Hong Decheng Almost Jumped Out of His Rattan Chair!

A male junior disciple said, "I'll give Senior Disciple Fang two taels of silver for each session!"

Luo Shuiling laughed, "Only two taels? I'll give five taels of silver per session!"

Another female disciple, not to be outdone, said, "I'll give seven taels!"

The new disciples nearby frowned, feeling the price was a bit high.

However, Luo Shuiling understood that Senior Disciple Fang's guidance could truly bring great rewards.

So Luo Shuiling continued to raise the price, "Ten taels! I won't give up this opportunity!"

Ten taels! Ten taels for one session!

Although Luo Shuiling didn't need guidance every day, this price was already very high!

Even if she only needed guidance once every three days, that would be a hundred taels of silver a month!

Hearing this price, Even Zhou Hai was a little surprised!

But Zhou Hai had experienced Fang Chen's guidance, so he understood that for wealthy people, this might really be nothing.

Zhou Hai whispered in Fang Chen's ear:

"Luo Shuiling's father is a big merchant with a wealthy family. In Baihe County, her family's financial power can even rival the Song family!"

Fang Chen nodded, understanding immediately.

Zhou Hai looked at Fang Chen with some envy.

Luo Shuiling was beautiful and had an outstanding figure. Guiding such a junior sister, Zhou Hai would have been willing to pay money himself.

Yet, when it came to Senior Disciple Fang, the junior sister was the one paying him.

Zhou Hai sighed inwardly, "Indeed, people cannot be judged by the same standard!"

After Luo Shuiling offered ten taels, the others wore expressions of unwillingness.

They didn't want to lose Fang Chen's guidance, but this price was simply too high.

The disciples felt it wasn't worth it at all!

Although Senior Disciple Fang's guidance was indeed excellent, it shouldn't warrant so much silver.

Seeing Luo Shuiling's determined expression, the other disciples shook their heads.

They cupped their hands and said, "Since Senior Sister Luo is so resolute, we won't compete with you."

After speaking, they dispersed, not lingering any longer.

Fang Chen smiled at Luo Shuiling, "Don't worry, I will do my best to guide you from now on and help you break through as soon as possible!"

Luo Shuiling replied with a happy expression, "I'll ask Senior Disciple Fang for more guidance in the future!"

Song Ya, watching from a distance, let out a cold laugh and sneered, "Silly and rich."

Song Ming, standing beside her, smiled and said, "Cousin, don't worry. With my guidance, you will definitely break through earlier than Luo Shuiling!"

Song Ya replied with a smile, "Of course, I believe in you, cousin!"

A day was quickly coming to an end.

Fang Chen swallowed a large elixir and practiced the Tiger Subduing Fist diligently.

[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +2]!

[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +2]!

Just as Fang Chen was about to continue practicing, a disciple suddenly came to say, "Senior Disciple Fang, Master Hong is looking for you!"

Fang Chen felt puzzled. He nodded and replied with a smile, "I know, I'll be right there."

Zhou Hai came over and said, "Senior Disciple Fang, won't Master Hong be giving you special training?"

"Just like when Song Ming and Jiang Qiutong were called over this morning. Perhaps Master Hong thinks you also have a chance to enter the Demon Eradication Division and wants to give you one of the spots?"

Fang Chen shook his head, "If that were the case, he would have called me over this morning. No need to overthink it; I'll know when I go see him."

After speaking, Fang Chen strode towards the backyard of the martial arts school.

When Fang Chen passed Song Ming, Song Ming looked at him with some confusion.

"Junior Brother Fang, what are you looking for Master Hong for?"

Fang Chen was speechless. "What business is it of yours? Besides, Master Hong was the one looking for me."

Too lazy to chat more with Song Ming, Fang Chen continued walking forward.

But Song Ming frowned tightly and cursed:

"What's going on? Master Hong doesn't think Fang Chen has a chance to enter the Demon Eradication Division, does he?!"

"Hmph, those two spots are definitely mine and Qiu Tong's. Why should other disciples compete with us!"

"I hope Fang Chen doesn't overestimate himself, or he'll just bring shame upon himself!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiutong secretly pondered, "Although I think Junior Brother Fang is very capable and his martial heart is firm enough."

"But I'm not far from the Sinew and Bone Realm. I'll be able to break through in a few more days."

"No matter how much of a genius Junior Brother Fang is, he won't break through the Sinew and Bone Realm so quickly. So, this spot should still be mine and Song Ming's."

Although Jiang Qiutong disliked Song Ming somewhat, she couldn't deny that Song Ming was currently the most likely person to join the Demon Eradication Division.

He would definitely take one spot.

Then, the remaining spot would be competed for by Jiang Qiutong and others.

Jiang Qiutong didn't want Fang Chen to snatch her spot!

"I must break through as soon as possible to completely make Junior Brother Fang give up!"

Jiang Qiutong made up her mind, unwilling to give this spot to anyone else!

She seriously practiced the Tiger Subduing Fist.

Meanwhile, Fang Chen had already met Hong Decheng.

But Hong Decheng's first sentence made him feel bewildered.

"When can you break through to the Sinew and Bone Realm?"

Fang Chen frowned, not understanding Hong Decheng's intentions.

Seeing this, Hong Decheng smiled and explained, "I've observed you many times and found that you might be the kind of talent with excellent comprehension for all martial arts."

"Not only do you understand the martial arts you learn very thoroughly and have a deep foundation, but you even have a clear grasp of your own progress in martial arts!"

"Am I correct in my guess?"

Fang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just thought Hong Decheng had seen through something deeper.

He had even been thinking about how to escape the martial arts school.

He didn't expect Hong Decheng to come up with a good explanation for him.

Excellent martial arts comprehension?

With this explanation, it seemed to work.

Fang Chen pretended to be slightly surprised and exclaimed, "Master Hong truly has a discerning eye. I didn't expect you to see through me so clearly!"

"You are correct. I have indeed found that my understanding of martial arts is stronger than others, and my foundation is also deeper!"

"This is also why I can easily guide my junior brothers and sisters."

"As for my progress in martial arts, it's not that I have a clear grasp of everything. I just have a vague feeling about where I am."

"This is also why, when I made the bet with Wang Yanshan, I dared to confidently state the six-day period."

Hong Decheng felt a bit proud when his guess was confirmed.

He had met countless people in his life and was most confident in his judgment.

Now, Fang Chen had hit the nail on the head, which pleased him greatly.

Hong Decheng said with a smile, "Haha, you do know how to flatter people. But you haven't answered my question from earlier."

Fang Chen thought for a moment, pretended to close his eyes in deep thought, then opened them and said:

"Master Hong, I estimate it will take me another two months to successfully break through to the Sinew and Bone Realm!"

Actually, forty days would be enough, but that was under ideal circumstances.

This world was too chaotic, and unforeseen circumstances were inevitable, so Fang Chen added an extra twenty days.

Besides, being too precise wouldn't be good, lest Hong Decheng become suspicious!

Fang Chen originally thought two months wasn't a short time.

But Hong Decheng almost jumped up from his rattan chair.

He asked in surprise:

"What did you say? You can break through to the Second Realm in two months?!"
