Although the demons here exhibited near-immortality, Chen Wang did not draw any conclusions easily.

He still preferred to experiment himself, so he struck out with his palm again, unleashing a surge of Law Power that shattered the clay statue into pieces once more.

After Chen Wang smashed this thing dozens of times, it finally stopped moving.

However, after Chen Wang waited for a long time, the sand and soil seemed to start to stick together again.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Is this bastard really that hard to kill?"

He was somewhat unwilling to give up. When the clay sculpture was almost gathered together, flames emerged from his palm and burned fiercely.

Then, he made a hand Method Formula with his other hand, setting up an illusion.

This way, others wouldn't see a young man standing quietly by the fire in the darkness, his gaze somewhat complicated, with a clay statue in the fire.

If someone saw this scene in the middle of the night, they would be terrified.

Using the flames, Chen Wang burned the clay statue to ashes, confirming that there was no possibility of it ever coming back to life.

"This thing is actually afraid of fire, but these demons have different characteristics. I wonder what other demons are like."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

These things belong to the yin element, and he added some real fire to the flames just now, which is why they were burned to ashes.

"According to Zhang Decai's memory, this demon can deal with martial artists at the Meridian Opening Realm, but it's unknown whether it can handle Innate Martial Warrior. If even one of them is this troublesome, how does the imperial court deal with these things?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

This near-immortality is a real headache.

Hard to kill, fucking hard to kill!

After refining it completely, Chen Wang sensed an extremely special power.

This power was extremely pure, and when it landed on him, Chen Wang immediately felt an indescribable comfort, as if he were floating on clouds.

He sensed it and found that his Qi and Blood had improved, and not only that, his muscles and bones had also become stronger.

"What's going on? After completely killing these demons, the remaining aura improves people's physical condition?"

Chen Wang's eyes lit up. If that were the case, he wouldn't be sleepy anymore.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

News of martial arts competitions in Quyang City is also increasing.

The young masters who came to participate in the Little Martial Rankings have now gathered in the city, and it is said that Yang Ming has done a lot of things these days.

Inside the Xu Family,

At that moment, a blush-inducing sound came from a room, and several pieces of clothing were scattered on the floor.

The commotion inside the house didn't stop for a long time.

After a long time, the door was pushed open, and a girl walked out of the room.

The girl was wearing a purple strapless top with a very low neckline. Her face was flushed, her steps were a little weak, and her face felt hot.

She stood at the door, gently hugged the young man who had seen her off, tiptoed and kissed him, then ran away shyly.

This young girl was Xu Miaoyin, the eldest daughter of the Xu Family. She exuded youthful vitality, and when she ran, her chest bounced up and down, making her look somewhat dazzling.

The moonlight shone on the young man's face; it was Chen Wang.

Chen Wang was wearing an outer shirt, revealing his rock-hard abs.

"You're still too shy."

Chen Wang said with a smile.

He had a very exciting two weeks.

This wealthy young lady admires Chen Wang, a young swordsman, and has now been taken into Chen Wang household.

After she left Chen Wang's courtyard, Chen Wang closed the door, returned to the house, stretched gently, and then sat down at the table to pour himself a glass of water.

He was quite carefree and happy during his time at the Xu Family home. Half a month had passed, and he had gotten along well with the Xu Family mother and daughter.

"I should go see that old boxer tomorrow," Chen Wang murmured.

Madam Xu used her connections to finally find an old Martial Master lived in seclusion in Quyang City for Chen Wang.

This person was originally a Innate Martial Warrior, but later he was injured and became plagued by illness, so he went into seclusion in the city.

This old man was named Ning Huaian. He was a true Innate Martial Warrior, the kind who could have founded his own sect.

Madam Xu had to ask someone for help to find him, and she decided to visit him the next day to discuss the secret manual.

Chen Wang put down the water glass and then lay down on the bed.

He did not hide his affair with Xu Miaoyin, but told Madam Xu frankly.

To his surprise, Madam Xu didn't seem to value it particularly.

The Chu Dynasty had a somewhat open atmosphere, and it was a Martial Dao World without Confucianism.

In the mountains and fields, women are not ashamed even if they bathe naked in the water and are watched by men. Instead, they will show their bodies. In some remote places, it is common for several brothers to share a wife.

In wealthy and powerful families, such things are commonplace and quite chaotic.

Chen Wang felt quite carefree as he spoke with the mother and daughter, who seemed unconcerned.

The next day

Chen Wang and the elegant and beautiful Madam Xu arrived at the old boxer's home.

The old boxer's home was not wealthy; he only had an old woman to serve him.

When Chen Wang saw the old boxing master Ning Huaian, he was stunned for a moment.

Madam Xu had never met him; she had only learned about this old boxing master through an introducer, so she was somewhat surprised.

The old man had both legs intact, but he was lying in bed, seemingly paralyzed, and was emaciated, as if he was terminally ill.

"Are you Master Ning?" Chen Wang asked.

The old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes and nodded.

"You must be that Young Master Chen?"

Apparently, the introducer had given a brief overview of Chen Wang, but Ning Huaian, with his stubborn and unpleasant temper, insisted on meeting the young man himself.

Chen Wang nodded and said, "That's right."

The old boxer looked Chen Wang up and down with his cloudy eyes, but he had a rather peculiar feeling about him.

After a moment, he slowly said, "You've killed demons?"

Chen Wang was taken aback and said, "Senior, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

The old boxer grinned. "I'm crippled and old, but not stupid."

Madam Xu was somewhat surprised. She had heard of demons before, but had never seen one. When had Chen Wang ever killed a demon? Chen Wang smiled faintly and said without hesitation, "I encountered one before and killed it on the spot."

The old boxer asked, "How was he killed?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

Is this part of the transaction?

The old boxer shook his head and said, "No, just consider it satisfying an old man's curiosity."

Chen Wang said calmly, "Burn."

The old boxer seemed to understand upon hearing this, then frowned and said, "It's not that easy, but it is one method nonetheless."

Chen Wang asked, "Senior, what exactly do you know?"

A glint of gold flashed in the old boxer's cloudy eyes. "My illness is a result of fighting demons. The demonic energy invaded, and my cultivation gradually deteriorated."

"Some demons are easy to kill, such as Corpse Demon, which can be burned to death with fire."

"There are also Alluring Ghost. A martial artist's True Qi is powerful enough to kill them, but other demons are much harder to kill, such as Mountain God."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and asked, "What Mountain God?"

The old boxer spoke like a broken bellows, leaking air and coughing a few times.

At this moment, he said with difficulty, "It is a kind of clay statue. In temples, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, just like an ordinary Mountain God. I once encountered one, which was simply despair-inducing."

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat. Was the one he had encountered earlier the Mountain God? Judging from the old boxer's words, he seemed to think that he had encountered Corpse Demon.

He nodded calmly, "I see."

The old boxer said, "The Sky Demon Alliance is an extremely strange force; all demons belong to the Sky Demon Alliance."

At this point, he gave Chen Wang a meaningful look, coughed a few times, and said, "I hope this lady can excuse herself."

Madam Xu nodded. "Alright, then you two continue your conversation, I'll take my leave now."

She was extremely sensible and knew how to behave appropriately.

After Madam Xu left, Chen Wang said, "I'll be frank. I want to learn martial arts at the Innate Realm. Senior, just name your price. If it's within my power, I'll do it without hesitation."

The old man laughed and said, "Originally, I wanted to rip you off, as I can't easily pass on my skills. But now I've changed my mind."

Chen Wang asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The old boxer smiled and said, "You have killed demons, but you do not have martial arts at the innate level. Therefore, you are not from the One Prefecture, Three Divisions, and your lineage is not strong."

Chen Wang frankly admitted, "That's right."

The old boxing master smiled and said, "The martial art I learned is called the Five Elements Fist. Once you cultivate the Great Sun True Qi, you are considered to have entered the Innate Realm. It took me ten years back then. As for you, I don't know."

He shakily took a yellowed booklet from under him and handed it to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang took it. The cover had the three big characters "Five Elements Fist" written on it. The name was not impressive, but it was a genuine innate martial arts manual.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and said,

"Great Sun True Qi?"

The old boxing master said, "That's right. This Great Sun True Qi is extremely strong and yang. If you can cultivate it, it will gradually transform your own True Qi into this Great Sun True Qi, which is incredibly powerful."

Chen Wang nodded.

"In other words, as long as you cultivate the Great Sun True Qi, you have entered the Innate Realm."

The old boxer nodded and said, "Not bad."

Chen Wang said, "Are you really giving this to me?"

The old boxer nodded.

"Good!"

Chen Wang also answered very decisively.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old boxer.

Thank you.

The old boxer smiled and shook his head.

"I'm old, useless, and can't fight anymore. The future is for you young people to handle. Go ahead."

Chen Wang left the old boxing master's house with many feelings.

On Madam Xu way back, Madam Xu asked, "So? Did he agree?"

Chen Wang took out a booklet and said, "He just gave me this innate martial arts manual like this."

Madam Xu exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? You just got it all to myself?"

Chen Wang said, "That's right."

Madam Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because you killed demons before?"

Chen Wang nodded and said, "That makes sense. This old man is respectable."

Madam Xu chuckled softly, "Is it because he gave you this secret manual for free?"

Chen Wang chuckled to himself.

"Of course not. I sensed a certain persistence in him, though I can't quite put my finger on it."

Madam Xu smiled gently and left with Chen Wang without saying anything more.

When Chen Wang returned to the Xu Family, everyone in the Xu Family bowed to the two of them along the way.

Madam Xu was in charge of the family business. She was authoritative without being angry and, although she was not strict with her subordinates, she was very disciplined.

The two separated for the time being, Madam Xu said softly, "Take good care of yourself and make a list of any medicines or supplements you need. I'll have someone buy them for you."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "I understand."

Madam Xu then nodded faintly and left.

She is now in the prime of her life, graceful and voluptuous. Moreover, when she is not facing Chen Wang, her capable demeanor proves that she is a person who can manage such a huge business Xu Family.

At this moment, Chen Wang was in the room, flipping through the secret manual.

Although this martial arts manual is called Five Elements Fist, Chen Wang couldn't help but complain after reading it, "Who came up with this name? It's completely irrelevant!"

There is indeed a style of boxing here, with powerful and fierce force, but it is used to unblock the meridians and can open up several important acupoints on the body.

Chen Wang has a natural advantage in practicing this martial art. He has been practicing immortal Cultivation Method, and not only his Ren and Du meridians, but all the meridians and acupoints in his body have already been opened up. Therefore, he only needs to practice.

He cultivated this innate martial art with incredible speed, not to mention the foundation of his Qi and Blood, and physique he had built up before.

After reading it, Chen Wang immediately understood it completely. After practicing it several times, he mastered the Five Elements Fist.

Originally, he possessed True Qi within his body, and it was extremely powerful, far surpassing that of ordinary Meridian Opening Martial Warrior.

At this moment, he felt an even hotter True Qi being generated within his body.

Chen Wang swung his palm, and a golden stream of True Qi spread out, extremely powerful and yang, unlike the ordinary True Qi he had cultivated before.

Simply put, this means that the True Qi now has attributes; the True Qi used to be low-level and had no attributes.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

"You've mastered it?"

If the old man lying in the hospital bed knew that Chen Wang had mastered the Great Sun True Qi after only reading it a few times, he might go insane, become agitated, and even die suddenly.

At this moment, Chen Wang cultivated his first strand of Great Sun True Qi.

To cultivate the Great Sun True Qi, one needs other True Qi to continuously nourish it.

This was originally a very demanding process, and many martial arts practitioners were stuck at this stage, able to get to the basics but finding it difficult to advance any further.

After all, although it was said that True Qi was to be converted, True Qi was not one-to-one; it took a lot of ordinary True Qi to convert into a wisp of Great Sun True Qi.

This is an extremely terrifying expenditure.

Cultivating ordinary True Qi requires one to have strong Qi and Blood, and so on, making it an extremely slow process.

Chen Wang, however, was different. His Qi and Blood were incredibly robust, and his True Qi was also extremely surging. Therefore, he made rapid progress in cultivating the Great Sun True Qi.

In just half a day, he had cultivated the Great Sun True Qi to an astonishing level.

At this moment, after he activated his True Qi, his whole body shone with light, golden and radiant, like a Metal Man.

Chen Wang sensed that his current level of Great Sun True Qi was at least at the late stage of the Innate Realm as described in the manual.

However, Chen Wang had a question in his mind, "The Five Elements Fist records that when a late-stage Innate Realm cultivator releases their True Qi, there will be a faint golden light on their body. But the golden light on my whole body is so dazzling right now, what realm do I belong to?"

Chen Wang stroked his chin. "We should talk to that old boxing master again about martial arts. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure, even though he's not from my family."

Chen Wang thought to himself.
