"Even if the net profit was only two thousand silver dollars a day, that would still be sixty thousand silver dollars coming in over a little more than a month."

"In other words, in one month, we can pay off the money we owe the gang."

"With the remaining money, A-Zu, you can take thirty percent. That's nearly twenty thousand silver dollars a month, more than two hundred thousand a year."

"A-Zu, this time you're really going to strike it rich!"

Xu Zhenzhen did the math, and her eyes lit up despite herself.

This money belonged purely to Jiang Wangzu personally. That had been written into the contract.

As for her, Gu Jingyun, and Zhao Cheng, they were all on fixed salaries.

But Jiang Wangzu had fought for some benefits for them. If the daily turnover exceeded a certain amount, they could all receive part of it as a bonus.

There would also be a year-end bonus.

Adding it up, earning several thousand silver dollars a year should be no problem.

That was more than Chen Tai made in a year.

"It's late today, and everyone's worked hard. Go back early and get some rest."

Jiang Wangzu spoke up.

The dance hall did not open during the day, but that did not mean there was nothing to do in the daytime.

Still, there really was not much to be busy with in the morning. It would not be too late to make preparations in the afternoon.

At his words, everyone left one after another.

Only Jiang Wangzu and Xu Zhenzhen remained in Never-Night City Dance Hall.

"This is too much money. I won't feel at ease leaving it here rashly. Tonight, Sister-in-law and I will supervise each other and watch over this money."

"Starting tomorrow, Brother Cheng, set up a separate security team to keep an eye on the money."

"Deposit it straight into the bank every morning. Money in the pocket is peace of mind!"

Jiang Wangzu said this to Zhao Cheng and Gu Jingyun.

"All right."

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng and Gu Jingyun shrugged helplessly.

Looking at Jiang Wangzu and Xu Zhenzhen, they revealed expressions that were not quite smiles.

Are you two really supervising each other over the money?

We're too lazy to expose you!

After Zhao Cheng and Gu Jingyun left.

Jiang Wangzu closed the front doors of Never-Night City Dance Hall.

Then he and Xu Zhenzhen fought thirty thousand rounds in his private bedroom on the second floor.

The two were like heavenly thunder hooking earthly fire, battling until the air grew scorching hot.

For a long, long time, they could not stop!

Autumn in Shen City.

By the early hours of the morning, it brought a slight chill.

That night, Chen Tai kept watch in a dark corner not far from Never-Night City Dance Hall.

He saw Zhao Cheng and Gu Jingyun leave Never-Night City Dance Hall.

But after waiting and waiting, he still did not see any trace of Jiang Wangzu or Xu Zhenzhen.

"Whore!"

"Slut!"

"Rotten bitch!"

"Filthy adulterers!"

"I'll kill you both!"

Chen Tai clenched his fists so hard his fingertips turned white and his knuckles cracked. He wished he could charge into Never-Night City Dance Hall at once.

But he did not dare.

It was not only that he did not know how to face Xu Zhenzhen.

He was even more afraid the Canal Gang would trace it back to him.

Right now, he had merely lost face.

But he was still the boss of Rongsheng Street.

He had not yet been forced onto a dead-end road.

So he did not want to kill Xu Zhenzhen.

He had only wanted to go along with the wishes of certain elders within the Canal Gang, assassinate Jiang Wangzu, and vent the hatred in his heart!

But now Xu Zhenzhen and Jiang Wangzu were sparring, and from the looks of it, they would not be coming out tonight.

Then all his waiting today had turned into a joke!

The next evening.

Chen Tai kept watch at the Never-Night City Dance Hall as usual.

That night, Jiang Wangzu and Xu Zhenzhen still did not leave the Never-Night City Dance Hall.

Chen Tai's fury had already risen to his throat, choking him until he had to spit it out.

But he could only endure it!

By the afternoon of the third day.

Jiang Wangzu left the Never-Night City Dance Hall early.

He knew his chance had come.

Chen Liujia's residence.

With his foundation in the Tiger-Subduing Stance, and with the accelerated method bolstering him, in less than ten days after Jiang Wangzu obtained the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance, he had already cultivated it to the stage of great accomplishment.

That speed was practically as fast as riding a rocket!

However, after the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance reached great accomplishment, Jiang Wangzu could feel that its progress had clearly slowed.

Stance work was, after all, a method for laying a foundation. It was destined to be something that could not be accomplished in one leap.

Even though Jiang Wangzu possessed the accelerated method, it was still impossible to finish it in one leap.

His cultivation speed was merely a bit faster than other people's.

His method of cultivating was merely a bit easier than other people's!

And Jiang Wangzu could also sense that his Iron Garment Skill had reached a critical point. He estimated that if he used the Black Iron Paste once more today and soaked in a medicinal bath once, he would break through to the stage of grand perfection.

As for external hardening techniques, many were easy to learn but hard to master.

So wanting to reach the stage of grand perfection was actually not easy.

Jiang Wangzu felt that he had cultivated the Iron Garment Skill for long enough, and it was about time he broke through to the stage of grand perfection.

But in Chen Liujia and Han Qiao's eyes, he was an unprecedented genius of external hardening.

His speed in cultivating external hardening techniques was simply too fast!

"Master!"

Jiang Wangzu walked into the courtyard, came before Chen Liujia, cupped his hands in a bow, and spoke.

"A dragon's gait and tiger's stride, a tiger crouched and dragon coiled."

"How long has it been? This kid has actually cultivated the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance to great accomplishment?"

"Not bad. I really picked up a treasure!"

As Chen Liujia watched Jiang Wangzu's movements, whether walking, lying, sitting, or standing, he could not help but nod in satisfaction.

In the present age, there were countless stance arts, each with its own strengths.

But only the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance was the hardest to train, and its effects were also the best.

Every year, there were always some geniuses who did not know life from death and wanted to cultivate the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance to grand perfection, condensing Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone and the Dragon Tiger Dao Foundation.

But without exception, they all failed.

Many people said those geniuses might not have been true geniuses.

There were also people who said that only a peerless genius with the potential to become a Xiantian Grandmaster had any chance of cultivating the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance to perfection in the early stages of martial cultivation.

Chen Liujia also did not know whether Jiang Wangzu, this cheap disciple who had boarded the cart before buying the ticket, could cultivate the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance to grand perfection.

After all, between great accomplishment and perfection, there was still a huge gap.

If he could not, then he could only switch to the stance art Chen Liujia had created himself.

In any case, if he used the Tiger-Subduing Stance as the foundation of his martial path, that absolutely would not do.

If the quality was not enough, making it up with quantity would not do either.

Quite a few top martial artists cultivated several, even a dozen, dozens of stance arts at the same time to solidify their foundations.

But that kind of foundation was flimsy and loose; it looked decent, but in truth it could not be twisted into one rope at all!

It was still fine for bullying little kids.

But if they truly encountered an expert, they might get hammered to pieces!

"Junior Brother, hurry up and apply the Black Iron Paste."

"My fists can't wait any longer!"

Han Qiao was also standing on the Martial Practice Platform as she spoke.

"Go spar with your senior sister."

"Having a Strength Realm expert as your sparring partner—this is treatment other people couldn't even dream of."

Chen Liujia waved a hand, then leisurely drank his tea.

Jiang Wangzu found the Black Iron Paste with practiced ease, smeared it all over his body, then went up onto the Martial Practice Platform to spar with Han Qiao.

Han Qiao's offensive speed was even faster and sharper than before.

But with Jiang Wangzu's Black Tiger Fist at perfection, and with the support of the Iron Garment Skill and the Dragon Tiger Heaven Stance, he fought steadily and surely, moving like a tiger, domineering beyond compare, and he actually didn't fall behind in the slightest.

Even Han Qiao had to bring out the strength of a Skin-Refining martial artist in order to suppress him!

After fully absorbing the medicinal effects of the Black Iron Paste, Jiang Wangzu immediately went to soak in the medicinal bath.

He felt that his Iron Garment Skill was about to reach perfection!
