Is This Guy Really Only Fifteen?

At noon the next day, led by a maid, Chen Mo walked for more than ten minutes before entering the Training Ground in the core area of the Guo Family Ancestral Land.

He found that ten people were already waiting there.

Five were youths, two were young women, and the other three stood to one side watching the seven cultivate. They were clearly the instructors.

Among those seven direct descendants of the Guo Family, Chen Mo seemed to recognize three of them. He had most likely crossed paths with them yesterday at the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

However, when Chen Mo returned to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion that evening, none of them appeared, nor did anyone come to disturb him.

It was clear that people from great families were rather proud. They were unwilling to shamelessly come over and fawn on him like dogs, all wanting to maintain their dignity.

That was still worthy of approval.

The moment Chen Mo appeared, everyone's gazes locked onto him. They stopped cultivating one after another and sized him up, their expressions varied.

Yet before Chen Mo could approach, the three instructors walked straight over...

"Guo Wenbai."

"Guo Shao."

"Deng Qi!"

The three gave brief introductions, their eyes fixed directly on Chen Mo as though they wanted to see through him completely.

Judging from their surnames, Guo Wenbai and Guo Shao were both Guo family members, and they were probably over forty years old.

The one Chen Mo paid the most attention to was Deng Qi, who looked the youngest and was not a member of the Guo Family.

For an outsider to enter the core area of the Guo Family Ancestral Land and serve as an instructor for the direct Young Masters and Ladies, Deng Qi's strength was certainly far from ordinary, and he had undoubtedly earned the Guo Family's trust.

"Chen Mo."

Following their example, Chen Mo gave his name, already impatient to start fighting.

"Which one of you is going first?"

"Hmm?"

The three were slightly stunned. They had not expected Chen Mo to be so direct—one could even say rude.

But when they considered that Chen Mo was only fifteen, such straightforward behavior without any scheming seemed understandable. After exchanging glances, all three smiled.

"Guest Official Chen is forthright. We like dealing with people like you; there's no need to think about so many twists and turns."

"Please move to the Training Ground. The three of us each specialize in different cultivation techniques. We heard that Guest Official Chen is skilled in both Fist Technique and Blade Technique, so we must properly experience them today."

"Guest Official Chen, don't overthink it. This is merely a small test before teaching the Young Masters and Ladies. Every one of us went through it."

Chen Mo did not believe a single punctuation mark of what the three said.

Of course, he still had to keep up appearances. He showed no suspicion or distrust on his face.

He wore a cheerful smile, while inwardly cursing, Go to hell.

Chatting and laughing with the three, Chen Mo entered the Training Ground and met the seven direct descendants of the Guo Family whom he would be teaching.

After the three gave brief introductions, he gained a basic understanding of these Young Masters and Ladies.

All seven were over eighteen but under twenty-two. The strongest was Guo Mingxuan, from the Family Head's branch. At twenty, he had already reached the Inner Strength Realm. He was one of the outstanding figures among the Guo Family's younger generation and had hope of reaching Perfect Accomplishment in Body Tempering before the age of thirty-five.

Even the weakest had reached the Strength Refining Realm, which was already quite impressive.

Whether Young Masters or Ladies, all of them bore obvious traces of martial training.

Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists generally had broad, sturdy builds. Men and women alike stood out at a glance.

Someone like Chen Mo was truly rare. He was clearly a Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist, yet he was not even one meter eighty tall—he was still young, after all—and rather than being muscular, he had a lean frame that looked slim in clothes.

The two direct-descendant "Vajra Barbies" of the Guo Family already had shining eyes. What woman did not love beauty? Naturally, they were no exception. But from the moment they chose martial arts, their figures had inevitably begun to "go out of shape."

Unless their talent was mediocre and they were unsuited to the path of a Martial Artist, in a great family like this, both men and women were required to train in martial arts from childhood.

Female Martial Artists rarely managed to improve their strength while also preserving their beauty.

Those two direct-descendant Ladies of the Guo Family had originally thought the same, but now they had found the possibility of becoming beautiful through Chen Mo. How could their hearts not stir?

As for the five Young Masters, their eyes held more doubt and anticipation. Chen Mo was so much younger than them, yet he was already a Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist.

Even someone as exceptionally talented within the family as Guo Mingxuan had reached the Inner Strength Realm at twenty. To become a Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist, he would probably need to be at least twenty-five. Whether he could reach the Divine Valor Realm and complete his Body Tempering cultivation before thirty-five was still far from guaranteed.

Chen Mo was a mud-legged commoner with no resources and no background. What gave him the right to be so strong?

Seeing was believing, hearing was falsehood. Chen Mo's realm was so high, and rumors even claimed that his combat strength was outstanding. The others found that somewhat hard to believe. Since they had this opportunity, they naturally had to witness it for themselves.

After briefly getting acquainted with the Young Masters and Ladies through Guo Wenbai's introductions, Chen Mo was led to the center of the Training Ground, while everyone else withdrew to its edges.

"Guo Wenbai, main cultivation: Shattered Jade Fist. Please enlighten me!"

"Please!"

Seeing the other man assume a beautiful opening stance and stare at him with eyes like blazing torches, Chen Mo found it a little embarrassingly dramatic. Still, so as not to seem too out of place, he assumed the opening stance of the Fierce Tiger Fist as well.

After reaching Perfect Accomplishment in his Fist Technique, he no longer needed to do this. He could begin with any movement and still bring out the Fist Technique's full power.

Doing it so abruptly now felt rather awkward.

At the edge of the field...

"Master Deng, who do you think will win?"

As the leader among the direct descendants, Guo Mingxuan did not stand on ceremony and asked directly.

Deng Qi pondered. "Brother Wenbai's Shattered Jade Fist is close to Great Accomplishment, and he is also a veteran Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist. His foundation is deep and his combat experience abundant. Though his strength has begun to decline due to age, he should still hold a certain advantage."

Martial Artists sent to teach Core Disciples could not possibly be ordinary. Every one of them was outstanding.

Hearing this, Guo Mingxuan and the others nodded in agreement. The analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and they eagerly hoped that Guo Wenbai would defeat Chen Mo.

At the same time, Chen Mo and Guo Wenbai stopped facing each other from across the field and moved almost simultaneously.

Tiger Roars with Wind!

Tiger Roars in the Forest!

Tiger Crouches, Dragon Coils!

Under Chen Mo's command, a set of Fierce Tiger Fist erupted with astonishing might. The Fist Wind blasted through the air, as though a fierce tiger were roaring beside their ears.

Everyone beside the Training Ground was startled.

Deng Qi and Guo Shao exchanged a covert glance, each seeing the surprise in the other's eyes.

A Great Accomplishment level Fist Technique!

Its rank was likely no worse than the Guo Family's Shattered Jade Fist.

Chen Mo was only fifteen. Had he started practicing Fist Technique while still in his mother's womb?

As for Guo Mingxuan and the others, they were all utterly dumbfounded.

Though Guo Wenbai was not a direct descendant of the Guo Family, he had considerable talent. He was in the Late Stage of the Divine Strength Realm, possessed a Fist Technique nearly at Great Accomplishment, and had extremely abundant combat experience. His strength firmly ranked among the top five Divine Strength Realm Martial Artists in the Guo Family.

Among the three instructors, only Deng Qi could surpass him. Guo Shao was still somewhat inferior.

Such a powerful man actually could not defeat a fifteen-year-old youth?!

The two fought back and forth in the field, and it looked as though neither could gain the upper hand.

They're only deadlocked for now. Master Wenbai will definitely win in the end! Guo Mingxuan and the others thought.

Little did they know that Guo Wenbai was growing more alarmed with every exchange and less certain with every blow. He found that no matter how he changed his moves or sought a way to break the deadlock, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to stir the slightest ripple.

Every time, Chen Mo effortlessly neutralized his techniques.

Gradually, Guo Wenbai discovered in shock that Chen Mo's returning force, which had initially been somewhat weaker than his own, had now become equal to it.

He was a Late Stage Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist. The force of one arm exceeded Three Thousand Jin, comparable to an ordinary Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist at Perfect Accomplishment, yet he could not even overpower Chen Mo in strength.

Is this guy really only fifteen?! Guo Wenbai was deeply shaken.

"You still dare to lose focus in battle..."

Chen Mo was somewhat speechless, but he did not choose to press his advantage. How could he easily let go of such a capable sparring partner? He naturally had to fight a while longer. During the battle, his use of the Fierce Tiger Fist became increasingly fluid.

Even his control over his own strength improved considerably. After all, Chen Mo was currently doing his utmost to keep his strength on equal footing with his opponent's, constantly tempering his control.

Feeling the beneficial changes that had occurred in such a short time, Chen Mo was delighted.

I really came to the right place this time!
