Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance, The Dance Hall Opens!

"Since you have such ambition, then I, your master, will make it happen for you."

"Only, so many Strength-Training-level Tiger Form Fist manuals aren't something I can collect in a mere moment."

"Give me some time. I'll gather them for you as quickly as I can."

"I've also looked over the fist manual and secret medicine for the Black Tiger Fist you're cultivating."

"Overall, it's passable."

"But this Tiger-Subduing Stance falls a little short."

"Today, I'll pass a stance technique on to you. If you can cultivate it to great perfection, then your martial foundation will be considered complete!"

"In addition, you have talent in external hardening. Once your Iron Garment Skill reaches perfection, I'll pass its advanced method, the Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt, on to you!"

"I have always believed that external hardening martial arts are a supplement to the current orthodox martial arts."

"Only by advancing both external hardening and orthodox martial arts side by side can they make up for each other's shortcomings, leaving oneself with no weaknesses to speak of."

"A-Qiao, go prepare the medicinal bath for your junior brother to cultivate the Iron Garment Skill. I'll pass the stance technique to him first!"

Chen Liujia said to Han Qiao.

Then he brought Jiang Wangzu to the training room and began teaching Jiang Wangzu the stance technique.

He first practiced the stance technique once, then explained the broken-down movements and essence of the stance technique to Jiang Wangzu.

With the attribute panel's help, Jiang Wangzu only needed Chen Liujia to explain it carefully once before it was carved into his heart.

It truly gave Chen Liujia a small little shock!

"Master, what stance technique is this? It feels very complicated."

Jiang Wangzu asked, somewhat curious.

"That Innate... Primordial... One-Qi Stance."

"Don't reveal the complete stance technique in front of outsiders. Not even in front of your senior sister."

Chen Liujia paused for a few seconds, then said with a stern expression.

"Don't worry, Master. I know!"

Jiang Wangzu nodded hard.

The Dao could not be lightly passed on; the law was not transmitted to six ears.

He still understood that much.

Chen Liujia: You understand jack shit!

I'm afraid that after you reveal this stance technique, someone will beat you to death!

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance (Not Yet Initiated)]

[Speed-Training Method: Walking makes you stronger!]

Jiang Wangzu: ???

What was going on here?

Hadn't Master said this stance technique was called Innate Primordial One-Qi Stance?

Why did the attribute panel show that it was called Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance?

Could Master have remembered wrong?

Jiang Wangzu didn't dwell too much on this matter, because all his attention had been drawn to the speed-training method!

Cultivating this stance technique was truly too simple for him. Walking made him stronger.

As expected of you, attribute panel. Powerful!

"Among all stance techniques in this age, if one were to discuss the best, Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance would rank first."

"Even the stance technique I created is far, far inferior to it."

"Since that stinky brat A-Zu wants to practice the strongest cultivation method, then I'll let him practice it."

"It's just right. It'll also let me see exactly where his limits lie!"

After Jiang Wangzu performed the stance technique once, Chen Liujia nodded in satisfaction.

Then he had Jiang Wangzu practice it a few more times on his own.

[Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance proficiency increased!]

[Cultivation Method: Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance (Initiated)]

[Speed-Training Method: Walking makes you stronger!]

Very soon, with the perfect foundation of the Tiger-Subduing Stance, he initiated into the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance that looked extremely complex and difficult to practice.

Chen Liujia discovered that Jiang Wangzu was already practicing with proper form, so he left the training room.

After some time passed.

Han Qiao's medicinal bath had also been prepared for Jiang Wangzu.

Jiang Wangzu spread Black Iron Paste all over his body again, then sparred with Han Qiao for a while.

After Jiang Wangzu became Han Qiao's junior brother, she worked even harder to temper his flesh and help him cultivate the Iron Garment Skill.

It was like a physique she had forged with her own hands; naturally, it felt the most comfortable for her to use.

Unfortunately, even after absorbing the Black Iron Paste and soaking in the medicinal bath, Jiang Wangzu's Iron Garment Skill would still need some time before it reached full perfection.

But he was in no hurry now.

Chen Liujia was helping him look for the Tiger Form Fist manual.

He was practicing the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance.

His proficiency in the Iron Garment Skill was also rising steadily.

In the future, he probably would not lack Skin Refining Realm techniques either.

Simply perfect!

For the period that followed, Jiang Wangzu poured all his work and attention into the construction of the dance hall.

One month later.

Never-Night City Dance Hall officially opened for business!

Xu Shanyue, Gu Changqing, and Dai Qinghe personally came to support the dance hall and attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This also made those with intentions remember that Never-Night City Dance Hall was Canal Gang property, and it must absolutely not be offended lightly.

That night.

The neon lights of Never-Night City Dance Hall flickered.

The usher girls wore matching standardized long slit qipaos and stood on both sides of the dance hall entrance.

Guests who had come because of its reputation truly arrived in an endless stream.

This was all thanks to Jiang Wangzu spending a great sum before the dance hall opened to build momentum and advertise his dance hall in all the major newspapers of Shen City.

As a result, Never-Night City Dance Hall had already drawn attention from all sides before it had even opened.

On the hall's stage.

Thirty-six dancing girls wore hot pants and midriff-baring outfits, opening with a hot dance that instantly seized everyone's eyes.

Those who came to dance halls had seen all kinds of scenes, but this was one scene they really had never seen before.

"Tch, I thought it was something special. It's just selling flesh to grab eyeballs!"

"A dance hall is supposed to be a place of elegance. This counts as a dance hall?"

"I knew the Canal Gang couldn't put together anything good!"

"Actually, even most of the dance halls in the Upper District lose money, let alone a dance hall opened in the Lower District."

"Only a dance hall with a star holding the fort is a true gold-devouring den. What kind of star could a dance hall like this, opened in the Lower District, invite?"

"Not only that, good dance halls all have their own Western songs. Surely they aren't going to sing tunes from other dance halls here, are they?"

"The people behind those other dance halls all have hands and eyes reaching the heavens too. How could they possibly let the Canal Gang plagiarize them in broad daylight?"

"And they call it Never-Night City Dance Hall. What a joke."

"..."

Today was the first day Never-Night City Dance Hall opened for business.

Among those who came here, aside from people with a heavy curiosity for the novel, there were the Canal Gang's competitors.

The Blue Society, the Hong Association, and people from some second- and third-rate forces had all come here, putting on a show of drinking while watching the fiery dance number.

Jiang Wangzu stood on the second floor, taking in the entire first-floor hall, taking in every trace of disdain on those fellows' faces.

After tonight, they would understand who the real entertainment godfather of the Lower District was!

After the opening dance.

A woman in an ink-wash qipao, her long hair permed into big waves, went onstage to sing:

"That evening breeze blew cool."

"That nightingale sang softly."

"The flowers beneath the moon all sank into dreams."

"Only that evening primrose..."

The song drifted out softly, languid and lingering, gentle and teasing.

It was like wave after wave of evening breeze blowing lightly past, making people intoxicated.

Even the pedestrians outside the dance hall stopped to listen.

There was no other reason. This song was simply too beautiful.

I'll give you a few timeless golden classics, and then you'll know why the flowers are so red!

Jiang Wangzu thought with great satisfaction in his heart.

The woman singing was called Jasmine. She was extremely beautiful, had an excellent voice, and was proficient in music.

Although she was not a star yet, after tonight, she would be!

When the song ended, the atmosphere in the dance hall instantly came alive.
