Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was Fang Chen's eighteenth day at the martial arts school.
[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +1]!
[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +1]!
Fang Chen trained diligently without stopping. The panel steadily showed changes.
[Martial Arts]: Tiger Subduing Fist (Initiation 253/300); Whirlwind Blade Technique (Initiation 120/150)
Both martial arts were not far from minor accomplishment. In another five or six days, he would successfully break through.
At this moment, a sudden commotion could be heard.
"I heard Senior Brother Wang is about to break through!"
"He's reaching the Sinew and Bone Realm? As expected of Senior Brother Wang!"
"I didn't expect Senior Brother Wang to break through before Senior Brother Song!"
"I heard Master Hong will personally oversee Senior Brother Wang's breakthrough!"
Wang Yanshan, listening to the crowd's praise, smugly followed Hong Decheng into the backyard.
He held three or four elixirs, fully prepared for this breakthrough.
Hong Decheng looked at his disciple with some relief.
"Yanshan, you are the fastest among this batch of disciples to reach the limit of the First Realm."
"Your aptitude is close to top-tier. Breaking through to the Second Realm shouldn't be too difficult."
Wang Yanshan nodded, his heart filled with anticipation.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of that brat Fang Chen. He had almost been thoroughly humiliated by that kid before, and that incident had always bothered him.
Wang Yanshan sneered inwardly.
"The path of martial arts ultimately depends on aptitude. Now I'm about to break through to the Second Realm, while you, kid, might not even break through the First Realm."
Without further thought, Wang Yanshan swallowed an elixir and began circulating his Blood Essence, letting it permeate into his sinews and bones!
Hong Decheng watched from the side, also filled with anticipation for Wang Yanshan.
The numerous disciples outside lost the will to train. They were all eagerly awaiting the result of Wang Yanshan's breakthrough.
Zhou Hai walked up to Fang Chen and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Fang, do you think he can succeed?"
Fang Chen finished this round of punches first.
[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +1]!
After retracting his fist, Fang Chen looked at Zhou Hai and said in a low voice, "I don't know. But I curse him to fail."
Just then, a voice suddenly called out, "He's out! Senior Brother Wang is out!"
The disciples swarmed forward, looking curiously at Wang Yanshan.
A disciple asked, "Senior Brother, did you succeed? Are you in the Sinew and Bone Realm now?"
Hearing the disciple's question, Wang Yanshan abruptly raised his gloomy face, a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth.
He glared fiercely at the disciple.
The disciple was startled and quickly retreated.
Seeing Wang Yanshan's state, the other disciples weren't foolish. They all guessed the outcome.
Everyone dispersed and returned to their own positions.
At this time, anyone who dared to provoke Wang Yanshan would surely bring bad luck upon themselves.
Zhou Hai, witnessing this scene, looked slightly surprised.
"Did Senior Brother actually predict correctly? Isn't Wang Yanshan's aptitude close to top-tier?"
He approached Fang Chen and said cautiously, "Uh, Senior Brother Fang, you know I'm good to you. When I break through in the future, please don't curse me, okay!"
Fang Chen chuckled, "I was just talking nonsense. You actually believed me?"
Just then, Wang Yanshan suddenly strode over.
"Brat, what are you laughing at?"
Fang Chen looked utterly bewildered.
Wang Yanshan had looked down on him multiple times, and now he was inexplicably picking a fight. Fang Chen was too lazy to endure it any longer.
Damn it, he can't even break through the Second Realm, and he's still barking like a dog here?!
This time, Fang Chen chose to retort directly!

"Are you sick?"
"You failed to break through your realm, and you expect others to be sad with you? What's wrong with me laughing? It's not me who failed to break through, why can't I laugh?!"
"Also, have you been staring at me the whole time? Otherwise, how would you know immediately that I laughed? What the hell are you trying to do staring at me like that, are you sick!"
Wang Yanshan hadn't expected Fang Chen to dare to directly call him sick.
Every time Fang Chen said "failed to break through," it felt like he was rubbing salt into Wang Yanshan's wounds.
Wang Yanshan's anger continued to rise.
He hadn't expected Fang Chen to end up saying he was staring at him the whole time!
In fact, after failing to break through, he had indeed been staring at Fang Chen.
Because he had nowhere to vent his anger and unwillingness, he set his target on Fang Chen, who had annoyed him greatly before!
Who would have thought that before he could vent his anger, Fang Chen would actually increase his anger by a few more points!
Wang Yanshan could no longer stand it!
He strode forward a few steps, charging forward at a very fast speed, grabbed Fang Chen's clothes, and lifted him straight up!
Gritting his teeth, Wang Yanshan asked, "Kid, do you want to die?"
Fang Chen was not flustered at all.
In this martial arts school, Wang Yanshan couldn't possibly kill him, unless Hong Decheng wanted to ruin his reputation.
Fang Chen looked at the burly Wang Yanshan and sneered, "Useless trash, if you're so capable, then break through your realm!"
Hearing this, Wang Yanshan laughed in anger, "Brat, you say it as if you can break through your realm with ease?"
Fang Chen chuckled, "I can break through my realm with ease, unlike trash like you."
Fang Chen calling him trash word after word made Wang Yanshan's veins bulge, wishing he could kill Fang Chen on the spot.
He only regretted that he couldn't make a move easily within the martial arts school!
Meanwhile, Zhou Hai had already quietly slipped away to the backyard to find Hong Decheng.
Song Ming, from a distance, suddenly said, "Senior Brother Wang, you can't make a move easily in this martial arts school. I advise you to think twice."
"However, I do have a suggestion."
"Since Junior Brother Fang is so confident about breaking through his realm, why don't you two make a bet?"
Wang Yanshan asked, "How do we bet? I can't wait to beat him up right now!"
Song Ming chuckled lightly, "If Junior Brother Fang fails to break through, you can beat him up soundly, and he won't be allowed to fight back, as long as he doesn't die."
"If Junior Brother Fang successfully breaks through..."
Fang Chen smiled and finished Song Ming's sentence, "Just give me an elixir."
Song Ming's face showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Fang Chen to agree so readily!
In fact, up until just now, Song Ming had thought Fang Chen was just being boastful.
He had been thinking of using this opportunity in front of everyone to push Fang Chen into a corner through the bet!
If Fang Chen refused the bet, it would be an indirect admission that he wasn't confident about breaking through and had just been bragging.
This would cause him to lose face in front of the many disciples, and naturally, he would also lose face in front of Jiang Qiutong!
Therefore, Fang Chen had no choice but to accept the bet.
And with Fang Chen's mediocre aptitude, he would most likely fail to break through, and then he would be severely beaten by Wang Yanshan, still losing face.
So Song Ming felt that no matter what, Fang Chen would be taught a lesson.
He originally thought that with this move, he could directly use Wang Yanshan to make Fang Chen spectacularly fail!
And at the same time, completely ruin his image in Jiang Qiutong's heart.
Who would have thought that Fang Chen seemed truly full of confidence, even directly taking over his words and asking Wang Yanshan for an elixir?
Was he pretending, or did he truly have something to rely on?
