Naming

When they learned that Chen Feng, like them, had initially only trained his strength.

Before, he only knew Health Cultivation Kung Fu.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network to relieve book famine, t̸̸w̸̸k̸̸a̸̸n̸̸.c̸̸o̸̸m̸̸ is super convenient]

He had never formally learned any fist techniques.

For a moment, the shock in everyone's eyes deepened.

"What kind of prodigy is this! So he doesn't even know Basic Fist Technique!"

"Look at his eyes, he's clearly wondering, 'Do you have to learn Basic Fist Technique before learning Five Elements Fist?'!"

"Comparing people is truly infuriating!"

Chen Feng's comprehension was too dazzling, causing everyone to completely forget that Chen Feng only had Zhong Xia Gen Gu.

"Shanyue."

"Disciple is here."

Zhao Shanyue stepped forward and bowed his head.

"Afterward, you will be responsible for guiding Chen Feng and arranging related matters."

"Disciple obeys."

"Chen Feng."

"Disciple is here."

Zhou Bingzhong looked at Chen Feng with a much gentler expression and said.

"You used the Health Cultivation moves to neutralize the Rigid Strength, which shows a bit of cleverness, but don't do it again. If you haven't mastered two styles, don't blindly fuse them, otherwise, you'll make mistakes and go down the wrong path."

"Also, don't forcefully use Martial Arts anymore. It puts a great burden on your body and can easily damage your foundation. If I hadn't been present today, and you made a mistake, you might have sustained a Hidden Injury and been troubled by it for life."

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Disciple will remember."

After Zhou Bingzhong finished his instructions, the Staff-Wielding Youth also nodded friendly at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng respectfully returned the bow.

Then, Zhao Shanyue took Chen Feng to procure the necessary items and went to the Storeroom to collect a set of Formal Disciple attire.

"Senior Brother Zhao, aren't I a Registered Disciple? Why am I being given Formal Disciple clothing?" Chen Feng asked, confused.

"Haha, Junior Brother Chen, so you didn't know. Your status as a registered disciple is actually higher than that of an ordinary formal disciple."

Zhao Shanyue became extremely enthusiastic, treating Chen Feng as one of his own.

"Do you know that Master hasn't accepted a registered disciple in years? Even those with Upper Grade Root Bones aren't worthy of being a registered disciple."

Surprise flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. He hadn't expected this.

He had thought his root bone was so bad that he couldn't even become a formal disciple.

"In our Dragon Walk Martial Arts School, as long as one becomes a Martial Artist, they are promoted to formal disciple, all brothers. So why have registered disciples? Isn't that redundant?"

Zhao Shanyue paused for dramatic effect before slowly explaining.

"Once a registered disciple becomes a Martial Artist, they become a Personal Disciple. Their status is far higher than that of ordinary formal disciples, and there will be a formal disciple-acceptance ceremony. Haha, just thinking about it is exciting. Master hasn't accepted a Personal Disciple in a long time."

"Of course, there's a time limit for registered disciples, which is half a year. If you can't become a Personal Disciple within half a year, you'll only be an ordinary disciple. However, since you've caught Master's eye, becoming a Martial Artist within half a year should be no problem."

Zhao Shanyue patted Chen Feng's back, as if to say, "I have high hopes for you."

"Currently, Master only has five Personal Disciples. I'm Fourth. The one standing next to Master just now was Second Senior Brother, Yao Xingzhi. If you're learning the staff, Second Senior Brother will demonstrate the staff techniques for you."

Chen Feng's mind flashed with the image of the Staff-Wielding Youth from before.

He was too young, looking much younger than Zhao Shanyue.

As if understanding Chen Feng's thoughts, Zhao Shanyue chuckled.

"Second Senior Brother has been with Master since he was young. I only joined Master's sect a few years ago. Although I'm older, I still have to call him Senior Brother. Besides... Second Senior Brother is very strong. I'm no match for him at all."

"Alright, wear this for now. It's just temporary. Once you truly become a Personal Disciple, new clothes will be prepared for you. Also, you can throw away that Wooden Token. Take this instead."

Chen Feng took it. It was an Iron Token engraved with Chen Feng's name. Its appearance was similar to the Wooden Token, but the texture was more refined.

"This is also temporary, just like the formal disciples'. Once you become a Personal Disciple, Master will announce it to the outside world. Then, no matter where you go, you will represent our martial arts school. Our Dragon Walk Martial Arts School is considered a top Faction in Pingcheng."

"I still remember the first time I saw you. I had taken in so many trainees, and you were the only one who secretly slipped me money, every time you came. I knew at a glance you'd be successful."

Chen Feng felt Senior Brother Zhao's goodwill and started chatting with him.

"That's because Senior Brother, you're tall and strong, and you look imposing and powerful. I thought I'd try to build a connection."

"Hahaha, you really suit my taste. I'm really looking forward to the day you become Sixth..."

Chen Feng: "..."

The relationship between the two of them had unknowingly grown much closer.

After becoming a registered disciple, there were many privileges. For example, in terms of teaching, other trainees were guided by senior brothers or martial arts instructors, while Chen Feng was personally instructed by the Hall Master.

What made Chen Feng even happier was that after becoming a registered disciple, he even got free meals!

This way, he could spend more time practicing punches and wouldn't have to worry about being too poor to even afford a meal.

The only downside was that he still had to solve his own accommodation problem.

In the following days, Chen Feng did not slacken his cultivation after becoming a registered disciple; instead, he became even more diligent.

He spent the entire day at the martial arts school, practicing the Five Elements Fist over and over again, honing the Qi Blood within his body. The Qi Blood pillar, as thick as a little finger, gradually expanded.

Zhou Bingzhong was very satisfied with Chen Feng, who was neither arrogant nor impatient, but practiced martial arts steadily.

The Martial Way Path most fears inconsistency; only by persevering can one become a strong person.

Chen Feng's Splitting Fist became more proficient, and he could gradually complete a whole set. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a Martial Artist, and could already vaguely sense that barrier.

Becoming a Martial Artist would not take half a year at all!

Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder if his root bone was really Zhong Xia.

Dusk, Dragon Walk Martial Arts School.

To the east of the martial arts school, a small courtyard was the dormitory for disciples.

Two old trees were planted in the courtyard, with lush foliage, casting a patch of shade. The houses were all blue brick and grey tile, simple and unadorned, exuding a solemn aura.

The young members of wealthy families who came to learn martial arts at great expense were housed here. The accommodation and meal arrangements were vastly different from those of other trainees. Not only did they eat lean meat, the same as formal disciples, but they also had specially prepared medicinal soup and medicinal baths to aid their cultivation.

"Brother Lin, want to go have some fun tonight?"

Several trainees greeted each other, laughing and joking.

"Sure, I just had a breakthrough. How about I treat tonight?"

"Another breakthrough! Alright Lin Yan, you're hiding your talents. How can you make such rapid progress while eating and drinking with me every day?" a disciple exclaimed.

"Brother Lin has Upper Grade Root Bone. A little bit of cultivation is equivalent to four or five days of results for us. It won't be long before he becomes a formal disciple. If the Hall Master takes a liking to him and accepts him as a personal disciple, his future will be boundless."

Lin Yan listened, his lips curved slightly, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

"Hey, speaking of personal disciples, have you heard? The Hall Master accepted a registered disciple a few days ago."

"A registered disciple? How long has it been since Dragon Walk Martial Arts School had a registered disciple? What kind of aptitude does this person have? Could it be Top Grade?"

A disciple shook his head, "I heard he's only Middle Grade. I'm not too sure. He's from the Fist Academy. We who study staff rarely see them."

"I've heard something similar, but the news I got was that the person's Gen Gu was only Zhong Xia, and they relied on astonishing Comprehension to catch the Hall Master's Insightful Eye. I think his name was... Chen... Chen something, I've forgotten."

"Chen Feng?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name! I'd never heard of him before, no idea where he popped up from."

A flicker of surprise flashed in Lin Yan's eyes, then he shook his head.

Impossible. There are plenty of people with the same name. It definitely isn't the same person. Besides, that person died long ago...
