Hong Decheng entered his study.
From a hidden spot, he drew out an exquisite long box.
Opening the long box, inside was a cultivation method!
Three large characters were written on it: "Dragon Subduing Fist"!
Hong Decheng's large hand gently brushed over the cultivation method, his mind filled with complex thoughts.
"If this Fang Chen is truly a peerless prodigy, capable of breaking through rapidly all the way, reaching perfection in Tiger Subduing Fist at such a young age, then I shall pass down this 'Dragon Subduing Fist' to him as well."
This "Dragon Subduing Fist" and "Tiger Subduing Fist" were originally from the same cultivation method scroll.
Unfortunately, the inheritor did not take good care of it, losing the most crucial part.
This led later generations to only be able to comprehend from this incomplete cultivation method, creating new techniques.
Ultimately, this superior cultivation method was understood by later generations into two intermediate cultivation methods.
These were "Dragon Subduing Fist" and "Tiger Subduing Fist," respectively.
The person who created these two cultivation methods once said, If a descendant with exceptional comprehension appears, perhaps it would be possible to cultivate both methods to perfection simultaneously.
And furthermore, based on these two cultivation methods, one could deduce the original superior martial art, "Dragon Tiger Subduing Fist"!
Alas, these two cultivation methods have been passed down to his generation, and no one has yet succeeded in achieving this.
Where are such individuals with exceptional comprehension easily found?
Furthermore, the ancestors had also established a rule, forbidding the easy transmission of both cultivation methods!
Young Hong Decheng saw that these two cultivation methods might never regain their former glory.
After much thought, he finally decided to open a martial arts school.
And this martial arts school would only teach Tiger Subduing Fist, which was a way to barely adhere to the ancestors' rules...
This martial arts school opened, and many years passed.
His Blood Essence had gradually declined, and the disciples he taught were replaced one after another.
Although among his many disciples, there were not a few with superior aptitude and outstanding talent, None could be considered to have exceptional comprehension, capable of deducing both cultivation methods.
Thus, Hong Decheng gradually gave up on this plan.
He only thought of earning more money and living the rest of his life in leisure.
But not long ago, that new disciple named Fang Chen truly gave him a great shock!
Initiation into Tiger Subduing Fist in one day! Such comprehension is rarely seen, undoubtedly exceptional!
Hong Decheng once thought he had finally found the successor his ancestors had desperately sought!
But the fact that Fang Chen's aptitude was mediocre caused his mood to fluctuate greatly.
In the end, only sighs remained.
What good is exceptional comprehension if the physical condition cannot keep up? It will not reach the realm of perfection, How can one then deduce the complete superior cultivation method!
Thus, Hong Decheng returned to his previous leisurely and lazy state.
He continued to lie comfortably on the rattan chair in the backyard, passing the time.
Only when he felt like it would he go to the front yard to instruct these disciples.
Until today, When Hong Decheng saw Fang Chen practicing his fist techniques again, the extinguished hope in his heart reignited.
If Fang Chen could truly break through all doubts and rapidly advance to the realm of perfection, Then the inheritance of the cultivation method might truly have hope!
But Hong Decheng also understood that Fang Chen's mediocre aptitude meant he would inevitably face difficulties in breaking through.
So Hong Decheng did not hold much expectation in his heart.
Cannot find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!
But these slight expectations were enough for Hong Decheng to personally pay attention to the final result six days later!
Four days after the wager was established, Fang Chen adjusted his schedule, striving to break through the Whirlwind Blade Technique tomorrow, and Tiger Subduing Fist on the morning of the sixth day.
This way, he would have higher combat power, in case anything unexpected happened immediately after breaking through.
This morning, On his way to the martial arts school, Fang Chen heard news of someone inexplicably disappearing again.
Fang Chen decided to ask Zhou Hai, perhaps he would know more specific details.
After a while, Just as Fang Chen finished practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist, he saw Zhou Hai finally arrive at the martial arts school.
[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +1]
Zhou Hai walked over with a smile, saying cheerfully, "Senior Brother, your precious saber is ready. You can come pick it up with me after practice this afternoon."
Fang Chen said gratefully, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"
Zhou Hai smiled, "Senior Brother is so capable. When I encounter difficulties in the future, you must help me out."
Then, Zhou Hai took out an elixir from his embrace and handed it to Fang Chen.
"Senior Brother, you need the assistance of an elixir when breaking through. I don't know when you'll break through, but it's impossible without an elixir."
"So, I'm advancing you the elixir from the bet. I hope you can successfully break through in a few days."
Fang Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Hai to go this far.
He noted all of this down in his heart, intending to repay Junior Brother Zhou when he had the chance.
However... Fang Chen didn't need the assistance of an elixir to break through. He could achieve it smoothly through the Proficiency Panel.
Once the experience was full, he would simply level up. There were no bottlenecks or difficulties at all.
But at that time, he couldn't reveal this abnormality.
After all, breaking through in twenty-four days was already astonishing enough.
If there was no external help, people would inevitably suspect that he might have some rare treasure on him!
In fact, making such a flamboyant bet carried a certain risk in itself.
After all, people wouldn't believe that Fang Chen, with mediocre aptitude, would progress so quickly.
Then others would suspect if he was even human, or if he possessed some kind of heavenly treasure?
It would inevitably attract covetous eyes.
So, displaying enough talent was sufficient; there was no need to reveal all his secrets.
The Whirlwind Blade Technique, and the fact that he didn't need external help to break through, were things Fang Chen planned to hide.
The first was a reliance in combat, and the second was to avoid raising too much suspicion from others.
Fang Chen took the elixir from Zhou Hai's hand. Fang Chen was quite familiar with this type of elixir.
This was the Hibernating Dragon Fern, which looked extremely similar to an unknown wild fern.
The reason Fang Chen knew was that his previous self had accidentally discovered this wild fern.
He had even conceived the idea of disguising this wild fern as Hibernating Dragon Fern to sell it.
Later, because everyone thought he was just a nobody and unwilling to believe him, it came to nothing.
But in reality, the unknown wild fern and the Hibernating Dragon Fern were indeed very similar.
To distinguish them, one would have to drip a martial artist's blood onto the Hibernating Dragon Fern.
When the martial artist's blood was dripped onto it, the Hibernating Dragon Fern would briefly reveal dark golden leaf-like veins, like a lurking golden dragon.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment, planning to use this unknown wild fern as a substitute when he broke through. This way, he could easily fool everyone.
Fang Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother!"
"By the way, Junior Brother, many people from our area have gone missing recently. Do you know why?"
