Fatty Han could thrive in the Black Market, even almost monopolizing the Demon Meat business, so he naturally had some skill!
The Sky Swallowing Skill he cultivated was said to be the best for accumulating Qi and Blood. His plump body now seemed to have transformed into muscle, containing boundless True Force, almost surpassing Fang Xi before his breakthrough!
Furthermore, in that overwhelming punch, his body weighing several hundred jin added terrifying propulsion to the attack!
"Not bad, not bad. Your Martial Arts are stronger than Chunyu's and Qiao Wuchang's, second only to Linghu Yang!"
Fang Xi laughed heartily and threw out a palm strike.
Bang!
The entire wooden hut shook, and a large amount of dust rained down.
Fatty Han was sent flying back even faster, landing heavily on the ground!
Crash!
A large pit appeared on the ground, and all the furniture in the wooden hut shattered.
Fatty Han's eyes widened. Ignoring his injuries, he muttered, "True Energy? You can actually break through to Martial Master? How is that possible?"
He clearly had collected and practiced so many third-rate martial arts, yet he could still break through to Martial Master. This was simply unbelievable!
"Haha, perhaps my martial foundation is strong enough, and I have extraordinary talent."
Fang Xi replied with a laugh.
"Indeed... In the vast world, there are always some people who appear to break the rules."
Fatty Han scrambled to his feet, his large hands like fans as he patted the dust off his body.
"It sounds like you've met such people before?" Fang Xi's interest was piqued.
"I've only heard of a few during my travels... It's nothing." Fatty Han waved his hand and asked seriously, "I'll give you the Taisui, and you'll take me out?"
"Exactly!"
Fang Xi nodded.
In the Great Liang World, he felt that Yao Beast meat was the most likely to be accepted by the Green Bamboo Mountain Market.
Of course, True Force manuals might fetch a higher price, but Fang Xi would never let them go. Those were his trump cards!
Fatty Han's eyes narrowed slightly. "Deal! But I need to bring my family along."
"Coincidentally, I also need to bring some people."
Fang Xi nodded. "However, you've added a condition, so I'll add one too. Give me the Taisui now!"
"Alright!"
Fatty Han narrowed his small eyes and suddenly rolled to a corner of the wooden hut, digging with his large hands like shovels.
A moment later, he dug out a white spherical mass and tossed it over. "Here!"
Fang Xi took it and found it was a meatball with a wound from where it had been cut previously, which had already healed significantly.
"This Taisui was a rare Exotic Demon discovered by Old Han back then. It has little offensive power but incredibly strong self-healing and growth rates! As long as you feed it enough food and water daily, it will grow meat rapidly..."
Fatty Han's old face twitched.
Fang Xi pressed it and found the Taisui was soft and felt great in his hand.
Moreover, the meat felt the same as what he usually ate, so he nodded. "When it's time to leave, I'll send you a message. You'll know where to find me!"
He didn't believe this Fatty Han didn't know his identity.
After all, the wooden token from their first transaction was a crucial clue.
"White Cloud Martial Arts School, huh? I got it..."
Fatty Han sat back down, looking utterly dejected and desolate.
But to survive, there was no other way.
White Cloud Martial Arts School grounds.
Mu Canglong looked at a post in his hand and sneered, "The Three Flowers Martial Arts School is getting desperate..."
"Father, what's going on?"
Mu Piaomiao looked at her father.
"Before, Yuan He Mountain had a way out of the city, so these martial arts schools eagerly flocked to them, sending food, manuals, and women... Who knew that just a few days later, Yuan He Mountain was targeted and hunted. Today... someone dared to go to the Yuan He Mountain encampment only to find it empty..."
Mu Canglong put down the post with a cold smile. "Now that they have no other options, they're calling for a martial arts school alliance, but they've set their sights on our savings."
"Hmph, a bunch of scoundrels!" Mu Piaomiao's cheeks flushed with anger.
"Never mind, people are always like this. Originally, some Martial Hall Masters wanted to tear down the facade, but they quieted down after seeing your senior brother's iron posts..."
Mu Canglong said with some pride.
His disciple, reaching the peak of True Force at such a young age, truly brought him honor.
It was a pity... his path forward was already set.
This is the sorrow of practicing third-rate martial arts.
"Mas... Master! Something's wrong..."
At this moment, Hao Lan stumbled in, his face filled with panic.
"What happened?" Mu Canglong asked calmly in the face of danger.
"Someone is challenging the pavilion!"
Hao Lan caught his breath and continued, "It's 'Zheng Tianbao'!"
"Zheng Tianbao?"
Mu Canglong was taken aback.
He had certainly heard of the other's reputation.
This Zheng Tianbao was a lone martial artist, skilled in 'Flying Cloud Skill', unique in his movement techniques, acting righteously or evilly, and possessed terrifying strength, with a record of escaping from True Energy martial masters!
The key was, this person wasn't a Martial Hall Master, so why was he here?
"Let's go and see!"
Mu Canglong steadied himself and walked to the main entrance, finding that the disciples of the Martial Arts School had all come out.
Tang Xuan and Liu Taotao were gathered together, looking nervously at someone outside the door.
The person was wearing a black robe, tall and slender, with a slightly pointed chin, giving an impression of harshness. It was Zheng Tianbao!
Beside Zheng Tianbao were several Martial Hall Masters.
Mu Canglong recognized them with a glance and was furious: "Xu Mingjue of Three Flowers Martial Arts School, Zhang Tianba of Red Rock Martial Arts School... You actually invited an outsider to take action?"
"Heh heh, that's not right, Pavilion Master Mu. We just heard that a martial artist wanted to challenge your esteemed disciple, so we came to watch the excitement."
Zhang Tianba, who looked rough but was actually sinister and known as 'Poisonous Snake', said with a grin.
They had been coveting the White Cloud Martial Arts School's resources for a long time but were wary of the Martial Arts School having two martial artists, especially Fang Xi, whose True Force was unlike that of an ordinary person.
This time, they had made up their minds, attached themselves to Zheng Tianbao, and came together to cause trouble!
"If you want to challenge, please wait. Our senior disciple isn't here."
Liu Taotao blurted out.
"Heh heh, no matter, no matter... If he's not here, we'll wait. Even if we have to wait ten or eight days, it won't matter, but it will trouble Pavilion Master Mu to entertain us."
Zheng Tianbao laughed heartily and was about to enter the Martial Arts School.
To put it bluntly, he was also persuaded because he didn't have enough food.
After all, True Force martial artists had extraordinary Qi and Blood, and their appetites were equally terrifying!
"That goes without saying!"
Mu Canglong's cheeks twitched slightly as he looked at the disciples following behind Zhang Tianba, secretly lamenting in his heart.
This way, the White Cloud Martial Arts School would be eaten dry!
When Fang Xi returned, this was the scene he saw.
"What? Is our Martial Arts School preparing to open a communal kitchen?"
He looked at the martial artists who had already started raiding the kitchen, feeling a bit speechless.
In the past, these high-and-mighty martial artists would never have presented such an amusing sight.
They were fighting over a pot of food!
"You are Fang Xi?"
Zheng Tianbao put down his chopsticks and laughed, "We came to challenge, and your master is entertaining us, isn't that right?"
"I've seen many beggars, but this is the first time I've seen someone freeloading to this extent."
Fang Xi nodded and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Zheng Tianbao.
"What?"
Zheng Tianbao was greatly alarmed.
His Flying Cloud Skill focused on movement techniques, but he was still a step behind this young man!
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
Fang Xi casually slapped out a palm.
Zheng Tianbao raised his arm to block.
Crack!
Instantly, he felt as if this palm strike carried multiple forces!
There was a poisonous force, a twisting force, and even a lightning force... making half of his body numb.
Pfft!
The next moment, Fang Xi broke Zheng Tianbao's arm and sent him flying.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianba dropped his rice bowl in shock. It hit the ground and shattered instantly...
Half an hour later.
"Junior Brother, you've really... become a Martial Master?"
Mu Piaomiao, recalling Fang Xi's divine display moments ago, how he had crippled Zhang Tianba and the others in just a few moves, couldn't help but have her eyes sparkle.
"Yes!"
Fang Xi smiled and nodded, admitting it.
"Good!"
Mu Canglong let out a loud roar, tears welling in his tiger-like eyes. "Our White Cloud Martial Arts School... has actually produced a Martial Master! With a third-rate martial art, there's no longer no path forward! What are you all standing around for?"
Scolded by him, Hao Lan, Liu Taotao, and the others quickly bowed and shouted, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on breaking through to True Energy and achieving Martial Master!"
"It was just a fortunate coincidence."
Fang Xi knew how difficult it was for martial artists practicing third-rate martial arts in the native world to break through.
Besides those born with extraordinary talent, those who were truly gifted by heaven, one could only cheat like he did.
He glanced around and found that after all irrelevant people were driven away, his voice became serious. "Master Mu... we should now consider how to get out of here."
"Get out? Easier said than done," Mu Canglong said with a bitter smile. "Linghu Yang once said he had a way, but then Yuan He Mountain was destroyed..."
As he spoke, he looked at Fang Xi, feeling that it was highly possible this disciple was involved.
But Mu Canglong was a smart man, and he said nothing.
Fang Xi also appreciated his attitude and said, "I once met a Daoist priest who told me I would face a deadly trial in the future, and only a spiritual talisman could resolve it... So, I spent ten thousand taels of gold to buy that talisman from him... Thinking back now, it might have been referring to today."
"Ten thousand taels of gold?!" Mu Canglong's mouth twitched, but he felt this was exactly the kind of thing this disciple would do!
After all, he was the one who bought the thousand taels of gold worth of Pill Medicine before!
"Where is that talisman?" Mu Piaomiao, truly believing him, quickly asked.
"At my old house. I'll go back and look for it tomorrow..."
Fang Xi yawned.
When he had saved up enough Spirit Stones and bought a 'Forbidden Breaking Talisman', he would naturally find it
