Sheng's location.

They saw Lu Sheng slowly push his fist forward.

Dong!!

The air in front of him was instantly torn apart by an incredibly terrifying force, and the space ahead instantly turned into a vacuum.

Brilliant golden radiance continuously flashed on Lu Sheng's fist.

At this moment, Lu Sheng seemed to have transformed into a martial monk, exuding a serene aura while his fist radiated a fearsome killing intent.

"This is…"

Many outer disciples' pupils constricted slightly as they witnessed this scene.

"Buddha's light breaking through the body, a presence like an Arhat. This, this… this is clearly the sign of the [Arhat Fist] reaching Perfection!"

Suddenly, an outer disciple exclaimed.

Following this exclamation, gasps of disbelief echoed from all directions.

Many outer disciples looked at Lu Sheng with eyes filled with intense shock.

[Arhat Fist] Perfection!

What did that even mean?

It was important to remember that the [Arhat Fist] was a Blood Refining martial art. Even Martial Artists in the Blood Refining Realm would need a considerable amount of time to achieve even the introductory stage, let alone reach Perfection.

It could be said that for an ordinary Martial Artist in the Blood Refining Realm, reaching Perfection in a Blood Refining martial art would take years, at the very least.

And Lu Sheng…

He was merely in the Blood Qi Realm!

Not only had he reached Great Accomplishment in the [Arhat Fist] within a month, but just now… he had actually achieved Perfection in the [Arhat Fist]!

Such speed…

Such talent…

It was simply terrifying!

For a moment, besides shock, their eyes were filled entirely with reverence.

Lu Sheng's talent had completely won them over!

Meanwhile, Lu Sheng gradually emerged from his profound state. Feeling the changes within himself, a hint of pleasant surprise surged into Lu Sheng's eyes.

"The [Arhat Fist] has reached Perfection! Now, even if I face a Martial Arts Puppet at the Ninth Layer of Blood Qi again, I might be able to defeat it!"

Brilliant light flashed within Lu Sheng's eyes.

Even though the Arhat Fist had only progressed from Great Accomplishment to Perfection, the combat power boost it gave Lu Sheng was terrifying.

At least…

It was enough for Lu Sheng to defeat a Martial Arts Puppet at the Ninth Layer of Blood Qi. Of course, if it were a Martial Artist at the Ninth Layer of Blood Qi…

Even if he couldn't win, Lu Sheng would be able to hold his ground!

Thinking of this, the smile on Lu Sheng's face grew even more pronounced.

"Today's gains are quite good!"

Lu Sheng glanced outside the training hall and found that he had no idea how much time had passed. The sun in the sky was already dim, as if it were about to set.

"Is it evening already?"

Lu Sheng's brow twitched slightly. He then tidied up briefly, preparing to leave the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

However, as he walked out of the training hall, Lu Sheng noticed that the gazes of the outer disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dojo around him seemed to have changed.

"Is there something on my face?"

Lu Sheng muttered in confusion, touching the tip of his nose. Under the watchful eyes of the outer disciples, he slowly left the Heaven and Earth Dojo.
