Guande Martial Arts School's Great Fame! Jin Guangqing's Surprise!

The martial arts exchange between the two schools invited many prominent figures from Qingshan Town. Guande Martial Arts School's impressive performance left them very satisfied, confirming their decision to send their sons and daughters to train there was the right one.

Other wealthy families from larger towns regretted their choices, realizing how strong Guande Martial Arts School truly was. They began withdrawing their children from local martial arts schools and enrolling them in Guande Martial Arts School instead.

This also led to a significant improvement in Guande Martial Arts School's business.

Afterward, Jin Guangqing boasted that the disciples from Donglai Martial Arts School were no match for them.

It truly showcased the arrogance and unruliness of youth!

Jin Guangqing's strength also made the many disciples of the martial arts school understand that the geniuses among these schools were all formidable and not to be trifled with.

Even Xie Baolin was far stronger than ordinary Martial Artists at the same level.

"Su Mo, you don't know, but Baolin truly shone during the martial arts exchange with Donglai Martial Arts School. Although not as terrifying as Jin Guangqing, he still powerfully defeated his opponent and captured everyone's attention."

After the martial arts exchange concluded, Ye Zongsheng and Sha Pengxiao found Su Mo for a chat. Ye Zongsheng said enviously, "Baolin not only became famous with this battle, but it's said a senior disciple from the upper echelons of the school has decided to reward Baolin with a martial art, Thunderous Fist, to encourage him to continue his efforts."

"You know, Thunderous Fist is the prerequisite martial art for the Body Tempering Cultivation Technique, Thunderous Body Refining Fist!"

Ye Zongsheng's eyes lit up with envy as he spoke. He thought, If only I had known Donglai Martial Arts School was so weak, I should have participated.

However, the senior disciples from the martial arts school's upper echelons did not allow him and Sha Pengxiao to compete. If they had, wouldn't they have also received the Thunderous Fist martial art?

Thunderous Fist was very precious, being the prerequisite martial art for one of Guande Martial Arts School's three ultimate Body Tempering Cultivation Techniques, Thunderous Body Refining Fist. Once mastered, it made one incredibly powerful.

Frankly speaking, the martial arts school's upper echelons clearly intended to pass on Thunderous Body Refining Fist to Xie Baolin in the future.

"Baolin's performance this time was indeed excellent. The martial arts school's upper echelons definitely had to reward him."

Su Mo spoke calmly. He had also witnessed Xie Baolin's performance and agreed it was good; he fought with ease. However, he also noted that the martial arts school's upper echelons were willing to go to great lengths, using Thunderous Fist as a reward for Xie Baolin in this martial arts exchange.

It could be said that Thunderous Body Refining Fist was originally a technique that many martial arts school disciples only qualified to practice after breaking through to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm before the age of nineteen. Now, it was already being given to Xie Baolin to cultivate.

Even though it was only the prerequisite martial art, Thunderous Fist, as long as Xie Baolin could fully comprehend it, the martial arts school's upper echelons would surely let him cultivate Thunderous Body Refining Fist.

This was the treatment geniuses received at the martial arts school. Even though Xie Baolin wasn't as dazzling as Jin Guangqing, the school was still heavily investing in him.

For the next period, Su Mo continued to cultivate, undisturbed by external matters.

"In twenty days at most, I will break through to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm."

Under the cover of night, the training ground was empty. Only Su Mo remained, cultivating furiously. A stone lock weighing over a hundred pounds vibrated continuously under the assault of his powerful physique, its surface covered in countless cracks.

This was a sign of his physical strength reaching an extremely terrifying level.

These stone locks, weighing over a hundred pounds, were specially made by the martial arts school. Even a Martial Artist at the peak of the late Body Tempering Realm would find it difficult to break them easily, yet Su Mo could shatter them with pure physical strength alone.

Su Mo delivered another punch to the massive stone lock. It vibrated, and the interior was shaken by his Great Strength, nearly exploding.

However, as he was training late at night, Su Mo didn't want to cause too much of a commotion and disturb others' rest. Thus, at the last moment, he reeled in some of his power, preventing the stone lock from exploding on the spot.

Afterward, Su Mo left the training ground in the front courtyard.

Not long after Su Mo departed, a figure arrived at the training ground.

Looking at Su Mo's retreating figure, this figure paid no mind. After all, Su Mo was only at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, which was nothing in his eyes.

The newcomer was a young man, no older than seventeen, but tall and built. He wore a black martial robe, had a resolute face, and exuded a non-trivial aura.

This person was Jin Guangqing.

He was the martial arts school genius who had shone brightly at the martial arts exchange with Donglai Martial Arts School.

However, Jin Guangqing's expression was grim at the moment, as if he had just finished a fierce battle.

"Zheng Mengyang and I are both geniuses of the martial arts school. I thought that after this martial arts exchange, even if I wasn't as good as Zhong Wanyu, Qi Yaxue, or Qin Shuqin, I would at least be able to suppress Zheng Mengyang. But I didn't expect that my recent spar with him ended in a draw."

Jin Guangqing's face was solemn as he muttered, "Although it was a draw, I could clearly sense that Zheng Mengyang wasn't serious. Are they really that strong?"

Despite being geniuses within the martial arts school, there were still gaps between them.

Even though Jin Guangqing had fought nine opponents single-handedly, nearly crushing Donglai Martial Arts School by himself, he was not the strongest among the geniuses in Guande Martial Arts School. This was because Zhong Wanyu, Qin Shuqin, and Qi Yaxue were all stronger than him.

Even Zheng Mengyang, whom he looked down upon, turned out to be stronger than him.

This was difficult for Jin Guangqing to accept. This evening, Jin Guangqing had sparred with Zheng Mengyang, and the result was a draw.

However, Jin Guangqing knew in his heart that Zheng Mengyang had not been serious. If he had used his full strength, Jin Guangqing would likely have lost.

Therefore, he came to the training ground in the front courtyard late at night, wanting to train further.

The spar with Zheng Mengyang today had made him feel immense pressure.

Subsequently, Jin Guangqing approached a massive stone lock.

He intended to train.

However, the stone lock before him suddenly made him freeze.

One should know that these stone locks weighed over a hundred pounds, cast from a special material mixed with stone, and were unique training equipment of the martial arts school.

Most Martial Artists in the late Body Tempering Realm could not shatter such a stone lock; at most, they could only cause a few cracks on its surface, which was already considered remarkable.

These special stone locks could only be shattered by experts at the Meridian Opening Realm using their incredibly powerful internal energy.

But to Jin Guangqing's surprise, several cracks appeared on the surface of this stone lock, some as thick as a finger and a half. This astonished him.

Because the person who had left earlier seemed to be practicing with this stone lock.

"That person's strength is pretty good. To think they could leave a mark on the stone lock."

Jin Guangqing was surprised.

Immediately, he moved to the side, preparing to switch to an undamaged stone lock to practice.
