Hong Decheng's Astonishment

He had a guess in his heart, "This is no longer a matter of cultivation method compatibility... this is absolute comprehension!"

"Excellent comprehension applicable to any martial art!"

But Hong Decheng felt that this guess was too absurd.

Could such a genius appear in a small county town like this?

And he, Hong Decheng, just happened to encounter him?

Even if his comprehension was excellent, Fang Chen only had mediocre aptitude. Why was his realm progression so fast?!

Hong Decheng squinted at Fang Chen, his mind racing, "Could it be that he practiced this martial art a long time ago?"

"No, Fang Chen comes from a poor family. He shouldn't have had the opportunity to come into contact with other martial arts..."

Hong Decheng rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"This disciple has too many secrets! I can't figure it out at all!"

"Looking at it now, the Dragon Subduing Fist is indeed suitable for a disciple with such excellent comprehension."

"Let's wait and see... I wonder how quickly he can reach the Martial Dao Third Realm."

While Hong Decheng was lost in thought, the disciples outside were also restless.

No one was in the mood to practice martial arts now.

Even Jiang Qiutong, who prided herself on her firm martial heart, was standing aside waiting for the final result.

Jiang Qiutong never expected that she had misunderstood Fang Chen.

She originally thought Fang Chen had only agreed to the bet to save face.

Now, it seemed Fang Chen clearly had something to rely on.

Thinking about how she had advised Fang Chen to put aside his pride a few days ago, Jiang Qiutong felt a little embarrassed.

"I wonder what he was thinking at the time... Did he think I was meddling?"

Jiang Qiutong sighed.

Although she had indeed misunderstood Fang Chen, it didn't mean Fang Chen could definitely break through.

"Mediocre aptitude..."

Jiang Qiutong muttered, completely unaware of Song Ming's gaze beside her.

Song Ming felt extremely jealous.

"Sigh, how am I inferior to that peasant!"

At this moment, In the backyard, Fang Chen was feeling the surge of blood essence within his body, executing each move of the Tiger Subduing Fist with precision!

Gradually, Fang Chen became completely immersed in the movements, as if he had truly transformed into a fierce tiger!

After a while, "Hah!"

Fang Chen delivered the final punch with sharp force, feeling an unparalleled sense of exhilaration!

[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +1]!

The panel suddenly refreshed, [Tiger Subduing Fist Minor Accomplishment (0/800)]!

Fang Chen carefully felt the changes in his body.

His strength had increased significantly again! Even more than the bonus from the Whirlwind Blade Technique yesterday!

Fang Chen looked at his arms and found that the blood essence swirling around them seemed to have become more concentrated.

The toughness of his skin and muscles should have also greatly improved!

As expected, practicing more martial arts could bring more enhancements to the body!

Fang Chen felt joy in his heart and looked towards Hong Decheng, noticing the latter staring at him with a look of surprise.

"Master Hong, is something wrong?"

Hong Decheng snapped back to reality, his expression returning to calm.

"It's nothing, I was just a little surprised."

He was indeed very surprised at the moment.

Hong Decheng could clearly feel that Fang Chen's breakthrough was a natural progression, There was no hesitation or delay whatsoever!

This is an incredibly unbelievable situation!

Normally, when most people practice martial arts, they have some flaws in their stances, more or less.

Even those taught by famous masters are the same.

Because everyone's physical condition is different, a standard posture will have subtle variations on different people.

Of course, these differences don't really have a big impact, they only cause some delay when breaking through.

Besides flaws in stances affecting breakthroughs, there's another situation:

That is, the cultivated Blood Essence has a certain deviation from the true critical point!

This situation is also very common.

Even an old hand like Hong Decheng can only get a general idea, knowing if a disciple is near the critical point.

There will be some deviation, and this deviation will cause delays during breakthroughs.

The last point is aptitude.

If one's physical condition is poor and not suitable for practicing martial arts, the delay will be very significant!

But just now...

Hong Decheng felt he might have been seeing things.

How could there be such a smooth breakthrough?!

It was as if every aspect was done perfectly, with absolutely no sign of delay!

It was so smooth, it could only be described as water flowing into its natural course!

At this moment, Hong Decheng's mind was not as calm as his expression suggested.

"This disciple is too strange, how can this be... should I call him a heaven-blessed prodigy?"

"Can someone with below-average aptitude be like this?"

Hong Decheng was filled with doubt. He couldn't help but doubt himself again.

"Did I misjudge before? Is his aptitude actually good? It's not like I could have misjudged twice..."

He was suspicious and, after thinking about it, decided to check his aptitude again.

Hong Decheng looked at Fang Chen and said with a smile, "Come here, let me check your aptitude again!"

Although Fang Chen was confused, he still stepped forward and let Hong Decheng examine him.

Hong Decheng's hands moved forcefully over Fang Chen's limbs, back, torso, and other areas.

After a while, Hong Decheng still seemed unconvinced, so he re-examined him again.

Fang Chen felt Hong Decheng's grip was a bit strong, and it hurt a bit since he was only in the Skin and Muscle Realm.

After some more time, Hong Decheng sighed and murmured, "This isn't right! This can't be right? Four aptitude checks, all indicating below-average aptitude... but... it's too strange!"

After thinking about it, Hong Decheng found he still couldn't figure it out and secretly thought, "Forget it, I'll leave it at that for now. I'll observe him further later."

Hong Decheng turned to Fang Chen and said, "You are very good. If you have any questions in the future, you can come directly to the backyard to ask me!"

Fang Chen's heart leaped with joy, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Master Hong!"

Meanwhile, In the front courtyard, everyone had been waiting impatiently.

Zhou Hai also started to feel a bit worried, "Did he fail?"

Qin Yun said from the side, "Even if he failed, it shouldn't take this long."

"Maybe junior disciple Fang is just chatting with Master Hong?"

Wang Yanshan snorted coldly, "I think he's afraid I'll beat him up when he comes out!"

The moment Wang Yanshan finished speaking, Fang Chen finally appeared!
