Tai Sui (Please Recommend)

Fatty Han had made a name for himself in the black market and had even nearly monopolized the Demon Meat trade, so he naturally had some ability!

The Sky Swallowing Skill he cultivated was reputed to be the foremost technique for accumulating qi and blood. At this moment, his entire mass of fat seemed to have transformed into muscle, containing boundless True Energy that nearly surpassed Fang Xi's before his breakthrough!

Moreover, amid that fist's overwhelming momentum, his several-hundred-pound body had added terrifying driving force to the punch!

"Not bad, not bad. Your Martial Arts are stronger than Chunyu's and Qiao Wuchang's, surpassed only by Linghu Yang!"

Fang Xi burst out laughing and struck out with one palm.

Bang!

The entire wooden hut trembled, and large amounts of dust pattered down.

Fatty Han flew backward at even greater speed, landing heavily on the ground!

Boom!

A huge pit appeared in the floor, and every piece of furniture inside the hut shattered.

Fatty Han, however, merely widened his eyes. Ignoring his injuries, he muttered, "True Energy? You actually managed to break through to Martial Master? How is that possible?"

He had clearly gathered and practiced so many third-rate Martial Arts, yet he had still managed to break through to Martial Master. It was simply inconceivable!

"Haha, perhaps my Martial Dao foundation is strong enough, and I'm exceptionally gifted."

Fang Xi answered with a laugh.

"Indeed... In the Great Thousand World, there are always some people who appear solely to shatter common sense."

Fatty Han climbed to his feet in a sorry state. His large hands, broad as palm-leaf fans, patted the dust from his body.

"From the sound of it, you seem to have met people like that before?" Fang Xi became somewhat interested.

"I only heard of a few while traveling in the past... It's nothing worth mentioning." Fatty Han waved his hand, then asked solemnly, "I'll give you Tai Sui. You'll take me out?"

"Precisely!"

Fang Xi nodded.

In the Great Liang World, he felt that what Green Bamboo Mountain Market was most likely to accept now was Yao Beast Meat.

Of course, a True Energy manual might fetch an even higher price, but Fang Xi absolutely would not release one. That was his trump card!

Fatty Han narrowed his eyes slightly. "Deal! But I want to bring my whole family."

"That works out. I also need to bring some people."

Fang Xi nodded. "However, since you've added a condition, I'll add one too. Give me Tai Sui now!"

"Fine!"

Fatty Han narrowed his tiny eyes, then suddenly rolled to the corner of the wooden hut and began digging with both hands, which were like shovels.

After a moment, he dug out a white ball and casually tossed it over. "Here!"

Fang Xi caught it and found that it was a Meatball. There were wounds on it from where flesh had previously been cut away, but they had already healed more than halfway.

"This Tai Sui was an Exotic Demon Old Han went to great lengths to discover back then. It barely has any offensive ability, but its self-healing and growth rates are astonishingly strong! As long as you feed it enough food and water every day, it'll rapidly grow more flesh..."

Fatty Han's old face twitched.

Fang Xi pressed the Tai Sui and found it soft and springy, with an excellent texture.

Moreover, its flesh was identical to what he usually ate. He nodded. "When it's time to leave, I'll send you a message. You know where to find me!"

He refused to believe that Fatty Han didn't know his identity.

After all... the wooden token from their first transaction had been a crucial clue.

"White Cloud Martial Arts School? I understand..."

Fatty Han sat back down, looking utterly dejected and desolate.

But to stay alive, there was no other choice.

White Cloud Martial Arts School's headquarters.

Mu Canglong looked at a letter in his hand, a cold smile appearing on his face. "Three Flowers Martial Arts School and the others are getting desperate..."

"Father, what happened?"

Mu Piaomiao looked at her father.

"Previously, Yuan He Mountain had a way to leave the city, so these Martial Arts Schools eagerly flocked over, sending food, manuals, and women... Who would have thought that only a few days later, Yuan He Mountain would be hunted down. Today... someone boldly went to Yuan He Mountain's headquarters, only to discover that Yuan He Mountain was already empty..."

Mu Canglong put down the letter with a cold laugh. "Now that they have no other options, they're shouting about forming a Martial Arts School alliance. But what they really have their eyes on is our stockpile."

"Hmph, a bunch of bastards!" Mu Piaomiao's cheeks flushed with anger.

"Forget it. People are always like this. One Martial Hall Master originally wanted to tear off all pretense of cordiality, but after seeing your Eldest Senior Brother's iron stake, he quieted down..."

Mu Canglong looked somewhat smug.

His own disciple had reached the pinnacle of True Energy at such a young age, truly bringing him great honor.

Unfortunately... his path ahead had also already been fixed.

That was the sorrow of practicing third-rate Martial Arts.

"Master... Master! This is bad..."

At this moment, Hao Lan stumbled in, his face filled with panic.

"What happened?" Mu Canglong remained calm in the face of danger and shouted.

"Someone has come to challenge the school!"

Hao Lan recovered his breath and continued, "It's 'Zheng Tianbao'!"

"Zheng Tianbao?"

Mu Canglong froze.

He had naturally heard of the man's reputation.

Zheng Tianbao was a wandering Martial Artist skilled in the Flying Cloud Skill. He stood apart in terms of movement techniques, and his conduct was both righteous and demonic. His strength was extremely fearsome—he had even escaped alive from beneath the hands of a True Energy Martial Master!

More importantly, he was not a Martial Hall Master. Why had he come as well?

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Mu Canglong steadied himself and walked to the main gate, where he found that all the school's disciples had come out.

Tang Xuan and Liu Taotao stood together, nervously watching a man outside.

The man wore a black robe and had a tall, slender build. His chin was slightly pointed, giving him a harsh appearance. He was none other than Zheng Tianbao!

Several Martial Hall Masters stood beside Zheng Tianbao as well.

After identifying them, Mu Canglong flew into a rage. "Xu Mingjue of Three Flowers Martial Arts School, Zhang Tianba of Red Rock Martial Arts School... You actually invited outsiders to make a move?"

"Hehe, Martial Hall Master Mu, that isn't quite right. We merely heard that a Martial Artist wanted to challenge your esteemed disciple, so we came especially to watch the excitement."

Zhang Tianba looked coarse, but his mind was poisonous. Known as the "Venomous Snake," he replied with a chuckle.

They had long been coveting White Cloud Martial Arts School's supplies, but they had been wary of a school with two Martial Artists—especially Fang Xi, whose True Energy was practically inhuman.

This time, they had hardened their hearts, latched onto Zheng Tianbao, and come together to cause trouble!

"If you want to issue a challenge, please wait. Our Eldest Senior Brother isn't here."

Liu Taotao blurted it out.

"Hehe, no problem, no problem... If he isn't here, we'll wait. Even ten days or half a month would be fine. We'll just have to trouble Martial Hall Master Mu to host us."

Zheng Tianbao laughed and moved to enter the school.

To put it plainly, he had been persuaded because his food supply was running low.

After all, True Energy Martial Artists possessed extraordinary qi and blood, and their appetites were equally terrifying!

"Of course!"

Mu Canglong's cheek twitched slightly as he looked at the group of disciples following behind Zhang Tianba and secretly groaned.

At this rate, they would eat White Cloud Martial Arts School completely bare!

When Fang Xi returned, this was the scene he saw.

"What? Are we planning to open a communal dining hall at our Martial Arts School?"

He looked at several Martial Artists who had already begun raiding the kitchen, feeling speechless.

In the past, these lofty Martial Artists would absolutely never have produced such an amusing sight.

They were actually fighting over a single pot of food!

"You're Fang Xi?"

Zheng Tianbao set down his bowl and chopsticks and laughed. "We came to challenge you, and your master gave us some hospitality. Isn't that only proper?"

"I've seen plenty of people begging for food, but this is the first time I've seen someone freeload to such an extent."

Fang Xi nodded, and in the blink of an eye, his figure appeared before Zheng Tianbao.

"What?"

Zheng Tianbao was horrified.

The Flying Cloud Skill focused on movement techniques in the first place, yet he had still lost to this young man by a step!

"Since you're here, don't leave!"

Fang Xi casually sent a slap flying.

Zheng Tianbao raised his arm to block.

Crack!

In an instant, he felt as though that palm carried layer upon layer of force!

There was poisonous force, twisting force, and even a streak of thunder force... leaving half his body numb.

Pfft!

The next moment, Fang Xi broke Zheng Tianbao's arm and flung his entire body away.

Seeing this, the rice bowl in Zhang Tianba's hand fell in fright, smashing onto the floor and instantly breaking into pieces...

Half an hour later.

"Junior Brother, you really... became a Martial Master?"

Mu Piaomiao recalled how Fang Xi had displayed overwhelming might just now, crippling Zhang Tianba and the others in only a few moves. Her eyes shone brilliantly.

"Yes!"

Fang Xi smiled and nodded, acknowledging it.

"Good!"

Mu Canglong let out a great shout, tears glistening in his tiger eyes. "Our White Cloud Martial Arts School... actually produced a Martial Master! Third-rate Martial Arts don't mean there's absolutely no road forward! What are you waiting for?"

After being reprimanded, Hao Lan, Liu Taotao, and the others quickly bowed and shouted, "Congratulations to Eldest Senior Brother on breaking through to True Energy and achieving the Martial Master realm!"

"It was merely a fortuitous coincidence."

Fang Xi knew very well how difficult it was for Martial Artists in the native world who practiced third-rate Martial Arts to break through.

Aside from those peerless geniuses born with extraordinary gifts, the kind favored by Heaven itself, they could only cheat the way he had.

He glanced around and saw that all unrelated people had been driven away. His voice also turned solemn. "Master Mu... we should now consider how to get out."

"Get out? Easier said than done." Mu Canglong gave a bitter laugh. "Linghu Yang once said she had a way, but Yuan He Mountain was later wiped out..."

As he spoke, he looked toward Fang Xi, feeling that the possibility of this disciple making a move was very high.

But Mu Canglong was an intelligent man. He said nothing.

Fang Xi also appreciated his attitude and began, "I once encountered a Daoist. He told me that I would fall into a Death Tribulation in the future, and that only a spirit talisman could resolve it... So I spent ten thousand taels of gold to buy that spirit talisman from him... Thinking about it now, perhaps what it answered was precisely today."

"Ten thousand taels of gold?!" Mu Canglong's mouth twitched, but he felt that this was exactly the sort of thing this disciple could do!

After all, the medicinal pills worth a thousand taels of gold had also been purchased by him!

"Where is that spirit talisman?" Mu Piaomiao truly believed him and hurriedly pressed him for an answer.

"At my old residence. I'll look for it when I go back tomorrow..."

Fang Xi yawned.

Whenever he had accumulated enough spirit stones to buy the Forbidden Breaking Talisman, that would naturally mean he had found it...
