One day to enter the hall? What kind of concept is that!
The martial arts school's fastest record has always been two days to enter the hall!
Don't just look at the difference of one day! The speed is twice as fast! If you stretch it out, who knows how much faster it is!
Not to mention, most people might take seven or eight days to enter the hall!
Many disciples' hearts were no longer calm. Only then did they understand why Master Hong had such a big reaction!
Master Hong had only heard of such situations before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.
He was not the creator of the Tiger Subduing Fist, but merely a successor.
When he practiced the Tiger Subduing Fist, it took him two days to enter the hall!
This meant that Fang Chen's comprehension of the Tiger Subduing Fist was even higher than his!
He had misjudged him back then. He didn't expect this kid's comprehension to be so high!
Wang Yanshan, who was in the distance, still seemed somewhat disbelieving. He spoke out, "Fang Chen, Master Hong is asking you a question. Did you really enter the hall in one day?"
Only then did the many disciples react. Fang Chen hadn't admitted it himself yet. Perhaps Master Hong had misjudged him.
But Fang Chen simply nodded slightly, instantly clearing everyone's superfluous thoughts!
Wang Yanshan's expression instantly turned very ugly.
So Senior Brother Zhou wasn't lying to me. Fang Chen really entered the hall in one day.
How ridiculous it was that he had actually told Senior Brother Zhou that Fang Chen was not qualified to guide him before.
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt!
Qin Yun, who was beside him, was also very surprised. He had also thought that this Junior Brother Fang was just an ordinary disciple back then.
So he only gave him some Qi and Blood Pills. Now, looking back, he should have given him more good things back then.
At this moment, Jiang Qiutong's eyes were also shining with excitement. She was very curious about this Junior Brother Fang in her heart.
She couldn't help but develop the idea of befriending him.
Just then, Song Ming, who usually didn't talk much, suddenly spoke up, interrupting everyone's thoughts. His words seemed to be full of regret.
"What a pity, what a pity. Junior Brother Fang fits the Tiger Subduing Fist so well, but heaven only gave you mediocre aptitude."
"The Martial Path is ultimately about aptitude. Junior Brother Fang's potential is so limited. Perhaps... perhaps he won't even be able to break through to the First Realm of the Martial Path... It's truly a pity."
Jiang Qiutong also felt a bit regretful upon hearing this, and the idea of befriending him instantly vanished. After all, they were not people on the same path.
Wang Yanshan, who was beside her, suddenly remembered.
Fang Chen only had mediocre aptitude. His physical potential was limited, and breaking through would be difficult. What was the use of his comprehension? He probably wouldn't even be able to break through to the First Realm of the Martial Path!
His mood immediately improved.
However, he appropriately showed a look of regret on his face, as if he was sincerely feeling sorry for Fang Chen.
The reactions of the other disciples were more or less the same. Their moods instantly took a huge turn.
Fang Chen observed everyone's reactions one by one and finally looked at Zhou Hai, only to find that Zhou Hai's emotional changes were not significant.
After all, Zhou Hai had already been surprised and felt regretful before.
But even after that, Zhou Hai was still willing to treat him as a friend, which was enough to show something.
Master Hong, standing in front of him, also seemed to feel a great pity.
He suddenly thought, "Could it be that my assessment of his aptitude was wrong back then? Perhaps Fang Chen's aptitude is actually good, and I just misjudged him accidentally?"
With this thought, Master Hong reached out again, gently tapping Fang Chen's limbs, back, and torso, feeling his aptitude.
Everyone could see what the Master of the martial arts school was doing.
They all held their breath, wanting to see if things would take another turn!
After a short while, everyone saw Master Hong sigh heavily.
"It's still mediocre aptitude. I didn't misjudge it back then."
"What a pity. I thought... never mind..."
Master Hong shook his head and walked towards the backyard. With such a rollercoaster of emotions, he lost the mood to guide other disciples.
Fang Chen looked at Master Hong's dejected back, puzzled about what Master Hong had been about to say. Were there any hidden stories?
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, continuing to practice martial arts on his own.
This little interlude did not cause much fluctuation in Fang Chen's heart.
He couldn't reveal the matter of his panel, so he couldn't tell anyone that breaking through was actually very simple for him.
In this world, after thousands of years of martial arts development, the experience summarized by the ancestors was that to assess a person's martial arts potential, one looked at their aptitude.
Aptitude determines the difficulty of breaking through realms, and thus determines a person's upper limit.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
This deeply ingrained idea existed as common knowledge for everyone.
Fang Chen couldn't rely on his words alone to make people believe he had great potential.
Only by practicing martial arts! Continuously practicing martial arts! Constantly grinding proficiency!
Then break through the First Realm of the Martial Path, the Second Realm, all the way to the Third Realm!
Only then would everyone present completely refresh their perceptions!
Jiang Qiutong, watching from afar, saw that Fang Chen didn't show any signs of disappointment and felt a bit surprised.
"Unmoved by favor or disgrace, just constantly practicing martial arts. This Fang Chen truly has a firm heart for the Martial Path."
She rekindled her desire to befriend him. Such a person was worth becoming friends with.
Just as Jiang Qiutong was about to go find Fang Chen, Song Ming, standing beside her, seemed to guess what Jiang Qiutong intended to do. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Jiang Qiutong, and said, "Qiutong, he's just a clown seeking attention, a nobody. Why lower yourself to become friends with someone like that?"
"In my opinion, Fang Chen might not even enter the First Realm. He's destined to be on a different path from us in the future. Why bother with such unnecessary things?"
Jiang Qiutong frowned, seemingly annoyed by Song Ming's actions.
She shook off Song Ming's hand.
"Don't touch me."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Song Ming's face. He continued, "I'm about to break through to the Second Realm of the Martial Path in the next few days. Once I succeed, let's get married, how about it?"
Jiang Qiutong shook her head and directly refused him.
"No, I disagree."
Song Ming frowned. "We've had a marriage engagement since childhood. If you disagree, Uncle and Aunt won't be happy, will they?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qiutong couldn't help but think of her strict parents.
Her face showed a struggle, and she finally said, "The Third Realm. As long as you can reach the Viscera Realm, I will marry you directly. I won't disagree then."
A look of joy appeared on Song Ming's face.
"Okay, you said it. No take-backs."
Jiang Qiutong ignored him. Breaking through to the Third Realm of the Martial Path wasn't that easy.
The promise she made was just a delaying tactic.
Jiang Qiutong strongly disliked Song Ming's arrogant personality.
In his eyes, it seemed like besides his Song family, there was nothing in Baihe County that he deemed worthy of notice.
Furthermore, in Song Ming's gaze towards her, Jiang Qiutong saw no affection, only a greedy desire!
Therefore, Jiang Qiutong was strongly opposed to this marriage.
But her parents desperately wanted to curry favor with the Song family, as marrying into the Song family would greatly benefit the family's business.
So, her parents would never listen to her opinion!
Only by practicing martial arts! By possessing enough strength and walking further on the Martial Path, could she escape this fate!
Jiang Qiutong couldn't help but look at Fang Chen.
"He must also have a reason why he has to move forward, right?"
Song Ming, seeing Jiang Qiutong glance at Fang Chen again, became extremely angry.
Song Ming glared fiercely at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen looked at Song Ming, utterly bewildered, and cursed inwardly, "He's sick."
Zhou Hai walked over and said, "Senior Brother, that Song Ming cares a lot about Senior Sister Jiang. He might have been unhappy just now because he thought you caught Senior Sister Jiang's attention."
"You should know about the Song family, right? They are the largest aristocratic family in Baihe County, almost a power that covers the sky with one hand. Our Three Rivers Gang, though seemingly vast, has to bow its head obediently when encountering the Song family."
"Having grown up with such a background, Song Ming is naturally arrogant and looks down on everyone."
"Senior Brother Fang doesn't need to pay too much attention to him."
Fang Chen nodded and suddenly asked, "What realm is this Song Ming in?"
Zhou Hai replied, "I heard he's preparing to break through to the Second Realm of the Martial Path recently."
Fang Chen nodded.
He secretly took note of this sick individual in his heart.
When his cultivation reaches a higher level in the future, he'll give him a couple of slaps!
