Seeking Martial Arts

Qian Xiaoling is Zhou Yaning's subordinate.

She was also present when they entered the Black Mist before, and Lu Chengchuan had some impression of her. Despite her seemingly soft and harmless appearance, she showed no fear when fighting Monsters.

"I'm a Level 127 VIP member, and this is my friend."

After they finished talking, Qian Xiaoling turned to show her proof to the waiter, a small, matte black token hanging down. Knowing she was a VIP member, the waiter's attitude became more respectful and no longer pressed the issue of membership.

Qian Xiaoling led Lu Chengchuan to the third floor, where Zhou Yaning and several others were waiting.

Lu Chengchuan entered the private room. Zhou Yaning was sitting on the sofa talking to someone. When he came in, they stopped talking and all looked at him.

"He's here. This is Lu Chengchuan."

Several people stood up to greet him. Lu Chengchuan glanced over them. In addition to the familiar faces from the Investigation Team, there were three men in the room he had never seen before.

"This is Giant Elephant Style Master, Zhao Chuanshan. These two are his disciples, Qin Sheng and Li Ming." Zhou Yaning came over and introduced the three men to him one by one.

Giant Elephant Style Master, sounded like a sect leader.

Lu Chengchuan focused his gaze on Zhao Chuanshan, observing his every move.

Zhao Chuanshan was in his forties. His arms, exposed outside his sleeves, were very strong, and his eyes were piercing. The other two were his disciples, and they also had a good temperament, with confidence radiating from their faces at all times.

Lu Chengchuan sized up the men, while the man being sized up was also observing Lu Chengchuan, scrutinizing this 'martial arts genius'.

He looked Lu Chengchuan up and down, recalling what Zhou Yaning had told him.

The young man before him didn't have much that was special about him, except for a glint in his eyes that made him seem extraordinary.

Lu Chengchuan also didn't think Zhao Chuanshan was anything special. From his appearance, he was just a very strong and energetic middle-aged man.

"Hello."

Zhao Chuanshan took the initiative to greet him, extending his right hand to him.

Lu Chengchuan responded and shook his hand a few times.

After the two finished their pleasantries, Zhou Yaning walked over: "Didn't you want martial arts? Master Zhao told me. As long as you can satisfy Master Zhao, he will unconditionally teach you the skills of his style."

Zhou Yaning hadn't forgotten his request. After returning and dealing with the matter, she found the director and explained the situation.

The Investigation Bureau was also very interested in Lu Chengchuan, an unprecedentedly powerful martial artist. They were naturally curious.

Zhao Chuanshan's sect was in Anyang City, and he also had connections with the Investigation Bureau. She found Zhao Chuanshan, told him about the matter, and upon learning of such an ignorant person, Zhao Chuanshan couldn't wait to see him.

"What does Master Zhao want me to do?"

Unconditionally give him martial arts? Hearing this, Lu Chengchuan wasn't happy. On the contrary, he was even more puzzled.

After all, the free stuff is the most expensive. They didn't know each other, so why would they give him martial arts for nothing? Was there something waiting for him here?

Not blinded by the benefit, Lu Chengchuan calmly asked Zhao Chuanshan what the conditions were.

Zhao Chuanshan shook his head slightly. He knew what Lu Chengchuan was worried about, and he didn't intend to explain. Instead, he slowly said, "I don't need you to do anything. Just have a fight with me."

"Have a fight, with you?" Lu Chengchuan thought he had heard wrong.

"That's right, have a fight with me. As long as you can beat me, I will pass on my martial arts to you." Zhao Chuanshan nodded, his tone extremely firm.

Without a fight, he would never know how powerful Lu Chengchuan was. It wasn't that he didn't believe Zhou Yaning, but he wanted to see it with his own eyes and confirm its authenticity.

The others were surprised to hear that he wanted to fight Lu Chengchuan. They didn't know that Zhao Chuanshan had this idea, and thought he was just asking Lu Chengchuan to do something.

"Now, right here?"

The man nodded to confirm. Lu Chengchuan followed his wishes and directly asked him if he was ready.

"Right here, let's go over there."

Zhao Chuanshan pointed to the other side of the room. The private room was very spacious, enough for them to fight. After saying that, Zhao Chuanshan walked over first, and Lu Chengchuan immediately followed.

The crowd also caught up, surrounding them to watch the match.

One was a martial arts master who had been famous in the martial arts world for a long time, a Giant Elephant martial artist who had once defeated ten opponents single-handedly, while the other was an unknown young man.

Zhao Chuanshan's two disciples sized up Lu Chengchuan. This young martial artist, who was about the same age as them, seemed to be extraordinary, but they didn't think he was that powerful.

Lu Chengchuan walked to the opposite side of Zhao Chuanshan. The two were seven or eight meters apart, enough space for them to use their fists and feet.

"Please!"

Zhao Chuanshan first raised his hand in salute, then shouted loudly and took the lead.

He was like an angry giant elephant, stepping towards Lu Chengchuan step by step. When he reached him, Zhao Chuanshan punched Lu Chengchuan's chest.

This punch could break bricks, and it would definitely not feel good to be hit by it.

Since Zhou Yaning said he was very powerful, Zhao Chuanshan wouldn't hold back on purpose. He went all out from the start.

Lu Chengchuan stood still. It wasn't that he didn't react, on the contrary, Zhao Chuanshan's speed was too slow. As soon as the man threw his fist, Lu Chengchuan knew where the fist would land.

He raised his hand and caught Zhao Chuanshan's fist.

This moment happened very quickly, and the onlookers didn't see it clearly. They only saw that suddenly, Lu Chengchuan steadily grabbed Zhao Chuanshan's fist, and he himself was still motionless.

The fist hit his palm, and Lu Chengchuan didn't feel anything.

The fist was slow and weak. After the third level of Eagle Claw Iron Body Skill was completed, his skin, flesh, bones, tendons, and membranes were so strong that ordinary people couldn't imagine it. It was easy for him to catch this punch.

Seeing that he stood as steady as a mountain, Zhao Chuanshan realized his full-force punch hadn't moved him even a fraction.

With just that one punch, Zhao Chuanshan knew Zhou Yaning hadn't been wrong; this guy was strong, far stronger than he'd imagined.

Shocked, Zhao Chuanshan tried to pull his hand back, but Lu Chengchuan was faster. He grabbed Zhao Chuanshan's wrist and yanked him forward.

Zhao Chuanshan didn't even struggle; his body instantly lost its balance, and he was easily pulled over.

After pulling him close, Lu Chengchuan quickly released his grip and struck him with a palm. Zhao Chuanshan was sent flying, landing flat on the ground.

He'd held back a lot of strength in that palm strike; otherwise, Zhao Chuanshan's situation would have been more dire than simply lying on the ground.

"Master! Are you alright!"

Seeing their master fall, Qin Sheng and Li Ming quickly rushed forward to help him up.

"Cough, cough! I'm fine, he's a true master! Cough, cough!" Zhao Chuanshan was helped up, but when he tried to speak, he coughed several times from the pain, only recovering after a moment.

Too fast, too fast, and the strength was incredible too. Zhao Chuanshan hadn't even seen the movements before he was on the ground.

"Let me ease your discomfort."

Seeing Zhao Chuanshan coughing, Lu Chengchuan stepped forward and placed his hands on Zhao Chuanshan's chest, channeling Blood Essence.

Instantly, Zhao Chuanshan felt a warm current enter his body. The pain in his chest instantly dissipated, the stagnant Blood Essence began to circulate, and his uncomfortable body suddenly felt incredibly relaxed.

"This is... Blood Essence?"
