Fang Chen didn't want to be tied down so early, so he directly rejected Liu Tianyuan's suggestion.
Liu Tianyuan sighed again.
"Fine, let it be then."
Fang Chen bowed and bid farewell to Liu Tianyuan before leaving Tian Yuan Escort Agency.
At this moment, Liu Yan came out from behind.
She pouted, somewhat angrily.
"Tch, they actually look down on me."
Liu Tianyuan helplessly exposed, "You're not good enough for her from the start."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan immediately became anxious.
"Father, how can you talk to your daughter like that!"
Liu Tianyuan said angrily, "You were so insistent on having that Li Xing before, didn't you even consider whether you were good enough for him!"
"You should have listened to me and captured Master Fang earlier. Now Master Fang is even more powerful than before, and you are not worthy!"
Liu Tianyuan felt he had been too lenient with his daughter and needed to scold her more.
"Tell me, what's so great about Li Xing? He still got defeated by Master Fang. Serves you right for not listening to me before. You're really going to drive your father crazy!"
Liu Yan frowned and replied, "I heard that Young Master Li is preparing to break through to the Sinew and Bone Realm."
"Once he successfully breaks through, no matter how powerful Fang Chen is, he will not be able to defeat Young Master Li across realms, so Young Master Li is still better."
She no longer cares who she marries.
I just wanted to prove to my dad that I hadn't misjudged him, so he wouldn't keep nagging me!
Liu Tianyuan shook his head, too lazy to argue any further.
"Alright, I'll see if there are any other suitable people."
Night, in the backyard of the Fang Family,
"When the mind is like flowing clouds, the will is at ease; when the breath fills the feet, the body is like smoke."
Fang Chen silently recited this line from " The Surging Cloud Steps," then looked at the description in the notes beside him.
"By channeling qi and blood into my feet, I can change my footwork by guiding the amount and speed of this flow."
When moving around in a small area, the flow of qi and blood is like a gentle stream, nourishing things silently!
During short bursts of energy, the Qi and blood must surge forth like a flood bursting its banks, and then quickly recede after the burst to avoid excessive consumption!
After understanding, Fang Chen continued to the next sentence.
"Not relying on brute force but on skillful change, only then can one understand the mystery within the Surging Cloud Steps."
Below are some corresponding body movement tips, which have strict requirements for movements and power generation.
Fang Chen further understood these key points, then placed the " Surging Cloud Steps " on the stone table in the courtyard and looked at the plum blossom stakes beside it.
These plum blossom stakes were arranged by Fang Chen over the past few days.
This is to facilitate the practice of the Surging Cloud Steps, and to train balance and the stable flow of Qi and blood!
Fang Chen jumped onto the plum blossom stakes and began to practice the Surging Cloud Steps seriously.
Focusing on martial arts training every day
Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
It was the tenth day that Fang Chen was practicing the Surging Cloud Steps!
"The footwork changes, the steps move in an arc!"
Fang Chen used his waist and hips as axes, turning his body with each step.
When the soles of the feet touch the plum blossom stakes, it is as light as a cloud, a quick touch and then a move, the movements are smooth and swift!
after a while,
[ Surging Cloud Steps Proficiency +3]!
Fang Chen jumped off the plum blossom stakes and looked at the control panel.
[ The Surging Cloud Steps is at a minor level (1/400)]!
A surge of power immediately welled up within his body, and Fang Chen closed his eyes to carefully sense it.
"The power of the fruit has increased again."
"However, the increase brought by the Surging Cloud Steps does not seem to be as great as that of the Whirlwind Blade Technique."
It seems that the power increase brought by these Martial Arts should indeed have an upper limit; once a certain limit is reached, the increase will be very small.
"We're still some distance from that level, but the boost from the Surging Cloud Steps is quite significant!"
In addition to the increase in strength,
His movements have become more agile, and this improvement in "skills" can also increase his combat power!
"Then next, we should practice the Dragon Subduing Fist, master it to a minor Dragon Subduing Fist, and increase our strength further!"
Having made up his mind, and seeing that there was still plenty of time, Fang Chen immediately began practicing the Dragon Subduing Fist.
[ Dragon Subduing Fist Proficiency +5]!
[ Dragon Subduing Fist Proficiency +5]!
The next day,
Inside the martial arts school,
Fang Chen was chatting with Zhou Hai about the recent developments in Baihe County.
" The Green Robe Gang recently found a new leader to fill Shen Tian's vacancy."
"I heard that this new disciple is very powerful, a master at the limit of the Sinew and Bone Realm!"
Zhou Hai's tone was tinged with worry, and he sighed.
"Sigh, the Green Robe Gang has become increasingly arrogant lately, and it seems they're planning to send in a master of the Hall level directly."
"Once they also get involved in the fighting, the conflict between our two gangs will quickly escalate."
Hearing this, Fang Chen was somewhat surprised and said:
"Are they planning to completely break off relations?"
Zhou Hai nodded, his face looking somewhat distressed.
"The atmosphere in the entire Baihe County has been somewhat tense lately, and it seems that the Green Robe Gang is not willing to wait any longer."
"Once things really come to a head, our Three Rivers Gang probably can't beat the Green Robe Gang..."
"Back then, I didn't know where I should go or what to do!"
Fang Chen said, " Junior Brother Zhou, if there's anything I can do to help, you must tell me!"
Zhou Hai smiled.
"Brother Yi!"
Although he verbally agreed to Fang Chen, Zhou Hai was inwardly conflicted.
Given the current situation, Senior Disciple Fang probably can't offer any help.
Even if Senior Disciple Fang breaks through to the Sinew and Bone Realm now, he still can't compare to those experienced Sinew and Bone Realm experts.
Zhou Hai sighed inwardly.
" The Three Rivers Gang... is probably not far from its demise."
afternoon,
Near a Gambling House belonging to the Three Rivers Gang, two gangs are engaged in a violent fight!
One of the Three Rivers Gang members was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the wall next to him!
As Zhou Hai said
The Green Robe Gang directly dispatched a master of the Hall level to participate in the melee!
The Three Rivers Gang naturally dispatched a member of their gang immediately to deal with the situation.
But...
The Three Rivers Gang leader struggled to his feet and looked at the tall man with a few strands of hair in front of him.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "You are... that newly recruited Green Robe Gang? The one at the limit of the Sinew and Bone Realm?"
The Green Robe Gang looked to be in his sixties, laughed heartily.
"Not bad, it seems your Three Rivers Gang's leader isn't very strong, losing so easily!"
The man lying on the ground roared angrily.
"I'm just the weakest member of the gang. Defeating me is nothing. Don't be so arrogant!"
The Green Robe Gang sneered, swung his thick arm, and killed the man lying on the ground with a few punches!
He thought disdainfully to himself,
"The limit of the Sinew and Bone Realm? You underestimate me too much. I'm more than a dozen Sinew and Bone Realm experts, and I've mastered several Martial Arts techniques. How could someone like you compare to me!"
"Let's start from this Gambling House den and show you my strength!"
None of the Three Rivers Gang members expected that their leader would die so easily.
One of the deacons shouted, "Retreat! Retreat! We've given them this territory! This Sinew and Bone Realm is too strong; if we continue fighting, everyone will die!"
Now that Tang is dead, the deacon is the highest-ranking official.
Upon receiving the order, the members of the Three Rivers Gang scattered and fled.
Upon seeing this, the Green Robe Gang spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground.
"Pah, how boring!"
A deacon from the Green Robe Gang stepped forward and flattered:
"Zheng Tangyi, you are truly a master of martial arts! With just one move from you, these members of the Three Rivers Gang were terrified and fled in all directions!"
Zheng Lingfeng chuckled softly.
"They're just too weak!"
"If all the gang leaders of the Three Rivers Gang are of this caliber, then the destruction of the Three Rivers Gang is just around the corner!"
The steward also laughed and said, "At that time, the Song Family and our Green Robe Gang will each occupy half of the sky in this Baihe County!"
Both of them laughed heartily, completely disregarding the Three Rivers Gang!
