Village Brave

It wasn't too far from Second Master Zhao's villa to his home; it only took about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Fang Yu gently pushed open the courtyard gate and looked at the main house, which was dimly lit.

He turned around and closed the door. As he approached the room, he heard a cough coming from inside. "Is that Brother Fang back?"

"It's me, Mother. I had some business at the yamen these past few days, which took some time!" Fang Yu said, peeking through the crack in the door at his nominal mother.

Although she's called "Old Mother," she's actually not that old, only in her thirties. She still has a certain charm, but her health isn't very good. She's said to have tuberculosis, but Xu Fang has been coughing since she can remember. She doesn't have a formal name; she only knows that everyone calls her Xiao Jiumei.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Xiao Jiumei said a few words and then coughed again, "Oh, right, Cui'er came looking for you a while ago and told you to go find her after you got home. Brother Qing also came looking for you!"

"Knew!"

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He knew his mother already knew he was lying. Brother Qing was just someone who worked alongside Xu Ning, and now that Xu Ning had come to their house, his excuse was exposed. But it didn't really matter. It would be strange if Xu Fang didn't lie.

"I'm going back to my room," he added, walking towards his room in the east wing.

His room was messy, with all sorts of odds and ends piled up together, and there was a faint strange smell. Fang Yu opened the doors and windows, and after a while, the smell in the room subsided a bit.

He went to the table and instinctively tried to take out his own tea set, but found that the space inside the Yuanchen Pearl could not be opened.

'Hmm, this world doesn't seem to support cultivation!'

Fang Yu murmured something, stretched out his finger, and began to calculate the fortune of this body ' Xu Fang '. After a long time, however, there was no reaction.

'Indeed, the core of this divination technique lies not in methods and skills, but in the Heavenly Dao. This place is not the Black-Yellow Realm; the Heavenly Dao does not respond. My "Spiritual Pivot Resonance Chapter" is now utterly useless.'

Fang Yu then circulated his Cultivation Method again, sensing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but naturally, there was no Spiritual Qi in the world.

All Cultivation Method can be declared obsolete.

Fang Yu had long been mentally prepared for the inability to cultivate immortality, so this was all within his expectations. Even the power of the Yuanchen Pearl was now almost completely useless.

He had previously used the Lightning-Warding Pearl to draw down heavenly lightning, which he used to charge the Yuanchen Pearl, allowing its innate Divine Ability to play a role, enabling it to bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.

However, apart from this Divine Ability, he cannot use any other Divine Ability, such as sensing fortune, manipulating flames, and so on.

It seems that the Heavenly Dao of this world only support certain abilities related to the physical body, and not others.

As for the Yuanchen Pearl's Void Penetration ability, it is currently disabled, and its ' Fate Weaving ' ability is naturally out of the question after losing the support of the local Heavenly Dao.

So overall, the Yuanchen Pearl is essentially useless.

However, besides repairing my physical body, the Primordial Qi accumulated within the Yuanchen Pearl should also help me break through my local martial arts bottleneck.

Thinking of this, his mind flashed through Xu Fang's memories of the past eighteen years like a revolving lantern.

His father, Xu Bao, was a gambling addict who spent most of his time in gambling dens, rarely returned home, and was often in debt, leading to casino officials coming to his home to collect the debts.

Fortunately, there was a good younger sister named Xu Ying who was involved in gangs. She had a talent for martial arts and was already Eighth-Grade Martial Soldier at the age of sixteen. She was also a leader in the Grain Gang, and with her influence, fewer and fewer people came to the house to collect debts.

As for Xu Fang, she doesn't have her younger sister Xu Ying's talent in martial arts. Although she has been practicing martial arts, she is still only at the beginner level and hasn't even reached the Ninth-Grade Village Brave. It is only because of her sister's reputation that she is able to work as a hanger-on for the county constable ' Xu Ning ' and make a living.

Of course, he was essentially a scoundrel and a thug, and this wasn't the first time he had committed murder and arson. However, he had only bullied the lower classes in the past, which was why he had survived until now.

After encountering Second Master Zhao, Ninth-Grade Village Brave, he was doomed and turned into fertilizer.

Now, by a stroke fortuitous opportunity luck, he has taken over this person's body. From now on, he should be careful with his words and actions, focus his energy on martial arts training, and never do those dirty things again.

This world is a world of Demon Martial Arts, where martial arts are revered; he still needs to start from this aspect.

He got up, closed the door and windows, and moved all the tables, chairs and benches in the room to the wall to make room. After clearing a space, he slowly lowered his body, hunched his chest and straightened his back, and straightened his head, his body like a leopard gathering its strength.

This is his family's secret Cultivation Method, "Leopard Fist," which can be mastered to the level of Seventh Grade Battle Soldier.

It is said that this Cultivation Method was learned by Xu Bao's father from the army. When mastered, it is like a leopard, capable of unleashing tremendous speed and power in a very short time, making it extremely powerful.

Xu Fang started training from a young age, but unfortunately, like his father Xu Bao, he had no talent and was even less talented than Xu Bao Xu Bao, who at least became Ninth-Grade Village Brave.

However, he was unable to break through the barrier for a long time.

"Roar!"

With a low growl, Fang Yu suddenly darted out, his figure instantly reaching the wall. He stomped heavily on the base of the wall, then turned back, appearing on the other side of the wall in the blink of an eye.

After repeating this back and forth dozens of times, Fang Yu felt his Qi and Blood boiling, with a faint sensation of Qi and Blood rushing to his head. At the same time, his hands and feet also felt like they were being inflated.

The Ninth Grade of martial arts is officially called: Village Brave.

This is known in folk tradition as the Qi and Blood Pass," which requires one to be able to control one's own Qi and Blood in order to enter the Eighth Grade of "Tendon-Changing and Marrow-Breaking," a process of strengthening muscles and bones.

Xu Fang has always been stuck on the issue of controlling her Qi and Blood.

Fang Yu felt that with his comprehension and talent, learning martial arts should be a piece of cake, but after some actual practice, he found that controlling one's Qi and Blood was not so easy.

After practicing for a while longer, as his strength waned and his Qi and Blood began to wane, he finally realized just how inferior this body's martial arts aptitude was.

'Strength is the foundation of everything; it's best to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible!'

Fang Yu muttered to himself, no longer insisting on breaking through on his own. He focused his mind on the Yuanchen Pearl, transforming the 'remaining' Primordial Qi inside into ' Qi and Blood ' and infusing it into his body.

The surging Qi and Blood flowed into the body, rushing and crashing along the blood vessels, directly widening the meridians and allowing the Qi and Blood to flow faster, reaching the limbs almost instantly.

"Sizzle..."

Suddenly, Fang Yu's shoes were crushed, leaving a shallow footprint on the ground with tiny holes like pinpricks, caused by the gushing Qi and Blood and qi from his feet.

The powerful reaction force propelled Fang Yu to the base of the opposite wall almost instantly. Without thinking, he instinctively slammed his palm on the ground. The surge of Qi and Blood and energy in his palm generated a powerful force that sent his body flying back, leaving a shallow handprint on the ground.

'So this is what it means to manipulate Qi and Blood!'

Fang Yu turned back several times until his internal Qi and Blood stabilized. Only then did he stop, slowly clenching his fists and feeling the Qi and Blood flowing through his fingertips.

When one's Qi reaches the four extremities, it signifies the mastery of Qi and Blood, qualifying one as a "Village Brave," Ninth Grade martial artist.

After a moment, Fang Yu was able to sense the Yuanchen Pearl.

The little Primordial Qi Primordial Qi he had accumulated by being struck by lightning was completely depleted, and he needed to replenish it. However, without the Lightning-Warding Pearl, if he were to be struck by lightning again, he would truly be killed.

Therefore, the only option left is for the Yuanchen Pearl to slowly accumulate Primordial Qi by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon that dissipates between heaven and earth.
