In the field.
Lie Jingyun was so shocked by the punch that he took more than ten steps back before barely regaining his balance.
His right arm hung weakly by his side, the whole arm was shaking violently, the tiger's mouth burst open, and blood dripped down from his fingers.
"I lost."
Lie Jingyun lowered his head and his voice was hoarse.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Xuan across from him. There was no trace of unwillingness or resentment in his eyes. Instead, there was an indescribable admiration in his eyes. "Your boxing skills are indeed good. I won't lose unfairly."
Qin Xuan stood with his fists closed, his breathing a little short.
He bowed slightly, clasped his fists, and said in a calm tone, "Promise."
There was a deathly silence on the sidelines at first, and then there was an explosion.
"We win! Senior Brother Qin wins!"
"It's so strong! Did you see that punch just now? I didn't even see it clearly!"
"Mountain-Breaking Fist Major Accomplishment? How old is Senior Brother Qin? This understanding is really a monster..."
"Lie Jingyun isn't weak either. If it were us, we probably wouldn't be able to withstand that splitting wind fist."
"So what, I wasn't defeated by Senior Brother Qin with one punch."
Jiang Fa leaned under the old tree, his eyes flashing.
"Mountain-Breaking Fist Major Accomplishment, Late Dark Force's cultivation, coupled with that weird body technique...Qin Xuan's current combat power may have exceeded that of most people in the same realm."
The growth rate of Qin Xuan is truly amazing.
With high-quality roots and Zhao Zhong cultivating them with all their efforts, thanks to the tilt of resources, progress can be said to be rapid.
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
Tang Jin'er's voice pulled him back from his thoughts.
She pulled on his sleeves with excitement on her face. "Did you see that? Senior Brother Qin is so powerful! That punch made the big man unable to lift his hands!"
Jiang Fa nodded. "Yeah."
In the middle of the martial arts arena, Lie Jingyun raised his fist towards Qin Xuan and took the lead to get off the martial arts arena.
Lie Changkong turned his head and looked at Zhao Zhong. After a long time, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Brother Zhao, you are truly an amazing disciple."
He said with a complicated look on his face, "In a few months at the martial arts competition, with this son here, you Zhao Clan Martial Hall will probably become famous in Qingshan County again."
Zhao Zhong smiled faintly, "Brother Lie has been praised too much. This apprentice has only just begun to get a glimpse of the door. It still needs a lot of polishing."
"A first glimpse of the door?" Lie Changkong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If you say that, doesn't my nephew even touch the threshold?"
After he finished speaking, he patted Zhao Zhong on the shoulder, glanced at Qin Xuan again, said nothing more, and left with the people from Liefeng Martial Arts Hall.
It wasn't until Lie Changkong and his group disappeared outside the gate of the martial arts hall that the discussion in the martial arts arena gradually subsided.
But everyone knows that from today on, Qin Xuan's status in the martial arts gym will probably be raised a little higher.
Sure enough, that afternoon, Zhao Zhong sent someone to send three bottles of good elixirs to Qin Xuan, so that he could practice hard and prepare for the Qingshan Martial Arts Association.
When the news came out, the disciples in the inner courtyard were filled with envy again.
Jiang Fa doesn't care about these movements.
He still practiced step by step, appearing on the martial arts field before dawn every day and practicing until late at night before returning to his room.
Tang Jin'er, on the other hand, had "encountered" him three or four times almost every day since she moved into the inner courtyard.
Sometimes it was in the dining room, sometimes beside the martial arts arena, and sometimes at the corner of the corridor.
This girl could always find any reason to show up in front of him. One day she would give him a pot of herbal tea, the next day she would give him a handkerchief to wipe away sweat, and the day after tomorrow she would give him a bag of candied plums that she could not bear to eat.
Jiang Fa takes the trouble, but is no longer as repellent as before.
He could see that Tang Jin'er was sincerely treating him well, without any utilitarian calculations.
"This girl is quite tough. She has only been in the inner courtyard for a few days, and her cultivation level has already stabilized at Early Ming Jin."
In the evening of that day, Jiang Fa returned to his room after practicing his sword. When he passed by the martial arts field in the inner courtyard, he saw Tang Jin'er practicing boxing alone there.
She practiced extremely seriously and hit every punch meticulously.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, stretching the slightly thin figure to an extremely long length.
Jiang Fa looked at it for a while, did not come forward to disturb, and turned around silently to leave.
Returning to the wing, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated, with the panel appearing in his mind.

"With my current progress, I can break through to Late Dark Force in a few days."
Jiang Fa took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and began to run the Seven-Colored Glazed Glass Art mental method.
The night is getting darker and everything is silent.
He sat cross-legged, his energy and blood rushing through his meridians like a tide, washing away his flesh and blood over and over again.
On the second day,
Zhao Zhong summoned all the inner court disciples under the age of twenty to the Teaching Hall.
When Jiang Fa arrived, there were already ten or twenty people standing in front of the hall.
Qin Xuan stood at the front, dressed in white clothes and spotless, with a calm expression.
Behind him were several inner court disciples with unfamiliar faces. They were all new to the inner court in the past six months. They were all around eighteen or nineteen years old, and their strength ranged from Peak Ming Jin to Early An Jin.
Xu Feng, Zhao Chuan, Ma Ping are also here.
Xu Feng recently followed Weiyuan Escort Agency for a dart, and his tendons became stronger and stronger. He stood there looking around with excitement on his face.
Zhao Chuan is still the same as before, leaning against the pillar with his arms folded and looking lazy.
Ma Ping stood at the farthest back. The injury on his abdomen had long since healed, and he looked equally energetic.
Tang Jin'er also came. She stood on the edge of the crowd and secretly waved to Jiang Fa through a few figures.
After a while, Zhao Zhong walked out of the Teaching Hall, followed by Wang Shi.
He was wearing a gray robe today, with a serious expression on his face, and his eyes swept over the disciples in front of the hall one by one.
"Everyone is here?"
Wang Shi took a step forward, cupped his fists and said, "Back to Master, a total of twenty-three inner court disciples under the age of twenty have arrived."
