Hand Over the Elixir!

As everyone saw Fang Chen appear, they all gathered around.

Looking at the crowd with their varied expressions, Fang Chen put on a sad face and sighed softly, "Sigh!"

Seeing Fang Chen like this, Wang Yanshan immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I knew it, you couldn't possibly..."

Before Wang Yanshan could finish speaking, Fang Chen suddenly said, "I finally succeeded in breaking through!"

As soon as he said this, Wang Yanshan froze. His mood plummeted, and he said angrily, "You succeeded? No, then why were you sighing just now?!"

Fang Chen burst into laughter, "Of course, I was just messing with you, you idiot!"

Wang Yanshan was furious and threw a punch!

Zhou Hai, who was watching, saw this scene and was extremely anxious, "Oh no!"

Wang Yanshan was at the peak of the Skin and Muscle Realm; Fang Chen, who had just entered it, couldn't possibly withstand it!

The onlookers hadn't even recovered from the news of Fang Chen's successful breakthrough when they saw Wang Yanshan actually throw a punch at Fang Chen!

Song Ming, on the other hand, was secretly delighted, "Whether he succeeded in breaking through or not, we'll know with one try!"

Just as everyone thought Fang Chen wouldn't be able to block the punch, Fang Chen also threw a punch, directly clashing with Wang Yanshan!

Seeing this, some disciples believed Fang Chen's hand would be crippled, However, to everyone's surprise, Fang Chen actually blocked it!

Some disciples exclaimed, "Did Senior Brother Wang hold back? Otherwise, how could he have blocked it?"

"Perhaps. Regardless, being able to block it is already impressive. Junior Brother Fang must have truly succeeded in breaking through."

"It's truly hard to imagine. Junior Brother Fang's aptitude is mediocre at best; how did he succeed?"

"Maybe it was luck?"

However, what the onlookers couldn't imagine was, Wang Yanshan was more surprised than anyone else at this moment!

Because he hadn't held back at all just now!

Wang Yanshan slowly withdrew his hand, his heart filled with shock and uncertainty, "How could this be... How could his strength be so great?!"

"Is this really someone who just broke through?"

Wang Yanshan no longer had any doubt about Fang Chen's breakthrough, But what he couldn't understand was why Fang Chen, having just broken through, already possessed the strength to contend with him?!

Fang Chen was also somewhat pleased at this moment, He hadn't expected the boost from the two martial arts to be greater than he imagined.

Wang Yanshan had been in the Skin and Muscle Realm for quite some time.

The fact that he could contend with him right after breaking through was enough to prove that the boost from the two martial arts was very useful!

Of course, Fang Chen speculated, In addition to the effects of the two boosts, Martial arts that had been upgraded through the panel might be stronger than others at the same level.

After all, with the panel, he had taken every step steadily, without any flaws.

His foundation was deep, so the increase after breaking through should be greater than others!

With the two factors combined, he was able to block Wang Yanshan's punch!

Seeing Wang Yanshan frozen in place, Fang Chen sneered, "Senior Brother Wang, the bet is over. It's clear that I won. Where is the elixir you promised me?"

Wang Yanshan snapped back to reality. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he said with false bravado, "What's the hurry? It's just an elixir. Am I going to shortchange you?!"

In fact, Wang Yanshan hadn't brought any elixir with him today!

He had originally thought that Fang Chen definitely wouldn't break through today, and he would surely win the bet!

Therefore, Wang Yanshan hadn't even considered what to do if he lost, and naturally, he hadn't brought any elixir!

Fang Chen saw this and shouted sternly, "Hmph, I think you just want to renege on the debt!"

"Heh, Senior Brother Wang, it's one thing that you can't break through your realm, I can only say you're quite useless, but now it seems your character isn't great either!"

Wang Yanshan was filled with anger, but for the moment, he couldn't produce the elixirs, and could only let Fang Chen curse him!

Seeing the gazes of the surrounding disciples, Wang Yanshan was filled with shame and indignation.

He thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and told the truth, "I forgot to bring it this morning. I'll go back at noon and give it to you in the afternoon!"

Fang Chen sneered, "Fine, but in the afternoon, I want two portions of elixirs!"

Hearing this, Wang Yanshan's eyes widened. He hadn't expected Fang Chen to be so greedy!

Wang Yanshan gritted his teeth, "This is too much! According to the bet, I only need to give you one portion of elixirs. Why do you want two?!"

Seeing that Wang Yanshan didn't agree, Fang Chen was about to continue his persuasion, At this moment, Song Ming suddenly walked over and said directly, "A peasant is just a peasant, greedy and insatiable!"

Song Ming sneered, "You want it so badly? Here you go!"

As he spoke, he casually tossed a package over, which Fang Chen easily caught.

Opening it, he saw six elixirs!

Fang Chen cursed inwardly, "Rich dog, so much money! Six elixirs just like that!"

Seeing this, Wang Yanshan quickly smiled at Song Ming, "Thank you, Senior Brother Song, for saving me."

Song Ming waved his hand dismissively, "We're not like him. Why bother arguing over a mere elixir."

Wang Yanshan outwardly agreed, but inwardly cursed, "Easy for you to say! I'm not as well-off as your family... A whole six elixirs, and this peasant profited so much!"

Fang Chen was currently calculating in his mind:

"Adding Zhou Hai's portion, that's a total of seven elixirs! One can last seven days, so that's forty-nine days!"

"With the medicinal effects boosting my Tiger Subduing Fist and Whirlwind Blade Technique, it's equivalent to practicing for an extra forty-nine days!"

As Fang Chen estimated, the surrounding disciples were all staring at the six elixirs, their eyes full of envy.

Even Zhou Hai couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.

Fang Chen noticed everyone's gaze and smiled, "What are you all crowding around me for? Shouldn't you be practicing martial arts?"

Everyone then chuckled awkwardly and dispersed.

Fang Chen was about to return to his original spot to continue practicing when he saw several people approaching—

They were Jiang Qiutong, the merchant, Qin Yun, and Zhou Hai.

Seeing this, Fang Chen said gently, "Do you all need something? One by one, please. Senior Sister Jiang, you first."

Jiang Qiutong took a deep breath and spoke first:

"Junior Brother Fang, I truly didn't expect you to successfully break through! I... I need to apologize to you."

"At the time, I thought you were just trying to save face and spoke some inappropriate words. I hope you don't take it to heart."
